Looking at the chattering students, Si Ming thought to himself that Nation of Valor university students were not much different from those in his Su State. It seemed that they were protected by the school and had not been influenced by the social atmosphere.

Xin Jia stretched out her hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said, "Alright, everyone, don't judge a book by its cover. We can get to know each other gradually over the next semester."

Remembering the boys' comments, she added, "Actually, Si Ming is quite strong; he just looks thin when he's dressed."

One boy blurted out, "Counselor, how do you know he looks slim in clothes? Have you seen him without clothes?"

Xin Jia realized she had misspoke and wanted to explain, but not only the boys but also the girls joined in the teasing, with some even whistling and making fun of her, making her blush with embarrassment.

Si Ming quickly came to the rescue, saying, "I've practiced external martial arts, and Instructor Xin's martial arts skills are profound; she could see through my foundation at a glance."

In the corner, a cocky-looking boy said, "Are you implying that we can't tell because we're blind and our martial arts skills are too shallow?"

This was clearly a deliberate provocation. Si Ming turned to look at the other party and found that, with the boy who spoke at the center, there were three other boys surrounding him like followers, clearly a small team.

"Of course that's not what I meant, but if you insist on thinking that way, then there's nothing I can do. After all, I can only control myself, not what others think."

Anyone with a modicum of sense could now sense the tension between the two. Xin Jia quickly intervened, saying, "Alright, alright, we'll be classmates for a semester, so let's try to find common ground while respecting our differences, give each other a break, and not be so petty."

Then, he Secret Voice Transmission to Si Ming, "His name is Fu Feng, and he is a disciple of the Plundering Fire Soldier King. Do you have a grudge against him?"

"The Plundering Fire Soldier King?" Si Ming thought hard for a moment and finally remembered that this was Huyan Lie's title. No wonder Fu Feng deliberately picked a fight; he wanted to avenge his master.

"I have no grudge against him, but I have a grudge against his master."

Upon hearing Si Ming's answer, Xin Jia was taken aback, unable to understand why a foreign student would have a grudge against Spirit Transformation Grandmaster from his own country.

At this moment, Fu Feng said, "Seeking common ground while reserving differences requires shared viewpoints. I don't think our Military School and the Mohist School have anything in common; we probably only have differences, not common ground."

He pointed out Si Ming's identity Mohist School in one sentence, and the atmosphere in the class immediately changed. Even the girls looked at each other with a hint of distance. Although national conflicts do not affect exchanges between people, it is unrealistic to say that they don't care at all.

Xin Jia immediately rebuked, "Fu Feng, is this how you welcome guests who have come from afar? If word gets out, you'll ruin the school's reputation!"

Fu Feng ignored the threat and said, "Guests are welcomed with fine wine, but enemies are met with crossbows. Whether this exchange student is a guest or an enemy cannot be determined at this time. We need to see his stance from now on. For example, what is his opinion on the fact that the Su State is always hindering Nation of Valor's unification of the Northern Continent?"

Si Ming chuckled inwardly. This was equivalent to Japan asking America what they thought about the two atomic bombs dropped on them.

Of course, the America has troops stationed in Japan, so even if the Japan really thought that, they wouldn't dare to ask. However, the Su State doesn't have troops stationed in Nation of Valor, which gives the other side the confidence to provoke them.

Xin Jia's face turned pale when she heard the question. To put it bluntly, this was an attempt to escalate tensions between the two countries; to put it less bluntly, it was a lack of manners. The school had invited guests, so what right did the students have to make things difficult for them?

She glared at Fu Feng fiercely, then quickly Secret Voice Transmission, reminding Si Ming not to answer and to leave the matter to her.

Si Ming did not back down. If it were him five or six years ago, he would have admitted defeat without hesitation. There was no need to fight for pride. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. But now there is no need for that. It is like a battle. If you are strong enough, why bother with tactics and planning? You can just crush the enemy.

"What I think is unimportant. What matters is what the other countries of the Northern Continent, such as Su Kingdom and Rui State, think. Ultimately, this is a matter of internal affairs for the Northern Continent. As outsiders, we of Su State have no right to comment. It should be a democratic vote among the countries of the Northern Continent, with the minority submitting to the majority. Only in this way can the evaluation be more objective."

Other countries' views on Nation of Valor are self-evident; no one likes a neighbor who is always scheming to seize their land.

