Chapter 5

The next morning, when Wu Neng finished tidying up and walked out of his room, he found Qin Huang sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, practicing breathing exercises. A faint, profound, and mysterious aura emanated from him.

"…Boss, why are you up so early today?" Wu Neng was a bit surprised, knowing that due to his health issues, Qin Huang had been lacking energy and rarely got up early this semester.

Wu De also poked his head out of his room, blinking and sizing him up for a moment before asking in confusion, "Your injuries from yesterday shouldn't be fully recovered yet, right? Why not rest a bit more? Today's classes aren't that important, I can go and ask the teacher for a leave of absence for you."

Qin Huang opened his eyes and smiled faintly, saying, "No need. Taking too many leaves will also deduct credits! And I'm fine now!"

He wasn't deliberately hiding anything. After the optimization and repair by the AI core, and a night of cultivation, this mysterious technique had already shown its incredible effects. Not only had the many minor internal injuries accumulated from long-term overtraining been healed, but his overall physical functions had also been significantly enhanced, and his mental state had noticeably improved.

If he were to take a test now, his various vital function data would certainly show a comprehensive improvement compared to the previous day, with his source energy index exceeding 8. If he were to participate in an armed cross-country training session today, he would definitely pass.

As time went on, he was indeed very much looking forward to how much the "Alaya Vijnana Mind Method" would enhance his life essence.

After confirming that Qin Huang wasn't just bluffing, the two brothers finally felt relieved. They had a simple breakfast, and Wu De suddenly remembered something, said goodbye to the two of them, and left first.

Qin Huang and Wu Neng left the dormitory area together and headed towards the nearby teaching area.

From time to time, familiar students passed by, and the two of them chatted and laughed with ease. Today's classes were few and only cultural courses, so they felt no pressure at all.

The tranquil campus, with its lush green vegetation, surrounded the tall, light blue circular teaching buildings. The cultural atmosphere was gentle, yet it carried the stern and sharp aura of a military school.

Most of the buildings on the immigrant planet were built with the principle of being sturdy and durable. Since it was a military academy, the many teaching buildings were primarily constructed from large blocks of dark-patterned granite, making them heavy and solid. In emergencies, they could serve as military defense fortresses.

It didn't take long before they reached the entrance of the third teaching hall. A harsh scolding voice suddenly rang out. Qin Huang looked over and saw Wu De fighting with a student who had a fierce expression.

Despite Wu De's strong defense due to his massive build, the other student was indeed powerful and was gradually gaining the upper hand.

"Stop!" Qin Huang shouted angrily and rushed forward.

The other student sneered and suddenly turned, his figure moving as fast as the wind, charging at Qin Huang with a steel-knuckled fist. The fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, grew rapidly in front of his eyes, determined to knock him down.

Qin Huang snorted coldly, his steps pausing slightly. His right arm swung out like lightning, drawing a circular arc in the air, clenching into a fist, and intercepting the fierce attack by a hair's breadth.

"Bang!"

A dull collision sound echoed, and Qin Huang's body leaned back slightly, taking two steps back to steady himself.

The attacker's state was similar, taking three or four steps back before stabilizing. He stared at Qin Huang in disbelief for a few seconds, then subconsciously examined his steel-knuckled fist, seemingly still not understanding what had happened.

"…Isn't Liu Caihui very strong? How could he not even deal with a weakling?" A curly-haired, blue-eyed student passing by stopped and said in surprise.

"Are you stupid? Qin Huang is also quite strong! Even if Liu Caihui is a bit stronger, it's not easy to beat him!" A petite and delicate girl retorted.

A slightly mature-looking boy said, "Qin Huang's strength was indeed good before, but unfortunately, his physical condition has declined a lot this semester. He probably can't match Liu Caihui!"

"Then what about the exchange just now? It seemed like Qin Huang wasn't at a disadvantage at all!"

"Moreover, Liu Caihui was equipped and ambushing him, while Qin Huang was unarmed..."

"Who knows! Maybe that guy didn't have breakfast today..."

The students passing by chattered, and Liu Caihui's relatively calm face turned a bit green. He laughed dryly and said:

"Classmate Qin Huang, I didn't expect you to recover so quickly from your injuries yesterday! I was worried you might not pass the final exam, so I wanted to give you some pointers! Hehe..."

He and the young man had always had a strained relationship, and this ambush was meant to embarrass him in front of everyone and mock him a bit. With Qin Huang's physical decline and unhealed injuries, he wouldn't pose a threat. However, he hadn't expected Qin Huang to be so alert, and he hadn't gained any advantage.

"What did this guy use? How can he look like he's not injured at all? Could it be that he wasn't really injured..." Liu Caihui muttered to himself, touching his still numb right hand.

Qin Huang's deep eyes stared at him for a few seconds, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Pointers? Sure! It's good for classmates to help and learn from each other! How about... I give you some pointers too!"

Before the guy could react, the young man's figure had already vanished from the spot. The next moment, a dull sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed.

Liu Caihui felt a sudden, powerful impact on his abdomen, and intense pain spread through him. His tall, muscular body was forced to retreat seven or eight steps before he could barely stabilize himself, his face pale.

The surrounding students looked on in disbelief, seemingly not expecting a recognized top student to be outmatched by Qin Huang.

"You... you..." His face was ashen, not knowing what to say.

Qin Huang lightly shook his hand, stepped forward to help Wu De up, and smiled calmly, "Sorry, I'll let you off this time! We can have a proper match another day!"

"Of course, we should have a proper match!" A calm voice came from outside.

A tall, handsome boy with cold eyes appeared, supporting Liu Caihui and sizing up Qin Huang.

Wu Neng's face changed slightly, stepping forward to shield Qin Huang, "Xiao Pingyue, are you planning to join in too?"

This new boy was no ordinary person but one of the top elite students in the school, with an extremely distinguished background. He had access to more high-quality resources for cultivation and was said to have the strength of a beginner mobile suit, with a source energy index of 12, and had passed the official mobile suit qualification exam!

According to Wu Neng's estimation, even the two brothers combined with Qin Huang at his peak wouldn't be a match for this guy!

Xiao Pingyue's eyes flickered, "Liu Caihui lost because he was outmatched, and he got what he deserved. However, Classmate Qin Huang, it seems your strength has recovered well. Hmm! I recently obtained a new cultivation technique, which is quite powerful. How about we have a proper match another day?"

Qin Huang agreed indifferently, "Sure, I welcome it!"

Xiao Pingyue nodded, gave him a deep look, and then left with Liu Caihui.

As the class time approached, the students in the classroom gradually gathered.

The content of today's lecture was not complicated, covering the development history of human civilization's mecha troops. The lecturer, Zhao Zirong, opened a 4D holographic projection and began to explain in detail.
