vrcanaries Chapter 163 Punishment
Chapter 163 Punishment
After carefully checking several times and finding no problems, Teacher Ouyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Releasing Wei Chaoyan's wrist, he stared intently at the row of bowed, dark heads in front of him, his brows stern and icy. His lips moved several times as if he wanted to say something, but considering they had grown up considerably and were at an age where they cared about their image, he knew that nagging or repeating the same old things would easily provoke their rebellious nature.
He then succinctly pointed out the mistakes they had made, stating bluntly that any slight deviation in any of these mistakes could have led to disastrous consequences. Hearing this, Wei Chaoyan and the others lowered their heads even further, wishing they could dig a hole in the ground and crawl inside immediately!
After saying this, Teacher Ouyang saw the ashamed looks on Wei Chaoyan and the others' faces and knew they had taken it all to heart. He then changed the subject and announced the punishment for them in a deep voice: 1. Copy the "Great Compendium of Cultivation" (a great compendium of cultivation that China has painstakingly compiled by spending countless resources, searching through all the Taoist, Buddhist and martial arts classics in the country, drawing on relevant information from other countries, and integrating the common knowledge of demonic cultivation provided by Wei Chaoyan and Lan Zhan, refining and summarizing it. The punishment is only copying the first edition; the Chinese research team is still revising and adding content, totaling ninety-eight pages, or about three million four hundred and fifty-six thousand words) ten times, and submit it within fifteen days;
2. Ten copies of the "Learning Space Code of Conduct" (a code of conduct compiled by the Chinese government, modeled after the rules and mottoes of major universities and adapted to the actual situation, to better manage those entering the learning space; consisting of 56 articles and 1,500 words) must be submitted within three days.
3. Punishment: Two hours of additional physical training every day for three months;
4. Every two days, an additional two-hour illusionary training session will be added as punishment. The content of the illusionary training session will be determined by the teacher, and the training will last for three months.
After announcing this, Teacher Ouyang glared at him and shouted, "Did you hear that clearly?"
The group of people, who had been hanging their heads dejectedly like quails, suddenly straightened up and shouted, "Did you hear me?!"
"Did you understand?"
"I understand!!!"
"Alright, now that you understand," Teacher Ouyang's tone suddenly rose eight octaves, "what are you all still dawdling about? Hurry up and go!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Wei Chaoyan and the others jumped up in surprise. They bowed to the stern-faced Teacher Ouyang, stood up, and ran away without hesitation.
As they fled in panic, Teacher Ouyang called out, "Wei Chaoyan and Wei Ying, stay here!"
Upon hearing this, the two stumbled and stopped abruptly, their bodies stiffening as they slowly turned around, revealing two bitter faces that looked like they wanted to cry but couldn't, facing Teacher Ouyang's serious expression.
Seeing this, the others also stopped and looked at the three of them hesitantly. Those who had originally wanted to stay with them all gave up the idea of staying under Teacher Ouyang's almost tangible, piercing warning gaze and left awkwardly.
Only Lan Zhan stood motionless, seemingly oblivious, his lips pressed tightly together, his light blue eyes, filled with worry, fixed on the three people standing opposite him, stubbornly refusing to leave!
Seeing that Lan Zhan refused to leave, Teacher Ouyang's gaze became even more piercing. Lan Zhan raised his eyes and met his gaze without yielding an inch. Their eyes met for a moment, and seeing that he had not wavered in the slightest, Teacher Ouyang finally softened and looked away. His frosty eyebrows softened a little, and he finally acquiesced to his presence.
"Wei Chaoyan, Wei Ying... Lan Zhan, accompany your teacher to Pugui Garden (the largest research laboratory in the space, where two of the resident staff are highly skilled in medicine, and it is also the most comprehensive and profound research laboratory on cultivation)." Teacher Ouyang said coldly.
Wei Chaoyan, Wei Ying, and Lan Zhan dared not utter a sound. They all lowered their heads and obediently followed Teacher Ouyang, heading together towards Pugui Garden, located in the northwest of the space.
******************************
Wei Chaoyan and the other eight—yes, even little Qingyan wasn't spared this punishment. They rushed to finish just before the deadline set by Teacher Ouyang, their hands trembling like leaves, their faces ashen, as they handed over the copybook and rules they were to be punished with.
That's not all. The punishment of copying is finished, but there are still two other additional punishments that haven't been completed yet!
Just thinking about the consecutive additional punishments that would follow after the long lecture made Wei Chaoyan and the others want to reach out and wipe away the long, wide tears on their faces!
"Sister~~~ My hand hurts~~~" Wei Ying cried, holding his aching little hand with tears in his eyes, looking at Wei Chaoyan with regret.
Wei Chaoyan, who had been called, glanced back at him helplessly and said weakly, "Aying, why don't you and Azhan help each other rub it? Your older sister wants to rub Qingyan's paws..."
Qi Ye, who wished he could turn back time to the moment when they all acted foolishly, and poured out all the water in his and everyone else's brains, frowned, pursed his lips, and silently walked to the other side, rubbing Qing Yan's right hand.
Two steps behind, Zhao Yumin and the other two also hung their heads and twisted their wrists left and right, trying to dispel the nightmare of being punished to write and copy for many days.
After a long while, the group, having calmed down a bit, gradually stopped what they were doing. Su Youjin, the most composed of them, sighed softly and said with a worried expression, "Let's go, class is about to start, we can't be late!"
The mere mention of class reminds everyone of the two additional punishments that follow, making them want to explode on the spot!
The first physical punishment was alright; it just left me physically exhausted, like I'd been skinned alive for a while. I could grit my teeth and get through it, and a little rest would do the trick. It even improved my physique and reflexes. But the second punishment, the illusion punishment, was truly, truly an indescribably terrible trap! o(≧口≦)o!
I wonder if the teacher who set up the illusions was determined to teach them a big lesson. All the illusions revolve around the theme of "what terrible consequences will reckless actions cause," and they have set up all sorts of illusion content in various ways. In them, they will encounter a series of bad consequences caused by their reckless and careless choices. Not only will they feel the pain of being killed by their own stupid behavior, but they will also have to face the tragic reality that their loved ones and other innocent bystanders will suffer bad consequences because of their inappropriate behavior!
That's not all. What's even more infuriating is that the teacher, who was watching from outside the illusion, would maliciously record all these foolish acts and then play them in front of everyone after class the next day, calling on each student to stand up and give their profound comments on the behavior shown on the screen!
Oh my god! This is nothing short of a brutal crushing and beating, both physically and mentally!
The punishment made Wei Chaoyan and the others deeply realize their mistakes and remember them well—think thrice before you act, and never act rashly on impulse, because the consequences will be very serious!
