The reason why Shenqian's expression was complicated was that, as expected, the end of the post inevitably mentioned this year's college entrance examination and Shenqian.
"Stop washing your hands, everyone. Chen Qian was the last one to walk out of the willpower test room. There's photographic proof!"
"Insider information suggests that Wang Shuo was actually forced out by Shen Qian's underhanded tactics..."
"Does this mean that Chen Qian has to be the top scholar? Why should he be expected to do something that no one else has done in the past seven years?"
"Heh, what kind of glory is 'Jingcheng's Light' if it can't win the top prize? If it were that simple, I could call myself 'Jingcheng's Light' too!"
"The college entrance exam ended six days ago, and the students in Jingcheng have long since returned. Have you seen Shen Qian show up? He must have felt he did poorly on the exam and was afraid of getting beaten up in the street!"
"..."
There are many posts, and they are refreshed every second. Occasionally, someone speaks up for the former, but most people are still critical and skeptical.
Shen glanced at it briefly before looking at it again, still afraid that his emotions would be affected.
However, Shen Qian did come to a realization at this moment.
That's where his inexplicable "bad luck" came from.
Chai Haotian had previously told Shen Qian that by exposing Shen Qian's actions before his expedition, he had essentially transferred a portion of Jingcheng's fortune to Shen Qian.
Ultimately, this fortune reflects the will of the people of Jingcheng.
Perhaps Chai Haotian initially intended to use the luck to help Shen Qian overcome obstacles in the college entrance examination, but after public opinion reversed, this luck turned into bad luck, which was equivalent to public opinion turning into resentment.
Luck is truly a double-edged sword.
Actually, Shen Qian had always been puzzled as to why everyone thought he hadn't done well on the exam.
He never admitted it.
He couldn't possibly take a megaphone and shout "I got a perfect score!" all over the streets. Regardless of whether it would be effective, that would be too low-class.
Moreover, he couldn't reveal the secret to getting a perfect score on the college entrance exam.
After the takeout arrived and he had eaten and drunk his fill, Chen Qian thought for a moment and decided to go to the Kyushu Budokan to lift weights.
With only three days left until the college entrance examination results are released, and since it's inconvenient to go out, then staying in seclusion to study is naturally the best choice.
Although the 99th floor of the Tower of Babel has been renovated, it still needs to air out and some furniture needs to be purchased, so it is not suitable for living there for the time being.
Wang Xiaojuan called her mother to say she was going out for a few days. She seemed to understand Shen Qian and didn't ask any questions. She just subtly said that if he was going out with a girl, he should be careful.
Pretending not to understand what his mother was saying, Chen packed a few changes of clothes, put on a mask and sunglasses like a celebrity, and then headed straight for the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall.
Upon arriving at the martial arts hall, Shen Qian met Zhu Deyong, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Zhu Deyong was as enthusiastic as ever, personally arranging a diamond training room for Shen Qian, seemingly unaffected by outside opinions. However, Xiao Xuan was surprisingly absent.
“You haven’t been around lately either, so she took leave, apparently because someone at home needs to be taken care of.”
Zhu Deyong laughed and said, "You know she doesn't serve other customers. It's the off-season after the college entrance exams, so the front desk doesn't need anyone. I gave her a long leave. Should I call her back now?"
"No need for that, let's leave it as is."
Shen Qian smiled and refused. After Zhu Deyong left, he went to the simple simulator in the corner.
After punching Old Wang to death, a string of numbers appeared on the simulator.
Burst strength: 1209 kg
Instantaneous speed: 2.1 s/100 meters
..."
This number was basically within Shen Qian's prediction.
I tested my strength once during the college entrance examination period, and it was 1147. Although a week has passed, I haven't cultivated much during this time, so the increase in strength through natural means is not very significant.
Shen Qian returned to the cultivation area and took out a glass bottle from his backpack. Black energy swirled inside, resembling thunderclouds. It was the death energy that the powerful Gao had extracted from his body.
Strictly speaking, if not so many people had died in the battle of the valley, the previous battle would have yielded much more.
The mere absorption of this death energy is equivalent to countless days and nights of arduous cultivation before the sinking.
After all, the spiritual energy he needs for his breakthrough is far too much, and the normal methods can hardly satisfy his appetite.
To prevent waste, Chen Qian first went to the almost unused sauna room, sealed the doors and windows, leaving only a ventilation opening, then opened the glass bottle and summoned the system.
After all, he himself did not yet have the ability to absorb death energy.
After the system's energy was depleted once again in the valley, it has dropped below 40%, and the search for energy sources must be put on the agenda.
However, for daily cultivation, the burden on the system is not too great.
After setting the AFK requirements, Shen Qian quickly went black and completely lost consciousness.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the day for the college entrance examination results to be released finally arrived.
Shen Qian had already informed Zhu Deyong in advance, so apart from occasionally waking up to order food, no one disturbed Shen Qian during these three days.
As for the fitness tracker, it was turned off before it was submerged.
This is the best way to avoid being disturbed by the outside world.
As a result, Shen Qian has thus completed the longest cultivation period of the year.
For three days, I spent all my time cultivating, except for sleeping and eating.
Before he could even sense the changes in his body, he was quickly dragged into the next cultivation cycle.
When he awoke before sinking, it was already the morning of the fourth day.
With a vibrant energy and a hint of brilliance in his eyes, Shen Qian stood up and glanced at the glass bottle on the table.
