Time is like water in a toilet bowl; once you flush it, it's gone. Two days later, it was time for Shrek Academy to start its semester.
Lin Feng was not assigned to Zhou Yi's class, but to the freshman class 9 taught by Mu Jin, which is the same class Ning Tian and Wu Feng were in in the original novel.
Ning Tian is the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in this generation, and possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.
Wu Feng is her protector, possessing a fiery red dragon martial soul, and harbors thoughts of defying etiquette towards Ning Tian.
As soon as Lin Feng entered the classroom, everyone's attention was drawn to him.
A martial spirit can influence its master's temperament and appearance.
Lin Feng was naturally influenced by the Qingfeng Sword Martial Soul, possessing an ethereal temperament like a gentle breeze and a tall, slender, fair-skinned physique. After the Qingfeng Sword evolved into the Kuangfeng Sword, his physique became even more muscular. He perfectly embodied the saying "slim when dressed, muscular when undressed."
The girls in the class were all stunned.
Even the homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, couldn't help but stare at him for a while longer; he was just too handsome.
"Teacher Mu?"
It wasn't until Lin Feng waved to her that Mu Jin seemed to snap out of a daze and introduced him, "This is Lin Feng, also a member of our freshman class nine... As the student with the second highest soul power in our class, let him be the vice class monitor. If any student is not satisfied, they can challenge him. By the way, his soul power is level twenty-seven!"
Before Mu Jin finished speaking, most of the male classmates' hostility towards Lin Feng instantly subsided. His level 27 soul power was enough to earn Lin Feng their respect.
The girls' eyes lit up even more. This handsome guy was both good-looking and strong, and they couldn't wait to rush up and talk to him.
Only one person was extremely displeased and even harbored hostility towards Lin Feng.
That is Wu Feng.
Because Ning Tian is also interested in Lin Feng?!
This was something she couldn't tolerate at all. So what if Lin Feng was level 27? Her soul power was level 25, and her martial soul was a top-tier red dragon. How could a mere agility-based character compare to her power-based character? Besides, her name also contained the character "Feng" (wind), so how was she inferior to this delicate-skinned pretty boy?
But seeing Ning Tian's enthusiastic expression, Wu Feng forcibly suppressed her anger. If Ning Tian insisted on choosing Lin Feng, she could accept it. As long as Ning Tian could be happy, she could even serve Lin Feng with him.
Lin Feng had no objection to Mu Jin's decision. He was too lazy to argue with this woman, so he simply found a seat and began cultivating silently.
-----------------
Three months later, in Hibiscus's office.
Hibiscus tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve, pleading pitifully:
"Lin Feng, please help me! I'll do anything you ask if you can help Ning Tian and Wu Feng win the freshman assessment."
The freshman assessment is an important plot point in the original novel where Huo Yuhao first shows his talent and fights Dai Huabin alongside Wang Dong.
Lin Feng originally just wanted to casually slack off and get a spot as a core disciple; he was too lazy to fight those reckless lunatics.
But Mu Jin kept pestering him, refusing to let him leave unless he agreed. Lin Feng sighed, "Fine."
"Lin Feng, you're so great! With you here, I'm sure I can give that old woman Zhou Yi a good slap in the face! After it's done, I definitely won't treat you unfairly. Ning Tian, Wu Feng, you two come here."
The two people who were called out quickly came to Lin Feng's side. Ning Qi had a rather androgynous temperament, with short blond hair that looked very neat, large light blue eyes with long eyelashes, and a few cute little freckles on his cheeks.
Wu Feng is tall and slender, with short, fiery red hair, unusually red eyes, exquisitely beautiful features, and skin as white as jade.
For some reason, she wore a leather jumpsuit today, revealing a pair of smooth, fleshy thighs, exuding a mature aura.
Ning Tian completely ignored Wu Feng's attire, staring at Lin Feng while sensing his aura and plotting how to get him into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
A large part of her purpose in coming to Shrek Academy was to recruit talented young people for the sect, and Lin Feng perfectly fit her criteria.
Wu Feng keenly noticed Ning Tian's gaze, and her heart was instantly filled with jealousy. In her memory, Ning Tian had never looked at her like that before!
She was the one who arrived first!
Why does Ning Tian always look at outsiders and never at her? Wu Feng's anger intensified, wishing she could stomp on Lin Feng's handsome face and rub it into the ground.
However, Lin Feng seemed oblivious to her angry gaze, and simply closed his eyes, standing and breathing in his soul power, pretending to know nothing.
Mu Jin didn't care about the three's performance. As long as Lin Feng promised to win the championship, her team would be the strongest among all the freshmen classes!
She had secretly sensed Lin Feng's martial soul; its strength and quality were impressive—it was huge and... no, incredibly powerful and handsome, ranking among the top in all the new students.
She was already looking forward to seeing how that old woman Zhou Yi would look after she slapped her in the face!
After Mulan announced its disbandment, Ning Tian took the initiative to stop Lin Feng:
"Lin Feng, we'll be fighting side-by-side as teammates tomorrow, but we don't know anything about you yet, which isn't good for teamwork. How about we train together?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Not interested."
Seeing his beloved Ning Tian being ignored by Lin Feng, Wu Feng's fiery temper, as fierce as a red dragon, could no longer be contained.
"Damn it, what kind of attitude is that?!"
Lin Feng was too lazy to argue with this brat and said coldly:
"I have no opinion. I'm going back to cultivate."
He then turned and left.
Wu Feng was furious and cursed, "Bah! Ning Tian kindly invited you to train with us for the competition. And you act all indifferent, what are you pretending for! Do you believe I'll pin you to the ground and beat you up!"
Lin Feng couldn't pretend he hadn't heard that. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed and said helplessly, "Do you really want to fight me?"
Wu Feng and Ning Tian instantly sensed that Lin Feng's entire demeanor had changed. If the previous Lin Feng gave people a cold feeling, like a block of ice that had stood for ten thousand years.
He was like a peerless weapon about to be unsheathed, exuding a dangerous aura and with a hint of madness in his eyes.
Seeing that he looked a little off, Ning Tian quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "No, no, Feng Mei didn't mean that. We just wanted to... um... have a little sparring with you."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, come on."
Although Wu Feng was somewhat frightened by Lin Feng, she still stubbornly insisted, "Let's fight! There are two of us, are we afraid of just one of you!"
