"That's not necessarily true. Have you calculated the scores for the other people?"
"There's practically no one else. Is anyone else with a good score? What's your total score?"
By this time, the scores had mostly been distributed, but the school hadn't had time to calculate them or make the rankings. The students started comparing themselves to each other, though usually they would compare themselves to those close to themselves. Comparing themselves to those who were too low seemed like bullying, and comparing themselves to those who were too high would only make them feel uncomfortable and destroy their confidence.
"It's not me, it's Liu Chu. He did well on the exam this time!" Liu Can pointed at Liu Chu.
"Him? How is he taller than me?" Zhang Lei scoffed, thinking there was no need to compare, completely unaware of the blow his words dealt to Liu Chu's young mind.
...
"Class, quiet down for a moment. Let me introduce you to our new students. Please introduce yourself!" The homeroom teacher, Ms. Wu, clapped her hands forcefully, quieting the noisy classroom slightly. Behind her followed a pretty little girl.
They called her a young girl because of her delicate, childlike face. Although she was dressed in very simple clothes, her two enormous breasts still looked like they were about to burst out of her clothes. Isn't that ridiculous? Can a high school student really develop like that? This world is crazy! Almost all the boys were gaping, their mouths practically drooling.
Zhang Lei's mouth was also wide open, not because he had also been seduced, but because he recognized this person. Wasn't this Tian Xiao? What was she doing here? Pretending to be a high school student, how could she have the nerve to do that!
"Hello everyone, my surname is Wen, and my name is Wen Tianxiao. You can just call me Tianxiao. There's nothing else to introduce me about. You'll get to know me as you spend more time with me!" As he spoke, Tianxiao kept his eyes on Zhang Lei. He was the only person he knew here, and he had come here specifically for Zhang Lei, so it was normal for him to be looking at him.
Just looking at Zhang Lei like that was enough to cause misunderstandings; almost every boy looked at Zhang Lei with a murderous glint in their eyes.
With Tianxiao's arrival, Wang Wei was no longer the class's number one beauty. As soon as get out of class ended, many boys crowded around her, chattering amongst themselves. They all wanted to get close to Tianxiao or leave a good impression. Little did they realize, however, that this wouldn't actually leave a good impression.
In contrast, the girls were less enthusiastic, even indifferent. Although they might not necessarily date in high school, they still felt like something of theirs had been taken away.
Tian Xiao's mature and voluptuous figure, coupled with her slender waist and youthful and beautiful face, is indeed a killer for all groups, from young boys to old men. Compared to her, Wang Wei is simply inferior and not even in the same league. No wonder these boys are drawn to her like nails attracted by a magnet.
Chen Zilai whispered in Kong Liang's ear, "Look at those tasteless boys, they're shameless, like dung beetles attracted to poop. But look at your Zhang Lei, sitting in his chair without moving!" Actually, who knows whether poop likes dung beetles or not?
"Damn it, saying such disgusting things, do you even consider yourself a girl anymore? It's disgusting!" Kong Liang raised her hand and slapped her.
Just then, Tianxiao pushed through the crowd and walked straight toward Zhang Lei. Two tall and strong boys were pushed aside by her, and they almost fell to the ground if they hadn't been holding onto the table.
Even if Tian Xiao didn't improve much, he had been practicing martial arts since childhood. Moreover, the training he received after joining the Guoyi Branch Bureau was not something that could be reduced by slacking off. Although these boys were not small, they were much weaker than his teammates who trained together in the Guoyi Branch Bureau. Tian Xiao didn't have to exert any effort to push them aside.
Zhang Lei didn't want to get involved with Tian Xiao here. Although he had only spent a short time with Tian Xiao last time, he had already gotten to know her a bit. She was the type of girl who didn't care about anything and was simple-minded, doing whatever came to mind. If he got involved with her, it would be troublesome.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!" Zhang Lei kept praying. Moreover, Zhang Lei had long regarded this girl as Liu Yun's woman. Didn't you see Liu Yun's arms wrapped around her chest? Liu Yun had left a very good impression on Zhang Lei. Having just come from Yudian, Zhang Lei was still very wary of his friend's wife.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lei usually doesn't burn incense very often, and none of the gods and Buddhas responded to his requests. Tian Xiao was clearly targeting him, and he didn't seem to need to go to the toilet at all.
"Hi, Zhang Lei!" Tianxiao didn't actually have much contact with outsiders. She struck a pose she'd learned from a movie and waved to Zhang Lei with what she thought was a cool gesture.
None of these students had ever killed anyone, and obviously not many had the opportunity to do what Zhang Lei had, yet Zhang Lei could still clearly sense the murderous intent.
Zhang Lei quickly lowered his head, pretending not to recognize Tian Xiao. Unfortunately, Tian Xiao's actions were clearly not subject to his will. Zhang Lei's ability was not the mental type and could not affect other people's actions.
Tianxiao hooked his arm around Zhang Lei's neck and placed his hand on his chest. Although this was a bit intimate, it was still considered normal. After all, Zhang Lei wasn't a woman and there was no such thing as not being able to touch his breasts.
The problem was that her other hand was pressed on Zhang Lei's lower abdomen, and it was inserted from inside his belt, directly against his skin. Zhang Lei knew that her hand was still a little distance from his baby boy, but others couldn't tell.
Aside from Zhang Lei and Tian Xiao, a total of thirty-three students in the class didn't leave. Sixteen and a half pairs of them collapsed at once. That's too arrogant! No wonder he's called Tian Xiao.
Zhang Lei couldn't even cry now. You said you didn't need to do this to test my internal energy. Liu Yun had done this before, but Liu Yun's skill was more profound, so he didn't need to put his hand in.
