Unbeknownst to everyone, Xia Zhihong was preoccupied with the scene of Guan Wen brutally beating Situ Nanfeng on the arena yesterday.

Guan Wen's identity as a prodigy who keeps a low profile and hides his true identity is already hard enough for him to accept. What's more, Hua Qingyue is also interested in him, which is a huge blow to him because he knows that no matter what, he can never compete with Guan Wen for Hua Qingyue.

He had been agonizing over this matter since last night, and this morning, the feeling hadn't faded with the passing of time; instead, it had become even more unbearable, which was why he seemed so demoralized.

When school let out at noon, Xia Zhihong was still in this state, so Hua Qingyue felt that she should talk to him. But before she could speak, Xia Zhihong approached her first: "Qingyue, can you stay a little later? I want to talk to you about something."

Upon hearing Xia Zhihong say this, the surrounding classmates were stunned for a moment, and then revealed a gossipy smile.

Xia Zhihong's affection for Hua Qingyue was practically an open secret in the elite class. There were even rumors that he gave up his first-place ranking to win her favor. Therefore, when Xia Zhihong said those words to Hua Qingyue, everyone assumed he was confessing his feelings again.

Hua Qingyue wanted to comfort him, so she agreed without hesitation. Everyone exchanged glances, wanting to hear what the two had to say.

Ye Ruqiu, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity.

After class, everyone in the classroom left, and Xia Zhihong said to him, "Qingyue, do you like Guan Wen?"

"What?" Hua Qingyue thought Xia Zhihong was going to talk about something else, but she didn't expect him to bring up Guan Wen as soon as he opened his mouth, which made her blush.

"Who told you that?"

Since that day, Hua Qingyue has indeed fallen for Guan Wen. It's impossible for her not to be attracted to such a handsome and talented young genius. More importantly, she had known Guan Wen before and had always had feelings for him.

Seeing Hua Qingyue like this, Xia Zhihong felt even more distressed. Judging from her appearance, she really liked Guan Wen, otherwise she wouldn't have blushed so much when he mentioned his name.

However, he was already prepared, so after taking a deep breath, he quickly suppressed his emotions and said, "I saw Guan Wen at the Duel Management Enterprise Tournament yesterday."

"You saw him?" Hua Qingyue was taken aback. "In that case... you should know his identity by now, right?"

Xia Zhihong gave a wry smile and nodded slowly: "I know. I didn't expect him to be that monstrous genius from our school. To be honest, when I saw his application, I really couldn't believe it."

"Actually, I can't believe it either. After all, I've known him for a longer time. He's practically my old classmate. But who would have thought that he would grow to the point where I have to look up to him? It's amazing."

Xia Zhihong noticed that Hua Qingyue's gaze had already been directed into the distance, her eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration.

Xia Zhihong felt a little uneasy. Just then, Hua Qingyue suddenly said, "Xia Zhihong, can you promise me you won't tell anyone about this? Guan Wen once asked me to keep his secret. He just wants to cultivate in peace."

"Don't worry, I won't tell." Hearing this, Xia Zhihong smiled bitterly. Even if he wanted to take revenge and spread the news, he didn't dare to now. After all, the other party was too strong. If he challenged him, he would definitely get a beating and end up like Situ Nanfeng in the corporate competition he participated in, going home with a pig's head.

Moreover, he didn't want to offend a genius of this caliber. Although he knew he couldn't compare to the other person, he also understood that with his talent, there was a possibility that they might cross paths in the future.

Even though he is quite unhappy with Hua Qingyue now because of her, his future is not just about Hua Qingyue alone, and there is no need to make enemies over such a thing.

Then the two chatted about some other things.

Actually, Hua Qingyue was just as shocked as he was about Guan Wen being the prodigy who had conquered the 79th floor of the Power Tower at their school. Guan Wen had told her not to tell anyone, so she had kept it to herself, which had been quite frustrating. Now that Xia Zhihong knew all about it, the two of them started chatting excitedly about Guan Wen.

Soon the two left the classroom, and as they walked away, a figure slowly emerged from the corner of the corridor.

If Guan Wen were here, he would definitely recognize her at a glance; she is none other than Ye Ruqiu.

Before get out of class ended, when Xia Zhihong asked Hua Qingyue to wait a little longer in the classroom, she and the other students thought they were going to hear some gossip. Ye Ruqiu, as the student who loved gossip the most, naturally stayed behind to eavesdrop on what they were saying. But who would have thought that this eavesdropping would actually lead him to hear a big piece of gossip.

Guan Wen was actually the monstrous genius who had passed through the seventy-nine levels of the battle power tower.

She stood there, her body stiff, unable to believe what the two had said in class.

How could that be?

How could Guan Wen possibly be that genius?

She had always considered Guan Wen to be a lowly person, so when she heard the news, she subconsciously resisted it.

No way, no way, I must have misheard!

Ye Ruqiu kept repeating this in her mind, and the more she repeated it, the more flustered she became, because she knew that Xia Zhihong and Hua Qingyue had no reason to lie about this, and they had no idea that she was outside the door, so how could they possibly lie?

Furthermore, considering that she had met the other party in the Tiannan City villa area before, it was easy to deduce that what the two people said was true.

But Ye Ruqiu was unwilling to admit this fact from the bottom of her heart.

If Guan Wen really is that monstrous genius, her worldview will be turned upside down.

After class in the afternoon, Guan Wen went straight to the Tower of All Heavens. Because he was killed and teleported back in the mountainous region last time, he could not continue his previous progress to enter the mountainous region again, so he could only randomly select a world again.

Moreover, since the mountain giant had regained consciousness last time, the entire world's terrain had been overturned.
