Luo Shizhen was a truly honest person. He studied and lived very earnestly, but unfortunately, he was not very smart. After repeating his final year of high school for two years, his grades still w...
Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Chapter 28 (Update 1)…
When Chen Heyan came over, the students who were supposed to be dismissed after the relaxation training class were being kept in the classroom.
Above the podium, Lynch gave a lecture with a blank expression and a serious face.
"Some students, even though they've just awakened, should still manage their own Qi and not harass their classmates for no reason."
"If you can't even manage your Qi properly, how can we expect you to fight monsters in the future? Oh! The monster is coming, and you're about to use your Qi, but when you turn around, you see your Qi has gone to your classmates?!"
As he spoke, he began to sneer, showing the character of a sarcastic teacher to the fullest.
"From now on, no one is allowed to skip the [Qi Management] class. Anyone who skips will be put in solitary confinement!"
Chen Heyan: "..."
It's obvious that this is the [teacher's words to scold students] learned from the Internet.
Unfortunately, the students who committed the crime didn't react at all, at least on the surface they all seemed calm.
This is normal. The instinct of awakened people is not to show weakness in front of others. Even if they really have something in their hearts, they will not show it.
Just like a wild beast in the wild, when it is injured, it will try its best not to show signs of weakness, so as to prevent other beasts from noticing something is wrong and taking advantage of the situation.
Luo Shizhen, on the other hand, sat in his seat, looking uneasy and a little nervous, as if he was feeling guilty.
The empty seat to his right was supposed to be Rong Nian's, but now Rong Nian was in solitary confinement, so the seat was vacant.
Luo Shizhen could only quietly move his body to the left and ask the student sitting on his left in a low voice.
"Hello, I haven't learned how to manage Qi yet, and I can't feel the externalization of Qi. Excuse me, can you feel it? Is Teacher Lin talking about me?"
The externalized state of Qi is easily affected by the personality of the awakened person.
Just like an awakened person with an arrogant personality, his Qi will also be arrogant; an awakened person who likes fighting will also be more skilled in fighting.
In the past, most energy users were sensitive artists, so they had a more detailed control over Qi.
But Luo Shizhen's personality was naturally a bit slow. Even if he listened to the class carefully, after a few days, he still couldn't feel where his Qi was.
Now that Teacher Lin mentioned "certain students", Luo Shizhen felt very guilty and identified himself with them.
The black-haired twin: "..."
As a real "certain student", when Lin Qi arrived, he and his twin brother's Qi were entangled in Luo Shizhen's arms and were inseparable.
He paused: "...not you."
Luo Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm glad it wasn't him. He was really worried that his Qi would harass his classmates without his knowledge.
He gave his black-haired classmate a grateful smile: "Thank you, Yinghe."
Ying He was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Luo Shi to really remember his name.
After all, Luo Shizhen has been immersed in his own world these days and seems to be always busy.
Yinghe even doubted whether he didn't even know how many people were in his class.
He was surprised in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "You're welcome."
His Qi was originally quietly coiled around him, but as Luo Shi really got closer, it began to stir again.
Because there was a powerful older awakener in the classroom suppressing him, only a small thread was free to move slowly towards Luo Shizhen.
Ying He's body stiffened, and he wanted to control himself, but he was still in the initial awakening period, and his Qi, which was usually obedient most of the time, was now very willful.
Luo Shizhen was sitting upright, listening to Teacher Lin's lecture, and didn't notice it at all.
Lynch glanced down and his eyelids twitched again.
He stretched out his long legs and was about to go down and teach the student who had committed a crime in public a lesson, but Chen Heyan quickly came up to the stage and stopped him.
"Teacher Lin has almost finished talking, let me start."
Chen Heyan signaled Lin Qi to step down. Lin Qi gave the black-haired student a warning look and strode off the stage.
The difference between novice teachers and veteran teachers is clear at a glance.
Chen Heyan still had a smile on his face and his tone was gentle:
"Although it's in the textbook, I still need to explain it to everyone. I know that students have a strong sense of territory. They are at the age where they want to occupy everything they see."
"However, we are human beings after all, not beasts. Putting Qi on other students without their permission is extremely barbaric and bad behavior. We do not encourage such behavior."
"Some students may say that they can't control their own Qi, but I want to make it clear to everyone here: unless you are completely polluted, your Qi is equivalent to yourself."
"The Qi body may move freely when relaxed, but it cannot be completely out of the control of its owner. To some extent, it represents the subconscious mind of the awakened person. Everything it does is because the awakened person wants to do it."
Chen Heyan smiled and looked down. Ying He, who was being looked at by him, said: "..."
His expression was natural and he didn't look away.
But a trace of his Qi still clung to Luo Shizhen's arm, flowing slowly.
Chen Heyan raised his eyebrows and changed the subject:
"That's all for today. Teacher, let me teach you a little trick on how to identify Qi bodies."
