As a cultivator, keeping face was important but it wasn’t always the way it seemed. Lin Feng had been asked to leave for failing the test but he hadn’t. Everybody was looking at Lin Feng in a strange way. Even if some people found him ridiculous and thought that he was humiliating himself, Lin Feng kept smiling and asked for a second chance. That smile showed that he didn’t care about the fact that he was losing face by requesting a second attempt.
However, the teacher understood that Lin Feng wasn’t acting this way because he didn’t care about dignity. On the contrary, Lin Feng was stubborn and only stubborn people persevered and never gave up.
The crowd was surprised. The teacher had suddenly accepted and gave Lin Feng a second chance. On top of that, the teacher’s voice sounded like he really had faith in Lin Feng’s future due to his stubborn beliefs.
“Thank you very much, teacher.” said Lin Feng while nodding his head. Lin Feng had a good impression of the teacher. He seemed friendly and easy to approach. Besides, he didn’t look arrogant at all.
“I’m going to start playing the zither again, this time you are the only one who is going to listen to it.” said the teacher indifferently. Immediately, he started playing again. However just as he said, the crowd couldn’t hear the music at all. The teacher could surprisingly control the flow of his music to make it audible to only the people whom he selected.
“How strong.” thought the crowd stupefied. The teacher had never displayed such a masterful control in front of them before. At that moment, Lin Feng had the feeling that the melody was a river flowing into his ears. He could already feel that his eyes were starting to feel heavy under the hypnosis. He focused his entire attention on the music and tried to abandon himself to the illusion. He could feel himself slowly drifting into the illusion with each passing moment.
However, something strange was happening.
“How cruel… if my celestial spirit remains like this then I will not be able to fall into the illusion.” thought Lin Feng. A cold Qi had invaded into Lin Feng’s body and he no longer was affected by illusion and the music had no power over him. Everything around him was extremely clear and calm, his eyes were wide open.
Even though the melody was the same as before, his eyes remained wide open and were staring at the teaching playing the zither.
“Huh?” the teacher was astonished when he saw that Lin Feng was surprisingly not falling asleep and was not struggling to stay awake in the slightest. He suddenly started playing a completely different tune. This time the rhythm was faster and the power was much greater. However, Lin Feng’s eyes were wide open as before.
