Big Bear Blind's class was in session
Chen Feng knew nothing about what was happening on the girls' side.
When he and Tang San arrived at the Cafeteria, they saw that everyone else was already seated and eating the food they had prepared.
The Academy's Cafeteria wasn't very big, and the chefs were villagers hired by the Academy, so the variety of food was quite simple, but the taste was acceptable, and everyone else seemed quite satisfied with their meal.
Chen Feng and Tang San each got a meal and were about to find a place to sit down when they saw Ning Rongrong waving at them.
"Xiao Feng, come sit here."
There was an empty seat between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, which seemed to be reserved for Chen Feng.
Tang San nudged Chen Feng with his shoulder, then sat down next to Xiao Wu with the food in his hands.
Chen Feng couldn't refuse, so he sat down between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who had just returned from closing up shop, sat opposite him, each enjoying their meal.
"Speaking of which, didn't I just see you eat a few steamed buns? Do you still have an appetite?" Bai Chenxiang asked Ma Hongjun with a strange look.
Ma Hongjun looked up and saw that she was asking about him, so he said:
"You don't understand, I cultivate myself by eating."
"There are people who cultivate by eating?" Bai Chenxiang was very surprised.
"That's because you've never seen anything like this before, have you?" Ma Hongjun said with a smug look on his face.
"Is it the Foundation Ring?" Chen Feng asked at the outset.
"Huh? You know quite a bit." Ma Hongjun was a little surprised. "You're right, my Foundation Ring allows me to absorb the power of flames, but I can't activate my Martial Soul all the time, so I usually absorb the fire energy by eating cooked food."
"I see." Chen Feng nodded.
It seems that this is how Ma Hongjun in this world deals with Evil Fire. Although the manifestation is the same as Ma Hongjun in the Manga world, requiring him to eat frequently, the underlying principles are different.
The reason why Ma Hongjun in the Manga world can suppress the Evil Fire by eating is because he comes from the Nine Heavens Neon Phoenix Sect, and his Martial Soul is not the same as the Evil Fire Phoenix in the Original Work.
Since there are no Three Earth Sects in this world, there is naturally no Nine Heavens Neon Phoenix Sect either. Therefore, Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix from the Original Work.
Without Chen Feng's influence, Ma Hongjun would most likely have followed the path in the Original Work story, dealing with his inner turmoil by venting his Evil Fire in brothels.
However, Chen Feng's Foundation Building Method led him down a different path: absorbing fire energy through the Foundation Ring to enhance the fire power of his Martial Soul and remove harmful impurities.
So, in the Manga, Ma Hongjun is open to anything and can eat anything, but in this world Ma Hongjun prefers cooked food.
This also led to his lack of interest in Oscar's food, because the food was made with Soul Power and contained no fire element, so it couldn't help Ma Hongjun suppress his Evil Fire.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite grateful to Grandmaster Chen Feng," Ma Hongjun suddenly said.
"Oh? Why?" Chen Feng asked.
Everyone else also looked up, curiously glancing at Ma Hongjun.
"Because the dean once said that there was something bad in my Martial Soul. If I didn't use the Foundation Building Method to continuously purify the Fire Attribute of my Martial Soul, my fate would be uncertain as my Soul Power increased. So Grandmaster Chen Feng saved my life, and I am very grateful to him," Ma Hongjun said.
He glanced at Chen Feng. "Speaking of which, you share the same name as that Grandmaster. Did you change it on purpose?"
"No, this is my name from birth," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, so it's just a coincidence." Ma Hongjun lowered his head and continued eating.
Oscar, however, sensed something was amiss. He glanced at the strange expressions on the others' faces, then at Chen Feng, and said:
"Fatty, didn't you say before that this guy got in without taking the exam?"
"Yeah, but in the fourth round, he volunteered to fight Teacher Zhao with the others, which showed some guts," Ma Hongjun said.
"Have you ever wondered why he was able to get into university without taking the entrance exam?" Oscar felt his voice trembling.
"Because... he's the dean's illegitimate son?"
"Illegitimate child my ass! Didn't you ever consider that he might be that person?" Oscar punched Ma Hongjun excitedly.
