Chapter 1249 - 1247: Investigation
The trip back went smoothly, but Ding Wan’er had a headache in the car, constantly checking the latest news on her phone. She just couldn’t believe that Leng Mei’s student could achieve such results, and with the lack of details available, all she could do was fret in the car, wishing the car would hurry back to Yingbo University.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Yingbo University, only to see many reporters gathered at the gate. With Lin Feng’s help, they were able to avoid the press as if invisible, and easily made their way into Leng Mei’s office.
"Sister Leng, please tell me, what exactly happened?" Ding Wan’er asked anxiously as soon as she entered the office. The university was her life’s work, and she really didn’t want anything bad to happen to it. Lin Feng stood by Ding Wan’er’s side, not saying a word, waiting for Leng Mei to explain the situation.
"This matter is truly bizarre. A few days ago, during the foreign language proficiency exam, for some reason, even the students who usually perform well couldn’t pass. It’s normal for one or two students to fail, but when hundreds of students from several examination rooms fail, it’s suspicious and warrants investigation."
Seeing Ding Wan’er so anxious, Leng Mei quickly explained the situation. To tell the truth, she didn’t understand what had happened either; all she could do now was wait for Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng to figure out a solution.
Hearing this from Leng Mei, Ding Wan’er was also stunned. Such an incident occurring during an exam seemed utterly impossible, but she didn’t blame Leng Mei, knowing that she wouldn’t joke about such a matter. However, neither she nor Leng Mei could make sense of it all yet.
After digesting Leng Mei’s explanation, Lin Feng frowned as well, certain that something abnormal had happened, something unnoticed by others. After carefully contemplating, he couldn’t come up with a solution and felt a thorough investigation was necessary to understand the circumstances.
"Here’s what we’ll do: you two go handle the reporters for now, just say it was a teaching mishap. I’ll check things out, and if I find anything, I’ll let you know immediately." Seeing the two women so worried, this was Lin Feng’s plan for the moment. The press outside needed to be dealt with, so he left it to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, confident that if he discovered the root cause, they could turn the situation around.
The two women nodded when Lin Feng said this; they had no better plan. Right now, they could only follow Lin Feng’s suggestion, believing that if Lin Feng found the reason, the issue could be resolved. It wasn’t viable to keep dragging their feet.
After agreeing on their strategy, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei went off to deal with the reporters, while Lin Feng quietly left the office and headed to the language school’s academic building, where language exams were typically held, to ask around.
Lin Feng was well-known in the school, recognized by everyone, so he quickly found a teacher who had proctored the exam.
"What happened during the exam? Can you tell me about it?" Lin Feng asked the teacher straightforwardly.
The proctor didn’t think much and responded to Lin Feng, "Nothing out of the ordinary at first. But then, the students stopped answering the questions. It was strange because they usually performed well and shouldn’t have struggled with those questions. Yet, inexplicably, they didn’t write any answers during the exam. I really don’t understand what happened."
Hearing the proctor say this, Lin Feng’s frown deepened. There was no useful information to be gleaned, but he knew further questioning would be fruitless. After greeting the proctor, he left.
With no leads, it was pointless to waste time here. It might be better to return to the kids’ area; perhaps he would find some clues there. With that thought, Lin Feng went back to the forest area.
However, upon entering the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation, he immediately sensed something was off. In his absence, the concentration of Spiritual Energy had increased significantly, now several times higher than in the Hidden World. If this continued, the Formation wouldn’t be able to control such an abundance of Spiritual Energy.
In the blink of an eye, he was at the training ground. The kids were still training relentlessly. Pleased with their progress, Lin Feng nodded approvingly. After a quick scan with his Divine Sense, he felt that the situation with the special class students was stable, and no unusual circumstances had arisen, which completely set his mind at ease.
"Teacher Lin is back!"
Just then, one of the kids suddenly noticed Lin Feng’s return and exclaimed, instantly causing all the kids and the special class students to cheer, rushing towards him. Xia Lalan, watching from the side, smiled and slowly walked toward Lin Feng.
"Teacher Lin, you’ve been gone for so many days!"
"We missed you!"
"Teacher Lin, I’ve had a breakthrough too!"
"Teacher Lin, when will the special class problems be completely resolved?"
...
