My Body's Fine

"You're in big trouble."

These words carried such a powerful and intimidating weight in the silent crowd.

This also made the 31 students realize that this new instructor at the Martial Lecture Hall might be a little different from others.

After all, in everyone's mind, teachers wouldn't threaten students so directly...

Qing Chen was panting, but although he looked very tired, there was no sign of any external injury on his body.

What does this mean? It means that none of the 31 servants posed a threat to the new instructor!

This includes Wang Guang, the top soldier in the grassroots Group Army brought by Li Ke, the First Branch son of the Li family.

A chubby student said, "Is it E-Class? Aunt Changqing, you didn't bring a D-Class or C-Class expert, but then told us to bring an E-Class servant, did you...?"

Everyone realized that the chubby boy suspected Qing Chen of cheating!

This is actually a normal reaction, since no one had ever heard of any E-Class being able to kill so many opponents of the same class in a gauntlet battle before.

It should be noted that all 31 servants were unconscious, which on the battlefield was no different from killing them.

Li Changqing raised an eyebrow, walked over, and pinched the chubby boy's ear. "How dare you talk to your aunt like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" the chubby boy cried. "Aunt Changqing, I was wrong!"

Another student muttered, "We're not deliberately doubting you, Auntie, but this is just too outrageous! You yourself said that one E-Class took down 31 E-Class. Is that even scientifically possible?"

Xiao Tongyun couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Qing Chen is the Tigerweight Boxing Champion of City No. 18! He even killed Land Cruiser Class boxer!"

The name Qing Xiao Tu could be kept secret from others, but not from the Li family, so everyone has switched back to calling him Qing Chen.

When the students saw Li Tongyun speak up for them, they were all taken aback. She was the bully in their school, so her words naturally carried some weight.

They knew what underground boxing was, so when Li Tongyun said Qing Chen was the Tigerweight Champion of City No. 18, they didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

"Qing Chen? Is that Qing Xiao Tu?" someone said. "I've heard of that name, but we didn't have a chance to watch his fight to become the Tigerweight World Champion..."

At this moment, Li Ke walked through the back of the student crowd, squatted down next to his fellow martial arts expert Wang Guang, and calmly pinched the other's philtrum.

Qing Chen watched quietly from the side, and suddenly felt that this young man seemed rather interesting.

But then Wang Guang coughed twice and slowly woke up.

He touched his neck, trying to recall what had just happened.

In front of Qing Chen, Li Ke calmly asked Wang Guang, "Is this new instructor really only at E-Class?"

Upon hearing Li Ke's question, Wang Guang had already come to his senses. "Young Master, it's E-Class. He didn't use brute force; he used pure skill. Moreover, he was injured and couldn't use brute force."

Wang Guang was a master, so he naturally knew the difference between "skill overpowering" and "strength overpowering".

To be honest, Wang Guang's words showed some admiration for Qing Chen. Both were E-Class, and Qing Chen, despite being injured, chose to use Jujutsu to lock down and suffocate his opponent.

This way, they wouldn't engage in strenuous exercise that would worsen the injury, and it would also prevent them from touching the boy's rib injuries.

The strangest thing is that everyone knows Qing Chen only wants to use Jujutsu, but there's nothing they can do about it.

It's as if no matter how you plan to respond, the other party has already figured out how to counter it.

Wang Guang whispered to Li Ke, "Young Master, it's enough that he's here to teach you combat."

Li Ke understood. He turned to the other students and said, "A loss is a loss. The Li family cannot be sore losers. Welcome the new instructor."

Upon hearing this, the group of students looked at Qing Chen, who wasn't much older than them, and regardless of their reluctance, they all bowed their heads and greeted him, "Greetings, sir."

However, although these students have outwardly yielded, Qing Chen may not be willing to let it go.

The students, being the pride of the Li family, naturally believed that bowing their heads was the greatest respect they could give others.

Because they are the most superior people in this Inner World.

The Inner World has classes.

But for Qing Chen, it wasn't that simple. After catching his breath, he smiled slightly and said, "Just wait to die."

The students looked at each other, some at a loss, and then looked at Li Changqing.

