Hearing his mother say so much in one breath, Wang Zheng thought that the current situation might not be so optimistic. The reason why he couldn't find this information was probably because most of it had been blocked, perhaps to avoid causing public panic. In this unstable era, he should first try to survive and become stronger, so that he would be able to protect his parents in the future.

Having set himself a small, steady goal, Wang Zheng fell into a deep sleep.

...

Today is April 17th, the third day since Wang Zheng's rebirth. If Wang Shengrong hadn't been waking Wang Zheng up with a rolling pin, he would definitely have overslept today.

Wang Zheng muttered to himself, "It's been so many years since I graduated, and now they're suddenly telling me I have to go to early morning self-study at 6:30? Isn't this torture? I was originally thinking of staying in my senior year of high school for another year, but now I think I should just go to university as soon as possible. Anyway, I heard that the special admission exams are very easy and only test Chinese and math."

Wang Zheng walked into the classroom yawning all the way, and a large group of classmates surrounded him, which startled him awake.

Curly was the first to rush over, snatched Wang Zheng's schoolbag, and, looking like a lackey, shouted, "Make way, can't you see my brother Zheng is here? He's the first naturally awakened person at Jingnan No. 1 High School this year!"

The students around him also chimed in, "Wang Zheng, have you really awakened? What does it feel like? What kind of talent do you have?"

"Brother Zheng is awesome! You always have the best physical fitness. The other day we were discussing whether you were going to awaken your inner self, and I was right!"

"Wang Zheng, how do you usually train? Do you have any tips?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's share our experiences!"

A huge crowd gathered around, and Wang Zheng felt like his head was about to explode from the noise. The news had spread far too fast, and it was hard to resist the enthusiasm of his classmates. Besides, if he had to say, Wang Zheng himself didn't know how he had trained. Could he really answer that he had awakened after eating a bite of the alien beast's meat? That would be too pretentious, and besides, the alien beast's meat was something that ordinary people couldn't even get their hands on.

Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, Wang Zheng could only say, "I'm sorry, classmates, I was just lucky, it was just a fluke. The training was done according to the school's methods, there are no tricks."

Originally, everyone was just asking casually. Everyone knows that natural awakening relies on talent. If it were possible to awaken easily just by training, natural awakeners would be everywhere.

Just then, a dissenting voice came over: "If you don't want to talk, fine. It's such a petty thing for a grown man to do this. It's like everyone is going to be slow to wake up. And what are you all doing crowding around there? We're about to start self-study. Is it fun to be so eager to please someone who doesn't appreciate it?"

The students around him looked embarrassed upon hearing this and eventually returned to their seats.

Wang Zheng was naturally baffled. He looked up and saw the class monitor from his past life. The two had basically never interacted. He couldn't quite remember if the monitor's surname was Zhang or Li. He was probably feeling resentful. He had originally intended not to argue with such a brat, but the person looked like he couldn't ignore him.

Wang Zheng immediately felt he couldn't tolerate her bad habit: "You're dressed so smartly, why didn't you brush your teeth first thing in the morning? Your breath smells so bad! Did some sour lemon explode? It's really sour."

When the students around him heard Wang Zheng teasing them like that, their faces turned red, and Curly and his friends laughed so hard they were doubled over.

After Wang Zheng's sarcastic remarks, the class representative immediately exploded: "We're all classmates. You just went ahead and asked for advice. What's wrong with that? You're not even willing to share. You're selfish and unwilling to help everyone improve together."

Wang Zheng was so angry he laughed. He never expected to actually meet someone like this, a typical example of "I'm weak, so I'm right": "Ah, yes, yes, you're right. Keep talking. If you make me happy, I'll tell you my exclusive little trick."

"Say it if you want to, don't say it if you don't. I'm not even sure I'd like to listen." The class representative thought Wang Zheng had given up. After all, in her mind, she was standing on everyone's side to fight for everyone's interests. As long as she kept making a fuss, there would definitely be people who would support her. Wang Zheng couldn't fight against the whole class on her own.

"Fine, since you insist, I'll tell you. Actually, my trick is very simple."

The class monitor immediately focused his attention, and the other students also quieted down to listen to what Wang Zheng had to say.

"The trick is that my talent is better than yours, and I have a mother who naturally awakened her powers. Do you have that? I bet you don't, otherwise you wouldn't say something so stupid. It's probably too late to reincarnate now. Don't make me suffer a little, just call me 'Dad,' maybe it will work?" Wang Zheng's sarcastic voice rang out.

"Hahaha!" This time, the students couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

“You…” The class monitor’s face flushed red, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush to his head. He was so excited that he rushed to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng didn't even glance at her. He slowly sat down and said leisurely, "You'd better think this through. If you dare touch me, I'll beat you until your face is covered in bruises, and you won't even know why flowers are so red!"

The class representative quickly calmed down, compared the two sides' fighting strength, and realized that he really couldn't do anything to Wang Zheng. If Wang Zheng really attacked him, he would definitely be no match for him, and in the end, he could only slink back to his seat.

Wang Zheng was disgusted to encounter this on his first day of formal school. At this time, Curly Hair came to comfort Wang Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, there's no need to get angry over someone like that. She's always tattling on others. Does she really think everyone's afraid of her? Tell me, what does it feel like to awaken?"

Wang Zheng said irritably, "I have no idea what I'm talking about. I was eating, and suddenly I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself awake. I took the day off yesterday and just lay at home."

"Fang Hao, you're not getting to the point with your questions. What kind of superpower did you awaken, Brother Zheng?" Liu Yi and Wang Cunxin in the front row also turned around. Fang Hao is Curly Hair's real name.

"It's a Paramecia-type ability, an unknown power, not currently in the known power database. The information has been submitted and is awaiting testing." Wang Zheng didn't want to say more, since none of his classmates had awakened their powers yet, and he planned to end the topic to avoid further upsetting them.

"Wow, as expected of my brother Zheng, he came with a brand new talent right away. A new generation of war god is rising!" Curly Hair started praising again.

Wang Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him the middle finger and then ignored him, taking out his books to study. Liu Yi and Wang Cunxin saw that Wang Zheng didn't want to say anything more, so they turned away.

...

After what happened that morning, although the classmates were still very curious, no one else came to find Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng himself was happy to have some peace and quiet.

The principal even brought the dean of students to see Wang Zheng, wanting him to give a speech at the school. Wang Zheng naturally declined. Looking at the principal's old face, which was almost all wrinkled from smiling, Wang Zheng felt a chill and almost couldn't help but activate his Thorn Heart to reflect the mental attack.

After finally getting through school, Wang Zheng grabbed his backpack and ran off, shouting, "Here comes the monster meat!"
