11: Walk The Fatty~Editor: Henyee Translations
There were many students on the second floor of the training building.
Wang Teng scanned his surroundings, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a familiar figure.
It was that agile fatty!
At this moment, just like the last time, he was sprinting on the running track.
So, the fatty had also become an intermediate stage martial disciple. No wonder Wang Teng didn't see him yesterday on the first floor. He had come to the second floor.
"Fatty, good morning!"
Wang Teng greeted the other party as though he was an old friend.
The fatty turned around when he heard the voice. His expression then instantly changed. "Why is it this fellow!"
He pretended to ignore Wang Teng and didn't reply to him. Instead, he started running faster.
Wang Teng watched him run like a madman. This fellow didn't know that he was dropping attributes behind him. But it made Wang Teng elated.
He executed his Basic Footwork and followed behind the fatty, picking up the attributes along the way.
Speed*6
Speed*7
Basic Footwork*3
Speed*6
…
After becoming an intermediate stage martial disciple, the fatty's dropping even more attributes. So, the more powerful you are, the more attribute bubbles you drop?
Wang Teng thought to himself.
In that case, he would definitely be able to pick up more attributes on the second floor. After all, everyone here was an intermediate stage martial disciple.
He believed that it wouldn't take long for him to break through and become an advanced stage martial disciple. He would be one step closer to becoming an official martial warrior then.
"Why are you following me so closely like a medicinal plaster? Is there an end to this?"
The indignant voice of the fatty in front pulled Wang Teng out of his deep thoughts.
"Haha, where's the fun in training alone? Why don't we have a competition? Let's see who can run ten rounds in the shortest time. What do you think? Do you want to compete?" asked Wang Teng.
The fatty wanted to reject him. But, he had a sudden thought, so he replied, "If you lose, you will stay away from me and let me train alone."
"Okay!"
Wang Teng agreed and continued, "What if you lose?"
"What a joke! How can I lose!" The fatty scoffed.
"Confidence is a good thing. However, since you raised a bet, I have mine too. Competition must be fair, right?" Wang Teng said.
"What do you want?" The fatty frowned and asked.
"Very simple. If you lose, you will sing this song 'Zhen Fu' (which means conquer in Chinese). What do you think?" Wang Teng asked.
"Alright. As long as you win, I can sing anything for you. Don't talk about one 'Zhen Fu'. I can sing ten songs for you." The fatty patted his chest and agreed.
Wang Teng sniggered in his heart. Ten songs? You would definitely be crying later.
"There's a timer at the side. Let me find someone to help us check the time."
The fatty walked to one side after he finished speaking and spoke a few sentences to a student who was training. He asked the student for help.
The student nodded and followed the fatty to the side of the running track.
"Both of you can prepare first. When I shout 'start', you will start running," the student standing beside the timer said.
The two participants nodded.
The fatty started preparing for the sprint. He shook his legs to relax his muscles, but in the end, only his fat shuddered violently.
The other students also gathered around the running track when they saw two students having a competition.
However, they couldn't help but laugh upon seeing the fatty's fats shaking.
"This fatty went to learn footwork and speed even though he is so fat. I wonder what he's thinking."
"But, honestly speaking, he does have some ability. He's faster than a rabbit when he runs."
…
Upon hearing the discussions from the side, the fatty felt pleased with himself. He gave Wang Teng a provocative look and stood up straight without moving. He didn't even get into the starting position.
Wang Teng smiled. He copied his actions, standing still on the spot. At the same time, he asked casually, "Fatty, what's your name?"
"My name is Wu Liang!" The fatty pointed to his nose and said, "You must remember it in case you don't even know who you lost to."
After he finished, he continued asking, "What about you?"
"Wang Teng. Remember to sing 'Zhen Fu' after you lose!" Wang Teng smiled and said.
"Tsk!" Wu Liang rolled his eyes in contempt.
Right then, a shout was suddenly heard from the side.
"Ready… start!"
Wang Teng and the fatty were talking to each other, but the moment the voice fell, they dashed out simultaneously.
The expressions of the people at the side changed slightly. Both of them had moved like lightning. In an instant, they were more than ten meters away.
They maintained their high speed as they continued running. They didn't bother to save their stamina for the last burst of fire just because they were running ten rounds.
This was a timed competition, and they were competing based on time. Also, people who practiced martial arts had great stamina. Running ten rounds wasn't a big deal to them.
Wu Liang might be fat, but he wasn't slow at all. Instead, his speed exceeded the spectators'. There weren't many who could practice their footwork and speed to his stage.
This was the reason why everyone's expression changed instantly.
As expected of a fatty who ran like the wind.
This was the exclamation in many people's minds.
But, when they looked at Wang Teng, they looked extra shocked.
