Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Long, long afterward, Ye Ge had left the War Academy, and his relationship with Lan Mi was no longer that of teacher and student.

But Lan Mi's words remained deeply etched in his mind, forever etched...

Ye Ge hadn't expected that today's open class would be about war, and indeed, he was currently facing a war.

After that class, many new ideas came to his mind.

He silently wrote them all down in his notebook.

Unfortunately, the level of his opponent this time was far from that of an ant compared to an elephant.

"Alright, now let's get down to business."

Lan Mi continued, "As I just said, you little guys don't understand war at all. So this lesson is to let you experience real war and feel the pain of the world."

The students in the large classroom looked at each other, puzzled as to what the principal meant.

How should we feel about it?

Lan Mi hummed for a while, then turned and looked around at the students in the classroom: "Let's find someone to demonstrate."

"Hey! Night Song, I choose you!"

Night Song: "..."

Ye Ge felt that Lan Mi's act of turning her head around and looking at the students in the classroom was just a pretense.

No matter what, they'll definitely pick him, right?

Ye Ge stood up and walked to the podium.

"Alright, now we need an opponent." Lan Mi said with a smile, "By the way, that guy from earlier, I bet you're still not convinced, right? Come on up here, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

"...Huh?" Upon hearing this, the boy quickly waved his hands, "No, no..."

"Don't deny it." Lan Mi said playfully, "People don't change their minds so easily. But no idea in this world is necessarily wrong. If you want to prove yourself, just being resentful in your heart won't do you any good."

"..." Upon hearing this, the boy remained silent for a while, then finally gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked to the podium.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a game. It's just that most of you probably won't want to play this game a second time after you've played it."

As Lan Mi spoke, she raised her slender, fair finger and gently tapped it in the air.

A dazzling ball of light slowly appeared in front of the two of them.

"The game is actually called 'War,' the most realistic war. It's a large-scale illusion that will place both of you into a war world as leaders of two nations. You will each be given a certain number of warriors, and your current knowledge and strength will be preserved, allowing you to fight each other."

"..." After listening, Ye Ge thought to himself, "Wow, it really is a real-time strategy game?"

Long Ying listened to the rules and seemed to be deep in thought.

I see......

It seems quite interesting.

Lan Mi looked at the boy: "By the way, what's your name?"

The boy puffed out his chest and answered, "Tang Shan! My strength is at the seventh level of the Earth Realm!"

Lan Mi nodded: "Ye Ge's strength is at the eighth stage of the Profound Realm. On paper, you are slightly stronger than him."

"However, to make the comparison of your strength more like that of ants and elephants, I will give you 500,000 extraordinary warriors and 30 million ordinary people."

"As for Night Song, at the start I will only give him three extraordinary warriors and fifty ordinary people."

Night Song: "???"

Tang Shan froze for a moment, thinking he had misheard: "...Huh??"

Everyone in the large classroom was shocked to hear this, including Xia Xiyao, Gao Shenxue, and Long Ying in the last row.

Ye Ge's lips twitched slightly.

Good guy.

Last time, he was able to kill three Heavenly Realm puppets in one move while being at the Profound Realm.

Here we go again...

Each one is more hellish than the last...

His teacher really went to great lengths to make things difficult for him...

"You two have no time limit in the illusion. It doesn't matter if it's ten, twenty, one hundred, or one thousand years. One year in the illusion is only equal to one minute in reality."

Lan Mi added, "By the way, after entering the virtual illusion world, although you will retain your existing knowledge and strength, you will lose your memories of this world. In other words, you will be completely immersed in the characters in this game. You will not treat this as a game, but as real life, and truly feel the despair and pain of war."

Tang Shan gritted his teeth.

"okay, I get it!"

Tang Shan understood that the fact that the principal would give him such a big advantage meant that the principal really looked down on him!

After all, he is an extraordinary individual with SS-level learning abilities in both ghost control and magic!

How can I be looked down upon like this?!

Lan Mi could easily see through Tang Shan's intentions.

She smiled and said, "If you win, the academy will give you ten more Spirit Gathering Pills as a reward next month."

Tang Shan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

“But if you lose with such a big advantage at the start,” Lan Mi said slowly, “it means you are still far from being an inner disciple. You will be expelled from the inner disciple class and sent back to the regular class.”

"..." Tang Shan's heart trembled when he heard the words "rush back to the regular class".

He was cultivated by his family at great cost, and his family went to great lengths to send him to the inner sect of the War Academy.

He couldn't even imagine the consequences of being expelled from the inner sect...

But with such a huge gap, how could he possibly lose?

Tang Shan reassured himself and then said, "Okay!"

Lan Mi nodded: "In that case, all of you come to this white ball of light. Reach out and touch the ball of light, and you will enter the world of illusion."

Ye Ge and Tang Shan walked up to the blinding white light.

Lan Mi gently placed her hand on Ye Ge's shoulder and whispered to him through telepathy, "After returning to reality, you can inherit all the memories you gained in the illusion. This is an opportunity that others would give anything for, so make the most of it."

Ye Ge nodded slightly: "Mm."

He understood what Lan Mi meant.

Experience is the most valuable thing.

Ye Ge reached out and slowly touched the white orb of light.

In an instant, blinding white light filled his consciousness...
