These things are a bit unreliable, but they hint at the direction of the training. To strengthen the body and turn disadvantages into advantages, one must start with the details.

For example, the strength of the fingers.

Push-ups are not to be abandoned. Wang Zheng easily did one with a single hand after a backflip, but what if he used just one finger?

Thud.

Wang Zheng fell to the ground, sat up, and grinned foolishly.

Then he started trying again.

Perhaps due to the bone training, he had a bit of a masochistic streak. He started with all five fingers and gradually reduced the number.

This would enhance both arm and finger strength. Even if he couldn't support himself, Wang Zheng wouldn't use the Qi from the Unity Technique, as that wouldn't serve the purpose of physical training.

Deceiving oneself was clearly meaningless.

In the training room, Wang Zheng fell again and again, ending up in a sorry state, but his face was filled with a joyful smile.

A new and fulfilling day began. The military training gradually faded away, and everyone returned to their normal campus life.

After a democratic decision in Dorm 007, everyone decided to divide and conquer.

Zhang Shan's target was Meng Tian. As Zhang Shan put it, the more challenging, the more he wanted to conquer.

Yao Ailun's target was An Mei. As everyone said, the introverted choice was always sexy.

Chen Xiu's target was Du Qingqing. Chen Xiaoxiu always believed that age was an advantage, and only a young boy could be invincible. You're all too old.

As for Ye Zisu, everyone was quite brotherly in letting her go. Although Wang Zheng didn't say anything, no one believed there was nothing between them.

Wang Zheng couldn't argue with this. Anyway, his life was much more fulfilling now.

Actually, Wang Zheng wasn't really without a target; it was just that the person was far away, and he didn't know if they would ever meet again in this life.

Damn, when did he become so sentimental as a warrior?

Wang Zheng encouraged himself and walked toward the classroom. A new day had begun. He had reasonably allocated his courses, focusing on the physics and mecha engineering courses. As a physics student, he couldn't let his major courses slide.

The next day, all departments entered a regular routine, and the professors began teaching systematically. Generally, everyone was very passionate in the first year, and skipping classes was rare.

The atmosphere in the mathematics department was a bit tense.

Half an hour into the class, Professor Marcus stood motionless in front of the blackboard, while the students whispered among themselves. Could this solution be correct?

After a long pause, Marcus turned around, his eyes scanning the class like a cobra, and he knocked heavily on the blackboard.

"Who wrote this?"

His expression was as if he wanted to eat someone. Everyone looked at each other, wondering who would be so foolish as to write on the blackboard directly, even if they wanted to solve the problem.

Perhaps realizing his expression was a bit "ferocious," Marcus smiled. "Who did this? I've been on Earth for five years, and I thought there was nothing here but pigs. It seems I was shallow. This is a work of genius. I've never seen this solution before. It's not just beautiful, it's exquisite!"

Marcus's expression was almost intoxicated. Everyone had only repeated the same methods, which were valueless, but suddenly someone had opened a path he hadn't even thought of. It was truly remarkable, elevating the understanding of equations to a new height.

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that Marcus was targeting Xiao Fei. They were collaborators, and Marcus's temper was notoriously bad. Despite his high level, many students had been crushed by him.

At this moment, a student raised his hand. "I don't know. A student from another department came yesterday and wrote it."

Marcus laughed. "That's impossible. This is a high-level fourth-degree equation. Even if a math student could solve it, they would be considered a genius. If a student from another department could solve it, we wouldn't need to be here."

At this point, everyone was sure Marcus wasn't being sarcastic. For stupid algorithms, Marcus was never stingy with his sharp criticism, often leaving students unrecognizable.

"It seems to be from the physics department."

"Yes, I remember it looked like a physics department uniform. He's not very old, probably a freshman or sophomore."

Marcus was stunned. Another department? Freshman or sophomore?

Marcus had no mood for class. "Record this. This is a new solution, and it can at least earn a reward within the solar system."

The class erupted. Damn, how exaggerated?

There was actually such a genius in the school!

And he wasn't even Marcus's student!

Even Grandma couldn't stand it!