They understood the fatty's abilities, so they accepted his speed as a matter of fact, even though they were surprised. However, Wang Teng was an unfamiliar face. It was highly likely he had just become an intermediate stage martial disciple.
Yet, this newly advanced intermediate stage martial disciple's speed was on par with Wu Liang. This was amazing.
Wait, they remembered that Wu Liang had also just become an intermediate stage martial disciple!
He only came to the second floor yesterday.
In that case, these two people were both fresh newbies!
Were the newbies all the fierce nowadays?
How were old people like them supposed to live?
It was indeed true; the younger generations would excel the older generation, leaving no paths for the older generation.
A wave of sorrow surged through the hearts of a few intermediate stage martial disciples.
"This newbie is slightly weaker than Wu Liang," someone commented.
"That's hard to say. Although he's lagging, the distance between him and the fatty is the same. Didn't you notice that he's never more than 20 meters behind the fatty?"
"Hey, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed."
They looked at Wang Teng in astonishment. When they observed him carefully, they could tell that he didn't seem tired at all.
Indeed, Wang Teng wasn't giving it his all. He was trailing Wu Liang because he wanted to pick up the attribute bubbles.
Also, the whole purpose of this competition was to let Wu Liang drop more attributes.
He had gotten some basic understanding of his bug. If he wanted to let these 'small monsters' drop more attributes, he needed to make them train harder. Or…
He could hit them. The harder he hit them, the more attributes they might drop!
He had received the inspiration for the last point from the sinister-looking youth. But, this hypothesis still needed affirmation.
After all, he couldn't find a random person and beat him up, right?
To get rid of Wang Teng, Wu Liang was exceptionally serious about this competition. He used more effort, so naturally, more attributes dropped. He was dropping them like laying eggs the entire way.
Basic Footwork*2
Speed*5
Speed*6
Basic Footwork*4
Speed*7
…
Wang Teng felt that he was playing 'Temple Run', and the attribute bubbles were like the gold coins.
He could almost hear the ringing sounds when he collected a bubble.
As Wang Teng ran and collected the attributes, his own attributes kept rising. He didn't feel tired the entire way. Instead, he felt more and more energetic.
This was why he dared to compete with the fatty. He was cheating, and it would be embarrassing if he still lost.
When the onlookers saw Wang Teng revealing a smile on the corners of his lips, their expressions turned strange.
This fellow was walking a dog—no wait, he was walking the fatty!
All he lacked was a chain.
Wu Liang didn't notice anything weird, though. When he saw that Wang Teng was always lagging behind him, he looked back and laughed. "This is so simple. I told you that you're not my match. Why are you making yourself suffer!"
Swoosh~
The moment he finished speaking, a figure dashed past beside him.
The smile on the fatty's face froze. His mouth dropped, and he opened his eyes wide. He couldn't say anything for a long while.
"F**k!"
12: Crazy About DuelsEditor: Henyee Translations
Wu Liang was frustrated.
"You're so treacherous. You were preserving your strength all these while and only released it at the last stage. You made me happy for no reason!"
Wang Teng sniggered and said, "Who was the one who was so confident at the start?
"Also, I wanted to save some of your ego, so I let you be in the lead for a while before catching up at the end."
"Hmph~ Why should I believe you? You bad old man, you're so evil." Wu Liang snorted.
(〒〈〒)
Why did I become a bad old man?
"Fine. Do you dare to admit your loss? If you do, I won't ask you to fulfill your bet with me." Wang Teng was speechless.
"Who says that I can't admit my defeat. All I have to do is sing the song 'Zhen Fu', right? What's there to be afraid of?" Wu Liang straightened his neck.
"Go ahead and sing, then! The flowers are drooping from waiting." Wang Teng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
Wu Liang instantly looked as though he had eaten a fly. The expression on his fat face kept changing.
He couldn't put down his ego and sing the song, but on the other hand, he didn't want other people to think that he couldn't accept losing either.
His entire expression could be described in one word—dilemma!
In the end, he admitted defeat while looking like a deflated balloon. He started singing with the voice of a mosquito.
"I can't hear you!" Wang Teng placed his hand beside his ear and pretended that he couldn't hear properly.
Wu Liang was furious. After taking a long, deep breath, he increased his volume.
"This is how I got conquered by you…"
"Hahaha!"
The people around them burst out laughing. This fatty was tone deaf!
But, they felt sorry for him too.
He had to sing 'Zhen Fu' in front of so many people. This must be black history in his life.
Wang Teng was really evil. He actually pranked someone like this.
Wang Teng couldn't help but laugh too. He waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine, stop singing. Your voice will frighten little children!"
Wu Liang replied, "Don't! I still need to sing ten songs!"
