I Hijacked The Timeline Chapter 29: I'll Be the One to Destroy Your Dream

Chapter 29: I’ll Be the One to Destroy Your Dream

The next morning, Star City Academy cafeteria.

Feng Qi, Lin Ran, and Mu Qing sat at a table together after picking up their food as usual.

After what happened last night, Mu Qing's att.i.tude towards Feng Qi had clearly changed. She was no longer as resistant as before.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Ran suddenly turned to look at Feng Qi.

"Brother Qi, are you free today?"

"What's wrong?" Feng Qi, whose mouth was full of food, looked up curiously.

"I'm going to the Combat Cla.s.s One for cla.s.s later. If you have time, come and listen. You can point out my shortcomings then."

Looking at the expectant Lin Ran, Feng Qi subconsciously asked,

"What do you plan to teach? Techniques? Spells?"

"After preparing for cla.s.s last night, I decided to teach spells. My understanding of cultivation techniques is shallow, and I'm not as good as the teachers of the academy. I shall not embarra.s.s myself."

"Since you know that what you've learned in the study of cultivation techniques is limited and that you have more achievements in the study of spells, why do you still insist on studying cultivation techniques?" Feng Qi couldn't help but complain.

"It's my dream, and I think I can do it." Lin Ran grinned confidently.

"It's better to specialize than to learn more. I don't approve of your idea," Feng Qi said earnestly, trying to change Lin Ran's thoughts of harming the world.

"Brother Qi, do you mean that I have to focus wholeheartedly on chasing my dreams and give up on spells to succeed?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Hearing these words, Feng Qi was caught off guard and almost choked.

Good lord, your comprehension ability is superb.

If Lin Ran really did that, then he must be responsible for Lin Ran's stupid actions in the future.

"No. I meant for you to focus on the study of spells. Since you don't have the talent for cultivation techniques, you might as well give up early. Besides, spells are also very important. Although cultivation techniques are the core to drive spells, powerful spells can also make up for the shortcomings in cultivation techniques."

"No, a real man should be brave enough to pursue his dreams. I'm still young. I won't turn back until I hit a wall." Lin Ran immediately shook his head in rejection.

"…"

He wouldn't stop Lin Ran from hitting a wall, but the problem was that when Lin Ran hits the wall, he would also be dragging millions of people with him.

"Brother Qi, are you free or not?"

"Yes, I'll come with you after breakfast." Feng Qi nodded.

Since he couldn't change Lin Ran's mind for the time being, he planned to take it step by step. For example, he would first praise Lin Ran's talent in spell research, then belittle his talent in cultivation technique research and use the sense of disparity to make him give up on cultivation techniques.

"Senior Sister, do you have cla.s.s? Come along with us." Lin Ran turned to look at Mu Qing, who was still eating.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly stopped eating. Then, she slowly raised her head. Her mouth was still filled with food, and her expression was stupid and cute.

Looking at the smiling Lin Ran, she turned to Feng Qi.

"Senior Sister, do you have cla.s.s today?" Feng Qi also asked curiously.

"No."

"Then come with us together."

"No, I never go to cla.s.s!" As she spoke, a trace of loneliness appeared in Mu Qing's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Feng Qi keenly caught it.

He suddenly realized why Mu Qing said that.

As an anomaly in the eyes of the students, she was the center of attention wherever she went. No one was willing to interact with her, and she would definitely receive all kinds of strange gazes during cla.s.s. This might be the reason why she was unwilling to attend cla.s.s.

Thinking of this, Feng Qi did not insist.

He could not change the att.i.tude of his cla.s.smates towards Mu Qing now. Forcing Mu Qing to follow him was also a form of torture for her.

"Let's have lunch together then."

With that, Feng Qi picked up his tray and stood up. Lin Ran immediately followed.

After leaving the cafeteria, the two of them arrived at Combat Cla.s.s One.

At this moment, the students were already waiting. When they heard that Junior Lin Ran was teaching this cla.s.s again, the students were filled with antic.i.p.ation.

They had learned a lot from the previous cla.s.s, so when they came to cla.s.s this time, they brought their notebooks and prepared to take down the knowledge points Lin Ran would explain during the lesson in real time.

After entering, Lin Ran walked towards the podium while Feng Qi walked towards the seats.

The moment they saw Feng Qi enter, the students beamed with smiles.

This world was like this. Outstanding talents were always especially respected because they were the pioneers on the difficult path of mankind's fight against domain creatures.

However, the students realized that "Junior Lin Ran" had actually sat down, and another handsome boy who had arrived with him had walked to the podium.

