Chapter 56: A stumbling block?

When Zhou Qiang arrived at Su Guodong’s house, it was already past ten o’clock. Su Guodong, relying on the two million he earned from selling his daughter, had gained some confidence in front of his new lover, Chen Lan.

Therefore, even if he couldn’t ultimately get Chen Lan’s son to be with Su Mengli, he still lived together with Chen Lan’s family.

At this moment, it was already past ten o’clock, and Chen Lan’s son was already asleep. Although Su Guodong and Chen Lan were not young anymore, they hadn’t been together for a long time, so they were both looking forward to their intimate life.

In the quiet night, Su Guodong, still full of vigor, was preparing to take action. But in the next second, he was stunned.

He saw that the fair and plump Chen Lan had turned into a terrifying skeleton, just like the White Bone Spirit in Journey to the West, with a body full of white bones and no trace of flesh.

Su Guodong was startled and fell off the bed, exclaiming, “Ghost!”

Chen Lan didn’t know what had happened. In her eyes, Su Guodong was preparing to get intimate with her, but suddenly he fell off the bed and called her a ghost. This made her quite angry.

Chen Lan directly grabbed a pillow and smashed it onto Su Guodong, cursing, “You useless bastard!”

The next day, at the Awakening Academy in the Magic City, in the cultivation room, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were practicing diligently. Ye Xuan didn’t know that Su Mengli had made an agreement with Lin Xu.

If their cultivation efficiency together was lower than when they practiced alone, they would focus on individual cultivation in the future to avoid distractions.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had already activated the Dual Cultivation Card. Under the effect of the Dual Cultivation Card, both Ye Xuan and Su Mengli could feel that the speed at which they absorbed spiritual energy was much faster than when they practiced alone.

Su Mengli naturally didn’t know about the existence of the Dual Cultivation Card. She thought that this was the power of love, which was good news.

After today’s cultivation session, she could confidently tell Dean Lin that her progress was faster with Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan wouldn’t slow down her progress, but would only make her cultivation more efficient!

Ye Xuan also felt the same. Normally, it would take him about half a month to increase his spiritual power development by one percent. But with Su Mengli, seven days would be enough. By then, the Dual Cultivation Card would have expired.

Of course, Su Mengli’s cultivation progress was not as fast as Ye Xuan’s. After all, she had the SSS-class Red Flame Lotus, which had a high upper limit and naturally grew slower.

Yesterday, Su Mengli finished her cultivation for the day and immediately underwent a test in the research room. After completing her cultivation, her ability development increased from 1.002 to 1.013.

At this rate, Su Mengli could only increase her ability development by one percent every hundred days. Moreover, the higher the ability development, the more difficult it would be to improve in the later stages.

No wonder in her previous life, even with the support of national resources, Su Mengli’s ability development did not exceed 90.

The fulfilling day quickly passed. After the cultivation session, the students gathered together again. Zhou Qiang had also returned, and he said to the students, “Everyone, today we have two new teachers in our academy. Let’s welcome them.”

Then, the students began to applaud, and two tall figures appeared in their sight.

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were both shocked when they saw the two people. They knew them.

One was their middle school English teacher, Qi Yue, and the other was Ye Xuan’s sister, Ye Xue.

Then, Zhou Qiang continued, “This is Teacher Qi Yue. She will mainly help everyone solve any difficulties they encounter in life, especially for female students. If you have any difficulties, you can communicate with Teacher Qi. Let’s applaud!”

The students began to applaud, as the female students felt that it was indeed inconvenient to talk to male teachers about certain things. Having a female teacher was a good thing.

As for the male students, it was purely visual. They felt that Teacher Qi Yue should be called Qi Yourong instead of Qi Yue.

Such a teacher was very popular among male students. She had a good figure, was beautiful, and had the identity of a teacher. Qi Yue was not much less attractive to male students than Su Mengli.

Then, Zhou Qiang continued, “The other teacher is Teacher Ye Xue, a top-notch lawyer. From today onwards, she will be the legal advisor of our Awakening Academy.

As awakened individuals, you possess powers that surpass ordinary people. At this time, you must abide by the law even more.

Therefore, we have hired Teacher Ye Xue. If you have any legal questions, you can find her.”

Applause rang out again, but because Ye Xue was not as attractive as Teacher Qi Yue in terms of figure, the applause was slightly weaker.

Then, Ye Xue and Qi Yue greeted the students, and they got to know each other.

After Lin Xu finished introducing them, he said, “Alright, that’s it for today. Su Mengli, Ye Xuan, come with me to the research room.”

Ye Xue was originally about to leave, but when she heard Lin Xu’s words, she said, “Dean Lin, what’s the matter with my brother? Why don’t I join in the fun?”

Lin Xu smiled and said, “Of course, let’s go together.”

The reason why Zhou Qiang invited Ye Xue and Qi Yue was to make the relationship between Ye Xuan and Su Mengli less unbreakable.

Originally, the relationship between Ye Xuan and Su Mengli was too intimate, especially for Su Mengli, who didn’t have any other friends at the Magic City University. Ye Xuan was her only support, so it was strange if she didn’t cling to him.

After Zhou Qiang learned about Qi Yue and Ye Xue’s good relationship with Su Mengli in Jiangcheng, he directly transferred them over to give Su Mengli more close people around her and enough sense of security, so that Ye Xuan would no longer be so irreplaceable.

Soon, the group arrived at the research room. In the middle of the research room was a huge Awakening Spiritual Shere, which could directly test talents and even ability development.

Then, Lin Xu explained, “Teacher Ye, you are Ye Xuan’s sister, so I’ll be straightforward. Su Mengli’s talent far exceeds your imagination, and her growth rate even determines the fate of humanity.

Therefore, we need to ensure her cultivation efficiency. Yesterday, Su Mengli diligently cultivated alone for a day, and her ability development increased by 0.01.

Today, she is cultivating with Ye Xuan. We want to see how much her progress will be. If the efficiency is significantly lower than usual, she has already agreed to us that she will cultivate alone in the future. Can you understand, Teacher Ye?”

Ye Xue pursed her lips and said, “I understand. You think my brother is a burden and a stumbling block on Mengli’s path of growth, right?”

Lin Xu said calmly, “That will depend on the test results. Let’s speak with data.”

Ye Xue wanted to say something more, but Su Mengli said, “Sister, don’t worry. Ye Xuan is never a stumbling block. With him by my side, I will only get better.”

Saying that, Su Mengli walked towards the giant Awakening Spiritual Shere and placed her hands on it.
