Wang Zheng did not change his training plan just because Ye Zisu was there. After completing the Guiyi Technique, he needed to do some warm-up exercises to keep his body in sync with the technique, promoting balanced development.
"Ye classmate, isn't Wang Zheng your Dawn's ace?" Zhang Shan's tone had calmed down, though the admiration in his eyes remained.
Ye Zisu smiled slightly, "What makes you think so?"
"Hehe, I really want to understand how strong someone can be to make Dr. Xiao Fei change her mind!"
Mentioning Xiao Fei, Zhang Shan's eyes showed genuine enthusiasm and admiration.
"This might disappoint you, but Wang Zheng struggled to pass his exams for four years of high school and only entered the War God Academy at the last moment."
"What?" Zhang Shan finally lost his composure, his mouth wide open, "That's impossible!"
"Actually, I also find it hard to believe."
Ye Zisu watched Wang Zheng enjoying his slow jog, feeling a bit puzzled herself. She really couldn't understand how this guy's mind worked.
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time to get to know him." Zhang Shan smiled, thinking that in a new school and a new environment, he wouldn't be lonely.
The first two days of the semester were the best time for clubs to recruit new members. Banners were everywhere on both sides of the campus, and places like the drama club and dance club, which had many beautiful girls, were particularly popular. Of course, there were exceptions, like the CT War God Club, which was packed with people. Even though there were no girls, having brothers was fine, making it the only club for guys that stood out.
Other clubs like martial arts, free fighting, and boxing also had participants, but their scale was incomparable.
However, Wang Zheng was directly ignored... because of the physics department's emblem.
For the physics department's otakus, everyone was politely declining.
The CT side was too noisy, and Wang Zheng was actually quite interested, but he thought it would be more convenient to train alone. After all, it was better for training, but it would be a waste if it turned into pure entertainment.
After breakfast, Wang Zheng went to the school's service system to link his class schedule and related materials. The Tianxin was receiving information, including some books that Wang Zheng had read a few years ago.
Right across from the physics department was the mecha department's territory. The mecha students were chatting and laughing, and although there were mostly boys, the number of students who wanted to become mobile warriors was endless every year.
Whether it was due to being deceived or childhood hero dreams, the allure of mechas was hard to resist.
Wang Zheng was one of those thoroughly deceived, drooling at the sight of others enjoying themselves.
The Tianxin beeped... It was Xiao Fei, summoning him. It was only the second day of the semester, and formal classes wouldn't start until tomorrow.
Just as he was about to leave, a crowd of people became noisy, and a young man in the mecha department's uniform walked out. He was indeed handsome, and it was the first time Wang Zheng had seen someone who could rival Xie Yuxin, perhaps even more perfect, hard to criticize. Was this the era of tall, rich, and handsome guys?
"Is this guy Masas from the Moon?"
"Of course, personally invited by the principal, the elite of the elites."
"Dead tired, why did he come to Earth? Wouldn't it be better to stay on the Moon, which represents the highest level of the solar system?"
"Who knows what he's thinking. Maybe he couldn't make it on the Moon anymore."
"This guy is said to have been rated as the new school grass by the girls."
"Tsk tsk, can't help but say, this guy's appearance is really something."
Masas seemed to have completely ignored the comments around him, always wearing a smile, which made him more approachable than Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin was only more relaxed when with him and Yan Xiaosu.
At this moment, the crowd became noisy again. Another person came from the opposite side, with striking red hair, chewing gum, and a rebellious look on his face.
This was clearly not dyed but the unique red hair of Martians. Kalu, quite tall and imposing, but his thick lips added a touch of depth to his sharp demeanor, making him not entirely off-putting.
"Masas, I told you, we would meet again!" Kalu's lips curled with a hint of provocation.
Masas smiled gently, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Hehe, do you think that old guy Gut has the ability? I came here for you, but I really want to know why you came here instead of Atlantis."
Kalu licked his lips, full of interest. This time he didn't need to rush. In the same school, there would be plenty of opportunities to face off, and there was no way to avoid it.
As the top students in the solar system, they were very familiar with each other.
Masas smiled slightly, "Principal Gut was very sincere."
"Bullshit, this place has nothing special except for the girls and some ancient ruins. Being honest won't kill you!"
In the solar system's student rankings, Masas had been ahead of Kalu for two years. He absolutely didn't believe that this proud guy would come to this place just because of someone's sincerity.
Masas smiled again, not responding to Kalu. By now, the Tianxin had finished downloading. "Earth has its own characteristics. Let's learn from each other in the new semester."
Kalu pushed Masas' hand away, "The moment I defeat you, I'll leave this place."
