Chapter 557 – Long Live The Class Leader
Bing Tianliang laughed. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Actually, you should be proud. I heard from the class leader that you’ve tried flying in the top 10,000 Battle Net ! That feeling must have been quite wonderful. Anyway, I don’t have the courage right now. You’re amazing.”
“Bing Tianliang, be as smug as you want for now. Just wait, you better watch your back, humph!” Ding Zhuohan said in annoyance.
Bing Tianliang curled his lips. “I think a certain person doesn’t even have the courage to continue piloting a space fighter.”
Ding Zhuohan said disdainfully, “That’s you, right? This afternoon, I’ll let you know what it means to be braver the more you lose. Boss, we’re still doing it this afternoon, and in the top 10,000 Battle Net. I don’t believe I’ll throw up again. But can you tell the teacher that if I throw up again, to not punish me.”
At the mention of a fine, Ding Zhuohan’s heart twitched. His heart had ached too much!
Lan Xuanyu looked at him in surprise. He didn’t expect this guy to be so stubborn! He vomited so badly yesterday and he still wanted to do it today? He took the initiative to request in the top 10,000 Battle Net.
“Alright, I’ll talk to the teacher.” Lan Xuanyu was absolutely supportive of such a determined student.
Ding Zhuohan turned to Bing Tianliang with a provoking expression. “Do you dare? Top 10,000. I did vomit, and it was really so disgusting. But I dare to it again. You don’t even have the courage to try. Don’t be an eyesore here. I don’t talk to cowards.” With that, he turned his head and laid on the table.
“You’re saying that I don’t dare? Why wouldn’t I dare? Let me tell you, I also threw up yesterday. Class leader, I’ll also do the top 10,000 today! I don’t believe it. I’m definitely not as lousy as someone.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at Ding Zhuohan, then at Bing Tianliang. Especially when he saw Ding Zhuohan’s victorious expression, he couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. What firm willpower? This guy is trying to pull people into the water! Poor Old Bing, he got his way after being goaded. Didn’t he realize that Ding Zhuohan was quite two-faced?
Lan Xuanyu walked to the front of the classroom. It wasn’t class time yet, but everyone was already there. He clapped his hands and made “pa pa pa” sounds, attracting everyone’s attention.
“While Teacher Xiao isn’t here, I have something to announce. If everyone is interested, you can participate. It doesn’t matter if you’re not.”
His words immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Who was Lan Xuanyu? The scariest thing about him was that ever since he came to Shrek Academy, he had been creating miracles and turning the impossible into a possibility. Despite being the one with the lowest cultivation base, he had become the undisputed class leader of the first years. He was someone who wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for his teammates and obtain benefits for everyone, allowing everyone to have their own Spirit Soul. This made his prestige among the first years unmatched. What he was about to say was definitely a good thing.
In any case, Ding Zhuohan and Bing Tianliang had already made up their minds to participate no matter what. Following Lan Xuanyu would give them meat to eat, and this was an eternal truth.
Lan Xuanyu said, “My secondary profession is forging. Recently, my forging has improved and I have gained some insights. Everyone knows that in the next year or so, our most important task is to craft a One-Word Battle Armor. Before graduating from our second year, everyone must have their own One-Word Battle Armor. This is the academy’s hard rule, so I believe that everyone will put in a lot of effort on this. After countless attempts, I’ve realized that my forging success rate is quite good. Currently, we have already decided that I will be the one to forge all the rare metals for the members of my team, as well as Bing Tianliang, Lin Donghui, and Yutian’s One-Word Battle Armor. But after thinking about it, since everyone is classmates and we belong to the first-ever experimental class in the Outer Court, I can open this up to everyone. If everyone needs it, I can forge the rare metals for all of you. If you’re not interested then you can continue crafting on your own.”
The moment he said that, the entire class was stunned. One person forging the rare metals of a whole class for making Battle Armors ? How fearless was the class leader! Wasn’t he afraid of delaying his cultivation?
Lan Xuanyu wasn’t afraid because the reason was very simple. During the forging process, his bloodline power, soul power, and his control over his body would be tempered. To a certain extent, it could be considered as cultivation. Although it wasn’t purely cultivating soul power like meditation, it was still beneficial to his overall ability. Furthermore, the success rate of his forging was definitely beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Class leader, how much is that?” One of the students couldn’t help but ask.
Lan Xuanyu: “Three purple emblems for a set. Uniform price and standard. No bargaining.”
Three purple emblems? The moment he said that, the entire class was in an uproar. This price was too expensive. Usually, after buying rare metals and forging, all the costs added up would be enough for one purple emblem. Three emblems were three times more expensive!
‘Class leader, you’re a little sinister ! So you want to earn money from us?’
