Not everyone fell for Jiang Fengfeng's threat. Some were indeed afraid of this and that, but there were also those who didn't care.
Just like this young man who came from a poor background, he resolutely walked in and even retorted to Jiang Fengfeng, "Appraiser students like us come to the academy to increase our knowledge and skills. Besides, why would Mr. Yang be so calculative as you say? You're just worrying over nothing."
He had a righteous and outspoken stance.
Jiang Fengfeng was enraged.
However, she didn't continue persuading him because she recognized him. He was a famous bookworm in the academy. His name was Fan Yuan. His brain was filled with nothing but books and he was extremely childish. His words were always the same as what was taught in books and he was stubborn. Once he believed that something was right, no one would be able to change his mind.
Once, over a matter of right or wrong, this bookworm actually dared to argue with a Rank 3 teaching assistant. He didn't give the other party any face at all.
Because of this, Fan Yuan was very unsociable.
It was impossible to persuade someone like him.
"This Fan Yuan is insignificant. Let him go." Jiang Fengfeng scoffed, silently cursing them for being a bunch of peasants. As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together.
At this thought, Jiang Fengfeng smiled proudly.
Didn't this mean that Tan Lin was the same type of person as Fan Yuan?
'Good, that's for the best. '
Just then, another group of students walked over to the lecture hall. Jiang Fengfeng quickly went over to stop them and repeated what she said earlier.
However, these students were obviously from wealthy families. They ignored Jiang Fengfeng and walked straight into the lecture hall.
This time, Jiang Fengfeng was stunned.
It was one thing if Fan Yuan was a bookworm, but why was this group of rich kids here as well?
Among these people, there are a few who are not ordinary. They are the children of famous nobles in Tianxuan City, and even the children of high officials. They may not be able to compare with the children of the first wife in their families, but they are much stronger than ordinary people. In the academy, they were either Rank 1 or Rank 2 beast appraisers, but outside of the academy, they were nothing more than a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Jiang Fengfeng's family isn't weak, but there aren't many high-ranking officials in her family, so her social circle is at the bottom. But this group of people is obviously much higher than Jiang Fengfeng in the "social circle". It's just that no matter how you look at it, it's strange. Why did this group of powerful playboys come to support the new teacher?
That didn't make sense.
Jiang Fengfeng had asked around about Teacher Lin's background. He was from the same hometown as Tan Lin and they both came from the Jade Dragon Kingdom. Even if Teacher Lin was influential in the Jade Dragon Kingdom, this was Tianxuan Capital City. He couldn't possibly be that influential.
Following that, a few more waves of famous nobles from the Academy rushed over. This time, Jiang Fengfeng, who was already frightened, did not dare to stop them.
These people's statuses were much higher than hers. Normally, when they met, they would have to bow respectfully and look up to them. This made Jiang Fengfeng even more confused.
In any case, she didn't dare to stop them anymore. She didn't even dare to stay here any longer.
Jiang Fengfeng was a little fearful of the new teacher, Lin Jin. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he was able to make a bunch of influential people and hedonistic young masters come over to 'support' him on his first visit was something that other teachers obviously couldn't achieve.
After all, many foppish young masters were forced to attend the academy by their family elders. These people did not care about beast appraising skills. Although they were not to the extent of being ignorant and incompetent, they were not that obedient to the academy's teachers. Other than the classes that they were forced to attend, these foppish young masters of the academy would never attend public classes unless it was Mr. Zhong who gave the lecture, let alone attend together.
And so, Jiang Fengfeng tactfully ran away.
Lin Jin looked at the students in the lecture hall. To be honest, there weren't that many people. Not even a third of the seats were filled.
It was still quite spacious.
However, Lin Jin didn't mind. After all, it was his first time giving a lecture. It was already good enough that so many people showed up.
Other than Tan Lin and Li Xinqi, there was also a stern-looking student. He looked serious and had the potential to be a bookworm.
As for the others, they looked like they were here for an outing. Not only were they dressed extravagantly, but they were also whispering to each other as if they were having a casual chat.
It was obvious that these people were from wealthy families.
Lin Jin figured out what was going on after some thought.
If he wasn't mistaken, these people were probably here on Feng Ziqian's orders to support him. However, as they were used to being idle, they didn't follow any rules even in the lecture hall.
