The two quickly walked to the edge of the training ground, made a turn in the corridor, and entered the lounge in the corner. Xing Shifang finally let out a sigh of relief.
"What were you planning just now?"
After sitting down, they chatted idly, and Lin suddenly remembered that Xing Shifang had something to tell him earlier.
"By the way, bro, I need to tell you something. That phenomenon just now wasn't just around me..."
Xing Shifang spoke mysteriously, hesitating with his words, which made Lin furrow his brows.
"Just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush, or I won't listen!"
"Alright, alright, who told you to be the boss? Bro, I have to tell you, last time I picked up Sister Meng from the dormitory, I saw a group of guys at her academy's entrance..."
Hearing this, Lin Xin's heart sank. A surge of unnamed anger rose within him, growing like a wildfire until he was filled with rage.
There is no room for a third person in love; people are always selfish in love, especially someone like Lin who is used to monopolizing Dream Source.
"Then why didn't you take action?"
With a loud bang, Lin slammed his hand on the table in front of him, as if he was ready to confront that group right then and there.
"Take action? Bro, you're too worked up. Sister Meng didn't even pay attention to them at that time. I just found them annoying, buzzing around her like flies, so I left."
Xing Shifang felt wronged by this question. Although he wanted to help, he had no reason to act; he didn't understand the situation at that moment and couldn't ask Dream Source how to intervene.
Lin Ye realized what was going on and clicked his tongue. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, feeling like a powder keg ready to explode.
He slammed the table again, stood up, and shouted, "Let's go see what they're up to!"
"Hey hey, bro, don't be impulsive! Sister Meng hasn't finished her class yet. What can you see by going now? Teacher Bai will come later; we can definitely go at noon!"
Xing Shifang quickly grabbed Lin, who had never seen Lin this angry before. Seeing Lin about to explode, he regretted telling him.
Being held back, Lin Ye regained some rationality, suppressing his anger as he waited for noon to pick up Dream Source.
Love always makes people lose their heads. Lin was not usually hot-tempered, but the reverse scale of a dragon must not be touched. Dream Source was Lin's reverse scale, and he was bound to explode.
It took half the time for Lin to return to normal.
Just because his face returned to normal did not mean the anger in his heart had extinguished; instead, it burned even more fiercely. This pent-up rage definitely needed an outlet, just waiting for those flies to come knocking.
The atmosphere in the lounge was somewhat oppressive, and Xing Shifang dared not say much. The two sat in Meditation, feeling the nameless fire igniting within Lin.
Beep beep beep!
It wasn't until the communicator rang that the two snapped back to reality. Xing Shifang hurriedly answered the call.
On the line were Baixiang Teacher and the bearded Bai Quexin. The bearded man frowned and asked, "Where have you two been? Weren't you supposed to stay at the training ground?"
"We're on our way!"
Xing Shifang quickly called out to Lin, and the two rushed toward the training ground. Lin stood up and took a deep breath, suppressing the raging fire within him once again.
……
"Where have you two been?"
Faced with Bai Quexin's furious questioning, Xing Shifang could only scratch his head and reply, "We were in the lounge for a bit. Teacher Bai, you arrived really quickly!"
"You two are so lazy; you haven't even trained yet and are already resting!"
Bai Quexin naturally did not give them a good look. Lin kept his head down and said nothing; he was not in the mood to explain at that moment.
Afterward, Bai Quexin exchanged a few words with Passionfruit, who then introduced the two to Bai Quexin before greeting them and leaving to discuss matters with other teachers.
Bai Quexin glanced at the two, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and said in a low voice, "Follow me!"
The two followed Bai Quexin to the free practice area of the training ground, which was equipped with anti-gravity protective measures that could prevent collisions when activated.
"You two, show me what you've got. Give it your all!"
Lin and Xing Shifang exchanged glances, understanding that Bai Quexin wanted to assess their strengths in order to tailor a training plan for them.
This was the advantage of individual instruction; there were few students in the Elite Class, allowing teachers to provide one-on-one guidance. They were particularly fortunate to have Bai Quexin, an experienced and skilled Martial Artist, teaching them, as he could monitor them closely at all times.
"Brother, let's get started!"
Xing Shifang made a gesture and wiped the smile off his face, suddenly becoming serious—this was the attitude of a martial artist.
"Don't worry, I'll give it my all!"
Lin cracked his neck, feeling the restless fire within him.
"That's what I like to hear!"
Xing Shifang did not back down, spreading his legs apart and assuming a rather unusual stance. Lin Ye flashed a charming smile and prepared his Tai Chi starting position.
Seeing their stances, Bai Quexin's eyes lit up; he thought to himself that these two were increasingly formidable. From their postures, it was clear they were both using Ancient Martial Arts.
However, after holding their stances for half a minute without either attacking first, Lin had no choice but to speak up: "I'll let you take the first move!"
This statement had a somewhat clever undertone; Tai Chi emphasizes responding to attacks rather than initiating them. While it sounded impressive, it actually benefited Lin as well.
"Then I won't hold back. Brother, here it comes!"
Xing Shifang was also growing impatient. He reached forward with both hands, his feet moving quickly in small steps. His movement was strange, bouncing around like someone with hyperactivity.
"Jeet Kune Do? How could this guy..."
Seeing Xing Shifang's two-step approach, Bai Quexin's eyes widened in shock. A thought flashed through his mind: this guy had an extraordinary background and practiced the unique Ancient Martial Arts of the Starry Martial Emperor... so he...
Xing Shifang's identity was becoming clear; he naturally had deep connections with the Starry Martial Emperor, perhaps even being a direct descendant.
While pondering, the two had already engaged in combat. Bai Quexin couldn't help but laugh; he wanted to see how Lin would handle the rapidly striking Jeet Kune Do.
Despite Xing Shifang's seemingly chaotic and irregular steps, it was precisely this lack of pattern that made it difficult for his opponent to predict his next move. His movements were ghostly.
Lin Ye remained calm, fixated on Xing Shifang, his gaze terrifying, like a hawk watching a rabbit.
The two held their ground for a moment longer. Xing Shifang continued to observe; given the gap in their strengths, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
Finally, Xing Shifang could no longer hold back. He employed his most proficient technique, feinting with a punch before delivering a real kick!
That punch aimed directly at Lin's face, packed with power and sounding quite intimidating.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since moved to defend themselves. However, Lin remained as still as a monk in meditation; even when the fist entered his defensive range and approached his hands, he did not move!
