"This week, he has a ranking match to attend. If he doesnât wake up today, the school will have to issue a leave of absence for him, and heâll have to make it up next week."
Hong Lixin said helplessly.
According to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance regulations, after becoming a Martial Artist, one must participate in three ranking matches each week. Especially for high school third-year Martial Dao students like Zhang Lingfeng, the Star Realm System monitors in real-time, and unexcused absences lead to severe penalties.
"Teacher Huang said heâll sleep for a day or two. Given the current situation, even two days might be optimistic."
Ma Yong said gloomily.
The three had high hopes for Zhang Lingfeng.
They assumed he had awakened his potential and had a chance to gain admission to Starry Sky University, only to find it was just an enlightenment, and his Combat Power surged only because of the significant amount of power he had previously accumulated.
"We need to find a way to wake him up and make him realize that Divine Martial University wonât even give him a D-level contract. Hopefully, this blow will make him appreciate the importance of cultivation and prevent him from sliding further down."
Yang Liru suggested.
"Youâre right, he needs an urgent wake-up call about how harsh reality is."
Hong Lixin nodded.
"Zhang Lingfeng, Divine Martial University has canceled the A-level contract, and theyâre unwilling to even offer you a D-level one. Do you know that?"
Ma Yong called out.
"Splash!"
Hong Lixin poured a basin of cold water over Zhang Lingfengâs head.
Yang Liru poked Zhang Lingfengâs nostrils with a cotton swab.
The three tried various methods, stopping just short of slapping him, but Zhang Lingfeng remained in a deep sleep without signs of waking.
Left with no choice, Yang Liru called Huang Ling to ask if there was a way to wake Zhang Lingfeng to avoid him missing the ranking match due to unconsciousness tonight.
Huang Ling said that only through Mental Telekinesis could Zhang Lingfeng be awakened; otherwise, they would have to wait for him to wake naturally because he had voluntarily stopped resisting during Huang Lingâs Mental Telekinesis baptism, causing his coma to last longer than othersâ.
Thus, Yang Liru requested Huang Ling to help wake Zhang Lingfeng but faced a merciless refusal.
"Mom, please help wake up Zhang Lingfeng!"
Chen Duling, overhearing the phone conversation, tried to persuade.
She had insisted on testing Zhang Lingfeng with Huang Ling, and Huang Lingâs Mental Telekinesis was too strong, causing Zhang Lingfengâs prolonged coma.
In these times of resource scarcity and human precariousness, time is exceptionally precious, especially to a high school third-year Martial Dao student, making it all the more invaluable.
Chen Duling felt guilty.
"Iâve already wasted a Mental Telekinesis on him and even traveled all the way from Inner Ring City, what more do you want? You canât seriously be in love with him, can you!"
Huang Ling said angrily.
Recently, Chen Duling showed great concern for Zhang Lingfeng, making her feel something was off.
"Of course not, I just hope to see the friends from childhood in Inner Ring City so I donât always long to return and visit. You know, old friends will only become fewer."
Chen Duling pleaded.
"Ah, I know moving to Inner Ring City made you lose many friends, but thatâs just how the world works, survival of the fittest; itâs beyond us."
Huang Ling said helplessly.
"I feel thereâs nothing wrong with living in Inner Ring City; I just hope my friends can also have the chance to live here with us."
Chen Duling explained.
"I understand, go on to Ninth Middle School."
Huang Ling nodded.
"Thank you, mom."
Chen Dulingâs face lit up with joy.
Thus, under the influence of Huang Lingâs Mental Telekinesis, Zhang Lingfeng finally awakened from his deep sleep.
"Is the inspection over?"
Seeing Huang Ling standing beside him and Yang Liru and others watching him, Zhang Lingfeng inquired.
"Yes, the inspection is over. You didnât awaken any potential, just a sudden enlightenment, which is why your Combat Power surged."
Hong Lixin said.
"Teacher Li from Divine Martial University has already returned because you didnât awaken any potential, the previously signed A-level contract is void, and even a D-level contract canât be signed. To enter Divine Martial University, you have to take the normal entrance exam."
Yang Liru looked into Zhang Lingfengâs eyes and said.
She hoped to see disappointment, melancholy, anger, helplessness, and other negative emotions in Zhang Lingfengâs eyes and expression.
But Zhang Lingfeng seemed to have anticipated it or was indifferent, merely nodding and humming softly in acknowledgment.
"Your A-level contract was canceled, you lost the guaranteed admission, thereâs no prize money, and you cannot receive Divine Martial Universityâs Cultivation Resource Subsidy beforehand."
Ma Yong thought Zhang Lingfeng might not have understood, so he added.
"Yes, I got it."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded slightly.
"Losing the guaranteed admission to Divine Martial University, donât you feel itâs a pity?"
Hong Lixin questioned.
Zhang Lingfengâs attitude made him extremely angry.
"Uh... Itâs indeed quite unfortunate."
Zhang Lingfeng chuckled foolishly.
Hong Lixin felt as though he had punched a cloud, even feeling that Zhang Lingfengâs statement was meant to console them.
"Teacher Huang is not only an Inspector but also a powerful Mental Telekinesis Master. She determined your Combat Power limit is 30.0, even under diligent cultivation. If you donât change your cultivation attitude, even if you manage to get into Divine Martial University, they might not accept you."
Yang Liru emphasized to remind.
Zhang Lingfeng felt like everyoneâs gaze was piercing.
He then seriously replied, "I understand Teacher Yangâs point, I will dedicate myself to cultivation and strive to contribute to humanity."
"From now, you must cultivate earnestly, donât slide further down, or Divine Martial University will indeed not admit you."
Yang Liruâs expression softened markedly.
"When I use Mental Telekinesis to inspect your flesh and bones, if you cooperate, even if you donât awaken any potential, your body will improve significantly from my Mental Telekinesis baptism, maybe your limit wonât just be 30.0."
Huang Ling sighed.
She wished for Zhang Lingfeng to understand what he had lost from this inspection.
"Iâm sorry, I really couldnât control it."
Zhang Lingfeng said apologetically.
"The first time with Mental Telekinesis baptism is the most effective, it can help you find responses within your body. After youâve experienced it once, even if a Mental Telekinesis Master is willing to help find responses, the effects are far inferior.
When I baptized my daughter for the first time, her Physical Fitness improved by thirty percent, and her Combat Power advanced from Martial Artist to Elemental Martial Artist."
Huang Ling reiterated.
Unless Zhang Lingfeng realizes how significant the loss is to him, she wonât feel at ease.
"Hiss..."
Yang Liru and others were stunned, enviously looking at Chen Duling, no wonder Chen Duling was extraordinary; her Combat Power exceeded 20.0 even before the first semester of her senior year ended.
They also couldnât help but curse Zhang Lingfeng in their hearts, lamenting his foolishness.
"If my daughter hadnât considered you a friend and hoped I could help you, you would never have met me. Itâs a pity you donât take my Mental Telekinesis seriously, I donât know whether youâre arrogantly ignorant or simply donât understand the significance of a Mental Telekinesis Master!"
Huang Ling released a powerful wave of Mental Telekinesis, hoping Zhang Lingfeng realizes his mistake and apologizes to her.