It wasn't that they were doing this on purpose. They were just too used to not respecting their teachers.
Lin Jin guessed that these people would never attend the academy's public lectures on normal days.
But a lecture was a lecture. It had to look like a lecture.
"Silence!"
Lin Jin stood there with his hands behind his back. His voice wasn't loud but it carried a hint of magic. It sounded like a sudden clap of thunder.
His voice rang in everyone's ears. In an instant, the noisy lecture hall fell silent.
However, most of the students were dumbfounded.
Just as Lin Jin had guessed, these good-for-nothings were here because they were summoned. Of course, most of them didn't know that the mastermind was the royal family's third prince, Feng Ziqian. Only a few of the leading good-for-nothings knew that they were indeed under Feng Ziqian's orders. Hence, when they found out that Teacher Lin's first lecture might be quiet due to his confrontation with Teacher Yang Ming, they didn't hesitate to summon these good-for-nothings to support him.
It was a good idea, but good-for-nothings were good-for-nothings. If it was their own teacher, they would be treated with a certain amount of respect. But for a public lecture like this, no one had to give them face.
Lin Jin's' silence 'clearly annoyed many of these good-for-nothings.
And so, the noise grew even louder.
Although some of them knew what was going on and tried to dissuade Lin Jin, it was to no avail.
Lin Jin remained expressionless as he repeated, 'Silence'.
But this time, Lin Jin used his advanced pet beast aura.
These good-for-nothings of Merak City had basically all cultivated the Beastmaster Scroll and were usually one with their pet beasts. Under Lin Jin's aura, their pet beasts couldn't resist at all and were instantly suppressed.
Due to the blood contracts and the Beastmaster Scroll, these good-for-nothings were affected as well. Unable to move, an inexplicable fear welled up in their hearts.
With his hands behind his back, Lin Jin scanned the crowd and said, "As a teacher, there must be rules when teaching. No noise is allowed in class. If anyone violates the rules again, please leave."
His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority and murderous intent.
Having said that, Lin Jin retracted his aura.
But this time, none of the good-for-nothings dared to make a sound. After all, most of them had yet to recover from that terrifying aura.
Apart from that, Lin Jin didn't notice a single problem. This was his first time using advanced pet beast aura. Indeed, it wasn't effective against Rank 5 beasts and there was even a chance that the aura would fail.
However, against beasts below Rank 5, it was a hundred percent guaranteed to produce a terrifying aura. Even if the aura was retracted, the beast wouldn't be able to recover from its fear for a short period of time.
As a result, these good-for-nothings were so frightened that their legs turned to jelly. They couldn't even stand up for a while.
Hence, Lin Jin was relieved that not a single one of them stood up and left.
"Hmm, very good. Seems like you're all good people," Lin Jin praised.
Lin Jin praised. In fact, many of them wanted to leave but their legs were too weak to move.
Although they were indignant, none of these good-for-nothings dared to make a ruckus. They all behaved themselves and behaved harmoniously on the surface. Their classroom discipline was very good.
Lin Jin began his lecture.
He was serious, not because Lin Jin was doing it on purpose, but because he had always been serious when it came to such things. Besides, this was his first lecture ever since he arrived at Heavenly Spiral Academy. This was the holy land of beast appraisers in Zhongzhou, the best beast appraisal academy in the country. Lin Jin obviously had to showcase his true capabilities or else it wouldn't be good if he became a laughing stock.
Tan Lin and Li Xinqi didn't need to be mentioned. Both of them knew Lin Jin's capabilities so they listened attentively. The more they listened, the more excited they became. Both of them knew what was good for them. Although Lin Jin's first lecture today was about the basics, it was from a new perspective. It felt as if they were enlightened after he stopped.
Bookworm Fan Yuan's eyes widened. He wasn't qualified to be Lin Jin's disciple so he had been listening to public lectures. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this was the best lecture he had ever attended since he entered Heavenly Spiral Academy.
The ones who were the most shocked were the good-for-nothings.
Although many of them didn't dare to make a sound or felt weak in the knees, they were still indignant and extremely averse to Lin Jin's lecture. But soon, as Lin Jin continued his lecture, their indignation and dissatisfaction slowly dissipated.
One of the good-for-nothings listened attentively. He even took out a pen and paper to take notes.
"Teacher Lin's lecture is really good!"
