Chapter 13
Forced to Show Off
After explaining a third of the content, Feng Qi stopped. He looked up and saw that all the students were looking at him with bright eyes and anticipation.
“Teacher, keep going. Don’t stop. Keep going. I’ll feel uncomfortable if I don’t finish listening!”
“It’s really exciting, blazing a new trail in the understanding body cultivation. This has given me many ideas. I’ll put them into practice after the lesson. Teacher, please continue. I beg you.”
“Admirable, truly admirable. Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old. Teacher is worthy of the word genius!”
…
“Pfft, weren’t you guys looking down on me just now!” Feng Qi complained inwardly.
Hearing the students call him ‘teacher’, he thought that it was a respectful title between the students in the cultivation exchange class and did not take it seriously.
Looking at the eager eyes, he pondered for a moment and continued to explain the basics of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with this group of arrogant seniors from the Star City Academy, Feng Qi didn’t hold a grudge.
He could take this opportunity to spread the Ferocious Tiger Fist and let more people learn it. This would speed up the development of modern cultivation and affect the future.
Outside the classroom, Lin Ran listened attentively.
When he realized that the class had suddenly stopped, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, unbearably itchy.
He felt that Feng Qi’s explanation of the concept of body cultivation was very novel, and he had never heard many of his insights before. It really made him admire him.
While waiting anxiously, the lecture began again. Lin Ran sat himself on the ground and took out his notebook to take notes.
…
“Old Liang, what’s the matter?”
“Lin Ran has arrived, right? You have to take good care of him. Not only is he my beloved disciple, but he’s also a researcher internally appointed by the Tiger Soul Research Institute. If he’s bullied there, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I’m about to go listen to his lecture and see if he’s as outstanding as you say.”
After hanging up, Bai Fusheng stood up and walked towards the second teaching building.
Lin Ran was not a student of the Star City Academy, but an exchange student from the Winter Academy. After coming to the Star City Academy and arranging a dormitory for him, the first thing Bai Fusheng did was arrange for Lin Ran to teach the senior students a lesson to keep their arrogance in check and let them know that there was always someone better.
Bai Fusheng smiled and nodded along the way to greet the students and teachers he met. He then arrived outside the classroom of Combat Class One.
Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, he saw Lin Ran sitting in the corner, scribbling away on his notebook and nodding occasionally.
???
He walked up to Lin Ran. At this moment, Lin Ran was so focused that he did not notice his arrival at all.
“Lin Ran, I told you to go to class. Why are you sitting here?”
“Shh, don’t speak. I’m taking notes,” Lin Ran said without looking up.
…
Puzzled, Bai Fusheng turned to look at the classroom. Through the window, he could see a young student giving a lecture on the podium.
Bai Fusheng could not help but frown.
Combat Class One’s normal curriculum was not a cultivation exchange class to exchange cultivation insights. Who would be so bold as to go on stage and speak freely at this time?
Looking at Lin Ran, who was still taking notes, Bai Fusheng was puzzled. He couldn’t understand what Lin Ran was recording.
“With form and intention as the general principle of cultivation, one must have an indomitable aura like a tiger in battle. Only then can…”
As he listened to the contents of the lecture, Bai Fusheng’s expression gradually changed. He realized that the student who was giving the lecture were very impressive. He already had his own understanding of body cultivation.
At this moment, the anger in Bai Fusheng’s heart disappeared, and he began to listen with Lin Ran.
In the classroom, Feng Qi, who had explained two-thirds of the basics, felt his mouth go dry and stopped speaking again.
Upon seeing this, the students who were listening to the lecture immediately served mineral water and snacks. They all said, “Teacher, take a break before you continue.”
This made Feng Qi very speechless. He was only here to listen to the exchange of cultivation insights. How did it become a class?
However, as the saying went, “If you want to act cool, you have to go all the way.”
Moreover, he had already explained two-thirds of the basics of the Ferocious Tiger Fist. Soon, these students would be able to finish transcribing it. He decided to finish explaining the content.
While Feng Qi was resting, outside the classroom, Lin Ran looked up at Bai Fusheng with a resentful expression.
“Elder Bai, I’ve already prepared the content of the lesson and was ready to show off. I didn’t thought the clown would be myself. Does my teacher know that you’re doing this to suppress me?”
…
Bai Fusheng didn’t know how to respond.
He really had no intention of suppressing Lin Ran. He asked Lin Ran to come to class to suppress the students of Combat Class One and let them understand the difference between themselves and a true genius.
He had never heard of the student in the classroom and did not know him at all.
However, at this moment, Bai Fusheng felt gratified. He did not expect that there would be so many hidden talents in the academy and there to be such an outstanding talent.
Looking at Lin Ran’s resentful gaze, Bai Fusheng thought for a moment and said earnestly,
“Lin Ran, you have to understand that there’s always someone better out there. Although your performance in Winter Academy is very outstanding, the Star City Academy has no lack of talented students either. Do you see this? This is the capability of the Star City Academy. I arranged this because I hope you can go further. Don’t think that you can be proud and complacent just because you were accepted in advance by the Tiger Soul Research Institute. You still have a long way to go.”
Looking at the peaceful Bai Fusheng, Lin Ran nodded.
“Elder Bai, I understand. This class is of great significance. I’ve benefited greatly. Thank you for your guidance!” With that, Lin Ran stood up and bowed to Bai Fusheng.
Bai Fusheng was secretly pleased when he heard this.
He had always heard that Lin Ran from the Winter Academy was talented and had put forward many precious suggestions on the improvement and research of combat techniques. He was noticed by the Tiger Soul Research Institute and was accepted in advance.
Every time he thought of the fact that the Star City Academy didn’t have any talents that could rival him, Bai Fusheng would sigh.
Unexpectedly, he was met with an unexpected surprise today. He discovered a piece of dusty jewel.
“Elder Bai, which class is the student from? What’s his name? I want to get to know him,” Lin Ran asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.
…
Bai Fusheng was speechless.
That was because he didn’t know who the person in the classroom was. However, he was already halfway through acting cool. If he said that he didn’t know who it was, he would be able to put himself on the spot.
Hence, Bai Fusheng pretended to be indifferent.
“He’s an outstanding student of the Star City Academy. I’ll introduce him to you when I’m free!”
“Elder Bai, of course I know that he’s an outstanding student of the academy. What I’m asking is which class he’s from and what his name is,” Lin Ran asked.
“Didn’t you want to listen to class? He’s starting!”
Fortunately, Feng Qi continued his lecture, alleviating Bai Fusheng’s awkwardness.
Seeing this, Lin Ran stopped asking and immediately sat down to continue taking notes.
Bai Fusheng also chose to stand at the side and listen to the class, nodding his head in relief from time to time.
…
After Feng Qi finished his lesson, thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.
Even after Feng Qi pushed the door open and left, the applause did not subside for a long time.
“Elder Bai, he’s here. Introduce us!” Lin Ran looked at Bai Fusheng and said.
“Alright, I’ll introduce you to him!”
Bai Fusheng felt awkward, but he still took two steps forward. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Qi humbly stepped aside and walked past him.
…
“…”
Looking at Feng Qi who was going further and further away, Lin Ran looked puzzled. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Bai Fusheng.
“Elder Bai, are you sure you know him? Or rather, that he knows you?”
…