This time, it was Wang Teng's turn to feel speechless.
This fatty was a little cunning!
"This is how I got conquered by you…" Wu Liang got even more motivated when he saw Wu Liang's frustrated look.
"Get off!"
Wang Teng ran away like his life depended on it. Damn it, his voice was too terrifying!
The fatty was fun to play with, but he was too cunning.
Too much was always not good. Since he was a good pastime, he would play with him slowly in the future.
The fatty looked around the same age as him, yet he was already an intermediate stage martial disciple. This meant that he had the talent.
He might become a martial warrior in the future.
He was a fat sheep full of potential. Wang Teng could milk this fatty as his long-term dueling buddy!
The students gathering around ran away in fright. They hid far away and discussed with one another for some time. While they marveled at the young men's abilities, their competitiveness was ignited too. All of them started practicing even harder.
As a result, there were already many attribute bubbles littering the second floor, as if it was raining here.
Wang Teng walked over and picked all of them up like a Good Samaritan. He also greeted the other students.
Speed*6
Strength*7
Basic Fist Skill*3
Strength*5
Basic Blade Skill*6
…
After another round of upgrading his attributes, he stopped in front of a student practicing his fist skill, observing the young man for a long time.
When the student finished his session, he stopped to take a rest.
Wang Teng took the chance and walked forward, "Senior Brother, shall we have a duel?"
The young man looked a little older than Wang Teng and seemed to be slightly above 20.
He was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Teng's challenge. He replied, "You're Wang Teng, right? I am Zhang Shaoyang.
"I saw you competing with Wu Liang just now and am a little interested in you. Since you brought it up yourself, let's have a duel."
"Senior Brother Zhang, please!"
The two of them stood in an empty area and distanced themselves. Wang Teng raised his hand to ask Zhang Shaoyang to start.
"I will not be polite then."
Zhang Shaoyang clenched his fist and stomped his leg, darting towards Wang Teng first.
Bang, bang, bang…
The duo got right down to it. Wang Teng didn't use other battle techniques, only employing his footwork and fist skills to fight with Zhang Shaoyang.
As their fists went back and forth, the fight looked violent and fierce. If they were hit, their punches would directly land on their muscles.
Zhang Shaoyang was slightly surprised. He was a muscular man. One look and you could tell that he was a bulky guy.
However, Wang Teng was wearing loose sportswear, so the muscles on his body weren't prominent. From his appearance, he just looked like an ordinary youth.
But when he started fighting for real, he was full of explosive power.
It didn't feel compatible at all!
Also, Wang Teng's ability astounded him too. A moment ago, he thought that Wang Teng was already quick with his footwork. Now, he felt that he needed to retract his judgment.
Wang Teng's fist skill wasn't weaker than him.
This fellow seems to be a genius! Zhang Shaoyang thought to himself.
They were like a Roland for an Oliver, evenly matched. They fought back and forth, and for a moment, no one won or lost.
"Zhang Shaoyang's Basic Fist Skill has reached the big achievement stage. Yet, Wang Teng isn't at a disadvantage after fighting for so long."
The students standing far away didn't have high hopes for Wang Teng initially. Hence, they didn't take much notice when he challenged Zhang Shaoyang. They thought that it would end within a few rounds.
But, the reality was unexpected. The two of them fought for a long while, without any results.
"Could it be that Zhang Shaoyang didn't try his best?" Someone was puzzled.
"Are you stupid? Look at Zhang Shaoyang. Does he look like he's not trying his best?" Another felt speechless.
…
"I'm not fighting anymore. I'm not fighting anymore!"
Zhang Shaoyang quickly waved his hands after the two of them collided and retreated a few steps.
"Why don't you want to fight anymore?" Wang Teng was unwilling to stop.
"Your fist skill is on par with me. There won't be any outcomes if we continue fighting. Instead, we might lose too much energy, affecting our training for the entire day," said Zhang Shaoyang.
"Also, if you didn't compete with Wu Liang, I would have lost already."
"Alright, let's not go further than necessary. We will have more chances to duel in the future," replied Wang Teng.
"Okay. I learned many things after fighting with you." Zhang Shaoyang nodded.
Wang Teng went to the side to rest and restore his stamina. At the same time, he counted the gains from his duel.
Basic Fist Skill*23
Strength*45
As expected, his guess was correct. Fighting with 'monsters' would make them drop attributes. The harder they fought, the more attributes they dropped, especially attributes like Basic Fist Skill. They would never drop so much when they were practicing.
"So this is the correct way to use my bug!"
While strolling around the training room, Wang Teng slowly regained his stamina. At the same time, he also picked up the attributes from the other students.
Half an hour later, most of his stamina was restored.
