Chapter 10: Lin Feng's Jealousy
"Yes, teacher, only by enduring the greatest hardships can one become a superior person. I will definitely succeed!" At this moment, the black wolf's face was filled with joy
"Famous overnight? What is the situation?"
Oh, interesting. Does Long Fan have such a significant influence on me? Hearing this, Long Fan felt a bit embarrassed, but having already promised Black Wolf, he was determined to assist him.
Long Fan was a bit surprised, not expecting Black Wolf to be so enthusiastic. "Alright, I'm also quite hungry, so wait for me for a moment," he said as he walked into the dormitory. Before long, Long Fan came out after getting ready. Although his clothes were somewhat old, the outfit was still quite normal and very tidy. Seeing him come out, Black Wolf stepped forward, hooked his arm around Long Fan's shoulder, and walked outside.
Isn't that the Black Wolf next to him
Heilong realized at that moment that Long Fan's attire was indeed somewhat out of place. Amused, he said, "Your outfit is quite peculiar; it's not impossible that people might talk about it. Hurry and change into something else, and I'll treat you to a drink!"
The next day, Long Fan woke up in his own bed, where a white bird was standing on his blanket, looking at him. Outside, the sky was bright and sunny. He stretched lazily, realizing that he hadn't slept this comfortably in a long time, although his body ached. Suddenly, Long Fan seemed to become aware of something and glanced at the spirit stone clock on the wall, where the wooden hand was clearly pointing to 2:30 PM.
Black Wolf, please do not hesitate; I will certainly do my utmost!
Long Fan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Black Wolf was also striving to become stronger. Based on his years of interaction with Teacher Qin, he should agree. "Alright, but it's not just me who will speak; it's us. After this meal, we will go and talk. To be honest, I really hope to cultivate with you, as that way we can make it and progress together." Long Fan did not hide his true feelings; sparring with Black Wolf was more exhilarating than practicing with the teacher, and he gained more from it. Both of them were competitive and eager to win, naturally giving their all, which would better uncover their potential. Seeing Long Fan agree so quickly, Black Wolf also expressed his thoughts, further affirming that his choice last night was not wrong. He immediately stood up and raised his wine glass. "Good brother, I toast to you!" Long Fan also stood up and downed the wine in his glass.
"Why aren't you calling your senior brother yet?" Long Fan, seeing the black wolf smiling like a blooming flower, quickly teased.
Upon hearing this, Black Wolf's anger dissipated instantly, replaced by a hearty laugh. He increasingly found Long Fan to be interesting, and they began to eat together. The two of them, along with a bird, indulged in a feast. After satisfying their hunger and thirst, Liu Hei looked at Long Fan and said, "Brother Long Fan, we agreed to become friends yesterday, so today I shall treat you as a friend. I have a humble request, and I hope you will agree to it." Long Fan raised his head to look at the sincere expression on Black Wolf's face. In truth, he had already guessed what Black Wolf was after. After the battle last night, he understood that Liu Hei, like him, was also someone in pursuit of greater strength.
Teacher, I believe that Liu Hei under your guidance is beneficial to us all. Firstly, every day, Hei Lang can practice with me, at least for now, you can take a break. Secondly, Hei Lang is cultivating spiritual power, and according to what you said before, he has a high talent; you can learn from each other. Finally, having two disciples to train is definitely more enjoyable than just one.
This is the best meal Long Fan has had since he grew up, and even the white bird has eaten to the point of being unable to fly. It seems that, like Long Fan, it has never had a good meal. In contrast, the black wolf looked at them with great interest, and he also had a rough idea of Long Fan's family background. When the two returned to school, it happened to be the end of class, and their simultaneous appearance sparked much discussion among their classmates.
