Chapter 157 Hall Master
Today is the first day of the official start of the school year at Qingfeng Academy, and Xiao Chong went to the school very early.
Fatty and the others naturally couldn't come along; the tuition was too high, and they couldn't afford it.
The reason they were brought to Refining Heart City was simply to broaden their horizons and improve their abilities so that they could have better development on their future cultivation path.
Therefore, after assigning cultivation tasks to Fatty and the others and leaving some cultivation stones, Xiao Chong went to Qingfeng Academy alone.
As soon as he entered the academy gate, Xiao Chong's spirits immediately lifted.
Although Qingfeng Academy is not well-known in Lianxin City and can only be classified as the lowest-ranked academy, its strong academic atmosphere is incomparable to that of the small Xiao Family Clan Academy.
The secluded paths are all paved with bluestone slabs, covered with mottled moss, and the traces of time give the place a sense of history.
Along the path, evergreen pines and cypresses can be seen everywhere, and groups of students often sit on stone benches under the trees, discussing various spiritual cultivation issues.
With the spirit of a scholar, he was bold and unrestrained, pointing out the flaws in the country and writing passionately, regarding the powerful officials of the past as mere dust!
At this moment, an inexplicable feeling of emotion filled Xiao Chong's heart, making him feel as if he had returned to those unforgettable youthful days in college.
However, beautiful flowers don't last forever, and beautiful scenery is hard to preserve. In the blink of an eye, I have spent another seventeen years in this world.
It's hard to say which is better or worse, but life in this world will definitely be more exciting, that's for sure.
Along the way, Xiao Chong walked and stopped, sometimes pausing to look around, sometimes smiling knowingly, and before he knew it, he had entered the school.
Because today's lesson is a basic course, there aren't many students in the classroom, only a dozen or so at most.
The students who come to Lianxin City to study are all from wealthy and noble families, and most of them have profound backgrounds. These students have received systematic education since childhood, and their cultivation level is at least at the Martial Life Realm. They have no interest in basic courses at all.
Only students like Xiao Chong, who came from small towns, would take basic courses seriously. Among the many students, he was an anomaly. Although the Xiao family's academy also taught the basics of cultivation, the instructors' level was far inferior to that of the masters here.
The instructor, surnamed Wang, was a very kind man and the head teacher of Xiao Chong's class, similar to his homeroom teacher in his previous life. Therefore, although the students below the hall had no interest in the basic courses, no one dared to skip class.
But it was precisely because of Master Wang's good temper that the students behaved very casually, with many looking around aimlessly or even sleeping soundly with their heads covered.
Master Wang disregarded all of these things. In his words, looking around was acceptable, but loud noise was not; sleeping was acceptable, but snoring was not. As long as it didn't interfere with regular teaching, it was fine to skip the basic courses.
In any case, which student who comes here to study hasn't received the most orthodox and rigorous basic cultivation education? The reason for arranging such a course is entirely due to the academy's strict regulations.
But Xiao Chong's behavior was completely different from that of the other trainees.
He knew that his knowledge in the clan's academy was limited, and he only had a superficial understanding of many cultivation techniques. These most basic things, which were looked down upon by others, actually gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.
He listened attentively and happily all morning, as if he were hearing the great road for the first time.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the classroom was quite strange. One teacher was lecturing with great enthusiasm and spittle flying everywhere, while a group of students were drowsy and uninterested. Only one person sat upright, listening with great interest and complete absorption.
Around noon, the course finally ended, and the students immediately perked up and headed to the cafeteria in the courtyard.
After listening to a bunch of rambling lectures all morning, my energy is completely depleted. If I don't replenish it now, what fun is there in life?
But just as everyone stood up, they stopped in their tracks because of a remark by Master Wang.
"Xiao Chong has a positive attitude and listens attentively in class, making him a role model for all of you. Therefore, I have decided that Xiao Chong will serve as your head of the hall from now on," Master Wang said to the students with a smile, looking at Xiao Chong.
There are many classes in the academy of Lianxin City. In each class, the head teacher will designate a student to lead the class and manage the affairs. This student is called the head of the class, similar to the class monitor when Xiao Chong was studying in his previous life.
Upon hearing this announcement, the trainees were taken aback and all turned their attention to Xiao Chong with hostility.
But since it was Master Wang who made the decision, they couldn't openly oppose it; they could only harbor ill intentions in their hearts.
Master Wang was kind-hearted and didn't think too much about it. After announcing the appointment, he left the lecture hall directly.
Xiao Chong, however, was keenly aware of the hostility these students displayed. Having experienced life and death in the Southern Wilderness, and due to his cultivation of the Mind Master's Path, his mental strength was far more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he naturally sensed it upon seeing their gazes.
It's only the first day of school, am I really going to be put on the spot? This is a dangerous place, not a place to linger. If we're going to fight, we need to eat first! After thinking about it, Xiao Chong really didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he followed in Master Wang's footsteps and left the lecture hall, heading straight for the cafeteria.
As soon as the two left, the remaining students erupted in chaos.
"Who does this kid think he is? What makes him our senior?" A tall, thin student with a cold expression looked at the other students with a questioning gaze, feeling indignant.
The other trainees remained silent, indicating that they didn't know either.
In the silence, a thin student spoke up: "I heard they're from Flying Moon City."
The thin-faced student pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where is Flying Moon City? Does anyone know?"
"I've never heard of it before, it must be a small place." The trainees looked at each other for a while and then shook their heads in unison.
"Why did the master appoint him as the head of the hall? Is it because his martial arts skills are very high?" The thin-faced student frowned and asked again in confusion.
"Tch, what kind of experts could someone from such a small place possibly have?" someone scoffed.
"Indeed, he listens to even the basic training courses with great interest, so how could he possibly be an expert!"
"I think the teacher chose him as the head of the hall because he listened attentively in class and pleased the teacher. It has nothing to do with his martial arts cultivation!"
The other trainees burst into laughter and nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, why let him ride roughshod over us? Any one of us comes from a more prestigious family than that kid, so how can we let him control us? If you've got guts, come with me and teach him a lesson later!"
The student with the long, thin face began to urge the others on.
"Yes, no one should be allowed to be the head of this hall!"
"He's probably eating in the cafeteria right now. Let's go there together, beat him up, and show him what he's got!"
"go!"
Incited by the thin-faced man, the trainees immediately became enraged and stormed towards the cafeteria.
