Chapter 9

In the OP room, Wang Chong closed his eyes, savoring the strike he had just made. It seemed to go well, but there were many imperfections. His dodging movements were too stiff, almost fragmented, and his mindset was not calm enough. There was also a problem with the final strike. He used an elbow strike because the attack distance was insufficient, and his reaction was about 0.2 seconds too slow. In theory, the opponent's attack had a large gap, and a follow-up attack would have been more effective, possibly even fatal instead of just causing unconsciousness.

After completing the battle, Wang Chong went to the gravity room to start his physical training. His childhood of frequent illnesses had taught him the importance of a strong body. Although his soul power had always been a source of trouble, he had never neglected his physical training.

It was the beginning of the semester, and whether it was freshmen or upperclassmen, no one was really thinking about training yet. Everyone was still immersed in the aftertaste of the holidays, so the gravity room was empty. When he was a freshman, one times gravity made him feel great, but now, even at three times gravity, he felt nothing. His soul power naturally surged to the surface, countering the external pressure without much conscious effort. Although Wang Chong's peak soul power was low, his vast soul sea was unmatched by anyone.

After training for half an hour in the three times gravity zone, Wang Chong was drenched in sweat, feeling incredibly refreshed. Every cell in his body was brimming with boundless energy, a stark contrast to his usual weakness. He checked the time and walked deeper into the gravity room. The four times gravity zone was also empty, and Wang Chong's body began to show some resistance. When he reached the five times gravity zone, his body felt heavy, and he knew this was about his current limit. As he opened the door, he was surprised to find someone inside...

In the five times gravity zone, someone was doing push-ups, with a very stable soul power fluctuation.

The person didn't expect anyone to come to the five times gravity zone at this time, stood up, and sized up Wang Chong, smiling brightly. "Hello, senior."

Although he was a man, Wang Chong couldn't help but be amazed. This guy was incredibly handsome, but not in an intimidating way. He had an angelic presence, which was probably the realm Ma Dong had always pursued.

"Sorry to disturb you. I thought no one was here," Wang Chong said with a smile. For a freshman to have such impressive physical condition, he was likely a special recruit.

"Of course not. I'm Glay Christie, from Ophir City. I'm a freshman in the Command Department. How should I address you, senior?" Glay looked at Wang Chong with curiosity.

Wang Chong was slightly taken aback. "I'm Wang Chong, also in the Command Department. Ophir City is one of the top ten cities in the Free Federation. Why did you choose to come here?"

"I'm very interested in runes, and Tianjing is the best in the field of rune technology. I must have been ignorant. Tianjing Academy is truly a place of hidden dragons and tigers," Glay said, sensing that the person in front of him was probably very powerful. "Please take care of me, senior!"

Wang Chong was at a loss. He couldn't really take care of such a genius. "I won't disturb your training. I hope you have a good time at Tianjing Academy."

Tianjing Heroic Soul Academy was famous for its rune forging technology, which was indeed the best in the Free Federation. Many geniuses from other cities came here for this reason.

Wang Chong closed the door, and Glay inside maintained a faint smile. It seemed he had underestimated Tianjing. Suddenly, Glay's smile froze. How could this be!

In the five times gravity room, he had maintained a high-intensity soul power fluctuation to protect his body, but that person...

Wang Chong had already returned to the dormitory, taking a refreshing cold shower. Ma Dong was still not back, as he only stayed a few times a year. After reading for a while, Wang Chong fell asleep, snoring softly...

Early in the morning, Wang Chong was woken up by the ringing of his Tianxin.

"Wang Chong, Wang Chong, where are you? Come to the square quickly. Damn it, today is the critical moment for our Quirky Club!" Ma Dong's voice was very high-pitched, full of fighting spirit.

Emilie's strong addition had completely unleashed Ma Dong's already overconfident nature. He had secured a spot early in the morning. Today was the last day for club recruitment, and once classes started, the Student Council would review the club qualifications. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this time, they were targeted by the witch Mirami. If they didn't gather enough members, they would definitely be dissolved.

They were just one person short, and with a whole day, they should be able to find someone.

By the time Wang Chong arrived, the school square was already crowded. After a day of inquiries, most freshmen without a club had already found their targets.

The problem was that while other clubs were surrounded by people, the Quirky Club was deserted.

Ma Dong sat dejectedly to one side, with only the bulky Barren working hard to attract attention.

"What's wrong? You sounded so energetic just now," Wang Chong asked.

"Despicable, shameless, and overbearing!" Ma Dong said angrily. "That old witch, Mirami!"

Everyone knew that the Black Rose wanted Emilie, and the Quirky Club was destined to be dissolved. Anyone who joined the Quirky Club at this time would be opposing the Black Rose.

Wang Chong was slightly taken aback. "Where's Emilie?"

"She said she has a test. Wang Chong, what should we do? Should I talk to Mirami and let her merge our Quirky Club?" Ma Dong asked.

Wang Chong shook his head. "We're just one person short. I don't believe we can't find someone."

An hour later, Wang Chong and Ma Dong once again realized the gap between their club and others. Not a single person came. "Wang Chong, should we give up? Offending the Black Rose will make our lives difficult. Besides, a good man doesn't fight with women. Let them have it," Ma Dong said.

Wang Chong shook his head, and Ma Dong sighed. His friend seemed easygoing, but he was actually very stubborn.

"Are you the Quirky Club?" Two people appeared in front of the Quirky Club's booth.

Ma Dong quickly stood up, but he cooled down when he saw the emblem on their chests. They were from Saint Judgment, one of the four major clubs in the academy and the strongest club in the Warrior Division.

"What do you want? I'm the president, Ma Dong."

The taller one smiled arrogantly. "I'm Lu Zhantian from Saint Judgment. Let Emilie join us, and we'll make up for the two members you're missing."

Ma Dong had heard of Lu Zhantian, the vice president of Saint Judgment. They were all after Emilie. He just wanted to start a Quirky Club. What had he done to deserve this?

Ma Dong was a strange person. He could compromise for a beautiful woman, but he had no interest in men. "Sorry, Emilie has no interest in joining Saint Judgment."

Lu Zhantian didn't expect Ma Dong to be so disrespectful. With many people around, he couldn't act out, but he stared at Ma Dong intensely. "Are you sure?"