He completely ignored the anger around him, openly stirring up trouble, not realizing that he was on Earth, not Mars.
The wildness of Mars was evident in Kalu.
"Kid, you're Kalu, right? Don't be too arrogant. The War God Academy is one of the top three colleges on Earth and is well-known throughout the solar system. If it weren't for you being a freshman, you would have been beaten up long ago."
A third-year student from the mecha department couldn't stand it anymore. This guy was too arrogant.
Kalu's smile faded, "Do Earthlings like to talk? No wonder they say the Earth military is all talk now."
"Looking for death!"
The mecha department's senior couldn't stand the provocation and threw a punch, hitting Kalu's face directly.
Kalu wiped his face, "Dude, did you finish your milk yet?"
He kicked out, and with a bang, the student was sent flying over five meters, landing on the ground motionless.
"Too weak, this place is just a vegetable garden. Masas, what can you learn here?"
This was the War God Academy's home turf, and the excitement couldn't be contained. A group of people surrounded them.
"What, are you going to gang up? Trash like you, no matter how many, is useless."
In an instant, five or six people were taken down. They were not in the same league. Kalu was completely fearless, and it was said that Martian military schools were known for their brutal style. Civilization?
Why bother with it in a military school?
Masas didn't intervene, just watching quietly. His eyes showed some disappointment. He knew Earth had declined significantly in recent years, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.
The students were too comfortable, and the key was that they lacked ambition.
Bang...
Kalu's hand was blocked. Xie Yuxin remained cold, "Kalu, this is not Mars. Don't go too far."
"Hehe, I wondered who it was. Isn't this Xie Yuxin? I thought you went to the Aslan Empire. Tsk tsk, this is more interesting. For your sake, I won't hold it against them today."
Kalu bounced back, pushing Xie Yuxin away, and straightened his clothes, "This year, I will defeat both of you and leave this place!"
The Aslan Empire had the best military school in the galaxy, representing the highest level. Kalu, Masas, and Xie Yuxin all had the qualifications to attend.
However, getting into the Aslan military school was hard, and staying was even harder. In recent years, many students from the solar system had been sent back, completely discouraged, and they never talked about their experiences there.
Kalu, of course, wanted to go, but he needed to be the best in the solar system to have a chance.
Xie Yuxin didn't pay attention to Kalu. This guy was naturally arrogant, but he was happy to see Wang Zheng. Just then, Kalu suddenly kicked Xie Yuxin.
The crowd was shocked. No one expected Kalu, with his reputation, to attack from behind.
Xie Yuxin didn't expect it either and instinctively stepped back. But the second kick came, hitting Xie Yuxin. Although he blocked it, he lost his balance and flew out. Kalu didn't let up, taking two big steps and delivering a fierce elbow strike.
Fighting on Mars was a daily occurrence, and deception was a part of the Martian tradition.
A figure appeared in the middle, catching Xie Yuxin and blocking Kalu's fierce elbow.
"Classmate, you have quite a temper. There are plenty of opportunities to spar." Wang Zheng's left hand grabbed Kalu's right elbow.
Kalu suddenly exerted force but found his opponent unmoving. He turned his right elbow and broke free.
He looked at Wang Zheng with interest... from the physics department...
Xie Yuxin pulled Wang Zheng, "Let's go, this guy is a mad dog."
Xie Yuxin wasn't easily provoked, which made him more suitable for the command department.
"Actually, I find this guy quite interesting."
On the way, Wang Zheng said, not thinking there was anything wrong with a sneak attack, especially when a group of people were ganging up on one person. If you weren't strong enough, you couldn't make excuses.
"Kalu is the top student of this year's Martian class. It's quite strange that he and Masas came to the War God Academy. My grandfather actually visited many people, and in the end, only they agreed. To be honest, my grandfather was completely unprepared."
Xie Yuxin explained. Combat wasn't his specialty, and even if he fought, he wouldn't be a match for Kalu. Moreover, he couldn't afford to offend him. The War God Academy was still good on Earth, but it was getting worse outside. Attracting Kalu and Masas was a miracle, and he couldn't be too serious. Otherwise, he wouldn't just let it go if he couldn't win.
"Can I join the mecha department if I defeat that guy?" Suddenly, Wang Zheng's eyes sparkled.
"..., if you perform well in the military training, I can recommend you, but that guy only used about 50% of his strength. Those from Mars are all monsters."
Xie Yuxin shook his head.
(Skul髅 recently adjusted his schedule. He went to bed at 9 yesterday but woke up at 11 and stared at the ceiling for three or four hours. What a world, who has a good sleep trick?)
