Chapter 105: The White Tiger Mauling Incident!

Ran Ran wore a black training suit with gold trim, looking tall, cold, and glamorous, which was very eye-catching.

Many of the male students’ gazes would, intentionally or unintentionally, drift toward her. The male teachers were even more bold and direct, frequently running over to chat with her or ask for advice on teaching matters.

Upon learning that Tang Fei had advanced to the upper grade of the Qi-Governing Realm, Ran Ran was very pleased and said, "Hard work pays off. Your diligent efforts during this period have finally been rewarded."

"It proves that our direction is correct," Tang Fei replied with a smile. "Now we must start pushing toward the Tongyou Realm."

Tang Fei had crossed paths with two individuals in the Tongyou Realm. One was the bodyguard of that girl from the Yan family on the Old Earth; Tang Fei was no match for him and was nearly decapitated, saved only by Xiao Pang, who crushed the bodyguard with the help of a Skeleton Hammer.

The other was Shen Qingping. Although their duel was in a virtual simulation, the control and use of Yin-Yang energy by a Tongyou master, along with the flexibility and toughness of their bodies, were simply incomparable to those in the Qi-Governing Realm.

One grade is a mountain; one realm is a world apart.

The difference in power between realms is truly vast.

Ran Ran nodded and said, "Then I must redesign your training program. You are now at the upper grade of the Qi-Governing Realm. To advance quickly to the Tongyou Realm, your Yin-Yang energy needs to reach a certain threshold. However, to sustain such immense energy, you also need a powerful physique and a resilient will."

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, we will intensify your training in the gravity chamber. You are a student specially approved by the principal. He personally stated that, to compensate for the injuries you sustained during the assessment, the Martial Arts Hall will be open to you for life, free of charge, with unlimited use of all training and recuperation equipment."

"Now, that promise will come in very handy. Without the authority granted by the principal, we would be limited to at most ten minutes a day in the gravity chamber, and that would require applying for a slot. Most of the time, you wouldn't even get in because there are simply too many people who want to use the gravity chamber."

"Understood, I will follow Teacher Ran's arrangements," Tang Fei readily agreed.

He also felt he needed a systematic overhaul and upgrade of his mental strength and physique to lay a solid foundation for entering higher realms later on.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

Only with great terror can there be great enlightenment.

Having left the Old Earth, he lacked that sense of life-and-death tension. Therefore, Tang Fei needed to create his own challenges.

"All right, let's stick to the previous plan for today. Once I finish the version 2.0 of the 'Devil's Plan,' we will execute the new one."

"No problem."

Tang Fei agreed readily.

Since he had decided to cultivate both his martial and academic skills, he could not miss his mechanical engineering classes.

Tang Fei was hunched over the workbench trying to build a bird, attempting to replace the wooden components with steel.

However, he could not figure out the power system.

He believed in asking when he didn't know. Tang Fei looked around and noticed the mechanical genius, Lu Siyu, asleep at her desk.

How could this woman be slacking off during class?

He ran over, tapped Lu Siyu on the shoulder, and said, "Classmate Lu Siyu, I have a question I'd like to ask you..."

Seeing Tang Fei's actions, every student in the classroom looked over in horror.

"Tang Fei, what are you doing? Don't you know our class monitor hates being disturbed when she's sleeping?"

"Yeah, the last time Huang Yu asked her a question while she was sleeping, she nearly threw him off the building..."

"It's over, the monitor is going to snap... Young man, you are just too clueless."

—

Lu Siyu lifted her head, her hair messy and her eyes bleary.

Her eyes were bloodshot, making it look as though she hadn't slept well in a long time.

She looked at Tang Fei, who was standing before her, in bewilderment, struggling to comprehend the situation.

Soon, the intense physical discomfort and the throbbing dizziness in her head made her angry and irritable.

She suffered from severe insomnia and found it very difficult to sleep without the help of medication.

If she could fall asleep naturally, it was a luxury for her.

She had pulled an all-nighter last night, and just as she finally felt a wave of sleepiness and slumped onto her workbench to drift off...

She had just entered a state of rest when she was jolted awake by this jerk, Tang Fei.

This was more agonizing for her than death itself.

"Tang Fei..."

Lu Siyu hissed.

"I'm going to kill you."

She picked up the remote control from her workbench and activated the attack program for her mechanical tiger.

The large, fierce-looking tiger seemed to come to life; it opened its maw and, with a boom, pounced toward Tang Fei.

"ROAR!"

Tang Fei turned and ran.

"Help!"

"Murder! Someone is trying to kill me! Lu Siyu is trying to kill me!"

"Quick, someone call the teacher! Lu Siyu, you crazy woman..."

"ROAR!"

—

Mechanical Engineering Department, Head Teacher’s Office.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Do you know what kind of behavior this is? Do you have any idea what you are doing?"

"Ah, where is this place? This is a school! A place to teach and cultivate people, a place to learn skills... How could you commit such an immoral act?"

"Screaming and fighting in the classroom, the entire mechanical department was stirred up! Countless people ran out to watch the spectacle. What? Do you think this is glorious? Do you think it's fun?"

—

The little old man, Huang Tianmu, pointed at Tang Fei and Lu Siyu, cursing them roundly. Even a man with such a good temper was fuming to the point of foaming at the mouth because of these two rebellious students.