"First, close your eyes."
Among all the students in the class, Luo Shizhen was the only one who could not distinguish and feel the Qi body, so he immediately closed his eyes obediently.
"Focus all your attention on yourself. Quietly feel every part of your body and feel if there's anything wrong with it. Is there something strange in your body?"
"Breathe deeply... Start from the bottom, feet, calves, thighs, waist, chest, right arm... left arm..."
Luo Shizhen felt his left arm as Teacher Chen said.
Suddenly, although he closed his eyes, he felt as if there was a small, feather-like thing on his right arm, gently sliding across his right arm.
Above, Chen Heyan said, "If you feel something different, you can open your eyes and look. You won't see anything, but you will have a faint feeling that something is falling there. That is the Qi body."
Luo Shizhen's eyes widened in surprise. He really couldn't see anything on his right arm, but he could clearly feel that it was a light feather.
Is this his own Qi?
Chen Heyan said: "This kind of Qi that can feel a distinct sense of foreignness is the Qi of [other people]. Because your own Qi originates from your true self, it will not feel foreign."
He added emphasis to the two words "others".
Yinghe's Qi paused for a second, and then continued to flow slowly as if nothing had happened.
The red-haired boy sitting in the front left seemed to sense something and turned his head suddenly.
Seeing his twin brother's Qi openly clinging to Luo Shizhen, he looked at his brother in disbelief.
Ying He: “…”
It was difficult for him to explain this matter, so he didn't intend to explain it.
He just looked away, not meeting his brother's gaze.
More and more students in the classroom realized what Chen Heyan meant.
This is so obvious, who can't hear it?
Some of them also looked around and then focused their attention on Ying He, who was openly violating the rules.
Even under the gazes of so many people, Ying He was still able to turn a blind eye, and his Qi body was still hovering over Luo Shizhen openly.
In fact, he also wanted to take it back, but his Qi felt comfortable on Luo Shizhen, and it was not obvious on Yinghe's surface. In fact, he had used up all his strength, but he just couldn't pull his Qi back from the person next to him.
Ying He did not want to admit what Chen Heyan said: "Qi is controlled by the subconscious mind."
He thought there might be other reasons, such as the Purifier's attraction to the Qi body.
But Luo Shizhen's personality is surprisingly good. The two have been "neighbors" for almost three days. In every class every day, he can see Luo Shizhen studying hard.
It should be hard for anyone to have any bad feelings towards such a person who is serious about everything he does, right?
Chen Heyan slowly walked down from the podium:
"If you sense a Qi body but can't identify whose Qi it is, you can close your eyes again and feel your surroundings. In the darkness, your five senses will be more acute, and you will be able to follow the Qi you have found from [someone else] all the way back to its owner."
Luo Shi was probably the only one in the audience who couldn't hear anything. He actually thought that Teacher Chen was giving a lecture.
Luo Shizhen was the only one in the audience who was listening to the class attentively.
He closed his eyes again and tried to feel his surroundings.
The world was pitch black with his eyes closed, but because of the small touch on his left arm, Luo Shizhen tried to focus on it.
Is this supposed to be a feather?
It was very soft, and although he couldn't see it, he had a strange feeling in his heart: it was a white feather.
Luo Shizhen was in the dark world, looking at the white feather curiously. Although his body did not move, he felt as if he could touch it.
When I touched it lightly, it was not as light and soft as I had imagined. On the contrary, it was a bit hard and gave off a feeling of being difficult to approach.
Luo Shizhen cautiously withdrew his touch, but he couldn't help his curiosity, so he moved closer again and patted the feather.
Feather didn't seem to care, but floated over lightly.
"Ahem!" Chen Heyan's voice rose considerably. "To some extent, the Qi body is equivalent to half of the Awakener's body. High-level Awakeners have a deeper fusion with their Qi body. Therefore, at higher levels, the touch felt by the Qi body can also be felt by the Awakener himself."
"Although those below the fifth level cannot yet experience Qi empathy, good habits should be developed now. Please do not touch other people's Qi at will. This is impolite."
The very polite Luo Shi really wondered, is this considered touching someone else's Qi body?
Chen Heyan had already walked to Luo Shizhen's side, and gently placed his hand on the student's shoulder. His voice was a little gentler than before:
"Move your consciousness. Each Qi body has a unique aura. Follow its aura to find its master..."
Luo Shizhen was obedient. He controlled his consciousness and stopped stroking the feather. Then, guided by Teacher Chen's voice, he followed the scent of the feather and moved tentatively to the left.
Found it, more feathers.
Luo Shizhen suddenly opened his eyes, and his Qi body was curiously staying in front of Ying He.
One person, one qi, has similar curiosity.
Luo Shizhen: "Yinghe, is your Qi body in me?"
