In the following period, Chen Yi immersed himself in practicing the Wind Control Technique.
Once you enter a state of "calm and stillness," your proficiency will increase every few minutes.
When someone went to the restroom, they passed by this training ground and accidentally discovered that Chen Yi was not practicing the fireball technique. So they secretly ran to tell Lei Mu.
"Teacher, Chen Yi has stopped practicing the fireball technique and started practicing the wind control technique instead."
This person's name is Hou Xiangheng, and he's the kind of person who loves to tattle on others in class.
He was also one of Zhao Manjin's buddies.
During lunch, Zhao Manjin had already told his buddies that they would be at the Talisman Society tomorrow night, and they were looking forward to seeing Chen Yi make a fool of himself.
He thus knew that Zhao Manjin was targeting Chen Yi, so he willingly became a pawn.
You need to know, who is Zhao Manjin?
It's no exaggeration to say that he has a high probability of getting into a top-tier cultivation academy, not to mention that Zhao Manjin's family has connections with the school's board of directors.
Therefore, cultivating a good relationship with Zhao Manjin is also a major matter for Hou Xiangheng.
After all, cultivating immortality is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and worldly affairs... The story of one person attaining enlightenment and all his relatives and friends ascending to heaven is well-known to every household.
"really?"
“Absolutely true! I witnessed it with my own eyes when I went to the restroom!” Hou Xiangheng nodded repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, Lei Mu glanced indifferently in the direction of the training ground where Chen Yi was.
Then, without saying a word, he walked over there.
Seeing this, Hou Xiangheng followed, hoping to see a good show.
It's important to know that Remu had repeatedly emphasized that students must follow his instructions in class.
Anyone who disobeys their master's orders will face his stern face!
When some classmates saw Hou Xiangheng sneaking around behind Lei Mu, they knew there was some juicy gossip to be had.
Many of them were exhausted after training for so long and were planning to rest for a few minutes before continuing. But since they could watch the drama unfold, they couldn't miss it.
Remu did not dismiss the students who were watching the spectacle; instead, he allowed them to follow him.
As a result, within just half a minute, no fewer than ten people had gathered outside the secluded training ground where Chen Yi was located.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Chen Yi was intently trying to comprehend the power of the wind.
Lei Mu stared at it for a few seconds, then said, "Hou Xiangheng, go and spar with him—Fireball!"
"Huh? Me?" Hou Xiangheng was taken aback.
He thought to himself, "Although I am not as good as Zhao Manjin, I am still at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Comparing myself to Chen Yi would be bullying him."
But when he met Remu's solemn face, he didn't dare to refuse and could only walk forward casually.
"Hey, Chen Yi, Lao Lei wants us to spar a bit with his fireball technique," Hou Xiangheng called out.
Chen Yi seemed not to hear, still with his arms outstretched, feeling the wind slip through his fingers.
It wasn't until Hou Xiangheng called out twice more that he realized there were more than a dozen people in the training ground.
If you look closely, Yu Wanbai seems to be there too.
She wasn't usually a gossip, but when she heard it was related to Chen Yi, she came.
Although she didn't have any feelings for Chen Yi, he seemed to have changed since the 100-day countdown rally began today, and even refused her invitation.
This caused her a lot of trouble in class today.
Since Yu Wanbai arrived, Zhao Manjin naturally wouldn't be absent either.
Chen Yi blinked and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Hey buddy, there's a limit to how much you can play dumb! How could such a trick possibly escape Remu's eyes?" Hou Xiangheng said in a low voice.
He thought Chen Yi was pretending not to know what had happened because he was scared, but in reality, he was already thinking about how to make excuses.
In fact, Chen Yi really didn't know.
When he saw that Remus was also there, he knew that this was no small matter.
"You two have a friendly spar," Lei Mu's calm voice came from behind.
In his previous classes, he would often challenge people to practice together.
Generally, one is a negative example, and the other is a positive example.
As for the current situation, it's hard to guess who's on the side of good and who's on the side of evil...
The students who were just watching the drama all shook their heads in regret at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's cultivation level is at the bottom of the class. Now there are still 100 days until the Immortal Examination, and he still ignores the teacher's teachings. Doesn't he deserve it?
"Okay!" Chen Yi nodded, his tone completely flat.
Hou Xiangheng chuckled inwardly. Trying to appear calm, huh?
Soon, the two stood facing each other in the training ground, about five meters apart.
"Three, two, one, go!"
As Remu's voice faded.
A faint red light instantly appeared around the two of them.
Chen Yi conjured a palm-sized fireball in his hand first.
To be fair, he didn't rush to throw it out, but waited for Hou Xiangheng.
The fireball that the latter condensed was the size of a human head, and its formation speed was only one beat slower than Chen Yi's.
This was nothing unusual to everyone, since it's normal for small fireballs to condense quickly.
Zhao Manjin smiled smugly. If it were him, he would have completed the spell at the same time as Chen Yi.
However, the two fireballs were not the same size!
But a strange look flashed in Remu's eyes.
During his previous inspection, Chen Yi was already able to conjure a fireball the size of a human head, but now it was only the size of a palm.
But he knew very well that Chen Yi was not hiding his true abilities, because this palm-sized fireball was more refined than a large fireball.
Inside the arena, a hint of confusion flashed in Hou Xiangheng's eyes.
Why didn't Chen Yi strike first?
Doesn't he know that his only advantage lies here?
"Then I won't hold back either!" Hou Xiangheng roared inwardly.
"call out!"
The next instant, the two simultaneously threw fireballs.
"laugh!!!"
Two fireballs, one large and one small, suddenly collided.
A flash of light appeared.
A scream rang out, and Hou Xiangheng collapsed to the ground, frantically fiddling with his hair.
Just moments before, the two fireballs collided. His fireball scattered, but Chen Yi's fireball remained undeterred and hurtled towards him.
He hurriedly raised his magical power to protect himself, but his long hair was still singed.
That's right, Hou Xiangheng specially grew out his long hair in an ancient style in order to make himself look more like an ancient cultivator.
But now, his long hair has been burned into a mess, and he looks like he's about to cry.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
"......"
The area around the training ground was completely silent.
Yu Wanbai pursed her lips, her eyes filled with admiration.
Even Zhao Manjin, who was full of superiority, was dumbfounded at this moment.
"Fireball Technique...Mastery?"
He already knew the reason.
After all, if they've hired a private instructor for talismans, how could they not have magic skills?
His personal trainer had demonstrated the Great Fireball Technique to him and claimed that if he trained with him for another month, he could do it too.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yi did it, and even earlier than him!
“Everyone, think carefully about the Great Fireball Technique,” Remu said.
"If there's nothing else, can I continue practicing the Wind Control Technique?" Chen Yi asked.
Hou Xiangheng stared at him blankly: "I can overlook the hair, but can you tell me how you did it?"
One must reach the level of Qi Refining Stage 3 and Fireball Technique Stage 8 to achieve this level.
Is he really a genius?
But if he's a genius, then what about his last-place rankings in previous exams? Was he just pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?
The students watching secretly pricked up their ears; they were also very curious about how Chen Yi had managed to do it...
Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly: "It's very simple. Suppose there are ten lotus flowers in front of us, but I only pick one."
"You mean, you can't bite off more than you can chew? You should learn to specialize in one thing?" Hou Xiangheng murmured.
Chen Yi shook his head: "No, it was you who picked nine lotus flowers!"
