When asked by Old Xu, the little fat girl was immediately speechless. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "I don't know. The book doesn't say this..."
Old Xu put his hands behind his back, looking relieved: "Yes, it's right that the book doesn't say that. Because the lesson I'm going to teach you is information that you don't normally receive."
A male student raised his hand and said, "Teacher, won't what you are talking about leak confidential information?"
Old Xu laughed: "This student is thoughtful. Don't worry, what I am going to say is common sense. It's just not easy to see and spread in books."
Hearing this, Tian Yang glanced at Bai Yinglan with some curiosity. Given the status and position of the Bai family, there was no reason for Bai Yinglan not to know these so-called "common sense".
"Students up there, please stop looking around and listen carefully."
Old Xu's voice sounded, suggesting something, so Tian Yang could only smile awkwardly and shift his attention to the podium.
Old Xu turned around and tapped on the background wall behind him, activating an interface. After entering the command, patterns appeared on the wall. They were the class emblems of the Ascendants.
"We all know that there are nine confirmed Ascendant classes, namely, Warlord, Hunter, Elemental Heart, Fortress, Judge, Harmonizer, Conqueror, Glory, and Abyss."
"Just like what this student said just now, the number of the first three classes is the largest among the ascenders, the number of the following classes is smaller, and the last two classes are even rarer."
No, now we have to add an 'Avenger', and my class has the fewest people, with only me at the moment.
Tianyang said silently in his heart.
Old Xu spoke at the podium: "Everyone sitting in this classroom today must love learning. So you should know that when we touch the Star Marrow Pillar, what class we will awaken is closely related to a person's character."
"People at the War God level usually have courage and bravery, charging into battle without batting an eyelid."
“People who become hunters have clear goals and they know exactly what they want.”
"The Heart of Elements is more sensitive to changes in nature, and those in the Fortress class usually have a great love for protecting others."
... ...
Tianyang had to admit that Lao Xu had a wide range of knowledge and was simply a walking encyclopedia.
Like everyone else, the boy also had some basic knowledge of the Ascendant class through books, but it was far less comprehensive and detailed than what Old Xu was saying now.
Taking the triggering of mentality as an example, Tianyang only then understood that people like Arbiters usually have a fair heart, Reconcilers emphasize balance, Conquerors usually have ambitions, Ascendants of the Glorious class are all kind, and those of the Abyss class are all unfortunate people who are extremely desperate.
"Teacher, what is the restraint relationship between these classes?"
Mr. Xu's course gradually aroused the students' interest, and the chubby girl just now took the initiative to ask questions.
Old Xu waved his hand: "No hurry, when it comes to restraint, first you have to understand the characteristics of these classes."
"Before discussing class characteristics, there is one thing I must point out first. That is, class characteristics are determined by class abilities!"
Tianyang quite agreed with this point.
Taking his 'Avenger' as an example, so far, the abilities of Rank 1 to Rank 4 are mostly related to stealth.
, anonymity, interference, and outbreak.
Therefore, the characteristics of the Avengers so far are high mobility, expertise in stealth and assassination.
Old Xu continued, "Take the War God class for example. The early abilities of this class include 'Silver Arms', 'War Will', 'Shattering Field' and other abilities. The abilities of the mid-high and high class classes are also mainly based on various elements such as increasing combat power and tending to attack."
"So this determines that the War God class is mainly inclined to attack. The sublimators of this class are all-rounders on the battlefield. They can deal with large numbers of enemies, as well as hostile masters or strong men."
"If the God of War tends to attack, then the Bastion is their opposite. Most of the abilities of the Bastion class are related to 'protection'. In the Reverse Realm, on the battlefield, whether or not there is a Bastion class's protection is a completely different matter."
Following Mr. Xu's pace, the students in the class listened attentively, even Tianyang and Bai Yinglan were no exception.
Through Lao Xu's narration, Tianyang gained a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of other classes.
Since Tianyang had more contact with hunters and the Heart of Elements, he knew that hunters were good at precise locking and long-range attacks, while the Heart of Elements could cause large-scale and wide-ranging destruction, as long as they were given enough time to prepare.
However, Tianyang was unfamiliar with classes like Mediator and Arbitrator, so through Lao Xu, he learned that Arbitrators were good at making "rules" and "judging" their opponents, thus putting themselves in an advantageous situation.
Like fortresses, peacemakers are skilled in assisting on the battlefield, but fortresses tend to be defensive, while peacemakers have more diverse assisting methods.
Harmonizers have keen intuition and can use star energy to create traps. They are not good at fighting, but can improve the overall combat effectiveness of a team.
