200: It is common sense that you become stronger by spending money!

For over a whole month, he had been slacking off.

Liu Ren's skipped classes were made up in one afternoon by the furious Xu Ling'er.

If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't be qualified to hit Liu Ren.

Xu Ling'er was different; she truly taught the other members of the team, including Liu Ren.

She was the second-ranked in Liang City's academic and combat scores, possessing truly formidable strength.

These past few days, when Tang Gao was busy, Xu Ling'er was always in charge of everyone's academic and combat assessments.

When Xu Ling'er discovered that Liu Ren hadn't done anything at all and his overall strength had declined, she was so enraged that she immediately began chasing him, until Tang Gao returned and obtained the legendary weapon, the Steel Wire Seven Wolves, which finally gave Liu Ren a complete childhood.

After a full half-hour, Xu Ling'er finally stopped her pursuit and sat on the sofa, panting.

Liu Ren chuckled awkwardly as he brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xu Ling'er: "Sister Xu, don't be angry. Next time you give me a Cultivation plan, I will definitely complete it on time."

Xu Ling'er glared at him: "If you keep being so lazy, how will you ever become a person above others in the future?"

Liu Ren's mouth twitched: "Logically speaking, I'm already a person above others…"

Xu Ling'er's eyes widened, Liu Ren's neck recoiled, and he immediately resumed his awkward chuckle.

Xu Ling'er calmed herself down and said seriously: "This is an incorrect notion. If you slack off, then your responsibility is transferred to your family, such as your parents or Xiao Yi."

Liu Yi shrugged, expressing his agreement.

He truly didn't have many demands on his elder brother, but his elder brother really needed to become self-reliant, at least possessing a skill for self-preservation.

Ever since Brother Tang was hospitalized, his elder brother had been enjoying his laziness.

Without Brother Tang's supervision, his elder brother completely let himself go.

Sure enough, after being dragged to Cultivate for two days, Sister Xu found him out.

Liu Ren tried hard to argue: "I don't want to be some great hero who stands tall. I just want to live my life lazily. Is that wrong?"

Xu Ling'er's mouth twitched, and her anger subtly began to rise again: "Is that your reason for not even Cultivating properly?"

If you just completed the basic amount, I wouldn't be so furious.

Liu Ren chuckled awkwardly, not daring to argue anymore.

Tang Gao shook his head. Little Ren was incredibly glib and skilled at changing the subject. If one followed Little Ren's rhythm, they would likely be led astray.

However, it was clear that while Xu Ling'er was rough, her strength as the second-ranked in academic assessment and combat assessment was real.

From beginning to end, she never fell into Liu Ren's linguistic traps.

Xu Ling'er, exasperated, looked at Tang Gao: "Tang Gao, look! When you're not here, Little Ren just fools himself and fools us!"

Xu Ling'er didn't want to argue and directly reported to their leader, Tang Gao.

Tang Gao lightly coughed: "From today onwards, I will train with you all."

Liu Ren's face instantly paled, as he vaguely envisioned himself being brutally beaten by the combined efforts of two overachievers.

What's wrong with me, a mere salted fish!

I just want to lie flat!

I want to be a good-for-nothing, what's wrong with that!

Liu Ren gritted his teeth and protested: "You are ignoring my feelings! Ignoring my free will!"

Tang Gao reached out and asked Xu Ling'er for the Steel Wire Seven Wolves.

What is good, what is bad, I see you, kid, are muddled and can't tell the difference.

I tutored you until you entered Qingkai, not to see you slack off and not even properly Cultivate basic lessons.

If Xu Ling'er had gone easy just now, I would have had to beat you myself.

Liu Ren's words were instantly swallowed back, and he chuckled awkwardly: "I think Cultivation is quite good. I will actively participate."

Tang Gao put the Steel Wire Seven Wolves into his spatial backpack and calmly said: "Since you've been beaten, what's past is past. Start Cultivating properly and being a good person from tomorrow."

Liu Ren lay on the sofa, sighing.

After leaving his hometown, he indeed no longer got beaten by his dad.

Now he started getting subjected to mixed doubles by Brother Tang and Sister Xu.

My life is truly good; I consecutively met two academic overachievers as friends.

Tang Gao took a bottle of cola from his spatial backpack and threw it to Liu Ren. Liu Ren caught it and then, with a playful smile, twisted it open and began drinking his happy fat-house water.

"Tsk tsk, his happiness is truly simple."

Look, his sadness never lasts more than three seconds; after a while, he can find happiness and smile.

Tang Gao lightly coughed: "Little Ren is thoughtless; he's caused you trouble."

His mind is simple; he can't think of overly complex things, nor can he absorb overly complex knowledge.

As Tang Gao, who had taught Liu Ren for many years, he had a profound understanding.

It was clear that during these past few days of being a hands-off manager, Xu Ling'er had been so angry she wanted to kill someone.

