Xiao Xun's brows were knitted, but similar to Duan Ling Tian and Su Li, he did not pay attention to Duan Rong, because Duan Rong was at most a Branch Family disciple of the Duan Clan, he was not paying attention to Duan Rong, and thus far from being comparable to him in terms of status…


“I didn't think that there would be so many female students.” Tian Hu's gaze descended upon the bustling group of female students gathered on the other side of the vast Martial Arts Practice Field. As for the male students, they were gathered near Duan Ling Tian's group.


"Do you know what we're gathering here for?" Duan Ling Tian asked.


“No, we also followed the crowd,” Tian Hu shook his head. He and Su Li were obviously similar to Duan Ling Tian and followed the others to arrive here.


Xiao Xun smiled lightly as he said, "We are gathered here now on grounds to make it easier for us to choose our department. In a short time, when almost everyone gathered, a teacher would come. At that time, we will be faced with important choices in our lives. "


The two departments in the Paladin Academy stepped on two different paths. Moreover, the curriculum that Paladin Academy offered for the two departments was also very different.


"Speaking about choosing a department, do you all decide on your department?" Tian Hu's eyes shone as he asked Duan Ling Tian and the others.


Xiao Yu smiled lightly as he said, “Xiao Xun and I chose the Star Mastermind Department.” Xiao Xun nodded, and his eyes shone with a gleam of wisdom.


"Then you two are different from me. I decided to choose the Star General Department," Tian Hu smirked.


“We know.” Duan Ling Tian looked at Tian Hu with a glance before laughing.


"really? You're not just making pretentious statements, are you? Then tell me, what department did Su Li choose?" Tian Hu asked.


"Isn't it clear? He will naturally choose the Star General Department like you," Duan Ling Tian said, in a flat tone.


Su Li was like a sharp sword with a suppressing spirit,; if such a person were on the battlefield, he would actually become a killing machine and cause the enemy forces to become fearful.


"Su Li, you didn't really choose the Star General Department either, did you?" Tian Hu asked.


"What, got a problem?" Su Li's gaze was like a sword as he stared at Tian Hu.


"What problem will I have? I was just a little surprised ..." Tian Hu laughed embarrassedly. If it was said that he who had just arrived at the Iron Blood Force Genius Camp that day could still compete with Su Li at that moment, then, then at this moment he was already far behind by Su Li.


"Duan Ling Tian, what about you? You should probably be the same as Su Li and I and choose the Star General Department, right?" Tian Hu asked, and followed by his question, the gazes of Su Li, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun all descended on Duan Ling Tian.


Under the gaze of the four people, Duan Ling Tian's mouth only slowly spat out three words: "Star Mastermind Department!"


The Star Mastermind Department?


They were all a little surprised and felt that with Duan Ling Tian's strength, it would be completely useless if he entered the Star Mastermind Department …


Duan Ling Tian simply shook his head while smiling at their surprised reaction.


In his previous life, Duan Ling Tian was a formidable weapons specialist, so what he specialized in was no different from what the Star General Department taught. So, in this life, if he were to once again choose the Star General Department, it would be useless.


Therefore, he chose the Star Mastermind Department!


“The teachers of Paladin Academy have arrived.” Duan Ling Tian's sharp gaze noticed the two middle-aged men walking quickly from afar.


At the same time, there were two young women walking into the group of female students. They were obviously teachers of the Paladin Academy as well.


"Good day, everybody. I am the teacher for the Star General Department of Paladin Academy, Niu Mang." Among the two middle-aged men, the sound of the burly bearded man was like a burst of thunder, causing the student earbuds close by.


"This Niu Mang might be cultivating a martial skill similar to the roar of a lion." Duan Ling Tian was a little surprised.


Among offensive martial skills, there is a subsection of outliers called healthy martial skills. In general, only a martial artist on or above the Nascent Soul Stage is capable of displaying the true strength of a healthy martial skill, and during actual combat, the, an unexpected attack using a good martial skill would be able to inflict a daze of seconds on the opponent. Sometimes, during a battle, a daze of seconds was more than enough to decide the outcome!


"Good day, everybody. I am the teacher of the Star Mastermind Department, Sima Chang Feng." Compared to Niu Mang, the other middle-aged man was clearly more refined and outstanding; he was dressed like a scholar, with a silk headdress and a fur fan in his hand, and have a very graceful attitude.


"Now, the students who chose the Star General Department, are gathered behind me. And those who chose the Star Mastermind Department, gathered behind Sima's teacher." Niu Mang spoke once again and headed straight for the subject.


Immediately, the group of male students began to move.


“See the trio later.” Tian Hu greeted Duan Ling of Tian's three-man group and Su Li nodded to them as well before the two of them went to gather behind Niu Mang.


As for the group of three Duan Ling Tian, they glanced at each other before heading to gather behind Sima Chang Feng.


"So few people for the Star Mastermind Department?" Duan Ling Tian glanced at the Star General Department meeting, then he looked around himself and was a little surprised.


