34. Yan Meng’er Cried
The battle was over.
In just a single exchange, Yan Zhen swiftly pinned Wang Dong to the ground, knocking him unconscious.
Even faster than defeating Liu Xing.
Firstly, Wang Dong only had a cultivation level of six-star Mystic Disciple, weaker than Liu Xing. Secondly, Yan Zhen had become stronger.
The audience, including the combat instructor, didn’t even have time to react.
He could naturally see that without using trump cards, Yan Zhen clearly had a higher chance of winning. But to describe the actual battle using the word “chance” would be a joke.
What chance? This was pure domination!
Wang Dong and the others had already prepared some cheating methods and routines to turn the tables, but in the face of such an absolute difference in strength, they all became a laughing stock.
Could Yan Zhen be a Mystic Scholar? He was ridiculously strong!
He was clearly a five-star Mystic Disciple, while Wang Dong was six-star!
“Little brother Yan Zhen is so awesome!” Amidst the silence, Mi Xue’er screamed, her eyes full of love.
She remembered this heart-pounding feeling.
In her previous life, although she liked Yan Zhen, she initially only treated him as a younger puppy, licking his face.
Until the usually gentle and low-key Yan Zhen displayed his sharpness for the first time.
The boy who always responded to her teasing with a shy smile, the little brother who was used as a bag-carrying machine by them when shopping, when facing a powerful opponent that even she dared not confront on the arena, he forcefully pinned the opponent to the ground with just a single move, domineering and cold, shocking the entire audience!
Mi Xue’er also fell for him.
Even though she had been reborn and experienced higher-level battles and witnessed more terrifying scenes, at this moment, her heart was still pounding.
Yan Ruyu’s heart was also fluttering, her eyes hiding traces of affection as she looked at Yan Zhen on the stage.
Yan Zhen’s gaze shifted, falling on the other two six-star Mystic Disciples, Ya She and Ding Yu, below the stage. He said indifferently, “Do you want to fight? If you do, you can come up together.”
Ya She and Ding Yu looked at each other, both feeling humiliated and furious. They turned to the combat instructor.
“Instructor, this person is so arrogantly provoking us. It doesn’t violate the rules for the two of us to go on stage and fight him, right?”
“Please agree, Instructor!”
The combat instructor hesitated slightly but still nodded. This kind of thing wasn’t the first time. Why not watch if there was fun to be had?
With the instructor’s permission, Ya She and Ding Yu went on stage together. Without saying a word, they attacked Yan Zhen with full force from the start.
Yan Ruyu’s heart was in her throat again, but Mi Xue’er was even more excited.
Then, under everyone’s close observation, in less than ten rounds, Ya She and Ding Yu simultaneously fell off the stage, unable to get up again.
The entire class exclaimed in surprise. Looking at Yan Zhen slowly retracting his Blaze Mystic Power on the stage, they felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their heads.
“He won again. Little brother Yan Zhen is so handsome. I love you to death~” Mi Xue’er excitedly confessed, not caring if others took it seriously. Anyway, she was sincere.
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu glared at her best friend but felt quite envious that she could say such words out loud.
Yan Zhen was also puzzled by Mi Xue’er’s braindead fan-like declaration. In the script, although she was also very excited, she didn’t behave this exaggeratedly.
Mi Xue’er usually appeared to be straightforward, but she was actually very tactful and had a good grasp of the distance between friends and classmates. Shouting “I love you to death” in public made many classmates look at her sideways and also broke the hearts of some male students.
Yan Zhen returned from the stage and looked at Mi Xue’er, who was even more excited than him. He smiled awkwardly but politely.
“When did you become so powerful?” Yan Ruyu said in a tsundere manner, “Making people worry for nothing.”
Yan Zhen brushed his bangs. “I’ve always been very powerful. Didn’t you witness it during the New Year, Cousin Ruyu?”
Mentioning the sore spot! Thinking of how she was spanked by him during the New Year until she cried on the spot, Yan Ruyu felt both embarrassed and angry, really wanting to beat him up to vent.
But she couldn’t beat him now. If she made a move, she would very likely be pinned to the ground and spanked by him again, which would be even more embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu’s anger inexplicably diminished a bit, and she even felt a little eager to try.
She snorted and turned her head away.
Mi Xue’er asked curiously, “Did something happen between you two during the New Year?”
Yan Zhen shrugged. “We just had a friendly spar, right, Cousin?”
Yan Ruyu ignored him.
After the combat class ended, Yan Zhen went to the junior class to find Yan Meng’er, but she had actually left on her own.
Oh well.
Anyway, Yan Zhen was going to the streets to buy medicinal ingredients, so he couldn’t accompany her back.
Medicinal ingredients related to the divine soul were indeed very rare. Not to mention expensive, the key was that there was no stock!
Such medicinal ingredients were generally only used by Master Alchemists and were basically controlled by the Master Alchemist Association, which was in the royal capital. It was very difficult to find them in other places.
After a trip, the medicinal ingredients were still not complete. He could only ask the Gold Jade Chamber of Commerce to keep an eye out for him.
The person in charge of the chamber of commerce was a middle-aged man who said that if any new medicinal ingredients arrived, he would notify him immediately.
Of course, it would still be free. Whatever they had, they would give.
Yan Zhen was quite uneasy about this because he believed there was no free lunch in the world.
But the other party refused to charge him no matter what. When he mentioned paying, it was as if he was asking for someone’s life. Seeing him insist on paying, the man even knelt down in public and said, “Young Master Yan Zhen, this little one really can’t accept the money. Please spare me. I have elderly parents and young children to support!”
He went on and on.
Shocking the passersby for a whole year, Yan Zhen was also at a loss.
Helpless, Yan Zhen could only accept the goodwill of the Gold Jade Chamber of Commerce, but he couldn’t figure out why.
The only thing he could think of was that “good sister” who hadn’t met him yet. She had also gotten the script like him and knew that he would rise in the future, so she invested in advance.
But the system said she didn’t have the script. When he asked it what was going on, it said it didn’t know.
What a defective system.
[Ding! Please don’t secretly curse the system in your heart, Host. It ruins the friendly relationship between us.]
— Then don’t peep into my thoughts, you perverted system!
[The Host is very smart.]
— What did you say?!
[Very smart.]
— Shut up, stupid code. Even the “Hello, World!” program I wrote when I first entered university runs better than you!
A person and a system started arguing.
Yan Zhen returned to the mansion, grumbling all the way, and only adjusted his mood before heading straight to the dining room.
Only the three girls were eating at the table, with Yan Meng’er nowhere to be seen.
And they were eating takeout.
Yan Zhen thought Yan Meng’er had returned home early to cook. He asked in confusion, “Where’s Meng’er?”
Instructor Yu Xuan replied, “She’s in her room and refuses to come out.”
Yan Zhen was even more puzzled. “What’s wrong with her?”
“I don’t know. Sister Meng’er seems to have cried.” Mi Xue’er said worriedly, “Her eyes are swollen.”
Yan Ruyu stared at him and said, “Meng’er rarely cries unless it has something to do with you, Yan Zhen. Did you say something to her?”
“No, I haven’t been able to see Meng’er all day.” Yan Zhen pondered, “She shouldn’t think I intentionally stood her up, right? That’s not enough to make her cry.”
His silly cousin wasn’t a petty girl. If she was really stood up, she would just come to him to settle the score and make big demands.
“Anyway, go to her room and check on her.”
Yan Zhen nodded and quickly walked towards Yan Meng’er’s room.
