Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

When Xu Yi dropped the first piece, Duan Mingyuan knew the reason.

In his eyes, the chess pieces on the board seemed to suddenly come alive, making him feel as if he were on a battlefield. The sound of killing was deafening in his ears. Xu Yi, sitting at the chess table, seemed to have become a general who was able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. He poured his wisdom into the game, entered the game himself, and thus took control of the overall situation.

Although Duan Mingyuan knew nothing about Go, he was able to perceive the changes in the "momentum" in the game. Jiang Wen, Xu Yi's opponent, was mediocre and surrendered within ten minutes.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Xu Yi was feeling uneasy.

"Yang Ping, go and fight him."

Duan Mingyuan did not comment, but called Yang Ping directly, "Remember, incorporate your understanding of evil spirits into this duel."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen immediately stood up and made way for Yang Ping.

Yang Ping did not refuse, but nodded silently, bowed politely to Xu Yi, and sat down in front of him.

The classroom was completely silent, and even the air seemed to have become much heavier.

The students at the chess academy all knew the abilities of the eldest brother, and their chess skills were not even in his eyes. However, after watching the eldest brother's game, Teacher Mingyuan directly asked the new junior brother to step out.

Could it be that, in the eyes of Teacher Mingyuan, this junior brother and the eldest senior brother are on the same level?

Xu Yi held his breath. It had been a long time since he had been so nervous before a game.

He carefully observed Yang Ping opposite him.

There is no doubt that the latter is a rare genius in Yunhai Academy.

So, what is his approach?

Have you already found the limit of "momentum"?

Xu Yi clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down - he would know how capable this junior brother is after a try!

"let's start."

Teacher Mingyuan's command came from the podium.

"Junior brother, you first."

Yang Ping did not refuse. He nodded silently, and under the expectant gazes of his fellow brothers and sisters...

He suddenly jumped up, picked up the chessboard and smashed it hard at Xu Yi.

Chapter 90 Remarks on the launch

Before I knew it, another book has been written and put on the shelves. It can be said that it continues the tradition of one book being good but not so good.

This book is expected to be on the shelves on April 4, which is tonight at midnight. After the listing status is passed at midnight, four chapters will be updated consecutively. Starting from April, the update rhythm of 1 updates per day (4 words + mini-theater) will be maintained for at least one month.

When I was writing "The Law Enforcer's Handbook" before, many readers mentioned that the world view in the later period was confused, which led to the plot being a bit disorganized. This is mainly the main problem I found in my research on the invincible writing method. The invincible power often leads to weakness in the middle and late stages. After solving the crisis in the early stages, it is easy to fall into a state of lack of goals and doing nothing. Therefore, in this book, I tried to put the upgrade line on the protagonist's descendants, and added some entrepreneurial elements, but overall the attempt was not successful.

Regarding the character settings of the male and female protagonists, this book also attempts to make some changes. In this book, the male protagonist is the strong one in terms of emotions, while Jiu Yue's character is shaped in a more innocent direction. The way they get along is completely different from Song Lan and Lu Xiang. Many readers should have already noticed that this book has referred to "Gintama" to a certain extent in the construction of its world view. In fact, readers who have read "Gintama" and "Azure Blue" should know that the settings of many funny plots need to rely on the exaggeration of the characters to a certain extent, so I really hope that you can distinguish some daily elements from the main line in the process of reading. After all, my purpose in writing books has always been to avoid knife-cutting as much as possible, and I hope that readers will have a relaxed and enjoyable reading experience overall.

One of the problems with online novels is that market feedback is often delayed. When authors design some innovative plots and story structures, they are often unable to predict the market's reaction and have few opportunities for trial and error. By the time they can see the data and reviews, it is basically difficult to make a major adjustment. If the market response is not good, many times they have no choice but to cut it off or finish it anyway.

Now that the beginning is a foregone conclusion, all I can promise my old readers is to speed up the update after the book is put on the shelves.

Afterwards, I will make adjustments to the length of subsequent chapters based on the fluctuations in the average subscriptions in the first month. I should be a relatively stubborn author, so please rest assured that even if the beginning is not good, I will continue to finish the story seriously as always.

Chapter 91 This is actual combat!

Xu Yi was carried out of the classroom.

After many years, the eldest brother of the chess academy finally suffered his first defeat. His opponent broke his exquisite chess moves by hitting him on the head with the chessboard.

