Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 997 - 995: Is This What You Call a Genius?

"For instance," Teacher Lin began to personally instruct Jianping, "when the opponent attacks, you can do this..."

"Take for example..."

...

Lin Feng began teaching Jianping hand by hand, with very common moves. No one could see anything special in them, but these techniques were Lin Feng’s own conclusions from past experiences, the effects of which were unimaginable to the ordinary person. Moreover, Lin Feng chose content specifically for Jianping. It could be said that if Jianping could grasp fifty percent of it, defeating Jianwu would not be a problem.

The others present were puzzled. In front of everyone, Lin Feng explained each move in detail, but no one could spot any difference. They couldn’t believe that these few moves could suddenly make Jianping much more formidable. Are you kidding?

Others didn’t understand, but Jianping now was utterly engrossed in learning from Lin Feng. He had felt it, the lessons from Lin Feng were miraculous. Through these simple maneuvers, some areas he previously didn’t understand and felt awkward about became unbelievably clear to him. He even felt his combat abilities enhancing dramatically!

Feeling this change, Jianping’s heart surged with joy. Whatever Lin Feng taught, he learned—and he learned very earnestly, always contemplating the variations in the moves. Even if slow-witted, he understood that this new Teacher Lin sincerely wished well for him, so he didn’t want to waste even a bit of time.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had finished teaching. To his satisfaction, Jianping’s comprehension was quite good, understanding his intentions completely. It could be said that with enough cultivation resources, Jianping would definitely surpass Jianwu. What came next would surely astonish everyone...

"Okay, try fighting one more time!" Lin Feng said quietly to Jianwu, then he signaled to Jianping with a glance, hinting for a rematch with Jianwu. He wanted to use this change to shut Jianwu’s mouth and let these young ones understand that so-called geniuses were nothing special.

"Let’s fight then!" Jianwu, having heard Lin Feng’s words, regained his senses. He had clearly seen the moves Lin Feng taught Jianping, so simple to think of turning the tables was impossible. After defeating Jianping, he wanted to see what else Lin Feng could say.

After he spoke, he immediately charged at Jianping again, his punch as fierce as ever, with sharp fist wind aimed at Jianping, even faster than before. He was genuinely angry now, not believing this new Teacher Lin could turn Jianping around with just a few moves—only he was the true genius!

At that moment, Jianping, seeing Jianwu striking towards him, reacted differently than the first time. Without any evasion, for some reason his mind was filled entirely with Lin Feng’s words and what Lin Feng had taught him. He seemed to enter an unusual state; Jianwu’s moves seemed to slow down, allowing him to clearly see Jianwu’s final target—his left chest. It was an amazing feeling!

What’s wrong with this kid?

Did Jianwu scare him silly?

Why isn’t he dodging and just standing there...

...

At this moment, all the young ones present were filled with doubts, wondering what was wrong with Jianping—at a time like this, one must dodge! If he got hit, wouldn’t he be injured again, or had Jianping been scared silly by that move?

Perfect!

Seeing Jianping in this state, Lin Feng nodded subtly, obviously understanding why Jianping hadn’t dodged and mentally assessing that he was indeed impressive.

Now is the moment!

As quick as it is to speak, just as Jianwu’s attack was about to reach Jianping, Jianping’s body suddenly moved, astoundingly dodging Jianwu’s attack. It was unthinkable, as Jianwu was a level higher than Jianping; normally, such a thing should not happen!

In an instant, all the young ones stood stunned, even the assistant trainers were dumbfounded at this moment. None could comprehend how Jianping had managed it, as it all seemed so incredible—about to be hit and yet he dodged... Is this still Jianping?

But before they could express their thoughts, something even more unbelievable happened...

They saw Jianping dodging and without continuing to evade; instead, he moved closer to Jianwu while he was unresponsive. As he got closer, his hand suddenly lifted and, taking advantage of Jianwu’s lack of reaction, he slapped him right across the face!

"Smack!"

A crisp sound followed, and then like a butterfly, Jianping fluttered away from Jianwu to a safe distance.

How is this possible!

Is this real or fake!

...

At that moment, the teaching assistants and children on the scene were all stunned. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing was real. How could this be possible? Xia Jianwu was a level above Xia Jianping, and Xia Jianwu was the most formidable in the junior group. No one had ever managed to hit Xia Jianwu before—this was truly unbelievable!

