(Wang Dong'er beauty)
"..." Lin Ye's mouth fell open before he could stop it.
Huo Yuhao?
If he was going to run laps, why was he carrying a stick?
The next second, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Huo Yuhao slowly raised the wooden stick in his hand as he ran, carving a sharp arc through the curtain of rain.
The rain split apart in an instant, splashing up in a spray of white water.
"?????"
More than a thousand teachers and students were left dumbfounded all at once.
Lin Ye's eyes widened. Wait, I didn't even give him a quest. How did Huo Yuhao just... Jiahao himself?!
In the pouring rain, the frail figure swung the wooden stick wildly.
His movements weren't exactly textbook, but that aura... he looked like he was wielding an unparalleled divine sword.
The teaching building fell completely silent.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
What the hell was this?!
Was he for real?!
Which classical young master had made his debut right there in the plaza?!
Meanwhile, in the upper-grade teaching building...
"Whoa, isn't that Huo Yuhao? Is he really not right in the head?"
Tang Ya's expression was utterly shocked, her face a sight to behold.
"I knew I shouldn't have dragged him into the Tang Sect!"
She simply couldn't believe anyone could be this ridiculous.
Not far away, Beibei wore a wide-brimmed hat, doing his best to hide his precarious receding hairline.
His pupils contracted. It wasn't because of Huo Yuhao on the field, but because a system panel had suddenly appeared in front of him!
[Ding! The Kidney Deficiency System has unlocked its main quest!] [By engaging in various activities that make yourself increasingly kidney-deficient, you can earn Kidney Deficiency Value!] [Kidney Deficiency Value can be exchanged for all kinds of generous rewards, including increased level, increased Soul Ring age, Soul Bones, and more!] [Kidney Deficiency Value +1] [Current Kidney Deficiency Value: 1!]
Beibei stared at the panel as his eyes slowly lit up. He steeled himself.
At least losing my hair wasn't for nothing! This system's got some real stuff!
Kidney deficiency? Easy! Once I get those heaven-defying rewards, I won't have to worry about restoring my kidneys!
The countless people watching the scene on the field reacted in all sorts of ways.
Some burst out laughing, tears streaming down their faces.
"I'm dying! This guy's way too cool!"
"Is he the Sword Saint reincarnated? Class monitor, you've gotta see this!"
"I never knew we had a national treasure among the new students! Which class is he in? I have to meet him!"
"This has to be the headline! Sword Dancing in the Rain!!"
In the rain.
[Heroic Value +1!] [Heroic Value +1!] [Heroic Value +1!] [...]
Huo Yuhao threw back his head and cried, "How exhilarating! I belong out there, wandering the jianghu!"
Watching his Heroic Value soar, Huo Yuhao felt utterly fantastic, as if some incredible sense of pride had been awakened within him.
So many students across the whole school were watching his solo performance!
The wooden stick spun around and around in his hand as rainwater streamed down his cheeks.
[Heroic Value +2!] [Heroic Value +3!] [...] [Current Heroic Value: 78]
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up!
That much already, in such a short time?! Awesome!
But just then...
"Here I come!!!"
A figure suddenly charged out of the teaching building and plunged straight into the downpour.
Huo Yuhao froze. A skinny boy was grinning as he rushed over!
"Hey, hey, don't hog all the limelight!"
He shouted with a laugh, then... dropped to the ground and started doing push-ups in the rain! One, two, three... Every movement was absolutely textbook!
The entire school: "..."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Lin Ye: 666! A real Jiahao's snuck in!! Are all the ones who can force-alkalize the earth here?
But before Huo Yuhao could react, someone else shouted, "Hahaha! Count me in!"
Another nimble fatty rushed out of the crowd in the classic Naruto-running pose,
plunged headfirst into the downpour, and started doing military boxing without a word!
His punches and kicks sent rainwater spraying in every direction!
Three people: one dancing with a sword, one doing push-ups, and one throwing punches.
How to put it... it was ridiculous, yet strangely fired-up.
More than a thousand students watched, fell silent for three seconds, then erupted into deafening uproar.
"Holy crap! That's awesome!"
"Did they plan this?"
"Even if they did, it couldn't be this ridiculous!"
Before long, class began, and no one watched the spectacle anymore.
With no more Heroic Value coming in, Huo Yuhao could only grit his teeth and keep running.
He couldn't stop.
If he stopped, he wouldn't be able to stand back up.
After that, Zhou Yi began the theory lesson.
Lin Ye couldn't be bothered to listen. There was nothing extra in the theory lesson; it was all basic theory.
It felt as if they had simply taken what they'd learned at the junior Soul Master academy, dressed it up in more advanced language, and gone over it again.
If this world had plagiarism checkers...
They might have managed a ninety-percent similarity score.
Bored, Lin Ye looked this way and that.
He kept feeling like someone was watching him from behind and to the side.
He turned his head...
Behind and to the side of Wang Dong'er sat a rather cute girl with two green braids.
When he looked over, she immediately turned her gaze away.
Could that be Xiao Xiao?
Was she looking at me or at Dong'er?
Lin Ye recalled the original story. Xiao Xiao was probably a huge admirer of good looks; from the start, she'd been captivated by Wang Dong'er's beauty while she was disguised as a boy.
How could I forget Xiao Xiao?
Let's give her a system too!
Lin Ye silently said in his mind, "System, bind the Shipper System to Xiao Xiao!"
[100 points consumed!] [Xiao Xiao, Subsystem binding successful!] [System binding successful. Remaining System Points: 224] [Binding reward received!] [Magic Item: Wind Fire Wheels!]
Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
Wind Fire Wheels?
Nezha's first four-piece set was complete!
At that moment, Xiao Xiao was still sneaking glances at Lin Ye and Wang Dong.
Two incredibly handsome guys!
She was eating way too well!
Every day, she got to see two such breathtakingly beautiful faces!
And they were so close, too...
They were kind of shippable...
Just then, a blue screen popped up in front of her!
[Detected an idolizing young girl. The Shipper System has been bound!]
Xiao Xiao jumped in fright, nearly falling off her chair.
"?!"
The students around her continued listening to the lesson, and nobody noticed anything strange about her.
Xiao Xiao stared at the screen in front of her. What is this thing?
Can nobody else see it?
More words appeared on the screen:
[Detected an idolizing young girl. The Shipper System has been bound!] [Xiao Ding by your side; your heart is full of gossip.] [Devoted confidants, shipping them every day!] [Remember: You must never let anyone else know this system exists!]
Xiao Xiao: What does that mean? A system?
Another line popped up...
[The fated one automatically receives the main quest: Have many children and blessings with your destined partner to receive generous rewards!] [When your destined partner appears, a heart will be marked on the system panel!]
Xiao Xiao instinctively glanced at Lin Ye and Wang Dong again.
A pink heart was floating conspicuously above Lin Ye's head!
Xiao Xiao's face flushed bright red.
What was going on?!
Was I dreaming?
Did nobody notice the heart above his head???