As for Glory, this class has the ability to recover from injuries, weaken the effects of dark particles, and bring infinite hope to companions in the adverse world.
The only thing that Lao Xu did not talk about in detail was the Abyss. The Ascendants of this class were even rarer than the Glory. Even Lao Xu, an encyclopedia, only knew that the Abyss represented deep despair and silent destruction.
After explaining the characteristics of each class, Old Xu paused for a moment to let the students sort out their thoughts before continuing, "Due to the characteristics of the classes, there is naturally a restraint relationship between the classes."
"But one thing we need to note is that restraint is not absolute, but relative. There is no such thing as absolute restraint in this world."
"Just like the God of War is more restrained against the fortress, but if the attack lasts too long, it will fail. If you cannot break the fortress's defense in a short period of time, and the fortress finds a flaw, then the God of War rank will be in danger."
"It's not easy to explain the restraint between classes in a few words. Today's class is almost over. If you are interested, please pay more attention to the course notice of the academy. See you in the next class."
As soon as Old Xu finished speaking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang outside, without wasting a single minute.
After the students left one after another, Old Xu walked up the stairs and smiled at Bai Yinglan, saying, "It's an honor that even the eldest daughter of the Bai family came to listen to my class. This way, I will have something to brag about in front of my colleagues in the next week."
Bai Yinglan was slightly surprised: "Teacher Xu recognized me?"
Old Xu waved his hand and said, "You should call me Old Xu like Tianyang. Teacher Xu sounds too awkward. Miss Bai is too contemptuous of yourself. In our fortress, I don't think I know you.
There shouldn’t be many people.”
Bai Yinglan was surprised again: "You know Tianyang?"
Tian Yang smiled and said, "Old Xu used to be in our team, but he has retired now."
Bai Yinglan suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Old Xu smiled at Tianyang again: "How was my lecture today? Did I do well?"
Tian Yang gave a thumbs up: "Very good, Lao Xu, you are really suitable to be a lecturer."
Old Xu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then said: "Do you have anything to do today? Otherwise, come to my place for dinner tonight."
Tian Yang said bluntly: "That's exactly what I meant. This way I don't have to cook for myself."
"You kid..." Old Xu chuckled and looked at Bai Yinglan: "Where's Miss Bai? How about we come together?"
Bai Yinglan knew that he was just being polite and didn't take it seriously. She smiled and declined: "I'm sorry, I have a date with a friend tonight. Let's do it next time."
She stood up gracefully and winked at Tianyang: "Tianyang, see you next time."
After the daughter of the Bai family left, Old Xu gently bumped Tianyang's shoulder and said, "I underestimated you. You didn't even tell me when you started dating the daughter of the Bai family. The Bai family is now in the limelight. The two mines they got from Black Star Castle are making a lot of money..."
Tian Yang said solemnly: "Miss Bai and I are just ordinary friends."
Old Xu laughed: "You little brat, do you think I'm blind? The way I see you, I want to eat you alive. Is this an ordinary friend? Tell me the truth, are you marrying into the Bai family?"
"If so, you have to bring your brother with you. I've been making some investments recently, and I think the Bai family has great potential."
“Stop.”
Tian Yang said unhappily, "I haven't married into any family. Also, aren't you a lecturer? Why are you involved in investment?"
Old Xu chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, let's talk while we chat."
After a while, Tianyang drove home with Lao Xu.
In the car, Old Xu shook his head and said, "After we won the fortress war, the room for development has suddenly become much larger. Now our fortress itself, as well as other family businesses, have begun to expand outward."
"As a result, the gap in funds and resources has suddenly widened. So recently, Fortress and Upper Five Gates have been absorbing funds and resources from Fortress in the form of bonds and shares respectively."
"This is a great investment opportunity. I've calculated that I can see returns in two years at most. After ten years, I basically won't have to make any money. The dividends and interest from the investment alone will be enough for our family to have enough food and clothing."
"The problem now is that I am struggling with whether to invest in Fortress or to invest in Shangwumen's industry."
Tian Yang asked curiously: "What's the difference?"
Old Xu said loudly, "Of course there are. Fortress's bonds have great room for appreciation and are relatively stable, making them suitable for long-term investment. Shangwumen's industries have high profits, high dividends, and a guaranteed reputation. It's just that they are not willing to cooperate with just anyone. They probably don't think highly of a small shrimp like me."
"That's why I asked you to take care of my brother. You are so familiar with Miss Bai. And I heard from the captain that you seem to know a lot of people from the Yun family."
"How about it, Tianyang? Introduce me to some big shots, and I'll show you a way to invest, and I guarantee you'll make a lot of money!"
