Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"I don't want to, you'll make people eat shit."

As soon as Li Hongying said this, the whole room fell silent, followed by a burst of laughter. Even the teachers on the screen couldn't help but laugh a couple of times. Everyone recalled the first teacher-student selection process and the bizarre test given by the physical education teacher.

At this moment, Li Hongying suddenly raised her hand and quickly gave her answer.

"I choose a calligraphy teacher."

After saying that, Li Hongying secretly glanced at Lu Yunshi.

"They always say my handwriting is ugly, so this time I'm going to practice properly and amaze them."

The decision was made so quickly that the other three teachers didn't even have time to say a few more words for themselves, and in the end, they could only give up regretfully.

Judging from Li Hongying's performance just now, she is indeed a promising talent. If I could guide her to become a successful person, that would be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, it's no use saying anything now.

However, seeing the fat man get his comeuppance was still worthwhile.

After Li Hongying, several more people went up on stage, but only one of them barely passed the test and became a disciple of the swordsmanship teacher.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone (only the two brothers and Li Hongying were paying attention), Lu Yunshi took the stage. Many of the students watching felt that Lu Yunshi's face looked familiar, and it took them a while to realize who he was.

"It's him! Isn't that the simp?"

"My God, this guy actually made it up! He's truly charging forward for love! I'm in awe, I'm in awe!"

"No wonder we haven't seen him in so long. Was he secretly cultivating, preparing to amaze everyone?"

"Stop arguing, they can't see it. Even if they come up, they'll just be an average student, they're useless."

"It's big brother! I knew big brother could do it! Big brother, keep it up! Big brother, keep it up!"

As if hearing a familiar voice, Lu Yunshi glanced at the outer edge of the square but saw nothing. Then he looked up at the ten light screens.

"Um... my name is Lu Yunshi, a Body Tempering Realm cultivator. As for the question... I don't have any questions."

Let's just go through the motions and call it a day.

Lu Yunshi thought to himself, wanting only to get down from the square as soon as possible. Being treated like a monkey was one thing, but whether he liked it or not was another matter entirely.

"Another troublesome student." Seeing that Lu Yunshi, like Li Hongying, had no questions to ask, the teachers on the screen were speechless.

Suddenly, the physical education teacher asked in a slightly serious tone, "Extreme Realm cultivator, are you, student?"

Upon hearing this, the other teachers were all stunned for a moment, and then immediately began to observe Lu Yunshi. Lu Yunshi felt as if he were completely naked in an instant. His spiritual sense trembled for a moment, as if he was trying to resist, but in the end he collapsed easily.

Well, at least it can be considered a form of resistance.

The other students also heard the words "extreme realm". After a little thought, they finally remembered this somewhat distant term, and many of them were quite surprised.

'This is actually a living cultivator at the pinnacle of cultivation?'

'What era are we living in? Such outdated thinking! How could they possibly step into the abyss of extreme circumstances?'

'Is this all because I'm trying to win over Lu Yunxi?'

"Truly a cultivator at the pinnacle of cultivation." The swordsmanship teacher clicked his tongue in amazement, quite surprised by the existence of such a cultivator.

"What surprised me even more was that he was able to break through to the extreme realm in the environment of a beginner, and his talent... is truly remarkable." The painter teacher said.

Regardless, most of the teachers had already made their decision, as they now knew about Lu Yunshi's talent.

Their interest in Lu Yunshi stemmed from his status as a cultivator at the pinnacle of cultivation, but his talent meant he was destined to go no further on this path.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that stepping into the extreme realm completely blocked Lu Yunshi's already arduous path of cultivation.

But in any case, we still need to go through a process and put them to a test.

Just as the teachers were scratching their heads, trying to figure out how to test Lu Yun, the taciturn cooking teacher suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

“What does one plus one equal?”

"what?"

Not only Lu Yunshi, but also the teachers and other students in the light screen had the same reaction: Why ask such a stupid question all of a sudden?

"This is your test: what does one plus one equal?" The cooking teacher's short question amazed everyone. They began brainstorming, silently speculating, and engaging in a new kind of contemplation.

"Wait a minute, the cooking teacher must have a deeper meaning in asking this question. Otherwise, would she be treating people like idiots?"

"No...that's right, but what kind of answer is she trying to get by asking such a question? Does she want him to answer correctly? Or does she want him to give up?"

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

At this moment, Lu Yunshi gazed at the light screen, thoughtfully extending a finger.

"Could it be... equal to one?"

