Chapter 90: Chapter 88: Silent Contribution_1
Fang Ren walked towards the campus, still unsure of where the academic buildings of his school were located, but that wasn't what occupied his mind at the moment.
All he could think about was the issue with his own strength. He was supposed to be just a weak chicken at the Peak of Intense Concentration, yet he could fight on par with a practitioner at the Yuanxin Realm Peak like Su Sen. This had already reached the limits of what cultivators could achieve in terms of challenging beyond their level.
The current record was held by the Xuan Nv, Mu Huiqing.
But this noon, he had actually defeated a man in black at the mid-stage of the Ruoshui Realm, which completely shocked him. His challenge beyond his level had surpassed the record set by Mu Huiqing back then...
Fang Ren kept his head down, furrowing his brows slightly, looking like he was deep in thought.
After a long while, he suddenly looked up seriously and spoke to the small Qianye in his hand, "Qianye, do you think... I might actually be destined to be a legendary figure?"
"Heh heh heh heh heh..."
Little Qianye bounced out of his palm, standing with hands on hips and an arrogant expression, babbling nonstop in 'heh heh heh' till at last, it pointed at Fang Ren with one of its round arms, nodding seriously as if to say, You've got that right.
"Crap..." Fang Ren slapped his forehead, his face full of confusion as he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Why do I feel like this silly tree is tooting its own horn?"
Mumbling to himself, Fang Ren passed by a particularly noisy classroom and turned to look, finding it filled with uniforms he recognized. On closer inspection, they were all familiar faces.
It turned out to be the third class of his Medical System.
He wasn't sure what exactly they were fussing about inside, but Fang Ren was curious and waked directly over. As he reached the classroom door, he could already hear the content of the conversation inside.
"Class rep! What the hell happened to your arm? Was it those jerks from Baili who did this? Let's just waste them all as a class!"
"Exactly! Damn it, I'm not attending this university anymore! It's only the first day of school and Ranzi has been expelled while the class rep is injured!"
"Class rep! What exactly happened? Tell us the process, why did Baili suddenly withdraw Ranzi's punishment?"
Liu Qianqian said with a smile on her face, "Everybody, don't get agitated, just listen to me."
"Let the class rep speak!" Li Xingwang shouted.
"Yeah, let the class rep speak first! What's the name of that guy? We are going to mess him up! Damn it, his whole family shouldn't even think about using my Jing's condoms for the rest of their lives!" Jing Haichuan also chimed in.
Liu Qianqian continued with a smile, "The wound on my arm wasn't caused by someone else, actually, I fell on my way back to school during lunchtime."
"What about that little Ranzi's punishment?" a crowd asked.
"It's been revoked," Liu Qianqian said.
"Huh? Be more specific, class rep!"
Liu Qianqian continued, "Actually, the process was very simple. The Director of Education was going to enforce a punishment, but somehow the principal of our school heard that Fang Ren was the boyfriend of the Xuan Nv and then decided to fire that Director of Education, so Fang Ren's punishment was also withdrawn."
Throughout her speech, she didn't mention at all that she had used her family's influence to help Fang Ren.
"Wow! There's such a thing? The principal of Baili University has good judgment! Knows how to handle things!"
"That's right, who dares to expel the boyfriend of Xuan Nv? Does he want to close down his school or what?"
"Ranzi is damn lucky too! Casually hooks up with a chick and she's the Xuan Nv! Damn, I gotta go learn from him!"
...
Fang Ren, standing at the door, was dumbfounded. He had just arrived at the school and was planning to go to the Office of Academic Affairs, yet the opponents' principal had already arranged everything beforehand?
"Hey! It's Ranzi!"
Suddenly, a student in the classroom pointed at the doorway and shouted.
Immediately, the entire class turned their attention toward the door, and the classroom became noisy again.
"Damn! You've finally come back, you rascal!" Li Xingwang rushed over and stopped him in his tracks.
"Heard you can cultivate now! You even beat the third-ranking practitioner in the entire province, didn't you?" Jing Haichuan yelled.
"That's my man, Brother Ran!"
"Damn! When I heard about it, I didn't believe it at all, but I couldn't deny it when Wang Erma from next door slapped that video in my face!"
"Well done! Damn it, when I saw that video, my blood was boiling! Especially when three guys from our Cultivation System stood up to help Ranzi, I felt for the first time that they were real men."
"Yeah, even us girls have seen it. Never thought Fang Trash could actually be so powerful!"
"Hey hey hey, stop the nonsense for now, Ranzi is still injured!"
"Right right right, how's the injury on Ranzi? Let's check it out quickly!"
...