He went to the weapons room to pick a sword. Then, he came in front of a student practicing sword skills and said, "Senior Brother, are you free to test my sword skills?"
"Okay!" The other party was decisive and nodded in agreement.
More and more students arrived at the training arena. However, only those who came earlier knew that two duels had happened before this.
"That Wang Teng is having a duel with another person again. This time, he's using his sword skill!"
A student that just came felt puzzled. "What's the matter? This student looks unfamiliar. Is he new?"
Another student started explaining to him.
On the other side, Wang Teng and the other young man had already started fighting. Their long swords collided, letting out sparks and metallic clangs.
A sword duel was naturally more dangerous, but both parties knew their limits well. They wouldn't intentionally hurt the other party.
When the duel ended, Wang Teng gained many attributes as expected. He rested at the side.
Basic Sword Skill*26
Strength*30
…
An hour later, Wang Teng found a student practicing blade skill and cupped his fists at the young man. "Senior Brother, my blade is extremely thirsty now. Let's have a duel."
"Alright, my blade couldn't keep itself down anymore too!"
The two of them looked exceptionally serious. They were sparks in their eyes as they looked at each other~
…
The other students were already numb.
Wu Liang was one of them. He suddenly felt pity for the student Wang Teng found when he looked at him.
This Wang Teng was crazy about duels. He knew all the battle techniques, and the result was always a draw…
He must be a monster!
13: Advanced Stage Martial DiscipleEditor: Henyee Translations
For the entire morning, besides picking up the attributes other people dropped, Wang Teng also looked for them for duels.
Footwork, fist skill, sword skill, and blade skill. As long as he knew something, he would find others to challenge them.
His nickname, duel fanatic, started spreading among the students unknowingly. No one knew who started this nickname, though.
"You better make sure that I don't know who that bastard is!"
When Wang Teng heard someone calling him by this nickname, his entire face turned black.
What the f**k!
What grudges do we have? Why do you have to frame me like this?
"Ah… choo!"
The fatty, Wu Liang, was eating his lunch in the cafeteria. Suddenly, he sneezed uncontrollably.
He choked, and the rice in his mouth flew up to his nose. Next, the rice bits flowed down his nose with his mucus, painting a disgusting scenery.
He rubbed his nose and said with frustration, "Why did I sneeze for no reason? Is someone scolding me behind my back? How mean."
…
Wang Teng looked at his attributes panel. The gains on the second floor were huge. In one morning, most of his attributes were close to an advanced stage martial disciple.
Enlightenment: 35
Physique: 66
Strength: 621
Speed: 323
Battle Techniques: Basic Fist Skill (big achievement), Basic Footwork (big achievement), Basic Sword Skill (big achievement), Basic Blade Skill (small achievement)
The requirements for an advanced stage martial disciple were physique 70, strength 700 kg, and speed 100 meters in 5 seconds.
He just needed to work harder in the afternoon, and a fresh new advanced stage martial disciple would come out of the oven!
His basic battle techniques were also upgraded by a level. His fist skill, sword skill, and footwork had advanced from the small achievement stage to the big achievement stage. His blade skill changed from the well-versed to the small achievement stage.
In short, his ability had undergone a tremendous change.
Unfortunately, he didn't pick up any new battle techniques today. It seemed that most people chose these few battle techniques to practice and master.
Wang Teng walked out of the training building and headed to the cafeteria of the martial arts academy.
He had learned from Zhang Shaoyang and a few other students that the Jixin Martial House also had a cafeteria.
As long as one had the money, one could eat anything. Even if you wanted to eat star beast dishes, they had it!
These star beasts were all killed by the martial warriors from the martial arts academy and sold to the academy in exchange for points or money. Hence, the martial arts academy had an abundant array of star beasts ingredients as compared to other places.
It included rare star beasts that weren't sold outside at all.
The martial arts academy had specially hired Force chef masters to attend to these ingredients.
Force chef was a secondary career derived from the martial warriors.
Every single Force chef must have the Force in their bodies. If anyone wanted to cultivate with the Force, they needed to be a martial warrior.
A martial warrior as a chef? Would anyone dare to think about that?
However, the dishes cooked by a Force chef master weren't ordinary. They would benefit martial warriors when they cultivated.
The methods of preparations and the dishes all came from the Xingwu Continent. Even this career title originated from there.
The salary of Force chef masters was high, and there were no dangers. Many martial warriors pursued and flattered Force chefs because they wanted to eat Force dishes. Hence, the status of Force chef masters was actually rather high.
On the way to the cafeteria, Wang Teng asked Zhang Shaoyang curiously, "So, you're saying that the cafeteria of the Jixin Martial House provides Force dishes?"
