"That's a question…"
Liu Qingjian rubbed his head, struggling to articulate his words.
He was merely a professor at the cultural institute and had never even met a monarch in his life. How could he possibly know the answer?
"Hm? Teacher, you don't know this?"
Chen Shu frowned and said,
"Clearly, it's either a control-type skill or a long-range skill."
"For example, that Ice Tiger King on the Northern Ice Snow Island, its ice and snow skills can slow down the speed of flying stones, creating a counter effect…"
"Alright, next question! Let me see who can answer it…"
Chen Shu's gaze swept across the five people below.
Instantly, the five of them instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes, instantly transported back to their student days…
"Oh dear…"
The other students present were stunned. Was this really a graduation defense?
Ten minutes passed.
Jiang Yun and the other four felt as if they had lived through a decade; it was simply torture…
Chen Shu posed dozens of questions related to monarchs, all of them concerning combat.
Unless one had personally participated, it was impossible for anyone to answer them.
For a moment, the entire classroom fell silent, with only Chen Shu answering his own questions.
"Sigh…"
Chen Shu looked at the five people and sighed deeply, saying, "With you all like this, it's really hard for me to pass you…"
"…"
The five people's eyes twitched. Was he insane? They were the ones who were supposed to be the supervisors…
They kept shouting in their hearts: Why did we have to encounter this monster…
"Cough cough…"
Jiang Yun finally couldn't stand it, cleared his throat, and said, "Student Chen Shu, your defense time is up…"
"Hm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and then said, "As long as you answer one question, I'll step down."
"…"
Jiang Yun and the others' expressions froze. Was he refusing to leave?
The students all swallowed their saliva, instinctively recalling a saying:
If the roles were reversed, he would show you what cruelty meant…
Another ten minutes of torment passed.
Jiang Yun and the others looked utterly defeated.
As professors from the premier academy, they were being completely outmaneuvered by a student…
Just then, a figure slowly walked in.
It was Liu Feng, who had finished his matters!
"A savior!"
The five people shouted in unison, almost moved to tears.
They had originally thought Liu Feng had gone out to temper Chen Shu, but it turned out he had gone out to temper them…
"Old Jiang, what's wrong with you all?"
Liu Feng was slightly surprised, looking at the expressions of the five people, and didn't immediately understand the situation.
Chen Shu said calmly, "Professor Jiang Yun, please don't evade my questions…"
"…"
Jiang Yun's mouth twitched. He ignored Chen Shu and merely looked at Liu Feng with a resentful gaze.
Please manage your student!
If this guy kept asking questions, their professorial positions might be in jeopardy…
Liu Feng glanced at Chen Shu and the five supervisors and vaguely understood.
He opened his mouth and said, "Alright, Chen Pi, your defense is over!"
"Phew~~"
For a moment, Jiang Yun and the others collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, Teacher…"
Chen Shu said, "My questions are not yet…"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yun and the others' bodies trembled, and almost simultaneously, they pulled out their phones.
"Hello, Principal Qin…"
"Principal, is there something?"
"Brother Qin, is there a meeting this afternoon?"
"…"
The students below had their eyes twitching.
Could the five of you be any more obvious? Qin Tian called all of you at the same time, right…
Jiang Yun and the others also realized the flaw but didn't care, instead, they left the classroom with a serious expression.
If they didn't leave now, who knew how long Chen Shu would stay…
"…"
Chen Shu looked at Liu Feng alone below and could only sigh, reluctantly leaving the podium.
In fact, he had already received his system rewards.
He had intentionally not stepped down just to torment Jiang Yun and the others a bit longer…
As soon as Chen Shu returned to his seat, Jiang Yun and the others returned, all in neat order.
Liu Feng teased, "Old Jiang, didn't Principal Qin call you?"
"What principal?"
Jiang Yun shrugged his shoulders and calmly returned to his seat.
Liu Feng shook his head and smiled, saying, "Alright, let the defense continue!"
As long as Chen Shu left, their confidence would return…
Because of Chen Shu, the graduation defense had taken an extremely absurd turn.
Fortunately, after several hours of effort, the supervisors finally managed to bring the defense back on track.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the last student stepped down, the graduation defense came to a close.
"Everyone, this year's graduation defense has concluded."
Liu Feng walked onto the stage and said with a smile:
"Although there was a minor accident due to a certain individual, overall, it was quite alright!"
Everyone chuckled at the remark and simultaneously looked at Chen Shu in his seat. This guy was indeed a bit too outrageous…
"From now on, your academic careers have temporarily come to an end…"
Liu Feng withdrew his smile and looked at the hundreds of students below with a deep gaze, saying:
"Four years have flown by inadvertently, but I know that each of you has grown…"
"From eighteen to twenty-two, from basic beast tamers to Black Iron or even Silver level, along the way, you have always been shining…"
"I hope in the future, everyone can maintain their original aspirations and climb to their own peaks!"
"Finally, I wish you all a bright future!"
Liu Feng spoke briefly, bowed to the students below, and then left the podium.
Clap, clap, clap!
Thunderous applause erupted from below, with hundreds of eyes filled with reluctance and emotion.
Even they hadn't expected to have spent four years in the academy. Only when looking back could they realize how quickly time had passed.
The students in the classroom dispersed one by one, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber.
"A bright future…"
Chen Shu muttered to himself, recalling the time of his high school graduation, Shen Wushuang seemed to have said the same words.
He didn't have many emotions and stood up to leave with A Liang and the others.
For him, the academy was just a stage in life; his path still lay ahead, at the end of beast taming…