After putting down the textbook he carried with him, he looked at the students below with a bright smile and said,

"h.e.l.lo, everyone. I'm Lin Ran. I'll be teaching the cla.s.s."

Whoos.h.!.+

The students subconsciously looked at Feng Qi, their eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Ran continued,

"I know everyone has a lot of doubts, but I won't go into detail. In short, the person who taught the cla.s.s the last time was Senior Feng Qi, the one sitting in the right corner of the cla.s.sroom. I'm the real Lin Ran.

"Although my abilities can't compare to Senior Feng Qi's, I've made some achievements in the study of spells. Next, I'll explain some of my research results in the study of spells to everyone."

With that, Lin Ran flipped to the first page of his textbook.

At this moment, the students in the cla.s.sroom were still in a state of shock. Although they knew that they had gotten the wrong person, their gazes towards Feng Qi were still filled with curiosity.

They wanted to know who this person was since he wasn't Lin Ran. Why had they never heard of him?

But soon, they were attracted by Lin Ran's content.

"We all know that the release of a spell requires the activation of the Spiritual Qi in one's body to outline the trajectory of the spell outside one's body. Then, the Spiritual Qi will undergo a qualitative change and burst forth with power. However, I've always felt that the steps to release the spell are too complicated. It involves activation and outlining. In short, it's troublesome. For this reason, I've thought over a problem. Can I simplify the steps to release a spell? For this reason, I've developed a simple prototype of a spell. I call it the Seal Style…"

From the complaints in the beginning, Lin Ran's content gradually became professional and he even proposed a very novel concept of casting spells.

Seal Style!

Hearing this, all the students were stunned. They even scolded Lin Ran in their hearts for bragging and being unrealistic.

However, Feng Qi was different. The moment he heard Lin Ran say "Seal Style", he immediately thought of the information he had seen in the database.

Lin Ran's evaluation had focused on introducing the Seal Style he had founded.

He just didn't expect Lin Ran to have already formed the embryonic form of the technique.

Lin Ran's detailed description of the Seal Style caused an uproar among the students in the cla.s.s.

Even Feng Qi was shocked by Lin Ran's content.

Lin Ran proposed a new idea to simplify the steps of releasing a spell. In fact, it was using hand seals to quickly form the trajectory of the spell.

During the lecture, Lin Ran mentioned that he had developed twelve hand seals at this stage. Each hand seal could be combined with other hand seal and every one represented a Spiritual Qi trajectory. For example:

Zi: thumbs overlapping with the left thumb above (Spiritual Qi flows from the Youmen acupoint to the Qi acupoint)

Chou: Right hand horizontal, left hand vertical (Tiantu acupoint to Shuifen acupoint)

Yin: Straighten the thumbs of both hands (Yunmen acupoint to Zhongfu acupoint)

Mao: Pinky straightened, remaining fingers gently clenched into a fist (Tianchi acupoint to Riyue acupoint).

[Chen: Thumbs overlapping, left and right index fingers below (Guanyuan acupoint to Yougu acupoint).]

Si: Five fingers interlocked (Baihui acupoint to Tianzhu acupoint)

Wu: Two elbows extended, two index fingers facing each other to form a triangle (Shengtian acupoint to Qingming acupoint).

Wei: Thumbs pointed upwards and overlapped, left thumb on top (Fengchi acupoint to Shanzhong acupoint)

Shen: Pinky and thumb parallel (Jiuwei acupoint to Shenque acupoint)

You: Retract the index and middle fingers and form a triangle in front of the chest (Qihai acupoint to Guanyuan acupoint)

Xu: Place your right fist in the palm of your left hand (Qugu acupoint to the Qimen acupoint and turns back to the Qugu acupoint)

Hai: Clasp the front of your palms and extend them downwards (Mingmen acupoint to Weilu acupoint)

These 12 hand seals were actually the trajectories of the 12 types of Spiritual Qi movement. With just a gesture, the Spiritual Qi in his body would circulate quickly according to a fixed trajectory.

Different hand seals could be combined, and the process did not need to be triggered by consciousness. It could significantly increase the efficiency of casting spells.

Lin Ran's concept and content stunned the students present. The contempt in their hearts completely turned into admiration.

"He's got it." Looking at Lin Ran, who was still talking non-stop, a smile appeared on Feng Qi's face.

Lin Ran's achievements in spell research were well remembered in history and could not be overshadowed.

If not for the fact that Lin Ran had turned to cultivation technique research for the sake of his dream years after joining the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute, his achievements in the study of spells would have been even more brilliant.

He might even become a historical figure comparable to w.a.n.g Jinsheng.

What he had to do now was to get Lin Ran to focus on studying spells and give up on unrealistic ideas.

"I'll be the one to destroy your dream."
