Godly Stay-Home Dad Chapter 1286

Chapter 1286 The Stunned Students

“Mr. Zhang, that’s all for today?” Fan Xiaoshuang asked.

“Yes, that’s all.” Zhang Han nodded slightly.

After the dean left, everyone thought that they would see a worried look on the tutor’s face. However, they didn’t expect him to be still so calm.

Generally speaking, someone like him should be hiding their lights under a bushel or have an amazing background or be a moron.

Hearing that, Fan Xiaoshuang looked a little disappointed and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang. I thought tutors at the Dragnet Academy are good at teaching. But I think it’s very boring to just watch those videos in cla.s.s.”

The two brothers, He Tao and He Lun, shook their heads slightly.

This was the second day at the academy. Some cla.s.ses had lessons yesterday afternoon. They also had friends in those cla.s.ses, just like Chu Chang’an had his friend, Ling Duoduo.

It was said that some tutors had delivered very wonderful lessons in a good rhythm. The knowledge they represented attracted everyone.

“Mr. Zhang, I want to challenge you. A battle of illusions.” Chu Chang’an’s face was full of fighting spirit.

Everyone could sense something from the dean’s att.i.tude.

Judging from it, they knew that the tutor before them maybe be not that powerful or not powerful enough to be a tutor.

This was the only reason why the dean had been so unfriendly to him.

“Mr. Zhang, you told us to learn after the video for such a long time in the cla.s.s. If possible, we want to see your strength,” He Lun said with a smile.

“That’s great. Let’s have a battle. Mr. Zhang, say yes! I hope you can beat him up.” Ling Duoduo applauded and spilled out.

Fan Xiaoshuang and Benny also became interested and looked at Zhang Han with a gaze that burned with antic.i.p.ation.

Zhang Han was silent for two seconds.

Then he smiled.

“It’s OK if it’s your wish.”

He raised his right hand slightly to the side, with his palm facing upward.

The box appeared.

“I know something about your mastery of illusions in this cla.s.s.” While speaking, Zhang Han shook his head slightly and said, “Your fundamentals are too weak. With your current cultivation, you can only get some credits. Or we can say you aren’t suitable for cultivating illusions at all.”

Boom!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck everyone’s hearts.

Chu Chang’an was livid. So were Ling Duoduo and the others. No one would be happy if they were denied.

But at this moment, they felt that the aura coming from Zhang Han’s body suddenly changed. He had been reserved and stately, but now he displayed his true colors!

A trace of fierceness from him made them shake inwardly.

A box?

Swoos.h.!.+

Chu Chang’an and the other five students gathered their soul senses at the same time as if they were going to see through the box.

“What!” Chu Chang’an’s face changed dramatically.

“It’s…it’s impossible!” He Lun exclaimed.

“How could it be a real one?” Ling Duoduo was in a daze.

In their soul sense, the box in front of them was real!

It didn’t look like an illusion at all.

Was this an illusion or had Zhang Han really taken out a box?

Swoos.h.!.+

The box suddenly changed into a long sword.

The sharp, fierce breath was a.s.saulting their faces relentlessly. It seemed that the Sword Qi was dispersing in all directions, making them feel a sense of urgency.

It was the aura… the aura of the sword.

All of a sudden, it turned into a high-tech gun.

Its deep-dark muzzle sent chills down everyone’s minds and bodies.

“I don’t believe it!”

It was beyond Chu Chang’an’s recognition. He stared at the front and used his soul sense to perform the occult art so as to penetrate Zhang Han’s illusion, but he still couldn’t find anything.

“Illusions are changing relentlessly. They confuse your eyes, your soul senses, and your divine senses.”

Zhang Han said calmly, “When the illusion is taken for real, the real becomes the illusion. They kill people without being detected. This is the force of illusions.

“What else do you want to see? You only know a little about the basics. What can you see?

Zhang Han shook his head slightly and moved his right hand.

“Grwaaaaah!”

A giant lion suddenly appeared. It opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth to bit Chu Chang’an. Its killing intent and oppression made him scream.

He let out a cry.

He took out a Defensive Treasure at once to form a protective barrier around himself.

However, the moment the giant lion touched him, it dissipated.

