Chapter 127 Xu Yingxue

Su Ping offered several more battle examples, after which he realized that his student had more problems than he thought.

He couldn’t believe that Xu Kuang was an elite student of the Ares Academy. If so, that place was definitely beyond lame.

He had no idea what kind of lessons Xu Kuang usually had. But as far as he could see right then, this guy was bad. And this was bad news for him, because he’d have trouble earning his money. If Xu Kuang proved to be a slow learner who needed more time than necessary to get things done, then one million wouldn’t be worth his time.

Xu Kuang on the other hand, gladly listened to all the ingenious tactics provided by his teacher, since they brought him out of the box. Meanwhile, he was impressed by the fact that Su Ping knew so much about Undead-type Astral Pets.

Xu Kuang no longer considered Su Ping as his peer or rival. A small part of him even believed that Su Ping was, in fact, an old monster who somewhat kept that young look by using a forbidden art.

Under Su Ping’s instruction, Xu Kuang practiced several new techniques in the stadium and made his pets fight several times more efficiently than before. He couldn’t help but feel proud of his aptitude that allowed him to learn that fast.

“Mister-I mean, Professor Su?” He checked Su Ping’s face again and decided not to call him “mister.” “Can I hire you for lessons again in the future?”

“Huh?” Su Ping was slightly startled by it because he had decided not to waste time with this guy again. “Well… if I have time.”

“I understand, professor! Please forgive me for what I did earlier.” “It’s okay.” “Can I have your phone number?” “Let’s use the website.”

“Aw. Alright!”

“Well, I’ve told you more than what I should in one lesson.” Su Ping checked the time and sighed. “Gods, it’s almost three hours. I really should leave. Your payment?”

“Eh? Oh!” Xu Kuang quickly took out his backup phone and paid the fee. He found it weird that someone as strong as Su Ping needed part-time jobs like this. But again, it was normal. Even heroes needed to feed themselves.

“Professor, I’ll show you the way out. May I?”

“Good. Lead the way.”

They went to the door and saw the woman still resting outside, whereas her male partners had already left.

“Staying so late?” she asked Xu Kuang with a surprised look. “I’ve already done my exercise. Didn’t think you’d still be inside.”

Xu Kuang scratched his head. “Something got me occupied. Did those guys leave already?”

“They’re still fighting in there.”

Xu Kuang nodded and continued showing Su Ping the way out, as politely as he could.

The resting girl was puzzled when she saw such an unusual behavior from Su Kuang, though she didn’t have the chance to ask what happened because they were soon gone.

Xu Kuang accompanied Su Ping all the way to the main gate of the district before bidding farewell to him.

Before heading home, he glanced back and saw Su Ping calling a taxi.

He doesn’t have his own car, huh? Well, I guess big shots don’t care. That rich dad of mine even attends parties with slippers on… Wait, I should have helped him get a ride! Sh*t.

Using the taxi application in his phone, he could have found out where Su Ping lived. But it was too late for that now.

Xu Kuang sighed and walked back to his apartment.

Across the door, he heard his father discussing with his sister, about some recent events in barren areas.

He always dreamed of going there after graduation! “Hey sis, you’re back!” He quickly found his slippers and ran inside.

The woman sitting in the living room in a beautiful qipao with peony flowers sewn all over was Xu Yingxue, his respected elder sister, who always worked with other settlers in barren expeditions.

“It’s you!” Xu Yingxue smiled at him. “Why did your school day end so late?” Xu Kuang hopped to a seat beside her and chuckled. “Get your calendar working, sis! It’s the weekend.”

Xu Yingxue face-palmed. “You’re right. All the time I spent in the barrens confused me for good. You know, I can only tell the month now. Monsters don’t care about weekends anyway.”

“Heh heh. So what brought you back?”

“There’s a big mission coming. They gave us several days off before we start.”

“Nice!”

Xu Kuang appeared to be an obedient and loving child when his sister was around. If any of his friends saw him like this, they’d question reality itself.

“So… What were you doing at such an hour if there are no lessons at school?” asked Xu Yingxue.

“Oh, I was at the stadium. Training.” Xu Kuang couldn’t help but smile when thinking about what he had just gained. “You won’t believe it, sis. I hired a titled battle pet warrior as my personal coach today. Man it was good! Next week, I’ll go straight to the ranking match and go for second place. Then I’ll challenge the champion!”

“A titled pet warrior? Really? You were using my account, right? You had some luck today.” Their father chipped in. “Did you try befriending him? You’ll benefit us all if that teacher acknowledges you as his disciple.”

“I did!” Xu Kuang nodded proudly. “He said he’ll teach me again when he has the time for it.”

If Xu Kuang could get the constant help of a titled pet warrior, he’d soon surpass his sister. They were all aware of what this meant to the family.