It was also from this moment that the students of the chess academy began to understand the profoundness of the "Evil Defense Course" from their own perspective.

However, after a brief moment of shock and confusion, the students of Yunhai Academy felt like they were reborn. When they carefully reviewed the game between Yang Ping and the eldest senior brother, they suddenly discovered that Yang Ping had not used any offensive means that were beyond their capabilities - every one of them could pick up the chessboard and hit the eldest senior brother on the forehead with it!

The eldest brother was indeed an excellent chess player, and he had discovered the boundaries of "momentum" very early on, but in the field of actual combat, they all returned to the same starting line.

The students of the chess academy suddenly understood.

This is actual combat!

Looking at the students' expressions of sudden enlightenment, Duan Mingyuan showed a gratified smile on his face.

In this way, the purpose of his first class was achieved.

The first lesson of "Defense Against Evil Spirits" is to let the weak scholars in the academy step out of their comfort zone and deeply understand the true meaning of the sentence "Anything can happen in a real combat environment."

Fighting is not simply a competition of numbers. With the right tactics, the weak can defeat the strong.

Duan Mingyuan's ideas achieved great success in Yunhai Academy. On this day, students from various colleges finally stepped out of the greenhouse and passed through the door to a new world. Behind that door was a scene of the end of the century.

Yunhai Academy at the end of the century.

Students have taken off their long gowns and put on jackets and tight leather pants. Mohawk hairstyles are popular on campus. Today's students have only one creed - when their eyes cross, they must fight.

The chessboard acts as a brick, the chess pieces are hidden weapons, the paintbrush is used as a dagger to strike directly at the enemy, and it can also leave blue and red marks on the enemy's face...

Unfortunately, this vigorous practical movement lasted only one morning and ended when a few fighting students accidentally knocked down a college teacher who came to mediate in the cafeteria.

After the first victimized teacher appeared, the academy's leadership immediately held an emergency meeting and completely banned any form of fighting outside of practical classes.

After lunch, the four deans gathered together.

After the first student was murdered, they held meetings more than once, and the establishment of the "Evil Spirit Defense Course" was one of the topics approved at the meeting.

And just today, there has been new progress in this matter.

The murder of the messenger showed one thing - the spy sent by the court had already infiltrated the academy.

Then, as the leaders of Yunhai Academy, they must anticipate the next actions of the traitor in advance.

If they think they are the traitor, what should they do now?

Waiting for an opportunity to stir up chaos in the academy; the more muddy the water is, the more convenient it will be for the next action.

Thinking of this, the teachers from the three academies exchanged glances. They already had a common idea.

Based on the above materials, try to analyze the identity of the traitor in the academy and explain why it is Duan Mingyuan.

"Dean, this new teacher of the "Defense Against Evil Spirits" class is totally messing around!"

The dean of the chess academy was the first to speak out. His most valued disciple was still lying in the infirmary with a big bump on his head.

Is this decent?

When they saw students turning elegant art into weapons for fighting, they could no longer hold back. The skills that had been passed down by generations since the establishment of the academy were not meant for students to use in fights like gangsters!

Mo Song said leisurely, "Perhaps this is the spirit that the academy has always lacked."

Especially in this chaotic situation, the academy can no longer protect students like flowers in a greenhouse.

"Spirit? You mean street fighting?"

The director of the art academy also began to criticize, "You really should come to the art academy to take a look. The walls of the art academy have been painted over by them. Also, the teacher who was thrown to the ground in the cafeteria at noon was from our art academy."

"Mr. Mingyuan's teaching method is indeed a bit radical."

Mo Song nodded, but then changed the subject, "But, if those killers break through the barrier, what do you think they will do to the students on the mountain? And what will they do to the knowledge we have always cherished?"

Faced with the dean's questions, the three of them remained silent.

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and whenever the topic reached this stage, the room would fall into silence.

Although they had never dealt with Yindie in this era, the events before the founding of the academy were recorded in the manuscripts in the library.

The four deans at that time led the gathered people to avoid the pursuit of Yindie all the way. When they arrived at Qingchi Peak, most of the original people were only one in ten left.

People in the court would neither sympathize with them nor need the knowledge passed down from generation to generation in the academies.

What they need is absolute submission, so that they can look up to the sky like slaves. After clearing out the remnants, they will take over the academy and turn it into a second cradle for training Hidden Butterfly warriors.

"But how do you know he can be trusted?"