“Mountains and rivers.”

Zhang Han used his mind.

Swoos.h.!.+

Ling Duoduo and the others were on top of a peak in their senses.

There were unending mountains around them. The blazing sun rose up into the clear, boundless sky. The sunlines were dazzling and the wind was whistling.

They felt that they were indeed at the top of the mountain.

“Rivers.”

Splas.h.!.+

As the cras.h.i.+ng sounds resounded, the scene changed again. It was as if their bodies apart from their heads were immersed in rivers.

Their bodies were completely flowing with the waves and they even felt wet.

“Skies.”

Swoos.h.!.+

The scene changed again. It was as if they were in the void of the universe.

It was dark all around, and they could see all kinds of planets in the distance.

It was mysterious and quiet.

In the silence, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance, one hundred thousand feet tall.

“What is that?”

Their eyes were fixed there.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The figure walked over step by step and every step made a dull sound.

“A giant ape? No, it’s the King Kong in the legend!”

They were about to look up at it.

“Awoooooo!”

It roared and its voice unfurled in every direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It punched itself in the chest with its fists and seemed to be angry.

Suddenly, a giant fist came cras.h.i.+ng down.

“Ah!”

“No!”

“Aaaaah!”

The six students all cried out in shock. They were almost scared to death.

Its fists were as giant as mountains and they couldn’t dodge them at all.

They crashed down with an unstoppable aura.

The screams grew louder.

Cras.h.!.+

However, all the pictures disappeared when the fists came right before their eyes.

They were still in the cla.s.s.

“Hiss… hoo… hiss… hoo…” He Tao’s entire body was covered in a cold sweat as he collapsed to the ground.

He Lun, Chu Chang’an, Ling Duoduo, Benny, and Fan Xiaoshuang were short of breath, their faces pale. They were scared out of their wits.

From the beginning to the end, they had felt that it seemed to be real.

Somehow, they had their minds completely immersed in the illusions, unable to extricate themselves.

Without exaggeration, if someone had intended to kill them in the illusions, they would have been killed without any preparation.

“It was too terrifying.”

“I seemed to have felt the feeling of death just now.”

“Good heavens!”

They turned their heads and saw that on the podium stood Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord who still looked calm.

But the way they looked at him changed.

Their doubts and disdain had turned into shock and astonishment, and then excitement and mania.

“Strong man!”

“He’s definitely super strong!”

“It’s amazing. Only a few leaders in the Seven Illusions Sect can perform such illusions.”

The six of them looked at Zhang Han in shock.

They mumbled with a dazed expression on their faces that made the scene strange.

“I don’t have much time, or I don’t want to waste it on you.”

Zhang Han said, “You don’t even understand the basics, let alone the deeper ones. The foundation determines the height of a building.”

After lecturing, Zhang Han turned around and left.

He left the six students with their jaws hanging who remained silent for a long while.

Suddenly, Ling Duoduo cried out in surprise.

“Wow! What a powerful tutor! He’s definitely a strong man! Chu Chang’an, don’t tell me you’re not lucky. You’re so lucky! A tutor like him will definitely become famous at the academy after a time. The look on the dean’s face would be quite interesting. Oh boy, poor me. There’s no doubt that compet.i.tions will arise between people applying for sitting in on his lessons”

At the end of her words, she froze.

“It was like a dream just now.” A blank look showed on Benny’s slightly chubby face.

“Wait.” Fan Xiaoshuang who was a little older among those students suddenly said, “Just now, the tutor said that he doesn’t have much time. If what happened today is known to others, there will be more students in our cla.s.s. Then we will get less time from him.”

“That’s right!”

He Lun said, “Mr. Zhang needs to teach us hereafter. If there are too many people, we’ll lose our time.”

Swoos.h.!.+

The room suddenly plunged into silence.

All the people present knew what a good tutor meant.

Usually, it didn’t matter. They wouldn’t be influenced by whether their tutors were popular or not.

However, after two days of observation, they found that their tutor, Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord, was very lazy. He didn’t have much time and liked to stay idle.

This was a huge limitation.

They were all thinking about how to prevent others from finding out about it.

