Chapter 30
Some People Are Destined to Shine
Looking at Lin Ran, who was talking non-stop in front of the podium, Feng Qi seemed to see a rising star.
He could understand why Tiger Soul Research Institute wanted to recruit Lin Ran in advance.
Throughout the history of human development, Lin Ran’s talent could be considered the most outstanding.
He took a different approach and created one of the top schools of spell arts, the Seal Style, which had a profound impact on future generations.
Unfortunately, he took the wrong path and ultimately died of guilt.
If he hadn’t checked Lin Ran’s future and listened to this lecture, he would have thought that Lin Ran’s future achievements were limitless and that he would definitely become a hero remembered by history.
Just as Feng Qi was feeling emotional, the classroom door was pushed open and Bai Fusheng’s figure appeared.
At this moment, he looked at Lin Ran with a serious expression, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.
He had read a few of the spell research articles published by Lin Ran. Although he was surprised that Lin Ran had such a solid foundation in the study of spells at such a young age, he was far from shocked.
However, what Lin Ran had just shared completely convinced him. He couldn’t help but push the door open and enter.
Lin Ran, who was teaching, stopped when he saw Bai Fusheng enter. Then, he looked at Bai Fusheng and greeted respectfully,
“Elder Bai.”
“Continue. I’ll come in and listen to the class.” Bai Fusheng immediately nodded and walked towards the students, wanting to find a seat.
As he looked around, Bai Fusheng suddenly noticed Feng Qi, who was sitting in a corner.
While feeling surprised, he walked decisively to where Feng Qi was and sat down beside him.
At this moment, Lin Ran began his lecture again.
As he gazed at Bai Fusheng who sat by his side, Feng Qi felt puzzled inwardly.
Judging from his appearance, this old man is clearly not a student. It’s very likely that he’s a teacher in the school.
Therefore, after Bai Fusheng sat down, he immediately said,
“Hello, teacher.”
“You’re not a student of Combat Class One, are you?” Bai Fusheng asked Feng Qi with a smile.
“I’m not!”
“Then which class are you from? What’s your name? Why haven’t I seen you before?”
“My name is Feng Qi. I’m a student from Star City Number One High School who came to visit and study. I’m not a student of Star City Academy.” Feng Qi introduced himself humbly.
Hearing this, Bai Fusheng was clearly stunned.
He finally understood why he had never heard of such an outstanding student.
“I can’t let such a good seedling slip away.”
Realizing that Feng Qi had yet to graduate, Bai Fusheng’s heart was filled with fervor, and he had the idea of recruiting Feng Qi to Star City Academy.
At this thought, a benevolent smile appeared on Bai Fusheng’s face.
“Have you considered applying to Star City Academy after graduation?”
Faced with the question, Feng Qi felt awkward.
This was because his dream was the Milky Way Academy. He had never thought of applying for Star City Academy. However, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud at this time. After all, the other party was a teacher from Star City Academy.
Seeing the change in Feng Qi’s expression, Bai Fusheng understood his intentions and couldn’t help but say,
“During this period of visitation, do you feel that Star City Academy has any shortcomings?”
“No, everything is great, especially the food at the cafeteria.”
“Just the food is good?” Bai Fusheng glared at him.
“Everything is good.” Feng Qi was slightly embarrassed.
Faced with Feng Qi’s perfunctory reply, Bai Fusheng had an idea.
Judging from Feng Qi’s performance, it was obvious that he had no interest in Star City Academy. However, since he had discovered this pearl jade, it was the will of the heavens. It was impossible to let him slip away from his hands.
Hence, Bai Fusheng’s expression became kind again as he said in a relaxed tone,
“You’re from Star City Number One High School. I have a student who is there as well, but he’s a teacher. His name is Wang Jinsheng. Do you know him?”
“Old Wang is your student?” Hearing this, Feng Qi’s heart shook.
“Old Wang? Oh, Wang Jinsheng, right? Yes. You know him?”
“He’s my form teacher and history teacher.”
Hearing this, Bai Fusheng was stunned.
“So you’re Jinsheng’s student. No wonder you have your own unique insights in cultivation techniques at such a young age. Speaking of which, I can be considered your grandmaster.”
Realizing that Feng Qi was Wang Jinsheng’s student, Bai Fusheng beamed with joy. He felt that this matter was almost certain.
However, when he thought of Wang Jinsheng, many memories surfaced in his mind. He could not help but sigh.
“Back then, I had high hopes for Jinsheng and personally witnessed his growth. Before graduation, I recommended him to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, and he did not disappoint me either. In the end, he was accepted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance. I thought that he could rise up, but… Sigh, what a pity.”
“Grandmaster, can you tell me about Teacher Wang’s past?”
As Wang Jinsheng information in the future database was confidential, he could only view a short introduction and not the details, so he was very curious about Wang Jinsheng growth experience.
Bai Fusheng nodded when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he said,
“Jinsheng did not stand out when he first joined Star City Academy. He was even mocked by his classmates for a year.”
“Why did they mock Old Wang?” Feng Qi hurriedly asked.
“Because at the admission ceremony, he couldn’t help but cry when he saw the flag rise. It was also at that time that he left an impression on me. It’s hard to describe his expression then. His gaze when he looked at the flag was filled with determination, and tears flowed down. At that time, many of his classmates noticed his abnormality and pointed at him. Some even laughed behind his back at him for looking like a fool.”
“In the following year, every time his classmates talked about this, they would mock him. They said that he was simply a different freak. They had never seen such an emotional person.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi was upset. At this moment, Bai Fusheng continued,
“Jinsheng was a very special student. He’s upright to the point of exaggeration. He cannot stand any favoritism, even if it’s just a small matter!”
“That’s why he’s often targeted by some students, but he still didn’t changed his character. He wouldn’t lower his head or compromise. As long as it’s right, he’ll persevere to the end.”
“This is also the person I know.” A smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.
Wang Jinsheng could be considered his life mentor. During his six years in high school, his worldview had been established under Wang Jinsheng guidance.
Therefore, he knew very well what kind of person Old Wang was. However, he did not expect Old Wang to already be so stubborn when he was young.
“In fact, sometimes I don’t understand. When did integrity become the laughing stock of others? It wasn’t until many years later that I found out that Jinsheng’s father was once a soldier in the military war corps. He was sacrificed in an operation to disperse a domain field when Jinsheng was seven years old. All the memories of his father in his mind were of the military cap, so I suddenly understood how he felt when he looked at the national flag.”
“Jinsheng also made me understand that a person’s hard work can affect others around him.”
“From the initial mockery to respect, to the final worship, he advanced step by step and became the most dazzling new star of that batch. He was even accepted by Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance… Sigh, it’s a pity that his talent was buried then and there.”
At the end, Bai Fusheng could not help but sigh again.
“He is merely continuing to work hard in a different way.”
Looking at the desolate Bai Fusheng, Feng Qi couldn’t help but add in his heart,
“You won’t have to wait too long. He’ll come back and continue to shine.”
