"Jiang Ran, physical fitness level 1.82, martial arts score 80!"

Teacher Wang stood up and walked over to the testing apparatus to check it repeatedly.

The students of Class Three sitting around in a circle heard the grade announced by the teacher and fell silent at first, everyone stunned for a moment, and then burst into a chorus of exclamation all at once.

"Jiang Ran? I didn't hear that right..."

"Did something go wrong?"

"No way, Jiang Ran has always been at the bottom, how could he possibly have such a good score."

All the students were somewhat shocked, their first reaction being that it was impossible.

Jiang Ran's martial arts score was only eighty. although the improvement was also obvious, compared to other students' scores that routinely hit 90, it could not be considered outstanding.

However, a "physical fitness level of 1.82" was different. this meant that Jiang Ran's physical strength and bodily constitution were already approaching the second layer of Qi refinement.

One had to know that aside from Class Monitor Cheng Qian, no other student's physical fitness exceeded level two.

In other words, Jiang Ran had almost jumped from the bottom to the front of the class in one go.

Teacher Wang checked the apparatus repeatedly, a puzzled look on his face.

"It's not broken..."

"Jiang Ran, come over here for a moment."

To avoid any mistakes, Teacher Wang called Jiang Ran up to him and carefully examined his bones and muscles from top to bottom.

It was true, Jiang Ran's physical fitness had genuinely reached level 1.82!

Incredible...

"Jiang Ran, have you been taking any prohibited drugs recently?" Wang Changming asked in a low voice, his tone somewhat stern.

As the physical education teacher for the five classes of senior three, he was naturally crystal clear about the use of various strengthening potions.

The level one strengthening potions publicly sold by major pharmaceutical companies absolutely did not have this kind of effect.

Physical test records showed that in a physical test a little over two months ago, Jiang Ran's score was "physical fitness level 1.23, martial arts score 60".

Wang Changming had filled in that score himself, so of course he remembered it very clearly.

Jiang Ran's family background was ordinary, but he was fairly diligent in class and very respectful to the teachers. in truth, his martial arts score was only fifty-something, but Teacher Wang had intentionally rounded it up and given him a passing score of sixty so that his semester report would look a bit better.

Yet now, in less than three short months.

His physical fitness went from level 1.23 to level 1.82, a full improvement of 0.7 levels.

Wang Changming did not think this was the result of his own brilliant teaching.

"What prohibited drugs..." Jiang Ran wore a blank expression.

To be honest, he really didn't know anything about prohibited drugs.

"Teacher, my mind seems to have gotten a bit sharper recently, and my cultivation has sped up a lot."

Jiang Ran knew that all of this was the change brought by the Qi-Nourishing Cultivation Method, so naturally he had also carefully prepared a set of excuses.

"Your mind got sharper?"

"It's not entirely out of the question." Wang Changming pondered for a moment and continued speaking.

"Jiang Ran, you've had a breakthrough of enlightenment. if you can keep it up from now on, you might really be able to test into a good university."

"Work hard. come to the office to find me after class, I have several special potions here that are very suitable for you..."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Jiang Ran felt ashamed.

PE class ended quickly, the end-of-class bell rang, and everyone swarmed toward the cafeteria.

Jiang Ran's improved grades attracted the attention of quite a few students.

Aside from some of the original "poor students" who used to be at the bottom coming over to seek advice.

Xiao Yichen, the class PE representative, also came over to inquire for a long time, deliberately fishing for information and wanting to know if Jiang Ran had stumbled upon some stroke of fortune.

Xiao Yichen's grade was second in the class, with a physical fitness level of 1.99, just a hair's breadth away from stepping into level two, seeming second only to Class Monitor Cheng Qian.

Yet the actual situation was that Xiao Yichen possessed the cultivation of the second layer of Qi refinement, and this bit of achievement was simply not enough to look at.

When a classmate named Jiang Ran from an impoverished family background made such rapid and explosive progress, it was hard for people not to grow jealous.

"Jiang Ran, don't worry, I'll keep this matter a secret for you and absolutely never tell anyone."

"I didn't get any fortune." Jiang Ran shook his head.

"We're all classmates, we should share good things together instead of keeping them to ourselves!" Xiao Yichen grew somewhat anxious.

"I really don't have any..."

"Jiang Ran, how can you be like this? you're too selfish."

Faced with this kind of emotional outburst and reprimand, Jiang Ran suddenly stopped in his tracks, the smile on his face completely fading.

"I said, I don't."

"You..."

"Xiao Yichen, my patience is limited. you'd better stay away from me."

An invisible chill condensed and spread between the two of them.

Xiao Yichen, who possessed the cultivation of the second layer of Qi refinement, actually felt an unprecedented pressure coming from the other person.

He watched Jiang Ran gradually walk away, ultimately not daring to follow him any further.

"Damn it..." It wasn't until a long while later that he clenched his fists.

After a lapse of many days, Jiang Ran saw that tall figure once again.

When he returned home from school and reached his doorstep, he was shocked to find a head of long, wavy hair sunning itself by the fence.

"Su... Officer Su?"

After looking several times, Jiang Ran finally recognized that this beautiful woman was none other than the kindest Officer Su Xue from the police station back then.

In casual clothes, Officer Su looked just like the girl next door, so completely different from when she wore a police uniform.

"Little Jiang Ran is back from school?"

Jiang Ran curled his lips upon hearing this form of address: "I'm not little..."

"What?"

"Nothing!" Jiang Ran unlocked the door, turned around, and asked, "Officer Su, are you here to see me?"

"Of course." Su Xue smiled and stepped forward.

"Not welcome?"

"Come in..."

The house was very clean and tidy, the afterglow of the setting sun spilling in from the balcony, presenting a warm and harmonious scene.

Jiang Ran liked cleanliness, so naturally he kept his own home looking neat and fresh.

Su Xue looked around the room and sat down on the chair by the balcony, seeming somewhat surprised.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Hmm..." Su Xue thought about it seriously, "Juice, orange juice would be best. if you don't have that, coffee is fine too."

Half a minute later, a cup of pure, plain water appeared before her.

"You..."

Jiang Ran unceremoniously sat down on the other side, "Sorry, Officer Su, I only have plain water here."

To be frank, he did not want to deal with the police.

This Officer Su was obviously here with a mission.

Jiang Ran was not an ordinary high school student, so naturally he could not be naive enough to think that a pretty female police officer would inexplicably take a fancy to a poor kid.

"Officer Su, you came to see me today. do you still have questions to ask me?" He asked very bluntly.

If the case involving the demonic cultivator kidnapping people was still not over, it definitely could not be considered a good thing for him.

"Classmate Jiang Ran, you don't have to be so nervous!" Su Xue suddenly smiled, sensing Jiang Ran's mood.

As she spoke, she reached into her backpack, quickly pulling out gift box after gift box from the small bag.

The first box, Qi-Replenishing Powder; the second box, police-exclusive body-strengthening injections; the third box, three spirit stones...

Jiang Ran suddenly felt somewhat ashamed; he was a petty person, while Officer Su was truly a gentleman.

"Hey, Jiang Ran, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Su Xue looked at Jiang Ran, who had suddenly stood up, feeling a bit strange.

"Officer Su, wait here for me and don't go anywhere."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going downstairs to buy some oranges and squeeze fresh orange juice for you!"
