37 The Generous Wang Wenfeng

Upon hearing that, Chen Feng was stunned.

Chen Feng was not particularly surprised when the principal said that he wanted Chen Feng to stay and teach. In fact, this possibility had crossed Chen Feng's mind before.

After all, it was definitely safer to be a teacher and stay in school than be in the outside world.

However, Chen Feng did not expect that the principal wanted to take him under his wing as his disciple.

Seeing how surprised Chen Feng was, Wang Wenfeng revealed an amiable smile and explained the reason.

"Actually, after the awakening ceremony ended, I found myself admiring you. This is also the reason why I gave you a library key."

"I'm the principal, and I have a lot of things to handle, but I more or less noticed that you are studying hard every day."

"To be honest…"

"I can't use the word 'hardworking' to describe you."

"You're studying like your life depends on it!"

Hearing that, there was no sign of bashfulness on Chen Feng's face.

After all, he was indeed cultivating diligently 24 hours a day.

Chen Feng felt that he could accept such praise.

"At first, when I heard that you were reading all night in the library, I felt sorry for you. I felt that you didn't cherish your body, and if you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it."

"But even till today, every day, you're diligently studying in the library all night."

"So…"

Wang Wenfeng's voice trailed off. He paused and put on a reassuring expression.

"I know that this is probably the ability of your special class. Perhaps you're able to go without sleep the entire night because of it."

"You don't have to tell me about it, either. Your ability is a special class' secret. It's a top secret. I can understand."

"I just want to tell you something."

"Cultivating and improving oneself is something that everyone wishes to do."

"However, cultivation is not just for the sake of improving yourself."

"Learning profound knowledge, understanding this world, and understanding yourself… Isn't this also a type of cultivation that everyone has to do?"

Hearing that, Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully.

As for Wang Wenfeng, he seemed to reminisce about his past.

"Back then, when I awakened the aptitude master class, I felt that my life was over."

"Can an aptitude master without combat strength really gain everyone's respect?"

"It wasn't until much later that I understood."

"On the battlefield, powerful soldiers are important, but strategists are even more important."

"In school, a student's talent is very important, but having a teacher to guide them is equally important."

"Perhaps school is the place where you can realize your value."

"Don't you think so?"

Seeing Wang Wenfeng's expression, Chen Feng had a strange feeling.

It was as if Wang Wenfeng was not looking at Chen Feng. It was as if he was looking at his younger self.

Chen Feng sincerely respected this elderly man, who enjoyed a reputation of high moral standing. After all, the principal admired him, and wanted nothing but the best for him.

Chen Feng stood up.

He solemnly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Principal Wang."

"If the school doesn't mind, I'll definitely come back to work after graduation and dedicate myself to teaching!"

Hearing Chen Feng agree, a smile appeared on Wang Wenfeng's face. He even felt relieved.

It was evident that Principal Wang was worried that Chen Feng would be greatly affected by his result at the awakening ceremony, and he would question having to go through an arduous process to increase his strength.

Wang Wenfeng was very satisfied with this Chen Feng's answer.

"Then, what do you think about becoming my disciple?"

Wang Wenfeng continued to smile.

Naturally, Chen Feng was very willing.

Putting aside the fact that he respected Principal Wang greatly, Chen Feng felt that he would benefit greatly from becoming Principal Wang's disciple.

Having such a connection would bring only benefits to Chen Feng.

After thinking it through, Chen Feng made up his mind. He was not pretentious and went straight to Wang Wenfeng, kneeling down in front of the latter to kowtow three times.

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!" Chen Feng.

"Good! Good! Good!" exclaimed Wang Wenfeng.

He said "Good" three times in a row and helped Chen Feng up from the ground.

As he helped Chen Feng up, he squeezed Chen Feng's shoulders and arms.

Chen Feng knew that Principal Wang was probably detecting his current strength. It should be similar to "feeling bones[To tell a person's fortune or read his character by feeling his bones]".