The children and the students from the special class now surrounded Lin Feng, chattering away. It had been many days since they last saw Lin Feng, and they truly missed him. Hearing the voices of the children, Old Monster and others also came over. Seeing Lin Feng, smiles appeared on their faces. Lin Feng was their pillar of strength; with him around, they all felt exceptionally good.
Seeing everyone gathering around, Lin Feng wore a smile on his face and said to them, "It was only a short while that I was away; no need for such a fuss. Let’s find a place and chat at leisure."
After saying that, he took everyone to an open space in the training ground and started chatting with them casually, delighting the children. The students from the special class listened with awe, never expecting that so many events could unfold during Lin Feng’s trip to Europe.
Old Monster and the others didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary since they were used to extraordinary events happening around Lin Feng. However, Xia Lalan suddenly remembered something – the Spiritual Energy here was extremely dense, excessively so. She didn’t understand why, and since Lin Feng was back, she took the opportunity to ask, "Lin Feng, the Spiritual Energy here is too dense. Look at this..."
Xia Lalan’s concerns were straightforward; she was worried that the high concentration of Spiritual Energy couldn’t be contained. If it leaked out and was discovered by Loose Cultivators, then this place might not remain peaceful.
"I’ve noticed this issue," Lin Feng responded. "I will think of a way to suppress it later, or even this Formation won’t be able to gather such a rich amount of Spiritual Energy. It’s a pity that without some special spatial materials, I could have turned this place into an existence similar to the Hidden World."
Hearing Xia Lalan’s words, Lin Feng already understood her meaning and interrupted her. It’s hard to make bricks without straw; even if he knew how to construct small worlds, it wouldn’t be feasible without the materials, leaving the excess Spiritual Energy to go to waste.
Upon these words, everyone present was utterly astounded...
"This... How is it possible to establish a new Hidden World..."
"My goodness, Teacher Lin, you actually know how to do this..."
"Teacher Lin, you are too impressive, even capable of this..."
...
At this moment, the children were at a loss for words. They all knew that Lin Feng was a super-powerhouse in the Human Immortal Realm, but even so, they never imagined Lin Feng could construct a small world like the Hidden World. They thought it impossible; the Hidden World was created by the towering figures of the ancient Immortal Realm, and since then, no one had been able to set one up. Now that Teacher Lin said it was possible, who could believe it was true!
But they all knew Lin Feng well, aware that he never exaggerated. The thought that the Teacher Lin before them could arrange a small world sent the children into ecstatic joy. Having such a super-powerhouse as a teacher, they were simply too fortunate; their happiness knew no bounds!
Old Monster and the others shared similar feelings to the children. Looking at Lin Feng, they were at a loss for words. Opening up a small world, conjuring an entire space from nothing—if one didn’t know the methods of arrangement, even supreme strength would be useless. And now Lin Feng was saying he could do it; this was truly unbelievable, something not even an Immortal could achieve...
Meanwhile, Xia Lalan was completely dumbfounded, staring at Lin Feng with her mouth agape, unable to believe her ears. The task of building a small world, something that had been impossible since the establishment of the Hidden World, was now claimed to be feasible by Lin Feng. Not just her, but likely no one would believe it, because it was simply an impossibility...
Lin Feng, seeing the varied expressions of the crowd, understood what they were thinking and immediately explained, "Actually, there’s no need to be so surprised. Setting up a Formation isn’t difficult, but without the special spatial materials, even if you know how to set up Formations, it can’t be done. So, this matter will have to be shelved."
In truth, Lin Feng wished to construct a small world akin to the Hidden World, to not waste such dense Spiritual Energy. However, without the raw materials, he had no way to proceed and instead had to think of other methods to suppress the Spiritual Energy.
Upon hearing Lin Feng speak thus, everyone on the side also felt great regret. If Lin Feng could truly construct a small world right now, they all wanted to witness such a miraculous scene. But for the time being, the matter had to be put aside. Just as Lin Feng had said, without the raw materials, it was impossible for anyone, so they had to abandon this idea.
Seeing that everyone understood him, Lin Feng nodded and then remembered the incidents that had occurred on campus before. He turned to Old Monster and asked, "Senior, in the past few days, have there been any cultivators causing trouble at the school?"
Lin Feng was now starting to suspect that cultivators were behind the previous incidents. With this in mind, he immediately asked Old Monster to confirm his suspicion.
