What would come would come.

He felt the faint killing aura that the instructor inadvertently emitted.

Lin Bai knew that this was an Awakened with real skills.

From the looks of it, he had been on the battlefield and fought to the death with Origin Beasts or subterranean aliens.

… Sure, I have the ability to take care of him.

“Brother Lin…”

Li Tongwu and the others looked at him worriedly.

Lin Bai pursed his lips and patted Li Tongwu’s shoulder to reassure him. Then, he walked out firmly and stood in front of the instructor.

“Instructor, are you looking for me?”

“At least you have some backbone. You’re not a coward.”

The instructor sized up Lin Bai a few times and felt that the youth in front of him did not have any hostility. He was not the prickly person he had imagined, so he softened his tone and asked, “Do you know why I’m looking for you?”

“I know. I didn’t participate in the military training and acted independently, causing a very bad impact on everyone.”

Lin Bai did not defend himself and looked honest.

“If you know, why did you still do it? Why did you come to Lijoann? Don’t you have any idea?”

The instructor lectured sternly, “In today’s world, evil beasts are surging and alien races are surrounding us. I don’t know how many heroes have died in exchange for this peaceful place!”

At this point, his emotions suddenly became intense. His eyes lit up, as if he could see his comrades fighting for the human race one after another. He could not help but point at Lin Bai and say angrily, “But you, you don’t want to improve! You don’t cultivate martial arts and insist on writing novels… Can writing novels kill enemies?!”

After saying this, it was extremely infectious, causing many students to look at Lin Bai differently.

Initially, these people only wanted to watch the show, but now, there was more or less a hint of blame on their faces.

Li Tongwu and the others felt even more ashamed.

They were indeed the ones who instigated Lin Bai to give up military training and go to an internet cafe to write books instead.

This was equivalent to scolding them all.

Lin Bai looked at the excited situation and shook his head helplessly.

“Instructor, is there a possibility that you can become stronger by writing novels?”

“Nonsense!”

The instructor snorted. “It’s a taboo to multitask in martial arts. Do you think you’re invincible just because you’ve learned a few moves?”

“…”

Lin Bai opened his mouth, but no words came out. He fell silent.

The two of them did not get along.

What he meant was that writing novels was the same as practicing martial arts. It could be used as a way to increase one’s strength.

On the other hand, the instructor understood that he could cultivate martial arts while writing books without delay. He thought that this was impossible…

After thinking about it, he decided not to explain. The instructor could think whatever he wanted.

No matter what kind of punishment he was going to receive, Yours Truly was going to accept it.

He couldn’t possibly be expelled just because he didn’t participate in the military training, right?

Heh…

He had paid for it!

“Looks like you’re not convinced and look down on this military training.”

The instructor raised his eyebrows. “The most important thing in martial arts cultivation is to fight steadily. The military training is to sharpen your Qi and blood. When you break through to the Apprentice realm and enter the Martial Artist realm in the future, you will be stronger than others by 30%… You don’t believe me? If you don’t believe me, let’s fight!”

Lin Bai did not believe it and said speechlessly, “Instructor, aren’t you bullying me by fighting me…”

“Don’t worry, I’m just letting you have a taste of it.” The instructor added, “I’ll control my strength and try my best to suppress it to the level of an Apprentice.”

“I haven’t even fought before. You can crush me with just your combat instincts, can’t you?” Lin Bai didn’t buy that at all.

The instructor was silent.

He did neglect this point.

After thinking about it carefully for almost a minute, he continued to explain the rules.

“Then let’s have a sparring session by exchanging three moves. We’ll only compete in strength and not technique. Let’s see who takes the most steps back. If you lose, train well in the future and don’t skip class. How about that?”

Lin Bai also wanted to feel the strength of this world’s Martial Artists. He nodded and said, “And what if I were to win?

The instructor could not help but laugh. “You can skip my classes in the future if you can win against me!”

“Alright! It’s a deal!”

…

The news that the instructor was going to compete with the a student quickly spread.

Students from the other teams ran over to watch the commotion, even the instructors got themselves involved. When they saw the two people in the arena getting into a fighting stance, they whistled wildly and teased loudly.

“Old Wei! How old are you already? Why are you still angry with a little kid? Aren’t you embarrassed?!”

“Sigh! It doesn’t do anything for you if you win and you’ll lose your dignity if you lose!”

“Can you do it, Wei Feng? You can’t beat the captain, so you came to vent your anger on the students, right? Huh? Speak!”

The instructor called Wei Feng looked pale. “I’m teaching my students martial arts knowledge. What are you talking about? Go away! Get lost!”

The instructors laughed and put their arms around each other’s shoulders, not forgetting to boo Wei Feng.

Wei Feng took a deep breath and did not look at his comrades who were watching the commotion. He walked to the equipment area not far away and brought back a soft cushion, handing it to Lin Bai.

“Hold it tightly by your side. When I attack later, you must look at the right position and use your shoulder to block it. Do you understand?”

“Okay.”

Lin Bai originally wanted to refuse. He had the Golden Bell Shield Iron Skin Technique and he wanted to test the defensive effect of this martial art. However, he did not object, seeing the instructor’s good intentions.

Wei Feng took two steps back, ready to attack.

Lin Bai stood straight and raised the cushion high.

“…”

He didn’t even pose for defense, neither did he bend his legs or lower his center of gravity. He probably wasn’t even an Apprentice, right?

Seeing this, Wei Feng frowned slightly and took another step forward. He prepared again and adjusted his strength.

He had no choice.

He was afraid of hurting Lin Bai.

Before attacking, he thought for a moment and decided to give up on punching. He directly pressed his fist against the soft cushion, planning to use the force of his body to push Lin Bai back.

Wei Feng counted down silently in his heart.

Three… two… one!

All the muscles in his body suddenly tightened, and streams of Inner Breath that were like slithering snakes flashed under his skin, surging towards his right arm at lightning speed.

Wei Feng knew how terrifying his punch was.

80% of the strength of his own punch could still shatter a traditionally made cement brick wall into pieces.

As for Lin Bai… The force was evenly distributed with the protection of this specially made soft cushion. He would receive some recoil force at most, so it was no big deal.

Wei Feng thought about it and focused his gaze on the spot in front of him.

Lin Bai blinked and looked at him innocently.

The figure that was so weak that it could collapse at a touch in his eyes was actually standing still with one leg crossed at an angle!

Wei Feng was stunned.

… How… How could he have no reaction?