Zhang Shaoyang explained, "Yes. Our Jixin Martial House is one of the top three martial arts academies in China. Naturally, we have the ability to hire Force chef masters.
"Today, after many experiments and trial and error by the Force chefs on the earth, new dishes were created based on the ones from the Otherworld. An entire system of Force dishes cuisine was formed.
"But, these Force dishes from the Otherworld are only available on the third floor of the cafeteria. Normally, only martial warriors will go there. Average students can't afford them."
Wang Teng nodded. He was shocked as he asked, "Oh? We can still see martial warriors?"
"We can see them, but not many. Most of the martial warriors are exploring the Xingwu Continent during normal times or executing some missions released by the martial arts academies. They won't spend much time in the martial arts academy," Zhang Shaoyang elaborated.
Wang Teng nodded as he continued to expand his knowledge. "Are Force dishes expensive?"
"They are not just expensive. Usually, Force dishes cost tens of thousands. They are difficult to prepare, and the ingredients are rare. Some of them even cost a few million or tens of millions. They are extremely expensive," Zhang Shaoyang exclaimed.
Oh my god, even Michelin chefs aren't so outrageous.
Wang Teng was flabbergasted.
Did one meal cost a few million or tens of millions? Were martial warriors all so wealthy?
Of course, he didn't go to the third floor of the cafeteria. He went to eat on the first floor with Zhang Shaoyang and a few other students.
A few million for a meal, Wang Teng wasn't so extravagant.
Even if he wanted to eat, he would wait until he became a martial warrior and was able to earn a hundred million easily. At that time, he could let his parents have a taste of the Force dishes too.
After eating, he rested for an hour.
Then, he continued training in the afternoon.
Wang Teng grabbed his thirsty blade and started dueling with the student. He mainly looked for those practicing Basic Blade Skills.
Among all his battle techniques, only his blade skill was at the small achievement stage.
A human had to be fair. He mustn't favor any skill more than the others. Hence, he decided to raise his basic blade skill to the big achievement stage first.
Time flew in the afternoon. In a blink of an eye, a few hours had passed. All of Wang Teng's attributes had broken through the threshold of an advanced stage martial disciple.
That meant that he had finally become an advanced stage martial disciple.
Among the martial disciples, he was part of the elites now. He was a slightly stronger nobody.
His basic blade skill had also reached the big achievement stage.
However, his footwork, fist skill, and sword skill accidentally reached the perfected stage. They flung the basic blade skill behind them again.
What happened to fairness?
Basic Blade Skill: 'Wronged emoticon'
Everything seems to be rising a little too quickly! Wang Teng felt helpless in his heart.
His life was so lonely!
Wang Teng decided to continue staying on the second floor for a few more days. He would still be able to raise his attributes.
There might be more attributes for him to collect on the third floor, but a few days wouldn't make any difference.
At night, Wang Teng returned home and had dinner with his parents. Then, he went back to the Jixin Martial House to pick up attributes.
He worked until 11 pm before he finally returned home.
After bathing, he laid on the bed and silently opened his attributes panel to take a look.
Enlightenment: 43
Physique: 84
Strength: 964
Speed: 533
Battle Techniques: Basic Fist Skill (perfected), Basic Footwork (perfected), Basic Sword Skill (perfected), Basic Blade Skill (big achievement)
Not bad. Looking at his attributes, he was above average among the advanced stage martial disciples.
As long as Wang Teng didn't meet an official martial warrior, he would be able to protect himself.
He was immersed in his thoughts as he laid on his bed. After some time, he slowly slipped into the dreamland.
The next day, Wang Teng woke up early as usual. It was Monday, so he needed to go to school.
He almost forgot that he was still a senior high student.
Although he just got reborn, he still had the mindset of an adult. Coincidentally, it was the weekend, so he went to practice his martial arts. He didn't do things that a senior high student should do.
In the morning, everyone sat down together to have breakfast.
Wang Shengguo ate some porridge and said, "Although you're practicing martial arts now, you can't forget about your schoolwork. There's a martial arts course at university. If you're able to become an advanced stage martial disciple before the university entrance exam, you can apply for it."
It would be a good choice if he could enter a military academy. After he graduated, he would at least be a major or above.
"In this day, the military ranks are closely related to one's martial arts. However, until now, only martial warriors who graduated from recognized military academies are given military titles. Martial warrior graduates from normal universities won't have this special privilege."
Wang Teng nodded and started contemplating.
The country was the best protection. If he could enter a military academy and receive a military rank after he graduated, it was a good solution too.
Of course, even if he entered a normal university, there would be many benefits for martial warriors. Regular academies also had formed their own factions.
The amount of protection every martial warrior faction gave to their own martial warriors was undeniable. Also, the martial warriors were given more freedom.
