Lin Chen probably never dreamed that merely asking for her name out of politeness would get him labeled as "scum" in Qiu Yue's mind.
After Lin Chen sat down, he continued to look around. In front of him sat a chubby guy with a big head and fleshy ears.
Just as Lin Chen barely got comfortable, the chubby guy suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Kid, you can't sit here, quickly change to another spot."
The chubby guy looked at Lin Chen and huffed coldly.
The reason why the chubby guy sat at the back was to pursue the gentle-natured girl, Yang Wenshan.
He didn't want Yang Wenshan to find his actions too abrupt, so he didn't sit directly next to her but left a seat between them.
But who would have thought that Lin Chen would leap into action first.
Thus, the chubby guy naturally saw Lin Chen as an enemy.
"Isn't this seat empty? Why can't I sit here?"
Lin Chen looked at the chubby guy, full of confusion. He didn't know this guy at all, yet the guy acted as if they had a deep feud.
"It doesn't matter if the seat's empty, I'm telling you not to sit here, so don't."
The chubby guy's nose resembled that of a pig's, with two large nostrils facing Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was immediately displeased hearing the chubby guy's words.
Yesterday when I registered, that foolish girl Qiu Yue seemed like she'd eaten gunpowder, and now this chubby guy was unreasonably obnoxious too.
Clearly an empty seat, why can't I sit here?
"This isn't your house. I'm sitting here today, what can you do about it?" Lin Chen retorted to the chubby guy.
"Kid, don't say I didn't warn you, nobody dares to oppose me in this Spirit Formation Hall. You're just a Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer trash, doesn't matter how you got in, I won't give you any face. Get the hell off this seat, or I could crush you with just a flick of my finger."
The chubby guy looked at Lin Chen, threatening him. He didn't expect a piece of trash like Lin Chen to dare talk back.
"Oh ho, threatening me? Fatso, you really think I scare that easily? If you have the guts, kill me now. I want to see what a fool with as much fat as a dead pig is capable of. Stop glaring at people with your nostrils as if you're all that. Let me tell you, if you don't make a move today, I won't even respect you."
Lin Chen said coldly to the chubby guy.
Seeing the chubby guy's big head and fleshy ears, Lin Chen thought this guy must be a fat sheep ready for slaughter.
Now that the guy was provoking him, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't miss the chance for a big payoff.
Therefore, Lin Chen used such words to provoke him into making a move, which would then allow Lin Chen to reap a big gain.
Hearing Lin Chen's arrogant words, the chubby guy was infuriated and nearly lost it.
However, the chubby guy knew full well that they were in class, and to make a move under Zhuang Xiaoqin's nose would be suicidal.
If he did that, not only would he face punishment, but he might also be forever banned from the Spirit Formation Hall.
"Kid, you just wait, don't run after class. Watch me not beat your teeth out."
The chubby guy looked at Lin Chen, coldly threatening.
However, the chubby guy had no idea that the person he was threatening was not just your average Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer Martial Artist but an incredibly terrifying existence.
Often, hunters appear as prey.
If the chubby guy knew the miserable end of those people from Heaven Hall who previously provoked Lin Chen, even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare threaten Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was just about to continue using his sharp tongue to incite the chubby guy further, lest after class the guy cools down and doesn't take a swing at him, missing this golden opportunity to get rich.
"Lin Chen, don't get into a dispute with him. You absolutely can't beat him, why provoke him and bring trouble on yourself?"
Lin Chen was about to continue shouting insults and taunts at the chubby guy when he felt a gentle tap on his back from a girl.
Turning around, Lin Chen heard the girl's kind reminder.
Seeing the cautiously timid look on the girl's face, Lin Chen noticed that although she didn't talk much, she was kind-hearted to remind him.
"No worries, this dead fatso is just a coward who talks tough. After class, he'll definitely run far away, no way he'd dare lay a hand on me."
Lin Chen said with a smile to Yang Wenshan.
As soon as these words came out, the chubby guy's face turned beet red with anger.
If Zhuang Xiaoqin weren't on the podium, he would probably have exploded by now.
"Alright, everyone quiet down, I'm about to start the class."
Just as Lin Chen was about to continue provoking the chubby guy, Zhuang Xiaoqin tapped the table gently on the podium and said.
With those words, countless eyes in the classroom instantly landed on Lin Chen.
Everyone was ready to listen to the lecture, yet only the chubby guy and Lin Chen were talking.
Actually, Zhuang Xiaoqin didn't want to remind Lin Chen this way, but Lin Chen and the chubby guy kept talking, completely ignoring her as she had been watching them for a long time, and they showed no signs of quieting down.
Feeling the cold stares from others in the classroom, Lin Chen and the chubby guy finally realized they had provoked public anger.
Lin Chen quickly shut his mouth, smiled lightly, and looked apologetically at Zhuang Xiaoqin.
The chubby guy quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Having provoked public ire, how could he continue to hang around in the Spirit Formation Hall?
Thinking this way, he blamed Lin Chen entirely for this incident.
After class, he'd make Lin Chen pay a hefty price.
Yang Wenshan, sitting behind Lin Chen, also found herself under the scrutiny of others because of her proximity, which almost made her, timid as she was, burst into tears.
"Many of you here are new students this year, and for the next half year, it will be me teaching you. If you want to learn the Way of the Spirit Arrays, you'll start with learning Spirit Talismans.
Each Spirit Talisman connects, forming Talisman Inscriptions drawn on Talisman Paper, and the convoluted symbols of the inscriptions form a Spiritual Formation.
If anyone here has some understanding of Spiritual Formations, feel free to stand up and share your insight into the Way of the Spirit Arrays."
