The crafts division was set up mimicking a learning institution. The way it operated was also similar in style.
Therefore, the pupils under this path never simply research and study themselves. Instead, they attend classes and have discussions with the teachers.
Especially those who are just accepted into this path, they have to attend classes and never should skip one.
Because there are less pupils in professions compared to cultivation, there were only two new students this year.
One of them was the very strange Xiang Ru Gu, the other was Ling Xian.
However, there were a lot of older students who never passed their year. So, they were forced to remain a level lower and to practice with the new pupils.
This was why by the time Ling Xian and Xiang Ru Gu arrived in the classroom, they found the class to be full of people. Roughly estimating, there were around 20 people.
These people were all around 20 years old. All of them were sitting tightly in their seats, looking serious.
Perhaps this was caused by the woman’s intimidation up the stage. Or else all of these people would be behaving like hoodlums.
The woman on the lecture stand was wearing all white, similar to a pure and fluffy snowflake. It was hard for anyone to shift their gazes away from her.
She had a delicate visage, a very curvy chest, a tiny waist, and thin long legs. Everything about her was fatal and alluring, particularly her enthusiastic and spiritual temperament. It made everyone’s heart thump.
At the very least, all the older and repeating students were completely enticed by her. Though they all looked rather serious, their eyes were full of passion.
This was normal. If nobody loved and lusted after this beauty, then she wouldn’t be known as one.

Dong Fang Yu, a professor for the first year. Legend has it that she is only 20 something years old but extremely talented with crafts.
Xiang Ru Gu mumbled to herself. It was for sure if she was speaking to herself or to Ling Xian.

If she is merely a vase without real capabilities, the crafts elders wouldn’t let her be a teacher.
Ling Xian smiled, marched on, and sat at one of the seats in the last row.
Seeing this, Xiang Ru Gu also came to the last row but didn’t sit beside Ling Xian.

Is that the strange Heaven’s Favorite who rejected all four peak leaders and chose the Path of Crafts?
Xi Dong Yu’s lips curled up into a faint smile. She was very curious about Ling Xian.
By now, everything about him was now widely known in the Shang Qing Sect.
First, he was tested to have Royal Leveled talent, then he fought against thousands solo and won it. His capabilities were known to be extremely insane. Of course, this news alone wasn’t enough to be passed around the Shang Qing Sect. What the elder leveled leaders were more interested in, was how he rejected the four peak leaders.
What kind of people were the four peak leaders?
They were people with power in the Shang Qing Sect. In the entire Yuezhou, they were famous and capable. For those four to personally visit and ask him to join their peaks, who would reject? Who dared to reject?
Yet Ling Xian had declined. Ignoring all other things, this courage alone wasn’t something normal people could match up to.
Plus, he didn’t even consider how talented he was with cultivation before choosing the Path of Crafts. This made everyone even more intrigued.
At the very least, Dong Fang Yu was interested in Ling Xian. She found him to have a very rough personality and was someone fascinating.

What an interesting character. Let me see just why you chose the Path of Crafts.

Whispering, Dong Fang Yu’s beautiful face turned serious in a second and said in a cold voice,
Everyone, from today on, I will be your teacher. In my class, you better be serious, or else I will not let you go easily.

Just then, other than Ling Xian and Xiang Ru Gu, everyone else shuddered. It was obvious that they’d heard things about this beautiful professor.
Because Dong Fang Yu had a beautiful visage, a strong background, and an extraordinary capability, she was very famous here. Some other teachers and pupils had been treating her like she was a goddess. There were countless men pursuing after her, however, after so many years, nobody had yet succeeded.
Legend had it that it was because her personality was far too strong. Though she looked like a goddess, she was actually a devil. Especially towards students, she was very cruel.
The ones she had hurt in the past had given her a nickname, the Devil from the East.
Therefore, after hearing what Dong Fang Yu had said, all those repeating students shuddered.

