Chapter 113: Chapter 111: If You Don’t Do It, There Are Plenty of Others Who Will

"I choose Professor Lu Lin as my mentor!" Chu Feng said, then immediately added, "Professor Lu has agreed as well."

The professors present were taken aback and looked at Chu Feng in surprise.

Some wore puzzled expressions, unsure why Chu Feng had made that choice.

Some wore a hint of disdain, probably muttering under their breath about how certain types of students deserve certain types of mentors.

Others breathed a sigh of relief, happy as long as Chu Feng found any mentor.

It solved his own problem and relieved the professors of their pressure.

When Nie Yan heard this, his eyes shifted, and he immediately understood what Chu Feng intended to do.

He wasn’t planning to leave the school; instead, he had found a backup plan by choosing to hang his hat at Professor Lu Lin’s.

Indeed, at this moment, Professor Lu Lin was the only one in the entire school who didn’t care about fame anymore.

Poor kid, he must have suffered a great deal, harboring so much resentment, yet in the end, he resolved the matter himself, sparing others the trouble.

Teacher Xu’s persuasion had played a significant role; the boy was proud but also receptive to advice.

Compared to Chu Feng, these professors sitting behind him were simply ignorant fools!

As he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his sense of guilt towards Chu Feng deepened.

In his view, whether intentionally or not, Chu Feng had indeed protected the school’s reputation at the sacrifice of his own interests.

He also knew that cultivating without a mentor was extremely challenging, and going forward, no one would be there to teach him or guide him.

Having already faced such injustices, he had still taken a step back...

Suddenly, Nie Yan felt that his decision had been right.

Chu Feng was a person who understood the bigger picture and could achieve great things.

No, he couldn’t just let him cultivate on his own.

Otherwise, there was a chance he might take a wrong turn, or even worse, risk deviating and dying during cultivation.

Thinking this, Nie Yan smiled and said, "That’s good then, Professor Lu is also an experienced mentor; I believe he can guide you on your path.

"You can first consult Professor Lu about your future direction in cultivation. I’ll also speak with Professor Lu soon to explain things properly."

"He lives in Block 23 of the Staff Residence Area C.

"Finally, welcome to Yan Capital University; on behalf of Yan University, I wish you success in your cultivation!"

He planned to have a serious talk with Professor Lu Lin after the meeting, using his position as vice-principal to warn him not to stir up the kind of trouble he had in the past.

Chu Feng understood the hint in Nie Yan’s words and stood up to nod respectfully: "Thank you, Principal Nie.

"Then I will go and talk with Professor Lu first, and then head to the Cultivation Room to heal."

Nie Yan smiled and nodded, watching as Chu Feng and Wang Xuerui left the meeting room.

Hearing the uproar from the many professors in the meeting room, his face grew stern again, and he tapped the table, barking, "Quiet! Chu Feng’s issue is resolved, but our problems are not over!

"Next, we need to seriously discuss issues related to the mentorship approach!"

His stern gaze swept across, and the faces of many professors suddenly looked pained.

They were in for another scolding.

...

Once outside the meeting room’s doors, Wang Xuerui breathed a sigh of relief: "This matter is finally settled; what a waste of time.

"Come on, I’ll take you to meet Professor Lu. When we get there, speak your mind quickly, and then hurry to heal your injuries!"

As they walked, Chu Feng asked, "Actually, I’ve always been puzzled, but I felt it wasn’t appropriate to ask earlier. Is choosing a mentor compulsory upon entering the university?

"Quan Longhua has tens to hundreds of millions of new Martial Arts students every year; how many mentors would they need to manage them all!"

Wang Xuerui laughed and said, "Do you think every university is like Yan University? Yan University strictly implements a mentorship system, and there’s a reason for that."

"First, Yan University only enrolls a very few students each year, choosing only the top elites from the entire region, totaling just over a thousand each year.

"Spread across four colleges and more than a hundred mentors, some mentors oversee twenty to thirty students, while others only about ten, which is quite manageable.

"Actually, the current mentorship system is somewhat like the ancient master-apprentice system, and also somewhat like modern small class teaching.

"But it’s different at other universities.

"The other two top universities comparable to Yan University are okay, but the other miscellaneous thousands of universities each year must enroll thousands of new Martial Arts students.

"They accept anyone regardless of quality, indeed making it unmanageable.

"However, they have a solution, turning the mentorship system into a counselor responsibility system!"

Wang Xuerui shrugged her shoulders, "Those so-called ’mentors’ in those universities are few in number, and one person has to manage hundreds.

"So, they actually no longer take responsibility for students’ Cultivation guidance and resource provision—they couldn’t keep up even if they wanted to—but only manage students’ living conditions.

"Their students’ learning still relies on large class teaching.

"As for how much they can learn, it depends on their own abilities."

Chu Feng nodded, indeed, once the number increases, anything becomes scarce.

Mentors are also a scarce resource, good schools naturally have enough, but poor schools lacking sufficient mentors have to find other solutions.

He then asked, "You just said ’firstly’, what about ’secondly’?"

Wang Xuerui said, "Secondly, it’s something that the old professors in the school mentioned in passing.

"When Martial Arts education started, the training system was not yet complete, and responsibilities weren’t clearly defined.

"There was once a tragic incident where schools exploited students by forcing them into the Demon Realm to fight and turn in their loot, resulting in an extraordinarily high student mortality.

"Outraged, the Alliance threw a bunch of inhumane principals and vice-principals to the frontlines, also forcing them to face death.

"Subsequently, the three top universities took the lead, established and promoted a mentor responsibility system; if a student died young, the mentor was in trouble, which finally stopped the malpractice."

Chu Feng was speechless, "Wow, these guys are even crueler than capitalists."

"Capitalists aren’t as malicious; they understand the importance of steadiness and long-term benefits.

"Those people would just say one thing: ’if you won’t do it, plenty of others will’..."

As the two chatted, just about to exit the main gate, Wang Xuerui’s expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly stepped in front of Chu Feng.

Her voice cold and angry, she demanded, "Xuan Ziyuan, what are you trying to do by blocking our way?"

...

Xuan Ziyuan stood at the bottom of the office building’s stairs, watching Wang Xuerui and a somewhat pale-faced young man walk out laughing and talking together, and felt a blockage in his chest.

He hadn’t believed what Miao Ling said was true.

Wang Xuerui was indeed very close to a young man, showing a tender smile he had never seen before.

Then he saw that her expression immediately turned icy when she caught sight of him, like a protective mother beast blocking the young man.

Then pointing at him she shouted angrily, "Xuan Ziyuan, what are you trying to do by blocking our way?"

He had never seen Wang Xuerui this furious, the murderous intent in her words almost condensing into substance.

Comparing how Wang Xuerui treated that young man and him felt like she had completely switched her demeanor.

At the same time a slight pain in Xuan Ziyuan’s chest emerged, a complex emotion welled up inside him.

A bit sour, yet somewhat angry.

This emotion was new to him, he had never felt it before, it was the first time in his life.

It left him at a loss, unsure of what to do, frozen in place for a moment.

Just carrying those unspoken feelings, looking at the man behind Wang Xuerui.

Some words stuck in his throat, yet he had no idea what to say.
