Ripple Princess

"I heard that Zuo Haoran is a member of the 'Falcon Gun Club'. He goes to the shooting range every weekend to play with guns. He shoots dozens of times more bullets in a year than ordinary students. Many Rocket Class students are not as good as him. Meng Chao, you were really reckless this time."

Class beauty Gu Fang, having recognized Zuo Haoran's true colors, revealed the information she had managed to gather.

"What to do then? Meng Chao's marksmanship is at least several dozen points behind Zuo Haoran. No matter how fast he runs or how hard he punches, he won't be able to catch up, right?"

"Meng Chao is still too impulsive. Then again, those trash talks earlier made me want to beat Zuo Haoran up. Being impulsive is normal."

"Forget it, just go ahead and compete with confidence. Even if you lose, at least your spirit is commendable."

"Yeah, it's not shameful for Meng Chao to lose to Zuo Haoran. If you ask me, as long as he's within fifty points, it's a win!"

"Strength, speed, and marksmanship—as long as you can win in one of those categories against Zuo Haoran, you win. We believe in you."

The classmates' encouragement made Meng Chao feel a surge of warmth.

He thought for a moment and decided that he shouldn't be too pretentious and should be sincere.

"Thank you, everyone, but my marksmanship is actually quite strong."

"Hehe, how strong?" The classmates smiled politely, giving him some face.

Meng Chao recalled the essence of various gun disassembly and shooting techniques in his mind, the images of various gun draws, shots, throws, headshots, and blind snipes, and the experience of blasting demons and monsters in his previous life.

"If I had to use one word to describe it, it would probably be..."

He said reservedly, "'Perfect,' perhaps?"

The dispute in the testing room had everyone excited for the whole day.

During the afternoon self-study session, Meng Chao didn't hold back and shared the Modified Ripple Force with his classmates.

The results were not satisfactory. Apart from the homeroom teacher, none of the other students could see the mysteries.

This was normal. Ordinary Citizens had limited comprehension abilities. It was impossible to become an expert instantly just by getting a secret manual.

Yesterday, Meng Chao had exhausted his mind helping Chu Feixiong adjust his acupoints one by one, which was even more tiring than cultivating himself.

Today, he obviously had no interest in adjusting everyone in the class.

Moreover, the Ripple Force simulated a never-ending tide, making it more difficult to learn than the Wild Bull Technique. Even with hands-on teaching, it wasn't just about poking acupoints, but about pressing hands tightly against the skin, feeling the rhythm of the muscles, and then, like a blind masseur, exploring the muscles all over the body to slowly correct the incorrect exertion of force.

There was a dilemma here.

Even if the boys were willing to let Meng Chao explore their entire bodies to adjust them, Meng Chao wasn't willing.

He didn't even want to touch Chu Feixiong.

Okay, actually, the boys didn't like him touching them either.

As for the girls, Meng Chao was happy to help, but the girls seemed to suspect that he had ulterior motives and avoided him like the plague.

Even the class beauty, Gu Fang, disappointed Meng Chao's good intentions.

"You're really judging a gentleman's heart with your own petty mind. I'm wholeheartedly contributing to the class, and you still think I want to touch you?" Meng Chao was exasperated.

After a self-study session, Meng Chao harvested 12 Contribution Points from the homeroom teacher, while the other students earned at most one or two, totaling 76 Contribution Points.

Meng Chao mentally calculated that a single Elementary Healing Technique cost a little over a thousand Contribution Points, and repairing all his hidden injuries would require three treatments, approximately 3,500.

Advancing the Raging Bull Force and Ripple Force from "Expert" to "Master" would each require thousands of Contribution Points, not to mention upgrading Basic Gunmanship from "Perfect" to "Ultimate."

Adding the upgrade for Elementary Harvesting Technique and igniting the Dragon Snake Force, it would all add up to around 10,000 Contribution Points.

This didn't even include the two compulsory cold weapon combat skills, Hundred Battles Blade Technique and Thunder Cross Sword.

Accumulating a hundred or so Contribution Points each day would only amount to seven or eight hundred after a week, not even enough to exchange for a single Elementary Healing Technique.

"I must open up new channels to be confident in the college entrance exam," Meng Chao mused.

After school, he found his best friend: "Feixiong, go find Devil Yan later and ask him to guide you in the Super Raging Bull Force."

Chu Feixiong was taken aback: "Why? Devil Yan doesn't just teach our class. Wouldn't asking him for guidance expose us?"

"Two benefits," Meng Chao explained. "First, aren't you planning to apply to a military academy? Devil Yan used to be a hardcore instructor. Although he's retired, he still has close ties with the military. If you discuss the Super Raging Bull Force with him, he'll definitely see you in a new light, making your path in the military easier in the future."

"But I can't use your..." Chu Feixiong was anxious.

Meng Chao waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't worry, hear me out. More importantly, I want to challenge the class monitor but need to guard against his uncle. Teacher Wang is a good person, but not enough to contend with the director of education. Looking at the whole school, only Devil Yan, besides the principal, can go toe-to-toe with the director of education."

Actually, there was a third reason.

