The principal said, “I will believe you only if you also set my body on fire!”

Ye Fei sighed helplessly and said, “Then I would have offended you!”

Before he could even finish his words, the principal’s body was already on fire!

Moreover, not only was the temperature of the fire extremely high, it could even give people a painful feeling of their souls being roasted!

The principal only knew that flames could burn the enemy’s body, but he had never heard of it being able to burn the soul.

This once again overturned his understanding!

Ye Fei did not really want to hurt the principal, so he had been carefully controlling the flame. He did not let the flame burn directly on the principal’s skin, but only in the air around his body.

In this way, the principal would only feel the heat brought by the flame for a short period of time, but he would not really be hurt.

Ye Fei did the same thing to the passerby in red.

But even though there was a layer of air between them, Ye Fei still did not dare to let the flame burn for too long.

After all, the temperature of the True Phoenix Flame was too high. Even if it was only burning through a layer of air, the heat it released was enough to burn people.

Ye Fei withdrew the flame and asked, “Principal, do you believe me now?”

The principal was speechless

He was still immersed in the shock of his decades of knowledge being completely subverted. He did not hear what Ye Fei had just said at all.

Ye Fei could only stretch out a hand and wave it in front of the principal’s eyes. Then, he asked again.

“Principal, do you believe what I had said before?”

Only then did the principal come back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Recalling his previous attitude towards Ye Fei, he could not help but blush.

“I believe you, I believe you…”

The principal was very ashamed.

“I’ve been studying fire-type pet skills for more than ten years, claiming to be an expert in this area…”

“But I didn’t expect to find out that I actually know close to nothing.”

“Student Ye Fei, thank you for letting me witness the power of the True Phoenix Fire, allowing me to see the world beyond the well.”

The principal spoke word by word with extreme seriousness.

When he said this, Ye Fei actually felt a little embarrassed.

“Principal, don’t say that. I only comprehended that knowledge after reading your notes and thinking about it…”

“If there are any problems, please correct me as well, Principal.”

The principal’s old face turned even redder.

Ye Fei was obviously more knowledgeable than him, yet he could still be so humble.

On the other hand, he was relying on his useless age and his long history of researching fire-type pet skills to call himself an expert and not listen to the opinions of others.

With this comparison, he understood why he had been stagnating in his academic research in the past few years.

He originally thought that it was because he had thoroughly studied the subfield of fire-type pet skills.

But now he knew that it was because he had not even established a solid foundation, and lacked the knowledge and understanding of the profound meaning of True Fire.

That was why he had not made any progress for so many years.

And the bottleneck that had troubled him for so many years, Ye Fei only needed a few words to explain it.

It was better than the vast sea of books that he had read for so many years.

It was really true that more false than true information was passed down through the generations!

“Student Ye Fei, you don’t have to be so humble. Previously, I was too arrogant and blindly believed in my own experience. I couldn’t listen to other opinions.”

“Fortunately, you helped me correct my misconceptions in time. Otherwise, I would have been holding on to my misconceptions in the past, and I’m afraid I would have misled other people’s children…”

“I formally apologize to you for my previous arrogance and for my mistake in blaming you. Student Ye Fei, I’m sorry.”

The principal’s every word was sincere. He had realized his mistake from the bottom of his heart and sincerely wanted to express his apology.

Ye Fei repeatedly waved his hand. “No, no, principal, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

“Everyone will protect their own understanding. This is very normal. I can understand.”

“Anyway, as long as you believe that what I said is right, it’s enough. As for apologizing, there’s really no need for that.”

The principal said, “Of course I believe you!”

“Not only do you believe it, but I also want to organize your notes into articles and send them to the top journals! Sign your name!”

“I have to let all the scholars in the world know that your theories are the truth!”

As he spoke, the principal could not wait to pick up the notebook and continue studying Ye Fei’s notes.

As a martial arts fanatic, if he placed ten thousand taels of gold in front of him, he would not be able to move. He could totally do it.

However, if it was such a peerless secret manual placed in front of him, he would not be able to resist not reading it. He really could not do it!

When he saw his forgetfulness, the principal could not help but summon his pet, the flaming horse, and directly started experimenting in the office!

After Ye Fei’s comments and modifications, the power of the moves recorded in the blazing fire curse was countless times stronger than before!

Especially after learning the concept of “True Fire,” the principal also tried to trigger the true fire when he released the skill.

The result was even more shocking!

It far exceeded his previous knowledge of fire-type pet skills!

Every time he tested a move, the principal couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“So this move can be used like this…”

“No wonder every time this skill is used in the past, it would feel sluggish. It turns out that the records in the books are wrong…”

“Hahaha! After this skill is combined with true fire, its power is really extremely strong!”

..

At the same time.

On the field outside the administrative building.

A passing student saw the fire in the principal’s office and immediately panicked.

“Hey, hey, look! Is the principal’s office on fire?!”

Another student was calmer and said, “I think the principal is testing his pet skill… isn’t his most precious pet a fire-type one?”

“Besides, the principal is not a fool. If it really catches fire, won’t he run? If he can’t run, won’t he call for help to put out the fire?”

“He didn’t run or call for help. He must be fine! You’re making a fuss over nothing.”

The student who first noticed the fire was still worried.

“What if the principal fainted or something else happened and there’s no way to call for help?”

“We’re not afraid of anything. Just to be on the safe side, let’s go take a look.”

“If there’s nothing else, that’s for the best. At worst, we can just apologize to the principal. We’re being kind. Even if we really interrupt his experiment, he definitely won’t blame us.”

“But if there’s really something wrong, we can quickly put out the fire and save the principal, right?”

Another student nodded. “Well, what you said makes sense. Let’s go and have a look.”
