The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 434 - 204: Red Flame Tiger’s Ascending Evolution_1

The Head of the Canghai Pavilion, Du Yuanjia, and the Head of the Tianyafu Residence, Qingyi hastily set off for the Imperial City of the Blue Frog Kingdom overnight.

Before their departure, they issued instructions for the deputy deans, who were the key figures, not to venture out to hunt unless necessary. Their presence was needed to stabilize the academy and reassure people.

However, the terrible news of the King’s death spread throughout every street and alley within two days.

This was even more terrifying than the assassination attempt on the Canghai Pavilion. Everyone who heard the news was stunned and then filled with fear.

— He was the King!

The King of a country!

He was the favorite son of Emperor Tang’s third son, and Emperor Tang’s grandson, under whose reign the tens of millions of the people of Blue Frog Kingdom have thrived for over a hundred years!

Now he has... been murdered?!

If even the king of a country cannot secure their life, how can ordinary citizens and lesser nobility ensure their safety?

If war indeed breaks out, will everyone have to live a life of displacement and fugitiveness? Panicking and starving all day, always worrying about surviving?

Students, assistants, mentors, staff... were all in a state of chaos.

No one anticipated this situation. It was a calamity from the sky that both infuriated and worried people.

"Order everyone to mobilize all of the ’Therapists’, ’Singers’, ’Commentators’, ’Lecturers’... every patron who possesses verbal or mental ability, regardless of whether they are students or mentors, should be dispatched to nearby towns immediately to assist local defenders in soothing the local populace’s anxiety."

"The war has not yet broken out, and before the dean returns, as part of the top academy, we should contribute our strength. We mustn’t succumb to chaos and allow unrest to spread."

At the joint meeting of the North and South campuses of Canghai Pavilion, apart from Array Master Pan Zhong who was focusing on reinforcing the academy’s formation and was not present, the other four deputy deans were all present.

The person speaking was Bian Haoran, and the three people around him were Yue Yingshu, Sun Lin, and Qin Quan.

All of these people were rarely seen together, but now they were gathered in a place big enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and every seat was taken.

"Master Han, concerning the murder of the King and the growing unrest in the Blue Frog Kingdom, do you have any suggestions?"

As the meeting was coming to a close, Bian Haoran suddenly asked.

Judging by his solemn expression, this question was clearly unrelated to any trivial matter. Unless he fully recognized Lord Han’s abilities and had high hopes for him, he would not have asked such a question.

"I am not the one in power and therefore cannot give decisive advice."

"However, with the downfall of a king, the probability of avoiding war is high. At this time, instead of speculating blindly and living in constant fear, it would be better to focus on improving our strength. This is indispensable in the defense of our homeland."

"I suggest that we cancel the regular curriculum from now on and focus on team cooperation and battlefield hunting. Skills like self-protection for the weak, enemy killing for the strong, and cooperation within teams... these practical skills need to be enhanced and reinforced."

Ye Hanjun stood up, speaking casually.

After he took his seat, Bian Haoran fell into deep thought.

The only female amongst the five deputy deans, Sun Lin, was the first to express her support:

"From today on, the academy should distribute some free resources, giving priority to students and mentors who are on the verge of breakthrough, sparing no effort to help enhance their strength."

"We must prepare for the worst. When the war really breaks out and our homes and nation face challenges, we must introspect and decide whether we choose to live on bended knees or die standing. Once a decision is made, we must march forward without looking back."

...

After the meeting, Ye Hanjun had a big task at hand.

Because of his high reputation now, none of Ji Yan, NanHua Qiu, Qian Xiaochuan, or Wang Lin, the four veteran star mentors could match him.

With the universal expectation, Ye Hanjun agreed to teach the course "Under the War" every morning from 7 to 10 in the museum of ten thousand people.

The course mainly includes large-scale team operations, different rights, different grades, and different enemies. It teaches what strategies, tactics, and combinations should be adopted.

This was a grand claim. Even the deputy deans had never experienced a real war. For them to teach such courses, it would often be fragmented and improvised.

But since Lord Han said he could offer some insights, considering his past achievements and battle results, even if some people doubted him, they did not raise their concerns on the spot. Instead, they waited until after tomorrow’s class to listen and discern the truth before reaching the final conclusion.

However...the class was a huge hit!

Ye Hanjun did not teach any groundbreaking knowledge, all he did was systematically explain the most basic war strategy.

Most of the content apart from killing the enemy was about self-preservation. It was very practical, so how could the students not welcome it?

A little fermentation, by the third day, under strong recommendation from the Tianyafu Residence, a Deputy Dean who mastered "Earth Magician Hands" built a larger conference hall with his earth attributed Wheel of Life Embryo, which could accommodate thirty thousand people.

Then, more than 60% of the students in the Tianyafu Residence permanently stayed at Canghai Pavilion.

They got up early every day, rushed to the new conference hall together, and participated in the "Under the War" class together.

Master Han ── he single-handily became the ace of both campuses, became the first ever superstar mentor in the history of Canghai Pavilion, who was popular in both the northern and southern campuses and the Tianyafu Residence, and received respect and love wherever he went.

...

In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and each day was very fulfilling for Ye Hanjun.

He used the morning to teach. Although each student could offer him far fewer experience points than his disciples, the accumulated number of students was still a considerable reward. The "Instructor" was steadily developing.
