5: The dazed Xu Mengyao went out of the city to hunt!

Xu Mengyao had already made up her mind to publicize Li Ziyu's test results in the class group, making him lose face.

"Let's go, an ordinary person isn't worth getting angry over. Let's go take our test," Bai Haoran said calmly.

Xu Mengyao nodded, and with that, the two walked into the room where Li Ziyu had just been tested.

The testing equipment all had test records that could be checked. There was nothing confidential about those below a First Grade Warrior, so they were all accessible.

Xu Mengyao watched Bai Haoran sit down in the testing equipment.

She had initially put Li Ziyu's matter out of her mind.

But then, as if by some strange impulse, she spoke to Bai Haoran in a soft, sweet voice.

"Bai Shao, since we're already here, why don't we pull up Li Ziyu's vital energy test record and take a look? It might even boost our confidence."

"Is it really necessary?" Bai Haoran frowned.

However, seeing Xu Mengyao's pitiful expression, he ultimately couldn't resist a beauty's request.

He could only helplessly reach out and swipe across the screen in front of him, pulling up the test records.

As he did so, he muttered helplessly.

"Didn't you say his vital energy was only 0.8 yesterday?"

"It hasn't even been a full day since then. His vital energy couldn't possibly have changed."

"With 0.8 vital energy, no matter how much he trains, it's too late. He won't be in the same class as us anymore. I really don't know why you still bother with him… Eh?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Bai Haoran's voice stopped, and he let out a light sound of surprise.

Bai Haoran furrowed his brows, looked up at Xu Mengyao with a puzzled expression, and asked curiously:

"Are you sure Li Ziyu's vital energy test result yesterday was 0.8?"

"Yes, I'm sure. We're in the same class, and he tested right after me. I saw it clearly. What's wrong, Bai Shao?"

"See for yourself."

Bai Haoran finished speaking and stepped aside. Xu Mengyao got up and peered over, her expression immediately freezing.

"0.92 vital energy? How is this possible?"

"This couldn't be someone else's, could it?"

"Li Ziyu just came out, and we went in right after him. It couldn't have been anyone else."

Xu Mengyao was a bit stunned, feeling like her mind couldn't process it.

She even began to doubt if she had seen incorrectly yesterday.

After all, increasing vital energy by 0.1 in one day was simply impossible.

If he could increase it that much, Li Ziyu might very well reach the vital energy requirement for a martial arts university in a week.

"Could the machine be broken? I'll go find someone to check it."

Recalling the change in Li Ziyu's attitude towards her today, combined with the change in his vital energy.

A strange feeling inexplicably arose in Xu Mengyao's heart.

According to what she read online.

There was a type of genius whose vital energy might be very low normally.

But they just awakened late, and once they awakened, their strength would improve by leaps and bounds.

Could Li Ziyu be that kind of genius mentioned online?

Without waiting for Bai Haoran's response, Xu Mengyao turned quickly and walked towards the door, as if to verify something.

Outside the door, at the front desk.

A Bald Strongman was enthusiastically boasting about something to the female front desk attendant, spitting as he spoke.

He was burly and had a powerful physique.

While praising the female attendant, he looked at her with lecherous eyes.

From his demeanor, if there hadn't been surveillance cameras in the store, he probably would have already made a move.

The female attendant suppressed her displeasure, responding to the Bald Strongman with a detached air.

This man was named Niu Dali.

He was a coach at the Hong Su Martial Arts Hall.

He was extremely lustful and had privately messaged her several times trying to ask her out, but she had always refused.

If he hadn't been a First Level Peak Martial Artist,

and she was just an ordinary person who couldn't afford to offend him.

The female attendant probably would have already lost her temper.

"Front desk, it seems there's a testing machine acting up here. Could someone please come take a look?" Xu Mengyao called out from the testing room.

The female attendant was about to respond.

When she heard Niu Dali speak first, putting on a serious and upright expression, looking like an expert, and walking towards Xu Mengyao.

"I'll take a look."

A moment later.

"This testing equipment isn't broken. What you're describing, your classmate probably encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter."

"Students, you're students from nearby, aren't you?"

"The Martial Exam is coming up soon. Why don't you sign up for a crash course with me?"

"For just one hundred thousand yuan, I guarantee you'll be able to improve your strength to the next level before the Martial Exam and get into a good martial arts university!"

Niu Dali checked the equipment while flexing his strong muscles.

He also showed them his First Level Peak Martial Artist badge.

"We'll think about it."

Bai Haoran was somewhat tempted.

But he didn't agree immediately.

One hundred thousand yuan was not cheap after all; even with his family's wealth, he had to consider it.

"Alright, add me on Flying Letter. If you need anything, come find me anytime. I'm a First Level Peak Martial Artist, and I definitely won't rip you off."

Niu Dali didn't press the issue.

After taking out his phone and adding them on Flying Letter, he turned and left the testing room.

Before leaving, he specifically closed the door, giving Bai Haoran a meaningful, 'men understand' expression.

After Niu Dali left, Xu Mengyao also tested her own vital energy on the testing equipment.

It had increased by 0.02. This was the result of Bai Haoran giving her some vital energy-replenishing medicine after she got close to him.

Otherwise, with her ordinary family background, she wouldn't be able to afford these vital energy-replenishing medicinal ingredients.

Although her vital energy had increased, Xu Mengyao couldn't be happy.

Now Li Ziyu's vital energy had increased, and it was very likely he could get into a martial arts university.

Also, the way Li Ziyu looked at her just now gave her a sense of loss.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."

"Even if Li Ziyu can get into a martial arts university, it'll be the worst one, definitely not comparable to Bai Haoran."

"After all, Bai Haoran is almost ready to take the First Grade Warrior assessment. As long as I hold onto Bai Haoran tightly, my future development will definitely be better than following Li Ziyu."

...

After leaving Bai Haoran Martial Arts Hall, Li Ziyu didn't go home.

He was an orphan; he had never seen his parents' faces since he could remember.

His only relatives were his aunt's family.

Now that he had the system, the most urgent task was to quickly improve his vital energy.

After all, having vital energy protecting him, moving swiftly, and feeling like his body had endless strength, that feeling was just too exhilarating.

"Killing mosquitoes, cockroaches, and rats is really too slow for vital energy improvement."

"And those things are only found in sewers, which are disgusting."

"I remember there are many unrated ferocious beasts, Red-Eyed Rabbits, near the city wall. I'll go hunt those!"

On the way out just now, he had already experimented with over a dozen species.

From tiny ants and cockroaches to large spiders and rats, he tried them all.

The vital energy increase was negligible.

He didn't know if it was because these creatures were no longer sufficient as his vital energy increased, or what the reason was.

In any case, the increase wasn't as much as it was initially.

The key was that with advanced technology now, urban sanitation was well-maintained, and these things were hard to find.

"It's a pity that Xu Jiang City's slaughterhouse uses technological slaughtering; otherwise, the slaughterhouse would definitely be a paradise for my improvement!"

Li Ziyu sighed and quickly walked towards the city wall.

He had seen Red-Eyed Rabbits before.

Though called ferocious beasts, they were more like mutated rabbits.

Aside from having slightly redder eyes than normal rabbits, being more irritable, and having strong reproductive capabilities.

They were basically no different from ordinary rabbits.

An ordinary person could even kill one with a stick.

Let alone him, a martial arts student.

When he was almost at the city wall.

Li Ziyu turned into a sporting goods store.

He used his remaining money to buy a steel knife and a sack, then headed to the city wall.
