"Dare to be late for my class? A 100-round squat road surrounds the field!" lord Yuan's orders were firm. The students who heard this were shocked. But they continue to carry out the punishment.
"One," Master Yuan drove while counting.
"The slow one will be added to his sentence" said Mr. Yuan.
"Two," he kept counting.
Wuzhou is the teacher's favorite genius son. He was never punished at all. Although the squat road was not too heavy, but his self-esteem was quite hit.
How can I join the fools and carry out the punishment? The person from this Shadow city was so arrogant, inner Wuzhou.
"Three," Master Yuan's voice was still firm.
Ling and Liam observed from within the classroom. Liam who saw this smiled happily. Finally someone can punish them all without fear of the threat of a big family.
"Don't you want to take a closer look?" liam asked still not averted his eyes.
"no need. I'm gonna go to bed. I suggest you don't get up from this chair" Ling warned. He took his bag as a pillow. Then quickly fall asleep.
"Four," Master Yuan was still counting. His voice was considered a lullaby for Ling.
Liam followed Ling to stay seated. After seeing the bell ringing, he had promised to believe whatever Ling said.
He also opened his book bored. He reread the notes about medicinal plants. This guy from Shadow City is great. Although he already knew about all these plants, but their explanation is more detailed. He would show this to his grandfather.
"Oh yes Ling. Grandpa said he didn't have any recovery potions. But he had ingredients that might be used to make the potion. My grandfather would make the potion himself but he still lacked one ingredient. I hope you can wait patiently. Grandpa is getting better. He can definitely finish the potion perfectly" Liam told the sleeping Ling.
Liam who did not hear Ling's reply turned to look at him. "God I forgot you were sleeping" said Liam. He continued reading his notes.
Liam's tail was again attracted to look towards Ling. He saw a thick book just lying down. The curious took the book slowly, afraid to wake Ling up.
The book is covered in bark. The color of the paper is pretty dull. When he opened the book, a hand stopped him.
"You won't understand. It's an ancient language" Ling pulled up his book and went back to sleep.
"Yes yes. Only you understand," said Liam still glancing at Ling.
"I don't understand either," Ling replied honestly, still putting her head to sleep.
Liam was silent. He didn't expect Ling to be this honest. He also did not understand the ancient language. He was no longer interested in the book. He just continued reading his notes.

"Master Yuan what is this?" an old man walked up to Master Yuan who was still calculating the punishment.
"Old Master Zhao," Master Yuan lowered his head respectfully. "I'm punishing those who are late to my class" replied Master Yuan.
"They are worthy. Finish immediately. I will check the potion test today," Old Master Zhao added. He was escorted by Master Yuan's guards to the room that had been prepared for him.
Shadow City was extremely powerful despite not focusing on cultivation. They are able to develop large businesses that are well-known abroad. Cultivation was also still used by large families. Already good at business, martial arts experts too.
People in Shadow City are indeed that great.
"One hundred," the squat road punishment has ended. All the students who were sentenced to death. Sweat as big as corn does not stop pouring. Their clothes are wet too.
"Change your clothes. It is very impolite to meet an elder under these circumstances," Lord Yuan ordered. The students also did not want to look bad when they met an important person from Shadow City.
They walked into the class. Their feet cannot support their own body weight. Thirst, fatigue and helplessness mixed into one. They were eager to lie down at this moment.

"Master please," Master Yuan let Old Master Zhao enter the room. The students look fresher now. The unpleasant smell had also changed into a fragrant smell.
"I am Old Master Zhao. I'm a potion expert from Shadow City. Today I will check your potion tests," Old Master Zhao introduced himself.
All eyes looked at him sparkling. They thought it would be great to have a relationship like Old Master Zhao. Because no one dared to offend the herbologists.
Except one person who's not interested. Handsome guy at the end of the left row.
Ling had already woken up from his sleep. He tidied up the book and his bag went back to its original place. He rubbed his slightly watery eyes after waking up. He looked at Old Master Zhao who was in front of the class. His eyes looked deeper. Then a warm smile formed on his lips. He turned his eyes out the window.
"Alright I'll start the examination," Old Master Zhao said.
"Well Old Master Zhao," the students replied in unison.
Liam glanced at Ling who was still staring out the window. He breathed heavily. Even he was not interested in a great person like Old Master Zhao.
"Ling, aren't you interested in this guy? He's one of the elders. His abilities may be greater than yours. Please watch him a little. If you can learn from him, you'll become even more powerful" Liam said.
"Thank you for your advice, Young Master Liam," Ling replied without turning his eyes away.
Liam breathed a rough sigh. He didn't know how Ling's mind was going.
"People who write seven or more of the correct types of drugs will pass this test. Everyone who graduates will get a star. Stars are collected to determine the winner at the end of the day" Mr Yuan said after some time.
"Sir, can the results be announced?" ask Mr. Yuan.
"Yes," Old Master Zhao replied briefly.
"Well, I'll read the results. There were five people who graduated today namely Su Qiang, Ye Xuang, Zhuo Liam, Luo Wuzhou, and Chen Ling. The person I mentioned by name please come forward" said Mr. Yuan.
Liam was still frozen in place. He really tried hard during the test. He did not expect to get satisfactory results.
"Ling I graduated! I graduated!" liam said excitedly to Ling.
"You deserve it" Ling smiled as he patted Liam on the shoulder.