Xu Ling'er looked at Tang Gao and couldn't help but ask: "How did you manage to teach him to get his academic assessment scores up?"

In just this short period, Xu Ling'er's blood pressure had exploded from anger.

Both stupid and lazy, if it weren't for Tang Gao's help, this kid would never have been able to enter Qingkai.

Xu Ling'er couldn't even imagine how Tang Gao had managed to achieve this miracle.

Tang Gao calmly replied: "Repetition, massive repetition, until his energy was depleted."

Xu Ling'er was silenced, giving a thumbs up: "You are a ruthless person."

She couldn't surpass Tang Gao in Cultivation, couldn't surpass him in academic assessment, and couldn't even surpass him in guiding others.

Tang Gao shrugged: "Alright, no more fooling around. I want to ask you something: I want to enhance my defense. Do you have any good ideas?"

The air fell into silence.

Liu Ren burped and stared blankly: "Brother Tang, you want to enhance your defense?"

With your boundless, liver-king-like foundation, do you still need to enhance your defense?

Tang Gao nodded: "Yes."

Xu Ling'er recalled the Winter Sealing Magic she had meticulously developed last time, which couldn't even break through Tang Gao's defense, and her mouth twitched: "Are you trying to make me cry by saying that, to get revenge for your brother?"

Tang Gao rolled his eyes: "I'm not that boring. I want to ask if there's a way to stack defense to a sixth-tier level?"

Everyone looked at each other, bewildered.

This went beyond everyone's common knowledge.

Seeing this, Tang Gao had no choice but to temporarily set aside this difficult problem: "Alright, has everyone eaten? If so, let's go to the training building to Cultivate together."

Liu Ren stammered: "Can I not go? Didn't you say it would start tomorrow?"

Tang Gao looked at him indifferently.

Xu Ling'er's eyes widened.

Liu Ren chuckled awkwardly, immediately standing up: "Okay, I'm going now."

The companions teamed up and headed to the training building. During this time, to make up for Liu Ren's missed classes, Tang Gao personally took charge of teaching, while Xu Ling'er corrected others' problems and strengthened their combat assessment levels. General Feng, meanwhile, was slowly breathing in the corner, digesting his transverse bone, striving to transform and speak.

Training continued until ten o'clock, when Tang Gao was the first to return home to contemplate the problem of strengthening his defense.

Xu Ling'er, however, continued to lead everyone in training and was the last to go home.

To be fair, Xu Ling'er was a bit rough, but she was indeed very responsible in her actions, and she was also very straightforward and didn't fuss over minor gains or losses when interacting with others.

Especially during these past few days when Tang Gao was temporarily absent, she became the backbone of the team with her formidable combat prowess and outstanding academic assessment scores.

Tang Gao summoned the consciousness of his Clones and began a discussion: "How do you all view the upcoming defense test?"

Shinnong Alchemist shrugged: "My specialized talent combined with your Righteous Path Pill Body talent, right? Rely on eating Medicinal Pills to stack up defense."

Violent Justice Emissary stroked his chin: "The most basic defense can be solved by Medicinal Pills, but diverse attack methods will require evolution."

Destruction Magic God enthusiastically raised his hand: "I'll cast spells to give His Holiness a bath!"

Mechanical Yuanzun's eyes flashed with data streams: "I can create a training ground to help His Holiness evolve his defense."

Demon God Lord looked at the terrible ideas of these poor brothers, and coldly snorted, expressing disdain: "Hmph."

The four Clones were provoked and all looked at this annoying fifth brother.

"Demon God Lord, don't think you can be arrogant just because you've latched onto a powerful figure. If it really comes down to strength, none of us are afraid of you!"

"Exactly, exactly, Brother Violent Justice, beat him!"

"Right, right, beat him, beat him!" * 2

Demon God Lord snorted coldly: "The poor rely on mutation; the rich rely on technology."

Subtly, a few of them were mocked, and they rolled up their sleeves, ready to beat the Demon God Lord.

Tang Gao raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that? Do you have a plan?"

Demon God Lord was concise: "I have a Demonic Pool here that can evolve Dark-element attributes."

Tang Gao and the Clones tactically leaned back, beginning to gasp in astonishment.

Everyone could already smell the aura of a big shot from the Demon Realm.

Demon God Lord looked at them, raising an eyebrow: "Getting stronger by spending money, that's common sense."

-----

Reporting the achievements of the big shots. As of now, the total number of gifts in the backend is 15161. Yesterday it was 14409.

In other words, you all worked hard and gave me 752 gifts.

The total value of the gifts should be over two hundred.

It's strong, but not that strong. It's still a bit short of a thousand total, and a bit short of five hundred in total value…

But still, thank you all very much, you are truly adorable.

Come on, let me update ten or eight chapters and go all out. Don't let me be idle!