However, he was not worried at all.

After all, Chen Feng was only a clone here. Although his strength had increased greatly, it was not as shocking as Chen Feng's main body.

As expected, Principal Wang let go of his hand and laughed. He stroked his beard and revealed a look as if he had seen through everything.

"Looks like the six Tier 2 inner cores that no one acknowledged in the last exam were taken away by you, right?" he asked.

Even if it was a clone that did not make use of the summation system to double his points, Chen Feng's five-dimensional basic attributes had already reached nearly 100 points.

With such strength, it was impossible for him not to have eaten the inner core.

Regarding this, Chen Feng did not bother hiding anything. Instead, he simply smiled apologetically at the principal.

"I'm sorry, Master."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you back then, but…"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Wenfeng waved his hand in a dismissive gesture.

"It's all right. I can understand why you did so."

"It's a good thing that you know how to leave yourself a way out!"

"I'll worry even more If you're too straightforward and ensure that others know everything."

Hearing that the principal was not fussing over this matter, Chen Feng felt touched.

The next second, Wang Wenfeng gave him another surprise.

Wang Wenfeng took out a palm-sized box from his pocket and handed it to Chen Feng.

"Master, what are you…"

Before Chen Feng could finish his sentence, Wang Wenfeng added, "Since you have already acknowledged me as your master, as your master, how can I not prepare a welcome gift for you?"

"Open it and take a look!"

Chen Feng immediately opened the box.

There were two items.

There was an inner core that was even larger than the Tier 3 inner core that Chen Feng had obtained previously. Clearly, it was the inner core of a tier 4 dire beast.

The other thing was a jade pendant. Its exact function was unknown.

Chen Feng looked at the two items, and he had a look of surprise on his face.

"Master, the inner core of tier 4 dire beast can probably be sold for more than a million yuan on the market!"

"As for this jade pendant, it must be something extraordinary. Otherwise, you wouldn't have placed together with the inner core of a tier 4 dire beast."

"Isn't this gift a little too expensive?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Wang Wenfeng stroked his white beard and laughed.

"All right, all right. Don't pretend to be polite to me. Put away your cautious ways."

"You think I don't know what you're thinking? You just want to know what this jade pendant is for."

Chen Feng originally thought that after becoming a disciple, Wang Wenfeng would be even stricter.

Unexpectedly, Wang Wenfeng completely lost his bearings, behaving like a child. He was full of vitality.

Chen Feng smiled sheepishly. He rubbed the back of his head and flattered his master.

"Indeed, I can't hide anything from Master…"

"But what's the use of this jade pendant?"

When Wang Wenfeng mentioned this jade pendant, there was a smug look on his face.

"This jade pendant has a history, but it's a long story. I won't nag today."

"In short, if you encounter an incomparably dangerous situation, as long as you crush this jade pendant, you can obtain a protective shield that no attack can break."

"Although I don't have much combat ability, with this jade pendant, I can at least protect your life once!"

Hearing those words, the smile on Chen Feng's face disappeared. He had a solemn expression.

If it was really as Principal Wang had said, the value of this jade pendant was far from what a tier 4 dire beast's inner core could compare to!

Just as he was about to thank the principal, Wang Wenfeng waved his hand again and interrupted him.

"It's fine. I already said that there's no need to pretend to be polite with me."

"I know that you don't have any relatives living in this world. In the future, treat me as your only family."

"If you need anything, just tell me in the future."

"I've been busy all my life and don't have any children. I won't become poor by supporting you financially, so rest assured!"

Hearing that, Chen Feng nodded solemnly.

In the three years that Chen Feng had been in this world, this was the first time someone treated him as his family and gave him such warmth and care.

However, Principal Wang suddenly changed the topic.

"What do you think of the University of Draupcester?"

"Do you want me to inform the principal of the University of Draupcester, and you'll be guaranteed a spot there?"

Chen Feng was dumbfounded.

A guaranteed spot?

This was what having a strong background was like!
