Chapter 112: Chapter 103: Li Zhi: You Still Have a Mission You Haven’t Released

Half the lunch break was over, and Shen Yuan had already worked on his task for three hours.

"Time for a break."

Rubbing his somewhat sore and stiff left hand, Shen Yuan prepared to take a 15-minute nap.

Before sleeping, Shen Yuan glanced at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was already asleep, lying face down on his desk.

Young Master Li didn’t have Shen Yuan’s "Vigorous and Full of Energy" ability. Since their sleep schedules were about the same, he naturally had to make up for his lack of sleep during the lunch break.

Of course, if he was truly exhausted, Li Zhi would also randomly select a class to "attend to him in his chambers."

He would drift off to sleep amidst the passionate lecturing of the teacher.

When Shen Yuan woke up, Li Zhi was still asleep. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

’What a sleepyhead.’

Shen Yuan shook his head, his gaze then falling on Ah Jie beside him.

"Pig!"

Looking at the soundly sleeping Ah Jie, Shen Yuan patted his shoulder. "Hey, wake up."

Ah Jie slowly came to, staring blankly at Shen Yuan.

"Baa?"

"Time to copy your vocabulary. How many have you even memorized since this morning? You’re sleeping before your task is done? At your age, how can you be sleeping?"

"Can I just give up on the task?" Ah Jie said weakly. "I’m so sleepy, Yuan."

"Then we’ll give you an Aruba after class."

Hearing this, Ah Jie took a deep breath, then exhaled it in defeat.

"Yuan, be a human, will you?"

Shen Yuan shook his head. "I understand what you mean. It’s perfectly normal, because I, too, am a master who fought his way up from the bottom."

"Though I was a peerless genius in a certain field since childhood, my talents went undiscovered. It was only after suffering endless humiliation that, for the sake of revenge, I finally realized my potential through a winding path, defeated countless powerful enemies, and ascended to the summit, while others could only gaze up at my departing silhouette."

"Ah Jie, don’t you want to be a man like me? Grasping your sharp sword in hand, like a drunken swordsman, staggering in your steps, yet your aura flows like clouds and water. Jie, this hardship is only temporary. One day, you will use your sword to write your own legend in the martial world!"

Ah Jie’s blank gaze gradually cleared, but his tone was still wooden. "Where did you copy that from?"

"I didn’t copy it."

Shen Yuan stiffened his neck, looking like he would rather die than admit it.

By now, Ah Jie was gradually waking up. He said to Shen Yuan, "That was a pretty rousing speech, but... I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, and I forgot the end. Besides, as for swords like the one you’re talking about, I already have two!"

Shen Yuan’s sword was named English, while Ah Jie’s, naturally, were Math and Comprehensive Science.

"But no matter how strong your two swords are, they can’t cover up your weakness."

Shen Yuan snatched up a gel pen and aimed it at Ah Jie’s heart. "As long as you fail to remedy your deficiency in the Way of English, you will never defeat me! Even if your other two swords are stronger than mine, the gap between us in English isn’t something they can make up for!"

"I only need to pull a little trick regarding your English score, and your defeat will be sealed!"

Ah Jie took a deep breath.

He felt as if Shen Yuan had struck a nerve.

"Fine! You’ve successfully convinced me!"

Ah Jie sat up and shook his head to clear it.

"I’ll start honing my third sharp sword right now! Just you wait, Shen Yuan! I’ll definitely surpass you in this month’s exam! Thirty years in Hebei, thirty years in Hennan; do not bully a young man for being poor!"

"You even said that with an accent?"

"It’s a habit."

The lunch break ended, and after the two afternoon classes, Eldest Female Cousin came to the classroom.

"Time for the weekly English test! Everyone, look sharp!"

"Yeees—"

the students of Class 15 replied, drawing out the word.

Soon after, Shen Yuan heard the same sound coming from Class 14 next door.

In short, they just had to get the test over with.

However, for Shen Yuan, the weekly English test was like dealing with a little kitten at home.

A piece of cake.

Even while doing kegels and squeezing a grip trainer, Shen Yuan’s speed on the English test was still very fast.

After a short rest following dinner, Class 15 was greeted with the weekly Comprehensive Science test right before the evening self-study session began.

After the full two-and-a-half-hour weekly test was over, Shen Yuan felt completely burned out.

Ah Jie, on the other hand, was doing just fine.

Seeing the burned-out Shen Yuan, Ah Jie finally found his chance to gloat.

"Yuan, so you’re not so great after all!"

Shen Yuan gave a dry laugh, not bothering to argue with Ah Jie. He patted Chen Mingyu and Yang Ze in the front row and jerked his head.

"Let’s go, let’s go. Time to drain the main vein."

"Drain it, drain it!"

After a two-and-a-half-hour test, their bladders had accumulated quite a bit of "inventory."

The chemistry teacher, Old Zhang, who was collecting the test papers, didn’t stop them, merely reminding them not to be too loud in the bathroom.

After all, other classes were still in their evening self-study session.

Ah Jie watched Shen Yuan leave with the other two, feeling like he’d been cut off halfway through showing off.

It was agonizing.

’No, I have to see this boast through to the end!’

Ah Jie got up from his seat and quickly caught up with Shen Yuan’s group.

"So, what did you guys think of the difficulty of the Comprehensive Science test?"

The moment Ah Jie finished speaking, the three of them turned to glance at him, then all turned their heads back in unison.

They completely ignored him.

This made Ah Jie feel terrible.

"Hey! You guys!"

Yang Ze turned back and scolded, "Quiet down! Other people are still in class! You have no manners!"

Ah Jie opened his mouth, but he felt so awful he couldn’t get a single word out.

Once they reached the bathroom, Ah Jie still tried to speak.

But Shen Yuan shut him down with some "bathroom etiquette."

"Anyone who talks about grades in the bathroom loses a centimeter off their dick."

Ah Jie immediately shut his mouth.

After they were done draining their pipes, the group dawdled on their way back to the classroom.

It was as if they could waste away the remaining twenty-or-so minutes on this short walk.

When they got back to the classroom, Old Zhou was already patrolling inside.
