"You don't need to lift a finger today."

Shen Qian was taken aback when he heard Liu Changqing say this.

"Why?" Although she had a rough idea of ​​the reason, Shen Qian still wanted to try.

"Don't you have any idea of ​​your own strength?" Liu Changqing sneered. "Once you make a move, this trial will lose its meaning."

really.

"But what about Principal Huang's reward..." Shen Qian muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Sixth Senior Brother is right, I will definitely take it easy today," Shen Qian promised.

"Hmm." Liu Changqing nodded in satisfaction, yawned, and said, "Of course, it's not that I want you to do nothing. If things show signs of getting out of control, step in to protect them."

Shen Qian sensed something was wrong, "Out of control?"

"Originally, Huang Tao and Zhao Hanhai disagreed with my trial plan, as it was a bit dangerous for you senior high school students. But true gold is tested by fire, and the teacher insisted that I see it through to the end. I can only see if a miracle happens."

Liu Changqing rubbed his temples in pain.

"There are definitely no big fish, but there might be a few small ones. Chen Feng might not be able to keep an eye on them all, so just be careful."

What if I can't beat them either?

The steady Chen Qian asked about the worst-case scenario. What level of cultivation did Liu Changqing possess? Who knew what kind of existence the "little fish" he mentioned was?

"Don't worry, I won't be too far away, so there won't be any major problems." Liu Changqing waved his hand.

"Oh." Upon hearing that Liu Changqing was there to back him up, Shen Qian was immediately relieved.

After establishing a connection with Liu Changqing, Shen Qian returned to the crowd.

"Shenqian, do you have social butterfly syndrome?"

Zheng Shaoyang looked on with envy, "I was even a little trembling when I saw Teacher Liu, and you actually dared to go up and talk to her?"

Many people pretended not to care and pricked up their ears, clearly extremely curious about how Shen Qian had managed to do it.

“Oh, he’s my senior brother,” Shen Qian said truthfully.

"cut!"

The people around immediately scattered.

Chen Qian shrugged helplessly. He had already realized that all pretense was unnecessary, because no one would believe him if he told the truth.

Neither his parents, classmates, nor teachers believed that he had really become so awesome.

...except for Huo Ling'er.

Only she stared wide-eyed, relentlessly pressing Shen Qian for details.

There's another person who's a bit strange.

Shen Qian turned his head three times to make sure it wasn't his imagination, then asked in bewilderment, "What are you looking at?"

Yes, Zhou Xiaoguang had been staring at him since just now, his gaze unusually complex, making Shen Qian's scalp tingle.

Zhou Xiaoguang hesitated for a moment, then walked over and said, "Let's talk in private."

"Don't talk nonsense. I never store any film or television materials unrelated to studying on my bracelet," Shen Qian said seriously.

Zhou Xiaoguang looked blank for a moment, then frowned. "I have something to ask you."

Shen Qian realized that he had misunderstood, and it was all Lao Wang and Zhou Xu's fault. They kept "borrowing" each other's books, which led him astray.

Pushing away Huo Ling'er's small hand that was clutching his sleeve, Shen Qian followed Zhou Xiaoguang to a corner of the venue.

"Is it you?" Zhou Xiaoguang asked impatiently, staring intently at Shen Qian. "Is that you on the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall ranking list?"

Shen Qian suddenly realized what it was all about.

When Shen Qian had his second conflict with Zhao Xin at the martial arts hall, he had no choice but to reveal his beginner martial artist badge, and his ranking immediately jumped to first place in the South City store and sixteenth on the overall list.

It seems to be right above Zhou Xiaoguang.

If Zhou Xiaoguang hadn't mentioned it, Shen Qian would have almost forgotten about it.

“It’s me.” Shen Qian nodded.

"Since you have such strength, why didn't you fight me seriously back then?" Zhou Xiaoguang questioned. "Did you look down on me?"

Shen Qian had a bit of a headache. To be honest, he didn't really have any conflict with Zhou Xiaoguang. It was just that he had directly admitted defeat during their first match, which made Zhou Xiaoguang hold a grudge.

Shen Qian couldn't quite understand this kind of thought process.

Is it not enough that I let you win?

At that time, Shen Qian's own strength was not very good. He was afraid of being killed by Shen Qian if he made a move himself, and he was also afraid of killing Shen Qian if the system made a move. He was in a dilemma.

"Since the martial arts dojo's evaluation of our rankings is so close, aren't you curious?"

Zhou Xiaoguang asked with intense gaze, "Who... is the better player?"

"Why do we have to determine who is better? What's the point?" Shen Qian asked, not understanding.

"Who said there isn't?"

Zhou Xiaoguang raised his voice, "The path of martial arts is a path of inevitable competition. Since you are ranked higher than me, then prove to me that you have the strength!"

Neuropathy!

He didn't want to say much before turning around and leaving.

"Fight me, and I'll give you 100,000!" Zhou Xiaoguang said suddenly, his voice trembling with anxiety.

Chen Qian stopped in his tracks, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed, "I have to say, I'm very tempted by 100,000. Two months ago, I would definitely have fought you, even if I was called shameless... but not now."

"Making this kind of money is really unethical."

“You…” Zhou Xiaoguang clenched his fist, but held back. He said in a low voice, “Don’t you feel that way too?”

"What does it feel like?" Shen Qian was taken aback.

"The feeling of losing sight of your goals."

The usually arrogant Zhou Xiaoguang said in a daze, "Ding Yi is gone, Qiu Xiaobei is gone too... I just took a leave of absence and missed the recruitment teams of the four major schools. When I came back, I found that I was already standing at the top of No. 7 Middle School."

"I was once smug, until the last time I fought against a death row inmate, I not only lost, but I lost so humiliatingly!"

"I then realized that I had been making almost no progress in the past three months. I needed an opponent, an evenly matched opponent."
