How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 2 What gentleman wouldn't like a polite student?
The sky is bright.

In a secluded, old courtyard in the city, a young man was practicing martial arts with a wooden stick in his hand, each move precise and skillful.

Chop, sweep, pick, poke, flick, etc.

There are no fancy moves, only practical ones.

Lin Fan, holding the stick in one hand, leaped up and forcefully slammed the stick into the ground. With a bang, a cloud of dust rose, leaving a stick imprint on the ground.

[Basic staff technique proficiency +1]

"call."

Lin Fan stood up and put away his staff, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, his body gradually becoming hot.

Seeing his proficiency increase, he nodded with satisfaction.

This is the result of hard work.

When he was just randomly swinging his staff around, he grasped the basic staff technique. Then he relentlessly worked on improving his proficiency, progressing from mastering the basic staff technique to achieving minor proficiency, and then to major proficiency.

He discovered that the stick fighting techniques had undergone a tremendous change without him even noticing.

This feeling is like self-correction.

If we use modern time, it's only five o'clock. Back when he hadn't time-traveled, he would still be fast asleep at five o'clock, how could he possibly get up?

But being transported to a strange world, he always felt a sense of tension and pressure, which prompted him to seize every minute and second and use his time wisely.

There is a saying.

At a time like this, you still have the mind to sleep?
Continuing to practice the stick technique, the sound of the stick cutting through the air when it was swung was very dull. After a long time, the sound of the door opening came from next door, and there was a chubby-faced child standing in front of the fence as usual, staring at the door with big eyes.

Of course, Lin Fan was oblivious to everything else and focused solely on swinging his stick.

[Basic staff technique proficiency +1]

……

After a long time.

Lin Fan stopped what he was doing, breathing rapidly, sweat beading on his forehead, his face flushed, having used up most of his strength.

I glanced at the proficiency level.

[Beginner Staff Techniques (Mastery 63/1000)]

From the moment he woke up until now, an hour has passed, and he has increased his proficiency by fifty points. This is his fixed rate of improvement every day when he wakes up. Once he reaches a certain level of proficiency, he stops cultivating.

It just reached the limit that the body could tolerate.

We need to act urgently now, but we can't be desperately anxious.

Lin Fan's gaze fell on the snotty-nosed child. The boy was seven years old, nicknamed Tiger, and was his neighbor. He lived with his mother and they were just barely able to make ends meet.

I've met the child's mother a few times. She's quite good-looking. It seems she knows Lin Fan is involved with the Loyalty Hall and doesn't dare to have too much contact with people like him. Therefore, she has always avoided any chance to meet him.

Yong'an City is relatively safe, but dirty things can't be avoided in the shadows.

Lin Fan picked up a small stick from the corner, walked to the fence, and handed the stick to Hu Zi, saying, "Here, take it and play with it."

"Thank you, brother." Tiger happily took the wooden stick, then thought for a moment and took out a cold steamed bun from his pocket. "Brother, you eat the bun."

Lin Fan smiled and patted Hu Zi's head, "Keep it for yourself, your brother won't eat it."

"Oh."

Then Tiger happily munched on a steamed bun while waving his little stick around the yard.

No man can withstand a straight, long stick.

Lin Fan went back inside to wash up. When he went out, he turned around and made eye contact with Hu Zi's mother. Hu Zi's mother was so frightened that she quickly pulled the child, who wanted to continue playing, back inside.

"Am I that scary?"

Lin Fan touched his face and thought he was quite handsome, ranking among the top handsome men in Yong'an City.

……

Qingfang Private School.

Lin Fan stuffed the remaining buns into his mouth, then pushed open the door and entered. He saw an elderly man in a blue robe sitting at the classroom, whom he addressed respectfully.

"gentlemen."

The old man nodded.

Lin Fan found his seat and sat down, opening the book in front of him. The old man taught law. In his youth, he was a clerk in the government office. When he got old and could no longer work, he opened his own private school to teach people law.

The book "Direct Explanation of Laws and Ordinances" is rather obscure and difficult to understand. When he read it, his brain felt like it was about to explode.

I can only afford to spend some money to attend classes.

At this moment, the old man looked at Lin Fan, who was sitting there reading with his head down, and nodded with satisfaction. He was quite impressed with this young man. Although he did not know much about the law and his understanding of it was not high, he was really studying very hard.

He arrived at the private school on time every day without fail.

