The public: Shattering a star with a single punch, and you call that a martial artist?

Wang Feng glanced at Zhao Jiang indifferently and ignored him. If he really awakened the Fighter, Wang Feng might actually feel disappointed for a while, since the upgrade path for Fighters is too difficult.

But Wang Feng has a hidden profession: immortal cultivator. Wang Feng has never heard of the existence of immortal cultivators in this world. With such a heaven-defying profession, it is only a matter of time before he stands at the pinnacle of this world.

In Wang Feng's eyes, the clamoring Zhao Jiang was like a dog in heat, eager to show off his ridiculous presence in front of the goddess.

Zhao Jiang, however, assumed Wang Feng was disappointed, and his expression became even more arrogant as he sarcastically comforted him, "Sigh, awakening a common profession isn't your fault, it's fate. With your profession, it's probably not going to be easy for you to level up in the beginner dungeons and pass the university entrance exam."

"Although we had some conflicts before, I'm kind-hearted, so if you dropped out of high school and have nothing to do, you can come and work as a security guard at my dad's shop."

"I'll give you 10 gold coins. By the way, 10 gold coins for a year, not a month. You don't need to thank me. We're classmates, after all. I can't just watch you starve to death on the streets, can I?"

Those students who fawned over Zhao Jiang also joined in trampling on Wang Feng.

"Young Master Zhao, you're too kind-hearted."

"If I were you, after leveling up in the dungeon and widening the gap between myself and Wang Feng, I would definitely teach him a lesson and make sure he makes a living, so he can eat dirt for the rest of his life!"

"Wang Feng, why aren't you thanking Young Master Zhao yet?"

"Have you said enough?!" Lin Shiyao snapped.

"Shiyao..." Zhao Jiang greeted Lin Shiyao with a big smile as she approached.

Lin Shiyao sneered: "Call me by my full name. We're not that close. The principal just said that there's no distinction between high and low professions. Don't think that awakening a good profession guarantees success. Profession awakening is just the starting point. Becoming a true powerhouse depends on future growth. Is it meaningful for you to mock others here?"

Zhao Jiang was furious to see Lin Shiyao so protective of Wang Feng.

The other students, however, looked completely bewildered and incredulous.

"Wow, even a three-year-old wouldn't believe those high-sounding words the principal said. Lin Shiyao is clearly trying to protect Wang Feng!"

"Wasn't Wang Feng supposed to be Lin Shiyao's simp? This doesn't seem like it..."

"Does this mean that those who simp eventually get everything they want?"

Zhao Jiang was absolutely furious. Before he awakened, he was already being suppressed by Wang Feng because of Lin Shiyao. Now that he had awakened, he was still being suppressed. Was his awakening for nothing?

"Wang Feng, I want to have a match with you!"

Wang Feng looked puzzled: "Compete in what?"

Zhao Jiang stared intently at Wang Feng: "Let's see who levels up faster in the newbie dungeon. The loser leaves Shiyao. Shall we compete?"

The way several students looked at Zhao Jiang changed, and they muttered to themselves.

"Zhao Jiang is a shameless kid."

"He awakened as a warrior, and can easily reach level 3 in a day in the beginner dungeon. If he's diligent, he can even reach level 4 or 5."

"I've never heard of any fighter who can reach level 2 in the beginner dungeon."

Wang Feng curled his lip and looked at Zhao Jiang disdainfully: "Zhao Jiang, Shi Yao is not an object, not something you can exchange. Do you think that just because you have a high level and strong strength, you can get everything you want? Shi Yao is a living, breathing person, and she has the right to pursue her own happiness."

Lin Shiyao's gaze towards Wang Feng changed. His warm words touched her heart. In this dog-eat-dog world, the strong can get what they want without caring about the opinions of the weak. Isn't Lin Shiyao working so hard precisely to fight against the shackles on her body?

Previously, Lin Shiyao only saw Wang Feng's good skills and used him as a shield, but at this moment, Lin Shiyao felt that Wang Feng was her confidant.

Seeing the change in Lin Shiyao's gaze, everyone secretly thought, "We've learned something!"

Wang Feng's profession isn't great, but he's really good with words.

Zhao Jiang's face turned a deep liver color.

Wang Feng continued, "Zhao Jiang, I'm competing with you not because I want to beat you, but just to tell Shi Yao that the person pursuing her may not be very capable, but he is definitely not a coward."

Zhao Jiang's face turned ugly: "I'm not a coward, Wang Feng, see you in the newbie dungeon!"

Watching Zhao Jiang leave angrily, Wang Feng snorted inwardly, thinking, "With all those words from my past life used to belittle you, you hot-blooded youth, I could easily crush you."

Wang Feng looked at Lin Shiyao with a smile: "I did a good job just now, didn't I?"

"Performance?" Lin Shiyao was taken aback. She had been touched just now, but it turned out to be just Wang Feng's "persona." Lin Shiyao snorted, "So-so."

Wang Feng asked, "Why are you publicly defending me? Are you trying to change the script and make it a story of a rich girl pursuing a poor boy?"

Lin Shiyao rolled her eyes at Wang Feng arrogantly: "Do you think I'm that bored? The college entrance exam is in a month, and I don't want to be bothered by those people. Since you've awakened the Fighter profession, you'll inevitably be suppressed by those people. If I can't compete in terms of raw strength, I can only add some soft skills. Didn't you see how those people's eyes turned red when they saw what I did just now?"

Wang Feng was speechless. This girl's pure and beautiful appearance indeed concealed a cunning heart.

Seeing that Wang Feng looked a little upset, Lin Shiyao assumed that he was feeling discouraged because he had awakened the Fighter class. She offered him a few words of comfort, which was unusual for her, saying, "Wang Feng, don't be discouraged."

"The early leveling path for fighters is relatively difficult, but once you reach level 50, you can switch to another class."

"Even my former bodyguards said you have a talent for fighting. Awakening you as a fighter might be the most suitable choice for you."

Wang Feng rolled his eyes: "What makes you think I'm discouraged?"

Lin Shiyao chuckled: "Considering you've been my shield for so long, if you fail your college entrance exam, you can still be my bodyguard, with excellent benefits."

Wang Feng was touched, but he said aloud, "I'm not a gigolo or a kept man."

Lin Shiyao glanced at Wang Feng in surprise. Wang Feng really did have some backbone. She smiled approvingly and said, "You have ambition. Then work hard and prove them wrong..."

Before Lin Shiyao could finish speaking, Wang Feng leaned over and coughed twice: "Ahem, could you lend me some money?"

Lin Shiyao's appreciative expression froze, and she raised an eyebrow slightly: "Didn't you say you wouldn't live off a woman?"

Wang Feng explained, "How can this be called being a kept man? Aren't you my employer? Can't I ask you for an advance on my salary?"

Lin Shiyao rolled her eyes at Wang Feng: "Fine, you're right. How much?"

Wang Feng said, "Five hundred gold coins."

Lin Shiyao stared intently at Wang Feng for a few seconds: "So much stuff, you're not planning to run away, are you?"
