Star City Academy, library.
In a corner of the reading room, Feng Qi and Lin Ran flipped through the books in their hands with focused expressions and entered a state of study.
Feng Qi had essentially spent the past three days studying with Lin Ran in the library.
Even if he could obtain cultivation techniques from the future, Feng Qi still believed that he could not lose his foundation. Otherwise, his abnormalities would be exposed too easily.
After all, a genius who understood profound content yet was without a foundation was too ridiculous.
In addition, he would occasionally accompany Lin Ran to class.
During this period, under the strong request of the students, he also gave a few lectures. He was similarly praised by the students… and flattered by Lin Ran.
Now, he and Lin Ran had become the center of discussion among the students of many classes in Star City Academy.
However, these few classes had also emptied his "foundation".
Now that he had finished teaching the Ferocious Tiger Fist and Body Hardening Technique to the students, there was nothing else stored in his mind.
At this moment, he especially yearned for the "infinite memory" function described by the narrator.
With photographic memory, every time he entered the future dream, he would no longer need to watch the videos over and over again and memorize it by rote. He could easily be done in one go, saving time and effort.
"Brother Qi, I want to read cultivation technique research books." At this moment, Lin Ran leaned over and whispered, his handsome face filled with desire.
"Finish reading the Spells Trajectory 5.0 in your hand first."
"You're killing a future cultivation techniques master."
"I believe I'm saving the world." After glancing sideways at Lin Ran, Feng Qi continued to read the book in his hand.
Hearing this, Lin Ran felt puzzled and could only lower his head dejectedly.
During this period of time, Lin Ran had asked him for guidance more than once. Feng Qi did not refuse, but did not teach him either.
Agreeing to teach him was just a stalling tactic. Otherwise, Lin Ran would definitely find other channels to learn cultivation techniques.
He felt that it was safer to keep Lin Ran, the time bomb, by his side.
Since Lin Ran had already constructed the framework of the hand seal technique, he might also have the framework for a certain cultivation technique in his mind, so he had to guard him tightly.
Fortunately, Lin Ran never refused his requests, so his plan to kill his dreams wouldn't die before it even started.
It was noon.
Feng Qi and Lin Ran went straight to the cafeteria and prepared to eat as usual.
At this moment, they were surprised to find that Mu Qing, who was usually the first to arrive, was not around.
"Strange, Senior Sister loves eating so much. Why isn't she here today?"
"I'll go look around. You eat first." After saying that, Feng Qi immediately turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.
Based on his understanding of Mu Qing, she would definitely be around when it was mealtime.
In addition to her fast digestion, eating had also become a way for Mu Qing to regulate her emotions. It was also the way her father had told her to be strong.
Therefore, he guessed that Mu Qing might be in trouble.
"Brother Qi, I'll come with you. Is Senior Sister Mu Qing in trouble?" Lin Ran followed and asked.
"I'm not sure. Let's split up and search."
"Okay."
Then, the two of them split up and began to search for Mu Qing in the academy.
…
East of the academy, in the gymnasium.
The 800-square-meter body tempering room was filled with various training equipment.
As one of the core areas of the academy, every year, the academy would allocate a large amount of funds to replace and update various training equipment for the students' use.
At this moment, in a corner of the body tempering room, Mu Qing looked coldly at the three girls standing in front of her.
"Get away from me."
"This is the first time I'm seeing a Rune Transformer. What abilities do you have? Show us." The girl in the lead had a buzz cut and was chewing something. She looked at Mu Qing teasingly.
Although they were in Star City Academy, they were wearing the uniforms of Winter Academy. Clearly, they were exchange students like Lin Ran.
Just now, when they were training, they unintentionally saw Mu Qing hit an extremely shocking strength value, and their hearts were instantly filled with curiosity.
However, when they got closer and realized that Mu Qing was a Rune Transformer, the curiosity in his heart turned into disdain.
"Stay away from me." Mu Qing's expression was still cold.
"Show us your abilities first." After forcing Mu Qing to a corner, the girls teased.
Mu Qing did not respond. She took a deep breath and suppressed her surging emotions.
"Pa!" At this moment, the girl with the buzz cut suddenly slapped Mu Qing.
"I'll told you to show us. Be good!"
Mu Qing's chest heaved violently, but she did not choose to retaliate because she was afraid that once she attacked, she would completely lose control. At that time, it might cause an irreversible outcome.
"Woah, she's indeed a freak. Her face isn't even red after a slap. Her physical fitness is indeed as strong as described. I wonder what her limit is." As she spoke, the girl in the lead revealed a malicious smile.
Unlike Star City Academy, Winter Academy's teaching environment always rule, survival of the fittest.
Therefore, bullying students was very normal in school.
As long as there were no serious injuries or disabilities, even teachers would not restrict the students.
Although it was extreme, such an environment had nurtured many combat geniuses. Many famous domain combat team leaders had graduated from Winter Academy.
This time, the three outstanding exchange students from Winter Academy brought their habits to Star City Academy.
Realizing that Mu Qing was a Rune Transformer that only existed in books, they were immediately curious and wanted to try to understand.
However, Mu Qing's resistance aroused the hostility in their hearts.
Facing Mu Qing who constantly snubbed them and was even unwilling to look them in the eye, they chose to attack.
After forcing Mu Qing to a corner, the three girls began to punch and kick her.
Facing the attack, Mu Qing did not choose to retaliate.
The scarlet light in her eyes flickered non-stop. She kept suppressing the anger in her heart and controlled the changes in her emotions.
"Freak, fight back!"
"Let us see the strength of a Rune Transformer. Freak!"
"Didn't they say that Rune Transformers are generally brutal? Why are you so weak?"
Faced with the provocation, Mu Qing did not respond. She curled her body and did not move, allowing the fists to land on her.
At this moment, the girl in the lead raised her right hand and suddenly smashed it towards Mu Qing's head.
"Enough!" At this moment, a furious roar sounded and interrupted the girl's attack.
It was Feng Qi.
In order to find Mu Qing, he first went to Mu Qing's dormitory building. After asking the dormitory manager, he learned of a few places where Mu Qing often went to. Then, he began to check them one by one.
However, he did not expect that to see Mu Qing being bullied when he found her.
Hearing the angry roar, the three girls from Winter Academy turned to look at Feng Qi with stunned expressions.
Seeing Feng Qi walk over, the girl in the lead asked indifferently,
"What can I do for you?"
Feng Qi did not answer. He stood in front of the girl and slapped her face.
Pa!
The girl's expression changed instantly. The two girls beside her took a step forward and surrounded Feng Qi.
Just as they were about to attack, another voice sounded.
"I dare you to move!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, the anger on the three girls' faces instantly turned to fear.
At some point, Lin Ran had arrived.
