CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 140: WEAK ATTACK AND FRAGILE AS HELL_4

"As for Wuda and Bwu, they don’t even have mentors. Martial Artists of the amplification department, like some departments in Divine Land, are known to people, but few have actually seen them."

Mu Cheng explained.

"Does Mentor Sima Lingling know the Resurrection Technique?"

Su Yue asked with a straight face.

"Do you really think you’re playing a game?

"If the Resurrection Technique really existed, the amplification department would definitely be the hottest faction. How could it have fallen to this point? Fool!

"In fact, the decline of the amplification department was inevitable. No one can stop it. The amplification department has already been canceled in both Eastern Martial and Nanwu, and in West Martial, once Mentor Sima Lingling retires, it will become extinct."

The Priest rolled his eyes at Su Yue.

"Even if it can’t resurrect, amplifying attack power, defense, and speed is still quite impressive, right? Divine Land should support it."

Su Yue thought for a moment and said.

"First, all the battle techniques of the amplification department are extraordinary techniques, which can’t be widely spread and can only be passed on through Qi Blood. When mentors teach them, they will expend a huge amount of effort.

"Second, to use the battle techniques of the amplification department requires extremely high comprehension. Although the number of bone washings doesn’t absolutely represent comprehension, historically speaking, those who can wash bones indeed have higher comprehension than ordinary Martial Artists.

"So, to cultivate the Priest department, the minimum requirement is a Gold Bone Elephant. Otherwise, if the mentor expends effort and the Martial Artist can’t understand it, it would be a waste.

"Third, amplification Martial Artists generally stay in the rear of the battlefield, and their speed can’t be fast, requiring protection as well. Long ago, Earth Martial Artists were always in a defensive posture, and amplification Martial Artists could hide among the crowd, sort of fighting on home ground.

"But now, fortresses have been built on every battlefield, and human Martial Artists charge frequently, so amplification Martial Artists can’t keep up with the pace.

"Fourth, amplification Martial Artists find it difficult to earn military merits. These people can’t be injured, and because they are too precious, they need to be protected and escape first.

"You are a Bone-Washing Martial Artist, and your family must have high hopes for you to stand out and make achievements.

"But after becoming a support Martial Artist, you’ll only hide your abilities, unable to gain military merits, and the difficulty of cultivating amplification battle techniques is double that of ordinary sword techniques. Having achieved the Gold Bone Elephant with great effort, are you willing?"

Mu Cheng retorted.

Su Yue sighed.

Indeed.

To become a Gold Bone Elephant requires immense determination. Students who can endure at 20 cards without sealing their rank all have grand aspirations.

How could such people be willing to be Priests?

"Also, as of now, Divine Land doesn’t have any group amplification battle techniques, they can only amplify one person individually.

"Think about it, how much Qi Blood does a single Martial Artist have? How many people can he enhance? Moreover, the effect duration won’t last long.

"Theoretically, the limit of enhancement is surpassing three tiers, but it only applies to Martial Artists below the fifth rank. Although the effect can also be applied to a Grandmaster, with a Grandmaster’s Qi Blood volume, it usually has no effect.

"Quite useless, right."

Mu Cheng also sighed.

In fact, many people feel that the amplification department should have been canceled long ago.

But after all, West Martial is one of the four major institutions, keeping it is considered a form of heritage.

It even seems more like a tribute to history.

"Sigh, indeed, survival is very cruel.

"Species that don’t get passed down aren’t absent, they just didn’t adapt to the environment and got eliminated."

Su Yue sighed.

You are a Priest.

Lacking the ability to add buffs to groups.

You can’t resurrect.

While you’re slow, you’re as fragile as paper.

More importantly, the difficulty of learning skills is double that of other departments, ineffective on Grandmasters.

If not you, then who gets eliminated?

Oh.

Wait a second.

The curse assault by that crowd in the nursing home seems similar to amplification battle techniques.

Both are extraordinary techniques.

Both can be executed silently, without any medium, just need to touch the opponent’s Qi Blood.

Both equally consume Qi Blood, equally cost-inefficient.

Of course, equally on the verge of elimination.

Sigh.

A sad story.

Su Yue then looked at the top-ranked mentor.

Xiang Jing Mountain.

This mentor is also the vice-principal of West Martial.

"Senior, what do you think of Mentor Xiang Jing Mountain?"

Su Yue asked again.

Based on his performance at the freshman conference, no mentor should refuse him.

