With more and more people gathering at the training ground, the competition should begin soon.

Seeing Chu Tianxing's arrogant demeanor, Wang Zheng immediately slipped away quietly to the side and blended into the Southeast University group, pretending not to know him.

This is terrifying. He saw that the principals' eyes were practically spitting fire as they looked at Chu Tianxing. He didn't want Chu Tianxing to be implicated when these old men and women started to bully him.

While Wang Zheng was still secretly watching the show, Ling Tong patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder: "First place, what are you doing sneaking around here?"

Wang Zheng was startled and replied irritably, "If you dare to talk to me in such a sarcastic tone again, I'll go to the Southeast and block your door, you believe me?"

"I believe you, I believe you, okay? Brother, you're my own brother, let's put the hammer away first."

Ling Tong watched as Wang Zheng put away the steel hammer, which was thicker than himself, and looked enviously at Wang Zheng's chest.

"You're really getting good treatment, you even have a storage ring, those are treasures you only see in novels and stories."

Wang Zheng curled his lip in disdain: "This isn't mine, it was borrowed from my principal. And I heard from my principal that your principal has one too, you can go ask her for it and see if she'll lend it to you."

Ling Tong glanced cautiously at his principal, then quickly looked away, lowering his head and remaining silent. He saw his principal glaring at Chu Tianxing with a murderous look, and Ling Tong dared not provoke her at this moment.

Wang Zheng didn't care at all and nudged him with his shoulder: "Hey, do you think there's some story between our two principals when they were young? Look at these two old people, tsk tsk tsk, I seem to have heard that your principal has never been married, is that true?"

Ling Tong was going crazy. He hadn't expected that Wang Zheng, that bastard, would be so audacious as to dare to slander his own principal. He turned and left instantly. Yu Yun had also heard Wang Zheng's nonsense and was terrified. Upon closer inspection, she ran away even faster than Ling Tong.

In the blink of an eye, he was all alone. Wang Zheng couldn't stop him. He was still waiting to see the show, muttering to himself, "So scared, yet he ran so fast. I was wondering when the Little Smart Competition would officially start."

Just then, Wang Zheng felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

How can you use the gentlest voice to make someone feel an overwhelming chill?

Wang Zheng is already feeling it.

“Wang Zheng, Principal Chu from Jingnan is no good. How about coming to our Southeast University? We’re both in Jingnan, not far apart, and I’m familiar with your mother.”

Wang Zheng suddenly felt his whole body stiffen, as if even his 40-point constitution couldn't bring him any warmth. He mechanically turned his head and saw the old lady who had been far away just moments before now appearing behind him with a smile on her face.

Wang Zheng wanted to say no, but he was afraid that if he said those words, he might die on the spot.

Crisis! This is the biggest crisis to date!

There's nothing I can do now that they've heard it; I can only try to get away with it by being cute.

Mystery! A 16-year-old innocent and pure-hearted boy!

“Okay, okay, I often hear my mom mention you at home. She always says you are gentle, kind, and approachable. But Principal Chu gave me 100 spirit crystals as a reward. Will I be able to get them in the Southeast?”

Tang Yuying gritted her teeth in anger: "This old miser will give you 100 spirit crystals? Do you think I'm stupid? Also, if your mother really talks to you about me, it certainly won't be anything nice."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Zheng felt his whole body stiffen and he could no longer move, not even move his eyes.

"call--"

Tang Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "There's not a single good person at Jingnan University! I feel much better now."

Then, with a flash, he slowly floated back to the high platform of the training ground.

Watching their principal drift away, Wang Zheng was frozen in place by his own principal. Only then did Ling Tong and Yu Yun dare to look back, exclaiming with relief that they had escaped a disaster.

Ling Tong cursed inwardly, "Serves him right!"

Wang Zheng, who was trapped in place and unable to move, was not as uncomfortable as before.

After the compensation issue was settled yesterday, Ji Kai checked Wang Zheng's storage ring. Inside, besides two large hammers, some clothes and food, there were only some competition coins and four spirit crystals.

Naturally, there wouldn't be any other discoveries, since the jet-black crystal was already in Wang Zheng's own storage space.

Then Ji Kai suggested that Wang Zheng undergo another test, saying that he was afraid the Heavenly Demon might not have been completely eliminated.

Left with no other choice, in order not to reveal his maximum spiritual energy value, Wang Zheng could only tearfully level up his strength and constitution to A level, spending 400 points of his maximum spiritual energy.

Looking at the spiritual energy value of 399 on the data panel, Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and spent another 40 points of the limit to increase his agility by 2 points.

Even so, the 359 points of spiritual energy still drew the attention of many, and some secretly lamented the loss.

Afterwards, Wang Zheng also asked Chu Tianxing about it. Tang Guoan is one of the top big shots in China. The fact that he came in person shows that he attaches great importance to the Butterfly Island incident.

Chu Tianxing didn't know much about the Heavenly Demons, nor had he ever actually seen one. He had only mentioned them in a previous meeting, where they discussed their bizarre attack methods, the dangers they posed to humans, and their weaknesses. But they hadn't revealed much else.

Now let's look at Wang Zheng's detailed data.

Stamina: 400/400

Spiritual Energy Value: 360/360

Physical condition: 40

Strength: 48 (16+32)

Intelligence: 29+

Mental state: 29+

Agility: 29+

Basic functions: scanning, storage

Heart of Thorns+ (After being hit by an attack, deals 30% of the attack's damage as reflected damage to the attacker, plus an additional 3% of the attacker's HP as attribute damage)

Strength and Constitution both A-level (adds 80% to Strength based on Constitution)

Holy Light (Cast on target, restores a small amount of the target's health, restoring health equal to 10 points + 10% of Intelligence).

Because of the forced increase of two points in agility, Wang Zheng was still somewhat unaccustomed to it all day.

So although I couldn't move my body, it was much better than the feeling of being restricted before.

Wang Zheng was frozen in place, but his thoughts were not affected. He did not rush to find a way to break free. Instead, he thought that if it weren't for his physical condition, he would not have been so reckless as to say such things without thinking, and he was caught red-handed by the person who fabricated the story. Ji Kai was now taking the blame.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng gritted his teeth in hatred and silently made a grudge against Ji Kai.

Oh, and the president of Southeast University also owes me 100 spirit crystals!

He remembered these accounts perfectly, thinking that one day he would be able to collect them back.
