Chapter 72 Secret (Ch 72)

“Oh? Go ahead.”

Zhou Ke found a small stool and sat down:

“I always value your advice.”

“But…” He smiled playfully: “Whether they will do it or not is another matter.”

【……】

“Tell me, what is the deepest secret in my heart?”

Seeing that the skull seemed a little speechless, Zhou Ke took the initiative to start a conversation in order to take care of the fragile and young mind of this god.

[Of course it’s your cold-blooded and ruthless nature. ]

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows:

“Are you a very righteous god who looks down on people like me?”

[Of course not. I generally don’t like to make any comments on human values.]

【However, I actually admire your character. 】

[To be self-interested to the greatest extent possible, but without losing all humanity. ]

[This allows you to be able to do both good and evil with ease. ]

“Okay, big-eyed skull, stop kissing my ass.”

“Tell me quickly, what is the prophecy about my cold-blooded nature?”

The skull paused, as if thinking about how to organize the words:

[Your next class is the “Red Heart Series” God Card Basic Course. ]

【And the red heart is naturally related to the spiritual world. 】

[In this class, there is a high probability that you will be exposed in front of the whole class——]

[Your extremely dark, cold-blooded, and selfish character.]

After hearing this, Zhou Ke chuckled:

“That’s it?”

The skull seemed to have anticipated Zhou Ke’s reaction, and he changed his words:

【This classmate…】

[You don’t want everyone to know that you deliberately fed Tang Xin the poison, right? ]

[You don’t want everyone to know the secret of your magic tricks at the welcome party, right? ]

[In the eyes of the whole school, you are the most handsome and charming person in the school, and a top student with excellent character and academic performance. ]

[It is probably better not to expose these somewhat dark stories. ]

Zhou Ke thought about it for a moment and felt that what the Prophet’s Skull said made sense.

After all, a more noble personality can make you have a better reputation in the whole school.

It will make professors and classmates like you more, and you will be more comfortable in campus socializing.

It’s best not to let anyone know these little secrets in your heart.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ke immediately straightened up:

“Master! Please teach me!”

“What will happen in tomorrow’s class?”

“What should I do?”

The Prophet’s Skull seemed very satisfied with Zhou Ke’s attitude:

【Well, this young man is teachable. 】

【The content of tomorrow’s class is related to “mind”. 】

【You will naturally learn the specific content in class. 】

【As for how to avoid revealing your inner secrets…】

[Give you eight words——]

【Relax your whole body and give up resistance. 】

Relax your whole body…

Give up resistance?

When Zhou Ke first heard it, he still didn’t fully understand it.

Just as he was about to ask further questions, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Then he nodded and said:

“I see.”

“If something happens in tomorrow’s class, I will…”

“Relax your whole body and give up resistance.”

……

the next day.

Zhou Ke already had experience going out after his previous experience traveling at school.

He wrapped himself tightly and wore a mask, so tightly that even his own mother couldn’t recognize him.

……But some classmates still recognized me.

“Isn’t this Zhou Ke?”

“It seems so!”

“Ahhhh, your walking posture is so handsome that I’m dying!!!”

On the roadside, countless fans seemed to recognize him, screaming and surrounding him to ask for his autograph.

Zhou Ke sighed, quickened his pace, and quickly got rid of them.

After the magic show at the welcome party, Zhou Ke has become famous not only among the freshmen.

Even among senior students, there are fan groups of their own.

There is even an official website of the Zhou Ke Fan Club on the campus intranet.

The above lists Zhou Ke’s achievements:

Of common origin.

Magical genius.

The only plum blossom series in Longguo.

Owner of letter cards.

Great magician.

The new king escapes from the Skull and Bones Society.

…and so on.

There are quite a few active users on the site.

They were all discussing Zhou Ke’s appearance, past, and various deeds crazily, and some even offered a high reward to buy Zhou Ke’s underwear.

Even Zhang Yang joked that Zhou Ke had completely replaced Zhuang Xingyao’s natural charm and made her the real succubus in the school.

After dodging the fanatical group of fans, Zhou Ke finally arrived at the classroom.

“Please take a seat.” Professor Yuan Xing usually wouldn’t give a good look to people who were late, but when he saw it was Guest Zhou, he made an exception and said nothing.

After all, Zhou Ke had saved his life once in the last class.

After Zhou Ke sat down, Professor Yuan Xing cleared his throat:

“This class is the [Red Heart] Basics of Supernatural Powers class. As per usual practice, the principal will personally teach the elite class.”

“But the principal is still busy with personal matters, so I am still filling in for him.”

There was a quiet whisper in the class.

“Quiet!”

Yuan Xing knocked on the table and said majestically:

“I know what you’re thinking.”

“You are thinking: Isn’t Professor Yuan Xing a Spade Master? Is it appropriate for him to teach the Hearts course?”

The crowd fell silent, waiting for Yuan Xing’s next words.

Yuan Xing looked around and confirmed that everyone was concentrating, then continued:

“Although I am indeed specialized in the power of spades and have a deep understanding of it, I don’t know as much as other professors about the divine cards of other suits.”

“But it’s more than enough to teach you young boys who are inexperienced in the world.”

Professor Yuan Xing took out a crystal ball from under the podium and placed it on the stage.

“Who can tell me what this thing is?”

There was silence for a moment.

Professor Yuan Xing saw this and added:

“This class will be the same as last time. Your performance points will be calculated.”

“Those with higher scores will also receive a reward.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingtian quickly raised his hand:

“Professor, this thing is called a [Magic Weapon], which is equivalent to a man-made divine tablet.”

“As long as the magic element of the corresponding god card is injected, the function of the corresponding god card can be temporarily exerted.”

“However, the effects of magic weapons are very limited. In fact, many people are simply unable to use magic weapons effectively.”

“To them, a magic weapon is no different from a spherical brick.”

Yuan Xing nodded:

“Very good, you are worthy of being the third best student in the class. It seems that you have memorized the knowledge from the last class.”

Ye Lingtian showed a smug expression.

“However, I mentioned a point in the last class, but I didn’t emphasize it. I wonder if anyone of you still remembers it?”

After this question was raised, no one in the class responded.

Some students even lowered their heads and studied their desks.

Seeing this, Zhou Ke raised his mouth slightly and raised his hand directly:

“Professor, I wonder if you mean—”

“Magic resonance?”