All in all, each had its own benefit.
It seemed that if there was a possibility, he should get into a good university. He had a bug, but he needed time to grow too.
Before he became someone powerful enough to disregard all rules, the best solution was to find strong support.
The problem was, whether it was his past life or the current one, he had never studied properly in school. His school results were atrocious…
14: In The Past, You Placed The Prettiest Lady In School Beside Me SideEditor: Henyee Translations
Wang Shengguo chatted with Wang Teng as he ate his breakfast.
In the past, he wouldn't have listened to his father at all. Now, he listened really carefully and started pondering over his father's words.
"He has grown up…"
Wang Shengguo felt content. Wang Teng's performance was vastly different these two days.
He used to hear other people telling him that their child suddenly grew up and became mature. He could only smile bitterly in response. He felt that his useless son wouldn't be able to mature before he turned 30.
As his father, he was really worried for him!
Yet, now, Wang Shengguo managed to wait until the day arrived!
Sob~ this is too touching. His sternness was finally starting to take effect. He didn't waste his effort being a strict father.
Wang Shengguo finished his porridge and wiped his mouth. He said with a serious expression, "The university entrance exam is a turning point in life. I hope that you can think about it properly.
"I'm informing you about this not because I want you to take the exam this year.
"The university entrance exam is just around the corner. Your studies are bad and you only started practicing martial arts recently, so there's no hope of you taking the exam this year. We can only wait until next year or the year after.
"The Ministry of Education has a rule. You can register for the martial arts course anytime before you turn 20. Hence, you have two chances to repeat your high school.
"As long as you can become an advanced stage martial disciple before you are 20, you will have the chance to register for the martial arts course. I can hire tutors to help you with your studies and give you specialized tutoring. There will be a good chance for you to enter university."
He looked at Wang Teng after he finished speaking with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He hoped that his song would have a bright future!
This was probably the wish all parents had for their children. This might be a form of love.
Wang Teng slowly finished the fried dough stick in his hand under Wang Shengguo's gaze. Then, he raised his head and smiled. "Dad, maybe we won't have to wait until next year."
When he saw Wang Teng's smile, Wang Shengguo knew that his son was listening to what he just said. But why did he feel like scolding him upon hearing his words?
He couldn't help but laugh and say, "It's good to have confidence, but please don't act in front of your father, your little brat."
He didn't believe that Wang Teng was able to pass his university entrance exam this year.
"This child is getting naughtier and naughtier."
Li Xiumei took the coat on the clothing rack and passed it to Wang Shengguo as she complained sweetly.
"I won't be arranging a driver for you today. You can drive or take public transport. It's up to you." Wang Shengguo took over the coat and left the house.
Wang Teng was speechless. Was he very worrying in the past? His father always asked someone to fetch him to school and escort him home afterward, fearing that he would fool around outside.
He shook his head and bade farewell to his mother. "Mom, I've finished eating. I will be leaving."
"Okay. Be careful on the way."
…
Wang Teng drove his car and reached Donghai No. 1 High School in 20 minutes. He found a space to park his car and started walking towards his classroom.
Well… if he remembered correctly, he should be in year three class eight.
The year three classroom building.
Most of the students here seemed to be in a hurry. The atmosphere here was much tenser than the classroom buildings for year one and year two.
When he reached his classroom, many students were already studying hard.
Most of them moved their lips as they silently recited their textbooks. They didn't make any sound to avoid disturbing others.
Wang Teng's arrival seemed highly conspicuous in the quiet classroom. A few students raised their heads with a tinge of surprise in their gazes.
But, they didn't think too much.
This rich second generation probably woke up early accidentally.
He will most likely resume his usual late arrivals tomorrow.
These few thoughts flashed through the minds of several students in unplanned unison. They hurriedly lowered their heads and continued what they were doing after that.
When Wang Teng walked into the classroom, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Attribute bubbles!
A few bubbles had dropped beside a few students.
He watched as one of the female students silently recited her textbook and a small bubble appeared on her lips. As she continued, the bubble slowly became bigger…
Then, it dropped on the floor with a 'splat'.
She really looked like a goldfish blowing bubbles.
Wang Teng was in a trance. You could drop bubbles when you are studying?
He always thought that only martial arts had attributes. From the looks of it, that wasn't the case.
He walked over calmly and collected the attributes.
Language*10
English*15
Biology*12
Chemistry*15
…
The next moment, Wang Teng smiled. A second ago, he was still worried that he wouldn't be able to study well. Now, the study attributes came like rain in a drought.
His bug was really amazing!
After he collected the attributes, relevant knowledge started appearing in his mind.
He felt as though he had learned all of this before. They had merged into his memory and would never disappear.
