In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 8: Amazing Prediction Capabilities
Sir He coughed and both of them had to stop. He stated, “What Chu Yunfan said is true. The word symbolizes a fierce bird. I can't believe you know that. In fact, this word has only been researched and translated recently. Even many people who specialized in seal script research did not know about it. It seems you have worked hard! That was awesome!”
What Master He said made Feng Deying blush. This was half because he was angry at Gao Hongzhi and half because his guess was completely wrong. Although Tang Siyu did not get the complete answer that Chu Yunfan had, at least he guessed the word represented a beast.
In the meantime, he said that it was onomatopoeic. It was completely inactive.
At that moment, Chu Yunfan felt two pairs of eyes staring at him. One of them was the somewhat frightening gaze of the Feng Deying Class Monitor, while beside him was the curious gaze of Vice Monitors Tang Siyu. It seemed like he never expected that the usually most inconspicuous man in class would study such subjects in depth.
“Because that's the case, let me test you again!” Mr. He wrote some rare seal characters on the electric whiteboard. He thought he was going to test Chu Yunfan, but Chu Yunfan managed to answer him smoothly with a calm expression on his face.
In fact, many of his answers corroborated Sir He. A large number of translations for the characters of the unusual seal script touch only the true meaning and are not so accurate. However, when Chu Yunfan discussed it, the description was slightly different from the available interpretations. As Master He thought about it, he felt that Chu Yunfan's explanation was superior.
“Good good good. Your explanation is better. There are some words that I didn't understand before because the translation doesn't make sense, but they all become clear once you explain them. This is the correct translation of so many words. It's so big!” The more Master He pondered about it, the more excited he became. “No, I have to report this to the Seal Script Research Institute as soon as possible!”
Admiration filled his eyes when he saw Chu Yunfan. Originally, he only wanted to test Chu Yunfan's knowledge. He wanted to see if he knew some rare seal script characters. He had never expected that not only would Chu Yunfan know them, but he would also give a completely new perspective on them.
One interpretation of the character seal script that Chu Yunfan gave seemed to be exactly the same as the mainstream explanation. However, after careful consideration and comparison, Master He felt that the previous explanation was wrong and Chu Yunfan's explanation was correct.
“You are a genius, Chu Yunfan. I've read your profile before. You have an ordinary Martial Dao cultivation base, but that's okay. I can recommend you for professional research of seal scripts in one of the top ten schools. It would be a pity if a genius like you did not learn the seal script!” Sir he can't stop talking. Talent is required to study the seal script. Some people can estimate the meaning of a character just by looking at its shape, while others can't guess anything. That's the difference between one with a talent for it and one without.
Many students looked at Chu Yunfan in shock, especially those who were clearly not getting into the martial arts stream. They looked at Chu Yunfan with envy. Top ten schools! Although she will be studying professional liberal arts, she will graduate from one of the top ten schools. Whoever comes out of it will become part of the elite of society.
They could even say that no one in the entire class could enter one of the top ten schools, but Chu Yunfan would receive a recommendation from Master He.
No one would doubt such support since Sir He had high status in school. Even the headmaster would call him Mr. He in his honor. It was the principal who had asked him to come out of retirement.
Everyone speculated that Mr. He must have come from an influential background.
Tang Siyu's eyes shone when she saw Chu Yunfan.
“This is an amazing discovery. Students, that's all for class today. Do self-study now!” Master He is very excited. Right after he spoke, he made up his mind and left the classroom.
At that moment, all the students were in an uproar. None of them believed that Mr. He valued the matter very much. One after another, their eyes all turned to Chu Yunfan.
This was the first time he had been the center of attention. Since childhood, Chu Yunfan looked very ordinary. He was never the center of attention in any circle he was in. Anyway, he stayed calm. The memories of the Alchemy Emperor affected him, and there were so many chaotic scenes in his mind. In comparison, this is nothing.
To her surprise was Vice-monitor Tang Siyu, who had never been interested in anyone in the class, also approached her. He said, “I can't believe you understand the seal script well!”
“Nothing!” Chu Yunfan said with a smile.
It could be said that the seal script came naturally to him. That easy.
After Tang Siyu said her part, she turned around and returned to her seat. He started to look at the materials on his tablet.
Feng Deying looked at Tang Siyu and then Chu Yunfan. There was cruelty flashing through his eyes.
“Wow, I can't believe you know much about the seal script!” Gao Hongzhi patted Chu Yunfan's shoulder hard. He felt as if he had found his best friend again.
Sensing the various expressions of the students, including suspicion, shock, annoyance, and kindness, Chu Yunfan said to himself that it was only the beginning.
There are martial arts classes in the afternoon. His voice was loud in 11th grade High School No. 13. In contrast to liberal arts classrooms, martial arts venues are arenas of large-scale debate.
Each martial arts classroom has an area of up to 1,000 square meters. They are divided into different zones for different functions. There is a dedicated meditation zone for meditation, as well as a mini sparring room for students to use.