"Who is it?" Ma Hongjun was still a little confused.
"That's the person you were so grateful to!" Oscar said, looking at him with exasperation.
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked at Chen Feng across the table. "You, are you...?"
"Guess," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Ma Hongjun froze for two seconds, then slammed his hand on the table.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Foundation Building Method was released six years ago. How old were you then? And there are rumors that..."
"You already know it's just a rumor." Oscar pointed to Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were watching the scene unfold, and asked pointedly:
"Before seeing them, did you believe there could be a twelve-year-old Soul Elder? As a student of Shrek, don't you know that geniuses defy common sense?"
"Most importantly, these two Soul Elder are with Chen Feng, but they didn't get the qualification for admission without examination. Tell me why."
Ma Hongjun stared blankly at Oscar, whose face was covered in a full beard, then stared blankly at Chen Feng, who was smiling. "You, you really are?"
"Yes, that's me." This time, Chen Feng didn't mince words.
As he gradually built up his base, he no longer needed to hide his identity.
However, there's no need to make a big fuss about it. Just let the people who need to know know. As Commoners geniuses with no background, it's easier to win over Ma Hongjun and Oscar if they know their identities.
"Hiss~ My God." Ma Hongjun gasped, forgetting all about his meal, and ran straight to Chen Feng's side.
"What's wrong with your brain? You were only six years old back then, weren't you?"
"I'm just good at Inductive Summarization," Chen Feng said modestly.
Oscar's voice trembled slightly as he said:
"Grandmaster Chen Feng, you..."
Just call me Chen Feng.
"Uh, Bro Feng, I have a question I'd like to ask you." Oscar still didn't call him by his first name, but instead used a slightly more respectful form of address, even though he was older than Chen Feng.
"You say."
"Do you have any research on Food-type Martial Soul?" Oscar asked with some anticipation.
Chen Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, but I only really understand Biological Spirit. I haven't even figured out my own Tool Spirit yet, so I can't offer you any help."
"I see." Oscar seemed a little disappointed, but still smiled and said, "But it's alright. You've already achieved so much at your age, I believe you can definitely solve these problems."
"I hope you can take my good wishes with you," Chen Feng said.
Time quickly passed to the next day.
After breakfast, all the students went to the playground.
As Ma Hongjun said yesterday, apart from the six members of Chen Feng, no one else passed the assessment this time.
In other words, apart from Dai Mubai who is not here, Shrek Academy currently only has eight students.
It's worth mentioning that Oscar shaved off all his beard today, revealing his handsome appearance.
The stark contrast astonished everyone; no one could have imagined that the burly man with the thick beard from yesterday would turn out to be such a handsome young man after shaving his beard.
Only Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar with envy and jealousy, muttering things like, "So what if she has a bitch's face?"
When everyone arrived at the large playground, Zhao Wuji was already waiting there.
"Boys, let's begin the lesson!" Zhao Wuji said as he activated his Martial Soul Possession.
After a low growl, a magnificent little giant appeared before Chen Feng and the others.
"We're not going to have to fight again, are we?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, it's just for you all to play a little game together." Zhao Wuji's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Bai Chenxiang.
"Little girl, go stand over there." Zhao Wuji pointed to an open space about ten meters away.
Although Bai Chenxiang was somewhat puzzled, she still stepped forward. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Do what a marksman should do." Zhao Wuji looked at the remaining people and grinned.
"Your task is to dodge this little girl's attacks within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you get hit, you'll have to run ten laps around the track. This game shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"It's pretty simple," Xiao Wu said.
"In that case, you go first, little girl." Zhao Wuji pointed at Xiao Wu, then drew a circle about a step wide next to her with his foot.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, the person hiding can't leave this circle."
"No problem at all." Xiao Wu confidently stepped into the circle.
But Chen Feng noticed something was wrong at that moment, "Teacher Zhao, why are you Martial Soul Possession?"
"Because I have one more thing to add," Zhao Wuji said with a malicious smile, "That is, this game must be played under enhanced gravity."
After saying that, Zhao Wuji's Third Soul Ring was injected into the ground, Xiao Wu immediately felt her body become unusually heavy.
