Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Anxious Lin Yu First Year, Class (5).
Second period, academics.
The teacher was at the lectern, lecturing nonstop, spit flying from his mouth.
The other students were all diligently taking class notes.
They didn’t need to worry about the Martial Arts exam.
So, they weren’t like the third-year students,
who were allowed to stop attending class.
Besides, they had just started high school, so every student was extremely diligent.
However, Lin Yu just sat there, his eyes glazed over.
He had been in this state since morning.
He had no mind for the lecture at all; it was as if he’d left his brain at home.
He couldn’t concentrate whatsoever.
His thoughts kept drifting back to what had happened this morning.
"Lin Yu, are you not feeling well?"
Suddenly, his deskmate, a girl with glasses, gave him a strange look.
"Huh? No!"
Lin Yu snapped back to reality and quickly shook his head.
The girl glanced at him and lowered her voice. "You’ve been like this since this morning, completely unable to focus. If you’re not feeling well, you should tell the teacher and ask to go home and rest..."
"No, I’m perfectly fine!"
Lin Yu cut her off before she could finish.
Seeing that Lin Yu didn’t appreciate her concern, the girl pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Left in peace for a moment, Lin Yu’s thoughts began to churn again.
He just couldn’t figure it out. How on earth did Lin Yi manage to reach the 1-star realm?
Normally, Lin Yi was unassuming and practically invisible at home.
He didn’t take supplements, much less go to a Martial Arts Hall.
’Could he really have broken through to the 1-star realm just by relying on the school’s Martial Arts classes?’
’If that’s true, isn’t his Martial Arts talent just too high?’
’Reaching 1-star so easily, without any external help?’
A cold sweat broke out on Lin Yu’s back.
’If all the resources I currently have were given to Lin Yi instead... if he was the one drinking supplements and going to the Martial Arts Hall... Lin Yi’s growth would probably be even more terrifying.’
Lin Yu’s brow was deeply furrowed, his expression growing even more grim.
To him, Lin Yi’s terrifying talent was now a threat.
’What if Lin Dazhi finds out about this?’
’Would he give up on me and transfer everything I have over to Lin Yi?’
"No... I absolutely cannot let that happen!"
Lin Yu muttered, his face dark.
The words had just left his mouth when his deskmate glanced at him.
"What did you just say? What can’t happen?"
Lin Yu jumped, glancing back at his deskmate. Thankfully, he hadn’t spoken very loudly.
He hadn’t disturbed anyone else.
"It’s nothing..." Lin Yu shook his head.
The girl shot him a resentful look, muttered "Weirdo," and ignored him from then on.
...
The morning classes came to an end.
Their homeroom teacher, Liu Song, gave Lin Yi the address of the Martial Arts Hall.
"New Star Martial Arts Hall?"
When Lin Yi saw the name of the Martial Arts Hall, he said it aloud, slightly surprised.
’If I remember correctly, isn’t this the Martial Arts Hall Lin Yu goes to?’
Liu Song glanced at Lin Yi. "What, you know of this Martial Arts Hall?"
"Teacher Liu, the New Star Martial Arts Hall is one of the best in our Xinghai City. Who hasn’t heard of it?" Lin Yi replied with a light chuckle.
