Try to Make a Move

Star City Academy, Library.

In a corner of the reading room, Feng Qi and Lin Ran were engrossed in the books in their hands, their expressions focused as they entered a state of study.

For the past three days, he had basically spent his time studying in the library with Lin Ran.

Even though he could obtain cultivation methods from the future, Feng Qi always believed that the basics should not be neglected, otherwise it would be too easy to expose his abnormality.

After all, a genius who understands profound content without a foundation is too unbelievable.

In addition to this, he occasionally accompanied Lin Ran to class.

During this time, at the strong request of the students, he also taught a few classes, which also received unanimous praise from the students... and a round of flattery from Lin Ran.

Now he and Lin Ran had become the core of heated discussions among students in many classes at Star City Academy.

But these few classes had also drained his "foundation."

Now he had completely taught the students Fierce Tiger Fist and Body Tempering Art, and he had no other stock in his mind.

At this time, he particularly longed for the "Infinity Memory" function described by the narration.

With the ability to never forget what he saw, he no longer needed to watch repeatedly and memorize by rote every time he entered the future dream. He could easily get through it in one go, saving both time and effort.

"Brother Qi, I want to read books on Cultivation Method Research," Lin Ran leaned over and whispered at this moment, his handsome face full of longing.

"Finish reading Spell Trajectory 0 in your hand first."

"You are stifling a future master of Cultivation Method Studies."

"I think I'm saving the world." After glancing sideways at Lin Ran, Feng Qi continued to lower his head and flip through the book in his hand.

Hearing these words, Lin Ran felt inexplicable, but could only lower his head dejectedly.

During this time, Lin Ran had asked him for advice on Cultivation Method Studies more than once, and Feng Qi had not refused, but he hadn't taught anything either.

Agreeing was just a delaying tactic, otherwise Lin Ran would definitely look for other channels to learn Cultivation Method Studies.

He felt it was safer to keep Lin Ran, this ticking time bomb, by his side.

Since Lin Ran had already constructed the framework of "Seal Incantation Stream spells" now, it was possible that he also had the framework of a certain cultivation method path in his mind, so he had to guard against it strictly.

Fortunately, Lin Ran never refused his requests, which prevented his "stifling dreams" plan from dying before it even started.

Time came to noon.

Feng Qi and Lin Ran went straight to the Academy Restaurant, preparing to get their meals as usual.

At this time, they were surprised to find that Mu Qing, who always arrived at the restaurant earliest regardless of wind or rain, was not there.

"Strange, Senior Mu Qing loves to eat so much, why isn't she here today?"

"I'll go look for her, you eat first." With that, Feng Qi immediately turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Based on his understanding of Mu Qing, she would definitely be there at mealtime.

Besides the reason of fast digestion, eating had become a way for Mu Qing to regulate her emotions, and it was also the way her father told her to be strong.

So he guessed that Mu Qing might have encountered trouble.

"Brother Qi, I'll go with you. Did Senior Mu Qing encounter trouble?" Lin Ran followed up and asked at this moment.

"Not sure, let's split up and look first."

"Okay."

Then the two separated and began searching for Mu Qing in the academy.

East side of the academy, gymnasium.

Inside the 800-square-meter Body Tempering Room, various exercise equipment was placed.

As one of the core areas within the academy, the academy allocated a large amount of funds each year to replace and update various exercise equipment for the students to use.

At this time, in a corner of the Body Tempering Room, Mu Qing looked coldly at the three girls standing in front of her.

"Stay away from me."

"It's the first time I've seen a Rune Modifier. What abilities do you have? Show us." The leading girl had a buzz cut, was chewing something in her mouth, and was looking at Mu Qing with a mocking expression.

Although they were in Star City Academy, they were wearing the school uniforms of Winter Academy, clearly exchange students like Lin Ran.

Just now, when they were exercising, they accidentally saw Mu Qing hit an extremely astonishing power value, and their hearts were immediately filled with curiosity.

But after getting closer and finding out that Mu Qing was a Rune Modifier, their curiosity turned into contempt.

"Stay away from me." Mu Qing's expression remained cold.

"Show us your abilities first." Forcing Mu Qing into a corner, the girls' faces were full of playful smiles.

Mu Qing didn't respond again. She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions.

"Slap!" Just then, the leading buzz-cut girl suddenly slapped Mu Qing.

"Told you to show us, be obedient!"

Mu Qing's chest heaved violently, but she didn't choose to fight back, because she was afraid that once she made a move, she would completely lose control, and then it might cause irreparable consequences.

"Ho, as expected, she's a freak. Her face didn't even turn red after being slapped. Her physical quality is indeed as strong as described. I just don't know what her limit is." As she spoke, the leading girl revealed a malicious smile.

Unlike Star City Academy, Winter Academy's teaching environment always followed the rule of "the weak are prey to the strong."

Therefore, bullying classmates was a very normal thing in school.

As long as there were no serious injuries or disabilities, even the teachers wouldn't overly restrict the students' freedom to act.

Although extreme, this environment also nurtured many combat geniuses. Many leaders of famous Domain Battle Squads graduated from Winter Academy.

And this time, three excellent exchange students from Winter Academy also brought their habits to Star City Academy.

Upon discovering that Mu Qing was a Rune Modifier, something only recorded in books, they immediately became curious and wanted to try and understand her.

But Mu Qing's resistance stirred up the hostility in their hearts.

Facing Mu Qing, who remained cold and even refused to look them in the eye, they chose to attack.

After cornering Mu Qing, the three girls began to punch and kick her.

Facing the attacks, Mu Qing never chose to fight back.

The crimson light in her eyes flickered non-stop as she constantly suppressed the anger in her heart and controlled her emotional changes.

"Freak, fight back!"

"Let us see the strength of a Rune Modifier, freak!"

"Didn't they say Rune Modifiers are generally brutal? Why are you so weak?"

Facing the provocation, Mu Qing didn't respond. She curled up her body and remained motionless, letting the punches land on her.

At this moment, the leading girl raised her right hand and suddenly smashed it towards Mu Qing's head.

"Enough!" Just then, an angry roar sounded, interrupting the girl's attack.

The person who arrived at this moment was none other than Feng Qi.

To find Mu Qing, he first went to her dormitory building, asked the dorm supervisor, and got a few places where Mu Qing often stayed. Then he started searching them one by one.

But what he didn't expect was that when he found Mu Qing, she was being bullied.

Hearing the angry roar, the three girls from Winter Academy turned their heads to look at Feng Qi, their expressions stunned.

Seeing Feng Qi walking towards them, the leading girl said indifferently:

"Is something wrong?"

Feng Qi didn't answer. He walked up to the girl and stopped, then slapped her across the face.

Slap!

The girl's expression changed instantly. The two girls beside her took a step forward and surrounded Feng Qi.

Just as they were about to make a move, another voice came:

"Try to make a move!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, the anger on the faces of the three girls instantly turned into fear.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Ran had also arrived.
