Xiao Xun's brows raised. Just like Duan Lingtian and Su Li, he didn't take Duan Rong seriously either.
Duan Rong was at most a branch family disciple of the Duan Clan.
In terms of status.
Far inferior to him …
"I didn't expect that there would be so many female students."
Tian Hu's gaze fell into the distance. On the other side of the spacious Martial Arts Practice Grounds, a group of female students were gathered there, and it was extremely lively.
As for the group of male students, they were gathered on Duan Lingtian's side.
"Do you know why we're gathered here?"
Duan Lingtian asked the people beside him.
"I don't know. We followed the crowd here."
Tian Hu shook his head. He and Su Li were obviously the same as Duan Lingtian, following others here.
Xiao Xun lightly smiled. "We're gathered here now precisely for the sake of making it easier for us to choose a faction … In a while, when almost everyone has arrived, a teacher will come over. At that time, we'll have to face an important choice in our lives. "
Paladin Academy. The two great factions walked on completely different paths ….
And Paladin Academy's teaching for the two great factions would be completely different as well.
"Speaking of choosing a faction, have you guys decided which faction to choose?"
Tian Hu's eyes lit up as he asked Duan Lingtian and the others.
"Xiao Xun and I both choose the Star Mastermind Department."
Xiao Yu lightly smiled. Xiao Xun nodded as well, and a wisp of a sheen of wisdom flashed within his eyes.
"Then you guys are different from me. I've decided to choose the Star General Department."
Tian Hu grinned.
"I can tell."
Duan Ling Tian sized Tian Hu up with a glance before laughing loudly.
"Are you for real? You wouldn't be giving advice after the fact, right? Then tell me, what faction will Su Li choose? “
Tian Hu asked again.
"Is there even a need to ask? Naturally, he'll choose the same Star General Department as you."
Duan Lingtian said as a matter of course.
Su Li was like a sharp sword with an oppressive sharpness. If such a person were to enter the battlefield, he would absolutely be a killing machine that could cause the enemy to tremble in fear.
"Su Li, you wouldn't really choose the Star General Department as well, right?"
Tian Hu asked.
"What? You have an opinion?"
Su Li's gaze was like a sword as he stared at Tian Hu.
"What can I say? I'm just a little surprised …"
Tian Hu smiled awkwardly. If it was said that he could still compete with Su Li when he had just arrived at the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp, the current him had already been left far behind by Su Li.
"Duan Lingtian, what about you? You should be the same as me and Su Li, choosing the 'Star General Department', right? "
As Tian Hu spoke.
The gazes of Su Li, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun all descended upon Duan Lingtian.
Under the gazes of the four people, Duan Lingtian slowly spat out three words, "Star Prime Minister!"
Star Mastermind Department?
They were a little surprised. They felt that with Duan Lingtian's strength, it was a waste for him to enter the Star Mastermind Department …
Duan Lingtian only shook his head and smiled at their surprise.
In his previous life, he was a powerful Weapon Specialist, and the set he learned was no different from the set of 'Star General'.
In this life, if he were to choose the Star General Department, it would be meaningless.
Therefore, he chose the Star Mastermind Department!
"The teachers of Paladin Academy have arrived."
Duan Lingtian's sharp eyes noticed two middle-aged men walking over from afar.
At the same time, near the group of female students on the other side, two young women walked towards them. They were obviously teachers of Paladin Academy as well.
"Hello everyone, I'm a teacher of Paladin Academy's Star General Department. My name is Niu Mang."
Between the two middle-aged men, the robust man with a curly beard had a voice that was like a thunderclap, causing the eardrums of some of the students near him to hurt.
"This Niu Mang should have cultivated a martial skill similar to the Lion's Roar."
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised.
Within the offensive martial skills, there was a type of unorthodox martial skill called Sound Attack Martial Skills.
Normally, only martial artists at the Nascent Soul Stage and above were able to display the true might of a Sound Attack Martial Skill. In actual combat, it could catch the opponent off guard and cause them to lose focus for an instant …
When two people fought, sometimes, the instant they lost focus was enough to decide the outcome!
"Hello everyone, I'm a teacher of the Star Mastermind Department, Sima Chang Feng."
Compared to Niu Mang, the other middle-aged man seemed to be extraordinarily refined. He was dressed like a scholar, wore a silk headband on his head, held a feather fan in his hand, and had a graceful bearing.
"Now, students who have chosen to enter the Star General Department, come behind me …. Students who have chosen to enter the Star Mastermind Department, come behind Teacher Sima."
Niu Mang spoke once more and went straight to the point.
Instantly, the group of male students started moving ….
"See you later, the three of you."
Tian Hu greeted Duan Lingtian's group of three, and Su Li nodded to the three of them as well. The two of them left together and went behind Niu Mang.
As for Duan Lingtian's group of three, they glanced at each other before going behind Sima Chang Feng.
"There are so few people in the Star Mastermind Department?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at the Star General Department, then glanced at his surroundings and was slightly surprised.
There were a total of 160 students in Paladin Academy this year ….
Amongst them, there were around 100 male students.
Currently, there were more than eighty male students in the 'Star General' Department.