Just at this moment, Ding Zhuohan raised his hand. “Class leader, I will take part. I need them. I don’t have three purple emblems now, but I will work hard to earn them.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded. He liked this kind of brother who played such a supporting role. “I’ll emphasize on two points. I know that it’s very difficult for everyone to pay three purple emblems, and you definitely don’t have that much right now. So, we can put it on credit without any interest. This is the first point. The second point is that all the metal forged will be guaranteed to be first-grade Thousand Refined. Since Zhuohan has already signed up, you will be behind Old Bing’s team. Everyone can go back and think about it. I won’t force it.”
With that, he returned to his seat.
What? What? The students’ eyes widened. Did they hear wrong? First-grade Thousand Refined?
Hundred Refinements could be used to make Battle Armors, and Thousand Refinements could be used to make a Battle Armor that can fuse with the user. With first-grade Thousand Refined metals, this would definitely make a top-grade One-Word Battle Armor! Even if it was Spirit Refined rare metals, they didn’t have the ability to fuse with the user! First-grade Thousand Refined metals were definitely the best choice.
A single purple emblem was considered ordinary for Thousand Refined metals, but could ordinary a Thousand Refinements compare to a first-grade Thousand Refinements?
Furthermore, they clearly remembered what the rare metals they brought back were. There was mithril! And the other metals were also extremely rare and precious. A first-grade Thousand Refined metal like this? Three purple emblems, it was cheap! It was definitely not expensive. Furthermore, they couldn’t buy it even if they had money! Not to mention that they could borrow money without interest.
“Long live the class leader !” Someone shouted and in the next moment, Lan Xuanyu was surrounded by his classmates.
Encirclement and sign up! Who didn’t see that Ding Zhuohan was already at the front? First come, first served! Blacksmithing required time, so it was better to book earlier! As for owing money? Wasn’t it just three purple emblems? If they couldn’t afford it now, they would be able to earn enough by the time they graduate from the Outer Court. Anyway, there wasn’t any interest! This was definitely a huge benefit.
Hence, when Xiao Qi walked into the class, he realized that the entire class was in an uproar. As the teacher, nobody cared about him at all. Everyone was surrounding Lan Xuanyu with their most flattering voices.
After Xiao Qi called Liu Feng out to clarify the situation, he couldn’t help but gasp. Was Lan Xuanyu crazy? Did he know how long it would take to forge a piece of rare metal for over 30 people? Furthermore, it was first-grade Thousand Refined metals !
“Xuanyu should be a fourth-rank blacksmith already, and his success rate is very high. Teacher, I believe in him, he never does anything that he isn’t sure of. Also, I’m afraid that the students don’t know that the rare metals he forges are different from others. It also has some of his bloodline aura, and thus an additional enhancement. I think that they are priceless.” Liu Feng never exaggerated, but it was also because of this that Xiao Qi was even more shocked and envious when he heard his words.
First-grade Thousand Refined!
Xiao Qi was also a smart person. After thinking for a while, he vaguely understood that Lan Xuanyu was doing this for the Star War Experimental Class. One was for everyone to be stronger, and the other was to be more united. But this required him to spend really too much of his time.
This child was truly outstanding! Although he was a little crafty at times.
Xiao Qi had to admit that he was moved by Lan Xuanyu’s actions. He was truly moved.
Lan Xuanyu’s soul power cultivation was the lowest in the entire class. Although he was the class leader and had extremely high potential, he still needed time to cultivate! And from the age of 12 to 18, it was the golden age for soul masters to cultivate. He was willing to waste so much time for his classmates.
‘No, we can’t do this. The academy was the one who proposed the Star War Experiment class. Xuanyu’s interestless loan probably won’t be able to allow Liu Feng to get his emblems back within a few years. As the teacher-in-charge, I have to fight for the students’ welfare no matter what. We must have the academy’s support for this. ‘
Xiao Qi had already made up his mind to look for Ying Luohong after class and tell her what happened. He wanted to see how the academy could compensate Lan Xuanyu. He was just a student!
Lan Xuanyu naturally didn’t know what Xiao Qi was thinking. As he registered for his classmates, he thought to himself joyfully, ‘This is great! The entire first year will now help to advertise my forging skill. Very soon, the entire Outer Court will know that I can forge first-grade Thousand Refined metals. And they’re special first-grade Thousand Refined metals.’
For how much was he going to sell it to the public? He wouldn’t accept stuff like loans, other than giving his classmates a non-interest loan. But the academy seemed to have a loan business. Five purple emblems for a set of One-Word Battle Armor with Thousand Refined rare metals weren’t expensive, right? And the metals would be provided by the customer.
‘How much can I save up when I graduate from the Outer Court? I’m really looking forward to it. Hehehe!’
He wasn’t worried about the success rate of his forging at all. He would think about it after consuming two other Emperor Fruits.
All in all, selling the metals he forged, selling the Emperor Fruits, and adding on his original savings, Lan Xuanyu now felt that he was especially confident. He was probably the richest person in the entire Outer Court.
