For the other children, aside from crying and fussing when they had first been sent to kindergarten, the days afterward were quite pleasant.

Although kindergartens on Earth Origin Star had a few more physical training classes than those on Blue Star, play was still the main focus overall.

But that was not the case for Lin Xuan.

During his first year after enrollment, he made full use of nearly every day at kindergarten to grind experience, rarely wasting any time.

Especially since Director Huang had spoken to his homeroom teacher, presumably explaining how he was different.

So even when the other children played together during free time while he chose to grind experience alone and seemed somewhat unsociable, his homeroom teacher turned a blind eye.

That noon.

After lunch, the other children were taking their afternoon nap.

As usual, Lin Xuan chose to go into the courtyard to grind experience.

At kindergarten, he generally did not practice the True Meaning Swimming Dragon Step, because his current speed was indeed a little too eye-catching.

The True Meaning Swimming Dragon Step also complemented Toddling. If he truly wanted to achieve any training effect, the results would probably be rather exaggerated.

Therefore, he usually practiced only the True Meaning Five Elements Fist, along with Throwing and the other skills he had acquired later.

"You are earnestly practicing the True Meaning Five Elements Fist. Proficiency +2" "You are comprehending fist intent through earnestly practicing the True Meaning Five Elements Fist. Proficiency +2, Constitution +0.01, Spirit +0.01"

Lin Xuan carefully practiced each move and stance in the courtyard.

Judging by his posture alone, he already possessed thirty percent of Lin Rou's former flair.

However, Lin Xuan knew himself well enough to know that only his form looked similar.

If he truly possessed thirty percent of Lin Rou's former strength already, he could take the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination right then and likely achieve a decent result.

"Hmm?"

As Lin Xuan focused on comprehending fist intent, his ears suddenly twitched, and the movements of his hands slowed slightly.

The next moment, he saw two figures walk down the stairs. They seemed to have come down from the senior class on the second floor.

Looking closely, the child being led by the hand on the right was Duo Duo.

"Xuan Xuan Younger Brother? You didn't take a nap either?"

Duo Duo immediately noticed Lin Xuan in the courtyard as she came down the stairs. Her bright, lively eyes curved into crescents, and her face was filled with irrepressible delight.

"I couldn't sleep, so I asked Peach Teacher for leave and came out for a walk," Lin Xuan said, shaking his head.

The Peach Teacher he mentioned was the homeroom teacher of his junior class, whose full name was Tao Xiuxiu.

But at kindergarten, Teacher Tao naturally became Peach Teacher.

Lin Xuan did not want to dwell on the matter. Instead, he looked at Duo Duo and the person beside her. "Why aren't you napping either, Duo Duo?"

At Lin Xuan's question, Duo Duo answered without hesitation, "Teacher Hu said there's something going on at home, so Mama asked Teacher Hu to take me home."

The Teacher Hu Duo Duo mentioned was the female teacher currently leading her downstairs, who looked to be around thirty.

Lin Xuan recognized her as well, because Teacher Hu was Duo Duo's homeroom teacher and had also taught classes for Lin Xuan's group.

When Teacher Hu saw Lin Xuan, she recognized him too and smiled at him. "Then you play first, Lin Xuan. I'll take Duo Duo home."

As she spoke, she intended to lead Duo Duo toward the parking lot.

"Teacher Hu—!"

Lin Xuan called out to Teacher Hu.

"Hmm? What is it, Lin Xuan?" Teacher Hu had no choice but to stop and turn around, asking patiently.

"I haven't gone to Duo Duo's house to play in a long time. Can you take me with you?" Lin Xuan asked Teacher Hu with innocent eyes.

"Th-this doesn't seem very appropriate. Duo Duo's mother only asked me to take her home," Teacher Hu said hesitantly.

However, Duo Duo lit up with excitement upon hearing that. "Let Xuan Xuan Younger Brother come with us, Teacher Hu! Xuan Xuan Younger Brother goes to my house all the time. Mama won't disagree!"

Lin Xuan added, "Or Teacher Hu, could you call Auntie Li and ask? If Auntie Li doesn't agree, then I won't go."

"There's no need to call. Since you often go to Duo Duo's house, Lin Xuan, then come along," Teacher Hu said, changing her mind.

"Thank you, Teacher Hu!"

Lin Xuan thanked Teacher Hu.

"Then let's go quickly. Don't delay what we need to do," Teacher Hu said, motioning for Lin Xuan to follow.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and immediately followed her.

On a secluded street two kilometers from Double Leaf Kindergarten.

Director Huang, dressed in a yellow plaid shirt and wearing pale yellow sunglasses, appeared on the street with an expressionless face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The notorious Lightning Flash Violent Ape actually became the director of a kindergarten. No one would believe it if they heard."

A seductive woman in tight leather clothes appeared at the other end of the street and walked toward Director Huang. She held a weapon that looked both like an iron chain and an iron whip, dragging it along the ground as she walked.

Clank, clank—

As she drew closer, the sound of metal scraping against the ground rang out.

"Do you need something?" Director Huang asked coldly.

"Can't I come visit an old friend if I don't?" the seductive woman asked with a smile.

"You and I can hardly be called friends. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Director Huang turned to leave as he spoke.

"They say it takes a thousand years of cultivation to share the same pillow. We did share a bed, after all. Are you really going to be so heartless, darling?"

The seductive woman spoke in a pitiful tone.

"That doesn't sound like something Thousand-Faced Fox would say. Is something wrong with your brai— You're stalling for time?!"

Director Huang had just been about to mock her when he suddenly realized something!

In an instant!

He moved to rush back!

At the same time, the iron whip in the seductive woman's hand lashed toward Director Huang's back, lengthening as it flew!

Though Director Huang did not turn around, he abruptly dodged to the side.

Bang!!

A violent crash rang out. The woman's whip carved a crack over ten meters long and a meter wide into the street!

If the ground had been split apart like that, one could imagine how severe the injury would be if that whip struck a person!

"Thousand-Faced Fox, are you looking to die?"

Director Huang took off his pale yellow sunglasses and crushed them in one hand. His face was filled with savage ferocity!

Even normally, he already looked exceptionally intimidating.

When Ye Hongyu had brought Lin Xuan to kindergarten to enroll, Director Huang had not been wearing sunglasses in his office and had given Ye Hongyu quite a fright.

Without sunglasses, even his smile could make children cry. One could imagine just how terrifying his appearance was.

Now that he was consumed by fury, he was more than ten times as fierce and vicious as usual!
