Chapter 0039: The Orc Natt

“A director? A dean?” Huang Long said slowly.
Tang Wudi nodded with a smile; it seemed the boy had understood.
“What’s the difference?” Huang Long’s next question made the smiles on Tang Wudi and his companions freeze.
Indeed, no matter what their status was, it made no difference to Huang Long.
A Holy Land? A Divine Realm? Even the Light Supreme God was the same in Huang Long’s eyes.
“To become a disciple? I’m not interested. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Huang Long glanced at Tang Wudi and his group. Their expressions were strange, while Ma Jiang and the others standing by had even more varied reactions.
Even after Huang Long left the conference hall, Tang Wudi and his group remained stunned.
Yang Zhen was the most angry. Once he recovered, he slapped the table angrily. “Hmph! Not interested? What nonsense! This kid is so ignorant as to disregard us—he’s too arrogant!”
Who did they think they were? Even without mentioning their status as deans of the academy, just the title of powerful beings from a Holy Land would be enough to make countless people fight to become their disciples. Seeing that this kid was a genius, they had lowered their pride and tried to take him as a disciple, yet this kid dared to reject them!
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing!
Ren Zhongqing sneered, “It seems we old folks were overthinking things. But Old Hong, since no one has gotten him yet, isn’t that even better?”
Yang Zhen snorted coldly.
Yu Qi remained smiling and said calmly, “Send someone to investigate this kid’s background.”
Tang Wudi relaxed and nodded with a smile. “Old Yu is right. I’m even more interested in this kid now. I really want to know whose child he is.”
Ouyang Hai laughed, “It was us who assumed too much. Becoming a disciple is a mutual decision. Not everyone cares about our status.”
At that moment, a council member of the academy walked in from the entrance, beaming with joy. “Deans, another super genius has appeared in Test Area 56!”
Tang Wudi and his group were stunned, then delighted. “Tell us.”
……
Huang Long left the conference hall, ignoring the complex expressions of Ma Jiang and the others. He took Bog back to the manor.
By the time Huang Long returned to the manor, the news that he had rejected Tang Wudi and his group’s offer to take him as a disciple spread like a storm throughout every corner of the Divine Wind Academy.
A super genius with top-tier affinity in all elements and exceptional mental strength had rejected Tang Wudi and his group as mentors!
Wow! The entire Divine Wind Academy was in an uproar.

This is an extremely forbidden curse—something that hasn’t happened at Divine Wind Academy in thousands of years! Tang Wudi, Yang Zhen, Ouyang Hai, Yu Qi, and Ren Zhongqing are regarded as supreme and mysterious beings among all the teachers and students at Divine Wind Academy. No one dares to defy their will. Yet today, a freshman—actually, barely a prospective freshman—refused the opportunity offered by Tang Wudi and the others to become their disciple! This is undoubtedly a huge news story for everyone at Divine Wind Academy. Especially those teachers and students who witnessed Huang Long’s test results were utterly incredulous upon hearing this news. Could this genius child really give up such a great opportunity? Many people laughed at him, mocked him, or took pleasure in his misfortune, while others felt sorry for him. When Little Witch Zhao Ying heard about it, she frowned and said, “How can he be so stupid? If Aunt Rong finds out, she’ll definitely scold him to death!” After all, Huang Long was her cousin, and she felt regretful to hear that he had missed such a good chance. Lin Na’s emotions were even more complex. Of course, Huang Long, who had returned to the manor from Divine Wind Academy, was unaware of all this. After returning, he went to the backyard and saw the orc Natt leading other orcs in combat training. Huang Long nodded in approval. He had already examined these ten orc slaves with his spiritual sense when selecting them; their physical constitutions were perfect for practicing the Xuanwu Art. Coupled with the pills he had taken over the past few months, his cultivation level had improved rapidly. “Young master, that Natt—I think his background is complicated,” Bog said from behind Huang Long. “I know that. But no matter what his background is, it doesn’t matter to me. As long as he’s loyal, that’s enough,” Huang Long replied, glancing at Natt on the training ground. When Huang Long bought Natt from the slave market, he noticed that Natt was different from the other orc slaves. No matter how much he tried to hide it, his aura of a superior couldn’t be concealed. Moreover, Natt was already a level six warrior when Huang Long bought him. A level six warrior was considered a master in many small towns. Even the guards of families like the Huang family were mostly only at level six. Yet Natt was sold as a slave at the same price as the others—there must be some interesting story behind that. But since Natt never revealed his identity, Huang Long didn’t ask. When Natt saw Huang Long and Bog arrive, he quickly stopped the other orc slaves and rushed over, bowing respectfully, “Master, Lord Bog!”

Borg was a mighty being of the Holy Land, and they knew it. Everyone felt reverence for such powerful figures. As for the mysterious master, the Yellow Dragon, who stood even above Borg, they not only revered him but also worshipped him just as much as Borg did.
The Yellow Dragon stepped forward and nodded. “It’s fine. I just came by to take a look. Nat, you all have worked very hard in your training. I’ve seen that over these months. From now on, each of you will receive ten gold coins.”
If these orc slaves hadn’t trained so hard, even with the Yellow Dragon’s medicinal pills, their cultivation levels wouldn’t have improved so rapidly. Now that they were already at level six, their rewards naturally needed to increase.
The Yellow Dragon didn’t care much about the amount of money, but it couldn’t be given too much either—there had to be some hope to keep them motivated.
“Ten gold coins!” The orc slaves were overjoyed.
Previously, five gold coins would have been a tremendous gift to them, but now their master said they could receive ten! Tears welled in their eyes as they happily said, “Thank you, master!”
Nat’s eyes shone even brighter. It wasn’t just the thought of receiving ten gold coins each month that made him happy, but also the Yellow Dragon’s recognition of him.
Originally, he had been sold into the slave market and thought his life would end there. But meeting a master like the Yellow Dragon gave him hope.
“Nat, this heavy sword is my reward for you reaching level seven,” said the Yellow Dragon. A heavy sword appeared out of thin air in his hand and was thrown to the orc Nat.
Nat received the sword respectfully, feeling its weight in his arms, and said with delight, “Thank you, master.” He knew that the magic sword that had been auctioned off was crafted by his master.
“Well, when you all reach level seven, I’ll have additional rewards for you as well,” the Yellow Dragon continued, seeing the envious looks from the other orc slaves.
The orc slaves’ eyes gleamed as they responded loudly.