Ying He, who had been allowing others to stare at him, and under the teacher's warnings and the twins' angry gazes, still maintained a natural expression: "..."
Being stared at by Luo Shizhen's dark eyes, he slowly looked away.
"It's me."
"So it really is you!!"
Yinghe felt numb all over.
He was prepared for Luo Shi to really scold him for his bad character.
Of course, he admitted that he was not a man of high moral character.
But because his Qi body was disobedient and was misunderstood by Luo Shizhen, a man who looked serious at first glance, Ying He's mood naturally couldn't be good.
"Thank you!!"
Luo Shizhen's cool voice came.
Ying He was startled, and his dark eyes turned back to the person next to him.
Luo Shizhen was still excited: "If it weren't for your Qi body, I wouldn't be able to feel where the Qi is now! I actually learned it!"
He looked up at Chen Heyan who was standing behind him, his eyes sparkling with excitement:
"Teacher, does this count as learning to sense the Qi body?! I can feel that Yinghe's Qi is in the shape of feathers. Am I feeling it correctly?"
Chen Heyan looked at Luo Shizhen, who was smiling broadly and completely unaware that he was being touched by someone else's Qi. He smiled helplessly and gently rubbed his shoulders.
"That's right, Yinghe is Sequence 11 - Angel - White Wing."
"Shi Zhen, you learn very quickly."
Luo Shizhen was even happier after being praised by the teacher.
He turned to look at Ying He: "Ying He, did you deliberately put the Qi on me so that I could practice? Thank you!"
Luo Shizhen's thanks were always sincere and enthusiastic, and it seemed as if he always had endless kindness in his heart.
Ying He, who could remain calm under the gaze of others, felt inexplicably flustered when being looked at by Luo Shizhen like that.
If he said yes now, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was helping Luo Shizhen.
Saying no is equivalent to saying that your Qi body is out of control.
Ying He simply lowered his eyes, avoiding Luo Shizhen's gaze, pursed his lips and did not answer.
Luo Shizhen didn't care about his silence.
He was still in the excitement of having learned to feel Qi.
He had been trying to practice every day for three days, but he had never felt anything. Now he had made such great progress!
Luo Shizhen carefully raised his left arm. Now he had his eyes open, but he could still clearly feel that there was a white feather on it.
It was really strange. He couldn't see it visually, and he could hardly feel it by touch, but he could just realize that there was a feather here, and he could even tell its color.
Luo Shizhen subconsciously reached out to touch it.
Chen Heyan: "Hey, Shi Zhen, remember what the teacher just said? Touching other people's Qi bodies casually is impolite."
Luo Shizhen quickly withdrew his hand.
He is a good boy who listens to his teacher.
So, he tried hard to control his excitement and asked Yinghe politely:
"Yinghe, can I touch your Qi?"
If you get permission, it's not just casual touching, right?
Chen Heyan: "..."
Teacher Chen opened his mouth, then closed it again, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Ying He: “…”
Ying He raised his eyes: "You... want to touch my Qi?"
Seeing his reaction, Luo Shizhen felt a little nervous, wondering if he had said something wrong.
After all, he and Yinghe were not very familiar with each other, they had just been "neighbors" for three days.
"I just want to try to see if I can feel the Qi with my hands. If you can't, forget it."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Chen Heyan: "Teacher, can you let me..."
"Okay." Ying He has already answered.
Luo Shizhen turned back in surprise: "Thank you! I will be very gentle!"
He carefully stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the cold, hard, and sharp feather according to the position he felt.
“I can really touch it!”
Luo Shizhen was extremely surprised. He went to see Chen Heyan and said, "Teacher, teacher, I touched it!"
It has smooth lines, is slender and elegant, and Luo Shizhen can even feel the tip of its tip like a sharp blade.
But the feather did not hurt it. When he reached out to touch it, the tip of the feather, which could easily cut human skin, lifted up slightly on its own, avoiding the possibility of scratching his hand.
This action adds a touch of softness to this sharp feather.
Luo Shizhen didn't notice that he was still in the state of "learning to feel the Qi body" with a serious attitude and a "research" mentality.
He touched the feather very carefully and completely, inside and out.
After touching it, Luo Shizhen gently stroked the feathers from top to bottom, while looking at Ying He with envy.
His praise always comes straight from his heart, and therefore is particularly sincere:
"It looks like a sword to me."
“So beautiful.”
"Yinghe, thank you."
Chen Heyan's gaze fell on Ying He's earlobe, which had already turned red. He had expected this and just gently rubbed Luo Shizhen's head.
Luo Shizhen was so obedient as to be rubbed, and even turned back to look at him and smiled affectionately, his eyes full of unguarded trust and intimacy.
Ying He was two seconds late in answering, his expression still revealing nothing:
"Yeah, nothing much."
After another two seconds of pausing, he added calmly:
"If you like, you can touch it more."
