The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 134: Vivian’s Apprenticeship

After dealing with the greatest hidden danger of the underground city, Lynn took Vivian back to Celestial Destiny City.

He edited a communication message and sent it to Helena, asking her to arrange personnel to handle the aftermath there, and Lynn found himself idle once more.

Regarding the situation of the Demon Race’s mutation, Helena has been investigating ever since she ascended the throne. It’s said that even the frontline command and the Continent Alliance Council have assigned experts to research this issue.

The Celestial Destiny Empire still seems to be the core of the Demon Race’s mutation. Although there are some changes in the Demon Race and creatures of other empires, they are not as obvious as within the Celestial Destiny Empire.

Lynn speculated that this situation might be related to him. Was it his awakening as the new Demon Emperor that brought a wave of new magic benefits to the Demon Race and creatures, causing their levels to skyrocket suddenly?

After all, the Celestial Destiny Empire is the center of the Divine Protection Continent, not the center of the Demon Realm. Why should the Demon Race and the creatures’ mutation be centered around the Celestial Destiny Empire if it had nothing to do with him? That would obviously be passing the buck.

"Back so soon, how was the harvest?"

When Lynn returned home, everyone was there, and seeing him and Vivian return completely unscathed, those who knew would say that Lynn’s strength is indeed formidable, while those who didn’t would think they had gone on an outing, not cleared an underground city.

After all, Lynn said he would take Vivian to level up, but now he returned so quickly; it was unclear what the harvest was, whether he had brought Vivian up a hundred or eighty levels.

"I’m level 288! I went up by 188 levels! It truly feels like I’m dreaming."

Upon hearing Catherine’s question, who insisted she was visiting instead of coming home, Vivian happily jumped in front of her, casually drawing the sword hanging from her waist and swinging it a couple of times. Though the movements seemed clumsy, the cold light on the sword’s blade indicated that she now had some power.

"Not bad, you can already attach Fighting Spirit to your weapon. With further refinement of a martial skill, Vivian will also be a qualified Warrior."

As a mentor for the Warrior profession, Catherine, despite breaking through to Saint Tier later, has a good understanding of building a foundation and early growth for Warriors. She can see that Vivian now has a decent base of Fighting Spirit, only lacking a martial skill for output, enough to rival the Empire’s elite soldiers.

"Then teach me, Catherine sis. I know you excel at this."

Upon hearing Catherine’s evaluation, Vivian immediately clung to her arm for guidance. Having an elder who is a gem like Catherine sis to teach her, she is sure to rise steadily and quickly become stronger.

"With Lynn, the ceiling for the Warrior profession, what can I teach you?"

Feeling the softness similar to her own in the girl’s embrace, Catherine couldn’t help but sigh internally about the goodness of youth.

However, she was somewhat puzzled by the request for guidance. Although she had taught students for over a decade, she herself was just barely Saint Tier, while Vivian’s boyfriend was the top Warrior in the Miracle World. Why would it be her turn to show off?

Moreover, if she agreed to teach Vivian, wouldn’t that make her Vivian’s teacher? If it were before, it wouldn’t matter, but now that Vivian and Lynn are together, if she truly became Vivian’s teacher, wouldn’t that mess up their relationships?

"But Lynn’s time is very precious..."

Vivian muttered quietly.

"So you say I’m very cheap, huh?"

Catherine pointed to her nose, somewhat indignantly.

"No, mainly because I’m quite clumsy and Lynn may not excel at basic teaching. Catherine sis, you’re a professional, maybe in this regard, you’re much better than Lynn."

Vivian shook Catherine’s arm vigorously, trying to justify the words she’d misspoken. She wasn’t belittling Catherine sis; she just didn’t want to occupy too much of Lynn’s time alone. After all, he had many women, and she was only one of them, so how could she always trouble Lynn?

Furthermore, if Catherine sis teaches her, she can build a good relationship with her, making future accompaniment with Lynn more harmonious, right?

"That’s indeed possible. When it comes to strength, I wouldn’t be a match for Lynn even with a hundred of me. But in terms of teaching martial skills, I might just be a bit better than Lynn."

Vivian’s sincere words moved Catherine. She loves hearing such statements. Since Lynn entered her life, he has dwarfed her in every aspect, making Catherine feel shrinkingly overshadowed by him.

But she must admit, Lynn is outstanding in all aspects. Her inferiority stems purely from the disparity in strength, and he never plays dirty.

Now, thanks to Vivian’s reminder and compliments, Catherine finally found a possible strength over Lynn, which left her feeling elated... ahem, she is not old at all!

In any case, anyone who praises her as better than Lynn is a good child, deserving her thumbs-up!

"So you agree?" Vivian tentatively asked.

"That’s fine, but you can’t be my student; I’m just acting as a sister teaching her younger sister."

Catherine nodded in agreement but made sure to clarify the boundaries beforehand, not to mess up the generational ties. Although teacher-student romances are common in the Divine Protection Continent, and even indirect relationships like theirs, she personally has been quite disciplined over the years. Her lack of scandal isn’t solely due to her uncle’s influence.

"Mm-hmm, when do we start training?"

Upon hearing Catherine sis approved, Vivian happily hummed twice, and then, due to still unquenched enthusiasm, she immediately pushed for the start, seemingly ready to get going right away.

"There’s nothing urgent now, but you’ve just returned; rest for a while before training, and meanwhile, you can familiarize yourself with the materials."

Catherine, being efficiency-oriented, seeing Vivian’s determination, decided not to stall her and directly took out the third-year textbook from Celestial Destiny Magic and Martial Arts Academy from her space equipment and handed it to her.

Although Vivian’s strength far surpasses third-year students by unknown margins, her fundamentals are weak and her power was forcibly elevated, so starting straight with martial skills wouldn’t be suitable; she needs to start from the basics.

Considering she previously had a starting level base of 100 and was educated in noble standards, she can’t be worse than ten-year-olds or sub-ten-year-olds, so starting her from the third year should be quite suitable.
