Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless at Su Lingxiang's words.
All I did was refuse to be a full-time alchemist. How did that suddenly make me responsible for disappointing the entire world?
"Instructor Su, I'm not saying I won't practice alchemy. I just don't want to become solely an alchemist. It's not that serious," Jiang Chen sighed.
"A person's energy is limited," Su Lingxiang replied, her tone stern.
"There are many so-called 'geniuses' who thought they could master everything. In the end, they spread themselves too thin and accomplished nothing. They wasted their talent."
She fixed him with a serious look.
"I don't want you to become one of those people, Jiang Chen. Understand?"
"Thank you for your advice, Instructor Su."
Jiang Chen bowed slightly, his expression sincere.
"But I still want to focus on martial arts."
"You…!"
Su Lingxiang's frustration was palpable.
Is this kid even listening? she thought, exasperated.
"Fine! I'm going to recommend you for promotion to the Gold Class. Just wait here!"
With that, she stormed off, clearly annoyed.
Let Teacher Yan Qingxuan deal with this stubborn kid, she decided.

As Su Lingxiang left, Jiang Chen turned his gaze toward Lin Yang, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Lin Yang, are you going to leave now, or do I need to show you the door?"
Lin Yang's face twisted with fury. He glared at Jiang Chen, his voice cold.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing much."
Jiang Chen's tone was indifferent.
"I just want to remind you—when I said 'get out,' I meant it literally. Do you need me to show you how?"
"Jiang Chen, don't push me too far!"
Lin Yang's body trembled with rage. This guy was publicly humiliating him, right in front of everyone!
"I'm pushing you. What are you going to do about it?"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Now, are you going to leave on your own, or should I help you?"
Lin Yang sneered, his voice dripping with disdain.
"If you think you can make me leave, you're delusional."
He turned, walking toward the door, dismissing Jiang Chen's threat.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's figure blurred.
In an instant, he appeared beside Lin Yang, executing his Flowing Light Phantom Step flawlessly.
Before Lin Yang could react, Jiang Chen slapped his shoulder, sending him stumbling to the ground.
"Jiang Chen! What are you doing?"
Lin Yang's voice was panicked.
"If you touch me, my brother will make you pay!"
Jiang Chen's gaze was icy. He grabbed Lin Yang and, under the
terrified gaze of the class, bent his limbs together.
Then, with a slight lift of his foot, he
delivered a swift kick to Lin Yang's backside.
Lin Yang tumbled out of the classroom like a rolling ball.
The entire room fell silent.
Did that just happen?
The Bronze Class students stared in
shock.
"He... he really made Lin Yang roll out
of the classroom..." One student finally whispered, breaking the stunned silence.
This guy is ruthless!
