Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along
Chapter 67: I Really Need to Change
CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 67: I REALLY NEED TO CHANGE
Wang Dashan is quite old, having seen many storms in his life.
But he was still startled by Ling Feng’s dance, stumbling and falling off his chair.
Ling Feng didn’t expect the "Steel Spear Dance" to have such power, but the stronger it is, the more Coasting Along Value he might gain.
This idea came to him last night while he was dancing on the square.
He thought about how Wang Dashan, the strongest in Ninth Middle School, who was as elusive as a dragon, would react in solo cultivation classes when he danced the Steel Spear Dance in front of him.
At least his actions would perfectly align with the Coasting Along Attribute.
After all, dancing the "Steel Spear Dance" in a serious and solemn cultivation class was a form of indulgence and carefreeness, which perfectly met the requirements of the Coasting Along Attribute from any angle.
Besides, Wang Dashan held a high position and authority.
If he could complete the "Steel Spear Dance," the Coasting Along Value he would gain might exceed all previous times.
With this in mind, Ling Feng wrapped around the long spear, rolled up his pant legs, revealing a hairy long leg, and tried to remember how people danced pole dance in his past life.
He thought about hanging his body on the spear like a snake, or spinning around in circles while holding the long spear.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t perform these high-difficulty moves.
Ultimately, he could only hang on the spear like a monkey.
At that moment, Wang Dashan finally climbed back up from the ground. Ling Feng worried that Wang Dashan would rush over to hit him, and since the dance was over, he hurriedly came down from the spear, grabbed the pole, and spun around the long spear several times.
As a finishing move, he blew a flying kiss to Wang Dashan.
To thank Wang Dashan for not stopping him.
Wang Dashan managed to sit back on his chair, silent, constantly pressing his bracelet.
"Principal, what are you doing?"
Ling Feng asked.
He knew that his actions seemed like a serious mockery to Wang Dashan, so he wanted to calm him down.
"I’m looking for the contact information of President Di Yang of Starry Sky University."
Wang Dashan replied.
"Could it be that the Double S-Class contract with Starry Sky University is sorted out by you, and I can sign the contract with them now?"
Ling Feng asked excitedly.
"No, I want them to cancel all your qualifications and put you on the blacklist to prevent Starry Sky University from losing face because of you!"
Wang Dashan stated firmly.
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback.
"Even if you have exceptional talents, you shouldn’t waste time and cultivation resources on games and dancing. Look at the dance you just did, a complete mess, no different from a Catfish Demon!"
Wang Dashan said angrily.
"What if I say that’s my way of cultivation, would you believe it?"
Ling Feng replied helplessly.
"Believe your nonsense."
It was because he said he believed, that Ling Feng performed a "Steel Spear Dance" for him. Wang Dashan no longer dared to say those words easily in front of Ling Feng.
Instead, he threatened in a strong tone: "If you continue wasting time and cultivation opportunities as you did before, I will have Starry Sky University and Divine Martial University blacklist you and even expel you from Ninth Middle School!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng scratched his head. Given the function of the Coasting Along Fate, if he yielded now, he wouldn’t gain any Coasting Along Value today.
Moreover, he doubted whether Wang Dashan had such authority.
So, he said with deep remorse yet with complete ease: "Perhaps, someone like me is indeed not suitable for school. I’m sorry, Principal, I’m leaving."
"Huh? Wait, stop right there!"
Wang Dashan was bewildered by Ling Feng.
Could it be that Ling Feng really didn’t care at all about the guaranteed contracts from Starry Sky University and Divine Martial University?
Come to think of it, if he really cared, how could he indulge himself in a cultivation class to the point of arranging a "Steel Spear Dance"?
He realized he had used the least concerning matter to threaten him.
So after halting Ling Feng, Wang Dashan solemnly stated: "The Outer Ring City is unstable, with Catfish Demon storms likely to happen at any time. Aren’t you worried about your and your aunt and uncle’s safety, don’t you want them to move closer to the Inner Ring City?"
Wang Dashan thought Ling Feng wouldn’t disregard his family’s lives, at the very least!
"I’m worried, which is why I need to secure a Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University, so I can have enough points to move my uncle’s family into the Inner Ring City."
Ling Feng replied without hesitation.
This matter had nothing to do with coasting along; the key was that in pursuing the goal, his actions should meet the requirements of the Coasting Along Attribute. The more they align, the more smoothly things would get done.
"Since that’s the case, why aren’t you practicing well? Do you know that Zhengxing School has already taken notice of you, and a student named Kang Ning will come to challenge you tomorrow? He’s awakened Hidden Power, if you lose to him, how will you get first place at the end-of-term exams and acquire a Double S-Class contract?"
Wang Dashan said with a heavy heart, stomping his feet.
"Awakened Power Potential, such an outstanding person; even if I lose to him, it’s completely normal."
Ling Feng replied indifferently.
Winning or losing is a common affair among soldiers.
Besides, as someone committed to coasting along in every aspect of life, winning or losing didn’t matter much to Ling Feng.
After all, it’s not a life-and-death struggle.
If losing meant dying, that would be a different matter entirely.
"If you can defeat Kang Ning, you could earn more points, and you might enable your family to move into the Inner Ring City without waiting for a Double S-Class contract from Starry Sky University. Understand?"
Wang Dashan urged excitedly.
"But what can I do if I can’t beat him?"
Ling Feng said helplessly.
"If you just focus on practicing, you can defeat Kang Ning and move your family into the Inner Ring City early!"
Wang Dashan declared firmly.
"Isn’t he coming to find me tomorrow?"
Ling Feng asked back.
"There’s still a month before the end-of-term exams. Losing to him tomorrow doesn’t matter, as long as you can win against him in the exams."
Wang Dashan stepped forward to say.
He thought he was about to rekindle Ling Feng’s fighting spirit, turning him into a good student.
"He’s so strong, beating him won’t be easy unless I really change."
Ling Feng pondered with a frown.
He thought if Kang Ning was praised so highly by Wang Dashan, then Kang Ning must be absurdly stronger than Ye Xuan.
Thus, speeding up the pace of gaining Coasting Along Value was necessary.
Clearly, using Wang Dashan to accelerate gaining Coasting Along Value was a better strategy.
"Go ahead and change, I’m eagerly anticipating your transformation!"
Wang Dashan almost burst into tears, thinking he had finally persuaded Ling Feng.
Ling Feng checked the time and said to Wang Dashan again: "Sorry, Principal."
Wang Dashan froze, thinking Ling Feng was going to perform another "Steel Spear Dance" in front of him. In anger, he quickly grabbed the long spear from Ling Feng’s hand and threw it to the corner of the Cultivation Room, where it stuck into the wall.
But when he turned back, he saw Ling Feng climbing out the window and running away.
Having already obtained permission for leave, he couldn’t stay at school idling around, especially for cultivation, he had to return immediately.
Even if his foot recovered, he still had to see through today’s leave.
