Chapter 190 Just Asking
This Lin Feng is really something special. When I first saw him, he just ignored me, even though I’m such a beauty, it was such a blow to my confidence. At first, I had a very bad impression of him, a totally bland person with no taste for fun, not even understanding how to appreciate beauty. What’s the joy of living like that? He was like a clunky piece of wood, utterly devoid of any charm. But before I could react to him, he jumped into a sea full of sharks!
Had I not seen the news that night, I wouldn’t have known he jumped into the sea to save a child. What’s more unbelievable is that he actually knocked out so many sharks. Those are sharks! Killing one is already amazing enough, let alone knocking them out. And it wasn’t just one, but a whole group! If I hadn’t seen that the newcomer identified him, I would never have believed that someone as frail as him could knock out all those sharks!
But the second time I saw Lin Feng, I was stunned by his exceptional linguistic skills. Anyone would be amazed. Lin Feng single-handedly dealt with over a dozen people from all over Yuegang, speaking over a dozen languages, easy as pie. What kind of confidence is that, what kind of talent! It was then that my perception of him completely shifted. Anyone would take a liking to such a genius, for he had the capital to make others envious. The impression Lin Feng left on me was one of absolute astonishment, because I simply couldn’t believe that someone so young could speak 17 languages. There probably isn’t another person like that in the whole world!
When I saw Lin Feng for the third time today at the taekwondo competition, effortlessly defeating Uncle Wang Meng right before my eyes, my heart raced. What he did with those sharks last night... it was all true. He is, in fact, a master. Hence, what happened today.
I remember when Uncle Wang Meng first came to our house, my father just said, "With Uncle Wang Meng here, I can sleep soundly knowing my safety is in good hands." It wasn’t until I was kidnapped and Uncle Wang Meng stormed in alone, rescued me right before everyone’s eyes, and then eliminated the kidnappers, did I realize how formidable he was. But this very man was no match for Lin Feng, didn’t even have a chance to fight back. Which makes you wonder just how formidable Lin Feng must be.
Not only is he a genius who speaks 17 languages, but he’s also a martial arts expert who can easily defeat Uncle Wang Meng. To say he’s skilled in both literature and martial arts without exaggeration, proficient to an extreme in both fields. And he’s so young; his potential is limitless!
Why doesn’t Yuegang have young talents like Lin Feng? He’s so outstanding it fills me with endless envy. To master seventeen languages, what kind of mind does that take? To call him a genius is an understatement. Besides, now he’s also acknowledged as a taekwondo master capable of beating Uncle Wang Meng. In this regard, Lin Feng has transcended the typical definition of a genius to become a genius among geniuses!
Isn’t he the Heaven’s Son I’ve been desperately waiting for? To find him amongst the vast sea of people, there’s simply no one in the entire region of Yuegang who surpasses him. Compassionate enough to risk himself by diving into the sea to save a child, talented enough to speak 17 languages, skilled enough to defeat Uncle Wang Meng without breaking a sweat, and with a character that’s humble and unassuming...
In a word, Lin Feng is too exceptional, so much so that it’s hard to believe someone like him even exists! No matter what, I have to make him my boyfriend, and besides, my father has already agreed to let me choose my own boyfriend. For my own happiness, I will go all out to win him over, use any means necessary to be with Lin Feng forever!
Even though we’ve only met three times, his image is deeply etched in my heart, because everything about him is so excellent. I can’t find anyone to match him. My happiness is my own to decide, and for my future happiness, I must give it my all to pursue him!
Lost in thought, Shen Yao didn’t even realize she had zoned out...
...
"Lin Feng, when did you learn Taekwondo?" On the way back to the hotel, Ding Wan’er couldn’t hold it in any longer and blurted out the question that had been troubling her for a long time, feeling that if she didn’t ask, she would burst with curiosity.
"Yeah, Lin Feng, how come we never knew you were into Taekwondo?" Leng Mei also quickly followed up with Ding Wan’er’s question. She too wanted to know when Lin Feng had learned Taekwondo.
"It’s nothing, I just learned from watching instructional videos." Lin Feng thought seriously for a moment, then gave them his answer.
"What? You learned Taekwondo from watching videos?" When Ding Wan’er heard Lin Feng’s response, her first reaction was that Lin Feng had started spouting nonsense again. If watching videos could teach Taekwondo, why would we need Taekwondo instructors at all? As everyone knows, practicing alone without someone to guide you won’t lead to improvement, let alone being able to defeat a ninth-degree black belt master. That simply can’t be accomplished by watching videos alone.