This new instructor seems to be a bit different from the others!

Just now, when Qing Chen was challenged by the servants, she chose to stand aside and watch the show.

Now the tables have turned, and while the students are at a loss, she's prepared to hide on the sidelines and watch the show.

As for what kind of abuse these Li family members will suffer, what does that have to do with her!

Although she was the one who caused all of this.

Just then, the bell rang again from deep within the Zhixin Courtyard, signaling the start of class.

The students swarmed towards the main room. Li Changqing glanced at Li Tongyun and said, "What are you still standing here for? Go to class!"

Xiao Tongyun reluctantly went inside, turning back every few steps.

Qing Chen looked at Li Changqing: "Can I go in now?"

"Of course you can. You've already passed the most important hurdle," Li Changqing said with a smile. "Only when the Li family's children respect you will you be qualified to teach them."

"Let's go in then," Qing Chen said.

"Oh, it's not us going in, it's you going in yourself to report to the school's 'headmaster'," Li Changqing smiled. "Although you've passed the student hurdle, things aren't completely over yet."

As they were talking, an elderly man hurried in from outside the Zhixin Courtyard. He had a printed paper book tucked under his arm and completely ignored Qing Chen and the others at the door. He lowered his head and walked into the Zhixin Courtyard.

"Third Uncle," Li Changqing greeted.

The old man paused for a moment, then squinted at Li Changqing: "Oh, it's Changqing. Are you back to cause trouble again?"

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Qing Chen and quickly said to the old man, "What are you saying? How have I caused any trouble?"

The old man looked up at the sky, pondered for a long time, and said, "Oh, you graduated a long time ago. Alright, I won't talk to you about this now, I have to hurry up and prepare my lessons."

"Wait a moment, this is my new instructor. He will be working under you from now on, Uncle San," Li Changqing said to the old man.

The old man's eyes lit up. "What do you teach?"

Li Changqing explained, "To teach combat, the Martial Lecture Hall at Zhixin Courtyard is reopening today."

The old man paused for a moment, then said, "Bad luck."

Qing Chen: "???"

With that, the old man turned and entered the Zhixin Courtyard without saying another word.

Nan Gengchen was dumbfounded. This old man seemed a bit foolish, as if he didn't care about human relationships at all.

Li Changqing explained to Qing Chen, "This is the 'headmaster' of the school, my third uncle. He has no interest in pursuing fame or fortune in his life, and only wants to read books. He only serves as the headmaster of the school on a part-time basis. When he has nothing to do, he just reads books and doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs."

Qing Chen sighed, thinking that perhaps only conglomerates could raise such detached people who were indifferent to worldly affairs in the Inner World.

But the question is, why would the old man say it's bad luck...?

Li Changqing thought for a moment and patiently explained, "When my seventh brother opened the Martial Lecture Hall, he was also the headmaster. Then the Zhixin Courtyard was turned upside down, and my seventh brother went to the streets to fight with gangs, even taking an entire school of students to help. So, my third uncle has always held a prejudice against the Martial Lecture Hall and against the knights. Although I personally closed the Martial Lecture Hall later, he was the one who hated Martial Lecture Hall the most..."

Qing Chen thought to himself, "That makes sense."

If he were to become the headmaster, and had someone like his master who was good at causing trouble under his command, he would also be very annoyed.

But fortunes change, and this headmaster probably never expected that the wheel of fortune would turn and bring back another knight...

If the headmaster knew Qing Chen's identity as a knight, he probably would have said far more than just "bad luck".

Moreover, at this moment, Qing Chen also understood why Li Changqing said that students were only the first hurdle.

It seems the second challenge will be the teachers at Zhixin Courtyard.

The sins committed by the master will ultimately be borne by the disciple.

"Alright, go on in. We'll wait for you at Feiyun Courtyard." After saying that, Li Changqing led Li Yinuo, Nan Gengchen, and the others onto the floating vehicle and swaggered away!

Qing Chen seemed to be deep in thought. He stood at the door, glanced at Zhixin Courtyard, and then gently stepped inside.