Wang Teng sat down beside the lady that blew the bubble just now.
Indeed, this was Wang Teng's table buddy.
This lady was their class monitor, Lin Chuhan. She came from a normal family, but she was an ultimate star student. She had the chance to enter the top universities in China.
One was a rich second generation who couldn't study, while the other was an average civilian who was a star student.
By right, there was no way these two people could sit together. But, their headteacher, Fan Weiming, arranged their seating like this.
He claimed that he did this so that the good student could teach her poor fellow classmate.
Hence, the best student, Lin Chuhan, had to teach the worst student, Wang Teng.
Old Fan's unexpected move almost caused all the students in the class to sprain their backs.
He wasn't afraid that this would affect Lin Chuhan and this star student might go astray because of Wang Teng. There was a chance that she could enter the best university in the country.
Of course, Lin Chuhan's appearance was another reason why everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
This was such a good and pretty little flower. Old Fan was committing a crime by placing her beside such an unworthy person.
Unfortunately, no one dared to voice out their anger.
Wang Teng was a rich second generation who would be inheriting hundreds of millions of assets in the future. They couldn't afford to offend him.
However, everyone was surprised by Wang Teng. Although he was incompetent in his studies, he didn't disturb Lin Chuhan.
They had been table buddies for more than a year, and Lin Chuhan's results remained the same. She was always number one, never dropping in rank.
Also, because of Wang Teng, many male students didn't dare to disturb Lin Chuhan. This gave her a quiet learning environment.
Who knew that this might be a blessing in disguise.
Wang Teng looked at Lin Chuhan, and a memory floated into his mind.
He was just starting his year three in high school.
One night, Wang Shengguo suddenly told Wang Teng proudly, "Son, I gave some gifts to your headteacher so that he will arrange the best student to sit beside you. You should learn from her properly.
"That's right. Don't bully the young lady. If I know, I will break your leg. Do you understand!"
Wang Teng was frozen on the spot when he heard this piece of news.
Especially when he saw Old Wang's proud expression, he felt speechless.
You placed the prettiest lady in school beside me, but you don't allow me to touch her. Are you my biological father?
This is too cruel!
Despite complaining, Wang Teng didn't dare disobey Wang Shengguo. Hence, he remained as Lin Chuhan's obedient and good table buddy for a year.
O(╯□╰)o…
15: Did I Do Something Wrong?Editor: Henyee Translations
Whether it was his past life or this one, Wang Shengguo always made things hard for his son.
In his past life, Wang Teng was Lin Chuhan's table buddy for one year. The prettiest young lady in school was right in front of him, yet he couldn't touch her. It felt highly frustrating.
After they graduated from senior high, Lin Chuhan went to the Capital Xia and studied at the First Capital University.
After that, he heard that she went overseas to further her studies and came back three years later. At that time, she displayed exceptional business talent and built a huge franchise all over the country within a few years. Her company was looking to go international. She became a powerful boss in the business world in that era and became an amazing person.
He recalled her life and looked back at his…
He felt like a salted fish lying in front of a whale, a salted fish that laid in front of her for an entire year.
Wang Teng lowered his gaze and looked at Lin Chuhan's lean legs. He had the urge to go forward and hug them tightly.
These beautiful legs felt as though they were encased in gold.
Honestly speaking, this young lady's figure was perfect.
Lin Chuhan was reciting her textbook when she suddenly felt an intense gaze landing on her legs. She frowned uncontrollably.
"Hmph!"
A snort woke Wang Teng up from his daze.
Wang Teng looked at Lin Chuhan's cold face and touched his nose. He laughed softly and retracted his gaze.
"Why is he still laughing? This fellow is so irritating," Lin Chuhan muttered softly to herself.
Wang Teng shook his head. He had experienced two lifetimes, but he was still so easily distracted. That was embarrassing.
He took out his phone and planned to look up information regarding the university entrance exam.
What Wang Shengguo said in the morning had made him see the university entrance exam in a new light.
Wang Teng always thought that after he became a martial warrior, his status would be different. He wouldn't need to participate in the university entrance exam.
He didn't know that there were so many things he had to do and understand even after he became a martial warrior.
Fortunately, Wang Shengguo had reminded him in time. If not, he might have missed the university entrance exam this year.
He searched casually, and a whole bunch of information on the university entrance exam jumped out.
It had to be said this world and the world in his past life had some minor differences. If you didn't look at it carefully, you wouldn't be able to find them.
For instance, this planet wasn't named Earth. It was called the Earth Star instead.
For instance, their country was called Huaxia (an ancient name for China), and the capital was called Capital University. The First Capital University was a university situated in the Capital.
Donghai was similar to Shanghai. Donghai University and Capital Xia University were both top universities in the country.
