Chapter 10: Don’t You Have Any Food at Home?Lu Ping looked at the flying sword in Wei Minghua’s hand.

He recognized the Valiant Dragon 3. Although this standard flying sword wasn’t comparable to the X13, it wasn’t cheap either. It cost at least 13,000 star dollars.

This wasn’t a figure that he could afford.

However, it didn’t seem to mean much to Wei Minghua. He gave it away casually.

The flying sword in front of him flashed with a green metallic light. It was very tempting, especially to Lu Ping, who had never owned his own flying sword before.

Lu Ping was silent for a moment, and a smile hung on his face.

“Thank you, but there’s no need. I won’t be rewarded for nothing.”

Lu Ping politely rejected Wei Minghua.

The reason why Wei Minghua gave Lu Ping the flying sword was because he had his own ideas.

This Lu Ping was someone whom the higher-ups had greeted before. Although he didn’t know why, after all, this child seemed to be poor and destitute.

But from his perfect use of the basic swordsmanship, it could be seen that he was talented and hardworking.

Maybe he was someone that some big shot had taken a fancy to.

Now, it was possible to form a good relationship with him.

But he didn’t expect that Lu Ping would actually refuse.

The two of them looked at each other. Wei Minghua saw that Lu Ping’s eyes were very clear.

He really didn’t want it.

Wei Minghua didn’t force him. He put away the flying sword and said with a smile, “Then work hard. Our institution pays well. It’s not difficult to buy a flying sword.”

“Okay!” Lu Ping agreed.

Seeing Wei Minghua turn around and leave, Lu Ping sighed in his heart.

He liked money and needed money, but he also had his own pride in his heart.

He was a poor man. He had no resources, no background, and nothing to rely on.

Lu Ping didn’t care how others looked at him, because he knew that he couldn’t change others’ eyes and thoughts.

But as a poor man, he had his own pride.

He had the little bit of self-respect left in his heart.

For example, asking for help was a no for him.

If Lu Ping was willing, Wei Minghua might not have refused him when he asked him to help fix the flying sword.

The premise of doing so was that Wei Minghua himself had a certain responsibility in the matter of the flying sword breaking.

Similarly, Lu Ping did not want to accept anyone’s pity and charity.

Of course, there was always a scale in people’s hearts. Nothing was absolute.

If Lu Ping was about to starve to death and someone gave him a piece of cake, would he eat it?

He would definitely eat it!

However, when he could not accept help. Lu Ping still tried his best not to accept help from others.

Just like in Lu Ping’s previous life, many people were willing to do anything for money.

However, most people were still honest and dutiful in their work and life.

They kept a bottom line in their hearts.

Lu Ping remembered that in his previous life, he saw a video of a poor little girl picking up bottles to earn money. Then, passersby gave her money, but she didn’t want it.

Was this stupid?

How could a 6 foot tall man like him calmly accept the charity of others?

Along the way, Lu Ping had received too many looks of disdain and contempt.

However, the pride in his heart had never allowed him to belittle himself.

There were some words that could be said with a bit of glee, and it naturally didn’t matter. However, a person still had to have some backbone and some ambition.

It was fine for a person to be poor, but one couldn’t be poor in heart.

Taking a step back, was taking someone else’s things really taking for free?

A debt of gratitude was the hardest to repay.

“Lu Ping, come take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, just sign it,”the head instructor said with a smile. She was a middle-aged female cultivator.

Lu Ping walked over, picked up the contract, and immediately looked at the salary bar!

,500 star dollars per month!

Seeing this number, Lu Ping didn’t even look at the other terms. He bit his index finger and spirit blood flew into the paper. A spiritual energy rune rose up and condensed in the air before disappearing.

Lu Ping didn’t need to look at the terms because he knew that no matter what the conditions were, he had to agree to them.

Just as the rune dispersed, a notification sounded in Lu Ping’s ears.

“Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for awakening the Teacher’s Path System!”

