Chapter 47 Refusal

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Refusal

In the practice room, unaware of Cao Tong’s attention.

With a calm expression, Chen Feng stood in place, shoulders sunk, elbows drooping, spine taut, feet clenching the ground like tiger claws.

He originally thought visualization would be easy, but now experiencing it firsthand, plus hearing the recent questions from several students.

Only then did he realize it was different from what he had thought.

Visualization, a calm mind...

Recalling what Cao Tong had just said, he suddenly understood some things.

Instantly, his will stirred.

Chen Feng immediately cast away all negative emotions and entered a calm state.

In the blink of an eye, the Red Tiger Visualization Diagram rapidly formed in his mind, all patterns and movements as clear as if magnified, hard to disperse.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this scene, Cao Tong’s gaze shifted.

All doubts in his eyes dissipated, and a smile reappeared on his lips.

"I knew it..."

With a slight nod, he quickly pretended to casually look towards the others.

Truly a fanboy of mine, Cao Tong.

Indeed a remarkable talent.

...

At the same moment.

Just as the visualization succeeded, Chen Feng’s gaze suddenly shifted.

[Flame Tiger Stance: Entry-level (1%) +]

A panel prompt appeared before him, confirming his thoughts.

Initially, standing had not shown any progress, but it only responded after successful visualization.

Clearly, as Cao Tong said, these two are matching practices of the Martial Arts Method, which together constitute the true Flame Tiger Stance.

"Shall I add points to try?"

Looking at the ’+’ sign behind the skill column, Chen Feng had an idea.

But, thinking about the calm brought by his willpower aiding in successful visualization.

He suddenly wanted to see, in a calm state, just how his martial arts talent was, whether it was much stronger.

Moreover, the Breakthrough Point was at hand, ready to add points anytime.

With this thought, Chen Feng continued standing and practicing boxing until noon.

[Progress +1]

[Flame Tiger Stance: Entry-level (2%)]

Sweat dripped down his face like rain, wetting the black short-sleeved shirt clinging to his back.

Chen Feng, expressionless, walked to the window-side open area in the practice room, picked up the sports water bottle, and gulped down several mouthfuls of water.

Gulp!

Gulp!

The coolness spread as the water went down.

Sweat trickled down his cheeks, a hint of helplessness flashing in Chen Feng’s eyes.

This talent, to be honest.

It’s really hopeless.

Only a little progress in a morning, who knows how long it would take to normally cultivate to entry-level.

"It seems, being calm just made me a bit more focused."

"Although it has a little effect on martial arts training, that’s just it."

Thinking this, Chen Feng no longer fantasized, and immediately tried using a bit of Breakthrough.

Buzz!

Suddenly, an insight into Pile Skills emerged in his memory, and the progress in the panel suddenly changed.

[Flame Tiger Stance: Entry-level (22%) +]

"Still not enough."

Raising his eyebrow, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

One use of Breakthrough only increased entry-level progress by 20%, in other words, the remaining two portions wouldn’t be enough for him to break through to the Tiger Form.

"It appears the difficulty of Flame Tiger Stance is indeed substantial."

"Just for entry-level, and it’s hard to imagine how much more Breakthrough is needed beyond the Tiger Form..."

Mulling over in thoughts, Chen Feng suddenly felt an impulse, wanting to immediately enter the Dream World, scour all areas, and find plenty of Breakthrough Light Groups.

"This stance is really too difficult."

Suddenly, Lin Hao came over during a rest period.

His gray loose T-shirt was already soaked, his face flushed red, with sweat continuously dripping down like he just finished a sauna session.

"It’s really killing me, and also that visualization diagram, it’s too mystical."

"I feel like I just wasted five million," Lin Hao said as he hurriedly grabbed his water cup and started gulping down the water. Chen Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Didn’t Coach Cao give you some pointers?"

"Don’t mention it, my Talent is really not cut out for Martial Arts."

"Let me quietly visualize, I just can’t do it at all," Lin Hao said helplessly, finally looking at Chen Feng with a hopeful expression.

"By the way, did you succeed in your visualization?"

"What do you think?"

"Damn! I shouldn’t have asked," Lin Hao said, his face filled with frustration as he continued to gulp down his water.

The two casually chatted, mostly Lin Hao rambling on.

Tap tap!

It was at this moment that footsteps were heard.

The view in front of them darkened slightly as two figures approached.

"Hm?"

Lin Hao stopped drinking water, and Chen Feng also turned to look.

One was tall and thin, standing at about 6’1".

With shaggy hair, a ruddy complexion, phoenix eyes, and appearing to be about twenty-three or twenty-four, he wore a loose white Martial Arts Uniform.

The other was slightly shorter, only by a couple of centimeters, but had a thick back, and his limbs were robust, his athletic short-sleeve shirt stretched tight.

With a buzz cut, his face looked somewhat mature, as if he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Tian."

The shaggy-haired tall and thin one took the initiative to speak, his voice calm with a hint of restraint and pride.

"Pei Yue."

The burly young man next to him nodded slightly, his voice low, standing beside the other and looking toward Chen Feng.

Seeing this, Chen Feng slightly raised his eyebrows.

There was no significant malice in his Perception, but he still sensed a scrutinizing intent.

"What’s up?"

His tone was calm as he asked the two.

"Nothing much, just think you’re pretty good."

Wu Tian smiled and then pointed to other students scattered around resting, looking down.

"In this Core Class, there are many mediocrities, few geniuses."

"I heard about you from an elder in the Martial Arts Hall this morning, your Talent is decent, so I thought I’d spar with you."

His tone was matter-of-fact, without any deliberate concealment.

Chen Feng was slightly surprised but soon thought of the coincidence that he was in Coach Cao’s class and roughly guessed.

"Not interested."

He shook his head slightly and immediately refused.

He had no obligation to spar with the other party, wasting his own time.

"Oh?"

Wu Tian raised his eyebrows, his mouth curling playfully.

"Are you afraid of losing?"

It was a clear attempt to provoke, but Chen Feng wasn’t buying it at all.

"Has anyone ever told you."

His expression calm, he looked into the other’s eyes: "Your methods are very clumsy?"

The atmosphere between the four became momentarily silent after his words.

Lin Hao watched everything with a smile, not joining in, while Pei Yue beside him slightly furrowed his brows, as if wanting to step forward.

"Heh,"

Waving his hand to stop Pei Yue, Wu Tian squinted his eyes and then slowly opened them, before shrugging his shoulders.

"Interesting, I’ll remember you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Pei Yue, almost imperceptibly shaking his head, took a deep look at Chen Feng and also left.

Seeing this, Lin Hao’s smile faded a lot, and he said with an inexplicable tone: "I didn’t expect that in the Core Class, there are also such arrogant people."

Hearing this, Chen Feng’s expression remained calm, just silently watching as Wu Tian and Pei Yue walked away.

In that moment of refusal, he felt a hint of cold malice, tinged with ridicule and irritation.

Not intense, but enough to prove that the other’s character was nothing more.

"It’s okay."

Shaking his head, he spoke calmly, as if responding to Lin Hao: "We have a long time in the Core Class."

"There will be plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson."

Upon saying that, the two exchanged glances.

Eventually, both revealed a faint smile.