The interior of Zhixin Courtyard was larger than he had imagined. After going around from the main hall to the back, he was surprised to find that there was another view behind the school.

Pavilions, artificial hills, and fish ponds—it has everything.

Further inside are the teachers' preparation and office spaces.

On his way here, Li Changqing mentioned that Zhixin Courtyard, including the headmaster, has a total of 7 teachers, each teaching different subjects: Chinese, mathematics, geography, physics, politics and history, chemistry, and biology.

These subjects are almost identical to those in the Outer World, except that they lack foreign languages and combine politics and history together.

Because federal history is too thin, it is somewhat inadequate to focus solely on it as a basic subject.

Moreover, politics and history have never been separate.

Politics, by its very nature, requires learning from history; otherwise, it is meaningless.

Li Changqing had told Qing Chen that the Li Clan Academy only taught basic knowledge. If he wanted to pursue further studies, he would have to go to the "Qinghe University" within the Federation, and the "Spark Military Academy" for military school.

Walking to the back courtyard of Zhixin Courtyard, a middle-aged man was sitting on a bamboo recliner in the inner room, leisurely flipping through the pages of his e-reader, as if he were reading the news.

Qing Chen walked over and politely asked, "Hello, I'm a new instructor. May I ask which office is this, and which desk should I sit at?"

The middle-aged instructor glanced at Qing Chen and said in a somewhat lazy tone, "The office is in the next room, but since you teach combat sports, you probably don't need a desk."

Qing Chen thought for a moment, "Whether I need it or not is another matter, but I need a place to stay."

The middle-aged instructor calmly said, "Go find a seat in the next room."

Qing Chen noticed that the instructors in this Zhixin Courtyard didn't seem to be very interested in the Martial Lecture Hall. The headmaster thought it was bad luck, and the middle-aged instructor in front of him clearly looked down on those who taught combat.

As the saying goes, all other pursuits are inferior, only studying is superior.

However, Qing Chen didn't come to Zhixin Courtyard looking for trouble. He caused a ruckus in the school as soon as he entered, which wouldn't look good if word got out.

So he ignored the middle-aged instructor and turned to go to the next room.

Inside the room, they found the headmaster they had just met, along with four other instructors.

The desks were all occupied; there wasn't a single empty desk.

The people inside seemed to have planned it all out, as no one gave him a second glance.

Qing Chen smiled, casually found a chair and pulled it to a corner, then took out all the textbooks for political history from the bookshelf and quickly flipped through them.

By this time, some of the instructors had begun to secretly observe Qing Chen.

They wanted to give this young combat coach a hard time, and then ridicule him when he caused trouble at his office.

But now it seems that the boy doesn't intend to cause any trouble; a chair is enough for him.

The teachers thought to themselves, "Perhaps this boy doesn't like to cause trouble?"

This would certainly be the best outcome; perhaps the school could have one more person to serve tea and water.

The Li Clan Academy stipulates that students must do everything themselves after entering the school, and this rule also applies to the teachers, who must take the lead.

At this moment, the instructor who was secretly observing Qing Chen muttered to himself, "The instructors at this Martial Lecture Hall are too young. They're about the same age as when they graduate from the academy, around seventeen or eighteen years old."

The fact that someone like this came to the Li Clan Academy must mean that Li Changqing got in through connections.

They had all heard that a pretty boy had recently appeared by Li Changqing's side. Could it be this young man?

In a large, secluded mansion like the Li family mansion, other news doesn't spread quickly, but scandals and gossip spread the fastest.

However, this has nothing to do with the instructors. As long as this Qing Chen doesn't cause trouble An Xin, no one cares.

The next moment, the instructor who was looking at Qing Chen noticed something was wrong.

He noticed that Qing Chen was quickly flipping through a political history textbook, seemingly trying to fit into the office atmosphere.

But the speed at which he flipped through the pages was so fast that it didn't look like normal reading at all.

The instructor shook his head. "A warrior is a warrior; he can't even put on a show."

Actually, it wasn't just this one instructor who noticed that Qing Chen was pretending to flip through the book; others noticed it too, but no one said anything.