Upon hearing this answer, everyone held their breath, and even the light screen remained silent for several seconds.

After a long while, the sound of cooking resumed. "No...that's right, it equals one. You passed the test."

"One plus one equals one? Why does one plus one equal one? Why is that?"

"Yes, why? Is this world I live in real? Am I... real?"

"If one plus one equals one, then what is two plus two? If everything is not as I know it, then does my existence still have meaning?"

"Ah~ How amazing is arithmetic~ I knew nothing about it."

In the end, it was the host teacher who reacted in time, interrupting the students' train of thought and forcefully pushing the segment into the next stage; otherwise, who knows how many people would have had their spiritual hearts broken.

However, when the teachers' selection results came out, everyone was stunned. Out of the ten teachers, there were still three left: cooking, swordsmanship, and physical training.

However, the most surprising thing among the three is, of course, her choice of cooking dishes. She is the only teacher who has never made choices for her students.

"Huh!? No... you two?" The physical education teacher was completely bewildered. He thought that no one wanted Lu Yunshi in his current situation, so how come he was a hot commodity?

"Uh..." Lu Yunshi stared blankly, feeling that the outcome was both expected and unexpected.

He could probably guess who was cooking, and although Lu Yun was surprised by her choice, he wasn't too surprised.

But who are the swordsmanship and physical training teachers?

Why would you choose me?

"Ahem, let me start." The physical training instructor cleared his throat and then said, "Young man, you need to think this through. You are an extreme realm cultivator, and with your talent, if you want to reach a higher level, becoming my student is the best choice. I can guarantee that in the entire academy, no teacher is more suitable for you than me."

"May I ask you why you chose me, teacher? Do I perhaps possess some hidden power within me?" Lu Yunshi asked simply to satisfy his curiosity.

"Huh? Absolutely not, your talent is absolutely terrible." The physical training instructor replied with disdain. "I only chose you because I thought you had great perseverance to stick to the extreme path with your talent."

"Oh, I see." Lu Yunshi nodded, understanding.

"So what's your answer?" the physical education teacher asked.

"No, because you'll make people eat shit." Lu Yunshi shook his head directly, giving his answer.

"...No, you brats don't even know how to respect your teachers anymore, do you? You just wait and see, you'll see what I do..."

The physical education teacher, whose defenses had been completely broken by Lu Yunshi, opened his eyes wide with anger, his muscles trembling uncontrollably. He threatened to come and have tea with Lu Yunshi, but in the end, the host teacher took the blame and waved his hand to mute the physical education teacher's screen.

There's no need to worry about whether they'll come looking for us; even if they do, someone will stop them.

"Then... teacher, why did you choose me...?" Lu Yunshi changed his target and looked at the swordsmanship teacher.

"Is it him? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" A voice faintly came from the other side of the screen. The swordsmanship teacher seemed to be talking to someone when he suddenly heard Lu Yunshi's question. He stopped talking a couple of seconds later.

"Um... I think you're very interesting, and your hands look very suitable for holding a sword. People who practice swordsmanship often know that you can tell whether someone is suitable for swordsmanship just by looking at their hands."

After spouting nonsense, in a hall somewhere in the academy, a graceful woman in a red robe gently snapped her fingers, making sure her voice wouldn't accidentally leak through the light screen as before, before looking at the girl beside her.

"His talent is really not good, and I don't know enough about the Extreme Realm. Are you sure you want me to take him in?"

Lu Yunxi nodded slightly as she looked at Lu Yunxi outside the light screen. "He shouldn't be too far away from me."

"Tsk, it seems you're not so simple after all. But what can I do? I'm your master." The woman in red shrugged slightly, then her expression turned strange.

"I just didn't expect her to be interested in this kid too. Interesting...really interesting."

"I choose the cooking teacher." Lu Yunshi's voice entered the ears of the two women through the light screen. The woman in the red robe was stunned for a moment and did not react. However, Lu Yunxi's eyes turned slightly cold.

"I shouldn't have let him stay too far away from me."

After Lu Yunxi finished speaking, the woman in red realized something was amiss. "Wait, why didn't this kid ask her why she chose him?"

"No, one person asks what one plus one equals, while the other doesn't ask anything at all. Isn't that completely meaningless? Isn't it like they've already made their choice? Just lock it in, okay? Why ask me and that fatso questions? Just padding the word count? I really do..."

However, before the woman in the red robe could finish speaking, a new voice came from the light screen.

"I disagree!"
