Chapter 96: Chapter 44: The Legacy of a Distant Era_2

Tian Bufan was calmly looking at him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Young Master Tian, you...?" Lin Yi was instantly dumbfounded, "You... why are you so normal? Haven’t you lost your way?"

"Lost?" A hint of mockery appeared on Tian Bufan’s lips, "Because this knowledge is still within my ’comprehension.’

Tian Bufan glanced at him and said indifferently, "It’s good that you just followed your feelings to ’sense,’ if you had gotten your ’feeling’ from that lamp, then I would have had a really bad headache..."

He rubbed his brow and reminded, "Alright, you sensed it, but don’t stare at it too long, watch out for the flames distorting your shadow."

Lin Yi stood there, stunned. Tian Bufan’s words... why did they suddenly become so profound?

Tian Bufan didn’t say much more, only slowly saying, "Everyone has their strengths, don’t overthink it; if there are any problems, we’ll talk about them tonight at the dormitory."

"Time’s about up, I should go. A pretty Sports Student invited me to study gymnastics techniques."

The unexpected change in topic caught Lin Yi off guard: "Please! You could’ve kept that comment to yourself!"

Tian Bufan shrugged, "You’d better hurry up too, if there are no cute girls to guide you through practice, it’s also fine to look for Wei Liang to hang out, after all, physical education class definitely has its significance."

"I’m off to study, so don’t just stand around."

"By the way, your socks are quite unique." Before leaving, Tian Bufan glanced at Lin Yi’s bare right foot and gave a high assessment.

Then, without waiting for Lin Yi to get upset, he turned suavely and waved his hand.

"I’m off, good luck to you."

After saying that, he tucked his hands into his pockets and slowly walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor of the gymnasium.

Watching Tian Bufan’s suave departure, Lin Yi tightened his toes on his right foot in annoyance and couldn’t help but complain, "Really, I thought we were going to exchange information, but he came over, wrapped up a bunch of information around me, and left!"

"Not a word about the fight between the Sports Students and the Art Students!"

"Sigh!" He exhaled, "Guess I’ll have to wait until tonight to have a proper exchange."

After physical education class, have some dinner, then head to the classroom to ’hang for a bit,’ and then make it to the dormitory before the fog rolls in. When he really thought about it, time did indeed pass by quickly.

"Come to think of it, this physical education class..." Lin Yi gathered his attention and began to look around.

Most people had gradually begun to move, and deep down, he also started to think it was time to get moving.

After all, whether it was what Tian Bufan said, or the part about physical education class mentioned in the rules, both highlighted the importance of the class.

He looked down at his watch.

14:48.

His mind stirred, setting aside the time for reading the rules and observing the gymnasium, just chatting with Tian Bufan had eaten up nearly fifteen minutes.

All of a sudden, he felt the time crunch, an hour of physical education class was gone, nearly a third of it.

He quickly took out the gymnasium rules again for another look, deepened the impression, and then decided to go and borrow some equipment from a Sports Student for practice.

A cute Sports Student? He hadn’t thought about that.

Spar with Wei Liang? Even if he wanted to, Wei Liang had already gone to gymnastics class.

He then observed the situation inside the gymnasium and noticed that the students inside could roughly be divided into two types, one being the Sports Students wearing blue and white tracksuits, the other being Experience Students (ordinary students) wearing different clothes.

If you head deeper into the first floor of the gymnasium, there’s also a Swimming Hall.

The Swimming Hall and the courts are separated by a huge glass partition, through which you can see a large swimming pool, but there are very few people swimming in the pool.

While he was observing the pool, he suddenly noticed many Sports Students on the basketball court had stopped their activities and simultaneously turned their gaze towards the gymnasium entrance...

Lin Yi also curiously looked in that direction.

He saw several people holding baseball bats entering the gymnasium; some of these people were the Sports Students who had previously been guarding the entrance.

But at this moment, these Sports Students all scattered to the side like security personnel, subtly making way for a certain individual.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, his curiosity growing even more intense.

"It seems like sports students also have their own hierarchy?"

The person about to appear was clearly held in high regard.

"Could it be a P.E. teacher?"

But his thought was soon shattered.

The one who walked in wasn’t a P.E. teacher, or at least... didn’t seem to be one.

It was a tall athletic girl.

She wore a black bodysuit with blue and white stripes, and on her feet were a pair of pure white sports shoes. The tight-fitting suit showcased her near-perfect figure to the fullest.

She had tied her loose sportswear around her waist, and something weighted in her pocket dangled down at two corners, swaying slowly with her leisurely pace.

She carried a thick bat on her shoulder, her hands draped over it casually. Putting aside gender, her aura was strikingly like that of a top-tier bat-wielding martial cultivator.

Lin Yi couldn’t make out her face, only seeing the pink bubble gum she blew at her mouth and the red and white cap on her head identical to the one worn by Pok*mon trainers.

The brim of the cap, paired with the bubble gum from Lin Yi’s angle, left only a small portion of her face visible.

And that small portion was obscured by the wildly jutting fringe from under the brim.

The arrival of this girl instantly captured the attention of almost all the sports students in the gymnasium.

She walked into the venue at an unhurried pace, drawing the gaze of everyone along the way.

Only when she reached part of the court did Lin Yi notice several sports students following her.

Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang... were unmistakably among them.

"Eh? Wasn’t Xu Shun back already? Why has he just arrived at the gym?" When he saw Xu Shunkang, a question emerged in Lin Yi’s mind.

But at that moment, he noticed that Xu Shunkang’s face was covered in sweat, and he seemed a lot more exhausted than he had been at noon.

Not just him, the others also looked weary, as if they had just endured a lengthy tug-of-war.

And then he realized, every sports student that walked in was holding a bat or stick, and each of their bats was coated with a plaster-like substance!

With that in mind, he couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the leading athletic girl.

His eyes immediately fell on the thick bat she carried on her shoulder.

"Just as I thought!" Lin Yi’s heart jolted.

The middle part of that bat was wrapped with a strap for added friction and grip, and the ends of the strap were caked with plaster-like substance!

If all the plaster-like substance was transformed from Tomato sauce, then...

"How many green-aproned Pocket Chefs would it take to get this much wrapped around?"

Lin Yi had been spotted by Xu Shunkang, who signaled him to come over with a wave of his hand.

Lin Yi had been wanting to find sports equipment from sports students, so seeing this, he was immediately overjoyed, feeling a sense of mutual eagerness.

With happiness, he walked towards Xu Shunkang.

However, as he drew closer to Xu Shunkang, an overwhelming sense of oppression suddenly came from the group, causing his steps to unconsciously pause.

His subconscious told him, he was being targeted.

"Clang!"

Steel rods struck the ground, sending a powerful tremor through the floor.

The athletic girl leading Xu Shunkang and the others slowly brought her gaze to rest on Lin Yi’s shoulders.

Beneath the cap, behind the bubble gum, through the fringe, her dark eyes, upon seeing Lin Yi, slowly ignited with golden flames.