Ever since he encountered an Elite Monster last night, Meng Chao had been wondering who else resembled an "Elite Citizen."

In Ninth High School, besides the principal, only Devil Yan had the aura of an Elite Monster.

"Wouldn't that be too serious? Even if you defeat the class monitor, it's all according to the rules. What excuse would the director of education have to target you?" Chu Feixiong was still puzzled.

"What if I don't just want to defeat him, but also cripple him?" Meng Chao's eyes flashed fiercely.

In his previous life, Zuo Haoran caused him to fail the college entrance exam and later betrayed Dragon City, killing countless people.

In this life, how could Meng Chao let this scum have an easy time?

Chu Feixiong was startled: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing. Just listen to me, and you won't go wrong. Besides, this can't be hidden—next week's test will show that our class's 100-meter sprint and limit punch force have greatly improved. Do you think everyone is stupid and won't get to the bottom of it?"

Meng Chao patted the big white bear's shoulder, "Instead of waiting for others to secretly steal our techniques, we might as well be generous and try to get a good impression from Devil Yan and the principal, and by the way, exchange for some benefits. Besides, I've learned many secret methods from the life science forum on the Deep Web. I have plenty of trump cards."

Chu Feixiong was relieved: "Then I'll go find Devil Yan with you. Let's apply to the military academy together then?"

Meng Chao shook his head: "The military academy is too strict. Free hunting is more suitable for me. As for the Modified Ripple Force, I do need to find an expert to exchange ideas... Who should I look for? Devil Yan follows a fierce and forceful path, perfect for teaching you. I want to find someone who is particularly skilled in Ripple Force."

Chu Feixiong thought for a moment: "Then why don't you look for 'Ripple Princess'? She's best at guiding teenagers in the basics of Ripple Force, definitely better than Teacher Wang and Devil Yan."

"Ripple Princess?" Meng Chao's eyes lit up.

"Ripple Princess" Yan Feirou, a sophomore at Dragon City University, vice president of the Dragon City University Martial Arts Research Association, and a two-star Superhuman.

Her grandfather, Yan Hengbo, was the head of the Ripple Force research team. Although he was seriously injured in battle in his early years and no longer had his former strength, his sharp eyes and amazing martial arts wisdom still made him a grandmaster of his generation.

Her father, Yan Zhennan, popularized the Yan Family Ripple in actual combat and is a very famous monster hunter, constantly walking in the depths of the mist, more ferocious than monsters.

In order to promote her family's martial arts, Yan Feirou gave open classes on Dragon City's largest live streaming platform, "Sky Eye Live," and quickly attracted countless fans with her youthful and beautiful image and her consummate Ripple Force.

Every time she taught a class, whether it was clicks, likes, comments, barrages, or viewers' payments and rewards, they were all among the best on the entire platform.

As a result, she was hyped by the live streaming platform and social media as the "Ripple Princess," the "goddess" in the hearts of countless passionate teenagers.

After Meng Chao was injured in his second year of high school, he used Ripple Force to rehabilitate, and he watched a lot of this "Ripple Princess"'s open classes.

Moreover, after Chu Feixiong reminded him, Meng Chao's head throbbed faintly, and some fragments of memory floated up from the depths of his brain.

In his past life's memories, Yan Feirou's final achievements seemed to have surpassed those of her father and grandfather, becoming the well-deserved "Ripple Queen," an existence that Meng Chao, a "third-rate expert," looked up to.

The "Future Ripple Force" that Meng Chao awakened seemed to be the result of Yan Feirou's countless bloody battles, drawing on the strengths of many schools, and being tempered and refined.

Of course, the current Yan Feirou is still a delicate sophomore girl, and the so-called "princess" is nothing more than the praise of well-wishers.

Her Ripple Force is still very immature and in need of guidance from kind people.

Meng Chao was excited for a while.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong: "Wait, Fatty Xiong, aren't you focused on cultivating the Raging Bull Force, taking the path of being strong and unparalleled? You once said that Ripple Force is only practiced by sissies, so how are you so familiar with the 'Ripple Princess'?"

Chu Feixiong coughed for a while.

"You know." The two-hundred-plus-pound fatty winked.

Meng Chao understood instantly.

On the way home, Meng Chao went to the vegetable market to buy two props, a piece of Sword Halberd Demon Pig meat and a piece of the most tender water tofu.

These were for guiding the Ripple Princess through the internet later.

No one was home. His father and brothers went to Jiu Xin to handle their resignation, his mother went to the community clinic to massage her legs, and his younger sister's school arranged a visit to the Thermal Power Plant to see what it was like to use flame-type monsters such as the Fire Qilin to generate electricity.

Meng Chao opened the live streaming platform, and coincidentally, there was an entrance to "Ripple Princess Yan Feirou's" open class on the homepage, and she was teaching.

On the cover was a girl with slightly flushed cheeks, wearing yoga clothes, and full of vitality.

The live streaming platform also used special effects to draw a small princess crown on her beautiful hair.

Her Ripple Force came from a family tradition and had already been cultivated to perfection, and her image was so healthy and beautiful. No wonder there were 30,000 people watching her open class in real time in Dragon City alone.
