Chapter 109 On a Deeper Level Cheng Shuanglin knew that since Dong Mingsong had mentioned Luo Guxue, for whatever reason, it indicated that this young man had to be rather remarkable. Dong Mingsong understood Cheng Shuanglin’s surprise fully. After all, the first time he heard about Su Ping’s story, he was just as astonished. He trusted that Luo Guxue would not tell a lie. Besides, Dong Mingsong suspected that some top-level master trainer was helping Su Ping secretly, based on what he saw from the Lightning Rat. As such, he found it acceptable, although surprising, about Su Ping’s strength. “Mr. Su is a talent rarely seen. You cannot judge him with common standards. It is a pity that Mr. Su will not be available for the Elite League. Otherwise, I trust that he could very likely participate as a representative of our academy,” Dong Mingsong explained and sounded sorry. Cheng Shuanglin was shocked speechless. She had been a teacher there for four or five years. She graduated as a star student. During those years as a teacher, she had seen some outstanding, gifted students, such as the champion of grade three, Ye Hao, and that genius Su Yanying Xing Cheng, the winner from the previous year and Bai Mo from the year before that were both excellent students. They were their teacher’s and the academy’s pride. But. None of them could claim that they could kill a Magical Corpse Beast at the upper position of the eighth rank while at Su Ping’s age. That was unbelievable. Cheng Shuanglin found it surreal as she recalled how careless and sloppy as Su Ping rode his bike and how cheap his clothes were. She understood that however strong you were, there would always be someone stronger. After all, she had seen some pure geniuses at the Elite League. The battle pet warriors that could enter the finals every year were the ones that could summon ninth-rank pets to fight while they were at the sixth rank. Fighting enemies of a higher rank was common for those people. A true genius could fight enemies of such ranks that people would be astonished. While she was shocked by Su Ping and his strength, it was still acceptable to her. She just didn’t expect that someone that could shine brilliantly like a star in the Elite League could stand right in front of her. With an image that... was nothing like what she had imagined. Since she had nothing to say, Dong Mingsong turned to Su Ping, “Have you figured out what particular subject you want to teach?” Su Ping had not prepared at all. He asked, “What do you usually teach here?” Dong Mingsong knew that Su Ping was unprepared for his question. Inside, Dong Mingsong was smiling bitterly. “The basic information, such as the usual basic augmentation skills battle pet warriors use, the pets’ habitat, and how to pair with the pets’ skills, etc, all of this is taught by the average teachers. Advanced teachers teach something that cannot be found in textbooks. “For example, your own experience in training pets, or some special application of a certain skill, something you developed on your own, or pets’ practical training. You can demonstrate in person the different effects the same skills can generate.” Having heard that, Su Ping was stunned. He didn’t realize that the lecture could be this complicated. Not everyone could do this. “What does Mrs. Luo teach?” Su Ping asked curiously. Dong Mingsong smiled. “Mrs. Luo spends many days battling in the barren lands, so she usually teaches the practical battle experience and some survival secrets in the barren lands. That’s what the students are eager to learn. After all, after graduation, many students will choose to go to the barren lands. They must get familiar with them, to understand their future battlegrounds.” Su Ping digested this information and asked again, “How about the other three?” “They have similar topics but the contents vary. Sometimes, they will teach students some of their pet training experience. For example, Mr. Lan He is a part-time trainer himself. So, he will show the students some tips for training pets.” With that said, Dong Mingsong remembered that Su Ping was somewhat of a trainer as well. After all, there was that top-level master trainer behind his back. He must have taught Su Ping some knowledge. Dong Mingsong proposed, “When you give your lectures, you can talk about pet training. That can attract many students over.” Su Ping didn’t respond to the suggestion. He was thinking Dong Mingsong didn’t wish to disturb him, so he said to Cheng Shuanglin, “You are here for me. What is it?” Cheng Shuanglin had come back to her senses. She darted a glance at Su Ping’s back with a troubled look. She was there to ask Dong Mingsong about the textbook and discuss with him about Su Ping teaching. However, considering the reason why Su Ping had been hired, there was nothing she could see. After all, Su Ping was not there as an average teacher. Her opinion would not matter. “I think there is something wrong with those teaching materials.” Cheng Shuanglin gave the books she had to Dong Mingsong and went on, “I have dog-eared and marked the pages where I see the problem. Vice Principal, you can take a look when you get a chance. You are an eighth-rank battle pet warrior. You are more informed than I am. I don’t