Everyone simultaneously looked towards Lin Feng. After Lin Feng had taught a few simple moves, Xia Jianping seemed to have transformed into a completely different person. Incredibly, he slapped Xia Jianwu, baffling everyone with how miraculous those moves Lin Feng taught could be!

I hit Xia Jianwu?

Xia Jianping looked at his own hands, unable to believe this was real. He had never dreamed he could hit Xia Jianwu! His gaze turned towards Lin Feng, filled with fervor. Merely teaching a few moves had such an effect; this showed how formidable Lin Feng was. He instantly resolved to follow and cultivate under Lin Feng, almost seeing himself becoming a true expert under Lin Feng’s guidance...

At this time, Lin Feng appeared as if everything was meant to happen this way. During the teaching process, he had already helped Xia Jianping integrate some difficult concepts. Since the power difference between the two children wasn’t too great, such an outcome was normal. He wanted to let Xia Jianwu understand that a higher cultivation level does not necessarily mean better combat abilities. He also wished to teach Xia Jianwu what a so-called genius truly looks like. If Xia Jianping, who was ranked lower, could defeat him, what kind of genius was Xia Jianwu? It was good to knock Xia Jianwu’s ego down a peg...

"You... you’re asking for it!" Xia Jianwu, feeling the stinging on his face, was dumbfounded for a moment. He couldn’t believe that he had been slapped in front of everyone by Xia Jianping—how humiliating! Immediately, he exploded like a volcanic eruption, roaring loudly and charging at Xia Jianping, with only one thought in his mind: he must beat Xia Jianping...

"Huh!"

A blast of wind passed as a punch, swift as a tiger pouncing, aimed at Xia Jianping’s chest. The punch hadn’t yet reached him, but the wind from it had, even whipping up a cloud of dust from the ground! Yet, even in his rage, he was careful not to underestimate Xia Jianping, watching him intensely to prevent another hit.

Not good!

At that moment, Xia Jianping snapped back from his daze and saw the ferocity in Xia Jianwu. He dodged immediately, and unlike before, his evasion was slightly frantic, yet he narrowly escaped Xia Jianwu’s attack.

"I want to see where you can run!"

"Huh!"

"I told you to run!"

"Huh!"

...

Xia Jianwu attacked like a tempest, yet still to no avail. After the initial chaotic dodge, Xia Jianping quickly regained his composure and re-entered that miraculous state he had been in before, facing Xia Jianwu’s storm-like attacks with remarkable calm, dodging all subsequent strikes!

My God!

Is this really Xia Jianping?

...

The other children present were all shocked by Xia Jianping’s performance. No one had ever lasted more than a few moves against Xia Jianwu, yet Xia Jianping had completely dodged his fierce attacks—this was too unbelievable. Was this really Xia Jianping? If it had been any of them, they probably would have been knocked down in less than two moves. When had Xia Jianping become so powerful...

Lin Feng, seeing this was enough, blurred into view between the two children. The goal had been achieved; there was no need for the children to continue competing.

"This so-called genius of yours is nothing special!" Lin Feng said indifferently, wanting Xia Jianwu to understand his intention.

"This... this..." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Jianwu was at a loss for words, his face flushing as he stood frozen in place. Being publicly slapped by the lower-ranked Xia Jianping and then dodging all his attacks was humiliating. How could he continue to call himself a genius...

"This matter ends here. Everything will proceed as I have said. The winner will get the Elixir. Those who want to win the Elixir must put in the effort." Ignoring Xia Jianwu, Lin Feng went on to arrange activities for the other children, wanting to make them understand certain principles and to swiftly enhance their capabilities!

"Teacher Lin, this can’t be done. The training might have been set by Xia Lalan before she left, and in a few months, the junior group is supposed to represent the Xia Family in the once-in-a-decade Great Tournament among the four Prominent Families of the Hidden World. What if these children get hurt? There are Demon Beasts in this forest that the children can’t handle. If something dangerous happens, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Yes, Teacher Lin..."

The two assistants, hearing Lin Feng was actually going to let these children enter the forest, immediately panicked and started trying to persuade Lin Feng to reconsider. This forest was too dangerous. If they really encountered those fierce Demon Beasts, the consequences were indeed frightful!

But just as they had finished speaking, they heard Lin Feng’s unwavering voice...