Soon, the dishes and wine were served. On a square table, there were a total of eight dishes, all of which Long Fan had never seen before, nearly making him drool. Seeing him like this, Black Wolf couldn't help but chuckle. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for Long Fan, saying, "We are acquainted through conflict; today, this meal is on me. Let’s enjoy it without reservation." Long Fan was indeed hungry at that moment, so he no longer held back and grabbed a chicken leg to munch on. At that moment, a white bird flew onto the table and also began to peck at a braised fish without any hesitation. Black Wolf, seeing such an ugly bird daring to compete for food with them, was about to lose his temper when Long Fan quickly intervened, saying, "This is my little brother, Xiao Bai. He has always shared meals and quarters with me. Brother Black Wolf, you wouldn’t mind if my brother had a bite, would you?"
Brother, I am happy today, so I want you to be happy too. Given that you have defeated me, I will reluctantly call you "Senior Brother!" The Black Wolf has achieved his wish and does not hold a grudge against Long Fan. Everything is so unpredictable; the two who fought with all their might yesterday have unexpectedly become brothers today. Qin Qiong looked at the somewhat childish duo and smiled with appreciation. The reason he agreed to take in the Black Wolf was not only because of his talent but also because he hoped that Long Fan would have a helper by his side. Long Fan is not an ordinary person; he will surely go very far. He always believes in the ancestral teachings and believes that Long Fan is the one who will change the human realm. His own strength is unlikely to improve significantly, so he wants to find a companion who can walk alongside Long Fan for a long time.
Look, that is the kid who defeated the Black Wolf solely with his physical strength yesterday. It is said that he is the true leader of the New Star Society
On the second day, Qin Qiong took the two of them to train together. While Qin Qiong had Black Wolf engage in physical training, he also taught him how to precisely control his spiritual power. Meanwhile, Long Fan continued with high-intensity resistance training against spiritual power attacks. At this moment, the intensity of the spiritual water ring impact he had to endure had already reached the peak of the Equatorial Spirit Master. Both of them were training according to Qin Qiong's arrangements. Long Fan was fine; he had already become accustomed to such high-intensity training. However, Black Wolf was struggling; the physical training was truly torturous for him, and he could only find some comfort in sleep after soaking in a medicinal bath every night.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he quickly walked towards the dormitory. As he approached, Long Fan saw someone leaning against the door of his dormitory. Getting closer to take a look, he realized it was Liu Hei, who had a blade of foxtail grass in his mouth, arms crossed, seemingly humming a little tune. When he saw Long Fan coming, he spat out the grass, straightened up, and looked at Long Fan. They were about the same height, allowing them to look each other in the eye. Long Fan smiled first and teasingly said, "What brings the great Black Wolf to my humble abode?" Black Wolf also smiled and replied, "Aren't I here to see how our famous Blue Beast is recovering after a night of glory across the school? So, how is it? Now that you've stepped on my Black Wolf's fame, have you forgotten the promise you made back then?"
The usually serious head chef smiled and did not appear as angry as one might have imagined. "It's fine, Vice Principal Qin has already granted you a day off, so you don't need to come in today. Just take a good rest; you did well last night!" As he spoke, he patted Long Fan on the shoulder. Long Fan smiled awkwardly, surprised that the teacher was aware of what had happened last night and had thought of him so considerately. After thanking the others in the kitchen, he left with Bai Niao and headed towards the dormitory. He had rushed out so hastily that he was now somewhat disheveled, feeling out of place as he walked. He noticed some classmates whispering as they passed by, and even some students in the distance were looking at him and murmuring, which left him quite puzzled. Were they commenting on his strange attire?
Oh no! Long Fan shouted, quickly throwing off the blanket and hastily putting on his clothes, rushing out in a pair of slippers straight to the cafeteria, with Bai Niao closely following. Upon arriving at the cafeteria, everyone was already resting, and his share of work had been completed. He hurriedly ran up to the head chef: "Chef, I’m sorry, I overslept. Is there any work left to do?"
