Chapter 1490: Chapter 1489: Genius Depends on Who You Compare With

The classmates all testified to Zhao Mengxue’s talent and hard work.

This further illustrates how outstanding Zhao Mengxue’s usual performance is, able to win everyone’s admiration, which is not something an ordinary person can achieve.

If you slightly surpass others, they will envy you. If you greatly surpass others, they will admire you.

Zhao Mengxue exceeds her classmates by a large margin. She belongs to the latter.

Fang Yu only glanced briefly and knew her cultivation realm: Heavenly Human Immortal.

This is an extremely high level of cultivation among students.

Of course, in Wanxian City, it is not considered high.

But she has talent, and she’s very young; this is her real asset.

...

Fang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Stretch out your hand."

"Hmm?"

Zhao Mengxue was naturally unwilling.

A woman, especially the goddess of the whole school, why should she do whatever a man tells her?

This request already surprised the entire class.

Amazing, truly amazing.

Even the class beauty can be summoned like this.

This male student is truly something.

However, Principal Ding said, "Do as he says."

Um.

Zhao Mengxue had no choice but to place her fair wrist on the desk.

Many male students behind her stared wide-eyed.

This wasn’t just a woman’s wrist; it was a peerless treasure carved from white jade.

Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he placed his fingers on her wrist.

A moment later, he said, "Before you enrolled, you consumed a great deal of heavenly treasures to expand your meridians and bones. Your Qi Sea was also expanded by a powerful cultivator. This is generally a good thing... unfortunately, the cultivator did not reinforce your Qi Sea Wall while expanding it. Imagine... would a container made of iron explode easily when filled with water?"

No one answered.

Zhao Mengxue wouldn’t respond either, but frowned, staring at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu continued:

"Would a container made of glass explode easily?"

"Like an egg, shattering at the slightest touch..."

The whole class was in an uproar.

There was a flurry of discussion.

Everyone was debating Fang Yu’s judgment and exaggeration.

Only Ding Chunqiu was frowning, staring at Zhao Mengxue, somewhat in disbelief.

This meant that Zhao Mengxue’s so-called talent was forcibly expanded through drugs and cultivator intervention, not true innate talent.

This...

Zhao Mengxue couldn’t allow them to slander her.

Having worked hard to achieve everything today, being completely denied of all efforts wouldn’t make her happy.

"Nonsense! You’re spewing nonsense, falsely accusing me. What are your intentions, fabricating lies to slander me?" Zhao Mengxue could no longer hold back, slamming the table and standing up angrily, glaring at Fang Yu.

"..."

The students got excited, ready for a show.

Who could withstand the goddess’s wrath?

Principal Ding felt awkward... After all, this was Tiandu Mountain’s Emperor Yu, little aunt, don’t speak carelessly.

The old man was extremely clever and quickly stopped the confrontation, saying: "Zhao Mengxue, who allowed you to speak to classmate Fang like this?"

"..."

The more Principal Ding spoke like this, the more everyone thought this guy had backing.

A backing even the principal had to give face to.

Could he be a descendant of a prominent family from the Emperor City? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But even so, Principal Ding’s identity wouldn’t warrant this.

Zhao Mengxue looked at the principal innocently.

Principal Ding continued, "You’re a genius. If you are true gold, why fear the fire? Enduring doubts will earn you more respect."

After these words were spoken.

Zhao Mengxue nodded slightly, huffed, and glanced at Fang Yu, saying:

"You claim my talent is artificial, do you have proof? What’s this about a Qi Sea Wall, all nonsense, you need to take responsibility for your words!"

Fang Yu responded with a calm smile and said:

"Your talent was completed when you were very young, so of course you wouldn’t know... If you want to verify this, you can redirect your Primordial Qi and impact the acupoints of your Qi Sea. With your current cultivation, you can impact your own Qi Sea Wall. A normal cultivator wouldn’t feel pain impacting the Qi Sea Wall, but you’re different, it will be agonizing."

"Nonsense... I’ll prove it to you!"

After speaking.

Zhao Mengxue immediately redirected her Primordial Qi.

The desk in front of her began to float.

Ripples of Primordial Qi surged into her Qi Sea.

Simultaneously impacting the acupoints of her Qi Sea.

Bang!

Nobody knew why, but as those strands of Primordial Qi obediently surged toward a certain point, it was as if a Golden Needle suddenly hit a painful acupoint.

Like the explosive feeling when a balloon bursts, Zhao Mengxue suddenly found it agonizingly painful,

her face turning ashen.

Her forehead was covered in sweat.

The sudden onset of this pain also stunned Zhao Mengxue.

How could this be?

This meant Fang Yu’s words might be true!

The whole class was in another uproar.

Everyone was filled with disbelief.

"Move your Primordial Qi three points upward to protect your heart meridian."

Following Fang Yu’s instructions, Zhao Mengxue immediately redirected her Primordial Qi.

Protecting the heart meridian, the pain vanished.

Fang Yu continued, "Press on your Elixir Field Acupoint and Danzhong acupoint."

Zhao Mengxue followed suit.

Within the Elixir Field, there was a sudden eruption of abundant Primordial Qi Energy.

The energy filled the Qi Sea.

She only felt the Qi Sea Wall being battered by waves,

"Do you feel the weakness of the Qi Sea Wall?"

Fang Yu said with composure, "The Qi Sea Wall relates to your future combat endurance, don’t think it’s useless. Any cultivator who has truly battled knows the importance of the Qi Sea Wall. Like the human body... the stronger it is, the higher your chances of victory, but Primordial Qi will eventually run out!"

"..."

"Your talent is indeed good, but much of it was developed postnatally. It’s fortunate that your situation is discovered early, and going forward, you just need to constantly strengthen the Qi Sea Wall and refrain from further breakthroughs... Otherwise, even a Daluo Immortal couldn’t repair your Qi Sea."

At this point.

The whole class was stunned.

This tone superseding that of the principal as even more authoritative.

More teacher than teacher.

Zhao Mengxue felt a mix of emotions, looking at this so-called backdoor-entry cultivator classmate, whose Primordial Qi fluctuated pathetically, and said somewhat defiantly:

"If I’m not a genius, who is? Whose talent could be better than mine?" Zhao Mengxue asked.

Just as Principal Ding was about to speak.

Fang Yu slowly raised his hand, stopping Ding Chunqiu.

Fang Yu said, "In this class, there are three people with talent better than yours."

"Nonsense! Most people in this class I know, and the classmates know too! No one’s talent is better than mine! I don’t believe it!"

Don’t believe?

Fang Yu chuckled, truly an arrogant little girl.

"Fan Tong, Yan Hu!"

"Brother Yu, we’re here!"

Yan Hu and Fan Tong had been silently watching Fang Yu from a corner, fully accustomed to it.

No matter what Fang Yu said, they didn’t interrupt, just watched quietly.

Now Fang Yu asked them to step out.

Both rushed out without hesitation.

"Chen Daotian—"

Snoring.

Snoring, snoring...

"Um, Brother Yu, Brother Daotian isn’t awake yet."

"..."

Sleeping in the principal’s classroom?
