Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 466 - 440: Honorary Professor

Early morning.

Chen Shouyi, who was fast asleep, vaguely felt something crawling on his back. He instinctively reached out and grabbed a fleshy little thing.

He felt something was wrong and opened his eyes, instantly waking up as his sleep vanished, and he quickly sat up.

"Good giant, you’re squishing the little one," the Shell Lady complained pitifully.

"Oh, sorry, sorry. Do you feel any pain?" Chen Shouyi immediately asked, looking worried.

He weighed quite a bit now, probably around 200 kilograms. Turning over in bed made it creak as if it might fall apart at any moment.

In the past, he would not have slept so soundly. Last night, he tried to forcibly practice the Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Forms, which left him with a pounding headache, dizzy and drowsy. Once he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep.

The Shell Lady pouted, instinctively wanting to cry, but managed to hold back, obediently shook her head:

"The little one doesn’t feel any pain at all!"

"Let me have a look!"

Chen Shouyi, still a bit uneasy, pinched her little arms, her little legs, her little chest...

He carefully checked her body and found that she was indeed fine.

He was just too nervous.

In fact, with the Shell Lady’s current toughness, not to mention his weight of 200 kilograms, even if it were tenfold, it wouldn’t crush her.

"The little one is really impressive, not feeling pain even like this," Chen Shouyi praised.

The Shell Lady, who was initially a bit aggrieved, beamed with joy upon hearing this: "The little one is very strong and can be of help to the good giant. Last time, the little one even killed a very fierce and bad big rat."

This was probably the greatest feat of her lifetime.

"How did you kill it?" Chen Shouyi played along.

"Just like this, one punch was enough. The little one is very brave, not afraid at all!" The Shell Lady waved her little fist proudly.

...

Chen Shouyi played around with the Shell Lady for a while, looked at the time, found it was already four in the morning, and decided not to sleep anymore.

He got up, picked up his sword, and began to practice.

He couldn’t practice the Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Forms and still oneself, but practicing swordplay was no problem.

He practiced swordplay while thinking to himself,

"It’s hard to come home once; it’s better to stay another day before leaving. It’s not urgent for these one or two days anyway."

He practiced until dawn.

Chen Shouyi sheathed his sword, glanced at the glass cabinet, saw the basin of divine blood, and slapped his forehead, almost forgetting about it.

He went to the desk, picked up the phone, and found that the phone line at home had been restored. He immediately dialed the number:

"Hello, Sister Bai? I’m Chen Shouyi!"

"I have some primordial divine blood of a demigod that I need to handle. Please help arrange the laboratory!"

"Your cousin?" Chen Shouyi was taken aback, then hurriedly said, "It’s better not to trouble her."

"Okay!"

Chen Shouyi hung up the phone, went to the bathroom to wash up, and took a cold shower.

He dressed in front of the mirror.

His sturdy and fair-skinned body, with finely toned muscles like countless steel wires, gave off a powerful sensation of strength, emitting a faint aura reminiscent of a fierce beast.

He put on a black T-shirt and light gray cotton sportswear.

Finally, he looked at himself in the mirror.

Recently, he had been fighting every day, forgetting to shave his head, and now his hair had grown back, bristle-like on his scalp.

He touched it, and it made a metallic clang like steel wires.

It seemed much more handsome than a bald head and made him look more spirited!

Of course, he didn’t care about that at all.

"Forget it; it’s too much trouble, better not to shave it," Chen Shouyi hesitated for a moment in his heart, turned, and left the bathroom.

...

Jiangnan University.

The school gate had collapsed halfway during the war, looking dilapidated and desolate.

A large group of people occasionally stood on tiptoes, looking out at the gate.

As the foremost martial artist of Jiangnan Province, Chen Shouyi’s fame was much greater than he imagined. Although the feat of killing a demigod was not publicized for certain reasons, and few people knew outside the upper echelons.

However, his astounding performance in the Hedong recovery war spread far and wide.

Too many people had witnessed it.

Especially the rumor that he could fly, which spread like wildfire.

Upon hearing that this person was going to use the laboratory,

from early morning, the vice-principal of Jiangnan University led a group of people, eagerly waiting in the winter chill.

At this time, several unwillingly dragged in female administrative staff, shivering from the cold, suddenly brightened their eyes, and their bodies stopped shaking:

"So handsome!"

"Very handsome!"

In the distance, a young man in sportswear rode a bicycle swiftly toward them.

Chen Shouyi looked up at the group at the school gate, cycled around the crowd, and rode inside. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Wait!" Bai Xiaoling, sitting on the back seat, immediately said: "General Manager Chen, maybe they’re here to welcome you."

Chen Shouyi, hearing this, was taken aback and braked immediately.

"Screech..."

Blue smoke rose from the soles of his feet.

Bai Xiaoling didn’t expect the bicycle to stop so suddenly after her words, and she was caught off guard. Her whole body pressed tightly against Chen Shouyi’s back, and she almost bumped her chin.

"Sister Bai, sorry, are you okay?" Chen Shouyi immediately apologized.

"Ah, no... I’m fine!" Bai Xiaoling let go of her hands that were clasped around Chen Shouyi with lingering fear.

Seeing Bai Xiaoling was fine, Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief, almost forgetting she was an ordinary person, then curiously said: "Welcoming me? Why would they welcome me!"

It’s just handling a bit of divine blood, using a centrifuge would suffice, a tiny experiment.

"Perhaps the school values it. I called the principal’s office directly!" Bai Xiaoling said, "I’ll go and ask!"

As Chen Shouyi’s liaison, although her level wasn’t high, like a leader’s secretary, she had many implicit privileges.

If she wanted, she could call any department to mobilize the resources Chen Shouyi needed, and usually, they would be fully cooperative.

She got off the bicycle and jogged over.

...

After Bai Xiaoling helped with the introductions,

the vice-principal of Jiangnan University looked at this young and handsome General Manager Chen, who looked like a school student, with a beaming smile: "General Manager Chen, welcome, welcome, I’ve long admired your name, renowned!"

"Hello, Principal Zhu, I’ve long admired Jiangnan University too!" Chen Shouyi extended his hand for a handshake, smiling as he spoke.

This wasn’t just politeness.

A year ago, if he could have been admitted to Jiangnan University, he would have been overjoyed even in his dreams.

Even now, facing such a top university in Great Xia, he maintained respect and often envied the students who could immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge here, unlike himself, who only knew violence and fighting.

If he had a choice between being admitted to Jiangnan University and acquiring the Book of Knowledge,

He... would of course choose the Book of Knowledge.

From being a weakling who couldn’t even beat his sister, to gradually becoming strong, to... invincible in the world, it was truly exhilarating.

Principal Zhu’s smile grew wider at hearing this, and suddenly struck by an idea, he eagerly probed: "How about General Manager Chen honoring us by becoming an honorary professor here? You wouldn’t need to come often, just occasionally when you’re free, give a lecture and share martial arts experiences with the students!"

How about being an honorary professor?

It seems I have a knack for lecturing.

And being called a professor also seems quite enjoyable.

Chen Shouyi hesitated slightly, thinking it wouldn’t waste much time, then said: "Alright!"