Suddenly, the two of them became the center of attention. Long Fan disliked the feeling of being pointed at and discussed, so he quickened his pace towards Qin Qiong's office, with Black Wolf closely following behind. Behind them, a person stood, coldly watching them and listening to the discussions of those around. He felt an impulse to strike, and his ignited jealousy surged wildly. This seemingly calm and beautiful youth was, of course, Lin Feng, who had been defeated by Black Wolf with a single move.
I wish to cultivate my physical body together with you, and I hope Brother Longfan can speak to Vice Principal Qin on my behalf
Hey, you little rascal, you still don't know that no one is talking about you on the road?
The two individuals left the school and headed towards an inn outside. Hei Lang seemed to be a regular here, as the waiter hurried over with a bow and a smile as soon as he entered, saying, "Young Master Liu has arrived. Would you like your usual table?" "The usual place. Bring out some good dishes and a few pots of fine wine. I want to have a good drink with my brother today!" As Hei Lang generously instructed the waiter, he led Long Fan to a private room on the second floor. This scene gave Long Fan the impression of "wealthy and extravagant." Looking at the prices of the dishes on the wooden sign on the wall, Long Fan felt a bit guilty, realizing that all his savings would barely cover the cost of those few dishes. Over the years, he had set aside part of his earnings for tuition, and the remaining amount was just enough for his own expenses. But suddenly, he remembered that he had promised Hei Lang to be his brother yesterday. With such a wealthy friend, who would he exploit if not him? With this thought, his sense of restraint immediately vanished.
... ...
After pondering for a moment, Qin Qiong said, "Alright, I will agree. However, if you cannot endure the hardships, you may withdraw directly. In that case, do not claim to have been my student"
Indeed, how did the two of them end up together? It seems their relationship is quite good. Could it be true that the rumors about them becoming friends after a battle last night are accurate?
As the crowd carried the two main characters of the evening back to the dormitory, the playground suddenly became desolate. In the distance, Qin Qiong, after witnessing Long Fan's extraordinary strength, also left with a smile. At this moment, only one figure stood alone on the playground, the cold wind swirling around his handsome face, while the moonlight elongated his shadow. He clenched his fists, his expression somewhat ferocious, thinking that the person admired by everyone tonight should have been him, but it was snatched away by a subordinate he had always protected. Especially the words of Black Wolf burned like fire in his heart. The New Star Society was founded by him; he was the true leader, he was the strongest. However, after Long Fan battled Black Wolf and defeated him, all the members of the New Star Society flocked to Long Fan, and not a single person cared about him. The flames of jealousy in his heart burned his eyes red.
In Qin Qiong's office, two young men stood side by side. They had already informed Qin Qiong of their intentions and were now waiting for his response. Qin Qiong tapped his fingers on the table, looking at the two of them. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Liu Hei, you don't need to become my disciple to grow stronger. As far as I know, your father is stronger than I am." The Black Wolf seemed to have anticipated Qin Qiong's question. "Teacher Qin, I wish to become your disciple mainly to learn martial arts from you and enhance my physical abilities. I believe only you can teach me well, so I hope you will take me as your student for Long Fan's sake!" With that, he bowed deeply.
Oh, so they were discussing the argument we had yesterday; I thought they were talking about my clothes instead
Since both of them became students of Qin Qiong and began training together, the people at the school have shown them even more respect. They are now universally recognized as the strongest, especially within the New Star Club, where all members have tacitly accepted Long Fan as their leader. No one dares to trouble them at school, and Lin Feng has become a nominal president in name only. How could Lin Feng not be furious? Looking at Qin Qiong, Long Fan, and Liu Hei, his anger surged. He had his father approach Qin Qiong to accept him as a student, only to be outright rejected, while Liu Hei was accepted instead. Qin Qiong's disdain for him ignited a hatred within Lin Feng. He resented Qin Qiong for having trained Long Fan, who took away everything he desired. He hated that Qin Qiong refused to accept him as a student, preventing him from becoming stronger as quickly as he wished. With malice brewing in his heart, Lin Feng made a decision at that moment, fiercely telling himself, "Lin Feng, you must take revenge; you must make them pay the price!"
