2: The predecessor of the dog licker, why!
"Damn, Dragontail actually dared to ask for the registration form? Is he serious?"
"Hiss, this is bad. Our Class Eight's reputation is really going to be ruined by this guy!"
Ye Chen's words clearly provoked the other students in the classroom again, causing their gazes towards Ye Chen to become somewhat unfriendly.
Even Du Qingqing's brows furrowed tightly: "Ye Chen, you need to think this through. The Martial Arts Class test requires at least 80 points of Qi and blood, and you..."
As a homeroom teacher, Du Qingqing clearly knew Ye Chen's test score from last month, which was only 45 points. Now, there's only one week left until the Martial Arts Class test. Could it be that Ye Chen can suddenly surge to 80 points?
As for Ye Chen's previous words, Du Qingqing completely dismissed them as the ramblings of a young and reckless person who couldn't handle being provoked.
So Du Qingqing wanted Ye Chen to calm down. After all, giving up now, though a bit embarrassing, was still better than making the entire grade lose face in a week.
"No need, Teacher Du, just give me one!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, walked out of his seat, approached Du Qingqing, and extended his hand.
Du Qingqing looked at this scene, feeling a bit helpless. After all, there were no restrictions on the Martial Arts Class test, so she still gave Ye Chen a registration form.
"Ye Chen, once you've signed up, you can't be absent then, otherwise you will be disciplined."
Du Qingqing still reminded him.
However, Ye Chen just smiled, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote his name on the registration form.
Seeing Ye Chen write his name, Du Qingqing became even more helpless. She shook her head but still confirmed Ye Chen's registration.
However, this scene only made the other people in the classroom even more disdainful.
"This guy is actually serious, but if we really let him take the test, our Class Eight will be completely disgraced."
"Damn it, a Dragontail should just focus on academics. Why does he have to get involved in Martial Dao? I don't know what Ye Chen is thinking."
"Hmph, he's all talk and no substance. When the Martial Arts Class test comes, I'd like to see what he'll do!"
Inside the classroom, a chorus of voices rose and fell.
Ye Chen, however, paid no attention, instead immersing himself in the System prompts constantly ringing in his mind as he slowly walked back to his seat.
On the way, Ye Chen felt a surprised gaze directed at him. He looked over and saw a cold-faced girl looking at him with a surprised expression.
Ye Chen felt the girl's face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall it for a moment. He just smiled slightly at her, then returned to his seat.
At this moment, Mu Bing, who saw Ye Chen smile slightly at her, became even colder.
"Bing'er, I told you this guy was trying to get your attention. After all, as a Dragontail, he can only use such methods to gain your attention!"
Next to Mu Bing, a big-eyed cute girl pulled Mu Bing's arm and couldn't help but say.
Mu Bing's face grew even colder as she listened to her deskmate's words.
Ye Chen's pursuit of Mu Bing was no secret in Class 8, Senior Year 3. On the contrary, the entire class knew that Ye Chen was Mu Bing's crazy suitor.
Things like delivering breakfast, milk tea, and all sorts of fawning behaviors were fully displayed by Ye Chen.
However, regarding Ye Chen's pursuit, Mu Bing, while not rejecting him, still maintained a very clear distance from Ye Chen.
"Him? My goal is Jiangnan University. A Dragontail is not worthy of me!"
Mu Bing sneered.
The big-eyed cute girl next to her pulled Mu Bing's arm even more intimately and said, "Of course! Our Bing'er will be a Martial Dao Empress in the future. A bootlicker like Ye Chen is destined to only wag his tail in front of our Bing'er!"
"But speaking of which, Bing'er, the school's subsidy for Ye Chen should have come down this month, right? If you have Ye Chen's subsidy, you should be able to make further progress in the Martial Arts Class test in a week. Then, you might even get more resource allocation!"
The big-eyed cute girl was Mu Bing's deskmate and best friend, named Liu Qian. During Ye Chen's pursuit of Mu Bing, she often offered advice to Mu Bing.
The idea of not rejecting him but maintaining a certain distance was suggested by Liu Qian.
Hearing Liu Qian's words, a hint of temptation appeared in Mu Bing's eyes.
She knew very well that Ye Chen had always been accommodating to her requests.
"When school is over, I'll find him. If I go to him myself, he definitely won't refuse!"
Mu Bing thought to herself. Although it was a bit unethical, in order to achieve a higher score in the Martial Arts Class test, Mu Bing still chose to do so... As the commotion surrounding Ye Chen subsided, Teacher Du on the podium continued to explain Martial Dao knowledge.
She occasionally looked at Ye Chen in the corner, and seeing him with his eyes closed, she felt even more disappointed in him.
Eventually, she bothered with Ye Chen's matter no longer.
However, what Du Qingqing didn't know was that at this moment, Ye Chen was silently cultivating the Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique, beginning to refine his Qi and blood.
During the previous commotion, the Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique had undergone several internal evolutions. At this moment, it had already entered the Minor Achievement Realm, just like Breeze Step.
Soon, the class bell rang, and Ye Chen slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
"Not bad. According to the original body's memory, today seems to be when the school's subsidy for his orphan status came down. It's just right to exchange for some Cultivation resources. This way, my chances will be even greater."
Saying that, Ye Chen stood up, preparing to collect the school's subsidy.
As an orphan, Ye Chen not only received a monthly subsidy from the school, but the Great Xia government even specially gifted Ye Chen a set of affordable housing. Although not large, it was enough for Ye Chen to live alone.
However, just as Ye Chen stood up, he heard a cold voice from behind him.
"Ye Chen, you should be going to collect the subsidy, right? After you collect it, send it to me."
Ye Chen's expression instantly became strange. He turned around and saw Mu Bing's cold face, as well as Liu Qian, who was glaring at him without politeness.
"It's her?"
Ye Chen also remembered that she was the person he had smiled at earlier.
At the same time, the fragmented memories in his mind were quickly digested and absorbed by Ye Chen. However, after understanding Mu Bing's identity, Ye Chen's expression became even stranger.
Simply put... Ye Chen's previous self was Mu Bing's bootlicker, the kind who would obey Mu Bing's every command!
"I'm not the previous self..."
Ye Chen murmured, then calmly looked at Mu Bing and said, "Why?"