As for the Star Mastermind Department that Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun were in, there were less than 20 people.
Sima Chang Feng and Niu Mang were obviously not surprised by this result.
"Students who have chosen the Star Mastermind Department, follow me."
Under Sima Chang Feng's call, Duan Lingtian's group of three and the other ten plus Star Mastermind Department students followed Sima Chang Feng's footsteps.
As for the Star General Department students, they stayed where they were.
"Even if you choose the Star Mastermind Department, you still won't be able to escape death!"
Within the group of Star General Department students, Duan Rong was shockingly among them. His eyes focused as he gazed at Duan Lingtian's departing figure, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring ….
Duan Lingtian's group of Star Mastermind Department students were brought into a spacious classroom by Sima Chang Feng.
Within the classroom, tables and chairs were all available.
"Sit."
Sima Chang Feng walked up to the podium and lightly nodded to the 18 people that followed him in.
Duan Lingtian followed suit and sat down.
Sima Chang Feng's gaze swept past Duan Lingtian and the others as he slowly said, "From today onwards, I'm the teacher of this year's Star Mastermind Department students …. I'll teach you all how to become a qualified Star Mastermind!"
"Now, which one of you can tell me what a Star Mastermind is?"
As Sima Chang Feng spoke these words, his calm gaze abruptly changed, becoming incomparably wise and farsighted.
And at the instant Sima Chang Feng finished speaking, a student stood up and said, "A Star Mastermind is hidden behind a veil, possessing outstanding wisdom. During times of peace and prosperity, it can rule the world. During times of war, it can devise strategies and control everything. It can annihilate the enemy with a smile!"
Including Duan Lingtian, the gazes of the other 17 students all descended upon this student.
"Too shameless! Aren't these the words that introduce the Star Mastermind Department in the student handbook? "
"This is possible?"
Many students were speechless.
Sima Chang Feng pressed down with his hand, allowing the student to sit down, and said indifferently, "Correct, just like these words on the student handbook …. Outstanding wisdom and devising strategies are the foundation of a Star Mastermind! In the following days, what I'll teach you all in the Star Mastermind Department is how to become a qualified Star Mastermind! "
"You all must remember, a Star Mastermind can allow a General to be invincible in battle, and can also annihilate a General! Sometimes, a single decision of a Star Mastermind will determine the life and death of a General. "
As he spoke to this point, Sima Chang Feng's expression became serious.
Duan Lingtian deeply agreed with Sima Chang Feng's words.
If it was said that a General was a martial artist's four limbs that could be used to execute martial skills and dodge attacks ….
Then, a Star Mastermind was a martial artist's eyes that could see through everything, and was especially important!
"Today, the first lesson I'll give you all is how to deal with one of the situations on the battlefield."
Sima Chang Feng's gaze was filled with wisdom as he slowly asked, "If the enemy is strong while I'm weak, and the enemy is in the dark while I'm in the light …. Besides the most straightforward sneak attack, what strategy can be used to cause the enemy to collapse?"
"The enemy is strong while I'm weak, and the enemy is in the dark while I'm in the light?"
Besides Duan Lingtian's eyes that flickered as if he had a card up his sleeve, the remaining students all muttered to themselves as they ceaselessly pondered.
"Hmm?"
Sima Chang Feng's gaze quickly descended onto Duan Lingtian.
He'd noticed this student long ago. A youth around the age of 18 was especially conspicuous within a group of 20 year old youths.
Now that he saw the youth's performance, his heart jerked. "Could it be that he thought of a strategy so quickly?"
"Student, looking at your appearance of knowing everything, have you already thought of a strategy?"
After a short moment, Sima Chang Feng's gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian as he asked.
For a moment, all the students, including Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, looked at Duan Lingtian ….
"He can think of a strategy?"
"You're joking, right? He looks like a young brat, what strategy could he have?"
Some of the students glanced at Duan Lingtian and disapproved.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he stood up and said bluntly, "If I encounter such a situation, I'll use the strategy of 'Crossing the Ocean by Deception.' I'll intentionally use disguises to confuse and deceive the enemy over and over again, causing the enemy to lower their guard. Then I'll suddenly take action, thus achieving the goal of obtaining victory."
If there were people from China from his previous life here, they would be able to react in an instant ….
What Duan Lingtian said now was precisely the first strategy of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, 'Crossing the Ocean by Deception'!
Sima Chang Feng's pupils constricted.
Actually, he didn't think that this violet-clothed youth would be able to come up with a good strategy. But now, the strategy the violet-clothed youth spoke of happened to coincide with his thoughts in some areas, causing him to be unable to help but be slightly shocked ….
Is this really only an 18 year old youth?
"Crossing the Ocean by Deception …. Brilliant! Brilliant! "
After Xiao Xun finished listening to what Duan Lingtian said, he carefully pondered over it for a moment and was the first to react. He couldn't help but praise.
"This …."
Some of the students who previously looked down on Duan Lingtian were stunned as well. They had to admit that this was indeed a brilliant strategy.
After all, anyone who was deceived over and over again would lower their guard.
This was human nature!
"Good, good …. What a 'Crossing the Ocean by Deception'!"