In a corner of the meditation zone, Chu Yunfan sat with his legs crossed, trying to make the most of every minute he had. He had just broken through to Tier-6 the night before. He wanted to utilize every single moment to break through to Tier-7 or even further.
Suddenly, a series of voices awakened him from his meditative state. He raised his head to look. At that moment, the students from the class had made a circle and taken their seats.
One of them had a large body and was over 1.9 meters tall. Meanwhile, the other one looked like it was over 1.7 meters tall.
Chu Yunfan knew both of them. The tall student was named Mu Zhenfei, while the other was Di Ming.
The duo did not like each other. They had the same cultivation base and were stronger than Chu Yunfan back then. They were at the peak of Tier-6, one step away from reaching Tier-7 and getting into the martial arts stream.
Both of them appreciate their time. It was the last month they had to go through. After that, they would be able to enter the martial arts stream, and their future would be bright.
Chu Yunfan sat next to Gao Hongzhi. Seeing that Chu Yunfan was there, Gao Hongzhi could not help but ask, “Yunfan, who do you think will win between the two of them?”
Gao Hongzhi looked at Chu Yunfan excitedly as he asked a question.
“Who do you think will win?” Instead of answering, Chu Yunfan turned the question to her.
“I think Mu Zhenfei will. His tall and muscular body gave him a natural advantage. It didn't even matter if Di Ming had a higher cultivation base. Since their cultivation bases were similar, Di Ming had little chance of winning! ” Gao Hongzhi did not notice Chu Yunfan's change from his breakthrough. Instead, he continued to speak.
“I don't think so!” Chu Yunfan shook his head and said, “Although Mu Zhenfei is tall, his lower body will be his weakness. If he had a sturdy lower body, he would be formidable. Unfortunately, I could see that his lower body was weak. Meanwhile, Di Ming had incredible kick power. He would defeat him with just three blows as long as he targeted his lower body!”
Chu Yunfan's eyes locked onto the two as he spoke. It was as if he had analyzed the two in the battle zone like a scanner. The advantages and disadvantages of the duo were all exposed in his eyes.
This was impossible before. No matter that Mu Zhenfei and Di Ming had a higher cultivation base than him, Mu Zhenfei was much stronger than him, no matter how shaky his lower body was.
Like that, all of this appeared in his head automatically. He said it without even thinking about it, and his tone sounded like he was very sure of himself. In his head, both of them had already completed the sparring simulation. The result was exactly as he had predicted.
The people around heard him, and they couldn't help but roll their eyes. Seeing the pretentious Chu Yunfan, they secretly criticized him for thinking that he was an expert. Mu Zhenfei had a shaky lower body? Why can't they see it themselves?
Even Gao Hongzhi, one of the three experts in Class 11, thought that Mu Zhenfei had a higher chance of winning. However, Chu Yunfan gave a completely different answer.
‘Is he trying to win the crowd by exaggerating?’
However, since Gao Hongzhi was there, they did not say anything.
At that moment, the duo in the battle zone began to argue.
It was intense as soon as they started the game. Although they were only at the 6th Level Physique Stage, both of them were at the peak of Popping Together. In the fierce battle, they could even hear cracks mixed with the impact of hands and feet.
As Gao Hongzhi and the others had expected, Mu Zhenfei's punch was extremely frightening due to his large body. It was difficult for Di Ming to fight him head-on, and he immediately saw the loss.
Immediately, Chu Yunfan sensed some eyes staring faintly at his surroundings. He could feel their humiliation and ridicule without even looking at them.
They must be thinking, ‘See, you are wrong. Your jaw must be falling now, stupid*ss!’
If this were to happen in the past, Chu Yunfan would definitely be furious. However, he was only pouting now. He felt it was no problem. What could the man's words do to her? As it turned out, when everyone was convinced Di Ming was about to lose, he suddenly changed his strategy. He kicked Mu Zhenfei's lower body directly.
At that moment, Di Ming's kicking ability was seen to the fullest. Even though Mu Zhenfei was doing his best to dodge, his body began to tremble.
“He really has a weak lower body!” Gao Hongzhi said immediately as his eyes twinkled.
Naturally, at that moment, he could see that Mu Zhenfei actually had a weak lower body. He looked at Chu Yunfan again, but he saw that he looked indifferent. He couldn't help but start wondering how he knew. Did he just guess or did he really know?
When Di Ming kicked in for the second time, Mu Zhenfei's matter with his shaky lower body was clearly visible. He lost control of his shaky body.
Meanwhile, Di Ming was obviously not going to let go of the opportunity, and he kicked in for the third time. The tall and slow Mu Zhenfei instantly fell to the ground. He has lost.
By the time they were all supposed to be excited, the crowd became completely silent.. All of them looked at Chu Yunfan, as no one would have expected that he had guessed correctly.