He never leaves early or arrives late. Especially after learning that Lin Fan was a member of the Loyalty Hall, they couldn't help but look at him with higher regard. What does this signify?
This shows that the young man is ambitious, knows that joining gangs has no future, and is able to patiently study and seek a better way out.

As for joining gangs, it's definitely out of necessity, which is understandable.

Before long, people began to arrive one after another. These people were all there to study law in preparation for the exam a month later. All of them came from well-off families, and the one from the poorest family was Lin Fan.

"Hey, you little rascal, you're here early."

Lin Fan frowned slightly and looked at a young man sitting to the side. This guy had been targeting him ever since he learned that he was a lackey of the Loyalty Hall.

Lin Fan was so angry that he sometimes thought, "One dark and windy night, I'll smash your head with a stick."

Seeing that Lin Fan did not respond, Chen Liang continued, "You're just wasting your time studying. You think you can pass the exam? The sun will rise in the west."

He didn't take Lin Fan seriously at all.

Because his uncle worked for the government.

My uncle said that you should just study law, and that's enough. He'll arrange everything for you.

Therefore, Chen Liang felt extremely unlucky to see a ruffian sitting in the same private school as him.

"Quiet down, class is starting."

The old man slapped his ruler, glanced at Chen Liang with disdain, but when his gaze fell on Lin Fan, it turned into approval. He was calm and composed, able to endure being provoked; such a person was suitable for working in the government.

As for these spoiled brats, he wouldn't bother teaching them if it weren't for the need to make a living.

Lin Fan naturally noticed the old man's gaze.

He has no relatives or friends in this world, so it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to behave well in front of the old man and make a good impression.

"Turn to page seventeen. Today's topic is rape cases, which are divided into several categories. One is the ordinary rape case, in which violence is used to force a woman to have sex. The offender is sentenced to hanging. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the offender is still severely punished, usually with one hundred strokes of the cane and exiled three thousand miles away."

Lin Fan listened attentively to the teacher's explanation and memorized it. This punishment was quite harsh; if it were on Earth, it would only amount to a few years in prison.

"However, in rape cases, there are also cases of rape between people of different social classes and between relatives. If the rape is between people of different social classes, there are two situations: one is that a person of low social class rapes a woman from a respectable family, in which case the perpetrator will be severely punished with beheading; but if a woman from a respectable family rapes a woman of low social class, the perpetrator will be punished with caning or imprisonment..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan paused slightly, then, remembering that this was a feudal dynasty, he didn't say anything more.

"Hey, you lowly person, I'm talking about you." Chen Liang said with a lowly laugh.

Lin Fan looked at Chen Liang with a smile, memorizing the other's appearance. "You just wait, you son of a bitch." If he had the strength and hadn't learned martial arts yet, he wouldn't have given the other a chance to jump around in front of him.

Of course, he also knew about the household registration system here.

Good citizens are scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants.

The lowest social class includes entertainers, beggars, destitute people, boat people, and slaves.

He belonged to the beggar class.

time flies.

During this time, Lin Fan benefited greatly and gained a better grasp of the law. Chen Liang, on the other hand, was getting sleepy listening to the lecture. The law is the law, and reality is reality.

He went and raped someone of low social status, and nothing happened to him.

"get out of class is over."

The old man got up, intending to leave.

"Thank you, sir. You've worked hard."

Lin Fan stood up respectfully.

The old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. Who wouldn't like a sensible student? As for the other students, they were simply a mess and had no manners at all.

After the old man left.

Lin Fan looked at Chen Liang and said, "I think I know why you've been targeting me all this time."

"Hmm?" Chen Liang asked curiously.

Those around who hadn't left also cast curious glances their way.

Lin Fan pointed at Chen Liang's face, then at his own, and said, "Because you're jealous that I'm more handsome than you. But looks are something you're born with, there's nothing you can do about it. But your face is fat and covered in pimples, like a toad. I feel disgusted sitting next to you. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. If I look at you a few more times, I'm afraid I'll throw up."

The voice just fell.

The people around couldn't help but burst into laughter.

boom!
"You fucking bastard."

Chen Liang slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, his face turning ashen. What angered him most was when people talked about his face, and he couldn't refute them because his face really was ugly.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had already strode away.

He didn't even glance at Chen Liang.

All they could hear was Chen Liang's impotent and furious cursing.