The dean of the Qin Academy, who had remained silent since entering the room, suddenly asked. Compared with the other two, she did not directly express her dissatisfaction.

This "he" naturally refers to Duan Mingyuan, who caused chaos just one day after arriving at the academy.

The dean of the Qin Academy continued, "Perhaps setting up an ambush along the way and deliberately letting Yunlin return to the academy was also Yindie's plan. In this way, the new teacher of the "Defense against Evil Spirits" course can clear himself of suspicion and sneak into the academy."

After a long while, Mo Song finally spoke, "I can't confirm. Only time can prove whether he can bear the trust of the academy... But now is a critical moment for the academy's survival. If we want to survive this crisis, we must make changes. If the facts prove that I was wrong to trust the villain, please write my name into the library."

His tone was calm, but his attitude was unquestionable. "Let Mo Song's notoriety be passed down in history, and make sure that people in later generations know that there was once such a willful sinner who ruined the entire academy."

"Since you are willing to vouch for him, we will not ask any more questions."

There was a hint of something strange in the eyes of the dean of the piano academy, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Seeing the dean of the Qin Academy speak, the other two nodded and added, "But we must ensure that private fights are prohibited outside of the "Evil Defence Class". It is simply not decent."

"That's natural."

Mo Song also agreed, "Also, I will pass it on, Mohawk hairstyles are no longer allowed."

After reaching a consensus, the other three left the room one after another, leaving Mo Song alone sitting at the table, carefully looking at a manuscript with a yellowed cover spread out on the table.

He accidentally discovered this manuscript in a library when he was young and has kept it ever since.

This manuscript was written by the first dean.

In his later years, the first dean was always thinking about Universal Company, the aliens and the failed war.

Judging from the results, the company took over the planet with overwhelming force, and later they realized that the power that descended on the planet was just the tip of the company's iceberg.

This is a battle that has never been equal.

however……

The aliens tried to wipe out the strange and weird magic they created from this world at all costs, but it was not out of contempt for ants by the superiors, but out of a certain fear.

They seemed to understand this energy better than the people in this world, as if they could foresee the changes that would occur hundreds of years later as early as that era. It was precisely because of fear that the company displayed tough diplomatic means from the first moment of contact, and even did not hesitate to start a war to eliminate the traces of their existence.

But where does this fear come from?

Mo Song calmed himself down and opened the manuscript again.

The first dean raised questions in the manuscript, but unfortunately, he never found the answers until his death.

Chapter 92: Inheriting the Power of Heaven and Earth (Part )

After lunch, Duan Mingyuan went to the infirmary alone.

Xu Yi was arranged to stay in the lounge on the inner side of the second floor. The teacher in the infirmary said that he was not seriously injured and that he had been staying in the ward due to psychological problems.

Upon hearing the news, Jiu Yue was given the task and carried a chicken that she had caught from somewhere into the kitchen of the academy. Before Duan Mingyuan came to visit, she packed a portion of braised chicken that she had cooked herself into a lunch box and asked Duan Mingyuan to take it to the frustrated senior brother.

When he entered the room, Xu Yi was sitting on the bed with half of his body exposed, looking down at his hands.

The noise coming from the door startled him. He turned around and saw that it was Duan Mingyuan who came in. He didn't know where to put his flustered hands. Duan Mingyuan walked to the bed, put the still warm lunch box on the bedside table, and said, "I heard that you didn't go to eat at noon. Your master's wife cooked braised chicken nuggets, and I brought some for you."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Mingyuan."

Xu Yi quickly picked up the lunch box and wolfed it down, as if trying to hide his mood.

Seeing this, Duan Mingyuan was also stunned.

He originally thought that this genius from the chess academy had not tasted defeat for too long, and after being defeated by Yang Ping, he went into an autistic state with no appetite.

But he didn't expect that while eating, he also praised, "Master's wife's cooking is really good, it tastes much better than the cafeteria."

Duan Mingyuan remained silent.

Ever since he started living together with Jiu Yue, he has given up ordering takeout, and he hasn't even been to his most frequented restaurant, Lao Sui Restaurant, for a long time.

He moved a chair and sat in front of the bed, waiting patiently for Xu Yi to empty the lunch box.

After dinner, Xu Yi wiped his mouth and put the lunch box back on the bedside table.

It seemed that September's secret braised chicken nuggets had worked. He calmed down and finally decided to tell the new teacher about his confusion. "Teacher, I know this won't work."
