The train to the end of life will pass through one station after another, and Xingcheng Middle School has become a past tense for Feng Qi.

He bid farewell to six years of youth, but also left behind beautiful memories.

With the blessings of his classmates, he set out on the road back to Xingcheng Academy.

After getting off the bus, he was about to walk towards the gate of Xingcheng Academy, when the voice of the driver came from behind:

"Young man, don't embarrass our Xingcheng Academy, no matter how weak you are, you can't have a record of 0!"

Hearing the driver's shout, he felt helpless, but still turned his head to look at the driver and waved:

"Okay, uncle, see you again if we are lucky"

The driver grinned and gave Feng Qi a thumbs up, then started the school bus and hurried away.

When he arrived at the gate of Xingcheng Academy, as the instrument scanned his whole body, Feng Qi's detailed information appeared on the tablet of the security uncle.

After confirming his identity as a freshman, he was released.

Walking along the marble road with statues on both sides, there were many freshmen who came to report with luggage like him.

With smiles on their faces, they looked around the environment of Xingcheng Academy with curiosity, and seemed to be looking forward to the new life in the academy.

The lotus flowers in the lotus pond in front were in full bloom, and the weeping willows nearby were swaying in the wind, full of green.

The place for new students to register was at the office building to the east of the dormitory building, where they needed to pick up school uniforms and first-year textbooks and other items.

Walking forward along the marble road, a figure caught Feng Qi's attention.

He was wearing patched clothes, carrying a large cloth bag, and his cloth shoes were also tattered. The most conspicuous thing was his shiny head, which reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

He also noticed that the new student had a scar on his head.

From these appearance features, he could basically be sure that this was a Buddhist disciple.

As if noticing Feng Qi's gaze, the monk suddenly turned his head to look at him, then walked towards him with a smile:

"Donor...ah no, classmate, do you have any food with you? I'm so hungry!"

Feng Qi:...

"After reporting, you can go to the school restaurant to eat. There is a 24-hour buffet there."

Hearing Feng Qi's words, the monk said with a little embarrassment:

"Is the food here expensive?"

Realizing that the monk was financially constrained, he smiled and answered:

"The food here is free."

"Meat is also free?" The monk's face showed a surprise expression.

Feng Qi:...

"You are a monk, and you still eat meat?"

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. Besides, I am a cultivator. How can I get enough nutrition without meat? If I take energy supplements every day, my family conditions do not allow it."

"So, is the meat free?" The monk asked expectantly.

"Free."

"Then this is a really good place." The monk smiled.

After taking another look at the monk, Feng Qi asked curiously:

"Why are you dressed like this? There are so many relief stations in the city, so it should be no problem to give you a new set of clothes, right?"

Faced with the question, the monk sighed and said with a sad face:

"I am an ascetic monk. Master thinks that the suffering in the world is limited. As long as we suffer a little more, the common people can suffer a little less, so I look like this."

Hearing this, Feng Qi was in awe.

Spiritual beliefs can sometimes really bring strength to people, regardless of whether it is something illusory or not.

Especially when you are in a desperate situation, the spiritual power brought by faith may give people the courage to break through despair.

But the monk's next words made his respect disappear.

"But Master can't control me now, I will change into school uniform later."

Looking at the smile on the monk's face, Feng Qi felt that he must have been suffocated before entering Xingcheng Academy.

During the chat, they left each other their phone numbers and then came to the building of the admissions office.

From a distance, many students wearing the uniforms of Xingcheng Academy stood in two rows, smiling at their arrival. Seeing

this scene, the monk couldn't help but curiously said:

"The seniors of Xingcheng Academy are really enthusiastic. They even came to greet us specially."

Hearing this, Feng Qi pointed to a sign standing on the right side of the office building:

"Look at what's written on that sign?"

The monk heard it and immediately turned his head to look. When he saw the content written on the sign clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

The sign read:

If freshmen want to pass through here, they need to prove their strength and courage. Xingcheng Academy does not accept weaklings and cowards.

"No way, they are going to give us a show of strength on the first day of school?"

Seeing Feng Qi's smiling face and looking very calm, the monk was a little confused:

"It may just be a formality. Why don't you go first and try it?"

Realizing that the monk wanted to use him as a pathfinder, Feng Qi nodded.

"Okay."

Then he pushed the suitcase towards the office building.

The monk did not follow him, but hid behind and began to observe the situation.

If the beating was severe, he decided to cushion his body with something, if it was just a formality, he would just go straight in.

Seeing Feng Qi pushing his luggage to the middle of the seniors, the monk held his breath.

However, the imagined scene of being beaten did not appear, and the seniors standing on both sides greeted Feng Qi with a smile.

Although he could not hear what they said, the monk thought the seniors did not have any bad intentions.

But what he did not know was how special Feng Qi's status was in Xingcheng Academy.

No matter which class the students were from, they all came to listen to his lectures. They were eager to please this knowledgeable teacher, so how could they dare to offend him?

But in the eyes of the monk, the first hurdle for freshmen to enter school was purely for show.

The seniors and they just went through the motions and said hello.

But just as he was about to follow Feng Qi's steps to the office building, a newcomer stepped into the "welcome area" before him.

Then, in front of the monk's stunned expression, the freshman was beaten to the ground.

Monk: ...

Seeing this scene, the monk quickly retracted his steps. Unsure, he took out his cell phone with a broken screen and called Feng Qi.

After the call was connected, the monk immediately asked:

"Classmate, how come nothing happened when you went there? What happened?"

"Oh, the seniors are very kind."

"How is that possible? I saw them beat up a freshman with my own eyes. They didn't hit the vital parts, but it looked painful."

"You are an ascetic monk, and you are afraid of pain?"

"Yes, I am very afraid!"

"Maybe I was a little arrogant when I went there, so you should be more arrogant too. The seniors look down on cowards the most. When the time comes, look fierce, take a step forward, and never lose in momentum."

Monk: ...

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath, then put on his cloth bag and walked towards the office building.

Although he was panicking inside, his eyes pretended to be extremely fierce, and his steps were even more arrogant.

Seeing this scene, the seniors who came to "welcome" were stunned. They

had seen arrogant people before, but they had never seen anyone so arrogant on the first day of school.

At this moment, they felt that they were being seriously provoked by this freshman.

If he didn't beat him, how could he save his face as a senior!

"Fuck him!"

With the monk's horrified expression, the seniors rushed over.

What was originally a formality of showing off, turned out to be a real beating for the monk.

After a while, the monk with a swollen nose and face fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Until now, he still didn't understand what went wrong.

Was it because I wasn't arrogant enough?
