16 Attracting Attention (2/2)
”He is still observing the martial moves of the combat masters? What's there to observe? Hasn't he learned those elementary martial arts before this?”
….
As head teachers, their judgments were naturally accurate and could tell Feng Lin's situation at a glance. All of them couldn't help but be shocked.
The headmaster sighed again. As an elite cultivator, he had seen many things and couldn't help but feel pity.
”This young man has never learned any martial arts before. The martial art he used at the first level was none other than the basic military fist, a martial art taught for free by the school. However, at the later levels, the attacks he used were all from the ancient martial arts used by the combat masters of the Illusory Martial Pagoda. Not only did he instantly learn them, but he could even use them freely as he willed, causing his combat prowess to soar. Seems like he is extremely talented with regards to martial arts. Initially, it was with much difficulty before he defeated his opponent, but he grew more and more relaxed as he progressed. If I'm not wrong, I think he has already awakened his martial heart. He is truly a genius in martial arts. If we discovered him earlier, we could've nurtured him heavily, and he might be able to become a genius of the monster-level and even qualify for interstellar college!”
The headmaster shook his head. It was truly such a pity.
”What? The headmaster actually gave such a high evaluation?” Some head teachers trembled in disbelief.
How high was the headmaster's evaluation? One must know that the peak geniuses in the other classes only received a slightly higher than average evaluation. Yet now, the headmaster actually said that this Feng Lin could become a monster-level genius?
If this Feng Lin continued to grow, wouldn't he become a huge threat to all their respective classes?
These head teachers were all shocked, but they soon heaved a sigh of relief when they noticed Feng Lin's vitality stats of 1.5.
”What a pity, everything is too late.”
”For every point increment in the vitality stats, it's considered a huge checkpoint. In any case, the college examination is starting soon, he wouldn't have the time to increase his vitality stats.”
”That's right. If not, a genius might really appear in the 17th class.”
...….
All of them sighed with regret on the surface but were secretly feeling happy.
It was too late for Feng Lin, there wasn't enough time for him to mature.
They had already judged Feng Lin as dead in their hearts.
The female head teacher was even more annoyed. If she had discovered Feng Lin's potential earlier, maybe… But sadly, everything was too late. Sigh…
”The head teacher of the 17th class, your class has such a genius, but why didn't you nurture him earlier?” The headmaster shook his head, his tone was filled with reproach.
The other head teachers glanced over with a look of rejoicing in the misfortunes of others.
”Headmaster, I have no idea as well. His name is Feng Lin, and before the mock vitality test, his vitality stats have always been at 0.4. He was just a normal student then. I have no idea why he suddenly explodes forth with so much potential.” The female head teacher was extremely puzzled as well.
”What? Are you joking?”
”Stop lying, 0.4 vitality stats earlier and 1.5 now? Who are you kidding?”
”How can his improvement be so quick? Unless it's a grand cultivator infusing his power into him to awaken his potential forcefully, such an improvement rate would be impossible. However, this is evidently not the case, or he would have already risen to the top much earlier. If that really happened, he might already be qualified for the interstellar college during his first year.”
...
The teachers in the surroundings discussed. Just like what the female teacher had expected, nobody believed her.
”It's all true.” The headmaster calmly spoke, he had checked through Feng Lin's past records.
As a student, every test they took would be recorded by the school's systems. There was no doubt that what the female teacher said was true.
This was actually true! Everyone felt incomparably shocked.
Their secret delights earlier were all gone now. This Feng Lin managed to raise his vitality stats so quickly and possessed such outstanding combat prowess. If he continued to grow, most probably, he would very soon be able to threaten them all…
However, time was too short. He shouldn't be able to make it to the gifted class right?
Should be impossible, there might be a chance, maybe…?
The headmaster's eyes grew bright again as his interest in Feng Lin was rekindled. The female head teacher came to her wits and hurriedly spoke, wanting to claim credit, ”If I didn't judge wrongly, Feng Lin should be considered those explosive-type students. With the pressure of the college examination, his potential suddenly exploded forth. I strongly suggest for the school to nurture him!”
”I don't agree. His vitality stats are too low. He doesn't have enough value to be nurtured!”
”Time is extremely limited; he wouldn't be able to make it.”
”That's right. After the explosive surge this time, his potential might have reached its limit. Let's not waste the school's resources!”
...
The school's resources were limited. If it was given to him, it meant that some other students wouldn't be able to be nurtured.
Seeing the slice of pie before them getting smaller, all the head-teachers vehemently disagreed. Many of them were actually afraid that a true monster-level genius might really be born if huge amounts of cultivation resources were used on him.
If that was the case, the geniuses of their respective classes would surely be extremely miserable.
In their hearts, they already treated Feng Lin as the greatest threat in the competition over resources for their students.
Upon seeing these people ganging up to object, how could the female head teacher not be clear of their intentions? She felt extremely nervous and angry as she shouted, ”How do you all know that Feng Lin's potential wouldn't continue to explode?”
”How do you know then if his potential has not been exhausted? Such a thing can only occur once, it's impossible for a miracle to appear the second time!”
”That's right, he was merely lucky.”
”From his information, Feng Lin comes from an ordinary background. Without sufficient resources to sustain his growth, how much potential can he have?”
....
The other head teachers all objected in unison.
”You guys…” The female head teacher was closed to exploding and was prepared to shoot back with mocking words.
Seeing that the arguments between the head teachers were getting worst, the headmaster stepped in and said, ”Enough, stop arguing. This student is undoubtedly a genius. It's just that his current vitality stats are a little low.”
He made a decision, ”Don't tell him anything yet. Let's watch his future performance before we decide. If his potential continues to explode, we will treat him as a candidate eligible to take the college exam, and we will heavily nurture him!”
With the headmaster expressing his attitude, the others could only give in.
But in any case, since this little monster didn't receive any real benefits yet, their purposes could have been considered achieved. The other head teachers glanced at each other while they smirked silently.
However, the female head teacher of the 17th class had almost cracked her teeth by gritting them too much.
Feng Lin had no idea what just happened. He didn't expect that his sudden improvement would cause such a huge commotion among the school's staff.
At this moment, he was fully focused on observing his opponent on the next level.
The roar of gunfire could be heard. He was in a bloody interstellar battlefield.
A human figure clad in metallic armor stood in the field. Bullets flew by everywhere as gunfire roared. A bloody stench permeated the atmosphere, and corpses could be seen littering the ground.
That figure stood there unmoving, radiating a war-torn iron-blooded aura. His entire person was like a treasured blade out of its sheath, radiating extreme sharpness, capable of slicing apart people at any moment.
To his surprise, Feng Lin discovered that his current opponent was actually an interstellar cultivator in a mecha-suit.
