99: Wang Rui was dizzy
As Han Lie was about to enter the classroom, a shout came from behind him.
"Han Lie!"
He turned around to see Wang Rui. Han Lie and these classmates had become acquainted through their previous encounters.
"What's up?"
"There's something I need to tell you!" Wang Rui gestured to go to the side, and Han Lie followed.
"Actually, it's nothing..."
Wang Rui hesitated slightly, "It's just that yesterday my teacher sent me a Zhu Xia Split-Bone Ape. After carefully observing it, my Pile Stance has improved by leaps and bounds. I'm afraid I can now hold it for more than half the class..."
"Oh..." Han Lie nodded slightly.
"Don't misunderstand!"
Wang Rui continued, "I'm not telling you this to show off. I'm just letting you know in advance that I used an external aid, so our Pile Stance competition ends here...."
"Pile Stance competition?"
A large question mark appeared above Han Lie's head. "No, who was competing with you? Me?"
"Ah!" Wang Rui's face looked unnatural. "I thought... our previous interactions counted, but it doesn't matter anymore. Now that I've used an external aid, even if I win, it won't be glorious. So, that's it..."
With that said,
He turned and returned to the classroom.
"???"
Han Lie was truly stunned.
He realized that this national top scholar must have a chuunibyou teenager similar to Cui Dazhi living inside him.
To put it bluntly, you consider me your opponent? But I don't even have you in my sights...
Of course, this wasn't looking down on others' passion.
It was simply that,
He had never considered this aspect.
Just standing in Pile Stance in the same classroom, and it turned into a competition for him. No wonder he was always gritting his teeth; he really wanted to win.
However, this kid was also open and honest.
He admitted to using an external aid.
Thinking about it,
Han Lie felt that if this competition were to continue, should he truthfully reply:
"Yesterday I gave a woman a massage!"
"And then we had sex!"
"So—"
"I comprehended the God-Demon Heaven Piercing Ape martial arts Pile Stance, and because it's a higher-level existence, my understanding of the Zhu Xia Split-Bone Ape also rose accordingly. It's no exaggeration to say that for you all, it's a dimensionality reduction strike... Well, I've opened a cheat!"
Forget it, hard to say.
..........................
Soon,
Classes began, and students successively stood in Pile Stance; Han Lie did the same.
"Whew—"
He had never felt so relaxed. Normally, as soon as his movements were slightly standardized, his whole body would ache inexplicably, and he thought that was a sign of effective body tempering. However, he didn't know that while it was somewhat effective, there were still slight issues with his movements, which was why he felt so fatigued.
Now it was good.
Neither too tired, nor was his Qi and blood being tempered.
If he wasn't in the classroom,
Han Lie really wanted to pull out his phone and scroll in a special pose. He figured if he were at home, he could probably watch movies with a projector or something.
As for the few people next to him,
No,
No!!
These prodigies, as usual, while diligently practicing their Pile Stance, occasionally paid attention to Han Lie.
And before, whenever this happened, his forehead would sweat, but today it didn't. His expression was still quite comfortable and relaxed, as if everything was effortless.
"He improved again?"
Everyone's hearts jumped.
They quickly withdrew their attention, thinking that they couldn't fall too far behind Han Lie today.
In a blink of an eye,
20 minutes passed.
Most of the students in the front could no longer hold on, then relaxed, stretched their muscles and bones, and observed the group of top students in the middle.
They didn't participate, but they enjoyed watching who would last the longest. Perhaps some of them even placed bets secretly.
Some people stared at Han Lie,
Some people stared at Wang Rui.
Quietly saying:
"Wang Rui is so strong today. I can clearly feel that he's in super good condition today, and his posture is incredibly stable. I feel like he can stand for at least another thirty minutes!!"
"Are you kidding? Another thirty minutes!! If he stands for another thirty minutes, he'll have stood for almost an entire class. When has he ever been able to last this long before?"
"Don't say it, it really might be possible. Haven't you heard that Wang Rui's teacher got him a Zhu Xia Split-Bone Ape corpse? For our current Pile Stance, that's undoubtedly the number one spiritual treasure!!"
"Then it's over, what about Han Lie?"
"...Although Han Lie is also in good shape now, if you put it that way, I think he's probably going to lose today!!"
"So what!"
Zhu Caiwang's voice was slightly loud, "What if he loses, what if he wins? Han Lie hasn't not won before. If he loses today, he'll win it back later!"
"That's true!"
Everyone thought about it and largely agreed. It had always been like this before; one of them would suddenly become stronger. This was also why they enjoyed discussing it.
..................
Soon,
Half the class passed.
There was no dismissal, and no break.
Other classes had them, but in martial arts Pile Stance class, there was no such thing as a bathroom break.
Subsequently,
A large group of top students couldn't hold on anymore.
They quietly complained about the bell being too loud, or not sleeping enough last night, or the cafeteria food not tasting good in the morning, or a rock under their seat, etc., etc.........
To summarize,
They were strong, but failed due to objective factors.
While chatting,
Another ten minutes passed.
Now, only Han Lie and Wang Rui were still in Pile Stance. Everyone was shocked, because this time had already broken their previous records!!
These two got stronger again?!
Are they even letting people live?
Everyone wailed in their hearts.
Even the ever-composed Zhao Heguang cast his gaze over. Wang Rui's progress was foreseeable; with the Zhu Xia Split-Bone Ape's corpse, his understanding of Pile Stance would definitely reach a new level. For a genius like Wang Rui, rapid progress was a given.
But Han Lie, what the hell was he doing?
Did he also have similar heavenly treasures?
Thus,
Everyone stared intently at the two standing in Pile Stance.
They wanted to know how long they could last, and who would claim the final so-called victory.
Another twenty minutes passed.
Wang Rui's face was already covered in sweat.
As for Han Lie,
His complexion was only slightly flushed.
Like he had just warmed up.
"Han Lie isn't going to win today, is he?"
Another ten minutes passed.
Wang Rui's body was trembling.
Han Lie was still acting as if nothing was wrong. The people present were no longer those who didn't understand the Zhu Xia Split-Bone Ape martial arts Pile Stance. They practiced Pile Stance every day and had a lot of say in whether the movements were standard.
Han Lie was extremely standard.
Just like a textbook.
Wang Rui's body was already trembling, and his movements... honestly, it was good enough that he could still maintain them.
"This Han Lie......"
Everyone gasped.
The fear of being subjected to Han Lie's 360-degree, no-dead-angle dimensionality reduction strike resurfaced in their hearts.
No way, no way?
The weakest in Pile Stance,
In a short time,
No, to be precise, only three days since the last class, you've become this strong?!
They really wanted to question Han Lie.
Another five minutes passed.
Wang Rui's body had reached its limit, and his mind was already somewhat hazy. In his vision, this world only had Han Lie in front of him, and the latter was as stable as an insurmountable mountain.
"Impossible... impossible...."
"How could he be this strong!!!"
Wang Rui still wanted to persevere.
But his body was already alarming him,
Finally... about three minutes later, his eyes went black, and he fell straight over.
"Holy crap?"
Everyone reacted quickly.
And Han Lie,
Also reacted swiftly.
He was the closest and grabbed Wang Rui in one swoop!!
While the classmates breathed a sigh of relief, they were also shocked.
This Han Lie...
How could he be acting as if nothing happened? Didn't they say that after standing in Pile Stance, one would be completely exhausted?
Why wasn't it like that for him!!
Han Lie briefly checked Wang Rui,
And found that he was fine.
So he sighed slightly:
"Youth is great!"
"Pass out and sleep!"