Lu Ping didn’t have time to look at it and hurriedly walked away. After all, there were still people waiting in line behind him to sign the contract.

He returned to his seat.

Only then did he check the system.

[Host: Lu Ping]

[Level 1: 0/100 Teacher’s Path value]

[Current position: Primary school Basic Swordsmanship instructor]

[Title: None]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Level 1]

[Cultivation Method: General Qi-Inducing art (Grade B)]

[True Qi Strength: 60/200]

[Total True Qi: 620/3500]

[Spell: Spirit Controlling Sword technique (Grade C) – Proficiency F (15/200)]

[Five Elements Basic Technique (No grade) – Proficiency A (580/5000)]

This was the system interface given by the system.

The numbers behind the strength and total amount of genuine Qi represented the maximum strength one could achieve with one’s current cultivation.

As for the numbers behind the teacher’s path value and proficiency, they represented the requirements for promotion.

And there was a column below it, on which was written the disciple’s attributes.

However, it was obvious that Lu Ping didn’t have any disciples at the moment.

Therefore, there was basically nothing at all.

“Ding dong! Begin the system mission to nurture a disciple to obtain the acquired Sword Heart!”

[Acquired Sword Heart: A Sword Heart that is created after tempering. It isn’t easy to obtain and requires great perseverance.]

“After obtaining the Acquired Sword Heart, one’s comprehension speed of sword skills would increase by 30% , and the power of one’s sword attack would increase by 30%.”

Lu Ping sucked in a breath of cold air. The effect of the Acquired Sword Heart was truly powerful.

“After completing the mission, the host will be rewarded with the Innate Sword Heart!”

“The Innate Sword Heart will increase the comprehension speed of sword skills by 50% , and the power of one’s sword attack by 50%!”

When he saw this introduction, Lu Ping was stunned.

Wasn’t this thing too powerful?

How could he have known that the Innate Sword Heart was one in a million? Only those with such talent would be able to catch the eyes of the upper echelons.

Lu Ping’s talent in swordsmanship could be said to be top-notch, but it was only top-notch.

If he was truly comparable to those with Innate Sword Heart, it wouldn’t be much.

“Ding dong! Begin daily missions and perfect the classroom. Host, during a lecture, please allow all of the students to achieve a high level of concentration and comprehension. After completion, the Teacher’s Path value will be awarded 30 points. Students will receive +10 comprehension. Note: Daily tasks will be locked until completion.”

Lu Ping’s confidence increased greatly. No matter what, this was a good start!

At this moment, he saw a pair of red shoes appear in front of him.

Lu Ping raised his head. Huang Xiaoqi was standing in front of him. She asked coldly, “Why didn’t you give me directions today? Didn’t you say that you don’t know where the primary school is? Didn’t you come to the primary school as well?”

She wanted to see how Lu Ping would answer her.

Lu Ping frowned slightly. He didn’t like Huang Xiaoqi’s condescending tone.

He said stiffly, “Miss Huang, you have to understand that if I don’t show you the way, it won’t violate Binhai City’s regulations for cultivators, and it won’t violate the school’s regulations. What about you? What right do you have to question me?”

“Humph!” Huang Xiaoqi snorted. She wasn’t really angry. She just wanted to see if Lu Ping would change after he found out her identity as a teaching supervisor.

But apparently, Lu Ping didn’t change his attitude just because of her identity and came up to flatter her.

Huang Xiaoqi was quite satisfied with this.

She did not like people who were too manipulative.

Hence, Lu Ping suddenly saw that this beautiful lady who was a little angry just a moment ago suddenly laughed,

Huang Xiaoqi’s tone became gentle. “It’s just a misunderstanding. From now on, we are colleagues. Why don’t we have a meal together?”

Lu Ping stood up with a puzzled expression. “Have a meal together? Why? Don’t you have any food at home?”

Lu Ping turned and left, leaving Huang Xiaoqi dumbstruck.
