CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: GRAFFITI

Following Wang Dashan, Ling Feng arrived at a cool tunnel behind the Ninth Middle School.

This tunnel led to a refuge, which would open immediately if the Outer Ring City was invaded by the Alien Race, allowing the people to find shelter inside.

Wang Dashan, as the principal of the Ninth Middle School, possessed unfathomable strength and seemingly high authority, allowing him to move freely through the Star Realm and access the refuge at will.

Walking inside the tunnel, he said, "Normally, no one is here, so you won’t be disturbed while you train. I know young people like you prefer to be unique. Perhaps Mr. Yang and Mr. Hong have some misunderstandings about you, but I don’t believe someone who can cultivate the Basic Spear Technique to the level of transformation would have issues with their cultivation attitude.

So, you don’t have to be tense here. Do whatever you want. I won’t restrict you, but you must remember that the end-of-term exam results are especially important, and you have to find ways to enhance your strength no matter what.

I don’t mind telling you, as far as I know, the First Middle School, Third Middle School, Zhengxing, and Li Ren all have Elemental Martial Artists, but their methods are secretive. Their identities are well-protected, especially the Elemental Martial Artists from Zhengxing and Li Ren. Even I know very little about them, but one thing is certain—they all have awakened potential.

In the entire Outer Ring City, you are the only person of your age to become an Elemental Martial Artist through skill transformation.

In the long run, skill transformation can create lasting value for humanity, but if you’re talking about combat power, it might be difficult to defeat those Elemental Martial Artists with awakened potential.

I think you experienced it last night."

Wang Dashan’s voice echoed within the tunnel.

"The hidden power truly is extraordinary."

Ling Feng nodded in agreement.

Ye Xuan’s speed potential, "Electric Sparks," was indeed superior to his.

However, what Wang Dashan referred to was the Zhengxing High School in the Outer Ring City, not the high school in the Inner Ring City where Ye Xuan was, but both schools were part of the same system.

It just so happened that the academies were established in both the Inner and Outer Ring Cities.

This indirectly showed that Zhengxing High School was strong enough in the South City.

"Let’s train here then. You demonstrate the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms a few times, and I’ll try to give you a few pointers."

Wang Dashan appeared humble.

"Yes."

Ling Feng complied honestly.

He practiced the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms inside the tunnel, and with the boost from his Coasting Along Value, this spear technique had already become the Intermediate Spear Skill Thirteen Forms and reached a skilled level.

Wang Dashan, as an experienced master, could see at a glance that Ling Feng’s spear technique had undergone a genuine transformation and that his control over this power had become quite adept.

With a bit of guidance and diligent practice, by the end-of-term exam, his control over this power should progress from skilled to mastery.

At that time, through the value reflected in this skill, plus some of his personal operations and Marquis Zhuge’s help, Ling Feng obtaining the Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University would be a certainty.

The resource subsidy from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to the Ninth Middle School would also rise to a higher level.

As the principal of the Ninth Middle School, Wang Dashan rarely appeared not to be mysterious or irresponsible, but because he was often at the front lines or the Great Radiation Zone slaying alien creatures, hoping to exchange his meritorious points for more resource subsidies for the school.

Whenever he saw students unable to become entry-level martial artists before eighteen due to a lack of resources and having to go to the front lines to fight, Wang Dashan felt very pained inside.

Seeing a promising student now, who might change the school’s environment through Ling Feng, Wang Dashan was reluctant to let go easily.

So he focused entirely on watching Ling Feng display the Intermediate Spear Skill Thirteen Forms repeatedly, slowly trying to find corresponding flaws within the spear skills, understanding how to enhance Ling Feng’s spear skill techniques.

At this moment.

Ling Feng stopped practicing the spear technique.

"Why did you stop? Keep practicing. I’ve already found some issues."

Wang Dashan urged.

"I’m too tired, Principal. I need a break. Is there any water here? I’m very thirsty."

Ling Feng wiped his sweat.

According to the Coasting Along principle, the spear technique should only be practiced three times at most before taking a break. He couldn’t exceed this number, or else today’s Coasting Along Value would be wasted.

"Tired, thirsty?"

Wang Dashan was a bit puzzled. Even though Ling Feng’s physical fitness hadn’t reached 1, it shouldn’t be so tiring to practice a few rounds of spear technique!

"Could you find me some water to drink?"

Ling Feng pleaded.

"I’ll have someone bring water."

Wang Dashan activated his bracelet, ready to notify the caretaker.

"Principal, didn’t you say my information must be protected?"

Ling Feng reminded.

"You want me to go outside myself to get it?"

Wang Dashan frowned.

"Or maybe, I’ll go myself."

Ling Feng placed the long spear inside the tunnel and turned to walk outside.

"You stay here. I’ll get you some nutrient water."

Wang Dashan stopped Ling Feng. For some reason, as he watched Ling Feng turn and leave, he felt that once Ling Feng stepped outside, he wouldn’t return.

"Thank you, Principal."

Ling Feng’s face lit up with joy.

To avoid wasting time, Wang Dashan left quickly and returned just as fast.

He came back carrying two cases of nutrient water, 24 bottles per case, enough for Ling Feng to drink for several days.

But when he returned, Ling Feng was nowhere to be seen inside the tunnel.

He wasn’t wrong; when Ling Feng turned to leave, he felt as though Ling Feng wouldn’t return after leaving, and indeed Ling Feng left and didn’t come back.

"Alas!"

"For humanity, for the Ninth Middle School, Principal, I’m also forced into this. If I really were to train according to your method, not to mention getting the Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University, even passing the entrance exam would be difficult."

Ling Feng ran all the way to the school gate and bought two buckets of graffiti paint.

Since entering the tunnel, Ling Feng’s mind had been filled with graffiti ideas.

He knew, according to the Coasting Along Fate’s requirement, if he encountered something he liked and found relaxing and didn’t do it, it would affect his Coasting Along Value gains.

But if he pursued it to the end, his Coasting Along Value would be substantial, especially when training with Wang Dashan.

So when Wang Dashan tried to contact Ling Feng through his bracelet, Ling Feng was hurrying back to school carrying two buckets of paint.

"Tell me your ideas slowly when the time comes, and I’ll find someone to paint your ideas on the tunnel."

Wang Dashan, upon learning that Ling Feng wanted to graffiti the tunnel, suppressed his anger and said.

"No, Principal, some things are beyond words. My mind is filled with spear technique curves right now. I have to record them, or I feel like they’ll disappear at any moment."

Ling Feng held his head.

"What? This... I’ll assist you with the materials."

Wang Dashan paused, then said excitedly, mistakenly thinking Ling Feng had new insights into the spear technique. He quickly opened the two buckets of paint, eagerly handing the brush to Ling Feng.
