After the students of the Luo Shen Cultivation College received a notification that the competition was suddenly canceled, they received the news that there would be a new teacher. The teacher would not replace anyone. Instead, there would be a new course.

There were no actual combat lessons during their first year of studies. Most of the lessons covered theory, such as the human anatomy and how to kill in one hit. At first, everyone thought that they would be fighting and killing everyday in the combat specialization. But this was not the case. The Heavenly Network wanted them to have a strong foundation in their theory.

Suddenly, a new course called “Combat Studies” had been established. The contents of the course were summarized in a few short sentences. “This course will teach actual combat tactics, how to deal with different types of Metahumans, and how to coordinate attacks.”

This was a compulsory course for the combat specialization, but other specializations were welcome to join.

But that was not all. When everyone saw the teacher in charge, they were dumbfounded. “Isn’t that Lord Lu?”

“What! Did the Heavenly Network feel that Lord Lu was so powerful that they allowed him to become a teacher?”

“Someone of the same age as us has become a teacher…”

Suddenly, a student from the combat specialization complained, “I’m afraid that my life will be in danger under him…”

Lord Lu’s dark history had been exposed by Liu Li. There was even supplementary information. For example, some students reported that they had been humiliated by Lord Lu while they were in the Lop Nur remains…

Lord Lu had become demonized, to the point that mentioning his name could probably make a baby cry.

Jokes aside, there was no doubt about Lu Shu’s strength. From Lord Lu’s experience, it was appropriate for him to teach combat. He had experienced far too many battles.

As for coordinating attacks, the flood of bronze was very famous. Although everyone knew that the flood of bronze could sweep away enemies because of Lu Shu’s strength, it was possible that Lu Shu was talented in directing attacks. His reputation aside, everyone felt that it was natural for Lu Shu to become a teacher…

“I feel that we should get used to calling him Teacher Lu. If not, we might get killed for calling him Lord Lu…”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“When is the lesson? No one said anything about that.”

Suddenly, someone saw Coral walking into the training ground. Coral had just paid her respects to Liu Xiu’s tomb at the cemetery. Nie Ting was paying attention to this. It was also precisely because of this that Nie Ting doubted Coral’s memory loss.

Coral looked at everyone. “What is everyone talking about?”

“Lural, you’re here,” greeted someone.

Coral concealed her identity here. The officials from the Heavenly Network only said that she was an exchange student. They did not reveal her identity to prevent any unnecessary trouble. The news that the Master of Gods had come to the Heavenly Network as a student sounded good, but the Heavenly Network did not recruit Class A students.

On the other hand, with Coral’s identity as a Class A, it was easy for her to create a commotion in the Cultivation College. Coral herself did not want to be held up by others all day.

Coral had never made a public appearance. Thus, no one thought much about it when she appeared as Lural. This was a name that she had given herself. She had chosen a Chinese surname. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

When she wanted to call herself Lural, Nie Ting was silent for very long…

Because Coral had a “Luo” in her name ¹ , and because of her beautiful appearance, some students had secretly started to call her Luo Shen ² . The Luo Shen in Luo Shen Cultivation College.

It was said that Luo Shen was the most beautiful goddess in existence ¹ . Although this was a joke, but one could imagine how popular she was in the eyes of the students, especially due to the fact that she could speak fluent Chinese.

Some suspected that Lural was the fabled Coral, but no one could prove this. Furthermore, Coral’s typical strength was that of a Class C. There were machines that could test one’s strength.

Some people held their suspicions, while others discarded them.

Someone once asked Coral why her Chinese was so good. She simply smiled but did not answer. But looking at her bashful expression, everyone could not help but think about what exactly had happened.

“What were you discussing about?” Coral smiled.

“We just received a notification that Lord Lu will be teaching us combat.” Someone said, “I think that we will be tortured.”

When Coral heard this, she was dumbfounded. “Who is Lord Lu?”

“He’s Lu Shu. The one from the combat research specialization. But you might not recognize him. Ha ha. Anyway, your surname is the same as his ¹ …” someone teased. But someone elbowed him. They suddenly realized that there was something wrong with “Lural”…

Everyone looked very worried. Only Coral suddenly looked happy. “Really… we finally have an actual combat class!”

Coral wanted to say, “Really? Lu Shu is going to be our teacher?” But this did not sound too reserved. Thus, she rephrased herself.

Everyone looked at one another helplessly. Only Coral was happy. Everyone was very worried…

But they recalled their suspicions about “Lural”…

Her origins were very mysterious. People would normally not think much about exchange students. At most they would be amazed and say, “Wow! A foreigner!”

There were many cases like this. No one would think that this exchange student had anything to do with the students in their school.

But her surname was Lu, and had a “ral” in her name. No matter whether such names existed overseas, the students would definitely link this to something.

Everyone had been looking through Lu Shu’s dark history. How could they ignore what had happened to Coral and Lu Shu in Europe? It was impossible…

Some students started to discuss secretly. “Do you think Lural is Coral? If she is…”

“Isn’t Coral a Class A? Lural is only a Class C,” said another student.

“Could she be hiding her strength? I want to know what happened between them. I heard that the wedding was supposed to happen near the beach. Coral and Lord Lu killed a few hundred members from the Department of Faith Theory, but there are no other details.”

“Furthermore, after Coral returned, it was as if nothing had happened between them,” said another student. “I understand if you want to treat each other as enemies, or show your affection publicly, but they are treating each other like strangers. I think we have to leave this question open.”

“Let’s see about it. We have no way to prove the truth. The point is, it’s suspicious that they are treating each other like strangers. But this doesn’t discount the possibility that Lural is Coral!”

Coral did not know that many people were still suspicious of her identity. She was happy, but suddenly grew worried… a teacher-student relationship could not happen, right? If she had known this earlier, she would have agreed with Nie Ting’s request to be a teacher.
