Starforce Warriors-Chapter 413: Never Doubt Master (2)

This was determined by innate potential. White Deer Academy could not change its circumstances without a body-cleansing cultivation technique. Moreover, from Li Xiaofei’s observations and conclusions, it seemed that even in this era, the Great Xia martial lineage lacked techniques that could enhance one’s physical aptitude.

However, the students of White Deer Academy had one clear advantage in their unwavering dedication to martial pursuits. Once their bodies were improved, their cultivation speed would be astonishing.

Li Junjie listened attentively to Li Xiaofei’s explanations while practicing cultivation for a full hour. He quickly mastered the first level of the Yi Jin Jing. Although his understanding of martial theory was not strong, and his aptitude for deep thinking was average, his physical condition was exceptional.

The heart modified by Little Aunt revealed its extraordinary advantage as he practiced the Yi Jin Jing. Many stances were instinctively completed by his body before his brain even caught up. For him, cultivation became as simple as eating and drinking water. Yet he often found himself in a state of knowing the results without understanding the reasons. He could never grasp why techniques that others struggled with felt easy for him after only a brief round of practice.

Thus, Li Xiaofei’s detailed explanations were crucial. When Li Xiaofei broke down many intricate aspects in simple terms, Li Junjie finally had moments of realization.

“That’s all for today,” Li Xiaofei concluded his lesson.

It was the first time he had put so much effort into instructing someone. When he had imparted techniques to Yan Chiyu, Fang Buyi, Bai Qiqi, and others, he had simply handed them annotated manuals without much verbal explanation. Even for the bald-headed group of six, he had mostly relied on the manuals with minimal clarification. And as for the young lady...

After awakening her bloodline, the young lady’s martial talent had become almost terrifying. Cultivating techniques like the Six Meridian Divine Sword and the Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm had only taken her a single glance to master.

But when it came to Li Junjie, Li Xiaofei needed to explain things in detail so that he understood the ‘why’ behind the techniques. Only then could he pass this knowledge on to others. Even previous techniques, such as the Innate Art and various blade, sword, and spear techniques, required the same thorough explanations.

“I’m really wearing myself out for White Deer Academy,” Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but grumble.

The dormitory door opened and the two stepped outside. However, seven beautiful female students, the second-year seven sisters, were standing at the entrance.

“Junior Junjie, it’s time for your lecture. Everyone’s waiting,” Ding Rong, the eldest, said as she grabbed Li Junjie and pulled him away without further ado.

“Ah... Boss, I...” Li Junjie called out, a bit panicked, looking back at Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei smirked mischievously. Summer was coming to an end, but it seemed that spring had just arrived. Unbeknownst to him, his protégé had become highly sought after. This was an unexpected yet delightful turn of events.

Who would have thought that these arrangements would transform a former Red Pole who only knew how to fight with a blade into a university star pursued by campus beauties?

How amusing. Fighting and bloodshed were born of necessity. But enjoying love was the true essence of life. After years of battles within the Cloudy Sky Gang, Li Junjie deserved to experience the best aspects of university life.

“Go, go,” Li Xiaofei said, winking.

One should seize the blooms while they can, lest they be left with bare branches. So, Li Junjie awkwardly followed the girls. Recently, he had become incredibly popular at White Deer Academy. It wasn’t limited to just the Eastern Blue-Robe House, but even students from the other four houses came daily to the training grounds to attend his lectures.

The so-called top freshmen geniuses from those houses initially didn’t accept him, but their attitudes shifted from shock to respect, and now they all respectfully addressed him as Brother Li.

At White Deer Academy now, there was only one Brother Li. And that was Li Junjie.

“Hey, you don’t need to act so deferentially toward Li Xiaofei anymore,” Ding Rong said as they walked. “This is university; everyone is equal. You’re no longer his subordinate.”

“Yeah, you’re destined to soar with your talent and potential. You could become a legend at White Deer Academy, so you need to learn to be independent,” Song Lingge added.

Lin Wan chimed in, “Junior Li, he may have treated you well in the past and even saved your life, but as they say, debts should be clear. There are no slaves in this world. You can be grateful, but you shouldn’t repay that kindness with your dignity or freedom.”

The girls took turns trying to persuade him on their way to the training grounds. Li Junjie stopped walking. He looked at the concerned, beautiful faces before him, his expression more serious than ever.

“You don’t know my past, what the Boss has done, or what his presence means to someone like me. I understand all that. But please, don’t ever say such things again. Once he is my Boss, he is my Boss for life. My life will always belong to him. If he ever needs it, I will give it without hesitation,” Li Junjie said earnestly.

The girls stood frozen in place. For the first time, they heard such resolute, unwavering words from their honest and kind junior.

Li Junjie took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped. He turned back.

“Maybe you won’t believe what I’m saying,” he said. “But I’m really not a genius. I’m not even one-tenth, not even one-hundredth as talented as the Boss. The Boss is the true genius. At least in my mind, not just in White Deer Academy, but across all the universities in Xiajing, no one compares to the Boss. I know you girls mean well, and I hope we can be friends, but please, don’t ever say things like that again.”

With that, Li Junjie strode purposefully toward the training grounds.

The sisters exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

“Sigh, Junior Junjie is just too kind-hearted.”

“Yeah, even now, he’s speaking up for Li Xiaofei.”

“If Li Xiaofei really were such a genius, the headmaster would have fought tooth and nail to recruit him, not treat him as an afterthought.”

“It’s a matter of perspective.”

“Exactly. A dragon raised in a pond will always think the python ruling the pond is the greatest genius. Little does it know that once it leaves the pond and soars into the sky, a casual breath would turn the pond’s python to ashes.”

“Our hatchling is just too kind.”

“Let him figure it out in his own time. One day, he’ll realize that Li Xiaofei and he are worlds apart.”

The sisters soon reached a consensus before quickening their pace and following Li Junjie to the training grounds. The area was already packed with people. Not only were there students from the Eastern Blue-Robe House and the other first-year houses, but there were also upperclassmen from the second and third years, along with a dozen martial arts instructors from various grades.

Wang Xiaofan and Hou Ni, the geniuses of the Eastern Blue-Robe House, were also among the crowd. Li Junjie stood on the stone stage in the center of the assembly. Under the gaze of countless eyes, he calmly cleared his throat and began sharing his insights on cultivating the Innate Art.

Having led thousands of subordinates in the Cloudy Sky Gang, Li Junjie was no stranger to crowds. He was used to commanding respect and addressing large groups without hesitation, so he stood confidently before them.

The Innate Art was White Deer Academy’s treasured foundational technique. In the academy’s heyday, it was considered the premier introduction to advanced martial stages and was known as the foundation of Saints.

Indeed, many Saints had risen through mastering this technique. But this technique had fallen into obscurity in the present.
