After the exclamation, everyone turned their gazes toward a girl wearing thick black-rimmed glasses. One of them asked tentatively:

"Class Monitor! Did you... break through to Body Tempering Layer One?"

"I just broke through last night!"

Wang Jing replied, her gaze toward Qin Chen filled with equal shock.

She couldn't understand it!

One had to know that her Spiritual Energy Aptitude was the highest in the class, reaching 51 points.

Furthermore, her family's financial situation wasn't bad; she had already used over ten vials of Body Tempering Fluid in the past two days. Even so, it was only last night that she had finally broken through to Body Tempering Layer One.

How could Qin Chen, who had a Spiritual Energy Aptitude of only 1 point and came from a home so poor that even mice wouldn't bother visiting, break through to Body Tempering Layer One in such a short amount of time?

Wang Jing frowned deeply, unable to figure out the reason no matter how she thought about it.

On the other side, Qin Chen stepped forward, slowly walking toward He Yi.

"You... don't come any closer!"

He Yi's tone was filled with panic. Enduring the pain in his body, he braced his hands against the ground and retreated repeatedly.

He had, of course, also noticed that Qin Chen had stepped into Body Tempering Layer One.

Like everyone else, he was completely baffled. In terms of numbers, his Spiritual Energy Aptitude was 42 times that of Qin Chen's, yet he was still a distance away from reaching Body Tempering Layer One.

How on earth did Qin Chen have the ability to step into Body Tempering Layer One in such a short time?

But now was clearly not the time for him to dwell on such things. Watching Qin Chen approach, he saw the indifferent expression on his face.

A profound sense of fear welled up from the bottom of He Yi's heart.

Qin Chen arrived in front of He Yi, looking down at him from above, and asked in a calm voice:

"What was it you said just now? You'd beat me every time you saw me?"

"I'm standing right here now. Come on! Hit me!"

He Yi: ...

There was a curse word he wasn't sure if he should say.

Although he was arrogant, he didn't want to be treated as stupid as a Japanese person!

Qin Chen had already displayed the strength of Body Tempering Layer One; what was he supposed to fight him with, his head?

"Since you aren't saying anything, I guess I'll have to make the first move!"

Qin Chen's indifferent voice drifted over, causing He Yi's expression to change abruptly.

He hurriedly spoke up:

"I... I'll give you Star Coins!"

"Don't hit me!"

Qin Chen paused his movements and spoke languidly:

"How much?"

"Ten thousand?"

Qin Chen narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but crack his knuckles.

"Twenty thousand! Twenty thousand Star Coins!"

"Add a bit more?"

"I can't add any more!"

"Hmm?!!"

In the end, after a round of friendly negotiations between the two, the price was finalized at fifty thousand Star Coins.

As He Yi transferred the Star Coins to Qin Chen via his Virtual Terminal, his heart was bleeding.

Although his family was well-off, fifty thousand Star Coins still amounted to his pocket money for a very long time.

In one fell swoop... it was all gone!

If Qin Chen hadn't been aiming his fist at his most important leg earlier, he would never have agreed to pay so much, even if it killed him.

Damn it! Once I break through to become a Martial Artist, I'll definitely make you pay!

He Yi thought to himself, a deep sense of hatred hidden in the depths of his eyes.

When that time came, he would make Qin Chen pay it all back with interest.

He Yi endured the pain in his body and tried to stand up.

But just then, he suddenly discovered a familiar, large foot appearing before his eyes once again. Before he could even react to the situation, that same foot kicked him squarely in the face.

The sudden sensation of weightlessness and pain left He Yi stunned.

Wait, hadn't he already paid the money? Why was he still being hit?

Before he could think any further, Qin Chen's fists began to rain down like raindrops, striking him repeatedly.

For a moment, screams rose and fell, echoing throughout the classroom.

"Gulp!"

Watching Qin Chen brutally beat He Yi, everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.

Was this really the weak-willed Qin Chen they remembered?

What was with this posture, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus?

At this moment, He Yi was feeling very uncomfortable, but Qin Chen was feeling great!

In the process of beating He Yi, the pent-up frustration of the original owner gradually dissipated.

As for why he beat He Yi even after taking his money?

It seemed he had never said from the beginning to the end that he wouldn't hit He Yi just because he gave him Star Coins, right?

Qin Chen didn't consider himself a magnanimous person.

Although it was the original owner whom He Yi had beaten repeatedly, the one who possessed this body now was him.

Therefore, some grudges that needed to be settled had to be settled!

I don't know how much time passed.

"Stop! What are you two doing?!"

A loud roar came from the doorway.

Looking toward the sound, they saw a middle-aged woman with a wide waist and broad hips, as thick as a vat and just as tall, standing at the classroom entrance, staring at Qin Chen and the other with sharp eyes.

Wang Yuemei!

The homeroom teacher of Qin Chen's class.

She enjoyed the reputation of being a "Tank" in the class!

This was not only because of her physique, but also because of the rough, booming voice she used when she spoke.

"Teacher! It's nothing, classmate He Yi was asking me to help him practice his Hard Body Combat Technique."

"He said that the best way to achieve the best training effect for this technique is through physical strikes!"

Qin Chen looked at Wang Yuemei and said calmly, without a hint of timidity.

Wang Yuemei narrowed her eyes slightly, shifting her gaze from Qin Chen to He Yi.

The moment she saw He Yi, even with her years of composure, she was slightly stunned.

She would bet her life on it!

Right now, even if He Yi's own mother came, she absolutely wouldn't recognize him—one hundred percent!

She couldn't help but look at He Yi suspiciously and ask:

"Is what Qin Chen said true?"

He Yi: "%&%#&%*%..."

Wang Yuemei: ...

Forgive her for her lack of education; she had never learned the language He Yi was currently speaking.

After a moment of silence, Wang Yuemei continued:

"Then why were the two of you training in the classroom? Look at how many desks you've smashed!"

"It's just that He Yi was too impatient; he couldn't even wait until we got to the Training Ground."

"I tried to advise him, but he wouldn't listen!"

For a moment, everyone in the class stared at Qin Chen, who was standing not far away, with dumbfounded expressions.

To be fair, this was the first time they had ever seen someone tell such a blatant lie with a straight face; it was truly an eye-opening experience.

In the end, the matter concluded with He Yi paying for the damages to the desks.

Although Wang Yuemei knew that the truth was likely not what Qin Chen had told her, she didn't want to get too involved.

Instead, she gave Qin Chen a deep, meaningful look.

Reaching Body Tempering Layer One three days after awakening was not something worth being shocked about.

But if this person's Star Energy Aptitude was only 1, then things became interesting...

On the other side, He Yi did not return to his seat but was instead helped to the infirmary.

Qin Chen hadn't held back; the guy had at least a dozen broken ribs.

And that was just the surface-level damage.

While beating He Yi earlier, he had also used the techniques of the Seven Injuries Fist to cripple He Yi's "little brother."

As mentioned before, he was never a magnanimous person.

If it weren't for the fact that his current strength wasn't enough to handle the aftermath of killing He Yi, He Yi likely wouldn't have even had the chance to go to the infirmary.

The incident between He Yi and Qin Chen was just a small interlude. Soon, everyone in the class turned their attention back to Wang Yuemei at the front.

Wang Yuemei swept her gaze across the room, cleared her throat softly, and began:

"Tomorrow is the day of our first Class Battle!"

"I trust you have all made your preparations!"

"I already informed you of the ranking rewards on the day of your Awakening, but there is a more important piece of news I need to share with you now!"

At this point, Wang Yuemei paused, scanned the crowd below once more, and then continued:

"The school..."
