“Do you guys think that teacher from the ‘Ding’ class is insane? How dare he challenge four teachers from the ‘Yi’ class, and even take on all four by himself? I wonder how he’ll end up dying,” said a student from the Yi class, dressed in a silver robe, shaking his head in disdain.
“The world is vast and full of surprises. Master Liu Qingfeng, Master Hu Ben, Master Jun Wuchang, and Master Li Xiaojun are all veteran experts at the Fifth Heaven Stage. Even someone at the Sixth Heaven Stage might struggle against them combined. I wonder what confidence this teacher from the Ding class has.”
“Unbelievable, right? Today, when I passed by the ‘Bing’ class, some useless students from the ‘Ding’ class actually dared to provoke me, saying something like ‘Don’t mock a young man for his poverty.’ I couldn’t help but laugh.”
“It’s understandable wanting to prove oneself, but not through such methods. This match isn’t even worth watching. We might as well go to the library and pick a martial arts manual to study.”
“Senior Brother Liu, I heard you recently chose the high-level Yellow Tier manual ‘The Boundless Ocean’—have you already mastered it? It seems you truly possess extraordinary talent to have succeeded in cultivating it.”
“Not at all, not at all. ‘The Boundless Ocean’ has six layers, and I’ve barely reached the third. I’m still far from ultimate mastery. Lately, I’ve been making little progress, so I’m considering choosing another manual to practice. After all, it’s better to be skilled in many techniques,” Senior Brother Liu said modestly, though internally he was proud.
“Oh, Senior Brother Liu, look! Someone is coming—seems like they’re from the Ding class!”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan approached leisurely, completely unconcerned about the upcoming duel.
“Teacher, why are we here?” asked Cao Fushu in confusion.
“Kids, today is your second lesson,” Lin Fan replied calmly.
Cao Fushu was taken aback. What did coming here have to do with their second lesson? Although they were students from the Ding class, they knew this was the martial arts arena. And why were there so many people here today? Could it be that someone was about to fight?
Could it be that their teacher had brought them here to explain what was happening on the battlefield?
“Teacher must be here to show us how experts fight so we can understand what it means to become one,” said Liu Shuishui, a female student, naturally thinking more romantically.
Though she was clever, it couldn’t change the fact that they were considered untalented.
Liu Shuishui deeply respected Teacher Lin. When Lin told her that her name would be Liu Shuishui, she decided to keep that name forever, because it was the name given by her beloved teacher.
“Shuishui, you’re so smart. None of us thought of that,” said Zhu You, nodding with his simple-minded honesty.
Liu Shuishui proudly lifted her head, but when she glanced at the teacher, she suddenly noticed him walking toward the stage and was shocked. “Teacher, what are you doing?”
“Crushing some people,” Lin Fan replied without turning his head.
The thirteen students were stunned, not understanding what their teacher meant.
“You should call a doctor for your teacher now, or else he might end up spitting blood when he gets beaten up,” a student from the Yi class said smugly.
Hearing this, Cao Tianjiao and the others were stunned. Their teacher was going to fight on the stage? They hadn’t heard anything about this.
Moreover, their teacher had only just started teaching the day before—how could he have conflicts with other teachers?
“Your ‘Ding’ class really produces talents—waste, and even teachers with no brains. Daring to challenge four opponents alone—truly doesn’t know the meaning of life and death,” a Yi class student mocked.
“Don’t you dare insult our beloved teacher!” Cao Tianjiao glared furiously at the Yi class student.
“Hehe,” the Yi class student scoffed dismissively.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan slowly stepped onto the martial arts stage, looking at the four teachers standing there with a slight smile, then turned his head to gaze at his thirteen students.
Cao Tianjiao and the others saw their teacher stop and began watching him intently.
Lin Fan felt that the timing, location, and atmosphere were all perfect for delivering the second lesson to these students.
As a teacher guiding students, naturally, one must leave a deep impression on them.
Majestic, towering, sacred, and great.
At this moment, Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemingly piercing through the heavens as he looked at them, his voice low yet authoritative. “In the eyes of others, you are wastes, mediocre talents. But in my eyes, you are the smartest people in the world. These four guys called you wastes and unteachable fools. Now, I will prove that in my eyes, they are not even worthy of being called fools.”
“Teacher…” At this moment, the thirteen students looked at their beloved teacher with tear-filled eyes.
They had never expected that the reason their teacher had come to the stage was for them.
At Tianfu Academy, they had long been used to being called wastes and fools, enduring bullying without ever fighting back. Today, their teacher’s words touched the most fragile part of their hearts.
It shattered instantly, and tears flowed like a flood.
“Sounds noble, but I wonder how much you’re really worth if you dare to say such words to your own students,” Liu Qingfeng sneered mockingly.
Now that the situation had escalated, there was no need for pretense anymore.
Lin Fan looked at the four of them—Fifth Heaven Stage experts. With his current cultivation, fighting four at once might be a bit tricky, but only if he wasn’t serious.
So this time, he decided to be serious.
“Today, I’ll split you in two with my double-bladed axes,” the hot-tempered Hu Ben roared.
Lin Fan stood on the stage, his expression calm, and said flatly, “My students, watch carefully. In the future, you will become just as strong.”
“Yes, Teacher!” The thirteen students nodded heavily, tears still flowing endlessly. This was the first time, aside from their families, that someone had valued them.
Some of the students watching the duel suddenly realized that this teacher from the Ding class was different from others.
They had never heard a teacher say such things before.
But then they shook their heads. In this place, strength was the only thing that mattered. If you wanted others to respect you, you needed corresponding power and talent. Otherwise, everything else was meaningless.
These students from the Ding class had their talents already determined. Even if their teacher was powerful, it wouldn’t matter unless he could change their fates.
“You four, come at me. I will show you the painful cost of underestimating anyone.” At that moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting Lin Fan’s robe. Standing on the stage with his hands behind his back, Lin Fan’s image in the students’ eyes suddenly became towering, like a transcendent expert, so dazzling.
“Yaa, Triple Axe!” Unable to bear any longer, Hu Ben leaped into the air, his spiritual energy surging, as his two axes, brimming with unstoppable might, slashed toward Lin Fan’s shoulders.
The Triple Axe was Hu Ben’s signature technique. Each strike carried three layers of force, one after another. Among peers, few could withstand it directly.
Lin Fan stood calmly, a faint smile on his lips.
…
“Teacher…” The thirteen students looked on in horror, their faces pale. Why didn’t their teacher dodge?
Liu Qingfeng and the others smiled. Did he actually plan to take the blow head-on? Pure fantasy.
