Xue Huan was flipping through a book on formations when she was unexpectedly called out. She stood up with some confusion, "Teacher, it's me."
Wei Xiuran smiled and nodded at her. "From now on, you will be the president of my department. You will assist me in marking exams and assessing students' performance."
Isn’t this the class representative?
Xue Huan didn't want to be the leader and was about to refuse when someone spoke before her.
"Teacher, I don't think it's appropriate for Xue Huan to be the president."
It was Li Yulong. He didn't stand up, but just sat in his seat, with his arms folded across his chest, looking straight at Wei Xiuran in front of him.
Wei Xiuran didn't get angry either, and asked calmly, "What do you think is inappropriate?"
Li Yulong didn't want to see Xue Huan, a lowly person, bullying him and the others, but he couldn't say this out loud in front of the teacher. With a quick thought, he came up with a reason: "Since she's the president of the Formation Class, her Formation skills should at least convince everyone in the class, right? I don't think her Formation skills are that high."
As for breaking the cherry blossom formation? Maybe it was just luck.
If Senior Sister Zhou hadn't almost cracked the formation inside, how could Xue Huan have taken advantage of it?
"Yes, teacher, I don't agree with Xue Huan being the president."
"Xue Huan is not worthy!"
Others responded to Li Yulong.
Wei Xiuran's tone was calm, but his words were sharp: "Xue Huan isn't worthy? Then who is? Who can break the cherry blossom formation in just a quarter of an hour?"
Li Yulong raised his chin and said, "We just didn't break the formation. Otherwise, how could Xue Huan have had a chance to do so?"
"That's right, Brother Long is a second-level formation master. A mere cherry blossom formation can't possibly faze Brother Long!"
"If Brother Long also goes to break the formation, Xue Huan is nothing!"
Li Yulong's lackeys all expressed their support for him.
Wei Xiuran frowned, revealing a hint of disgust. "Really? Then I'll give you a chance. Go and try to break the formation and see if Xue Huan is worthy enough."
He turned and walked out. When he reached the door, he looked back at everyone and said, "Let's go. For today's class, we'll go to the cherry blossom forest."
Li Yulong and others looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to follow.
Xue Huan stood up and walked out with a headache. To be honest, she really didn't want to be the president, nor did she want to get into meaningless disputes with Li Yulong and his group of children from aristocratic families. But Teacher Wei supported her in front of everyone. If she said she didn't want to be the president now, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
Xiao Jian walked beside her with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing a tight suit today, a shirt and pants. His hair was combed into a high ponytail with a wisp of red hair on his forehead. His expression was cold and unruly, and he looked like a cool boy.
However, no one knew that what he was thinking about at this moment was the hot pot he had eaten that day. The plump chicken feet, the meat on them fell off the bones with just a little suck, the plump and juicy chicken wings, one bite was so satisfying, even the vegetables that he didn't like to eat before, when mixed with the spicy soup, were delicious.
Slurp, if only I could eat it again.
A group of people arrived in front of the cherry blossom formation. Wei Xiuran stood in front of the barrier with his hands behind his back, facing everyone: "Whoever can break this cherry blossom formation today will be the undisputed president. Do you have any objections?"
Li Yulong and the others remained silent.
Wei Xiuran asked, "Since everyone has no objections, let's get started. Who goes first?"
Li Yulong thought, isn't it just a formation? The Li family is known for its formations. How many formations have he seen and broken since he was a child?
The reason why the cherry blossom formation in the academy has never been cracked is because the senior students are too incompetent, so it still has to be done by him, a member of the Li family.
As a second-level formation master certified by the Formation Association, Li Yulong is very confident in himself.
He stepped forward and began to break the outermost barrier.
Wei Xiuran knew that it would take a lot of time to break the formation, so he didn't just stand there. He walked under a cherry tree, took out a coffee table cushion from his storage bag, put the tea set on it, and leisurely brewed tea.
He was dressed in a white robe as white as snow, with his hair tied with a green silk ribbon and draped behind him. His every move was so pleasing to the eye that many girls in the class stole a glance at him.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the confidence on Li Yulong's face was replaced by anxiety. How could it be possible? He was a second-level formation master! Xue Huan was just a lowly person who had luckily passed the entrance exam to the academy. How could he not be able to compete with her?
Li Yulong tried again and again, unconvinced, but the paper-thin transparent barrier in front of him remained motionless.
Xiao Jian leaned against a cherry tree and sneered at the situation. "It's been so long, Li Yulong, are you really any good? Yesterday, Xue Huan spent the same amount of time as you and broke through the entire formation, but you can't even break the outermost layer of the barrier. How dare you say that Xue Huan is unworthy of being the president? I think you're the one who's unworthy, right?"
"Xiao Jian, you!" Li Yulong stared at him angrily, his fists clenched, as if he wanted to rush up and fight him.
Xiao Jian was not afraid of him. "Why? I was just telling you the truth. Why are you so angry? You have to learn to accept reality."
Li Yulong's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
Dogleg Number One advised him: "Brother Long, let's not bother with him."
Lackey number two: "Brother Long, isn't it just a title of president? We don't care about it. Whoever wants to be it can be it. Anyway, it's all up to us to decide whether to cooperate or not." He showed a standard villain-like sinister smile on his face.
Li Yulong was barely appeased. "Humph, you have a point. He's just a guild president, a small official. Only the lowly people care about him."
Wei Xiuran put down the teacup gracefully, "Who else wants to try?"
Even Li Yulong had failed, so who else would dare to try? Their formation skills were far inferior to his.
Wei Xiuran stood up and walked to the barrier. He pressed a slender and powerful hand like jade on the barrier, and the barrier suddenly became visible. In the sunlight, it looked like a layer of colorful bubble film. Countless complex runes were moving on it in an irregular manner, at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.
He began his on-site teaching: "This barrier is the first layer of the Sakura Formation. When Elder Li first set up the formation, he took into account the students' ability to break the formation. Therefore, the level of the formation he set up is not very high, only the second level."
Having said that, he glanced at Li Yulong and said, "But to crack it, you need a thorough understanding of the second-level formation..."
It's like a second-grade math problem. If you don't find the right approach, even a college student might not be able to solve it.
The Sakura Formation is just like this. Although it is only a second-level formation, its difficulty is at the level of Mathematical Olympiad, and it is extremely complex, with one layer inside another. The overall difficulty is actually no less than the third level, or even the fourth level.
After Wei Xiu Ran explained the knowledge about formations, he set up a formation on the spot and asked the students to break it, just like a math teacher setting a math problem on the spot and asking students to solve it.
