Ch. 89 - I'll Use Drugs To Overpower You All!

"Does the governor hope I win so we can trend on social media again?"

Shen Congwu laughed and actually nodded.

"That's exactly it. Your Taotie's draw with the Thunder Flood Dragon last time made our Nanchuan Province famous, and your recent killing of the Seventh Rank Ninth Protector of the Beast King Cult also trended.

So the governor hopes you'll work harder to defeat the Thunder Flood Dragon and keep the trending topics going!"

If the battle between the Taotie and the Thunder Flood Dragon made Ling Qingxue's name known in many high schools and martial arts universities, then her defeat of the Seventh Rank Ninth Protector of the Beast King Cult when she was only at the Third Rank was enough to make her famous throughout the entire continent.

This was beyond a simple feat.

Shen Congwu smiled and continued.

"Because you went beyond your limits in setting up the spirit formation, killed the Seventh Rank martial artist Chen Xiao, and saved Lingtian Middle School, the governor has specially designated you as one of the ten most influential figures in Nanchuan Province this year. These resources are given to you in recognition of this honor. In a couple of days, you'll even receive a medal and have media interviews."

Ling Qingxue chuckled dryly and accepted the spiritual medicine box.

Hong Lie was trying to turn her into a celebrity martial artist, thereby boosting Nanchuan Province's fame and completely shedding its reputation as a "Talent Pit."

With Ling Qingxue in Nanchuan Province, who would dare say there weren't any geniuses here?

Sensing her concern, Shen Congwu continued to explain.

"Rest assured, it won't take up too much of your time. During the media interview a few days later, they will only have three questions to ask, and then the governor will dismiss them. Your training won't be affected!"

Ling Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Principal. I'm going to cultivate now."

Shen Congwu nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

This is simply the perfect student! Exceptional talent, superior combat strength and intelligence, and damn hardworking—she leaves no room for anyone else!

Students like this were every teacher's dream.

So easy to manage; before you know it, she's won some major awards.

He never imagined he could teach such a student.

The students of Lingtian Middle School looked at Ling Qingxue's retreating figure, their eyes filled with admiration.

"From today onwards, she's my idol! I'm going to train for two extra hours every day!"

"Tch, training my ass! I'm going to learn from my master Liang—eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Being a hardcore player is useless!"

Xu An kicked him away.

"You dare tell me what you did last night?!"

A guilty look appeared on Chen Feng's face. "Sleep, what else? Would I go and steal something?"

Sneering, Xu An took out his phone and opened a video.

"I had insomnia last night, so I went for a walk. And here you were, you little brat, still practicing martial arts under the streetlights at dawn, not returning to your dorm until 4 AM. And then you got up at 7 AM to train your spiritual power! You little bastard, you dare to cheat us!"

"You, your video is so blurry, it's obviously not me. Although it looks a bit like me, maybe it's my brother Chen Shan."

"Damn it, where did you get a brother? You're tricking us!"

Chen Feng laughed angrily. "Fine, I admit it. I'm a hardcore player, isn't that normal? And don't think I don't know you, Xu An, are secretly tricking us too!"

He pulled out the data on Xu An's daily vital energy activity.

"You rascal, you go to the toilet eight hundred times a day, saying you have kidney deficiency and can't empty your bladder completely, but why is your vital energy so active when you're in the toilet? Dare you say you're not practicing some kind of martial arts to refine your energy?"

Xu An looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Where the hell did you steal this data from? It's none of your business if I have kidney deficiency!"

Chen Feng sneered, then directly retrieved the vital energy and spiritual activity data of everyone in the Kunpeng Class.

"I'm not very talented, but in my cultivation breaks, I taught myself some programming skills and installed a little software on your phones. Whenever you carry your phones, I collect all your data so I can learn your cultivation rhythm and adjust my own cultivation plan accordingly."

"Which one of you brats isn't grinding like crazy? And you have the nerve to call me a hardcore player?"

"Zhao Xiaoyun, every time you say you're going on a date with your boyfriend, you're actually hiding in a hotel cultivating your spiritual power. And the hotel booking records only show you!"

"Xue Gui, every time you say you don't have time for team building because you have to do part-time work, you're actually hiding in the dorm cultivating. I don't go to team building either, just to catch you!"

"And Liu Xiaochuan, you're the worst! Every time you have a vital energy value test, you take drugs—damn, drugs that temporarily lower your stats, as if you're afraid we'll find out you've broken through again, right? You're a real bastard!"

"..."

Chen Feng's tirade made everyone's faces darken.

So they weren't the only ones doing this!

"Everyone's cheating, no wonder there's no clear winner."

"Sure enough, only the truly cunning sit at the same table..."

Suddenly, someone looked at Qin Hongyan.

"Brother Yan, you were originally our school's number one genius. You didn't lie to us, did you?"

Qin Hongyan scoffed. "What a joke, why would I need to lie to you? My family is so rich, even if I don't become a powerful martial artist, I'll still have more money than I can spend!"

"That's good..."

Zhou Weiwei walked over with a smile.

"Hey, cousin, the medicine you gave me is amazing! After taking it, I don't need to sleep all night, and I'm still full of energy the next day. I cultivated my spiritual energy all night yesterday, and I'm not sleepy at all during the day!"

Qin Hongyan's eyes widened. "Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret?!"

Everyone immediately surrounded him.

"So is this what you mean by not lying to us?"

"Heh, you're rich, and you still cheat us? Don't you have any shame?"

"Brother Yan, you're a big bastard too!"

Qin Hongyan exhaled, and the aura of a Third Rank martial artist surged from his body.

"I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but since I've been discovered, I'm not pretending anymore. I cultivate three nights a week on average, and last night, I successfully broke through to the Third Rank. I'm going to increase my cultivation time before the martial arts exam. I'm going to overpower you guys with drugs!"

"Damn it, kill him! I can't take it anymore!" Chen Feng roared.

He was a hardcore player, but in the end, someone was even more hardcore than him!

Rich kids are also hardcore, it's inhuman!

......

Two days passed in a flash.

To recover as quickly as possible, Wu Liang consumed all the spiritual medicine sent by Hong Lie.

His level broke through to the Third Rank mid-stage, and his evolution points exceeded ten thousand.

The day of the award ceremony has come. A group of reporters surrounded the gate of Lingtian Middle School, each vying to be the first to photograph the Taotie.

This month's front-page headline was already known.

"What the hell are you all rushing for? The gates aren't even open yet, and you're all scrambling to get in!" a rookie reporter grumbled.

"If you can't get a front-row seat, what kind of reporter are you? You won't even get a chance to ask a question!"

"Eight years as a top-tier reporter taught me this: If you can't grab a front-row seat, you won't get a chance to ask questions—and you'll end up eating stale leftovers."