"Does it still feel easy now?" Zhao Wuji asked with a smile.
"Very simple." Xiao Wu's words were unusually stubborn.
"Alright, I hope you still have that confidence later." Zhao Wuji looked at Bai Chenxiang and said:
"As for you, little girl, if someone manages to last an incense stick's time under your thumb, you only need to run one lap. But if I find out you're going easy on them, you'll have to run a hundred laps, and that's under conditions of Gravity Enhancement."
Bai Chenxiang swallowed hard. "I won't hold back."
"That's good." Zhao Wuji took out an incense stick and lit it.
"Start!"
Bai Chenxiang responded immediately, sending countless Feather of Wind hurtling towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu twisted her body to try to dodge, but due to the influence of gravity, her body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and movements that she could usually do easily became extremely difficult.
Not quite used to it, Xiao Wu was caught off guard and was hit by a Feather of Wind.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Wu," Bai Chenxiang said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't hold back, just do it the way you normally would." Xiao Wu waved her hand and started running around the playground.
Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction. "Next."
This teaching method was something he came up with during the battle yesterday. On the one hand, it can improve the accuracy of the archers' attacks, and on the other hand, it can improve the reaction speed, physical fitness, and other qualities of the other players.
However, the choice of a marksman cannot be made casually.
Ma Hongjun is no good because his flames deal area damage, and those peculiar Heavenly Flames, once started, never stop burning, making accidents very easy to happen.
Xiao Wu couldn't do it either, because her control over her Soul Power was too outstanding, as could be seen from the numerous times she flicked her wrist yesterday.
The fact that she dared to use a grazing bullet as a fighting method shows that her comrades trusted her a lot, and also that she was extremely confident in the accuracy of her attacks.
If she were to play the marksman role, Zhao Wuji were to unleash a Gravity Field, then the others might as well just stop playing and start running around in circles.
This will negate the training effect.
Therefore, Bai Chenxiang became the most suitable choice. The damage from Feather of Wind is not very strong, and even if someone is injured, Oscar's Tofu can be used to heal them.
Her control over her Soul Power isn't particularly outstanding, so having her play the archer role can serve as a training opportunity.
As for the fatigue caused by continuous attacks, it can be relieved by Oscar's Tofu.
There's nothing we can do about the depletion of Soul Power; at worst, we can just go for a run, which can be considered a form of extreme training.
After Xiao Wu came Ma Hongjun. His chubby figure made it particularly difficult for him to dodge, so he was hit after a short time and became one of the runners on the track.
Zhao Wuji's Gravity Field was so terrifying that even Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing were defeated and ended up in the running circle.
This is partly because they are not used to the significantly increased gravity, and partly because their evasive range is limited.
After Oscar and Ning Rongrong also failed, Bai Chenxiang was already panting heavily.
Fortunately, Oscar's Tofu helped her regain a lot of strength.
Only Chen Feng remained as the sole survivor of the evading faction. Instead of rushing into the circle, he asked:
"Teacher Zhao, can I use my Martial Soul to defend against it?"
"Sure, everyone except Tang San can use their Martial Soul," Zhao Wuji grinned.
"That's good." Chen Feng summoned the Tai Chi Bagua Sword.
Although the Feather of Wind's attack power is not as strong as Xiao Wu's Moon Blade, the sheer weight of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword makes it impossible to withstand.
Therefore, Chen Feng needs to use his First Soul Skill flexibly to block the Feather of Wind while minimizing the influence of the Gravity Field.
Bai Chenxiang's attacks were very Frequency, and Chen Feng was having a hard time resisting them due to the influence of the Gravity Field.
Over the past few years of training, he has become very proficient in changing the weight of his Martial Soul, but he still lacks an opportunity to fully integrate the light and Heavy Sword.
And now, that opportunity has arrived.
It is affected by the Gravity Field inside, and by the constantly flying Feather of Wind outside.
Under this pressure, Chen Feng began to try to incorporate light swords and Heavy Sword into the same framework.
This was something he had wanted to do for a long time but had never found a good opportunity to do.
And this framework is Tai Chi.
