Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Concession

"Hehe, now there’s going to be a good show! That waste, Chu Feng, is about to get kicked out of the classroom!" Liu Ping used to keep a pretentious and superficially friendly relationship with Chu Feng, all the while secretly scheming against him.

After being countered by Chu Feng a few times in succession, he no longer had the desire to put on an act.

Whenever the opportunity arose, he’d ensure to show no mercy and crush Chu Feng completely.

Especially two days ago, when Prince Liu Mansion, under the pretense of searching for assassins, forcibly barged into the Chu Family’s manor, hoping to destroy them in one swift stroke. Yet, they ended up utterly humiliated.

According to subsequent investigations by Prince Liu Mansion, Sword King Mansion unexpectedly received support from Bloody Beard, which was suspected to be somehow connected to this waste, Chu Feng.

Though no one believed it to be true, the fact remained that Bloody Beard appeared to act as though possessed, backing Sword King Mansion on that day.

The entire class looked at Chu Feng with expressions ranging from sympathy to schadenfreude.

Lin Yuxin’s beautiful and delicate face bore a hint of worry.

She absolutely didn’t think Chu Feng could withstand a single strike from Teacher He.

"Ha, even I, the young duke, couldn’t handle a single sword strike from Teacher He, let alone Chu Feng!" Hong Gang, the son of General Hong and the class’s recognized top martial artist, declared confidently and loudly.

He arrogantly asserted Chu Feng’s inevitable failure, using it to bolster his ’authority.’

Chu Feng stood up calmly and walked straight to the podium.

"Teacher, you have the cultivation of Sword Master Peak, while I am merely a Swordsman. Naturally, I cannot withstand even one of your strikes!"

Having recently grasped the First Level of Sword Intent within the Glazed Sword Technique, Chu Feng felt a certain thrill and wanted to spar with a slightly formidable opponent.

This was his deliberate attempt to provoke Teacher He.

"You insolent brat! Do you think I would use my cultivation to suppress you?"

"For this strike, I won’t use my Sword Master cultivation; I’ll only compete with you using swordsmanship!"

Saying this, he threw his wooden sword to Chu Feng, his gaze flashing with a sudden cold glint.

"Are you ready? I’m about to attack!" Teacher He was exceedingly confident in his swordsmanship. He believed this delinquent, inattentive student would definitely fail to block even one of his strikes.

With this statement, Teacher He launched his attack abruptly.

The sword in his hand moved as if alive, transforming into a fierce venomous snake.

Swish, swish, swish!

Though called a single strike, it comprised multiple sword forms, essentially constituting a single technique. Each thrust carried his reputation—preternaturally precise, deceptive, and nearly impossible to counter.

Bam, bam, bam!

To everyone’s astonishment, Chu Feng, with a casual expression, countered each of Teacher He’s sword forms effortlessly, neutralizing them completely.

This was nothing short of miraculous.

"Again!"

Teacher He’s expression faltered. The strike he delivered with such confidence had been neutralized with ease by Chu Feng.

In front of the entire class, this was akin to being publicly humiliated by a student.

And not just any student—one considered the most useless delinquent in the class.

Delivering another strike, this one dotted with cold stars and illusory trickery, even Hong Gang, the class’s most skilled peer, felt a chill and shuddered upon witnessing it.

Yet, the unthinkable occurred once again. Chu Feng retained his casual demeanor, raised his sword, and effortlessly countered the attack with consecutive slashes.

Calm and composed, he neutralized Teacher He’s second strike entirely.

"This... What kind of swordsmanship is this? It’s so polished, compact, and flawless." Teacher He, unwilling to accept defeat, unleashed another strike—the third blow.

His face revealed not only immense shock but also traces of anger and humiliation.

For the third strike, he poured all his skill into the most powerful swordsmanship technique he could muster.

Bam, bam, bam!

Chu Feng’s sword was omnipresent, once again achieving perfect defense. This was only the First Level of Glazed Sword Technique’s Sword Intent, yet it already demonstrated such incredible power.

If he mastered all nine levels of Sword Intent, who in the world could defeat him?

After successfully blocking Teacher He’s third strike, Chu Feng’s sword fell to the ground naturally. He himself staggered backward, seemingly panicked.

"Thank you, Teacher, for holding back!" A seasoned monster who has lived thousands of years, Chu Feng naturally understood societal niceties like these.

To lose without resentment and to win without arrogance, offering the opponent a graceful exit.

This was the demeanor of a true king.

If he truly humiliated Teacher He in front of the class by completely defeating him and adding insult to injury, he might gain temporary satisfaction but would undoubtedly earn Teacher He’s lasting hatred.

Such a course would be highly disadvantageous to Chu Feng.

It would not align with his long-term interests.

Only inexperienced young brats fresh out in the world would quarrel and act arrogantly.

Chu Feng, as a mature and wise man, naturally understood how to advance and retreat appropriately.

Leave it at that!

"Well done, lad—I didn’t expect you to grasp such a profound Sword Intent! I should correct myself; I’ve misjudged you!"

"Alas, it’s a shame that you don’t possess sword meridians, as your cultivation cannot progress beyond this point. Otherwise, your potential would be unimaginable in the future!"

Teacher He, of course, recognized Chu Feng’s intentional act of humility to let him save face.

All his anger dissipated into thin air.

His gaze toward Chu Feng became notably gentler.

Sword Dao cultivation consists of two main aspects. The hardest part isn’t cultivating progress but rather comprehending Sword Intent.

This is because cultivation can often be advanced through the use of elixirs.

However, comprehending Sword Intent requires exceptional talent and tireless effort, offering no shortcuts.

For Chu Feng to grasp the First Level of Glazed Sword Technique’s Sword Intent in such a short time, his talent and intuition were extraordinary.

The only unfortunate aspect was his lack of sword meridians, which limited his cultivation growth.

Without cultivation backing even the most profound Sword Intent, it would amount to nothing more than showy, ineffective techniques.

"Chu Feng, go back to your seat. From now on, you can freely cultivate during my classes." Teacher He, true to his word, warmly invited Chu Feng to return to his seat.

Instantly, Chu Feng earned a flood of admiring and envious gazes.

The class beauty Lin Yuxin’s gaze toward him sparkled brightly, and a charming, gentle smile graced her countenance.

Even a few girls who had never even spared a glance at Chu Feng before favored him with amicable smiles. Recently, Chu Feng’s performance had indeed been outstanding.

Be it in alchemy or Sword Dao cultivation.

The class’s acknowledged top martial artist—Hong Gang—hung his head and remained silent. His arrogant prediction of Chu Feng’s certain defeat had been spectacularly proven wrong, leaving him utterly humiliated.

He deserved the slap he gave himself.

Liu Ping’s expression darkened ominously, his gaze toward Chu Feng radiating frosty hostility.

"Damn it... When did this waste become so powerful? To have grasped such profound Sword Intent and earned Teacher He’s high praise on top of it!"

"Thankfully, this waste doesn’t have sword meridians; otherwise, he truly might rise to power someday. In due time, he could become a significant threat to Prince Liu Mansion."

Liu Ping consoled himself internally.

If he learned that Chu Feng possessed a Fake Sword Vein and had already resolved his slow cultivation issue, he might lose sleep entirely.

Even as it stood, Liu Ping resolved to find a way to eliminate Chu Feng as quickly as possible.