Fu Feng's expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly and said, "Since you admit that the Su State is an outsider, why do you still send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of our Northern Continent?"

"We didn't want to either. Fighting and killing are no good. We Mohist School are pacifists, but the states of the Su Kingdom and Rui State sent people to ask us to send troops, hoping we could help the weak and punish the strong and uphold justice. We had no choice; we couldn't just stand by and watch people die."

If the Mohist School were acting on behalf of Heaven, then the Military School was undoubtedly the villains being acted upon. Not only did Fu Feng's face turn ugly, but the faces of the other students in the class also turned ugly.

"Are you suggesting that we, Nation of Valor, have done something wrong?"

"That's a naive question. Between nations, there's no right or wrong, only the victor and the vanquished. Judging from the outcome, the Mohist School were right to stop the Military School."

Seeing that the situation was turning against her and was on the verge of escalating into a full-blown fight, Xin Jia hurriedly said to Si Ming, "Didn't you say you were the brains of the team? Your actions are incredibly unwise!"

Si Ming said calmly, "How about learning about Iron Head Skill?"

Chapter 638 Broadcast

"You Mohist School are hypocritical and two-faced. You claim that only unifying the world can bring peace, yet you yourselves have unified the Eastern Continent, while repeatedly obstructing our Nation of Valor efforts to unify the world."

"Because we, the Mohist School, believe that you Military School lack the ability to unify the Northern Continent. The wars you wage will only waste the people's resources and bring suffering to the people of the Northern Continent. They are unjust wars, and indeed they are. To this day, you have not been able to complete the great cause of unification. This shows that we, the Mohist School, have great foresight."

"If it weren't for your Mohist School interference, our Nation of Valor would have unified the Northern Continent long ago!"

"Assuming something that didn't happen is meaningless, and that it can't be accomplished due to interference from others, proves that your abilities are nothing special. Instead of pinning all your hopes on the enemy not seeking outside help, why not simply assume that the enemy will give up resistance and surrender on their own initiative?"

"You Mohist School are imperialists, falsely claiming to be benevolent and righteous; you are utter hypocrites!"

"What right do militaristic Military School have to criticize the Mohist School? If we're going to compare reputations, why don't we gather the people of all the countries in the Northern Continent for a vote and see who has the truly awful reputation?"

Si Ming's meeting with his classmates ended badly due to Fu Feng's constant instigation. Even Xin Jia was powerless in the face of this situation. With the greater national cause at stake, Fu Feng was like wearing an indestructible golden robe, and she could not stand up to accuse Fu Feng of being wrong.

Even though the classmates realized that Fu Feng was up to no good and was deliberately targeting the exchange student from Su State, they could only turn a blind eye because of their own positions. After all, they had no connection with Si Ming and it wasn't worth getting into conflicts with their classmates over him. Besides, Fu Feng had a Spirit Transformation master with a promising future, and even if they didn't intend to curry favor with him, they didn't want to offend him either. In this world, there are very few people who dare to speak out for justice and only care about right and wrong regardless of their own position.

In this situation, only by bowing his head and apologizing, admitting that Su Si Ming was wrong, could Su State possibly ease the conflict and be accepted by the class. But why would he do that?

It's not his loss if he's not accepted.

"It's a pity that a full-blown fight didn't happen in the end," one of Fu Feng's henchmen said.

"It's best if they don't resort to violence. If they do, the situation changes. After all, they're exchange students, guests invited by the school. Verbal harassment can be excused as patriotism, but physical violence is truly Wutian and shows a disregard for the school's reputation. In serious cases, they could be expelled."

Fu Feng spoke calmly, showing none of the arrogance he displayed when he teased Si Ming in class. He appeared remarkably composed and confident.

Offending an ordinary exchange student is one thing, the school might just give a warning at most, but the other party also has Spirit Transformation master, and an internationally renowned martial arts master at that, whose reputation and influence far surpass Hu Huyan Lie's. Fu Feng doesn't want to risk his life.

It would be better if the other party had made the first move...

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, the other side kept focusing on the "winner takes all" principle and did not lose ground in the debate. On the contrary, our side was provoked to the point of being somewhat exasperated and almost resorted to violence. In terms of verbal skills, the Military School who prefer to fight are ultimately no match for the Mohist School, after all, the Mohist School are famous for "Mohist craftsmanship, Mohist adherence to principles, and Mohist debate".
