Chapter 153: Chapter 101: Chen Fugui: The Last Lesson, We Cultivators, Why Fear a Fight to the Death!

"Don’t worry about what methods I used. Just tell me whether or not I changed those kids’ lives.

"Judge a person by their actions, not their intentions; if we judged by intentions alone, no one would be perfect. Results are always more convincing than mere words.

"The reason I’m telling you all this today isn’t to brag about how amazing I am, but to tell you one thing..."

At this point, Chen Fugui took a deep breath. Then, with a serious expression, he continued, "...And that thing is: I, Chen Fugui, consider myself a Cultivator of the Immortal Alliance first, a teacher at First High School second, and the son of the richest man last.

"And among the Cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, not a single one would stand by and let the Evil Demon and Heretic Dao slaughter our citizens."

Chen Fugui turned around and slapped the chalkboard hard.

"Whether you are Cultivators first and students second, or students first and Cultivators second—that’s up to you to decide.

"And this final lesson is... We Cultivators have no fear of a fight to the death!

"The enemy is right at our doorstep. Are we really going to hide in here and watch them butcher our Immortal Alliance citizens?

"If you consider yourself a Cultivator first, then come outside with me in a moment to save as many people as possible.

"But if you consider yourself a student first, then stay right here and trust that we will perfectly resolve this crisis.

"However, there’s one thing I must tell you. This incident is unlike any of your previous mock exams. Because once you step outside this time... you really could die.

"So, from a personal perspective, I want all of you to stay safe. After all, you’re still young. It would be a damn shame to die here.

"But from a Cultivator’s perspective, hiding behind ordinary people is a disgrace to our kind. It’s something I absolutely will not allow.

"Regardless of what you choose, I will respect your decision, because this concerns your own lives.

"The only promise I can give you is that if real danger appears, I will be the first to die... After all, what kind of teacher hides behind his students?

"I’ll wait at the door for one minute. Those who are willing can come out. Those who aren’t shouldn’t feel embarrassed. After all, you only get one life.

"Before making your decision, I hope each of you takes a moment to think about your parents and your family. Think about what they would do if something happened to you.

"And once you’ve thought all that through... then make your choice."

With that said, Chen Fugui walked straight out of the classroom and waited quietly.

The students instantly displayed a myriad of reactions. Some furrowed their brows, wanting to stand up but lacking the courage. Some looked ashamed, immediately lowering their heads in their seats and pretending nothing had happened. And some... simply stood up and walked toward the door with expressionless faces.

"Lu, I didn’t think you’d come out," Chen Fugui said.

Standing in the corridor, Lu Chen said calmly, "I didn’t come out for anything else. I just want to collect a debt from them."

Hearing this, Chen Fugui burst into laughter and heavily patted his shoulder. "Good! Then today, let’s... slaughter them until rivers of blood flow!"

Lu Chen didn’t respond. He merely wiped his Ink Flood Dragon Sword expressionlessly, his cold gaze reflected on the black blade.

Although he had already guessed that he was the Black Lotus Sect’s target this time, and he knew that staying in the school was undoubtedly a better choice than leaving, he truly couldn’t bring himself to hide behind others and watch them die because of him. Especially when he had a certain degree of capability.

If he was afraid of death, what kind of Cultivator was he? Besides, it wasn’t certain who would actually die once he went out this time.

Lu Chen looked at the Ink Flood Dragon Sword in his hand. The special item he had obtained after leaving the Antique Strength Hero Dungeon surfaced in his mind.

[Heavenly Dao Fragment (???)]

[Effect: Can negate death once, allowing on-the-spot resurrection.]

A Resurrection Coin. This was the source of Lu Chen’s confidence in directly facing the Black Lotus Sect this time. He really wanted to see if the Black Lotus Sect could take both of his lives.

After a minute of waiting, out of the thirty people in the Human Dao Class, only four—including Lu Chen—ultimately chose to go out with Chen Fugui to save people.

Chen Fugui and Lu Chen were both understanding of this. After all, wanting to live wasn’t shameful. What was shameful was harming others in order to live.

For those who chose to stay inside the school, their primary identity was that of a student. But for people like Lu Chen who were willing to leave, their primary identity was that of an Immortal Alliance Cultivator.

And a Cultivator could never hide behind ordinary people!
