256: Let him have a good show

The weekend holiday naturally meant there was no need to go to school.

However, Gongye Shiyi still woke up very early. In his rented room, where not a single ray of sunlight could reach, he sat cross-legged and continued to practice the Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter.

He practiced like this until evening.

Except for eating, Gongye Shiyi had almost completely devoted himself to the practice of the Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter.

Under the skill effect of [Focus A], he seemed to have forgotten the passage of time, entering a state of intense concentration.

The circulation of the Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter also became faster and faster.

His proficiency increased with his practice, until the Summoner emitted a faint glow.

[Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter F Proficiency + 1]

[Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter F (Level 1)] Proficiency: 100 / 100

[Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter F (Level 1) → Dream Qi-Sensing Chapter F (Level 2) (Max Level)]

[Skill Learned: Normal Breathing F (Beginner)]

[Normal Breathing F (Beginner)] Proficiency 1 / 10

Gongye Shiyi felt as if the airways in his lungs had been cleared.

Every breath became extremely natural and efficient.

The Basic Breathing Technique also began to circulate freely, automatically operating with every breath he took.

In this state, he could feel his body becoming lighter and more powerful, and his vision of the surroundings became clearer.

In this state, even if he did not actively practice the Basic Breathing Technique, his body's automatic breathing would continuously circulate and accumulate proficiency.

Gongye Shiyi liked this feeling of easily perceiving his body improving bit by bit.

This feeling was very solid.

However, the Basic Breathing Technique only provided a pitiful 1 point of Constitution at the second level.

His [Machinist] exhausted stamina at a terrifying rate; likely only the massive amount of Constitution provided by practicing the Mian Yu Technique could satisfy the stamina consumption of [Machinist].

Having accepted the power of the Summoner, he had to shoulder the responsibility.

Monsters could appear at any time, and there wasn't much time left for Gongye Shiyi to train.

Early the next morning, Gongye Shiyi, who was in the middle of training, was interrupted by a knock on the door.

He got up, approached the door, and peered through the peephole, only to discover that standing outside was...

Xu Xuli.

That admirable young principal who had dedicated his life to teaching.

This principal had found his new place again.

Gongye Shiyi opened the door.

"Student Gongye, regarding your lack of cooperation in class and repeated truancy last week, I think..."

"A home visit is necessary."

"After all, I am your principal."

"And my teaching philosophy is."

"To never give up on any student."

That afternoon, dirty water was poured in front of Gongye Shiyi's door, and graffiti was smeared on it.

That evening, the final night of the weekend holiday before Monday, Gongye Shiyi dragged his suitcase and carried his backpack, moving house once again.

He turned his head to look at the apartment building behind him.

"It won't be long now, Mr. Principal."

As the fourth-generation Armor Summoner, Gongye Shiyi would not allow himself to carry the burden of a dirty and dark past.

Therefore, before dealing with the monsters, he had to deal with the monster in his past—Xu Xuli.

It wasn't just Xu Xuli.

He was going to drag out all the filth behind Xu Xuli.

Is this revenge?

This is revenge.

Monday morning.

Because he hadn't found a suitable short-term rental, Gongye Shiyi had checked into a hotel the previous night.

Returning to school in the morning, Gongye Shiyi found a letter titled "A Letter to All Students" placed on his desk.

Gongye Shiyi read it through, and the content was as follows.

The new principal, Xu Xuli, had been named an Outstanding Youth of Haizhou City, a Model of Civilized Schools, a New Era Educator, and the youngest principal.

Relevant television stations from Haizhou City would be coming to the school on Wednesday to conduct an interview.

Principal Xu would need to give a speech in the assembly hall, which would be broadcast live on television.

All teachers and students would be required to attend the speech in the assembly hall.

This was probably the path his family had paved for him.

In short, for the students, it could be summarized in one sentence...

No classes on Wednesday afternoon.

The entire morning, Gongye Shiyi listened to lectures while practicing the Basic Breathing Technique.

At noon, he went to the school's secret space to listen to Teacher Water Yu's teachings.

Teacher Water Yu enjoyed being called "Teacher" and spent every day very happily.

Except for...

"That bastard principal came to the office again today to harass Yu Lai. Damn it, I really want to punch him and give his butt a good kick."

"It's just a pity that I have to be busy with more important things recently."

Shui Yuqianxi complained to her two beloved disciples.

Luo Sha was practicing the Breathing Technique; her progress naturally couldn't compare to Gongye Shiyi, who possessed the Summoner, but compared to the average person, it was already very fast.

"...He has harassed me too."

Luo Sha suddenly said.

"That scum."

Mermaid Miss cursed again.

"Thinking about being in the same school as that scum of a principal and breathing the same air makes Yu Lai feel so disgusted that I can't sleep."

"So..."

"Yu Lai has a good card."

Shui Yuqianxi pulled a card from her card storage device; it was [Potion F].

"Gongye Shiyi, I know you don't want others' help, but..."

"This card was passed from the first generation to the second, and then to me."

"It counts as one of the powers passed down through the Summoner."

"Since you have shouldered the responsibility of the Summoner and accepted the recognition of the Summoner, I am passing this card on to you."

"It doesn't count as helping you."

"You can use the power of this card to expose that scum's true colors."

"After all, letting such a dirty thing remain at the school will only lead to more people suffering."

Shui Yuqianxi placed the card on the table and pushed it toward Gongye Shiyi.

"This Wednesday, that scum's speech on stage—you two should both be aware of it, right?"

"That will be a live television broadcast; it's a rare and excellent opportunity."

"The truth serum on this card can be used right then and there to completely expose that scum's true colors."

Shui Yuqianxi's eyes lit up, and she spoke with great enthusiasm.

Luo Sha listened, her expression cold, but her eyes seemed to reveal a look of anticipation.

"Listen to Yu Lai; you should secretly inject the potion and then rush onto the stage."

"At that time, everything you ask, he will uncontrollably answer with the truth."

"No, that's still too reckless. This abnormal state would easily make others suspect you have special abilities, and your identity might be questioned... Let me think..."

"Yu Lai remembers there being a Q&A session with reporters."

"You can knock out a reporter and disguise yourself as one to ask the question!"

The third-generation Armor Summoner, Shui Yuqianxi, of the Mermaid race, was filled with righteous indignation.

"Luo Sha, you keep watch for little Shiyi and cooperate with his actions."

"Since that scum likes to be in the spotlight, let's let him have his fill of it this time!"

"Yu Lai will be in the best viewing seat, watching this scum perform, and recording it with a high-definition camera!"

Shui Yuqianxi loved this kind of entertainment.

"Okay."

Luo Sha also nodded in agreement.

Gongye Shiyi silently put away the [Potion F] on the table.
