Shen Xiaojie later told him a lot of things about Professor Fan, such as the two major instrument instructors at Penglai University, one of whom was Dean Kong and the other was Professor Fan.
With Professor Fan's qualifications, he could have become vice dean long ago, but he never did because he felt it didn't matter and his status would not change at all because of a title.
Senior Qin Dai is Professor Fan’s student, and one of the few he has accepted over the years.
"Professor Fan is very picky about people. He doesn't like students without personality. I think you, Gao Han, have a good chance," Shen Xiaojie said with a smile. "Although Professor Fan scolds people a lot, the more he scolds someone, the more he likes that person."
"I don't have a masochistic tendency." Gao Han said.
Shen Xiaojie laughed out loud, "You're really humorous, but I think you can really try harder."
"Yeah." Gao Han responded, glancing at Professor Fan who had put down the roll call book, "It's time for class."
Shen Xiaojie had no choice but to end the topic with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
Professor Fan's class was exactly the same as what Shen Xiaojie said, but he also called someone to act as his assistant. Unfortunately, this person was Gao Han, who was completely worried about him.
Gao Han had no complaints, as he could observe Professor Fan refining equipment up close, which was something other students would have loved to have, but unfortunately they did not have this honor.
The other students were jealous and fortunate. They were fortunate that only those who were recognized by Professor Fan could have this honor. However, this kind of recognition was not necessarily a good thing most of the time.
When Professor Fan was refining the weapon, he did not explain it while he was refining. He hardly spoke during the whole process. His concentration was so intense that it was terrifying to watch.
He is a master instrument maker with rich experience. Many problems that students have always had trouble handling can be easily solved in his hands.
By the time the magic weapon in Professor Fan's hand took shape, everyone was surprised to realize that only more than half an hour had passed.
As expected of a master weapon maker, it only takes him half the time while others would take at least an hour to complete the task. This is due to his experience and strength.
"Okay, tell me what you saw and how you felt after seeing it?" Professor Fan asked Gao Han to return to his seat and then said to everyone.
"It must feel great to watch Professor Fan refining the weapon up close, right?" Shen Xiaojie secretly asked Gao Han who had returned.
Gao Han nodded, the harvest was indeed great.
The book in the Yayoi ring is just words after all. It can tell you the steps, but you still have to rely on your own understanding.
When Professor Fan was refining the weapon, he could watch the whole process intuitively and clearly see his handling of certain details, which was very helpful to him. If Professor Fan taught like this every day, he would be happy to come every day.
However, after listening to Shen Xiaojie's words, Professor Fan might not show everyone how to refine equipment many times in this semester.
"So what do you feel after watching it?" Shen Xiaojie's eyes flashed.
"There is still a lot to learn." Gao Han said.
Shen Xiaojie touched him and said, "I was asking for details, but you wanted to dismiss me with a sentence saying that there is still more to learn. Everyone in the first grade needs to learn, so just tell me."
"I can't explain the details clearly. I don't know your specific situation." Gao Han said seriously. If he gave casual instructions to his colleagues, he would be suspected of showing off.
Seeing that he really didn't want to talk, Shen Xiaojie curled his lips and said, "Okay."
"What are you talking about over there? If you can't keep your mouth shut, then stand up and speak." Professor Fan shouted in his signature loud voice.
Shen Xiaojie quickly stopped talking, but Professor Fan still stared at him, "What are you looking at? I'm talking about you, Shen Xiaojie!"
Shen Xiaojie's face turned pale. If he had known, he would not have cowered in silence. He stood up and winked at Gao Han for help.
Gao Han frowned.
"Why are you looking at others? I'm asking you." Professor Fan's eyes were always on this side. As soon as he looked at Gao Han, he was discovered.
Shen Xiaojie said hesitantly: "I, I saw you refining a weapon... The professor is very, very powerful..."
"Yes, anyone with eyes knows that I'm refining equipment. I'm very good at it. I was asking you how you feel, and you just said these two sentences to me, even idiots can understand them?" Professor Fan's stern gaze made him unable to escape. "If you had put your thoughts on pleasing the teacher into refining equipment, you might have succeeded. Okay, sit down, Gao Han, you go ahead and tell me."
Shen Xiaojie sat down with red eyes. Gao Han, who was called, didn't know whether he was implicated or Professor Fan wanted to ask him to stand up and speak.
Gao Han stood up helplessly. "The biggest feeling I get from the professor's weapon refining process is that it's smooth and effortless. For example, when using the Lingyun Stone, the common method is to fuse it in the second half. Most weapon masters believe that this can preserve the aura of the weapon, but this idea is actually not advisable..."
Lingyun Stone is a very precious thing. After hundreds of years, Lingyun Stone has been mined to its limit.
No new resources were found, and the original resources were being consumed, gradually causing the Lingyun Stone to become scarce. People then turned their attention to those Lingyun Stones that contained many impurities, some of which could not even be removed.
The effect of Lingyun Stone with impurities is definitely not as good as that without impurities, so some instrument masters have come up with ways to make up for it.