The classroom was abuzz. Before Fang Ren could speak, Jing Haichuan and Li Xingwang yanked his shirt off forcefully.
"Huh? No injury? When did you get such a good physique?"
"That's not right, in the video, there was definitely a big gash across Ranzi's chest!"
"Where have you been? Ranzi, you didn't go to the hospital and get yourself a fake skin, did you?"
...
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! Don't touch!"
As soon as Fang Ren saw a group of big guys reaching out to grope his chest, every pore on his body stood on end, and he immediately snatched up his clothes to put them on.
"You guys think any hospital has fake skin this good?" Fang Ren asked, frowning deeply as he looked at the mass of big guys in front of him, feeling a chill run through his pores.
"So what really happened? That sword hit looked real to me!" Li Xingwang said.
"I don't know, I just got to the hospital and then I was fine," Fang Ren lied, putting on a baffled face as if he couldn't understand it himself. After all, telling the truth would make no difference; these guys wouldn't believe him, and it was easier to just brush them off.
"That's really miraculous. Only with the strongest recovery ability of a Fourth-order blood-recovery shaping elixir could you have healed so quickly."
"Stop asking, have you guys forgotten who Ranzi's girlfriend is? Is it any wonder he has a Fourth-order elixir?" Jing Haichuan chimed in.
"When we heard you were injured, we all wanted to visit you, but those jerks from the Baili Student Union blocked us. They said if one person from our class went, the whole class would be punished. It was infuriating. Now that your punishment has been revoked by the principal, I wanna see how those jerks swagger around!"
"Damn! I really want to see the looks on those jerks' faces!"
...
The chaos dwindled and soon, Teacher Huang, the original instructor, entered the classroom.
As soon as Teacher Huang entered the class, he began to reminisce about the school's past events and the rules of Baili University. As he spoke, he began to mention Fang Ren, adopting a half-critical stance toward the morning's events, although most of what he said seemed more like praise for Fang Ren.
As a teacher, he had a responsibility to criticize a student who fought, but praising a student for fighting was what a teacher from Yangming University was supposed to say.
The class ended quickly, and a bunch of guys gathered around again, messing with him until Fang Ren made up an excuse and got away.
Just after leaving his seat, he saw Liu Qianqian's arm wrapped in bandages. He then got up and walked over, tapping his fingers on the desk in front of her.
At that moment, Liu Qianqian was intently reading "Experience of Master Qing'an," knowing full well that Mu Huanqing could no longer be with Fang Ren. She had to break free from her family constraints quickly and then confess her feelings to Fang Ren openly and honestly.
If she could master the technique to refine a Three-level pill, she would definitely win the global Alchemist competition for college students. No one could stop her from being with the one she loved then.
Ding, ding, ding—
Suddenly, someone knocked on her desk. Distracted and a bit annoyed, she looked up, but when she saw Fang Ren, the displeasure on her face blossomed into joy.
"What is it?" Liu Qianqian asked.
"Come with me," Fang Ren said.
Liu Qianqian immediately stood up and asked, "Where are we going?"
"The restroom."
Fang Ren answered offhandedly, then turned and walked out of the classroom.
Liu Qianqian immediately ran to follow behind him, while Li Xingwang and Jing Haichuan naturally started to stir up the other classmates.
"Damn! No sooner does Xuan Nv leave than Ranzi is on to taking a second!"
"Whoa—"
"Score a second, Ranzi, and Jing's condoms will still have you covered!"
...
Of course, the teasing was all in good fun, as no one took it seriously. After all, the affair between Fang Ren and the class president was just a routine over the past three years to them. They wouldn't be together, but they kept ending up close to each other.
After leaving the class, Fang Ren began to take out a small iron box from his pocket.
"Got something for you," he said.
"What's that?" Liu Qianqian was puzzled.
As he spoke, Fang Ren placed a golden pill from the box in Liu Qianqian's hand and said, "This is a blood-returning flesh-forming pill Qing'er gave me. Eat this and your arm will heal quickly."
Liu Qianqian stared blankly at the gold pill in her hand and then at Fang Ren, her face still showing happiness but her heart feeling a bitter twinge.
"It's from her…" she said, smiling.
A love rival could casually give him a Fourth-order elixir, but she had nothing to offer him, not even the ability to respond to his confession. The shackles of her family still weighed on her heavily.
"Yeah, you better eat it quick. It's so shiny, someone else might spot it," Fang Ren urged.
"I... I don't want to eat it," Liu Qianqian said.
"Why not?" Fang Ren was taken aback.
"It's nothing, I just don't want to," Liu Qianqian insisted, pushing the pill back toward Fang Ren.