Alright, the class starts now.
Dong Fang Yu smiled in satisfaction. Her lips parted slightly as she began to explain concepts of her first class.
First-year classes literally start from the beginning – from the fundamentals of craftsmanship. Therefore, everything she was teaching was the very basics of craftsmanship.
At first, Ling Xian was really into it. Because these basics weren’t recorded in the Immortal of Crafts’ inheritance. After all, it was the inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts. It was obvious very high level and why would it ever explain these basic concepts?
Therefore, he was really into Dong Fang Yu’s lecture and was very focused.
However, as time went on, he began to frown. Because he realized how these fundamentals were utterly useless to him.
Don’t forget, he was already a Ninth Realm Craftsman as of today. His knowledge with crafts was already very competent, especially with the ways to create crafts.
To give a simple example – it was like someone had already learned an unparalleled technique. Is there then a need to learn a low-level ninth realm technique?
It was utterly unnecessary.
From a certain point of views, fundamentals were the most important aspects and were something all craftsmen were required to learn. However, there is an exception to everything. Ling Xian was that exception.
With the inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts, what he received right off the bat was an extremely profound level of knowledge. It wasn’t a traditional education.
It was like teaching someone how to crawl when he already knows how to run, more than that, he knows how to run steadily. From this and the fact that he was able to transform to a Ninth Realm Craftsman, it was obvious that this education method was not working.
What Dong Fang Yu was teaching wasn’t wrong either. However, she was teaching someone how to crawl first, then how to walk, before finally teaching them how to run. Yet Ling Xian already knew how to run. Was it really necessary for him to learn how to run?
If he couldn’t run steadily, then, of course, he should study. But he was running very steadily. If he still went back and tried to learn, then it would be utterly meaningless.
Therefore, after Ling Xian realized that what Dong Fang Yu was teaching was utterly useless to him, he collapsed on top of the table and fell asleep.
Of course, it was fake sleeping. He was actually enlightening himself and was continuing to study the inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts.
But this scene, before everyone else, was that he was full of sleeping.
This made everyone at the scene widen their eyes in surprise.
Sleeping?
Someone dares to sleep on the Devil from the East’s class?
Everyone was watching with their eyes and lips wide open, as they could not believe what was happening was real. To know that Dong Fang Yu was known to be very ruthless. Even other teachers treated her with the utmost respect and nobody dared to provoke her.
Yet before everyone’s eyes, even after Dong Fang Yu asked everyone to treat her class seriously, Ling Xian dared to lie in his arms and fall asleep. Why wouldn’t everyone be shocked?
Even Dong Fang Yu was stunned at this. She had been teaching for a few years now. In the beginning, there were some people who dared to daydream in her classes. However, after her cruel methods of teaching, nobody had the guts to do that anymore.
Yet at this moment, a new student had ignored what she had said. What was this?
He was publically provoking her!
Yes, to the public, and to Dong Fang Yu, this student was overstepping her power!
Therefore, this beautiful crafts teacher was angered.

Xian Ling, stand up right now!

After a loud shout, Dong Fang Yu’s expression was dark and a flame of anger was brewing inside her heart.

Eh?

Hearing Dong Fang Yu’s angry shout, Ling Xian exited out of his enlightenment zone. He couldn’t help but frown because he didn’t know what caused this beauty of a professor to be so angry.

You, Xian Ling, you sure have an edgy personality. You dare to sleep in my class.
Dong Fang Yu’s chest was heaving up and down from anger. They were aggressive and grand.

Oh, so it’s because of that.
Ling Xian realized. After recalling what Dong Fang Yu said before class, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Honestly speaking, it was wrong for him to sleep during class. But he truly felt like what Dong Fang Yu was teaching was useless to him. Listening further was a waste of time.
Therefore, he chose to use this time to enlighten himself with the Immortal’s inheritance. This was not wrong.

I already told you that you need to pay attention in my class. Yet you still dare to sleep. Are you challenging me and my position?

Dong Fang Yu’s face was heavy like water. She snickered,
I don’t care what you are thinking of, if you are in my class, you must adhere to my rules. Or else I guarantee you that things won’t end pretty.

Ling Xian frowned, not happy at this.
If what Dong Fang Yu was teaching was useful to him, he would listen carefully. But her teaching was utterly useless to him, why wasn’t he allowed to spend the time learning something useful?
Therefore, he didn’t react much but said something that enraged Dong Fang Yu.

I think what you are teaching me is completely useless. So I don’t want to waste my time. I am currently trying to comprehend information that can help me grow.

Hearing this, everyone was once again stunned.
Completely useless?
What the heck! Not only did you ignore the Devil from the East’s power, but you were also now questioning her abilities. Just how gutsy were you?
Everyone was now speechless. They were now staring at Ling Xian with pity in their eyes as if looking at a dead man.
They all shared the same thought. They thought he was dead meat today for sure.

Well, well, well.

Dong Fang Yu said
well
three times. She clenched her teeth, her chest rose and fell down quickly. She was almost fainting from anger.
One should know that she was a teacher in the Path of Crafts and was extraordinary with craftsmanship. What she was the proudest of was also her knowledge with crafts. Yet here, Ling Xian was questioning her abilities. Why wouldn’t she be furious?
So he overstepped her position… maybe she could forgive that for now and deal with it later. But to publically question her abilities wasn’t something she could bear.

You dare to question my knowledge with crafts? Xian Ling, you sure have guts!

Dong Fang Yu’s expression remained heavy as she stared deadly at Ling Xian as if she was about to spew fire.

I am not questioning. I just think what you were talking about is useless to me.
Ling Xian smiled, there was no fear on his handsome face.

There is no difference.

Dong Fang Yu snickered,
So you are questioning my abilities? Then I will give you a chance. If you can answer my question, then I will forgive and forget everything that happened today.

Ling Xian frowned slightly, knowing that if he couldn’t prove himself, then he wouldn’t be able to make it through today.
Then, he revealed a soft grin and spoke a word softly that made everyone’s blood boil.

Please.
