Chapter 30 Class Zero
"Xiaozhou, can I come in?"

Long Hengxu knocked on the door of a luxurious three-story house and seemed to have mustered up the courage before he started asking.

"Teacher Long?"

The one who responded to Long Hengxu was not Chen Zhou, but the bored Blue Armored Beast who was watching the live news on TV on the first floor.

"Mr. Lanjia?"

"I have something to ask Xiaozhou, I wonder if he is at home?"

Long Hengxu was very sensible and did not ask Lan Jia to open the door for him. Instead, he asked Lan Jia seriously.

The blue-armored beast's mechanical eyes moved slightly, and bits of light flickered between the gears, as if it was thinking about something.

"Lan Jia, let Teacher Long in."

Chen Zhou's voice came from upstairs, but no footsteps were heard. It was obvious that he was concentrating on the experiment.

The blue-armored beast nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

In an instant, with the flash of blue light, the originally huge mechanical body instantly turned into flesh and blood. Amidst the blue light, a sky blue robe was worn on the body, and the elegant temperament of Lan Jia once again emanated.

In fact, the Blue Armored Beast does not like to transform into a human form. Although its combat power has not decreased, it always feels a bit awkward.
"Teacher Long, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Lan Jia smiled slightly, stepped aside to make way, and motioned Long Hengxu to come in.

Long Hengxu nodded and walked into the house. His eyes swept across the spacious living room. The decoration was luxurious but not exaggerated. Every detail revealed the owner's taste and style.

The sound of the TV news echoed softly in the background. Lan Jia turned off the TV and turned to Long Hengxu and said, "Xiao Zhou is in the laboratory upstairs. He has been busy with a project recently and may not have noticed you."

"It's okay, I understand."

Long Hengxu smiled, with a hint of concern in his tone, "Xiaozhou, this kid, always works so hard."

Lan Jia nodded, but did not respond. Instead, he asked directly, "Is there anything important that brought Teacher Long here this time?"

In response to Lan Jia's question, Long Hengxu opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with eyes as calm as a lake. He was wearing a simple white lab coat and holding a document as he slowly walked down the stairs. His eyes swept between Long Hengxu and Lan Jia, finally stopping at Long Hengxu and nodding slightly.

"Teacher Long, you are here."

Chen Zhou's voice was calm and gentle, as if he had already anticipated Long Hengxu's arrival.

Long Hengxu looked at the young man before him, feeling a surge of emotion. Though Chen Zhou was young, he possessed a composure and wisdom beyond his years. His eyes were penetrating, as if seeing through everything, yet tinged with an elusive sense of distance.

"Xiaozhou, I came here this time to talk to you about the establishment of 'Zero Class'."

Long Hengxu said bluntly that he and Chenzhou did not have much interaction. The only good relationship they had was that his junior sister Lin Ximeng was the head teacher of Chenzhou Elementary School.

Therefore, adhering to the idea of ​​doing things impartially, Long Hengxu did not intend to beat around the bush.

"Zero Class?"

Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow, sat down on the sofa, motioned Lan Jia to the tea, and then asked in confusion, "I don't remember there being a Class Zero in our intermediate department." Seeing that Chen Zhou was willing to listen, Long Hengxu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down. He then took the teacup from Lan Jia, took a sip, and then slowly explained, "'Class Zero' is a special class that the dean and I just discussed. As you know, there are so many exceptionally talented students in this class. Whether it's you, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, or Xie Xie, Zhang Ziyang, Wang Jinxi, and others, you have all demonstrated strength and potential far beyond your peers. If we follow the traditional class division method, I'm afraid it will limit your development."

Chen Zhou nodded slightly, undeniably agreeing with Long Hengxu's statement. Of course, he thought it had nothing to do with him. After all, it didn't matter whether the school cultivated him attentively or not. This was not what he needed.

But the curiosity in his heart still made Chen Zhou signal Long Hengxu to continue.

Seeing this, Long Hengxu felt more confident and continued, "So, we have decided to establish a 'Zero Class' to bring together talented students like you for more targeted training. This class will not be restricted by traditional courses, but will be tailored to each of your characteristics. At the same time, the academy will provide you with more resources and support to help you grow faster."

After hearing this, Chen Zhou didn't express his opinion immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then asked, "Teacher Long, does the establishment of this 'Zero Class' mean that we no longer need to participate in the promotion competition?"

Long Hengxu shook his head and explained, "No, the promotion competition will still take place, but the students in Class Zero will no longer participate in competitions between classes. Instead, they will represent the academy as a whole in higher-level competitions and activities."

Chen Zhou's eyes flickered with interest when he heard this. He wasn't particularly interested in participating in the competition, but if it offered him the opportunity to gain access to more resources and information, it would be a good option.

"Teacher Long, has the establishment of this 'Class Zero' been agreed upon by all students?" Chen Zhou asked.

Long Hengxu nodded and said, "We've already communicated with most of the students, and they've all expressed their willingness to join Class Zero. However, your opinion is very important to us. After all, your talent and strength are one of the keys to the success of Class Zero."

Chen Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Long, you're too kind. However, I am indeed very interested in this 'Zero Class'. If I can get more resources and opportunities, I am willing to join."

Long Hengxu felt relieved when he heard Chen Zhou's answer. He had been worried that Chen Zhou would refuse to join due to his special status, but he hadn't expected Chen Zhou to agree so readily.

"Great! Xiaozhou, your joining means a lot to us."

Long Hengxu said excitedly, "Next, we will arrange the establishment of 'Class Zero' as soon as possible and develop a detailed training plan for you and the other students."

Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Teacher Long, I have another question."

"You said."

Long Hengxu responded immediately.

"Who is the instructor of Class Zero?" Chen Zhou asked.

Long Hengxu smiled slightly and said, "Class Zero will be taught by Teacher Wu Changkong. I believe you are all familiar with his strengths and teaching experience. Moreover, he has his own unique insights into your training."

When Chen Zhou heard Wu Changkong's name, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. He then waved his hand and said, "Forget it then. Teacher Wu and I still have a grudge that's not too small. It's best not to bother Teacher Wu."

Chen Zhou despised Wu Changkong's ideas, but he approved of Wu Changkong as a teacher.

A teacher, a mentor who teaches and answers questions, who is able to protect students and teach them everything he knows is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

However, the grudge between Chen Zhou and Wu Changkong made it difficult for him to accept Wu Changkong as his mentor. Although he respected Wu Changkong's teaching ability, he was more aware that the gap between them might affect his own cultivation and development.

There was no way he would allow a guy who was poisoned by a teaching method he didn't approve of to be his teacher.

It’s nothing but trouble.

Long Hengxu frowned slightly at Chen Zhou's response, clearly having not expected him to reject Wu Changkong as his mentor. He paused for a moment, then said, "Xiaozhou, I understand there may be some misunderstandings between you and Teacher Wu, but Teacher Wu's teaching ability is unquestionable. Moreover, as the instructor of Class Zero, he will undoubtedly treat every student with the utmost professionalism. If you have any concerns, we can work together to find a solution."