The time of the university entrance exam had changed too, from June to the 5th of July. That was because this was the day martial arts started gaining popularity in public.
Today, the martial arts examination was the most crucial part of the university entrance exam. So, the test was held on this special day with a special meaning.
Wang Teng did more research on the registration for the martial arts course.
The martial arts examination was very different from the routine examination.
Martial arts wasn't just about testing your language, mathematics, English, and Science. It included the human anatomy, the history of martial arts, spirit herbs studies, mineralogy, and other various bits and pieces.
The Ministry of Education had compiled all these bits of knowledge into a book called 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers'.
Anyone that wanted to take the martial arts course would get one copy of this book.
Wang Teng looked at the name with a weird expression. He wondered if he should get his hands on one too. After thinking for a moment, he decided to give up.
It was impossible for him to learn everything. He had to rely on picking up attributes.
There were five advanced stage martial disciples in Donghai No. 1 High School. They would definitely take the martial arts examination, and they would have most likely studied the 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers'.
He could find time to visit them and pick up some attributes. This way, Wang Teng could collate more points for the proficiency of the ''Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers'.
If that wasn't enough, there were other students from other schools taking the martial arts course. He could look for them and collect some bubbles.
Wang Teng came up with a good plan.
"This fellow came so early, but he's actually playing with his phone."
When Lin Chuhan saw Wang Teng fiddling with his phone the entire morning, she frowned again. She said in a low voice, "Wang Teng, come out with me for a moment."
After dropping her words, she stood up directly and walked out of the classroom.
Wang Teng was still pondering over the martial arts examination, so he was at a loss when he heard Lin Chuhan.
But as he looked at the other party's back as she walked out of the classroom, he got up and followed her.
Forget it, since you're pretty, I will give you some response!
Wang Teng kept his phone and placed his hands in his pocket. He casually walked out of the class and saw Lin Chuhan waiting for him around a corner.
"What's the matter, Class Monitor Lin?" Wang Teng looked at the beautiful face in front of him and asked.
"Wang Teng, there's less than a month until the university entrance exam. Why are you still playing every day? Are you not planning to take the university entrance exam?" Lin Chuhan asked with a cold expression.
"Even you know that there's only less than a month until the examination. What's the point of working hard now?" Wang Teng said in a joking manner.
Wang Teng's nonchalant tone made Lin Chuhan unhappy.
Her brows furrowed. In the end, she controlled her temper and said, "I have some notes. Although there's less than a month, if you work hard, you might be able to score some points in the entrance exam. Your family background is good. It shouldn't be difficult for you to get into a good university."
"Class Monitor Lin, why are you so concerned about me?" Wang Teng suddenly asked.
"Don't think too highly of yourself," Lin Chuhan replied without any expressions.
What do you mean by I care about you? How can there be someone so shameless?
"Why are you worried about my university entrance exam then?" Wang Teng continued asking.
"The headteacher let you sit beside me because he wants me to help you with your studies. It's alright if you didn't listen to me in the past. However, the university entrance exam is coming, so I'm reminding you sincerely one last time," Lin Chuhan explained.
"Any explanation is a cover-up," Wang Teng teased her.
"I…" Lin Chuhan was stunned by his shamelessness. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She continued in frustration, "I'm persuading you because we are table buddies. You can choose whether you want to listen to me or not. If you can't enter university, it has nothing to do with me."
She turned around and wanted to go back to the classroom. However, she didn't see the broom that had fallen on the ground because of her brisk pace. She tripped over the broom and staggered.
Oh shit, there's nothing for me to hold onto.
Lin Chuhan had a huge shock. But the next second, she felt someone hugging her body.
Wang Teng had noticed the strange feeling in his hand too. He froze for a moment.
"Hurry up and let go!"
Lin Chuhan wanted to cry.
"Do you really want me to let go?" said Wang Teng.
"Let go!" Lin Chuhan said firmly.
"Okay…" Then, Wang Teng released his grip…
He let go of his hand…
"Ahh!" Lin Chuhan fell with her face landing flat on the ground.
"Class monitor, you were the one who asked me to let go," Wang Teng said honestly.
Lin Chuhan raised one hand from the ground and pointed at Wang Teng. Her finger kept trembling.
"Erm… are you alright?" Wang Teng bent down beside her and asked carefully.
Lin Chuhan raised her head. Her hair was in a mess, and her exquisite nose, as well as her forehead, was entirely red.
She looked so hopeless!
"Wang Teng, you bastard!"
She got up from the ground and ran away without turning back.
She felt so embarrassed!
Wang Teng looked at Lin Chuhan's back view as she ran further and further away. His expression was a little awkward. Did he do something wrong?