“Eh? My cla.s.s is beginning soon.” Ling Duoduo said in surprise, “Why did I fall asleep just now? Alas, his cla.s.s was so boring. Videos only.”

After that, she left.

“She’s right. He only played some videos and didn’t bother to teach us by himself. He’s not qualified,” Chu Chang’an said and left.

Judging from his hurried steps, they knew that he was going back to practice the basics of illusions.

“The dean was right. Mr. Zhang is a new tutor who doesn’t know anything,” Fan Xiaoshuang said with a smile and left.

“Ha-ha. I was dreaming in my sleep just now. What a boring cla.s.s! What an interesting dream!” He Lun said.

“Me too. We’re the same.”

The two of them staggered away.

The only person left was Benny. After pondering for a long time, she looked at the empty cla.s.sroom and muttered, “These people are so hypocritical. It’s obvious that our tutor didn’t do anything. That’s right. Well, I don’t know anything.”

“…”

As for the dean of the Illusions Department, he called the branch president again.

“Mr. President, I went to listen to the cla.s.s of Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord today. He almost didn’t say a word in the cla.s.s but just played videos for the students. Although there were only six students, five formal ones and one sitting in on, this kind of teaching will damage the reputation of our academy. Ling Duoduo from the Ling Family was among them. I suggest entrusting Mr. Fu to take charge of Cla.s.s 9. He’s experienced and responsible.”

“Okay, I know it.”

After that, the branch president hung up the call.

His att.i.tude was just like yesterday.

“What does he mean?”

The dean began to ponder. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out whether the branch president was going to do something or not.

Normally, the branch president had the right to change tutors. However, Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord was still uninhibited and unscrupulous after the dean had told the branch president twice about him.

“It was strange.”

The dean frowned and went back to his office building while thinking.

That was right. This seven-story office building belonged to him alone.

Before he got close, he saw Mr. Fu standing on the side.

“Mr. De.”

He came over and said, “It seems that no one cares that I was replaced. The higher-ups didn’t give me an explanation either. Mr. De, this…”

“I’ve already asked the branch president twice about it. I believe he’ll uphold justice.” The dean nodded. “If not, we can use the normal method to challenge Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord. Once his honor is destroyed, he’ll leave. I believe that he’s no match for you in terms of illusions.”

“Humph! In addition to some elders in the Seven Illusions Sect and some higher-ups at our academy, no one is enough to worry me in terms of illusions. Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord is no more than an unknown rookie.”

Mr. Fu snorted coldly and his words were full of disdain.

How old was Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord?

He wasn’t afraid of the kid at all.

But it seemed that he had forgotten that people couldn’t judge others by their appearance.

The next day, De Xi came to Cla.s.s 9 of the Illusions Department again.

He sat at one side with a poker face, waiting to see what the new tutor was going to teach his students.

However, something unexpected happened to De Xi after Zhang Han arrived.

“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Zhang.”

“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Zhang.”

Five formal students, together with Ling Duoduo, all stood up and greeted him.

What? There was something wrong with their att.i.tude!

The dean narrowed his eyes.

What did that mean?

Hadn’t these students looked a little indignant yesterday?

“I found this video on the Internet too. You can start practicing according to it,” Zhang Han said.

“I’ll definitely complete the task!” Ling Duoduo said.

“Why was this guest student so motivated?”

The dean frowned slightly.

He remembered very clearly that she had curled her lips at this new tutor the day before.

Moreover, when they watched the video yesterday, they had been resigned or unwilling. Today, they were absorbed in the video, eyes s.h.i.+ning.

“It’s really strange.”

The dean was a little confused.

No word came out from Zhang Han’s mouth in this cla.s.s except for those at the beginning.

Did he want to put them off with a perfunctory video from the internet?

Two hours pa.s.sed quickly.

The high-intensity training of illusions exhausted the spirit and strength of the six students.

Fortunately, they completed the task.

“Dismiss,” Zhang Han said and was about to leave.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang.”

“Goodbye, Mr. Zhang.”

“See you tomorrow, Mr. Zhang.”

They adopted a completely different att.i.tude from yesterday.

This was the case in the Cultivation World. Strong men were respected. Power would bring you more respect.

