After the student handling business left with a dejected look,

Liu Chang knocked on the door.

"Who is it?!"

The administrative teacher, who was packing up her shoulder bag, sounded thoroughly impatient.

But when she saw that it was Liu Chang, she immediately stood up.

"It's Student Liu Chang." Her tone changed in an instant.

Liu Chang said expressionlessly, "Teacher, are you getting off work already?"

She pointed at the clock hanging on the wall. It was not yet five thirty.

The administrative teacher hurriedly said, "No, no. What are you here to take care of?"

Liu Chang pointed at Yang Sheng behind her.

"Teacher Jiang Tian wants to transfer him from the regular class into our High-Aspiration Class."

The administrative teacher looked troubled.

"Student Liu Chang, transferring classes isn't a small matter. The procedures are quite complicated. How about waiting until tomorrow?"

Liu Chang showed no expression in response to the administrative teacher's words.

She took out her communicator, walked outside, called someone, and said a few brief words.

Less than two seconds later, the administrative teacher's communicator rang as well.

Seeing the caller ID, she glanced at Liu Chang in surprise.

Then she answered respectfully. The person on the other end seemed to be in a very bad mood.

The administrative teacher kept nodding in agreement.

More than two minutes later, she finally said, "Understood, Leader."

Then she let out a long breath and hung up the communicator.

Liu Chang put both hands in her pockets.

"Is it still troublesome now?"

The administrative teacher said, "Not troublesome, not troublesome at all."

As she spoke, she swiftly pulled up Yang Sheng's file from the archives, printed out a form, and handed it to Yang Sheng with both hands for his signature.

Once Yang Sheng had signed, she hurriedly stamped it.

The entire process flowed smoothly, and the transfer procedures were completed in just a few minutes.

Even after the two left the archives room, Yang Sheng still found it hard to believe.

Back then, it had taken him four or five days of running around just to replace a cafeteria meal card.

Yet a matter like transferring classes had been completed in mere minutes after one phone call from Liu Chang.

"This is the charm of power." Liu Chang smiled faintly.

"Power comes from strength. The stronger you are, the more easily you earn others' respect. Things that once seemed difficult to you will all be resolved with ease."

Yang Sheng asked, "How strong do I have to be to do what you can, Senior Sister?"

Liu Chang laughed. "At the very least, get into Martial Arts University first. Actually, Teacher Jiang cares a lot about the admission rate too."

She had meant it as a joke, but Yang Sheng actually stopped and told her seriously, "I will definitely get into Martial Arts University."

Liu Chang froze for a moment, then softly said, "What a blockhead."

With the transfer procedures finished, all that remained was to take Yang Sheng's personal belongings.

The two crossed the athletic field and entered the teaching building.

At this time every day, the school arranged for each class to study their foundational cultivation techniques on their own.

When Yang Sheng and Liu Chang arrived at the classroom entrance, the room was very quiet.

He looked toward his seat. It was empty, and his desk had already been moved to the back of the classroom.

Seven or eight desks were scattered around the back of the classroom.

Besides Yang Sheng, another seven or eight students in the class had been expelled.

"Senior Sister Liu Chang!"

Someone immediately recognized the vice class monitor of the High-Aspiration Class.

She had represented the school's teachers and students in speeches at school assemblies many times, and she was very popular.

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone in the classroom looked up, their attention drawn to Liu Chang's arrival.

It was truly unusual for the vice class monitor of the High-Aspiration Class to appear in a regular class.

"Who in our class could be worth Senior Sister Liu Chang coming for?"

"Who else could it be? It has to be Li Yan. He's been in the spotlight lately."

"One of only three eighteen-year-olds in the entire school to reach Dark Force. Looks like the High-Aspiration Class wants to poach Li Yan."

"I doubt Teacher Zhao will agree."

Li Yan, who had been sitting at his desk without once looking up, suddenly reached out and slammed his palm down on the desk.

"Quiet."

With those two words, the entire class instantly fell silent.

In this class, he was the unquestioned class monitor. Other than Zhao Huan, their homeroom teacher, no one dared go against his wishes.

Li Yan stood and walked up to Liu Chang, greeting her politely.

"Hello, Liu Chang."

At that moment, he caught sight of someone who should not have been here from the corner of his eye.

Yang Sheng.

The students seated near the front also noticed Yang Sheng.

"Huh? Isn't that Yang Sheng? He was expelled from school two days ago. Why is he back now?"

"Look closely. He came with Senior Sister Liu Chang."

"This guy really knows how to suck up. He actually latched onto the thigh of the High-Aspiration Class's vice class monitor."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

Li Yan's gaze lingered on Yang Sheng for only half a second.

To him, Yang Sheng was an insignificant nobody who could be discarded or kept at will.

When he had no value to exploit, he could simply be kicked aside.

Whether or not Yang Sheng had truly found someone powerful to rely on, he was still a lowborn wretch who could be thrown away at any time.

What truly surprised him was that someone from the High-Aspiration Class had come.

When he first entered high school, he had also hoped to join the High-Aspiration Class. Yet Jiang Tian had merely glanced at him before passing him over.

Jiang Tian's disregard had planted a ball of rage in Li Yan's heart.

With his aptitude, he could have entered the Rocket Class, second only to the High-Aspiration Class.

But Li Yan had directly given it up and joined the regular class taught by Zhao Huan.

That was because Zhao Huan had promised to devote all resources to him.

In the end, Li Yan lived up to expectations. He successfully achieved Great Completion of Bright Force and became one of the school's few Dark Force martial artists.

Could the High-Aspiration Class be trying to poach someone in the final month? Li Yan thought.

"May I ask why Class Monitor Liu has come to our class today?"

"I was entrusted by Teacher Jiang today to handle the transfer procedures for someone. I've come to collect their things."

Li Yan's heart jolted.

He had heard that the High-Aspiration Class had an extremely domineering way of doing things.

But he had not expected them to be this domineering.

They had actually completed his transfer procedures in advance.

But if that happened, how was he supposed to explain it to Zhao Huan?

Unless Jiang Tian promised him the school's only guaranteed admission slot, he would never agree to join the High-Aspiration Class.

"Class Monitor Liu, aren't you being a little too overbearing?!"

Liu Chang froze.

Didn't you people abandon Yang Sheng yourselves?

Why were they refusing now that she was transferring him out?

"Class Monitor Li, let me reiterate: the procedures have already been completed. We only came to collect his things."

Li Yan snorted. "Teacher Jiang hasn't contacted me directly, yet you want to take me away. Shouldn't you at least ask for my opinion? If you don't give me the only guaranteed admission slot, I won't agree to go to the High-Aspiration Class."

Only then did Liu Chang understand.

Li Yan thought he was the one being transferred.

"Class Monitor Li, it seems you've truly misunderstood. I didn't come to take you away today. I came to take him."

Liu Chang stepped aside, revealing Yang Sheng.

Li Yan froze. "Yang Sheng?"

Liu Chang said, "Teacher Jiang decided today to transfer Yang Sheng into the High-Aspiration Class for study."

Those few short words made Li Yan's pupils contract slightly.

His eyes were filled with stunned disbelief!
