Liu Qingfeng's intentions were clear.

He wanted Chen Fan to make his own choice.

Because no matter who taught him, there would come a day when there was nothing left to teach.

Chen Fan's exceptional talent had already destined him to become a top-tier powerhouse, as long as he didn't fall along the way.

So, why not be bold now and let him take control of his own path?

Of course, Liu Qingfeng understood Zhang Qing's thoughts as well.

He wanted Chen Fan to at least follow a Level-5 Instructor, to proceed steadily, step by step.

After all, Hefengjiao's personality was indeed a bit too wild.

Following such an instructor, the student's way of doing things would inevitably be influenced.

Take Bai Xiaoluo and the other three for example, they were constantly testing the limits of danger!

If Chen Fan followed Hefengjiao, who knows, he might just end up getting himself into trouble one day.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingfeng felt a headache coming on.

But everything has two sides.

Although Bai Xiaoluo and the others often courted danger, their growth rate was incredibly fast.

In fact, many instructors at the school envied Hefengjiao.

Though she had few students, each one was a battle-hardened warrior!

And such battle-hardened students had a higher chance of survival.

Because when facing a Soul Beast, it would be a fight to the death!

It was considering this point that Liu Qingfeng made his decision.

He spoke,

"Xiao Zhang, you should understand."

"Flowers in a greenhouse can't withstand the storm."

Zhang Qing understood this principle, but he still wanted to stick to his ideas.

A genius like Chen Fan was just too important.

Seemingly aware of Zhang Qing's thoughts, Liu Qingfeng continued speaking to himself,

"Born in this chaotic world, we are all unfortunate!"

"But fortunately, even if the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up."

"But if one day, the tall ones are gone."

"Should we just let the sky fall?"

At this point, Liu Qingfeng paused.

He sighed and said earnestly to Zhang Qing,

"The time left for us may not be much..."

At this moment, Zhang Qing was moved, as he knew some insider information.

He trembled as he spoke,

"Old Liu, are we...?"

Seeing this, Liu Qingfeng waved his hand and said,

"Things that haven't happened yet, no one can say for sure!"

"But indeed, they are gradually encroaching on the living space of humanity."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Qing no longer insisted.

Indeed, if Chen Fan were to grow step by step, there might not be enough time.

Seeing Zhang Qing relent, Liu Qingfeng smiled and said,

"No need to be so pessimistic!"

"Perhaps this child is our hope!"

Zhang Qing, hearing this, said helplessly,

"He's still too weak after all."

"..."

Once the two reached an agreement, Liu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Chen Fan was recruited by Zhang Qing himself, and now he was also in charge of student education!

So, this matter needed to be discussed with him.

As for how Chen Fan would ultimately choose, that was up to him.

With the most important matter resolved, Liu Qingfeng continued,

"After the freshman competition ends, go meet this child!"

"Give him what was initially promised."

"I, the Old Man, am curious if he will be more troublesome than Xiaoluo!"

"Yes, Old Liu!"

Zhang Qing replied respectfully.

Liu Qingfeng gave Chen Fan one last kindly look before disappearing in a flash.

After Liu Qingfeng left, Zhang Qing sighed.

"Alas, time waits for no one."

"…"

On the other side.

Throughout the day, Chen Fan fought a total of 26 matches and won them all.

His points had reached an astonishing 312.

If it weren't for the lack of opponents, Chen Fan would have wanted to fight another match.

He couldn't help but marvel at how addictive fighting could be!

After leaving the Martial Combat Arena, Chen Fan grabbed a quick bite at the cafeteria and returned to his dormitory.

According to Bai Xiaoluo, tomorrow Chen Fan could exchange for a Soul Stone.

So, Chen Fan was very excited!

Even back in high school, Chen Fan had been looking forward to this day.

...

The night passed without incident.

The next day arrived.

On this day, every freshman's face bore an irrepressible smile.

Because after waiting so long, they could finally exchange for Soul Stones!

Once all the freshmen gathered by class, they headed toward the Southern Zone of the school.

The Southern Zone of the Demon City Martial School was where the school stored various precious resources.

Here, they even had the legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Stone!

Of course, this was all according to Bai Xiaoluo.

When the freshmen arrived at the Southern Zone, they saw a large building.

At this point, Liu Wen, who was leading the group, explained,

"This is the office area for the school's instructors."

"And the place where you will exchange Soul Stones is underground in this building."

"…"

After another ten minutes of walking, the freshmen finally saw a wide underground entrance.

At this time, there were other senior students coming and going.

Seeing the freshmen arrive, the seniors stopped in their tracks.

"Hey, why are there so many freshmen?"

"Are you stupid? They're here to exchange their first Soul Stone!"

"Oh, right... I almost forgot about that."

"Really nostalgic, seeing them reminds me of myself back then!"

"…"

Meanwhile, the freshmen began to enter the underground entrance.

Upon entering, a vast space unfolded before them.

"Wow... this is amazing!"

"It's like an underground city!"

"…"

The freshmen were in awe, while the seniors were unfazed.

Back when they first came here, they were just like these freshmen.

At this point, the class advisors began to speak.

"Everyone, prepare your student cards!"

"Follow the guide signs to find the Soul Stone you need!"

"Remember, it's best to consult the instructor at the counter before exchanging your Soul Stone!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"…"

After the advisors finished explaining the precautions, the freshmen began searching for the Soul Stones they needed.

Here, Soul Stones were divided into many areas based on their type.

And within each area, they were further divided into five counters based on the grade of the Soul Stone.

Behind each counter, there was an instructor.

When students chose their Soul Stones, they could consult the instructors for advice.

Chen Fan headed straight to the Spatial-type Soul Stone Zone.
