Old Liu asked Tang Zichen.
It was entirely out of concern.
In his eyes, Tang Zichen was an outstanding prospect, a flawless piece of uncut jade. Naturally, he did not want her to fail in the secret realm because she had chosen the wrong teammates.
Not to mention that the principal had repeatedly reminded him to take good care of Tang Zichen...
The classroom
fell silent at once.
Almost everyone looked at Tang Zichen, waiting for her answer.
The students also wanted to know who could be so lucky as to team up with Tang Zichen.
"Sorry, Teacher."
Tang Zichen said calmly, "I haven't gotten the other person's consent yet, so it isn't convenient for me to say."
Old Liu was somewhat stunned.
The students were even more surprised.
Tang Zichen was actually the one pursuing this unilaterally?
How infuriating!
Which bastard was it?!
Teacher Liu frowned and decided to approach the question from another angle.
"Is it Zhao Zheng, Cao Yu, Fang Zhihua, Qianqian... one of them?"
All of them possessed S-class talents, and highly ranked S-class talents at that.
He had not mentioned Yan Kai because Yan Kai had just been rejected.
In Teacher Liu's eyes, only these students in the class were qualified to team up with Tang Zichen without holding her back.
As a teacher, openly naming only these people in front of the students was obviously unfriendly toward the others and damaging to their confidence.
Old Liu knew that too.
But for Tang Zichen's future, he could not concern himself with that.
Those whose names had been called
all revealed expectant expressions.
"None of them," Tang Zichen answered truthfully.
Teacher Liu's expression changed upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something else, Tang Zichen cut him off first. "Teacher, there's no need to say any more. I know what I'm doing."
Hearing that, Teacher Liu's heartfelt advice caught in his throat.
After a month of contact, he had gained some understanding of the students' personalities. He knew Tang Zichen was a girl with strong convictions and a firm character.
Once Tang Zichen made up her mind about something, it was difficult for anyone else to persuade her.
After thinking for a moment, Old Liu suddenly said to the students, "I remember when I was in school, there were forty-seven freshmen in my class. But in the end, only thirty-one made it out of Secret Realm 1 alive!"
"And that was only the first secret realm."
"By the time I graduated, there were only six students left from my original class, myself included..."
Hearing such a death rate,
the students were all somewhat frightened.
"In short, secret realms are no joke. You must be cautious and rational when choosing teammates! Never let personal feelings make you reach the wrong judgment!"
After leaving behind those pointed words,
Old Liu left.
He gave the students some space.
He had said everything he needed to say.
If he stayed any longer, the students would feel somewhat uncomfortable, and it would be harder for them to find teammates.
As soon as Old Liu left,
the classroom immediately became lively.
The students all began looking for teammates.
Except for Chen Ye, Qian Fugui, and Tang Zichen...
It was easy to understand why no one paid attention to the first two. The teacher had said that teammates had to be chosen carefully, and no one should pick someone who would hold them back.
Whether it was Chen Ye or Qian Fugui, everyone saw them as dead weight.
As for Tang Zichen, no one dared approach her anymore.
Seeing his classmates chatting enthusiastically, Qian Fugui felt very envious.
At that moment, he regretted choosing Compatibility S7, that massive trap, for the first time.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Chen Ye, who was likewise being ignored. He hesitated several times, but ultimately said nothing. Then he got up and left the classroom.
Chen Ye quietly sighed in relief.
He had seen the look in Qian Fugui's eyes just now.
It had clearly been the expression of someone planning to make do by forming a team with him!
If Qian Fugui had really asked, Chen Ye would have found it difficult to refuse.
After all, they were classmates.
Fortunately, Qian Fugui had not said anything.
Afterward,
Chen Ye also got up and left the classroom.
As for forming a team,
he was not particularly interested.
With his current strength, even without a weapon, he could easily crush those zombies in Secret Realm 1.
As for sleeping and resting,
as long as he scattered a little glutinous rice beside him before going to sleep, it should keep the zombies from approaching.
When he returned to the dormitory, Qian Fugui was not there. Chen Ye had no idea where he had gone.
Chen Ye walked over to the mirror.
Suddenly,
he took a deep breath, and the muscles all over his body began to ripple.
"Crack, crack..."
The sound of bones grinding against one another rang out.
Chen Ye's body actually began shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths,
his height changed from one meter eighty-five to just over one meter sixty.
He had shrunk by a full twenty centimeters.
Aside from becoming shorter, his facial features also changed...
Looking at his completely transformed appearance in the mirror, Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction.
What he had just used was the Light Body Technique!
After a month of practice, his Light Body Technique had finally reached the beginner level, allowing him to alter his body shape and appearance.
And...
Chen Ye moved his hands and feet, finding that it barely affected his movements.
If he ever made enemies in the future,
he could use the Light Body Technique to change his appearance and give them a punch.
That was right!
This was why Chen Ye had learned the Light Body Technique!!
By noon,
his roommates returned one after another.
However, none of them seemed to be in particularly high spirits.
Chen Ye could understand why Qian Fugui was unhappy. After all, he was despised as dead weight and could not find anyone to team up with.
But why was Zhao Zheng in such low spirits too?
Among the freshmen, aside from Tang Zichen, his talent was the best.
Not long after returning,
Zhao Zheng stood up, seemingly preparing to go out.
"Brother Zhao, it's almost time to eat. Where are you going?" Lu Yong asked.
Zhao Zheng said, "I'm going to wash my face in the restroom."
After Zhao Zheng left, Qian Fugui asked curiously, "Lu Yong, what's wrong with Brother Zhao? Couldn't he find anyone to team up with either?"
"With Brother Zhao's talent, do you think that's possible?" Lu Yong scoffed. "As long as Brother Zhao wants to form a team, no one in class except Class Monitor Tang would reject him."
"Then what's with Brother Zhao...?"
"Sigh! He's troubled by love!"
"Huh?"
"What do you mean, huh? Isn't it normal for Brother Zhao to want a relationship? I changed girlfriends three times in high school. And can't you tell? Brother Zhao actually likes Class Monitor Tang a lot! He's in a bad mood this time because Class Monitor Tang made it clear that she won't choose Brother Zhao as her teammate..."
Hearing that, Qian Fugui exclaimed, "So that's what it was. I only just found out about this."
Chen Ye was slightly stunned.
He had only just learned that Zhao Zheng was interested in Tang Zichen as well.
Mainly because Chen Ye had long been used to slacking off. Once he finished the Saitama Training Method, he would return to the dormitory and lie around, rarely paying attention to his roommates' romantic affairs.
Unlike Lu Yong, who often followed behind Zhao Zheng like a lackey who treated Zhao Zheng as his leader. He must have observed things more carefully.
Thinking about it, it was actually normal.
Among the boys in the class, probably very few could resist a beauty on Tang Zichen's level.
It was just that many people knew their own limits.
They knew they were not worthy of her, so they did not entertain such thoughts.
But people with good talent like Zhao Zheng believed the gap between themselves and Tang Zichen was smaller. Only then did they dare to hope for a chance with her.
A moment later,
Zhao Zheng returned, seemingly having adjusted his mindset.
"Come on, brothers. Let's go eat at the cafeteria."
The others were just about to agree.
Suddenly,
there was a knock on the door.
A male student walked in and looked at Chen Ye with a strange expression.
"Chen Ye, Class Monitor Tang is looking for you. She said she's waiting for you in the small woods behind the dormitory building."
Everyone: "..."
Zhao Zheng, who had just adjusted his mindset, broke down again...
