"Dragon... Dragon King" Hao Ren looked at him in disbelief, completely baffled.

"You still have classes this afternoon. Better head back early." Lu Qing stood up and waved to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren thought for a moment before standing up and turning around to leave the luxurious office suite alone via elevator.

Standing inside the elevator, watching as the numbers decreased, Hao Ren felt like he was dreaming.

When he reached the first floor lobby, the pretty receptionist gave him a slight smile as he passed by—anyone who could enter the CEO's office must be an important guest.

Hailing a taxi to return to school, Hao Ren gradually felt like he was back in reality upon seeing these familiar sights.

He took out his phone and called Zhao Jiayin. "Where are you guys"

"We're on the A building's art appreciation class. Are you okay We didn't dare call you." Zhao Jiayin said.

"I'm fine. I'll be over there soon." Hao Ren hung up and his first thought was to find his close friends. This series of events felt too bizarre for him to believe it wasn't real.

He almost ran to the A building, found the classroom, and sneaked in from the back door.

"What happened What’s going on" Zhao Jiayin asked Hao Ren with concern.

"Ah, don't ask." Hao Ren waved his hand dismissively and sat down.

The class monitor Xie Yujia noticed Hao Ren's return and turned to look at him.

"Xie Yujia seems very interested in you lately," Cao Ronghua said when he saw Xie Yujia turn around.

Hao Ren wasn't in the mood to discuss this topic. He steadied his mind and asked, "Hey, what's our principal's name"

"Wu Senyu. You didn’t know that" Zhou Liren leaned over and said.

"And who’s the vice-principal" Hao Ren hurriedly asked.

"The executive vice-principal is Lu Qing, I don't know about the others." Zhou Liren seemed eager to showcase his knowledge, continuing his answer: "The executive vice-principal holds the highest position under the principal, hence they're also known as the first deputy principal."

Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat but he didn’t say anything further.

"Why do you ask Is our principal related to you" Zhou Liren asked Hao Ren in return.

"Nothing..." Hao Ren tightened his grip on the business card in his pocket.

"Hao Ren, come up here and answer a question!" Seeing Hao Ren talking with Zhao Jiayin, and remembering he had snuck into class quietly earlier, the teacher was displeased. He called out to Hao Ren to make him answer a question.

Poor Hao Ren hadn't attended half of the lesson and couldn’t possibly know the answers; he was humiliated by the teacher's ridicule.

Class monitor Xie Yujia turned back to look at Hao Ren, her eyes filled with sympathy.

After the class ended, Hao Ren returned to his dormitory with Zhao Jiayan and the others. Gu Jiadong from the opposite dorm immediately came over to ask about the incident involving the Mercedes-Benz picking someone up today.

Hao Ren only said that a relative who had just come back from abroad invited him for dinner, brushing them off without wanting to elaborate further.

"You've been looking lost and distracted lately. Did you get dumped"

In the evening, when Hao Ren was busy copying his homework, he suddenly received a text message from the class monitor, Xie Yujia's mobile phone.

"N-no. I’ve just been busy recently." Not expecting her to send him a message, Hao Ren thought for a moment before sending back a reply.

Drip-drip-drip... The phone that Hao Ren had placed on the table suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Xie Yujia calling, he reluctantly picked up the call.

"What happened today" Xie Yujia asked from the other end of the line.

"Oh, a relative who came back from overseas invited me to dinner. He surprised me so I didn’t know about it beforehand," Hao Ren explained.

"Where are you now" Xie Yujia continued asking.

“I’m in my dorm,” Hao Ren answered.

There was a brief pause before she suddenly asked, "Or would you like to go out for a walk The moonlight outside is quite beautiful."

Hao Ren’s heart skipped a beat at the unexpected invitation.

In his mind, Class Monitor Xie Yujia was a very popular girl. Not only did many boys in their class secretly have feelings for her, but even senior students had actively pursued her.

But if it weren’t for Zhao Jiayan and the others taking matters into their own hands three weeks prior to confess on Hao Ren’s behalf without telling him, Hao Ren wouldn't have such a strained relationship with Xie Yujia.

"Forget it. I’m really fine. I’ve got plenty of homework today; let's do this another time," Hao Ren said after some hesitation into the phone.

“Alright... If you need anything, feel free to tell me,” Xie Yujia paused for half a second before continuing: “No matter what, as your monitor, I should be concerned about you, right”

"Haha, thank you for the concern from the class monitor," Hao Ren couldn’t think of any other words.

“Okay.” Xie Yujia hung up the call.

Hao Ren put down his phone and suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

"Who were you on the phone with" Zhao Jiayan, who had just barged into the dorm room holding snacks, shouted at Hao Ren.

“Nothing,” Hao Ren smiled.

"You’ve been acting mysterious lately. What are you up to!" Zhao Jiayan came over and playfully poked Hao Ren.

While enduring Zhao Jiayan's playful punches, Hao Ren thought inwardly that if others were to see him walking around privately with the class monitor, who knows what they would think… Did Xie Yujia not consider this at all...

In the middle of the night, when Zhao Jiayan and the others were sound asleep, Hao Ren quietly climbed down from his bunk bed, opened the door silently, and walked out to the balcony.

The moonlight was bright.

Hao Ren took out Lu Qing's business card, looked at it for a while, and then put it back in his pocket.

Let me give it a try...

After standing steadily, Hao Ren faced the silent sky and silently thought about that chapter of the technique.

