It was May 20th, the fourth Tuesday after the start of the semester, and time for Ancient Relic's history class.
Outside the door, students saw a fatty walk in with a tough, stocky build before climbing onto the dais in Grade One, 1-B.
Ancient Relic rarely brought textbooks with him since he had the key points memorized.
Xero thought that in some sense, it was very hard for him to not use a textbook and at the same time still make an enjoyable sequence for everyone. In the whole entirety of No. 90 High School, Ancient Relic was an excellent example of this. Moreover, him without a textbook further tests his capabilities.
One weekend and one Monday had passed since the exchange meet. In a short four days, Ancient Relic's figure seemed to have expanded tremendously... the love affair between Ancient Relic and Director Yue of No. 89 High School was no longer a secret. Xero knew that Ancient Relic's way of showing his love, was taking her to eat out, while also eating.
Xero thought, that maybe it wasn't just Ancient Relic. Director Yue's form could've also underwent the same treatment if not less.
"Recently, a lot of things has happened. Has anyone heard of the organisation named Seraph Marrow?"
When Ancient Relic said this, the class burst into chattering. Obviously, after being exposed online, this pyramid scam scheme was putting huge concerns on authorities.
Ancient Relic's hand glowed with a spirit light and soon after, a tin can materialised and he placed it on the dais in front of him. "I bought this can of fake milk powder directly from Seraph Milk Powder. At that time, I strongly recommended to be an agent for them."
Lianhua couldn't help but raise her hand as she asked curiously, "Teacher, what happened then?"
"Then, well, I persuaded them to give me a dose without having to pay a single cent... after that, Seraph Milk Powder was done listening to my lecture and one of them even repented and turned away from the crimes!"
Hearing this, many students laughed as they thought Ancient Relic was talking smack as usual. But Misaki and Xero's hearts skipped a beat... back then, when he had mentioned that he could take out someone with a piece of chalk, no one believed him, and well... it happened!
Hence, it was very likely that this really did happen...
There clearly was another reason onto why Ancient Relic began this class with the matter of Seraph Marrow. After the lesson on "Reruns of Ancient Cultivation History and TV shows in YunzHou Nation" "The Modern Era and History of YunzHou Nation" was the most important component of the theory in history class, which Ancient Relic would definitely test them on the midterm and final exams since it covered about half the lessons.
He had used the situation with Seraph Marrow to pique their interest to pay attention.
When the class calmed down, everyone knew the real thing was about to begin...
"With the regard of the modern history of Yunzhou nation, we should start with the first Twin Dragon War, which was a catastrophic and shameful part of our national history." Ancient Relic couldn't help but sigh in the way he ended that sentence. "Back then, in order to defend the army led by Demon Monarch Xu Muyan, countless senior cultivators sacrificed their lives... perhaps some students are wondering why the war was called "Twin Dragon." Let me explain, twin dragon was apparently the name of a major drug with no origin that was found near Mount Vermilion. Apparently it was like orange rind. Long ago, people would smash it and roll it into a cigarette. Once you took a puff, you wouldn't be able to stop, and scientifically, your intelligence would decrease by eight percent."
All: "..."
"The most critical thing was that this addiction was really difficult to get rid of."
All: "..."
Ancient Relic smiled. "Back then, the Muyan army formed very quickly, much like the current Seraph Marrow. This is why the current government was concerned about the gang, as they are worried they followed the same policies as the Muyan army long ago. Although it's been proven that the substances in the milk powder was actually cocaine, it didn't really harm the body all that much. However, it was still vile for them to feed them to babies."
Everyone couldn't help nodding; students who had prepared for this lesson knew that back then, at the very beginning before the Muyan army's major rise, it had relied on the pyramid scheme in order to gain more members in a short period. It was just that, at that time, the version of their pyramid scheme wasn't all that outstanding and hadn't immediately caught Yunzhou nation's attention, and by the time the state reached, the situation was already irreversible.
According to Ancient Relic's teaching style, he would first go through the main framework of the topics before beginning the lesson.
"The Modern History of YunzHou Nation — On the first Twin Dragon War": this major historical incident started with Devil Monarch Xu Muyan peddling the orange rind drug though the pyramid scheme module. Ancient Relic had a deep understanding of this period in history, since it was national shame. Back then, foreigners had jokingly called it, "The Orange Peel Drug Era." Therefore, till this day, the theory of history class exams would always include this test point every year making the student remember the country's shame.
After quickly running through the cause of the Twin Dragon War, it was Ancient Relic's time for gossip, yet again.
This time, what he wanted to snicker about was Devil Monarch Xu Muyan.
"I wonder how much everyone knows about Devil Monarch Xu Muyan?" Ancient Relic asked this question as he stood on the dais.
Ancient Relic paused for a moment and after seeing the class go silent, he gave out his trademark smile. "This Devil Monarch was reputed to be immensely powerful. Take a simple example, there are records that our General Ying, one of the fifteen founding fathers of the nation, once fought Devil Monarch Xu Muyan. At that time, when the two clashed, Devil Monarch Xu Muyan held his ground while General Ying was forced ten consecutive steps back."
The whole class was in shock and admiration!
How powerful was General Ying?
"However, as far as I know, Devil Monarch Xu Muyan had indeed been injured back then and had been forcing himself to endure. And so, after the first Twin Dragon War, he vanished without leaving a dust of his form behind, and his whereabouts today are still unknown."
"Maybe he already died?" One student asked this and immediately other students interest was increased.
"Rumour has it that he's already dead. From the start to the end of the Second Twin Dragon War, command of his Muyan army had been succeeded by his personal disciple, Immortal Qi Muyan. But it has been very strange until now, there had been no news of Devil Monarch Xu Muyan's death. This makes me a little wary and suspicious… and I wonder whether this Immortal Qi Muyan had imprisoned this wounded shifu in order to seize his power…" Ancient Relic shared his thoughts.
Han Jue cried out in surprise, "Prison play?! F**king hell! Is Devil Monarch Xu Muyan a sadist?"
"A master and disciple couple is very much interesting!" Lianhua's face was filled with excitement as thoughts were filled with bl novels she read online with a similar plot.
"Of course, there is a more believable rumour that in order to escape his disciple's pursuit, Devil Monarch Xu Muyan sealed his own soul into a magical artefact that is yet to be found… which in legend, is a spirit mask."
When Ancient Relic said this, Xero, who was gazing out the window, suddenly turned his head to the teacher.
