31: The first person in Jianglin Base pays attention to Su Jun!

Silence.

Zhao Song, on the other end of Shen Qiang's call, fell silent.

Immediately following that, a roar of anger erupted, sounding like an Evil Dragon's bellow!

"Shen Qiang!

Get the hell out of my sight!"

Then, a busy signal sounded from the phone.

Shen Qiang looked utterly bewildered.

What was going on?

He had only told Zhao Song the truth, so why was Zhao Song cursing him?

Gu Mei and Shen Wei were also filled with astonishment.

They hadn't expected Zhao Song to react this way after they mentioned that Su Jun might have tampered with the Life Qi meter and the strength tester?

Shen Qiang quickly redialed Zhao Song's number, wanting to ask what was happening.

However, he found that Zhao Song had already blacklisted him.

"Principal Zhao blocked me?

Wife, use your phone to call Principal Zhao."

Shen Qiang refused to give up, but just as Gu Mei took out her phone, she put it back.

Shen Qiang didn't understand why, and he urged, "Wife, call him!"

Gu Mei shook her head, "Husband, I think we shouldn't."

"Why?"

Shen Qiang didn't understand, and Shen Wei looked confused.

Gu Mei rested her chin on her hand and explained, "Husband, the reason Principal Zhao got angry, I think, is precisely because you said Su Jun fooled him."

"How so?"

Shen Qiang didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions.

Gu Mei rolled her eyes.

"Husband, think about it.

When you said Su Jun fooled Principal Zhao, didn't that indirectly imply that Principal Zhao was foolish?

It seemed like you were criticizing Su Jun, but you were actually suggesting that Principal Zhao was incompetent!"

Shen Qiang slapped his forehead in annoyance; how could he have missed that implication!

Shen Wei also suddenly realized the truth.

"Wife, then do you think Principal Zhao, being angry, will give the quasi-third level martial skill he requested to someone else?"

Shen Qiang was worried, and so was Shen Wei.

Gu Mei, however, shook her head.

"Husband, if Principal Zhao wants Sixth High School to achieve outstanding results in this Wu Exam, he will definitely give the quasi-third level martial skill to Wei Wei!"

Shen Qiang and Shen Wei felt that made sense after hearing it, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Nevertheless, Shen Qiang planned to bring a gift later to apologize to Zhao Song.

On the other side, Zhao Song felt somewhat indignant after hanging up the phone.

"What kind of person is that!

Just because Su Jun has strong Life Qi and strong punching power, they think he must have tampered with the Life Qi meter and the strength tester?"

"Old Brother Zhao, after all these years, your temper is still the same."

Just then, a young voice teasingly sounded from his other phone.

On the video call screen was a sharp-eyed young man.

He was wearing a straw hat and leaning lazily against a treetop.

Below him lay a massive green snake whose abdomen had been pierced through!

This was a Level 4 Exotic Beast comparable to a human Martial General, the Azure Heaven Python.

It was easy to tell that this terrifying Azure Heaven Python was killed by the young man.

Judging by the wound, it was an overwhelming, crushing kill.

"General Luo, they say it's easier to change rivers and mountains than to change one's nature.

Old Zhao, I just have this bad temper."

Although the person in the video was very young, Zhao Song showed no neglect whatsoever.

In fact, his eyes held deep reverence.

This young man was General Luo Chen, the strongest expert in Jianglin Base!

When Luo Chen first joined the military back then, he had trained under Zhao Song.

Thus, the two had a very good relationship.

"General Luo, regarding that quasi-third level martial skill..."

"Old Brother Zhao, I told you to just call me Little Luo.

As for the quasi-third level martial skill you mentioned?

First, send me the profile of the top person at your Sixth High School."

"Alright."

Zhao Song immediately sent the profile he had prepared to Luo Chen.

When Luo Chen saw the profile, he was slightly surprised, "Su Jun?"

Zhao Song froze, "General Luo, is there a problem?"

Luo Chen shook his head, then opened a file that Guan Ping, the President of the Kaizhou City Martial Arts Association, had sent him.

This file was also about Su Jun.

It turned out that Guan Ping had sent confidential information about Su Jun even earlier.

"Looks like it's the same person.

Huh?

Why is the Life Qi wrong?"

Luo Chen saw that in Guan Ping's file, Su Jun's Life Qi was 103, while in Zhao Song's file, it was 153!

Luo Chen could understand the difference in punching power as Su Jun hiding his strength.

But what was with the massive change in Life Qi?

Could it be that Su Jun was a gifted Martial Artist?

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had been so interested in a high school senior.

"Old Brother Zhao, I agree to your request for the quasi-third level martial skill.

And I can also give Su Jun an extra item!"

"Ah?

Really?

Thank you so much, General Luo.

I will definitely have Su Jun thank you in person later!"

Zhao Song had originally thought he would need to use some persuasion, but Luo Chen readily agreed.

Furthermore, besides the quasi-third level martial skill, there was also an additional treasure.

"Old Brother Zhao, if I can find the time, I'll come to Kaizhou City to see Su Jun's performance in the Wu Exam!"

"That would be wonderful!

Your personal visit to Kaizhou City would surely excite many candidates..."

Zhao Song was very happy.

But he quickly realized something was amiss.

If he could find the time?

"General Luo, is the situation inside Jiangcang Base very complicated right now?"

Zhao Song was one of the few people who knew that Luo Chen had gone to the neighboring, fallen Jiangcang Base.

"That's right.

The news reported only two Level 4 Exotic Beasts, but there are actually more than that!

Furthermore, I suspect..."

Luo Chen didn't continue speaking.

But Zhao Song had already guessed something.

His expression instantly became much more solemn.

"Then will this terrifying beast tide descend upon Jianglin Base?"

Luo Chen remained silent...

The next day.

Su Jun woke up early.

After his night of "battle," his Lifespan had increased by another 80 points.

Allocate points!

[Name: Su Jun]

[Realm: Peak Martial Artist]

[Talent: None]

[Life Qi: 920]

[Cultivation Technique: Tiger Crane Combination Fist (Level 1, Perfection)]

[Martial Skill: Benlei Fist (Level 2, Major Achievement)]

[Weapon: D-grade Alloy Gauntlets]

[Lifespan: 0]

Su Jun quickly washed up.

Then he took the leftover Exotic Beast meat from the fridge and reheated it.

He went to knock on Shen Bingye's door.

The door was open, but no one was inside.

This was the first time Su Jun had seen the entirety of Shen Bingye's room.

A simple bed, a desk, a chair, a wardrobe, and a bookshelf.

The gifts he had bought for Shen Bingye yesterday were neatly placed on the desk, seemingly untouched.

Su Jun was stunned.

Was there really a girl who didn't care about beauty?

"Cough, cough... Su Jun, what are you doing?"

Just then, Shen Bingye's light cough sounded behind Su Jun.

Su Jun felt a bit awkward.

Entering a girl's room without permission seemed inappropriate.

"Calling you for breakfast."

Su Jun turned around, and when he saw Shen Bingye, he was surprised.

Usually, Shen Bingye never dressed up.

But today, she was clearly different.

Although she was still wearing simple athletic wear, there were traces of makeup on her face.

Her dark long hair now featured the delicate hairpin Su Jun had bought yesterday.

On her wrist was the white bracelet Su Jun had specially chosen.

"Oh?

Little Ice Leaf, why did you dress yourself up today?"

Grandma returned from outside.

When she saw Shen Bingye's hairpin and bracelet, she gave a knowing smile.