Sima Chang Feng and Niu Mang were obviously not surprised by this result.


“Students who choose Star Mastermind Department, follow me.” Under Sima Chang Feng's call, Duan Ling Tian's group of three and the other Star Mastermind Department students followed behind.


As for the Star General Department's students, they instead remained in place.


"Even if you choose the Star Mastermind Department, you cannot escape death!" Duan Rong was among the Star General Department's group of students, and her eyes were staring at the figure of Duan Ling Tian who disappeared with strong killing intent …


Duan Ling Tian and the new group of students were brought into the spacious classroom by Sima Chang Feng.


“Sit.” Sima Chang Feng walked up the podium and slightly nodded to the 18 people who entered the classroom.


Duan Ling Tian also sat down.


Sima Chang Feng's gaze swept past the group of youths before slowly saying, "From today onwards, I am the teacher for the Star Mastermind Department for your year. I'll teach you how to be a standard-compliant mastermind!"


"Now, which one of you can tell me what a mastermind is?" Sima Chang Feng's calm gaze suddenly turned to be filled with wisdom as he spoke.


As soon as Sima Chang Feng finished speaking, a student stood up and said, "A puppeteer is someone who is hidden behind the scenes and possesses extraordinary wisdom. During peacetime, he was able to govern the land beneath him, whereas during wartime , he was able to map out strategy and control everything, annihilating the enemy forces with the least effort possible! " The gazes of all the students present, including Duan Ling Tian, fell onto the young man.


"Too shameless! Isn't this the introduction in the student handbook?"


"That works?"


Many students are silent.


Sima Chang Feng pressed his hand to signal for the students to sit back down before saying nonchalantly, "Persis, as the student handbook says. Having incredible wisdom and mapping out strategies is the core of the mastermind! In your upcoming days within the Star Mastermind Department, what I'm going to teach you all is how to become a mastermind that meets the standards! "


"All of you must remember that a mastermind can make the general invincible, but in the same way can also make a general exterminated! Sometimes, one decision from the mastermind can decide the fate of the general." In essence, Sima Chang Feng's expression became solemn.


Duan Ling Tian strongly agreed with what Sima Chang Feng said. If you consider a general as a member of a martial artist, who is used to execute martial skills and avoid attacks, then the puppeteer will be the eye of a martial artist, who is able to gain insight into everything. This is so important!


“Today, the first class I will give you is exactly about how to deal with one type of situation on the battlefield.” Sima Chang Feng's gaze was filled with wisdom as he slowly asked, “If the enemy forces are stronger than mine, and the enemy knows about my situation, other than the easiest sneak attack method, what strategies can be used to destroy enemy forces? "


"If the enemy army is stronger than mine, and the enemy knows my situation?" Other than Duan Ling Tian, whose eyes shone and looked confident, the remaining students murmured to themselves and endlessly pondered.


"Hmm?" Sima Chang Feng's gaze descended on Duan Ling Tian shortly.


He had long since noticed this student, when a young man around 18 years old stood out in the group of 20-year-old youths. Now that he had noticed the young man's attitude, his heart jolted. "Could he have thought of a strategy so quickly?"


After a while, Sima Chang Feng's gaze fell onto Duan Ling Tian as he asked, "Looking at your appearance, it seems like you have reached a conclusion. Are you thinking about strategy?"


For a moment, all the students included, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, looked at Duan Ling Tian …


"Can he think of a way?"


"That's a joke, right? He looked like a child; what might he have?"


Some students glanced at Duan Ling Tian disapprovingly.


Duan Ling Tian's brows knitted as he stood up and went straight to the point. "If I were to encounter a situation like this, I would use the strategy of 'crossing the ocean while deceiving the heavens' deliberately and repeatedly using disguised methods to confuse and deceive the enemy, he said, make them let their defense down before I suddenly attack to achieve victory. "


If someone from the Hua country from his previous lifetime had to be present, they would instantly react and realize that what Duan Ling Tian was talking about now was precisely the first strategy of the 36 strategies, he said, crossing the sea while deceiving the heavens! [1]


The disciple Sima Chang Feng shriveled. He had actually never thought that this violet-clothed youth would be able to come up with a good strategy, but the strategy that the violet-clothed youth was talking about was now very much in tune with his thoughts in some areas. This caused him to be unable to stop himself from being shocked .. "Is this really just an 18-year-old young man?"


"Crossing the sea while deceiving the sky …. Just incredible! That's incredible!" After hearing what Duan Ling Tian said, Xiao Xun carefully enjoyed it for a moment. He was the first among the group of youths who reacted and could not help but praise Duan Ling Tian.


"This ..." The few students who looked down on Duan Ling Tian earlier were stunned. They had no choice but to admit that it was indeed a very good strategy.


After all, if anyone were to be repeatedly deceived, they would definitely lower their guard. This is human nature!


"Good, good ..Good strategy, crossing the ocean while deceiving the heavens!" Sima Chang Feng laughed out loud before staring at Duan Ling Tian and asking, "What's your name?"
