"A disciple?" Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. "What do I get for becoming your disciple?"
Dean Xiao sighed helplessly at this scene, then said, "I still have some resources, and a few magic tools I used when I was young..."
"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!" Before Dean Xiao finished speaking, Wang Feng respectfully bowed, holding a bottle of [Kang Shi Fu] green tea as a Apprenticeship tea.
Dean Xiao's mouth twitched uncontrollably at Wang Feng's quick change of expression. He even began to doubt if he had taken the wrong disciple.
But since the words were out, there was no room for regret. He could only take the [Kang Shi Fu] green tea from Wang Feng's hand, symbolically take a sip, and then place the bottle on the table.
"Get up," Dean Xiao said helplessly.
"Yes, Master!" Wang Feng stood up straight, then looked at Dean Xiao expectantly. "Master, where's the initiation gift?"
"Ai~" Dean Xiao sighed helplessly, then took out a palm-sized armor from his spatial magic tool.
The armor was entirely light blue, like a sky-blue jade, emitting a soft luster.
"This is an armored magic tool I used when I was young, called 'Ocean Star.' It was primarily forged from a sub-monarch level rare material. Although it hasn't reached the Heaven-tier, it's considered top-tier among soul-tier magic tools," Dean Xiao explained.
Wang Feng's face immediately broke into a joyful smile upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Master!"
He took the Ocean Star from Dean Xiao's hand and unhesitatingly imprinted his spiritual mark on it. The next second, Ocean Star transformed into a stream of light, covering Wang Feng's body.
"Besides its powerful defense, this armored magic tool can also provide a basic amplification to the power of Water System magic, up to two times. Of course, this amplification is limited to High-tier and below Water System magic. Additionally, it can increase a mage's spiritual power by one level, though it can only amplify up to level six at most," Dean Xiao continued.
Wang Feng's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this. Magic tools that could amplify spiritual power were too rare.
In his impression, only Mo Fan's Black Dragon Suit in the later stages had the ability to directly increase spiritual power by one level.
Of course, the Black Dragon Suit's amplification was naturally unlimited; even at the ninth realm, it could directly amplify to the tenth realm!
"Master, are there any other good things?" Wang Feng licked his lips, his eyes full of anticipation, and asked again.
Dean Xiao's face darkened, and he glared at Wang Feng. "You brat, don't be too greedy! Do you really want to empty me out in one go?"
"Hehe, it's not that I want to embarrass you, old man. A disciple of the dignified Pearl Institute's Dean Xiao, going out without even a decent magic tool, that would make people laugh their teeth out!"
Dean Xiao pouted. Although he was reluctant, he still took out a sky-blue jade carving from his spatial magic tool and handed it to Wang Feng.
"This is a shield magic tool that combines offense and defense. When infused with magic energy, it can unleash a destructive magic power comparable to a High-tier single target spell. Additionally, it has a self-activating Water Curtain, which can save your life at critical moments," Dean Xiao explained.
"Thank you, Master!"
Wang Feng took the jade carving, revealing his pearly white teeth, smiling exceptionally brightly.
"However, you have to do me a favor!"
"Master, you're too polite. Can there be 'favors' between master and disciple? Just say it!" Wang Feng patted his chest, looking like he would not shirk his duty.
"Nine days from now, our Pearl Institute needs to send a team to Imperial Capital for an exchange. I hope you can lead the team!" Dean Xiao said seriously.
"Exchange... Master, won't that be too cruel? You know, I'm a High-tier mage!" Wang Feng raised an eyebrow.
"What are you saying! Our Pearl Institute is a very friendly institute. We're just going there to let them, Imperial Capital Institute, know their shortcomings, understand?"
Dean Xiao said earnestly, his face full of "righteousness."
"As expected of Master, your thick skin is really... cough cough, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. I'll take on this task!" Wang Feng said with a smile.
"Here's the list, take a look." Dean Xiao handed the exchange student list to Wang Feng.
Wang Feng took it and scanned it.
The names were: Zhao Manyan, Song Xia, Shen Mingxiao, Mu Ningjiao, Luo Song, Mo Fan, Zheng Bingxiao, Peng Liang.
The personnel were basically consistent with the original timeline, except that because Wang Feng himself was a Healing System mage, Bai Tingting was dropped.
"Alright, go back and prepare," Dean Xiao said, taking off his glasses and rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Master is tired? Coincidentally, I know [Healing Massage]. Let me help you refresh!"
Wang Feng said with a smile, a milky white light glowing in his hand as he gently pressed on Dean Xiao's shoulder.
As the 'Healing Power' infused him, Dean Xiao's spirits lifted, his fatigue quickly receded, and he felt completely refreshed.
And Wang Feng also received a divine gift from Dean Xiao!
[If Heaven did not give birth to me, Xiao Bingsen, the demonic path would be like an eternal night]: Unknown. (This is a reference to Dean Xiao's performance in the original extra story)
Wang Feng:???
He's not even pretending anymore!
Emperor Xiao!
"Not bad, not bad. Your Healing System is even better than Parthenon's," Dean Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, Master, I want to train my Healing System in the Black Magic Department. Help me put up a notice saying that all teachers and students in the Black Magic Department can get a free physical examination!" Wang Feng said.
Dean Xiao was stunned. Although he was very curious, he didn't ask further. He quickly wrote the notice and handed it to Wang Feng.
"Wang Feng, pay attention to Yumian's side too," Dean Xiao said.
Wang Feng was startled, then showed a brilliant smile. "Of course, she's my dear senior sister!"
...
After leaving Dean Xiao's office, Wang Feng stood in the corridor, looking up at the bright sky, lost in thought for a moment.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Zhao Manyan's number.
"Godfather, do you need your little brother to do something?" On the other end of the phone, Zhao Manyan's voice was fawning, as if he was ready to serve Wang Feng at any time.
"I still have an extra spot for Seven Days of Cultivation in the Three Step Tower..."
"Ten million!" Zhao Manyan shouted without hesitation.
"Deal!"
...
In a flash, nine days passed.
The day for the exchange students to gather finally arrived.
During this period, Ye Xin Xia, Mu Ningjiao, and Ai Tutu all took the opportunity to enter the Three Step Tower for cultivation, each gaining significant progress.
Wang Feng, on the other hand, spent his time in the Black Magic Department, providing 'free' physical examinations to teachers and students.
Although it wasn't mandatory, many students came to him with strong curiosity. This also brought Wang Feng a rich harvest.
He successively copied the Star Dust of the Curse System and Poison System, and also obtained several intriguing talents:
[Puppet]: Cast a curse, devour the soul, and turn it into a controllable puppet.
[Memory Devour]: Cast a curse, which can erase some memories.
[Corrupting Poison]: Poison System can corrode elemental defense.
[Poison Resistance Physique]: Possesses strong resistance to poison, not easily harmed by poison.
[Corpse Explosion]: Can detonate summoned undead.
...
At the same time, his long-awaited Little Azure Dragon finally hatched from the dragon egg.
It officially shed its embarrassing 'undead' dragon status and regained its sacred totem skill!
