After the teacher looked at the registration form, she looked at it carefully again before subconsciously looking at Shang Lin and asking, "Shang Lin, why didn't you register? I checked, and you got a perfect score in math on your final exam last semester."
When called out by the teacher, Shang Lin smiled awkwardly, "But I'm not in good health. If I increase my study time, I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle it. Wouldn't it be a loss if I missed the college entrance exam because of my health?"
There's nothing we can do about it. The timing is precisely set on the day of the blood moon. Originally, evening classes were canceled during the monthly exams, but now we have to add a separate math test!
Who knows how long this exam will take? Will the teacher give everyone training immediately afterwards? No, the competition is time-sensitive, so there will definitely be training.
When a blood moon occurs, you can take all your disciples into the Dragon Spirit Tower, and even seal the tower. So what about yourself? Are you safe outside?
Although he didn't know what kind of mixed blood Yuan Shanglin was, he wasn't a truly ordinary human either, so Shanglin was very worried about him. Since he was worried, he had no choice but to refuse.
Oh, right, there's something really weird. Every time I have an exam, the "tattoo" on my chest goes crazy. Although I've figured out how to convert the energy since the last time it went crazy, it still takes time and I need some space to myself!
So, all bonuses and extra points are out of the question for me!
Fortunately, Shang Lin is quite open-minded about everything. Besides, isn't gain and loss just a kind of energy conservation?
The math teacher looked at Shang Lin's face, which didn't appear sickly, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you? You look like such a healthy student!"
Shang Lin continued with an awkward laugh, "Teacher, you're new here and don't know, but because of my health, I didn't participate in the military training before the start of my first year of high school. Also, my illness is in my internal organs, not external, so from the outside, I do look quite fine."
Math teacher, "..."
After a long while, he said with great regret, "Well, it's just such a pity!"
Sigh, nothing else matters when it comes to health!
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Shang Lin with great sympathy, her eyes even brimming with tears, and whispered, "So you're in such poor health? You didn't even participate in the military training before entering school!"
Back then, no one knew each other, so nobody knew who was who or not, or whether they had participated in military training. Now, after Shang Lin mentioned it, the classmates finally found out.
Shang Lin was startled by Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance. Goodness, this child's tear ducts are too developed. Will she burst into tears at any moment?
Shang Lin hurriedly replied in a low voice, "I'm much better now than I was back then. Class is starting."
Please, please don't look at me like that. Doesn't an old person's heart have a heart? No, the older a person is, the more they need to take care of their heart, otherwise, serious problems can easily arise, okay?
Li Yaoyao also subconsciously looked at Shang Lin, but her gaze was not teary like Lin Xiaoxiao's; instead, it was extremely complicated, so complicated that she herself couldn't explain it.
It's like...
A jumble of emotions welled up inside me, a mixture of feelings swirling within me.
In Li Yaoyao's heart, Shang Lin was her formidable rival and the goal she always wanted to surpass. Unfortunately, this person was simply a genius in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and it seemed that it was unacceptable not to get full marks.
While his classmates were still racking their brains over complex math and physics problems, he was able to solve them with clear thinking. Every time I saw him easily get high scores, I was filled with envy.
This jealousy is like a vine, growing wildly over time. Ironically, I can't help but admire him, envy him, and want to be like him.
But now, the genius I admire and envy is unable to participate in a math competition because of health reasons. How cruel is that!
Does this really prove the saying, "Extreme intelligence is bound to bring harm"?
Some people are simple-minded but physically strong, while others are intelligent but physically weak. Why is this?
Shang Lin, with his extremely sensitive senses, immediately noticed Li Yaoyao's gaze, but he could only pretend not to know and listen to the math teacher's lecture as if nothing was wrong, because he was worried that he would see another pair of teary eyes, just like Lin Xiaoxiao's.
In truth, Shang Lin didn't quite understand the fragile psychology of girls. He, the person involved, hadn't even been hurt, so why were they suddenly overflowing with sympathy? It was really unnecessary.
Fortunately, Li Yaoyao quickly looked away from Shang Lin, because the teacher had already started the lesson, and if she wanted to surpass him, she had to listen attentively.
In fact, after hearing Shang Lin's words, the other students in the class all began to feel sympathy to varying degrees, but none of them expressed it as directly or obviously as Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Yaoyao.
As soon as the bell rang, Shang Lin practically followed the math teacher out of the classroom. He really couldn't stand his classmates' overflowing sympathy; it was almost "drowning" him!
As soon as Shang Lin left the classroom, he went straight to Class 5. He stood at the window of the back door of Class 5 and could see Chu Jiusheng's seat. Perhaps because some of his memories had been deleted, he looked listless.
He looked exhausted but had no choice but to keep going. Otherwise, would you have the little snake treat him to lunch today? But the little snake was also exhausted and needed to rest for a day.
As soon as Fan Mingyu saw Shang Lin, he hurriedly came out. "What are you standing here looking at? It's not even lunchtime yet. Did you come to see me?"
"Yes, I came to tell you to wait for me at noon." Shang Lin then gestured to Fan Mingyu with her eyes, "What's wrong with Chu Jiusheng? Did you catch a cold?"
Fan Mingyu didn't notice the flaw in Shang Lin's words, but followed his gaze to look at Chu Jiusheng. "It seems so. Usually, this guy is full of energy, like a wolf cub, but today he looks like he's been hit by frost, all listless."
"Hmm." Shang Lin looked at Fan Mingyu and advised, "You're all classmates, so try to get along with him if you can."
Fan Mingyu immediately complained, "Am I not getting along with him? He's acting like a lunatic, unable to stand me being close to you. Should I tell him about our relationship?"
He immediately refused, saying, "No need. He's the kind of person who tends to get stuck on things, and our disciples must be outstanding in every aspect, especially in terms of mental health."
Otherwise, wouldn't inner demons arise in the long course of life? Who could bear that?
Fan Mingyu immediately became smug, "Yes, yes, mental health is the most important thing."
Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Alright, hurry back to class, or you'll fall behind your classmates."
"Yes, Sect Master."
