13: Chapter 13 Do you have any spirit crystals left?

Inside Qian Mo's bag.

Xing Yaoyan was still reminiscing about the young man's heroic performance just now.

Looking at this pretty boy with his thin arms and legs, she hadn't expected him to be such a capable fighter, especially considering he used only his Physical Body to withstand several quasi-Superpower users.

Those Moves of his were very similar to the Wing Chun Kung Fu she had seen in her past life, but he had modified the Moves to be more concise and more lethal, as if they were practiced specifically for killing...

Wait!

Judging by his best friend's reaction, this guy should have been someone who was bullied at school before, and he was even forced out of school by Liu Yan. Yet, he suddenly showed his brilliance right at this critical juncture, near the "National Superpower Awakening Ceremony"...

Moreover, he even hid his own strange Superpower. This boy has a very deep mind; he absolutely cannot be left alive...

Suddenly, Xing Yaoyan remembered the scene where the young man invited her to become family, and her heart couldn't help but waver.

"Is he... actually being sincere?"

"Hey! You there!"

A light shout interrupted Xing Yaoyan's thoughts. She poked her head out and looked toward the source of the sound.

She saw a tall beauty standing with her hands on her hips, shouting toward Qian Mo. Her white training uniform was particularly eye-catching among the many school uniforms.

"Are you calling me?"

Xing Yaoyan felt the young man stop and turn around to look at this uninvited guest.

"Yes! Quickly tell me where you learned those Moves you used to hit them just now."

"Why should I tell you? See you around."

The young man's answer was very blunt.

Ignoring the girl who was shamed and angered by being ignored, Qian Mo directly pulled the dumbfounded Yun Lan toward the classroom.

"No, man?! Such a big beauty is standing right in front of you, and you really have no reaction at all? She clearly started getting curious about you. According to the normal development of a power fantasy novel, you should play hard to get a bit, have some private sparring, get some physical contact... and finally, she'd be added to your harem..."

Xing Yaoyan stared blankly at this beauty's hesitant and helpless yet charming appearance. In her heart, she was fantasizing about how she would woo this beauty if she swapped identities with her own poop-scooper.

"To be honest, that Enforcer named Captain Li Qiaoyan from before was also quite pretty, but unfortunately, she was too ruthless..."

She thought back to the miserable death of the snake demon and couldn't help but shiver.

"Wait! Mentioning her... according to her words, this guy couldn't really like interspecies stuff..."

Thinking of this, she felt a sudden chill in her heart.

"No way! Although I can transform into human form, being wooed by a man—I definitely don't want that!!!"

Suddenly, Xing Yaoyan saw a flash of white appear behind the girl.

It was a white fox!

It lightly rubbed against the girl's flushed cheek as if comforting her. Then, as if sensing something, it turned its head to glance in her direction and seemed to whisper a few cries into the girl's ear.

"Holy crap! Don't tell me that just because my master—bah! my servant—ignored you, you're setting your sights on me!"

Xing Yaoyan quickly retracted her head, thinking she still needed to keep a low profile.

Going to school with Qian Mo was something she had basically planned yesterday after learning about the basic situation of this world. After all, "What is learned from books is superficial; to truly understand, one must practice."

Only by seeing with her own eyes and experiencing it personally could she truly lay the groundwork for her future path of growth.

"Qian Mo."

It was another cold female voice.

"No way! This guy's luck with women is so strong! Back in my day, the only chance I had to talk to girls was when I was collecting homework. Why him..."

Through the gap in the backpack, a cold figure came into view. The baggy school uniform could not hide the girl's slender figure. Her long, straight black hair paired with a few strands of bangs on her forehead was the perfect image of a 'White Moonlight' in the hearts of all high school boys.

"Look! Isn't that the school beauty, Yu Linger? Why did she come to find a loser like Qian Mo?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't know? Our school bully Liu Yan and his gang were just beaten up by this kid. It's a pity you came early and didn't see his smooth set of Moves..."

"And Liu Yan and the others all used Qi, yet they were still instakilled by this kid. I didn't expect him to be hiding his talents for so many years..."

...

"What is it? Class Monitor," Qian Mo spoke coldly.

"The group with Liu Yan at the school gate—that was your doing, right?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait..."

Yun Lan instantly blocked the space between the two, causing the originally frozen atmosphere to suddenly loosen.

"Lady Class Monitor, give this humble one some face. Besides, Liu Yan and his group were the ones in the wrong first..."

*Hum—*

"This Qi fluctuation... First Rank! She's awakened?!"

Xing Yaoyan was startled for a moment, but she quickly relaxed again.

"It's fine. No Superpower manifested; she's not as powerful as Qian Mo."

"Yun Lan, how much is your 'face' worth? Go play somewhere else."

"Aiya, Lady Class Monitor, harmony is precious, harmony is precious..."

Yun Lan said with a chuckle, showing no intention of moving his body.

Seeing this, Yu Linger stopped bothering with him and spoke directly across Yun Lan to Qian Mo behind him:

"The homeroom teacher just called me, saying that some loser without Qi used underhanded methods to injure the Eldest Young Master of the Liu family. He said the perpetrator should go to the Dean of Students' office after school to personally apologize to Liu Yan and pay him a certain amount for medical expenses."

"To tell the truth, I don't know how a loser without Qi like you defeated Liu Yan in front of everyone, but you need to understand one thing..."

"Strength is the only truth in this world!"

*Whoosh!*

A pencil stopped before Qian Mo's eyes at some unknown point, the tip only a few centimeters away from the young man's pupil.

Yet Qian Mo didn't even blink.

"Hiss~ Big brother, you've got guts!" Xing Yaoyan praised admiringly in her heart.

Seeing the young man's calm and unruffled appearance, Yu Linger only felt that her authority had been violated.

In the past, as long as she coughed, this loser would inexplicably tremble. This was because, as the first student in the class to awaken a Superpower and get early admission, her authority was deeply rooted in everyone's hearts. And as a loser without Qi, wasn't it reasonable to fear the strong?

"Hmph! You just know I won't bully the weak, so you're just putting up a front. I can't be bothered to waste so much breath on you anyway. Just remember to go apologize after school. I don't want to receive calls from the teacher while I'm cultivating."

After saying that, she tossed her head and walked toward her seat with her head held high like a proud swan.

"Wait!" Qian Mo suddenly spoke.

"What? Don't think about asking me to help you..."

"May I ask if you have any used spirit crystals? I can buy them with money," Qian Mo asked seriously.

On the market, only spirit crystals filled with Qi were sold. Although they could greatly increase a Superpower user's cultivation rate, they were expensive. Generally, used spirit crystals were just thrown away by everyone, though a few people might keep them at home as souvenirs.

Therefore, Qian Mo also wanted to try his luck and see if he could find some to give to his Xiao Yan as snacks.

Inside the bag, Xing Yaoyan silently gave her 'brother' a deep kowtow in her heart upon hearing his words.

"I have some, but what for? You still want to try cultivating? No, there's no Qi in these discarded spirit crystals..."

"How many do you have? I can buy them."

"Aiya, ten in total. Here, take them, take them. But I'll give you one last piece of advice: as someone without Qi, don't have any unrealistic ideas about these cultivation items. Your ceiling is already set. If you ask me, you should drop out of school early to avoid being bullied by others..."

Yu Linger casually took out a few transparent stones from her Spatial Ring and threw them to Qian Mo, leaving behind a few unkind words before swaggering away.
