Chapter 982

"How is this possible—"

Everyone seemed to transform from wax figures into True Person in an instant, exclaiming in surprise. These young masters all possessed astonishing lung capacity; the shockwaves nearly lifted the ceiling and even attracted the waiter to check if the room was on fire.

"Ren Junshuang, you're lying, right? It's only been two years, how could the class monitor have become Spirit Transformation?"

"I knew the class monitor was highly skilled when we were in school, but not this ridiculously so. I remember her Internal Cultivation was level eight or nine when we graduated. How could she possibly advance to the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage in just two years?"

"Ren Junshuang, you wouldn't be teaming up with the class monitor to play a trick on us, would you?"

Ren Junshuang said with dissatisfaction, "What's the point of playing tricks on something that's so easy to verify? If I were to play tricks on you, I would definitely choose something that you would easily believe."

These words made perfect sense. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and one person cautiously asked, "Class monitor, have you really advanced to the Spirit Transformation?"

"Um."

Murong Qing released a trace of the aura of a Nascent Spirit Transformation, startling several girls who fell to the ground.

Now no one doubted it anymore. Even though many people had never been in contact with Spirit Transformation, they could still feel that the aura emanating from Murong Qing was worlds apart from their own.

As a result, everyone's gaze towards Murong Qing changed instantly. Even several girls who were originally close to Murong Qing couldn't help but shrink back, as if they were looking at a complete stranger.

Murong Qing sighed. This was precisely why she was unwilling to publicize it in a high-profile manner. To ordinary martial artists, Spirit Transformation Grandmaster was an object of such reverence, as different from a god.

"Hmph, hahaha..."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out, and everyone turned to look. It was Si Ming.

"Now you know how powerful I am, right? Do you want to know how to make a female Spirit Transformation your girlfriend?" Si Ming said smugly, hands on his hips and nose in the air.

This scene instantly pulled everyone back to reality from their shocked, surreal world. Some clever boys immediately joined in the fun, disrupting the tense atmosphere.

"Big brother! Si Ming, from now on you're my real big brother!"

"Get out of my way! 'Big Brother' is not a title you can use. What nonsense are you trying to claim! Si Ming, please pass on your peerless secret manual to me. From now on, you will be my master, and I will be your disciple. I promise to bring glory to our sect."

"Si Ming, we're practically brothers, we've been through thick and thin together, even sharing bathroom breaks. I treated you to several packs of spicy strips back in our second year of high school. Don't forget your brother just because you've become successful! What's that saying again...?"

If I become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other.

"Yes, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget us. You can't forget your brothers just because you have a woman."

After the boys' banter, the atmosphere immediately livened up. Although the girls were still a bit stiff, they finally lost that sense of distance from looking at a deity.

Some people still asked incredulously, "Squad leader, have you really Spirit Transformation?"

The girl next to her nudged her with her elbow, and the other girl immediately snapped out of her daze, hurriedly explaining, "Class monitor, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just... I just think I might be dreaming."

Murong Qing smiled and said, "Even if I become Spirit Transformation, I'll still be your high school classmate. No matter what the future holds, the past can never be changed."

This statement is actually ambiguous. If you want to nitpick, you could ask, "Do you want to change the past and not be our classmate anymore?" However, only someone who's lost their mind would do that.

With this statement, the girl was finally able to let go of her cautious attitude and talk to Murong Qing, at least on the surface she didn't have to appear so reserved.

"It's unbelievable! I actually spent three years as classmates with a Nascent Spirit Transformation. Nobody would believe it if I told them!"

"I regret it so much. I should have tried harder to please the class monitor and become her best friend back then. That way, I could have gotten close to her. I wonder if it's too late to make up for it now."

"Class monitor, what does it feel like to advance to the Nascent Spirit Transformation? Some people say it's like becoming an immortal, is that true?"

The girls changed their previous individual conversations and started chattering incessantly around Murong Qing.

Just kidding. Being a supporting character to a Nascent Spirit Transformation isn't a matter of willingness or unwillingness; it's something you can't even get by trying. Countless people are lining up to be supporting characters. Even from a purely self-interested perspective, having a high school classmate who has become Spirit Transformation can intimidate many people, which is very beneficial for future development.

The girl who had previously disliked Murong Qing the most was the most enthusiastic, as if all the unpleasant things from the past had become fond childhood memories. She tried to ingratiate herself with Murong Qing indirectly, which made those who knew her secretly curse her for being shameless, but no one said it to her face. They all knew very well that now that Murong Qing had become Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, jealousy and resentment had lost their meaning. A frog will compete with a toad to see who can jump higher, but it won't compete with an eagle.

Compared to the girls' tendency to be inflexible, the boys' communication is undoubtedly much more rough and bold.

What's it like to have a girlfriend who's at the Spirit Transformation level?

Si Ming waved his hand arrogantly. "I don't feel anything. Anyway, they all have to listen to me. A woman follows her husband wherever he goes."

This immediately drew boos from a large crowd.

"You can't beat them in a fight, but if the class monitor tells you to kneel on a washboard, do you dare refuse?"

"She dares!"

Another chorus of boos erupted.

Si Ming had no choice; the title of Spirit Transformation was indeed effective. He could only say, "Actually, Murong Qing influenced by her father and studied the Confucian School Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues, one of which is that the husband is the head of the household, so she listens to me very much."

This reason is much more acceptable than before, but it has also attracted more jealousy.

"Powerful, beautiful, elegant in public, skilled in the kitchen, and obedient to men— Si Ming, you're incredibly lucky."

Some were unwilling to accept this. "Tch, clinging to a woman's coattails, wouldn't that make him a gigolo who lives off a woman?"

Many more people were disdainful. "You're just jealous. If it were me, I'd be thrilled. Would you want a girlfriend like that?"

The other party pretended to be nonchalant and said, "If you really insist on giving it to me, then I can only reluctantly agree."

This immediately drew a chorus of boos.

Of course, some people maliciously said, "Si Ming, you need to be careful. According to the laws of this country, the class monitor is allowed to have multiple spouses. If you don't serve the class monitor well, be careful she doesn't find you a brother-in-law."

Si Ming smiled contemptuously and said, "So you Mohist School men simply don't understand the goodness of Confucian School women. Let me tell you, she not only listens to me, but also privately advises me to find more sisters. According to Confucian School, a real man should have many wives and concubines. Having many women proves your ability and also proves that you are not a jealous woman."

The boys all thought Si Ming was definitely bragging. How could a dignified Nascent Spirit Transformation Grandmaster possibly humble himself like that? However, they soon realized that Murong Qing hadn't commented on it, and with the hearing of Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, it was impossible for him not to hear these words. So there was only one answer.
