### Chapter 14: You Are Not Worthy

In the classroom of Notting College, a miracle occurred Qi Ling, the academy's most elusive student, had actually shown up to class!

As the undisputed top student, Qi Ling was better known for spending his time in the dormitory rather than in the classroom.

Many students were seeing him for the first time, curious to find out what made him so special.

"Wow, what kind of wind blew him into the classroom today?" Xiao Wu exclaimed, just as surprised as everyone else when she saw Qi Ling.

"I asked Brother Qi to come," Tang San said from beside her.

"Brother Qi is incredibly talented and intelligent.

I can only understand 60% of what the teacher says, but he can understand it all! It would be a shame to let such talent go to waste."

"Are you sure he's going to pay attention in class?" Xiao Wu asked, sceptical.

Recalling Qi Ling's disdain for the academy's teachers, Tang San broke into a cold sweat.

"Probably…"

Three minutes later, Qi Ling, who had taken a seat in the front row, had already drifted off to sleep, dozing off even faster than he did in the dormitory.

The teacher giving the lecture was Lu Xuan, a young but strict instructor.

Seeing someone sleeping during his class, he couldn't help but frown.

"Qi Ling! Stand up!" Lu Xuan demanded, putting down his textbook.

"Sleeping in class, not paying attention to the lecture do you even respect your teacher? Get out and reflect on your behaviour!"

Qi Ling rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Sorry, teacher, I didn't mean to sleep.

It's just that your lecture is not only boring but also full of errors."

Lu Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief, as if Qi Ling had just said something outrageous.

"How dare you, Qi Ling! How can a student like you question the teacher?!"

"I don't care that you slept in my class, but you need to explain what you mean by 'full of errors.' Otherwise, you won't be welcome in my classroom anymore!"

[Ding dong! The host is facing a challenge from the teacher. Please choose from the following options:]

[Option 1: Admit your mistake, apologize to the teacher, and overlook the errors in his lecture. Reward: Teacher's favourability +1, 10 extra points in textbooks.

Option 2:Point out the teacher's mistakes, correct him, and assert your position. Reward: The second half of the "Top Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirit."]

Faced with these options, Qi Ling naturally chose the second one.

With the complete "Top Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirit," Qi Ling could consider himself a master of Martial Spirit theory, rivaling even Yu Xiaogang.

[Ding dong! Congratulations on choosing option 2: Engage in a theoretical debate with the teacher. Reward: The second half of "Top Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirit."]

"Alright, teacher," Qi Ling said confidently, standing up.

"I'll tell you exactly what's wrong with your lecture."

"You're teaching the basic theorems of Martial Spirits, but most of your information is outdated! Much of what you've said has already been disproven!"

"Beast spirits can't use spirit rings from plant spirits? Ridiculous! You don't even understand the essence of spirit rings and Martial Spirits!"

"The highest level of innate spirit power is only 10? That's the perspective of a frog in a well! There are far more geniuses in this world than you think!"

"If a Martial Spirit is flawed, it's impossible to advance? That's just because you haven't found the right method. Defective Martial Spirits can indeed be repaired!"

"And the most absurd thing you've said," Qi Ling pointed at a sentence in the textbook, "is that soul masters born with 'trash' spirits are destined to achieve nothing! What is a 'trash' spirit? What is a 'good' spirit? There's no such thing as a useless Martial Spirit, only useless soul masters!"

(Tl\n: Ain't gon lie I kinda agree,but I wonder if he would've if he was born with a trash martial soul)

Qi Ling's words reverberated through the classroom, leaving everyone in stunned silence.

Tang San looked at Qi Ling in admiration.

What Qi Ling said was almost exactly what Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had taught him.

Even though Tang San knew this information, he couldn't express it as forcefully as Qi Ling. This was the difference between them!

"You! You arrogant fool!" Lu Xuan trembled with rage, pointing a shaking finger at Qi Ling.

"A 'trash' Martial Spirit is destined to be worthless, and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that! An idiot without talent is a person without value! Everyone's Martial Spirit is determined at birth, so everyone's value is predetermined! That's the law of this world!"

"You're wrong, teacher!" Qi Ling shot back without hesitation.

"It's people like you who classify others into categories of worth, who kill their potential!"

"Denying a person's value based on their Martial Spirit is as bad as robbery!"

"You have no right to determine a person's life so easily. People who do this have no business being teachers at all!"

Lu Xuan was taken aback, stepping back as Qi Ling's words hit him.

He pointed at his own chest, his voice trembling.

"You...you're saying, I'm unworthy of being a teacher?"

"How dare you! You're disrespectful, rebellious, arrogant, and rude! I don't think you're worthy of being a student!" Lu Xuan pointed at the door.

"Get out! You're not welcome here! Don't ever come to my class again!"

"Hah, that's perfect.

I don't want to attend a class taught by someone like you," Qi Ling said, walking toward the door.

"Listening is useless, learning is harmful, and you're nothing but a pedantic, arrogant fraud of a teacher!"

Seeing Qi Ling walk out, Xiao Wu turned to Tang San with a fire in her eyes.

"I didn't know Qi Ling was so knowledgeable! What he said makes a lot of sense.

Let's go, we should support him!"

Tang San hesitated.

"But, the teacher..."

"What about the teacher? I've had enough of him!" Xiao Wu stood up defiantly.

"A teacher who can't argue with reason and only suppresses people with authority is no teacher at all!"

"Sister Xiao Wu isn't taking your class anymore!" With that, Xiao Wu marched out the door after Qi Ling.

Seeing Qi Ling and Xiao Wu leave, the other students in the classroom began to stir.

Qi Ling's name might have been unfamiliar to them, but Sister Xiao Wu was well-known!

"Let's go! I don't want to be in a class taught by someone like him! I won't let my life be defined by others!"

"Yeah, let's go find Master Yu Xiaogang and listen to his lessons! I heard Qi Ling and Tang San study under him!"

"I get it now! No wonder Qi Ling is so knowledgeable! I'm going to listen to Master Yu Xiaogang's teachings!"

Qi Ling hadn't expected that by standing up for himself, he would inadvertently help Master Yu Xiaogang gain recognition from so many students.

What Master Yu had worked half his life to achieve, Qi Ling had managed to do effortlessly.

Such is the irony of fate.