Tang Fei and Lu Siyu stood in the corner. Tang Fei looked down in contemplation, while Lu Siyu stared up at the ceiling. Both remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

"Speak!" Huang Tianmu shouted angrily. "Lu Siyu, you explain... how could you manipulate your mechanical tiger to hurt someone? Do you know how destructive a mechanical beast is? You nearly tore this building down with your tiger, do you realize that?"

"He disturbed my sleep," Lu Siyu stated.

"Even if he disturbed your sleep, you can't use a mechanical tiger to hurt someone!" Huang Tianmu shouted.

"Exactly," Tang Fei chimed in. "I just wanted to ask a question, and she treated me like this! Teacher, look at my arm, my back, and my thigh..."

"Hey, why are you taking off your pants?" Huang Tianmu stopped him.

Tang Fei halted his movement and said, "I just wanted Teacher Huang to see the injuries on my body... Teacher Huang, you have to stand up for me! Lu Siyu is the class monitor; I asked her for advice, and not only did she refuse to teach me, but she also used such a vicious mechanical tiger to attack her own classmate..."

"Is there any justice left? If I had run any slower, I would have been bitten to death by her mechanical tiger!"

"That's right, Classmate Lu Siyu, your behavior is extremely serious. If something had happened to Classmate Tang Fei, how would I answer to his parents and family? What kind of behavior is this? Do you realize this is attempted murder?"

"It wouldn't have bitten him to death," Lu Siyu said expressionlessly.

She didn't consider it attempted murder at all. If a disciple trained by her could be murdered so easily, that would be the biggest joke of all.

"How do you know it wouldn't have bitten him to death?"

"I just know," Lu Siyu said with certainty. "Besides, the remote control was in my hand. I would have stopped it before it could kill him."

"That is still no way to behave."

Lu Siyu didn't make a sound; she had already done it, so let it be whatever it might be.

"Teacher, look at her refusal to admit her mistake. Does she even respect teachers in her eyes? Does she even respect the school? It's fine if she doesn't respect me, but I cannot allow her to disrespect Teacher Huang." Tang Fei would never miss an opportunity to stir up trouble for her.

Huang Tianmu’s brow furrowed, and the target shifted to him. He criticized, "You are also at fault. You knew Classmate Lu Siyu hates being disturbed when she sleeps, yet you went over and tapped her awake. Isn't that intentionally looking for trouble?"

"Teacher Huang, you are wronging me," Tang Fei cried out in grievance. "You know I am a freshman in the mechanical department. How long have I been in this class? How could I possibly know that Lu Siyu has such a quirk? If I had known she had such a habit, I would rather be stifled to death by my question than ask her anything while she was sleeping."

"Fine, fine, stop explaining." Huang Tianmu felt like his head was about to explode.

Tang Fei and Lu Siyu had turned the mechanical department upside down, with Tang Fei running in front and the mechanical tiger chasing behind. He didn't know how much office equipment had been destroyed.

"The two of you, tell me, how should this be handled?"

"Teacher Huang, I am the victim," Tang Fei said. "I believe Classmate Lu Siyu needs to compensate me—a double compensation, both physical and mental. Just look at the injuries on my body..."

"Speak properly, and stop trying to take your pants off every other second. I believe you have injuries, okay?" Huang Tianmu said irritably.

What kind of students were these?

One would manipulate a white tiger to hurt someone at the slightest disagreement, and the other would try to take his pants off at every turn.

"Then I won't take them off," Tang Fei said. "Teacher, she has to compensate me for my losses. I can ignore the physical injuries, but what about the emotional ones? When I saw that huge tiger pouncing on me, you have no idea how terrified I was."

"I called for help, but no one answered. Plus, I was bullied by her in front of so many students—campus bullying! Tell me, shouldn't she compensate me with that white tiger?"

"Right," Huang Tianmu nodded.

"Impossible," Lu Siyu sneered.

This guy really had an appetite like a lion; he was actually eyeing her mechanical tiger. How could that be possible?

He didn't know how much time and energy she had poured into this mechanical tiger. If she were willing to sell it, she would likely have people fighting over it for millions of star coins.

Huang Tianmu realized he had been played by Tang Fei and said angrily, "I said she should compensate you, but I didn't say she had to compensate you with a mechanical tiger!"

"Then what is she going to compensate me with?" Tang Fei asked. "Teacher Huang, do you think the trauma I suffered in body and mind is worth less than a mechanical tiger? Teacher Huang, look at my leg..."

"Enough, enough," Huang Tianmu waved his hand and said, "What exactly do you want? A mechanical tiger is out of the question; Classmate Lu Siyu won't agree."

Tang Fei hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind. "Actually, I don't necessarily need Lu Siyu's white tiger. I personally love to learn, and I hope that when I encounter difficult problems, Classmate Lu Siyu can explain them to me unconditionally. She cannot refuse, and she cannot hide anything."

"Impossible," Lu Siyu refused again.

He didn't want the fish; he wanted the fishing net? He was truly a disciple trained by him.

"That is settled," Huang Tianmu said, making the final decision.

He was anxious to resolve this matter quickly and move on. Besides, he felt that Tang Fei's request was quite reasonable.

The person had been hunted by her mechanical tiger for half the day; what was wrong with her explaining a few problems?

Besides, which teacher doesn't like a student who loves to learn?

Seeing that Lu Siyu was about to speak up and refuse again, Huang Tianmu looked at her and said, "If you don't agree, then you will have to compensate him with the white tiger."
