Chapter 179: Chapter 167 Rumors of "Composite Technique," The Scheming of the Petty Master and Apprentice, I Have Achieved Innate!

Over the following half month, Chu Feng completely vanished from the public eye, with only occasional mentions and conversations reminding people of his existence.

"The Weakest Top Scholar," "Honorary Captain," and "Vast Wealth"—such contrasting evaluations piqued the curiosity of some.

Among them was Wang Xuerui’s comrade-in-arms, Jiang Qingsheng.

He scoffed at the disdainful comments about Chu Feng. After all, he had witnessed and heard about Chu Feng’s battle achievements, confirming that the youngster was an incredibly solid support.

He couldn’t be bothered to spread rumors; such a strong ally was his to silently count on.

Then there were Dai Sheng and Li Ying, a duo fatigued from their return from the Iron Chain Demon Domain to campus. They were utterly baffled.

Was the Chu Feng who had rampaged through the Iron Chain Demon Domain the same person as the "Weakest Top Scholar" mentioned by so many?!

...

Individuals like Jiang Qingsheng, Dai Sheng, and Li Ying grew increasingly curious about Chu Feng.

They were eager to learn how this kid had managed to transform from the so-called "Weakest Top Scholar" to someone so infuriatingly powerful.

It was more outrageous than the protagonist of a novel.

But before they could see Chu Feng again, their attention was captured by a shocking piece of news.

Lu Lin, a professor at Yan University famous for his eccentric behavior, had actually succeeded in developing an "All Attributes Cultivation Technique" that disregarded Attribute Affinity biases and could fully tap into the innate potential of the Human Race—

"Composite Technique"!

The news startled everyone who heard it, prompting them to ask around whether it was true or not.

"It’s definitely fake. How could that rubbish professor be capable of such a feat!"

Those who sneered and emphatically denied it were former students of Lu Lin.

These individuals harbored deep hatred towards Lu Lin, wanting nothing more than to see him ruined.

They believed that it was Lu Lin who had wasted their precious cultivation time, leading to their inability to keep pace with others.

"..."

"I hope it’s true. Then I won’t have to train so desperately every day, only to still not catch up with the progress of others!

"That feeling is simply too despairing!"

Those who spoke such words were students with inferior talent. They had been locally renowned or even considered cultivation geniuses during their high school years, but once at Yan University, they became indistinguishable from the crowd.

They couldn’t select the best mentors or access the best resources.

All they could do was helplessly watch as their classmates raced ahead, while they themselves couldn’t catch up even if they cultivated 24 hours a day.

Many had long since given up struggling, spurred on only by the threat of death in the form of conscription missions from the battlefield behind them.

For them, this news was like an oasis in the desert, a straw at the edge of a cliff.

It was their last hope for pulling themselves out of the abyss!

"..."

Upon hearing this news, some descendants of Noble Families with exceptional talents began to grimace.

If this Cultivation Technique were to be released, it would undoubtedly narrow the gap between geniuses and the mediocre, which was bad news for those who had enjoyed the concentrated efforts of their Family’s training.

The thought of those "country bumpkins" rising above them once again was particularly infuriating.

But such thoughts were not "politically correct" to voice; speaking out would invite a figurative beating.

So they could only hope the news was false.

This topic, through the clashing of different thoughts, caused quite a stir, becoming well-known to everyone, completely overshadowing the rumors about Chu Feng.

...

"Kid, I’ve already put my reputation on the line, and now you’re telling me we can’t release the Cultivation Technique yet?"

Lu Lin appeared helpless on the other end of the communication terminal, but his tone was very close, as if he was speaking to a member of his own family, tinged with a pampering tone.

"Don’t be in a hurry, Tutor. Listen to me,"

The one holding the communication terminal was none other than Chu Feng, who had been absent from the public for as long as half a month.

He said with a smile, "If you release the Cultivation Technique now, there will definitely be many who question, criticize, or even slander it.

"With your intelligence, you couldn’t have missed that point, right?

"After all, not all students want to see such a miraculous Cultivation Technique appear in the world and spread to all of humanity.

"It would certainly shake the foundations of some people who consider themselves superior."

Lu Lin shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, I know. Just validate the Cultivation Technique over time."

"Time? How much time will it take for ’our’ Composite Technique to emerge from the dirt and spit thrown by those people?"

Lu Lin couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth when he heard Chu Feng say "our Composite Technique;" he felt very gratified inside.

After all, he had toiled for nearly half a month to finally create the Cultivation Technique, and he really hoped for recognition.

Seeing this, Chu Feng also smiled slightly and continued:

"What if it gets collectively suppressed?

"Even if the suppression fails and it’s just temporarily repressed, it would still hinder the promotion, causing many ordinary Martial Artists to lose precious cultivation time!"

Lu Lin narrowed his eyes, looked at Chu Feng’s sincere face, and suddenly scoffed, "Kid, spit out whatever scheme you’ve got instead of trying to pull the wool over my eyes here!

"I won’t fall for your tricks."

Since stepping out of the shadows, Lu Lin had started to regularly shave and comb his hair, looking refreshingly clean, and his expression became much livelier than before.

Now his entire demeanor exuded a spirited and vibrant Vitality, Energy, and Spirit, no longer the dejection of his past.

Chu Feng giggled, "Instructor, what do you think...

"If at the opening ceremony, under the watchful eyes of the entire school, I use ’our’ Composite Technique to knock out everyone in one go and become the top scholar.

"Then we release ’our’ Cultivation Technique, wouldn’t the impact be even more stunning?

"Wouldn’t it be easier to convince people of the true value of the Composite Technique?"

Lu Lin made an "oh" sound, smiling as he exposed the truth, "Setting an example for the Composite Technique isn’t a problem; having a concrete example does indeed help avoid much criticism.

"But it also satisfies your own desire to show off, right?"

Chu Feng let out a cold laugh, "This isn’t just about showing off.

"You surely haven’t forgotten the indifference of those professors towards me when I arrived at Yan University injured?

"Of course, I’m not talking about you. Back then, both of us were Castaways at the End of the World, neither stronger than the other.

"I have many faults, but the biggest one is being petty and holding grudges. I’m still seething inside.

"If I don’t smack their faces hard during the enrollment and see their helpless expressions, I won’t feel at ease!

"It’s also the perfect opportunity to make a name for ’our’ Composite Technique. Two birds, one stone.

"A win-win, don’t you think? We win twice!"

Lu Lin shook his head with a helpless smile, "You really have a strong vengeful streak, kid."

But he immediately lifted his head, his eyes sparkling brilliantly, and he laughed loudly, "But I’ve been sick of them for a long time too!

"When I was down and out, those guys didn’t hesitate to mock and kick me while I was down, stealing cultivation resources as well.

"I used to not bother with it, but starting today, I need to settle some scores.

"Everything they took from me, they will have to spit it all back out!"

Lu Lin rarely cursed, but his words made Chu Feng’s blood boil, "Then, Instructor, shall we do it?"

Lu Lin looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Just one question, can you defeat all those new students?

"If you get beaten, our situation will become even harder."

Facing the doubt, Chu Feng’s straightforward response made Lu Lin beam with joy.

"I’m already Innate."

Lu Lin burst into hearty laughter, his beard and hair bristly with excitement, "Then let’s do it!

"I’ll go find Principal Nie Yan and Gu Hongying and have them keep it a secret too."
