Whether it was the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" or the "Stare and Get Pregnant" trick, although they seemed terrible at first glance, upon closer inspection, one would realize that if used well, they could be as powerful as divine skills.
But no matter how you look at it, you can't see what its purpose is.
It only makes the other person reply with "What are you looking at?", it has neither damage nor control, it's practically a useless skill.
Suddenly, a thought struck him: Could this be a taunt skill? Once used, it could easily provoke the opponent's anger? However, he quickly dismissed this idea, since even without this skill, anyone saying "What are you looking at?" would be incredibly sarcastic.
However, to his surprise, this skill did not have a limited number of uses like the previous skills; it seemed to be usable indefinitely.
Thinking of this, Zuan felt a little better, but the fact that this skill was weaker than the previous ones left him unsure whether to be happy or sad.
He continued with the lottery, but didn't draw anything else. It was either "thank you for participating" or "Spirit Fruit," which was within his expectations, since the probability of drawing two skills at once was almost negligible.
He had filled one-third of his third magic circle before. This time, after consuming and refining all the Yuan Qi fruits he had drawn, the third magic circle was completely filled. Now he could clearly feel that he could barely summon "Great Wind" twice. Before, summoning it once would basically exhaust all the Yuan Qi in his body.
It seems that as the level increases, the vital energy becomes more abundant, and the effect is quite obvious.
Thinking about this, he became curious again, wondering what new skills would appear after the nine magic arrays on this level were filled. After all, the strong winds before were indeed magical, and that was only the effect of the first level. The later ones should be more and more powerful, right?
Of course, when he thought about how much anger he would need to level up, Zuan sighed and thought, "Forget about that for now. The most important thing is to prepare for the competition the day after tomorrow."
In fact, with his current abilities, he should have no problem protecting himself against Yuan Wendong in the ring. However, he remembered what the beautiful principal had said: in this world, the strong get stronger because only in this way can they obtain a continuous stream of resources from all aspects. Therefore, it is not advisable to hide one's strengths.
He also realized that it would be a waste not to make full use of the huge platform that the Chu family had behind him, and to make full use of it, he had to make the Chu family recognize his value.
Although he had a somewhat despicable personality, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Chu family's previous cold attitude towards him. After all, Zu An was indeed a coward in the past, and if he were a member of the Chu family, his attitude certainly wouldn't have been any better.
On the contrary, not to mention his sister-in-law, even Chu Chuyan and his father-in-law Chu Zhongtian treated him fairly well. After all, their attitudes were all based on the premise that he was a good-for-nothing, so their attitudes were already quite good.
Only Qin Wanru was a bit harsh on him. Hmph, if I had known it would turn out like this, I should have given your clothes to that pervert Ji Dengtu back then...
With the guidance of the beautiful headmistress, he realized that he should demonstrate some value to the Chu family, ideally making them increasingly dependent on him, so that even if Chu Chuyan was unwilling, he would eventually have to actively send her to his bed...
Zuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself, his mouth watering at the thought of the beautiful things he imagined.
However, on the other hand, he really wasn't confident of defeating Yuan Wendong. After all, Yuan Wendong was a fifth-rank official. He had seen how Yuan Wendong wielded his weapon at school before, and it was exactly the style of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One". Pei Mianman had black flames protecting her body that could melt his weapon, but if he went up against him, he would be riddled with holes all over his body.
Moreover, he didn't want to reveal all his trump cards in the arena under the watchful eyes of everyone. Showing off his value was one thing, but exposing all his trump cards would be a loss, as he was still waiting to use them to scheme against others in the future.
The "survival culture" that was so popular in the past made a lot of sense: make a fortune quietly, and the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind...
After thinking for a long time, he could only focus his attention on the "Thirteen Forms of Elementary Swordplay" that Bai Susu had taught him today. Although this swordplay was useless to ordinary people, it seemed to suit him perfectly. If used well, it would be incredibly powerful. If he could defeat Yuan Wendong with this swordplay, no one would doubt his trump card, since it was a swordplay that almost everyone in the academy knew.
Thinking of this, he became excited and picked up the standard sword issued by the academy to practice. He didn't know if it was because he now had super-level aptitude or something else, but he felt that the scene of Bai Susu dancing with a sword during the day was extremely clear in his mind, and he remembered every move clearly.
At first, he was a little unskilled, but after practicing a few times, he had actually mastered the "Thirteen Forms of Elementary Swordplay" quite well.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so quick to learn. You've mastered the academy's 'basic sword technique' in such a short time. The only thing you're lacking now is practice and refinement."
Just then, a sinister voice rang out.
Zu An was startled and quickly turned around to look in the direction of the voice. He saw a trembling, hunched voice standing in the garden. Who else could it be but Old Man Mi?
"When did you arrive, sir?" Zu An asked with a harmless smile, but inwardly he was on high alert. He knew he had to be more careful in the future, otherwise, if his trump card was discovered, he would always have a sense of crisis, as if his underwear had been pulled down.
"I've been here for a while now," Old Man Mi replied casually. "I heard you might be going up against Yuan Wendong in the family competition?"
“Yes.” Zu’an looked helpless. Who told him to be treated like an inferior horse against an superior horse by the Chu family?
"You plan to deal with Yuan Wendong with just this basic sword technique?" Old Man Mi's beard trembled as he glared at him intently.