"You learned Taekwondo from videos and beat a ninth-degree black belt master?" Leng Mei was also perplexed upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. Why was he joking again? If watching videos was so effective, why would many people go to Taekwondo dojos to learn? Everyone could just watch on a computer and they would all be masters. Clearly, Lin Feng’s reasoning was unconvincing, she had worked very hard to reach seventh-degree black belt and couldn’t progress further, so how did he achieve such a high level of skill?
"If you guys don’t believe me, I can’t help it." Lin Feng said helplessly, telling the truth and still not being believed.
"But how can we believe what you said?" Ding Wan’er appeared very aggrieved. Lin Feng’s explanation is something no one would believe, so how could I possibly believe it? I also practice taekwondo, so of course, I know how it should be learned—It must be under the guidance of a master teacher to know how to exert force in order to improve continuously. But Lin Feng’s answer is obviously too incredible.
"You..." Leng Mei didn’t know what to say either. In her memory, Lin Feng had never lied, and whatever he said always turned out to be true. Although what he was saying today seemed incredible, everything about Lin Feng seemed to defy common reasoning. So, it’s possible that he really did learn from watching videos—the idea of learning taekwondo from a video and then beating a black belt ninth dan without allowing them to fight back is something probably only Lin Feng could accomplish!
"There’s nothing else after this, right?" Lin Feng asked casually, trying to change the subject. Dwelling on his own issues was still a bit uncomfortable for him.
Lin Feng indeed learned these things from videos, but what he watched were the moves and techniques of taekwondo. In actuality, what kind of moves and techniques did not matter to him because the old man had already taught him the most basic strength and speed. What remained was nothing more than imitation and rules—it could be said that taekwondo was nothing more than an expression of ability, just like he was equally skilled in Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and any kind of boxing in the world.
To give a simpler example, it’s like an elementary student who only knows addition and subtraction tackling middle school math problems—it’s very hard. But if that student had the knowledge of a university professor, then those middle school problems would feel incredibly simple, basically, they’d know it at a glance. This was Lin Feng’s current state; he could impeccably replicate any martial technique as long as he had observed the moves and rules.
Therefore, taekwondo was even simpler for him. This completely flashy stuff didn’t need learning at all. As long as he watched it once and understood it, that was enough. These moves really weren’t practical. If it weren’t for taekwondo competitions here, Lin Feng wouldn’t even remember having watched taekwondo performances. When real experts spar, they wouldn’t use such flashy but impractical things—just like the special forces soldier said, Sanda is the real deal!
"Yes, after that is the sports exchange meeting. Our Yingbo University didn’t bring such students over. Once we finish the last event, we can return to Tianhai," Ding Wan’er replied to Lin Feng offhandedly, her eyes still fixated on him. She knew Lin Feng was changing the subject. She didn’t want to dwell on his matters either, but she couldn’t help wanting to know why.
"Lin Feng, do you have anything else to do?" Leng Mei was curious why Lin Feng said that. Did Lin Feng have some matter to attend to?
"Nothing much, just asking out of curiosity. I was thinking, since I rarely come to Yuegang, I should buy something for my parents." Lin Feng said very seriously. The name of a shopping paradise was not for nothing. You had to buy something for your family if you come to Yuegang, otherwise, you would not do justice to that plane ticket.
"You!"
"This..."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s reply, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were almost choked. Was that even a reason? Although Yuegang was a shopping paradise, Tianhai basically had everything Yuegang offered and there was no need to buy things specifically here. However, seeing Lin Feng’s expression of seriousness, the two looked at each other and simultaneously chose to remain silent. They truly didn’t understand what was going on in Lin Feng’s head.
After dinner, Lin Feng went back to his room alone and, out of boredom, fired up his computer to play a seemingly simple children’s game of stacking blocks.
This game history was created by his unscrupulous master and when uploaded online, others believed it must have been modified with a cheat, sparking heated debates on the internet. The vast majority of people simply refused to believe someone could be that fast, unless it was a computer. No normal person could react with such an abnormal level of speed, let alone arrange the blocks correctly in such a short time.
He had played many times, always one layer short of the old man’s record, which really frustrated Lin Feng. Today he was determined to break his master’s record—he just couldn’t believe it was impossible to beat it.
If someone were nearby, they would be extremely surprised to see that the shapes on the screen were disappearing almost too fast to catch with the eye. Such speed could indeed only be matched by a computer.
