Upon hearing Wang Zheng's rude remarks once again, Chu Jingnan's spiritual energy began to surge even more violently.

The electric current surrounding him was increasing and flashing wildly, and the sparks crackled and popped as they struck the air around him.

"What, is there some good stuff you're hiding? You're all thinking of bypassing me and going straight to someone to customize it?"

Wang Zheng quickly waved his hand.

"Teacher Chu, please don't misunderstand. I'm just a small-minded person. I won't feel at ease until I see it with my own eyes. Please stop using your supernatural powers. The beasts here have had their fur charred by electricity, so they can only be sold as materials and won't be worth anything."

"You know it's worthless!"

Seeing Wang Zheng back down, Chu Jingnan snorted coldly and gave up.

He then pulled a handkerchief from his collar, wiped his glasses, turned and walked away, saying as he went:

"You're lucky, kid. Come on, I need to see that guy surnamed Ou later. He's the one who modified your hammer. If you want, come along."

Wang Zheng cursed inwardly. This Da Chu was such a show-off. He acted even more arrogantly than Old Chu. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the top leader of Nanjing University. He was so pretentious. Wasn't he afraid of getting beaten up when he went out?

If it weren't for the fact that someone else was holding my academic credits, I would have definitely helped Old Man Chu beat him up today and settled the score with him properly.

Despite his inner grumbling, Wang Zheng still scurried after Chu Jingnan after hearing his words.

Perhaps it's related to Wang Zheng's vision, or perhaps he's just naturally a reckless person.

He doesn't see himself as a strong person at all; on the contrary, he keeps a very humble attitude and even wishes that no one would know his strength.

As long as there are real benefits, what's a few spirit crystals worth of face?

After Wang Zheng followed Chu Jingnan out of the huge test base, he saw Chu Jingnan turn into lightning and didn't hesitate. He immediately summoned Chiyun and followed after him at a leisurely pace.

Chu Jingnan learned from his father that Wang Zheng had the ability to fly and wanted to test Wang Zheng's leg strength.

He quickly channeled his spiritual energy, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot out and disappeared into the horizon. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he arrived at his destination. After turning back into human form, he turned his head and looked...

He then noticed that Wang Zheng was standing with his hands behind his back, closely following behind him, while his thieving eyes were constantly scanning around, showing the appearance of a curious child.

Chu Jingnan now understands how this kid managed to run back from Yunnan.

While marveling at Wang Zheng's flying speed, he also felt a deep sense of regret.

If Wang Zheng were a bit older and more composed, judging by his air of soaring through the clouds, he would definitely be a master of showing off.

However, his shifty eyes completely ruined this otherworldly feeling.

No sooner had I turned my head than this kid shamelessly came over.

"Professor Chu, why did we stop? Have we arrived? This looks like the faculty dormitory of Nanjing University. Is this the place where the equipment manufacturing master you mentioned lives?"

Wang Zheng followed Chu Jingnan all the way to the easternmost part of Nanjing University's campus and stopped, feeling puzzled.

At first, he thought that such a master would usually live in seclusion in the wilderness, or at the very least, live in the experimental base in the back mountain.

Could it be that Master Ou's processing equipment and weapons are also here?

"That shouldn't be the case," Wang Zheng thought, looking at the beautiful surroundings below. "This doesn't look like a processing workshop at all."

Chu Jingnan, who was secretly competing with himself and had even lost the speed contest, was quite annoyed and immediately cursed in a huff:

"Does a master have to work non-stop? You students have winter break, can't a master take a break? Besides, he's a part of Nanjing University, is there a problem with him living in the faculty area?"

Wang Zheng thought about it and realized that he had been misled by the conventional thinking in those novels, and had thought that top equipment and weapon manufacturing masters like him were all workaholics.

However, Wang Zheng was somewhat confused when Da Chu suddenly turned hostile towards him. In the end, he could only smile and laugh it off, while silently adding another note to his mental notebook.

Seeing Chu Jingnan's displeasure, Wang Zheng didn't want to provoke him. He followed him at a distance, and finally the two landed in front of a detached villa at the very edge of the teachers' area.

After all, these are faculty dormitories of a top university in China, so the environment is naturally excellent.

This innermost part is comparable to a high-end villa area, with more than a dozen detached villas surrounding a blue artificial lake.

This quaint, antique-style courtyard is complete with pavilions, terraces, and towers, and even has a small pond brought in from the lake outside, where many ornamental fish are kept.

Chu Jingnan descended from the sky and landed directly in the courtyard. Without any formality, he didn't knock on the door and simply stepped inside.

However, Wang Zheng, who was following behind him, looked a little strange as he listened to the upbeat music coming from the living room ahead.