"Oh, he’s quite formidable... No doubt, Mentor Xiang Jing Mountain has the most resources at hand, and he has many friends in the Yan Gui Corps. Students are relatively safe in the Mist Realm, and sometimes, for missions that earn military merit, Xiang Jing Mountain is also partial to his students.

"Of course, excellent mentors come with some minor defects, like having a big temper, being stubborn, demanding 100% obedience from students, and strict discipline, among others."

Mu Cheng glanced at Su Yue.

It’s quite normal.

Based on Su Yue’s circumstances, he inevitably has to choose the strongest mentor.

"What about the third-ranked mentor?"

Su Yue asked again.

This mentor also trained a fifth-ranked graduate, but unfortunately, his performance is too skewed, the rest are all third-ranked.

This leaves people puzzled about his pattern.

"This one you don’t need to consider. If it weren’t for that fifth-ranked graduate, he’d be second-to-last.

"That fifth-ranked graduate is the grandson of a Vice Admiral in the Yan Gui Corps. He spent less than five months at West Martial, and back then, he casually picked a mentor who didn’t care about things, to make it convenient.

"This mentor is ranked third purely because of luck."

Mu Cheng reminded.

"I see."

Su Yue nodded.

To become a winner in life is also an achievement.

He suddenly felt melancholic.

Who should he choose?

Xiang Jing Mountain, while the strongest, is clearly not suitable.

He also can’t stand too many rules.

The second-ranked mentor, reportedly, has a lot going on, even having students pick up his kids from kindergarten, unbelievable.

The third-ranked one isn’t suitable.

The following mentors aren’t fundamentally different from the third one.

The last one, Sima Lingling... better not mention it.

"Senior, do you have any suggestions?"

Su Yue asked again.

"If you are relatively obedient, choose Xiang Jing Mountain, he’s strict and has many rules. But as the Vice Principal, he’s also the Teach Director for your freshmen class, and he has the most resources.

"If you have the ability to find resources on your own, you can also choose the third-ranked mentor. He’s infamous for being irresponsible, you could die and he wouldn’t know your name.

"Based on your situation, I suggest you choose between these two extremes."

Mu Cheng gave Su Yue a sarcastic look.

Given how strong you are, you surely have resources.

The probability of being restrained is low.

The Vice Principal just loves to control people, and it’s too much trouble.

"I’ll think about it some more."

Su Yue’s indecisiveness kicked in again.

"Tomorrow is the day to choose a mentor, you’d better think quickly. Others who want to join Xiang Jing Mountain’s class have to compete for it."

Mu Cheng reminded.

"Got it."

Su Yue nodded.

"By the way, this flower hasn’t bloomed, help me with it."

Mu Cheng suddenly took out a pink bud.

...

Su Yue and Mu Cheng sat on the bench on the playground, the sky had turned dark.

In the distance, many sophomore and junior students pointed and whispered, and even senior students frowned.

This isn’t normal.

Mu Cheng and this freshman sat together for so long, what were they doing?

Siblings?

Impossible.

Are they dating?

That’s scary.

It’s known that Mu Cheng always keeps people at a distance, and when talking to boys, she generally keeps a distance.

But sitting with that kid, looking at a phone together, they were too close.

Jealousy burned.

Especially among junior students.

It’s known, Mu Cheng is their goddess.

This new kid, unforgivable.

"Wow, impressive, this Su Yue, so impressive, how did he get so close to Mu Cheng."

Bai Xiaolong and a few student council members also passed by inadvertently.

"Look... that kid Su Yue, actually giving Mu Cheng a flower...

"Gosh, the Vice President took it and put it on her shoulder... my god, is this a confession?"

A student’s face turned white.

Wang Quanxing and Zhang Siqi were also behind Bai Xiaolong, witnessing the scene as well.

Wang Quanxing was full of envy.

Zhang Siqi felt even more sour inside.

So Su Yue’s target... is Mu Cheng.

...

"Extraordinary Bone Elephant, really impressive."

Mu Cheng, having placed the flower, thanked him.

"If I have the chance, I’ll make flowers bloom for you for a lifetime."

Su Yue suddenly chuckled.

Mu Cheng rolled her eyes at Su Yue and turned to leave.

"Oh, didn’t you say you wanted to break through to Grandmaster before graduating from Wuda?"

Suddenly, Mu Cheng paused.

After her words, she sped away.
