Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Returning to School

After awakening his spiritual power, Lin Zhen checked the time, and it had only taken him nine hours.

Being able to awaken within ten hours can be described as genius, nine hours is really outstanding, especially considering that Lin Zhen is not yet seventeen years old, one could almost say that he has awakened quite early.

Ordinary martial artists will first take genetic potions to improve their physique, but the timing of awakening spiritual power varies. However, the earlier the awakening, the greater the future achievements.

For the next two days, Lin Zhen stayed at home, adapting to his spiritual power.

With the experience of his previous life, this process wasn’t difficult; two days later, Lin Zhen’s spiritual power had completely stabilized. As long as he diligently cultivated, his spiritual power would gradually increase.

The day of the graduation exam quickly arrived, and Lin Zhen left home and headed to school.

By the time he got to school, it was already bustling, with all sorts of luxury cars filling the campus.

Just as he arrived at the school entrance, someone appeared in front of Lin Zhen.

“Lin Zhen, you’re here.”

Lin Zhen looked up and saw a tall and strong young man over 1.9 meters tall standing in front of him, his face showing a simple smile.

Lin Zhen smiled; he and Meng Dong had been good friends during school. Meng Dong was a very good boy with excellent martial arts talent, having grown up with Lin Zhen and being his best friend at school.

Meng Dong was born with divine power. Lin Zhen knew that Meng Dong was chosen by Gale Martial Arts Hall in this graduation exam to become a student, and within less than two months, he became an official martial artist, making a name for himself in the Northern Region.

Lin Zhen only managed to enter Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall in this graduation exam due to Ouyang Yu’s meddling, which widened the gap between him and Meng Dong. The self-conscious Lin Zhen stopped contacting Meng Dong after that and the two drifted apart in the future.

Seeing his old friend, Lin Zhen was happy and patted Meng Dong’s shoulder, “Dongzi, you came so early today, it looks like you’re full of confidence.”

Meng Dong scratched his head, “Lin Zhen, don’t tell others about this, but I was so nervous yesterday that I didn’t sleep well all night. What if I fail to perform well and am not selected? My parents would be so disappointed, they are waiting for me to make money and buy them a big house.”

“Don’t worry unnecessarily, I’m sure you will be selected by Gale this time.”

Ouyang Yu approached An Ning and gently said, “An Ning, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Some people from Dragon-slaying Academy came over. Uncle Zhang has a good relationship with my dad, so I can introduce him to you. He’s quite famous in the martial arts circle of our Base City.”

An Ning frowned slightly: “Why do I need your dad’s friends to introduce people to me? We’re just ordinary classmates; there’s no need for that, right?”

“An Ning, don’t you really understand my feelings for you? Did you see the post I made the night before last? I wasn’t trying to show off, I just wanted to prove my feelings for you. For you, money means nothing to me.”

“How boring, whatever you want to do is your business, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I hate wasteful people, your behavior is simply childish!” An Ning showed no courtesy to Ouyang Yu.

Meng Dong and Lin Zhen stood to one side with smiles on their faces, looking delighted at Ouyang Yu’s misfortune, as if they deserved a beating.

Ouyang Yu was annoyed but couldn’t vent his anger on An Ning. He immediately directed his anger at Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, I remember warning you to stay away from An Ning. Did you just turn a deaf ear to my words?”

Lin Zhen’s face suddenly turned cold: “Ouyang Yu, you think too highly of yourself.”

Meng Dong also clenched his fists with a crackling sound: “Ouyang Yu, do you want to try a spar? People say you’re the number one in Class 3, but I never really believed it.”

Faced with Meng Dong and Lin Zhen, Ouyang Yu was somewhat intimidated at this moment. His fame was indeed greater than these two, but when it came to strength, he didn’t dare to say he could beat Meng Dong. As for Lin Zhen, although he was confident in winning, for some reason today, Lin Zhen’s eyes were particularly sharp, making him feel a bit uncomfortable looking directly into them. To add to it, the final exams were approaching, and he didn’t want to create any additional problems for himself.

“Fine! Lin Zhen, you’ve got guts! Remember what I said, you won’t have the qualifications to join a good martial arts school with your current results, and even if a small school accepts you, I have ways to make your life miserable.”

“Haha! You rely on your dad’s power to throw your weight around, and yet your face still has a slap mark on it. It’s really quite hilarious when you say things like that.”

Lin Zhen laughed, then turned to Meng Dong and said: “Meng Dong, what would you do if some careless brat sold something worth five million for just a hundred? If you were that kid’s dad, what would you do?”

Although Meng Dong was straightforward, he had great chemistry with Lin Zhen after spending years together. He immediately waved his hand: “I would definitely give him a big slap, I should’ve flushed him down the sewer back then!”

Lin Zhen couldn’t help but grin. Meng Dong was quite to his liking.

As expected, Ouyang Yu’s face turned livid. The slap mark on his face had indeed been given by his father, and he didn’t dare to tell anyone about the incident. He didn’t expect Lin Zhen to know about it already.

“Lin Zhen, you’ll pay for what you said today! We’ll see!”

Ouyang Yu couldn’t stay there any longer and turned to leave in embarrassment.

An Ning was somewhat worried but didn’t say anything. After all, her relationship with Lin Zhen was that of ordinary classmates. Although she knew Lin Zhen might have feelings for her, he hadn’t said anything, so as a girl, she couldn’t say anything either.
