Whims of Celestial Fate

Classroom Distraction

After the tumultuous practice of the previous night, although Lin Xiaofan and his roommates had some concerns about the unknown danger, the attraction of cultivating immortality was too great, like a magnet, firmly pulling their hearts. But cultivating immortals is ultimately a laborious task, especially since they can only choose to do it secretly after the dormitory lights are turned off at night. This has led to a series of problems appearing during the day, with Lin Xiaofan's state in class being the first to be affected.

That morning, the sunlight shone through the classroom window onto the desks. The teacher was lecturing on the key knowledge of the professional courses on the podium, and the students were also listening attentively. The classroom was only filled with the sound of the teacher lecturing and occasional flipping through books. However, Lin Xiaofan completely lost his former energy. He sat in his seat, his head like a drum, occasionally dropping a little, and his eyelids began to fight uncontrollably.

Although his cultivation last night was interrupted by a series of unexpected events, the process of concentrating in the early stage still consumed a lot of his energy. In addition, he kept thinking about the situations that occurred during his cultivation, such as the abnormal fluctuations of spiritual energy and the mysterious black shadow, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep soundly at all. Well, at this moment, drowsiness is like a tide, rushing towards him wave after wave, no matter how hard he tries to cheer up, it's useless.

Lin Xiaofan, Lin Xiaofan! "The teacher raised the volume and called out his name several times, but Lin Xiaofan, who was immersed in drowsiness and thoughts, didn't hear it. He still sat there, his head slowly falling asleep on the table.

The classmate next to him couldn't bear to watch anymore and quietly nudged him with his elbow. Lin Xiaofan suddenly woke up and looked at the podium with a bewildered expression. Before he could figure out the situation, he heard the teacher's slightly serious voice say, "Lin Xiaofan, are you sleeping in class? What did you do last night? You were so tired. Did you listen to all the knowledge I taught you.

Lin Xiaofan's face turned red all of a sudden. He quickly stood up and stuttered back, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I... I didn't sleep well last night, I... I promise I won't be distracted again.

The teacher frowned and looked at him, saying, "Not sleeping well is not a reason. You are now a college student, and you need to learn to manage your time reasonably. If you stay up late playing games or doing other things at night and delay your studies the next day, that's not acceptable. Sit down and listen attentively.

Lin Xiaofan nodded awkwardly, sat down and tried to keep his eyes wide open, trying to focus his attention. However, the drowsiness was like gangrene attached to his bones, which he couldn't shake off no matter what. Soon, his thoughts began to drift away again, thinking about the spiritual disorder he had experienced last night. He wondered if his way of guiding was wrong, or if there was something special about the dormitory that led to that situation.

Thinking about it, he unconsciously froze again. Although his eyes were looking at the blackboard, they were empty and lifeless, completely devoid of focus. The teacher was lecturing on the podium while paying attention to Lin Xiaofan's state. Seeing that he was starting to lose focus again, he felt a sense of helplessness and once again called on his name: "Lin Xiaofan, you're losing focus again. Can you answer the question I just talked about.

Lin Xiaofan was completely stunned now. He didn't even hear what the teacher said. Standing there, his face turned red and he couldn't say a word for a long time, which made his classmates burst into laughter. The teacher was both angry and amused when he saw this and said, "Lin Xiaofan, your current state is not good. Let's go to my office after class and have a good talk about your learning attitude.

Lin Xiaofan secretly complained in his heart, and could only bow his head in response, hoping that this class would end quickly. However, time seemed to be deliberately against him, and it passed particularly slowly.

After finally making it to the end of class bell, the teacher packed up his things, glanced at Lin Xiaofan, and walked out of the classroom. Lin Xiaofan hung his head and was about to walk towards the teacher's office when his roommate Zhao Lei leaned in and patted his shoulder, saying, "Fanzi, this is too miserable for you, but it's not your fault. Who could have slept well in that situation last night? Hey, let me tell you, when I woke up this morning, I felt like my spiritual energy was a little more active than before. Do you think it's because although we were interrupted last night, we still had some new insights.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofan immediately regained his energy and temporarily put aside the matter of going to the teacher's office. He quickly said, "Really? I haven't felt it carefully yet. Last night, I was only thinking about the disorder of spiritual energy and the dark shadows, and didn't have time to think about it.

Sun Yu also gathered around and agreed, "I feel a bit different now. Before, when absorbing spiritual energy, I always felt a bit sluggish. This morning, I tried to guide it and it seems to have become smoother. Maybe we can also consider it a blessing in disguise.