“Wait!” The dean said again, “Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord, is this how you teach your students?”

“Any problem?” Zhang Han glanced at him and said, “Or does Mr. De want to teach me how to do in the cla.s.s?”

“No, no, no. I’m proficient in illusions, but I’m not good at teaching. That’s why I’m the dean of the Illusions Department.” De Xi shook his head slightly and looked at the other six students, saying, “You’ve worked so hard to practice for two hours. You’re exhausted but got nothing. Do you think this kind of cla.s.s is meaningful? If you find it strange or awkward, you can tell me. Our academy prioritizes our students and our reputation. No tutors with connections can stay at this academy!”

He spoke this in a manner so righteousness that it almost inspired reverence!

However, the six students looked at him as if he was an idiot.

“It’s true that we’ve trained so hard,” He Lun said.

Then He Tao said, “It’s also true that we’re tired. But I think this kind of cla.s.s is very interesting. I like it.”

“Something making me feel strange and awkward…” Ling Duoduo said innocently, “It is someone’s examining gaze on us from the side in this cla.s.s.”

The dean was stunned.

“I don’t think we have a tutor with connections,” Fan Xiaoshuang said, “and what makes me feel strange is you, Mr. De. Aren’t you busy handling the affairs of our department? It’s such a big department after all.”

“She’s right. Our cla.s.s belongs to us, not you. Mr. De, you won’t be coming tomorrow, will you?” Benny agreed.

“No, no, no, you are wrong,” Chu Chang’an suddenly said.

“What do you mean?” The dean stared at Chu Chang’an as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

“I didn’t know Mr. De was in our cla.s.s just now. Maybe it was because I was concentrated on my practice or he was keeping such a low presence. I’m sorry, Mr. De. In fact, there’s no difference between you sitting there or not,” Chu Chang’an said with a serious face.

The dean held his breath in and almost exploded with rage.

Zhang Han’s mouth moved slightly.

He found it funny.

“Humph!”

The dean snorted coldly and turned to leave.

After a dozen steps, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at them, and said with a fake smile, “Every tutor at this academy is on the list of the Mysterious Tower. The former tutor, Mr. Fu, once ranked 88th on the list of illusions. You should take the time to give it a try, Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord. But please remember, there are many people in the Illusions Department paying attention to you. If you get a very low ranking, it’ll be difficult to convince them. Your students can come with you. The Mysterious Tower is a very good thing.”

After that, the dean turned around and left.

“Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang.”

Ling Duoduo ran quickly to Zhang Han and asked curiously, “Are you going to the tower? We want to see your challenge. Your power can make you high on top.”

“That’s right, Mr. Zhang.” Fan Xiaoshuang agreed. “When you challenge the tower, please let us watch from the side.”

“On one can watch the battle there,” Zhang Han replied.

“We don’t want to watch you battling. Instead, we want to see the changes in the rankings,” Chu Chang’an said.

Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t have time now. Maybe I’ll go there in the evening.”

“Mr. Zhang, when you go, why don’t you send a message to the group?” Ling Duoduo asked.

She also joined the group because she felt that this mysterious, powerful tutor could help her greatly improve her learning of illusions.

Zhang Han nodded and left the cla.s.s.

It was OK to let them watch. After he showed his great strength, these young students from big backgrounds would obey him better. It matched his wish.

After leaving here, he went to the Incantation Department.

Mengmeng’s cla.s.s was practicing basic incantations on some mechanical specimens and simulated spiritual beasts at a huge playground.

Zhang Han stopped and watched for a while.

Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, Nina, and Felina were clumsily casting spells.

Their success rate was about one in dozens.

He couldn’t help but laugh.

It was very difficult to get to the door of incantations. If one learned the basics, it would have a dramatic leap in their strength. However, these were only basics. After they entered the door, it would be easy to learn some skills, but it would be even more difficult to become good at them.

After watching for a while, Zhang Han left. In the afternoon, Zi Yan, Zhou Fei, Liang Mengqi, and the others went shopping in the commercial city near the Senior Martial Arts Branch.

It was also one of the characteristics of the Dragnet Academy: the style of every commercial city and their focus on sales were different.

Therefore, it would take some time to do shopping there.