know if the problems are in the textbooks or my understanding.” Dong Mingsong didn’t know she was going to ask about this. He cast his eyes on the books placed on the table and then said to Cheng Shuanglin with a smile, “Sure. I will get back to you when I finish reading.” He did appreciate the dedication Cheng Shuanglin put into her work. Cheng Shuanglin nodded and left after giving one final look to Su Ping. After she was gone, Dong Mingsong called in Feng Yanjing who had been outside the door. He told the latter to notify the class monitors to promote Su Ping’s lectures and his identity. Feng Yanjing said yes. There were some weird looks in his eyes but he didn’t show them on his face. When Feng Yanjing left, Su Ping had figured out what he was going to teach. He had to think, not because he had nothing to give, but because he had too much stuff he knew. He had to select something not that confidential. He had not spent much time in the barren lands yet, and his astral powers were not strong; he had only been a battle pet warrior for a short time. That being said. He had seen the world after hundreds and thousands of times dying in the cultivation sites and from going across many cultivation sites. He had seen ancient pets that could not be found in the Illustration Book of the Federation. He had found pet food that should have become extinct a long time before. He had struggled to survive in many different kinds of environments. He had fought against advanced pets, beast kings, and creatures that were even more powerful. He was sadly killed in an instant when he encountered the latter two kinds of beasts; he had seen how the beast kings were making their moves. He knew it all, how beast kings of various species released their kills, what would be the indications and the habits when they launched their attacks. He remembered some fatally poisonous plants would prey on the creatures that came near. Those were things rarely seen in the uncultivated areas on the blue planet. However, in the worlds found in the unknown space fractures, there was a high chance that those creatures were found. After all, in those worlds inside the space fractures, things that should have been gone would be frequently spotted, just like the cultivation sites Su Ping entered. Apart from that fresh knowledge, Su Ping had a profound insight into his own skills. For example, using skills with deterrence powers to solve spirit attacks. This was his unique learning. Besides, some skills could produce miracles when applied together. He came across those combos after thousands of times of death. “So, have you decided?”. Dong Mingsong noticed how Su Ping became relaxed. The former said with a smile, “Don’t be too intense. You can think about the pets you are more skilled in. Luo Guxue, for example, teaches knowledge about pets of the fire family because she has this Flare Bird of the fire family. She has an in-depth study of pets of the fire family. On the other hand, Mr. Lan He has a profound knowledge of the pets of the water family. Students that prefer pets of the fire family and the water family will not miss their lectures.” Su Ping nodded. “Then I will teach about the pets of the undead family.” Dong Mingsong was taken aback. “Pets of the undead family?” Pets of the undead family was a large category at the very beginning, an independent family, just like the demon family and the dragon family. However, since too few people would use them, pets of the undead family were now included in the pets of the demon family. At the Phoenix Peak Academy, few people would use pets of the undead family. After all, most pets of the undead family appeared too ferocious and ugly. Besides, food for pets of the undead family was hard to find. Some pets of the undead family even feed on fresh hearts... For the general students, this was a huge test on their psychology! “Is there a problem?” Su Ping asked. Dong Mingsong produced a forced smile. “That’s not a problem. But few students use pets of the undead family. I’m afraid...” “That is okay. They may not use pets of the undead family, but they will encounter them sooner or later when they went to the unclaimed territories. Can they choose not to fight some monsters?” Su Ping explained. Dong Mingsong was surprised. But he nodded in agreement. “That is true. Are you going to share some information about fighting against creatures of the undead family?” “More or less.” Su Ping nodded. He had decided. He could teach something useful but not confidential. For example, some battle skills on a slighter deeper level. Survival experiences in the wild on a slighter deeper level. And the application of skills on a slighter deeper level. It wasn’t that he wanted to hide this information. It was just that those were enough for the students. He himself would have a hard time to apply some of the more complicated skills. Of the things he was going to teach, using deterrence skills to solve spirit attacks was the simplest one. Yet, for the students, it could be considerably difficult. The user had to strike a fine balance while releasing the skill. A millisecond could make a world of difference. Generally speaking, people might not be able to use this skill even if they knew the steps.
