Chapter 8 - The School's Number One? What a Joke

Chapter 8: The School’s Number One? What a Joke

The two arrived at the square.

The lights on the aircraft carrier were always on. There was no distinction between day and night. So, at this time, there were quite a few people active in the square.

After three weeks, everyone had gained some internal energy. They all wanted to find a spacious place to show off their skills.

Many people were sparring and practicing in the square.

Fists and feet flew.

People chasing and playing around were running faster than world champions in the 100 meters. However, the combination of the handsome Li Chengfeng and the beautiful Shu Fuyao was very eye-catching.

As they walked, the rate of people turning to look at them was not 100%, but it was certainly 99%. The rooms near the square were mostly occupied by students from Modu University.

So, most of the people active in the square were from the same university.

“Hey, isn’t that Shu, the campus belle?”

“I heard she’s an SS-level genius, but she can’t cultivate.”

“I knew it, heaven is fair. It’s impossible for her to be so beautiful and have such great talent.”

“Exactly, she can’t have all the good things to herself.”

“Who’s that handsome guy with her? He’s quite good-looking.”

“If you don’t even recognize him, I doubt you’re really from Modu University!”

“Tell us quickly.”

“One of Modu University’s two campus heartthrobs, Li Chengfeng. He’s from the sports department, has a great physique, is handsome, and is amazing at table tennis. He was the national table tennis champion and was supposed to compete in the Olympics this year. Unfortunately, with the apocalypse, there might never be another Olympics.”

Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao were walking.

Suddenly, someone ran out and blocked their way.

It was Chu Xiang.

One of Modu University’s two campus heartthrobs.

Because he had been at the university longer, he was more famous than Li Chengfeng.

Chu Xiang smiled warmly at Shu Fuyao:

“Fuyao, you’re out for some activity too? I’ve been busy with cultivation lately and haven’t had a chance to see you. How have you been?”

At school, Chu Xiang had always been a devoted pursuer of Shu Fuyao.

He was also considered the most promising suitor.

After all, he was handsome, came from a wealthy family, and was the president of the student council.

Shu Fuyao, on the other hand, was adorned with various honors and had won numerous competition trophies representing the school.

Such a perfect man was considered a match for the equally perfect campus belle, Shu Fuyao. So, their pairing was highly anticipated.

Chu Xiang even prided himself on being Shu Fuyao’s prospective boyfriend.

Shu Fuyao remained expressionless:

“Pretty good.”

“That’s good. Did you know that I’ve already reached level 6?”

Shu Fuyao just responded with a faint “Oh.”

“Tsk!”

Chu Xiang was very dissatisfied with her reaction:

“Your man is already at level 6, the top in the school. Shouldn’t you be very happy?”

Shu Fuyao’s expression turned cold. It was as if a thousand-year frost had descended:

“You are not my man. If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“I wasn’t talking about now, I meant in the future!”

Chu Xiang laughed dryly, already displeased with Li Chengfeng standing beside her.

He reached out and gave Li Chengfeng a shove.

Pointing at Li Chengfeng, he said sternly:

“I’m warning you, she’s my woman. Stay away from her in the future.”

The surrounding students all stopped in their tracks.

Ready to watch the drama unfold.

“Two campus heartthrobs fighting over the campus belle, explosive!”

“There’s a good show to watch, a good show.”

“Chu Xiang’s internal energy is the highest in the school, Li Chengfeng is in for a tough time.”

Smack!

Chu Xiang’s face collided with Shu Fuyao’s palm.

A crisp slapping sound echoed.

Chu Xiang, in disbelief, covered his face:

“Why did you hit me?”

Shu Fuyao’s expression was as cold as thousand-year-old ice:

“If you dare tarnish my reputation again, it won’t be just a slap.”

A person’s patience has its limits.

Chu Xiang had tolerated Shu Fuyao again and again, but being slapped in public was the last straw:

“Damn it, you bitch! You can’t even cultivate. It’s your good fortune that I fancy you. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Smack!

Chu Xiang’s face collided with Li Chengfeng’s palm.

Another crisp slapping sound echoed.

“Oh—”

The onlooking students started to jeer.

“Wow, it looks like the campus belle Shu is siding with Li Chengfeng.”

“How could this be? I thought she was more likely to be with Chu Xiang.”

“I never heard any rumors about her and Li Chengfeng before.”

“It’s all messed up, what’s going on here?”

Chu Xiang’s cheeks had each been slapped once.

Hearing the surrounding jeers, his face turned red, and he became furious.

“Damn it, even a small fry like you dares to touch me? You’re looking for death!”

He swung a full-force punch at Li Chengfeng.

The punch whistled through the air.

Everyone was shocked.

What a fast punch! Is this the power of reaching level 6? It was four times the strength and speed of an ordinary person!

Would it punch through someone?

This punch might seem fast to others, but to Li Chengfeng, who had already reached level 7 with a “spirit” of 90 points, it appeared like a slow-motion action at 0.8x speed.

The higher the spirit, the better the insight and the shorter the neural reaction time.

Moreover, this punch was really ordinary and lacked any technique.

In his eyes, this reckless full-force strike was nothing but a joke!

Li Chengfeng brought his five fingers together, using his hand as a sword. He executed a basic technique from the “Micro Tremor Sword Technique,” deflecting the punch with a flick.

The direction of the punch immediately changed.

It struck the air instead.

Chu Xiang was startled and had no time to react.

The next moment, he felt as if an iron hammer had struck his chest.

His chest cavity was filled with intense pain.