Wang Dahui scratched his head on the side and said foolishly, "I didn't pay much attention to these, but I feel like my strength is a bit stronger. I don't know if it's the effect of spiritual energy, haha.

A few people walked out of the classroom while talking, completely forgetting that Lin Xiaofan still had to go to the teacher's office. They found a deserted corner of the teaching building and continued to discuss the matter of cultivating immortality with great enthusiasm.

Lin Xiaofan frowned and said, "I don't think the spiritual energy disorder last night was an accidental phenomenon. Maybe there was some external force affecting us. Think about it, we haven't had this kind of thing happen before when we were practicing in the dormitory. Could it be that our practice was too noisy and we were targeted by something.

Zhao Lei nodded and said seriously, "I also have this feeling. And that dark shadow, with such fast speed, must not be an ordinary thing. Fanzi, do you think there are other people in our school who are also cultivating immortals, and their cultivation level is higher than ours, and they don't want us to cultivate in the dormitory area, so they are causing these noises to interfere with us.

Sun Yu shook his head and analyzed, "I don't think it looks very similar. If it were another cultivator, just show up and say no to us. Why do you have to do so sneakily? I think it's possible that our dormitory is located in a special location, maybe a node where spiritual energy gathers, and we have triggered some restrictions, which is why those abnormal situations occurred.

Wang Dahui was confused and scratched his head, saying, "Oh, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I just thought it was a good thing that my strength had increased. In the future, I can win awards in sports competitions and so on. Hehe.

Lin Xiaofan gave him a displeased look and said, "Hammer, don't just think about these things. We need to figure out the reason for the spiritual energy disorder now, otherwise there may be some mistakes in our cultivation in the future. Moreover, we don't have the energy to attend classes during the day. If our grades drop too much and our family or school discover something is wrong, then it will be even harder for us to continue our cultivation.

A few people were discussing enthusiastically when suddenly the bell rang again. They finally regained consciousness and realized that the break time had slipped away unconsciously during their discussion.

Lin Xiaofan slapped his head and said regretfully, "Oh, I forgot that I still have to go to the teacher's office. Now that it's over, the teacher is probably even angrier.

Zhao Lei quickly comforted him, "Fanzi, you go check the situation first. We can continue the discussion when you come back. Maybe the teacher just talks casually and won't make things too difficult for you.

Lin Xiaofan nodded helplessly and hurriedly ran towards the teacher's office. When he arrived at the office, he knocked on the door and heard the teacher's "come in" sound coming from inside, then carefully pushed open the door and walked in.

The teacher was sitting at the desk grading homework when he saw Lin Xiaofan coming. He put down his pen and pointed to the chair next to him, saying, "Lin Xiaofan, sit down and let's talk about your class today. Can you tell me what's going on? You're usually a serious student, why do you keep daydreaming and dozing off today.

Lin Xiaofan lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided that he couldn't talk about cultivating immortality. He made up an excuse and said, "Teacher, I've had some family matters lately and have been thinking about them all night, so I didn't sleep well. I know I was wrong, and I will definitely adjust my state in the future. I won't be distracted in class anymore.

The teacher looked at him and sighed, saying, "You have to pay attention to your health and studies even if there are things at home. If you have any difficulties, you can tell the teacher or classmates, but they can't affect your studies. Look at how many knowledge points you missed in this class today, you'll have to make up for them later.

Lin Xiaofan quickly nodded and said, "Hmm, teacher, I understand. After class, I will borrow notes from my classmates and make up for everything I left behind. Don't worry.

The teacher reminded him a few more words and then let him go back to the classroom. After coming out of the teacher's office, Lin Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that although this excuse may temporarily pass, it is not a solution in the long run. He needs to find a way that can cultivate immortality well without affecting his studies.

After returning to the classroom, his roommates looked at him with concern. Zhao Lei whispered, "Fanzi, didn't the teacher say anything about you.

Lin Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything serious, just asked me to make up for the knowledge I left behind. Hey, we need to think carefully about a solution. We can't continue like this, otherwise our studies and cultivation will be delayed.

Several people nodded in agreement and fell into contemplation. In the following classes, although Lin Xiaofan will still occasionally feel drowsy and lose focus, he has been thinking about solving this problem in his heart. As soon as class is over, he continues to discuss strategies with his roommates, and their journey of cultivating immortality continues to move forward amidst these obstacles.