In fact, the spiritual power of the magic weapon does not entirely depend on the spiritual stone. Those weapon masters are actually putting the cart before the horse.
The Lingyun Stone only plays a supporting role. The one who can truly improve the spiritual aura of the magic weapon is actually the weapon master himself.
After Gao Han finished speaking, the classroom fell silent.
"Please sit down." Professor Fan nodded without any extra expression on his face, but everyone could see that he was very satisfied with what Gao Han said, as expected.
"I now finally understand why he didn't come to my class before. With such observation and cognition, it shows that his weapon refining level is not bad. Those previous courses are child's play for him. If he can keep up this level, he can take as much leave as he wants. You can do the same, but the prerequisite is that you are as good as him."
"There is basically nothing wrong with his answer, and it is also the idea I want to convey to you."
"Don't put the cart before the horse when it comes to some things. What is refining a weapon? It may seem like you are refining a weapon, but in fact, you are refining yourselves..."
The class ended with Professor Fan’s enlightening education.
Shen Xiaojie was devastated and hasn't spoken since.
Gao Han didn't say anything either. After class, he was packing up and preparing to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Shen Xiaojie.
"Hey, why didn't you wait for me?" Shen Xiaojie chased after him.
Gao Han turned around and saw a bright smile on his face. He seemed to have forgotten about class. He waited until he ran to him before saying, "I'm going back to the dormitory."
It means we are on different paths.
"What a coincidence! I also want to go back to the dormitory. You are in a single dormitory building, right? Our dormitories might be together. Let's go." Shen Xiaojie said with a smile and reached out to pull Gao Han's arm.
Gao Han was not used to being so close to others, so he dodged his hand and hummed.
Shen Xiaojie didn't mind and said as he walked: "You didn't come to class before, so there is something you must not know. The Refining Academy is going to have an exam."
"What exam?" Gao Han really didn't know.
"You don't really think that only those people in the Magical Instrument Academy need to compete for resources, right? Our Refining Academy also needs it, and it's even more intense than the Magical Instrument Academy because it determines whether we can get more favorable refining materials in the future."
"But our Weapon Refining Academy is different from the Magical Weapon Academy. The number of students in the Weapon Refining Academy is not as many as that in the Magical Weapon Academy. We only need to pass the school's tests to get the corresponding resources. Otherwise, the resources will be reduced."
Shen Xiaojie seemed to know that he knew nothing, so he explained it in detail without Gao Han asking.
"I'm here." Before they knew it, they arrived at Gao Han's dormitory.
"Can I go in and take a look?" Shen Xiaojie suddenly asked, and smiled when he saw him looking at him. "Professor Fan said you are amazing, you must be amazing. I have always admired amazing people, and I want to see if the place they live is the same as ours."
"The same." Gao Han said.
"There must be something different." Shen Xiaojie didn't believe it.
Seeing that he didn't leave, Gao Han opened the dormitory door and took a look at him.
Shen Xiaojie ran in immediately, so fast that Gao Han had no time to stop him.
"Wow, your dormitory is so clean. Unlike ours, it's like a pigsty. Did you clean it yourself? That's impossible. You must have asked an aunt to come and clean it."
Gao Han walked in and heard him babble, "I cleaned it myself, have you finished reading it?"
"You haven't finished watching yet. Don't be so stingy. Let me watch it for a while." Shen Xiaojie walked inside, saw a door, reached out to open it, but was held back by Gao Han.
"This can't be opened." Gao Han looked serious.
Shen Xiaojie was stunned for a moment, "Is it the bedroom? Then I won't look at it. You don't have to be so serious. Do you have any water here? I just came over and talked too much. I'm thirsty."
Gao Han remembered that if he didn't tell him about the exam, he might not know about it until the day before, so he went to pour him a glass of water.
When he came back, he saw Shen Xiaojie lying on his desk and walked over to him. "The water you asked for."
"Okay, thank you." Shen Xiaojie took a sip, put down the cup and said, "I should go now. I won't waste your time. See you in class tomorrow."
Gao Han walked him to the door and came back to pour out the glass of water that he had almost not drunk.
A few days later, the students in the weapon refining class really started talking about the exam.
The exams at the Equipment Refining Academy are different from those at the Magical Equipment Academy. The questions are set by the school, and they are different every year, but the difficulty is almost always higher each time, so there are always complaints.
Gao Han came to class and just sat down when he heard a conversation between two students.
“It would be nice if I knew the test questions in advance.”
"You're crazy. How could they let you know the test questions in advance? Are you planning to steal them?"
"I'm just thinking about it. Even if I know it in advance, I may not be able to pass it. Some of the questions are really abnormal."
"I heard that this year the school has allocated more resources to the weapon refining class than last semester. If we can pass the test, we can get these resources. In previous years, these resources were monopolized by the children of the aristocratic families."
"Forget it, forget it. These are none of our business. We just need to protect our own resources."
The two chatted for a few minutes and then changed the subject.