Golden characters appeared in Hao Ren's mind. He tried to understand their meaning one by one and gradually calmed his mind according to what was written above...

When he had finished everything, he quietly returned to the room and found that two hours had passed.

To have stood outside for two hours... even Hao Ren himself was surprised.

Whether it was psychological effect or not, after practicing, he felt his previously swollen painful arm return to normal.

Mind over matter, as long as I've practiced. To bed, time to rest. Suppressing all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, Hao Ren quickly fell asleep.

In the following days, life was as monotonous as flowing water. Everyone's attention towards Hao Ren, this ordinary classmate, gradually decreased, except for Xie Yujia who occasionally turned back to speak with the girls behind her and would glance at Hao Ren even further behind.

But every night when Hao Ren secretly went out onto the balcony to practice his "kung fu," he didn't find himself feeling invigorated. Even his strength gradually returned to its previous level, unable to defeat Zhou Liren in a wrist wrestle anymore.

The vice principal's business card was hidden away. Being watched by a vice principal was not a pleasant sensation.

A moment later it was Thursday. It was the day when all male students from the Department of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering were brimming with enthusiasm.

This was because there was a major second-year course: Weak Light Electrical Signal Processing.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Go grab a front-row seat!" After exiting the Advanced Mathematics classroom, Zhou Liren dragged Hao Ren and ran crazily towards the large lecture hall.

"Zhou Liren, save seats for us too!" Zhao Jiayin and Cao Ronghua shouted from behind.

Zhou Liren arrived at the classroom with near-light-speed speed but was disappointed to find that all of the front 15 rows of seats were already occupied by other male students.

"Too slow!" Zhou Liren grumbled as he picked a seat relatively in the middle and dragged Hao Ren to sit next to him, then saved seats for Zhao Jiayin and Cao Ronghua too.

"Damn, so far back!" Zhao Jiayin and Cao Ronghua panted heavily as they ran inside and seemed very unsatisfied with their seat.

"Others skipped class to grab these seats. What can I do" Zhou Liren said innocently.

"Didn't you claim that you'll only marry her You don’t even have the courage to skip a class..." Cao Ronghua teased him.

"Exactly, there was your class today and you were restless yesterday," Zhao Jiayin followed up.

"You guys are no different! You ran so fast!" Zhou Liren retorted.

Rumble...

At this moment, another batch of male students rushed into the classroom to grab seats. They had run a little slower than Hao Ren and could only obediently sit at the back.

Soon after, a few female students arrived late. Seeing that all the seats in front were occupied by boys, they could only sit at the very back.

Xie Yujia was among these girls. She exchanged glances with Hao Ren but didn’t say anything.

"You've been making eye contact with Xie Yujia a lot recently. Are you secretly in love" Cao Ronghua sensed something and asked Hao Ren.

"How can I be in love when I hang out with all of you every day" Hao Ren shot him an icy glance.

The classroom was noisy, filled not only with students from Hao Ren's class but also four other classes. Everyone was chattering, and the boys were particularly animated.

Ring… The bell rang.

A pair of elegant long legs in high-waisted shorts stepped into the room.

The boys gasped collectively.

In sky-blue light military-style double-breasted thin fabric high-waisted denim shorts, paired with a V-neck lace frill top, an extraordinarily beautiful lady carrying notes entered the classroom.

"Cute yet mature, mature yet innocent…" Zhou Liren stuck out his tongue and commented.

Amidst the continuous gasps from the boys, Hao Ren couldn’t help but look up. Indeed, today's Su Han was still dazzlingly beautiful and attractive even without trying to dress seductively; she could make a man’s blood boil.

Su Han walked slowly to the podium in her high heels.

The gaze of every male organism was locked on her, not sparing even Hao Ren who practiced so-called focusing mind techniques.

"Today we will cover Unit Three. Please turn to page 73 in your textbooks," a heavenly voice echoed through the classroom from the miniature microphone at Su Han’s chest.

"So blessed…" Zhou Liren appeared intoxicated, "If only every day was like this…"

She truly is very beautiful… Hao Ren gazed at her and couldn’t help but sigh internally. Her figure, looks, and attire were impeccable. What kind of boyfriend would such a woman choose Hao Ren wondered inwardly.

Although it was only the beginning of this semester and everyone had attended just a few of her classes so far, all the boys' hearts had been conquered by her.

Su Han’s teaching was indeed clear and well-structured, easy to understand. Even those girls couldn’t help but admit and admire that aspect.

The 90-minute lecture concluded, yet the guys remained entranced by Su Han's beauty.

However, everyone knew that this icy beauty never strayed from her curriculum or engaged in any unrelated chatter. She would not answer students' questions nor linger in the classroom after class for an extra minute. With each lesson, she would finish speaking the last word precisely when the bell rang and then leave.

"If I could just speak a single sentence to such a beautiful woman, I’d die happy," Zhou Liren, seeing Su Han about to depart, grasped Hao Ren’s arm and sighed in despair.

“The student next to me, please come with me to the office,” unexpectedly, Su Han didn’t step out of the classroom when the bell rang. Instead, she raised her delicate hands like jade shoots and pointed at Zhou Liren's direction, saying,

"Me" Zhou Liren happily stood up, almost overwhelmed by his happiness.

"No, the one beside you," Su Han’s finger moved slightly to the right, pointing at Hao Ren.say what would happen in a chaotic battle...In the Six-layer Heavens, who wouldn’t want to devour other sects But each sect has several Core Formation peak Ancestral Elders sitting in control, making...
