You call this a healer?

The fervor surrounding the battle for mangroves has not dissipated in just a few days; on the contrary, it has grown even stronger as more and more students and even teachers watch the "retrospective video."

Anything that breaks the established rules attracts a lot of attention.

"Healer" is one of the lowest levels of the hierarchy of professions among the Order Keepers; to put it bluntly, it's a useless profession.

Zhou Ming's battle was a true taboo-breaking achievement, dispelling others' prejudices against healers and leaving many people in awe.

Imagine a healer with incredibly high defense, completely unafraid of enemy attacks, hiding in the back like a sly fox, buffing and healing teammates from a distance. The teammates, full of energy, charge forward and wreak havoc. How exhilarating would that be?

People are not only interested in Zhou Ming's special amplification skill, but even more interested in him as a person.

Because in that battle, defense, healing power, amplification skills, and advancing to the second level in battle were all indispensable. Without any one of them, the battle would not have been won, but he managed to win all of them.

How did he cultivate? He was just a freshman who had only awakened his powers seventeen days ago!

Who among us didn't sacrifice everything for cultivation, accumulating a mountain of debt, resorting to selling blood, staged accidents, and even becoming a gigolo?

This is something even novelists wouldn't dare to write!

However, an even more explosive piece of news was leaked this morning—

Zhou Ming decides to challenge Ye Chen, the top genius among this year's freshmen, to a one-on-one duel!

A low-level healer with no personal combat ability fighting a top-tier, lightning-type "mage" with explosive combat power is like a helpless girl challenging ten hot-blooded men.

Is Zhou Ming's confidence a result of his complacency and arrogance following the "Battle of the Mangroves," or is he truly confident?

That's absolutely holy crap!

People couldn't take it anymore. We are usually very principled and would never be overly emotional about certain people or things, but you can't go too far.

Early in the morning, a group of 120 people, consisting of high school teachers, high school student representatives, freshmen, upperclassmen, and thirteen therapists, surrounded the dormitory door, strongly requesting an interview with Zhou Ming.

The scene was somewhat exaggerated at one point.

7: 50.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Ming and his three roommates emerged, dressed neatly with their hair styled and looking radiant.

More than a hundred people approached.

"Zhou Ming, here are some flowers for you!"

A petite girl pushed her way through the crowd, holding up a bouquet of lilies, her face etched with nervousness: "If you keep being my devoted admirer, like you were in high school, I'm willing to try dating you!"

Zhong Xiu is the girl who wrote the love letter about "having her vasectomy removed and getting pregnant with Zhou Ming's child." She is a weapon crafting professional.

Zhou Ming accepted the flowers: "Thank you for the flowers. Dating is out of the question; you're not good enough for me!"

Ignoring the girl's angry expression, he looked at the others.

A high school girl wearing glasses, holding a microphone, led the cameraman closer: "Hello, senior Zhou Ming, I am the host of the high school's 'School Weekly News.' Your video of the Battle of the Mangrove Forest has spread throughout the high school campus, and many teachers have decided to use your battle video as a textbook for teaching."

Please answer how you accomplished that battle, and how you cultivated your skills. To be honest, this doesn't make sense. You were born into poverty, an illegitimate child, with no resources, no money, and supposedly even worked for a living!

Zhou Ming, who had been all smiles at first, lost his smile as he listened. He snatched the microphone and asked, "Excuse me, junior, is your surname Lu?"

The girl paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Ah, my surname is Liu, I..."

Zhou Ming interrupted, "I don't believe it!"

girl:"?"

The scene became somewhat deserted for a moment.

Soon, a group of healers dressed in medicinal robes gathered around, looking very excited. One of the girls said, "Junior Brother Zhou Ming, as a fellow healer, your battle has completely made our profession famous. We are so excited. It turns out that we healers are not a useless profession, but have the potential to be ace support!"

