Chapter 208: Chapter 196: The Mentor’s Gift, Close Yet Timid

Chu Feng arrived at Lu Lin’s dormitory entrance, just about to knock when a weary voice came from inside, "Come in, the door is unlocked."

Upon entering, he saw Lu Lin sprawled on the couch in a spread-eagled pose, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Upon seeing Chu Feng, he managed a weak smile, "You’re here."

"It seems you’ve been quite busy lately, Tutor." Chu Feng made himself comfortable on the couch opposite Lu Lin.

"Don’t even mention it, Principal Nie, that skinflint, would love nothing more than to have us professors pinned down compiling cultivation techniques 24 hours a day...

"But there’s no helping it, there are still several hundred people’s cultivation techniques undetermined.

"You ’forced my hand with death’, and only then did I escape from that hell."

He sat up, raised his hands, and vigorously rubbed his face, "These past few days, I’ve been nearly sick of looking at cultivation techniques."

Chu Feng asked puzzledly, "Composite techniques are simple once explained, right? Just casually combine multiple techniques."

Lu Lin lowered his hands, giving him a strange look, "Easy for you to say, you think everyone is like you.

"The original techniques used for combination are too complicated. After combining them, that’s at least seven times the difficulty of practice.

"We must simplify the unnecessary details and keep only the main structure, then find a suitable fusion point to avoid conflicts in attributes.

"Just this point alone is enough to scratch one’s head.

"There are thousands of types of techniques, with no standard method of fusion, and each change requires a reevaluation.

"Additionally, we must find a suitable guiding method, as not everyone is so sensitive to space and meridians.

"Jiang Long, that fool, rashly tried to practice a half-baked technique he concocted himself and nearly ended up in a demonic trance from which he couldn’t wake.

"He’s still lying in the school hospital receiving treatment."

Lu Lin’s face could not hide his schadenfreude.

Chu Feng scratched his head and smiled, "Thanks for the compliment, Tutor, but I’m not that strong; it’s all just luck, just luck."

Lu Lin rolled his eyes, pointed at him, and chuckled, "You, ah."

Chu Feng was about to state his purpose when Lu Lin suddenly stood up, "But your timing is perfect, I have some things to hand over to you."

He walked to the desk behind him, picked up two books and a dark-colored doll, and handed them to Chu Feng:

"I’ve found you two decent martial techniques, plus a little something for protection."

Chu Feng stood up to receive them, looking at the doll in his hand, "Something for protection?"

Lu Lin relaxed back into the couch, casually saying, "A pretty good magic conductor, a life-saving doll, just activate it with a drop of blood.

If you sustain a fatal injury, it will transfer the damage to itself, which could save your life."

"This thing must be quite valuable, huh?" Chu Feng widened his eyes slightly as he asked.

Lu Lin laughed, "It’s alright, it includes half of Principal Nie’s good intentions.

Don’t be polite, take it. It also saves me worrying if you go out and someone frets about you dying young.

It’s only you, kid, who would get this kind of treatment; anyone else can forget about it."

"Thank you, Tutor, I’ll take it unashamedly then." Chu Feng chuckled, and the doll suddenly vanished, stowed away in his Grotto Heaven.

Lu Lin sighed to himself upon seeing this, This kid is really outrageous.

Only in the Innate Realm, and he stumbled into creating a Grotto Heaven!

...

Chu Feng then looked at the two books in his hands, whose covers read "Thunder Light Step" and "Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique."

Lu Lin explained, "Based on my understanding of you, your offensive power should be sufficient, but you might be slightly lacking in mobility and protection.

"Therefore, I’ve found you two martial techniques."

"Thunder Light Step" is a secret martial technique complementing the Heaven-Penetrating Earth-Piercing Raigeki True Formula. I think it’s quite decent, so I obtained it from its original master for you."

"The strengths of this technique are both long-distance rushing and rapid bursts, although it is slightly inferior in agile maneuvers."

"Additionally, it is relatively difficult to master."

"As for the Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique, it temporarily relies on Metal Attribute True Force to greatly enhance both internal and external bodily defenses, and it’s quite effective."

"With long-term use, it will gradually enhance the strength of your physical body."

Speaking to this point, he showed a hint of emotion, "Ever since you publicized the concept of Composite Technique, many people’s perspectives have changed.

"Most professors used to cherish their own secret techniques and martial skills, seeing them as invaluable, with almost no desire for exchange.

"After all, sectarianism is hard to avoid."

He looked at Chu Feng and smiled, "But now, everyone has started to tentatively exchange martial skills, taking advantages from others to compensate for their own deficiencies, preparing for the future shift in their cultivation practices."

"And this is clearly a good thing for everyone, as it will increase our foundation and allow Martial Arts to rapidly develop through the collision of ideas.

"Out of gratitude to you, when I approached the two professors about wanting these two techniques, they agreed immediately to gift them to you."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "The professors praise me too highly. I just recognized the mentor’s concept and hoped to contribute to the strengthening of the human race.

"Besides, obtaining these techniques relied on the mentor making a move, so I should be thanking you more for keeping me in mind."

Lu Lin’s expression showed pleasure as he waved his hand and laughed, "Don’t mention it. You’re my student, and you helped me fulfill a dream, so let’s not stand on ceremony."

"By the way, what brings you to me this time?"

Chu Feng put the two techniques into his Grotto Heaven and said, "I would like to ask for a week’s leave from you, teacher."

Lu Lin’s expression hardened, "Taking leave at this time, is there an emergency?

"You’ve just started school, and now is the time to lay a solid foundation. Personally, I would advise you to stay in school and attend classes.

"After all, your usage of True Force is still too naive; you need some guidance."

Chu Feng nodded and said, "I understand, teacher, but this leave is necessary."

His expression turned somewhat dark, and his lips tightened, "My parents’ caskets have been sent back home, and I need to attend to them."

Lu Lin remembered the records in Chu Feng’s file, that his parents had died as officers in the Demon Extermination Army on the battlefield.

He sighed softly, "That’s important, then you should go, and don’t worry about the rest."

"Alright, thank you, teacher. I will take my leave now."

Lu Lin stood up, escorted Chu Feng out, and watched his departing figure with a sigh.

Facing the harsh reality of his parents’ deaths, Chu Feng still managed to live so resiliently and brightly, which was not easy for him.

...

Chu Feng walked off the train alone.

Wang Xuerui had been taken by her mentor to participate in the compilation of cultivation techniques because she had witnessed the creation of the Composite Technique, which had caused her mentor to value her highly, pulling her to lead the assault team.

Because of this, she didn’t have time to come back with him this time.

It was evening now, and the sun was setting, casting generous swathes of golden-red light.

Standing at the exit, looking at the buildings gilded in a golden halo under the setting sun and the gradually spreading shadows. Wires crisscrossing the sky broke it into many colorful fragments.

Chu Feng suddenly felt somewhat intimidated.

He was a bit unsure how to face what was coming next.

"Xiao Feng!" a voice broke through his uncertainty.

He turned his head and saw Wang Weiguo standing in the twilight’s afterglow, smiling and waving at him.