Qing Chen spent about 20 minutes reading through the six political and historical textbooks, and then closed his eyes to digest them for another 20 minutes.

It must be said that the political and historical textbooks used inside the Li Clan Academy were indeed ruthless, recording many historical events and secrets that were unknown to outsiders.

They dare to write anything.

Yes, in a world controlled by conglomerates, the teaching materials used to deceive the public are for fooling the people of the Federation, but they cannot fool their own people.

You can lie to others, but you can't lie to your own children!

Qing Chen had also visited the public high school in the District 6 and looked at the textbooks there.

For example, public high school textbooks make no mention of history before the new era of human civilization, but the textbooks at the Li Clan Academy describe in detail how humanity was plunged into disaster due to Artificial Intelligence before the new era of civilization.

It was only then that Qing Chen clearly realized what "Zero," the creator of One, had actually done.

That is probably why no one in the conglomerate has ever vigorously developed "Artificial Intelligence," because they are all very clear about the kind of disaster that Artificial Intelligence civilization would bring once it appears.

Suddenly, Qing Chen remembered that there were so many internal books in the Li Clan Academy, and he felt as if he had found a treasure.

This is the most convenient place for him to understand the Inner World!

While the conglomerate was nurturing its own offspring, it revealed the bloody truth of the world to everyone.

After confirming that he had memorized all six political and historical textbooks, Qing Chen slowly opened his eyes.

He put the political history textbook back on the shelf, then took down the Chinese language textbook and quickly flipped through it.

This time, he finished reading it in 10 minutes. Compared to the literary depth of the Outer World, the Inner World was not worth reading at all. A few brilliant works were indeed very good, but there were far too few of them.

After finishing the Chinese textbook, Qing Chen switched to math, physics, biology, and chemistry.

He read it much faster this time, five minutes per section, and it only took him 20 minutes to read all of them.

It wasn't that Qing Chen was being perfunctory, but rather that there was no need to take it seriously...

The basic education in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology at the Li Clan Academy was far less rigorous than the exam-oriented education system Outer World.

Compared to the difficulty of competition in the Outer World, it's worlds apart.

I wonder if they put all the difficult content in the university here.

It's also possible that the Li Clan Academy felt that such a heavy workload was unnecessary during the early childhood education stage.

After all, each foundation has a quota of guaranteed admissions to "Qinghe University" and "Fire Seed University" every year, and 60% of the educational funding for each university comes from donations from the foundation.

Therefore, most students in the school do not need to compete with students outside.

This also reflects the encroachment of conglomerates on educational resources, depriving many children from ordinary families of the opportunity to pursue higher education.

At this moment, the other teachers in the office saw that Qing Chen had quickly flipped through the textbooks for math, physics, chemistry, and biology in just 20 minutes. They thought that this kid probably couldn't understand them, so it was normal that he could finish them so quickly.

Finally, Qing Chen took out geography textbooks. To his surprise, these textbooks even had a separate section dedicated to the Forbidden Zone!

This piqued Qing Chen's interest.

However, before he could take a closer look, the middle-aged instructor he had met outside walked into the room and looked at Qing Chen: "Um... what's your name again?"

"Qing Chen," Qing Chen introduced himself.

"Qing Chen, I'll be taking over your combat class tomorrow afternoon," the middle-aged instructor said. "Just say you're not feeling well during class, and then you can switch with my math class. Is that alright?"

"Yes," Qing Chen said earnestly, "I'm in good health."

Although he was injured, he was actually doing quite well as long as he didn't engage in strenuous exercise. Moreover, he got medicine from Jiang Xiaotang and recovered even faster than he had expected.

The middle-aged teacher paused for a moment. "I told you to say you weren't feeling well, but that was just an excuse. The important thing is that I need to help my students catch up on their math studies."

Qing Chen calmly said, "The math courses taught at the Li Clan Academy are so simple, I don't think we need to rush the pace."

The office suddenly fell silent.

There will be another update at 11 PM tonight, with 5,000 words in the chapter.

Thank you to two readers, Buddhist Scum and Young Master Queyue, for becoming new patrons of this book. You are both generous patrons, and may you have a long and peaceful life!
