Chapter 514: Chapter 306: To Continue the Lost Teachings of Past Sages (Part 4)

Wang Haokun hesitated for a moment before looking up. "Teacher, the sand wolf also excels at Control Field, and on top of that, it’s more aggressive. I judged from the situation that continuing the stalemate would be disadvantageous, so I had Cyan change its tactics..."

Lei Ji demanded, "What gave you the right to make that call? Yes, the sand wolf is more aggressive, but its endurance is relatively weak. All you had to do was withstand its assault and drag the fight out. Victory would have been guaranteed!"

Wang Haokun looked troubled. "Cyan was really struggling. I was worried it couldn’t hold on..."

Lei Ji cut him off impatiently. "There you go again with ’I was worried’! Who’s the expert on Beast Taming here, you or me?"

Wang Haokun opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Finally, he lowered his head. "...You are."

"Then don’t question my decisions and strategies. There’s nothing wrong with my tactics. When a Pet Beast whines, it’s just looking for sympathy. It’s nowhere near its actual limit, so don’t fall for that kind of feedback. Stick to the plan, and there won’t be any issues."

Lei Ji clasped his hands behind his back. "We have to adjust our strategy from now on! This year’s national tournament has a quick-win bonus. If we can rank in the top three for total time, we’ll get extra points. That will make it easier for us to secure a spot in the national finals."

Chen Xinghao looked troubled. "Teacher, some Pet Beasts aren’t suited for rapid assaults..."

"You think I need you to tell me that?"

Lei Ji shot him a glare. "We have plenty of members in reserve, and no shortage of Pet Beasts that excel at rapid assaults. If some aren’t suited for it, then we’ll send in the ones that are!"

"But Teacher, the quick-win bonus is based on the combined total time. What about Huai City First Middle School? If they take a long time, it doesn’t matter how fast we are."

"Tch. I forgot about that bunch of deadweights."

Lei Ji frowned. "I’ll have a word with Zhou Shengfa. Tell him to get his students to fight more cleanly and cooperate with us. But even then... Ugh, what a headache. I said from the beginning they should have just let us handle everything..."

"Teacher Lei, there’s no need for a headache, because the team from Huai City First Middle School will not be cooperating with you."

A familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Lei Ji froze. A few bad memories subconsciously surfaced as he turned to look.

Sure enough, it was Su Zhi.

He didn’t look angry or self-righteous in the slightest. Quite the opposite, in fact. His eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake, yet they projected an air of someone not to be trifled with.

He stood in the doorway, head slightly bowed, and spoke in a calm voice. "My team will continue with today’s strategy. We will focus on our own performance and fight in our own style, rather than blindly chasing a quick victory. I would also advise your school not to fall into the quick-win trap."

Lei Ji’s face immediately darkened. He gave a cold smirk. "Just to spite us? Is this what Zhou Shengfa’s students are like? No sense of the bigger picture."

"No. I’m simply stating the facts. There’s no need to blow this out of proportion. Whether you agree with it or not is your own business."

Su Zhi remained calm.

"Furthermore, I suggest you watch your attitude, Teacher Lei. Mind your words and actions. Teacher Zhou has always been polite and restrained with you, but that doesn’t give you the right to take a mile when given an inch. I’d better not see any more of your disrespectful behavior."

Lei Ji raised an eyebrow. "Are you lecturing me?"

"It’s a warning."

Su Zhi lifted his head, his eyes suddenly flashing with a killing intent that was completely at odds with his age.

It was the kind of killing aura possessed only by a Warrior who had survived life-or-death struggles under the claws of the most vicious foes. Su Zhi had once fought side-by-side with a classical master in a Secret Realm, a true brother-in-arms forged in blood. His mindset was now worlds apart from that of his peers!

Lei Ji instinctively took a step back, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

"It is true that Shanda University Affiliated School is stronger than Huai First Middle School. But from five paces, my own neck’s blood is more than enough to spatter you, Teacher."

Su Zhi said, enunciating every word.

"This is yours. Keep it safe. Don’t lose it again." Then, he tossed the Wooden Token to Wang Haokun, turned, and left.

Wang Haokun caught it, then glanced in surprise at his own backpack. The red cord that had held the Wooden Token was broken.

[For Past Sages, Continue Lost Teachings]

Looking at the six words on the Wooden Token, Wang Haokun clenched his fists, a feeling suddenly washing over him that was worse than being scolded.
