"Become my disciple?" Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows. "What benefits will I get from being your disciple?"
Dean Xiao sighed helplessly upon seeing Wang Feng's expression. "I do have some resources, including a few magical tools I used in my youth…"
"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"
Before Dean Xiao could react, Wang Feng bowed respectfully and handed over a bottle of Kangshoufu green tea as a tea offering for his apprenticeship.
Dean Xiao twitched his lips, doubting if he had accepted the wrong disciple, but he accepted the tea. After a symbolic sip, he placed the bottle on the table.
"Get up," Dean Xiao said helplessly.
"Yes, Master!" Wang Feng stood straight and looked at Dean Xiao expectantly. "Master, where is the apprenticeship gift?"
"Oh~" Dean Xiao sighed and took out a palm-sized piece of armor from the space magic weapon. The armor was light blue, like a sky-blue emerald, emitting a soft luster.
"This is the armor magic tool I used in my youth. It's called 'Ocean Star' and is made mainly from sub-monarch exotic material. Although it hasn't reached the heavenly level, it is still top-notch among soul-level magic tools," Dean Xiao explained.
Wang Feng's eyes widened with surprise. "Thank you, Master!"
He imprinted his spiritual mark on the Ocean Star. Instantly, it transformed into a stream of light and enveloped Wang Feng's body.
"In addition to its powerful defense, this magic armor can increase the power of water magic up to two times for high-level water magic and below. It can also raise the magician's mental power by one level, up to a maximum of level six," Dean Xiao continued.
Wang Feng's eyes lit up. Magical tools capable of amplifying spiritual power were extremely rare. In his memory, only Mo Fan's Black Dragon suit later could increase mental strength directly by one level.
"Master, are there any other good things?" Wang Feng asked, licking his lips with anticipation.
Dean Xiao's face darkened. "Don't go too far, kid! Do you really want to drain me of my money in one breath?"
"Hehe, I just don't want to embarrass you. As Dean Xiao's disciple, I don't even have a decent magic tool outside. Everyone would laugh at me!" Wang Feng teased.
Dean Xiao curled his lips but reluctantly took out a sky-blue jade carving from the space magic weapon and handed it to Wang Feng.
"This is a shield magic tool usable for both offense and defense. After infusing magic energy, it can launch a strike comparable to high-level destructive magic. It also has a self-triggered water-blooming sky curtain that can save your life at critical moments," Dean Xiao explained.
"Thank you, Master!" Wang Feng smiled, showing his white teeth.
"But you have to do me a favor!" Dean Xiao added.
"Master, you are too polite. A master and disciple can ask for help, right? Just ask!" Wang Feng replied, patting his chest.
"Nine days later, Mingzhu Academy will send a team to the Imperial Capital for exchanges. I hope you can lead the team," Dean Xiao said seriously.
"Communication… Master, is that too cruel? I am a high-level magician!" Wang Feng raised an eyebrow.
"How can you say that! Mingzhu is a friendly school. We just want the Imperial Capital School to know their shortcomings," Dean Xiao said righteously.
"As expected of my master, you are thick-skinned but wise. I will take this task!" Wang Feng said with a smile.
Dean Xiao handed him the list of exchange students: Zhao Manyan, Song Xia, Shen Mingxiao, Mu Nujiao, Luo Song, Mo Fan, Zheng Bingxiao, and Peng Liang. The personnel were mostly the same as in the original timeline, but Bai Tingting was excluded because Wang Feng is a healing mage.
"Okay, go back and get ready," Dean Xiao said, taking off his glasses and rubbing his nose.
"Master, are you tired? I can perform a [Healing Massage] to refresh you!" Wang Feng said, milky-white light flashing in his hand. He gently pressed it on Dean Xiao's shoulders.
Dean Xiao's fatigue vanished quickly. Wang Feng also received a subtle divine insight from the gesture.
"Not bad, not bad. Your healing ability surpasses even the Parthenon," Dean Xiao nodded.
"By the way, Master, I want to practice the healing art in the Black Magic Court Department. Please post a notice allowing all teachers and students to get free physical examinations," Wang Feng said.
Dean Xiao, slightly stunned, quickly wrote the notice and handed it to Wang Feng.
"Wang Feng, also pay attention to Yu Mian," Dean Xiao reminded.
"Of course, that's my dear senior!" Wang Feng replied.
After leaving Dean Xiao's office, Wang Feng looked up at the bright sky, then took out his phone to call Zhao Manyan.
"Godfather, can I do anything for you?" Zhao Manyan's voice was flattering, ready to serve.
"I still have one more spot for the seven-day Three-Step Pagoda training…"
"Ten million!" Zhao Manyan replied immediately.
"Deal!" Wang Feng confirmed.
In the blink of nine days, the exchange students gathered. During this time, Ye Xinxia, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu trained in the Three-Step Pagoda and gained significantly.
Wang Feng stayed in the Black Magic Court Department, giving 'free' physical examinations. Though optional, many students visited out of curiosity, giving Wang Feng opportunities to copy Stardust from the Curse and Poison Departments and acquire several talents:
Puppet: Cast a curse, devours the soul, converts it into a controllable puppet.
Memory Devour: Erases some memories via a curse.
Corruption Poison: Corrodes elemental defenses.
Toxic Resistance: Grants strong resistance to poison.
Corpse Explosion: Detonates summoned undead.
Meanwhile, the little green dragon he had been watching finally hatched, regaining its holy totem skills and shedding its 'undead' limitations.