"Hmm? Your internal strength has increased so quickly, it's more than twice as much as last time. I need to report this. You might really become a top expert in our bureau soon. You'll have to take good care of me then, since I'm here to protect you now!" Tianxiao whispered in Zhang Lei's ear.
To outsiders, it looked like Tianxiao whispering in Zhang Lei's ear; if this wasn't ambiguous, there was no other explanation.
"Hey, Sister Tianxiao, what are you doing at school? You're not old enough for this!" Zhang Lei replied with a bitter face.
Zhang Lei didn't understand why she said his internal energy had more than doubled in such a short time. Zhang Lei was clear about his progress. Although his internal energy improved every day and he could absorb a little more each day, there wasn't that much progress.
Upon further reflection, he realized that it was because of the amount of internal energy stored in the body that day. When Liu Yun tested Zhang Lei last time, it was only the amount of internal energy newly absorbed in the body that day. Now, it was the total amount stored in the body that day plus the amount of internal energy newly absorbed in the body that day.
When others practice internal energy cultivation, they are increasing the amount of internal energy stored in their bodies. They continuously compress the internal energy to try to store more internal energy in their fixed meridians. Unless there are special circumstances, they try to keep their internal energy in a saturated state, because only in this way can they better expand their meridians and thus obtain a larger storage capacity.
Someone like Zhang Lei, who uses almost everything he has, is practically one of a kind. That's why they misjudged him. Last time, Liu Yun mistook Zhang Lei's half-day's worth of reserves for the result of Zhang Lei's many years of internal energy practice, and naturally said that Zhang Lei had no talent. This time, Tian Xiao found out that Zhang Lei's reserves for a day and a half, compared to the amount Liu Yun mentioned last time, was more than double.
"You don't need to worry about my age. Anyway, I'm old enough to go to university, and high school is no problem either!" Tian Xiao confirmed again, pulled her hand out of Zhang Lei's pants, and smelled it. "How long has it been since you showered? You smell salty and damp, hehe!"
Seeing the mischievous smile on Tianxiao's face, Zhang Lei's face turned red to his ears, and he whispered, "Big Sister Tianxiao, even if you want to check my progress, you don't have to do it in the classroom. At least find a less crowded place!"
“That’s right, I’ll take your opinion!” Tianxiao’s voice seemed to have gotten a little too loud. “Let’s find a quiet place later, or better yet, let’s just go to my house!” Then, perhaps feeling that his superpower needed to be kept secret, he lowered his voice again. “Let’s test your superpower index again to see exactly how high it is!”
If this statement isn't misunderstood, then the word "misunderstanding" doesn't exist in this world. Zhang Lei felt incredibly unlucky to have met such a woman. If there were something between them, it wouldn't be so bad, but Zhang Lei and she clearly had nothing going on.
Zhang Lei didn't forget to steal a glance at Kong Liang, and what he saw was flames everywhere. Well, the relationship that had just eased up had once again reached a freezing point. Those flames were clearly Netherfire, used to cool things down. Who knows, Kong Liang might have some kind of supernatural ability too.
At this point, Kong Liang's image of Zhang Lei worsened. Before, it might have been a misunderstanding, just Zhang Lei's tendency to talk nonsense and boast. But what was this? This Tian Xiao was clearly no decent person. Maybe those breasts were implants. Judging from her relationship with Zhang Lei, they probably had an affair before. She wondered if the mother of her child had come looking for her husband. She'd heard that some people from out of town get married very young; those big breasts were probably from being sucked by the baby…
When Kong Liang saw Zhang Lei turn around to look at her, she was even angrier. Of course, she might have thought that Zhang Lei was peeking at Chen Zilai. She already had such a beautiful girl in her bowl, yet he was still thinking about the one in the pot. Even if all men are bad, Zhang Lei is the worst!
Even if Zhang Lei was dissatisfied with Tian Xiao, what could he do? He had already guessed what kind of misunderstanding this would cause others. At this moment, although others still looked at him with jealousy and envy, they had clearly already regarded Tian Xiao as his girlfriend. Anyway, those who originally intended to continue pestering Tian Xiao had already awkwardly retreated to their seats.
If Zhang Lei's attitude towards Tian Xiao were even slightly unfriendly at this point, rumors of him starting something and then abandoning it would likely spread immediately. Zhang Lei's image would probably be even worse then than it is now.
Zhang Lei is from Northeast China, and Tian Xiao is from Beijing, but to Shanghainese, they are both outsiders. It's perfectly normal for these two outsiders to have some ambiguous relationship. Tian Xiao's purpose in coming to the school in the middle of the semester was, of course, Zhang Lei.
"Forget it, forget it!" Zhang Lei dejectedly followed Tian Xiao out of the school. "By the way, let's take a slightly longer route. Wait for me, I need to mail a letter!"
Tianxiao also lacked experience. No matter how powerful she was, she was still just a little girl. In fact, her experience was even less than Zhang Lei's. If it were Liu Yun, he would probably ask Zhang Lei if he had left his address on the letter, since he really shouldn't be giving his address to anyone right now.
"One thousand six hundred and ninety-three? My god, how did you train?" Tian Xiao's eyes widened, his long eyelashes trembling with resentment. It had only been a few days, and his ability index had increased by eight.
"Tell me, tell me, do you have some secret?" Tian Xiao pounced on Zhang Lei and grabbed his neck, shaking him back and forth. If it weren't for the extra muscles on Zhang Lei's neck, she probably would have strangled him to death.
Tianxiao's index is currently less than 600, but even at this low level, it has only increased by less than three points during this period.
