Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him

Chapter 7 Three's Company

Before Zhao Rui could react, the girl in the front row, Little Sweetie, had already turned her head and glared angrily at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan sighed, reached out and grabbed Xiaoxue's ponytail in the front row, and tugged hard.

He yelled, "Why didn't you prepare a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) for me?!"

"You're going to die! Yang Fan, aren't you annoying me?!"

Dressed in a well-fitting school uniform, the girl, radiating youthful energy, suddenly turned around and slapped Yang Fan with her palm.

"Ouch, you really hit me! Women really are heartless!"

Yang Fan has such a foul mouth that you just want to slap him across the face.

Zhao Rui watched Yang Fan act cheekily with a smile, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Even without the system, simply returning to one's youth is already the happiest thing in the world.

Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and youth never returns!

If you don't live life to the fullest when you're young, are you going to wait until you're old and regret your life?

Zhao Rui experienced a different state of mind, feeling a slight swelling in his dantian, and his true qi was noticeably more abundant.

"Quiet down, everyone, class is starting!"

After a short while of this commotion, the math teacher walked up to the podium from the doorway, carrying his textbooks.

"Today we will continue to review the problem of calculating the curvature of an ellipse. This type of shape is a must-test topic in the college entrance examination, so everyone listen carefully and take notes."

The noise gradually subsided, but it was still somewhat chaotic, far less quiet than yesterday's history class.

After all, the math teacher was a man, and there was no expert to protect the girl throughout the whole process.

Zhao Rui focused his inner energy on his ears, listened attentively to the teacher's explanation, and took careful notes.

When you've learned enough knowledge, it will all belong to you.

What's more, there's the college entrance exam.

Yang Fan knew that Zhao Rui was a diligent student. After making a fuss for a while, he and Xiao Xue called it a day and went back to reading e-books.

For those who want to learn, a morning passes in the blink of an eye.

For students who don't want to study, it's like an eternity.

Especially in the lead-up to the college entrance examination, some students who know they will not pass and have already given up are not focused on studying at all.

This is also one of the reasons for the chaotic classroom discipline.

No. 1 Middle School was originally a good school, but unfortunately, a violent incident occurred a few years ago, resulting in many injuries and deaths.

This caused the reputation of No. 1 High School to plummet, and it has never been able to return to the ranks of top high schools since.

"Zhao Rui, wait for me!"

During their lunch break, Zhao Rui and Yang Fan were walking side by side toward the cafeteria when they heard girls calling out from behind.

"It's you again, damn it!"

Yang Fan rolled his eyes and said dejectedly.

Zhao Rui turned around and saw Bai Xuening walking quickly towards him.

"Zhao Rui, you promised us the practical class this afternoon!"

Bai Xuening tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a faint fragrance wafting in the sunlight, refreshing and delightful.

"Um, wasn't it supposed to be tonight?"

Zhao Rui was taken aback.

"Isn't hands-on training an option?"

Bai Xuening asked.

"I want to practice with Cui Jian in the practical class; the exam is coming up soon."

Zhao Rui told the truth.

"Oh, okay then, I'll wait for you after class!"

"Um!"

Zhao Rui nodded in agreement.

After Bai Xuening finished speaking, she didn't linger and quickly left Zhao Rui and the other person.

"Tonight? Hehe, tell the truth!"

Yang Fan smiled at Zhao Rui in a sarcastic tone.

"What are you thinking? She asked me to be her sparring partner."

"A sparring partner? The kind you do in bed?"

"Do you think Bai Xuening can't hear you at this distance?"

As Zhao Rui spoke, he looked up and ahead.

Yang Fan was startled and ran towards the teaching building without even looking back. His speed was so fast that he had clearly used martial arts.

Bai Xuening stopped chasing Zhao Rui, her pretty face flushed, and said with an icy expression, "I'm going to beat him up today!"

Yang Fan's words were indeed a bit excessive, and Zhao Rui was too lazy to stop him. Who told him to speak so recklessly? He deserved to be punished.

After Bai Xuening finished speaking, still furious, she used her light-footed skills to chase after him towards the teaching building.

The two of them ran at breakneck speed in public, as graceful and swift as in a martial arts movie, leaving the ordinary students passing by in awe.

"A martial arts student! I'm so envious!"

"Exactly, it's a pity we don't have the talent."

"I've heard there's a gene therapy that can give ordinary people the talent to learn martial arts."

"That would be incredibly expensive! We'd rather hope some old man gives us a top-tier martial arts manual!"

"Ugh!"

……

In the cafeteria, Zhao Rui had just finished getting his food and was eating for a short while when he saw Yang Fan limping over with a plate.

"That woman is ruthless!"

As Yang Fan spoke, he looked around, afraid that Bai Xuening would reappear.

"What are your plans for the future? Are you really not going to study anymore?"

Zhao Rui changed the subject and asked casually.

"Why study? My dad found me a private university. You can get in as long as you pay. I'll just get a diploma, and then I'll take over the family business after graduation! Hehe!"

Yang Fan said nonchalantly that his family was in business and had some wealth.

He had average talent and no interest in martial arts; he only wanted to get a diploma and live the life of a spoiled rich kid.

I don't seek great wealth and high status, but only a modest and peaceful life.

I'm very relaxed.

Seeing how carefree he was, Zhao Rui was genuinely envious.

Some things are what we are born with, and those are the things that bring us the most happiness.

Without the system, even if he awakened his pre-worldly wisdom, he would probably still be just an ordinary martial artist in this unfamiliar world.

At best, one can pass the civil service exam and live a comfortable, well-off life.

"You'd better study hard!"

Yang Fan spoke seriously, a rare occurrence for him.

"Wow, it's rare to see someone so caring!"

Zhao Rui smiled.

"You'll be able to work for me after you graduate!"

"..."

How can a dog possibly change its habit of eating feces?

There is no such thing as a beating for nothing in this world.

After finishing his meal, Zhao Rui went straight to the training room, which had a meditation room where people could not only meditate and practice martial arts, but also rest.

At 1:30 p.m., Zhao Rui pushed open the door of the meditation room and came to the practice room. Seven or eight classmates came out with him.

With the college entrance examination approaching, students aspiring to attend university are all working incredibly hard.

The afternoon session was the same as usual, with live-fire drills.

Zhao Rui and Cui Jian applied for one-on-one practice sessions.

As the exam approached, the teachers didn't press them too much and went along with their wishes.

Bai Xuening wanted to interfere, but Zhao Rui was too busy with the panel's functions to notice the little girl's aggrieved expression.

After practicing like this for an afternoon, the progress of the Taihang Thirteen Palms on the system panel reached thirty percent.

Even so, Zhao Rui felt it was still too slow.

I discussed it with Cui Jian, and we decided to find a place to continue practicing that night, so we wouldn't have to worry about the exam syllabus.

Cui Jian is a martial arts fanatic, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

When get out of class ended, the two picked up their backpacks and walked quickly outside.

Bai Xuening waited ahead of Zhao Rui on the road, her beautiful eyes fixed on him without saying a word.

Looking at the snow-white-clad girl, Zhao Rui said helplessly, "One yuan, one yuan. Three's a group, and I'm bound to be one of them!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuening smiled brightly and readily moved closer.