This is of epoch-making significance for the healing profession. We sincerely invite you to join the healing community and grow together. Sooner or later, we will reshape the name of healing, stand at the top of the world, make any genius profession kneel before us, and have government departments scrambling for us. We will enter the inner city…”

"Wait a moment!"

Zhou Ming handed the microphone back to the dazed girl and said to the group of healers, "This is purely a matter of personal genius; it has nothing to do with profession!"

The female healer's face turned cold: "What do you mean by that? We're in the same profession; you can't do it and we can't. Your words are incredibly hurtful!"

Zhou Ming chuckled: "What I mean is, my awesomeness has nothing to do with my profession. I am me, and you are you. When I'm awesome, I can't carry you, and when you're bragging, don't include me!"

His high profile is limited to within the school. If he wants to continue being high-profile outside the school, isn't he crazy? Any big shot in the inner city could wipe out half the school.

The girl's face flushed red, and she was speechless.

Zhou Ming glanced at the diverse group of students and teachers, then cleared his throat: "The specific details of that battle involve my personal professional secrets. If you'd like to ask, you can, but there's a fee: ten thousand yuan!"

"Shameless!"

Many people cursed under their breath, but they still contributed ten dollars here and fifty dollars there, until they had collected ten thousand dollars and handed it over.

Zhou Ming took the money, a bright smile spreading across his face. In a deep, resonant voice, he said, "In this world, there are no useless professions, only useless people. I only sleep two hours a day. I dedicate all my energy to unlocking my potential, constantly exploring every possibility in cultivation. This is the main reason for the battle in the mangrove forest!"

Liang Bucheng, Ma Liang, and the other two looked completely bewildered. You sleep eight hours a day, yet you sleep more soundly than anyone else.

However, for the hundreds of people in front, it was deafening.

"There are no useless professions, only useless people!"

Many people have thought about this, but no one dares to say it out loud, because if it's a useless profession, then it really is useless!

A middle-aged teacher exclaimed, "This is incredible! From now on, I will take this sentence as my motto for teaching and nurturing students!"

Just then, someone suddenly pulled out ten thousand yuan and handed it over, asking, "I heard you challenged Ye Chen, the top lightning-type mage of this year, to a one-on-one duel. How dare you do that? What are your chances of winning?"

The surroundings fell silent instantly, as this was also what everyone was most concerned about.

Zhou Ming clutched the thick wad of bills, feeling quite pleased. Today's 2, plus the several thousand Liang Bucheng had given him recently, brought his net worth to 5. He said, enunciating each word clearly, "One hundred percent!"

After saying this, he cupped his hands in greeting, ignored the deathly quiet crowd, and led his three roommates straight to the classroom, as they had class today.

Not far away, under a large tree, Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, and seven or eight genius combat students stood together.

At this moment, everyone looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's face darkened, and his voice was icy: "One hundred percent? I wanted to test if I could break through his defense, but he's arrogant. I'm afraid he knows nothing about lightning-type mage talents. With his 40 points of defense, he's dreaming!"

……

Classroom of Class 8.

As Zhou Ming and his group of four entered, all eyes turned to them.

If everyone initially ignored Zhou Ming, then when he achieved mastery of his cultivation techniques and skills in a single day, they began to look at him with new respect.

Now, with the battle in the mangrove forest and his duel with the number one genius Ye Chen, people are looking at him with awe and wonder!

Class monitor Xu Kuishou and "Butterfly Festival" Liu Xinlan's gazes were particularly ardent, and they greeted him early on: "Good morning, Zhou Ming!"

Zhou Ming nodded and sat back down.

Teacher Qin Moyu rushed in, bringing with her a pleasant fragrance. She immediately stood in front of him, her eyes filled with a strange look: "How confident are you? I mean, won't be defeated by Ye Chen?"

Zhou Ming answered without hesitation: "The probability of me not being knocked down is 100%, the probability of him not being able to break through my defense is 50%, and the probability of me knocking him down is 90%!"

The classroom instantly fell completely silent!

Everyone's unspoken words can be summed up in two words: Awesome!
