After Wang Zheng and Chu Xiaoman finished their meal with long faces, the three of them first went to the teaching building to collect their books, and then went to the martial arts hall to meet up.
When the group returned to the martial arts academy, they found Mei Yiqi already training alone inside.
Seeing the two enter, Mei Yiqi ignored them, swallowed a Rejuvenation Potion, and began exercising.
Looking at his sweat-drenched head and the dense knife marks on the alloy dummy in the distance.
For the first time, Chu Xiaoman didn't find him arrogant; instead, she felt a sense of admiration for him.
Mei Yiqi was arrogant, and Wang Zheng and the others weren't the type to fawn over someone who wouldn't listen.
Everyone present was a genius, not to mention that Wu Huan initially looked down on Wang Zheng.
So the group dispersed and began exercising according to their own plans.
I must say, this training room is much more comfortable. It's spacious and has plenty of equipment, unlike being cramped in a room.
Seeing his spiritual energy limit skyrocketing in the past few days due to eating exotic beast meat, Wang Zheng gritted his teeth, added a little to both mental and agility, and then began to train like crazy, torturing his body.
The sheer madness of it drew sidelong glances from those around him, and even Mei Yiqi felt a growing sense of recognition for his greatest rival.
Just as everyone was practicing with great enthusiasm, Chu Tianxing walked in with Bai Meixi. He was very satisfied to see how hard everyone was working.
After coughing twice, he said, "On the 4th, which is the day after tomorrow, we will start military training. This military training is similar to the training camp you participated in before. Bai Meixi is not feeling well and will not participate, but Xiaomei must go. The three of you can choose freely."
Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman immediately expressed their willingness to participate, and then Chu Tianxing turned his attention to Wang Zheng.
Holy crap, I'll go to hell.
"Principal, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I won't be going," Wang Zheng replied with an awkward smile.
Chu Tianxing didn't care: "No need to make excuses. This is your freedom. I said you can choose."
The others were already used to Wang Zheng choosing to stay at school; he hit the principal on the first day of school and refused to participate in military training on the second day.
For an honest bookworm like Mei Yiqi, if the teacher says it's voluntary, then it's mandatory; if the teacher says it's mandatory, then it's forced.
The principal had only mentioned it politely, but Wang Zheng actually refused, leaving him somewhat puzzled about Wang Zheng's thoughts.
Bai Meixi, standing to the side, wore a half-smile, a look that suggested either relief or worry.
Wang Zheng then showed no mercy and asked directly, "Principal, what about the crystallization you promised me yesterday?"
Chu Tianxing tossed one over in an annoyed manner, and Wang Zheng caught it without hesitation.
"Principal, that's not right. You said each person would get one. I defeated four classmates, so there should be four, right?"
Clearly, Wang Zheng's reckless tendencies have kicked in again.
Mei Yiqi then realized why Wang Zheng had first admitted defeat yesterday, and then made a high-profile appearance.
It turns out that it was all for the spiritual energy crystals, and he didn't take them all seriously at all. If it weren't for the spiritual energy crystals, he probably wouldn't have accepted the challenge at all.
As for why Mei Yiqi knew about the spiritual crystals, it was naturally because he also had three in his pocket.
Wang Zheng had no idea what Mei Yiqi was thinking. If he knew, he'd probably be so angry he'd get a liver ache.
Even Chu Tianxing, with his good temper, couldn't hold back any longer. Besides, he was a hot-tempered guy. In an instant, a bolt of lightning condensed in mid-air in the martial arts hall and struck Wang Zheng directly on the head.
Wang Zheng only felt a sore and numb feeling all over his body, but he was not injured at all. He didn't care at all about losing only 1 point of stamina.
His hair was standing on end from the electric shock, slightly curly, and smelled faintly of burnt material. He then opened his mouth, exhaling a puff of black smoke, before collapsing to the ground: "I'm injured now. I won't get up without four crystals."
Chu Tianxing was taken aback at first, and then he was both surprised and annoyed after hearing Wang Zheng's words.
Surprisingly, although he held back this time, even an ordinary C-level Awakened would need an hour or two to recover from a single bolt of lightning. But Wang Zheng seemed completely unaffected.
What's infuriating is that this little bastard is using that staged accident scam again.
Chu Tianxing glared at him and raised his leg to kick him, but Wang Zheng quickly got up and hid behind Chu Xiaoman.
Chu Xiaoman impatiently pushed Wang Zheng forward, while Wu Huan, somewhat curious, reached out and pinched Wang Zheng's new curly hairstyle.
Mei Yiqi was so shocked by Wang Zheng's audacity that his jaw dropped. Bai Meixi, on the other hand, found the interaction between the group very amusing, clutching her stomach and laughing uncontrollably, just like a little fox.
While Wang Zheng was still pushing and shoving Chu Xiaoman, he suddenly realized that the physical incoordination he had experienced due to adding attribute points had recovered, just like when he was trapped by the Southeast Principal's mental power.
Holy crap, is this the legendary "electrotherapy"?
Wang Zheng's mind works incredibly fast; he quickly raised both his agility and spirit to 39 points.
However, because he was already lost in thought, concentrating on adding points, Chu Xiaoman happened to push him.
While his body was still sore and numb, he suddenly gained two points of agility, and his left foot tripped over his right foot, resulting in a flat fall that landed him face down on the ground.
It shouldn't have been this serious, but Wang Zheng just had to bring it on himself. It's only been a dozen hours since last night, and he's already added 4 points to agility, which is why he couldn't even stand up and ended up lying on the ground unable to get up.
This sudden scene startled everyone.
Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman instinctively reached out to help Wang Zheng up.