Marcus rushed to Principal Gute's office, speaking urgently.

Gute was speechless. "Cough, Dr. Marcus, the school always considers your requests, but can you tell me who this student is and which department they're from?"

Marcus was taken aback. "I don't know, just that they're from the physics department, probably a freshman or sophomore."

Gute was stunned, then smiled bitterly. "That's a bit difficult. There are so many students, but don't worry, I'll do my best to find them. Talent is a good thing."

Marcus calmed down. "Alright, Principal. This matter needs to be handled quickly. I'll send this solution to the Solar System Federation's Number Theory Committee for evaluation. I feel confident it will win an award."

"Really that good?" Gute was stunned.

"Or do you think I have nothing better to do?" Marcus glared.

Gute was helpless. Being a principal was tough, especially when dealing with a group of geniuses.

The first week of formal classes was always full and exciting. When the weekend arrived, everyone felt a sense of relief. As soon as school was out, Yan Xiaosu eagerly came to find Wang Zheng.

"Boss, the beauties in our business department are really numerous. You should come over."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"You know the situation in the physics department. It's like a dinosaur park, Jurassic, and the math department is like the Cretaceous. Our finance department is different, with a 1:4 male-to-female ratio. Sigh, double flying."

Yan Xiaosu looked wistful, then a bit helpless. "But unfortunately, the prettiest ones are in the military department."

Wang Zheng nodded. "The students Ye Zisu brought for the joint activity were indeed very pretty."

Yan Xiaosu immediately teared up. "Boss, you can't forget your old friends for new ones. How could you forget me in such an activity? We grew up wearing the same open-crotch pants."

"Get lost, who wore the same open-crotch pants with you!"

"Whatever, I want beauties. You have to introduce me, or I'll tell Ye Zisu that you have a crush on her!"

Yan Xiaosu said with a righteous tone.

"You're ruthless. Next time, if there's such an activity, you go instead. I'm not really interested."

"Truly a brother. Let's go have some fun, my treat."

The "fun" was just going to the internet cafe for a few rounds. The owner's face lit up like a blooming chrysanthemum when he saw Yan Xiaosu. Of course, Yan Xiaosu couldn't ignore the owner's enthusiasm and swiped his card to recharge, the rhythm of a big spender.

But once the battle started, Yan Xiaosu immediately abandoned Wang Zheng. He hadn't played for a long time and wanted to find some experts to carry him.

Wang Zheng logged into CT and sent a message to the system. He didn't know if the other party was telling the truth, and after so long, they might have forgotten.

To Wang Zheng's surprise, the system replied shortly after he sent the message.

At the CT Asia headquarters, the hall was bustling with activity. Soren was personally overseeing the situation, and the opponent was already prepared.

This wasn't a match, but a challenge.

The official announcement was made.

One-on-one challenge: Skeleton vs. Wild King

No embellishments, but the comment section was already in turmoil.

Who is Wild King?

For the past three months, he has been the top-ranked scout in the American region, skilled in using the advanced mobile suit, the Lunar Army's Light Cavalry D-type.

Known for his comprehensive abilities and sharp awareness, he is a top-tier diamond-level expert in the European region. He wants to challenge Skeleton one-on-one?

How will he challenge?

With the Light Cavalry?

Of course not. Wild King wouldn't take advantage of his opponent. At the diamond level, any mecha can be used to its full potential. In equal conditions, a pilot who can handle scout missions is versatile.

But why would the popular Wild King come to challenge?

The battle announcement attracted not only new players but also high-level players.

Soren was calm, aiming for this effect. He was willing to pay a high appearance fee.

God of War One vs. God of War One, who is stronger?

Soren felt the chances were fifty-fifty. If not for the previous battle, Soren wouldn't have dared to arrange this. Pure melee ability isn't enough for a comprehensive battle, but who knew Skeleton's shooting skills were also excellent. If he was going to play, he might as well go big.

As for the risk?

From the beginning, this plan wasn't safe.

Wild King has been very popular in the high-level region recently. If he maintains this for a while, he will have the right to challenge the strongest throne on Earth.

The appearance fee was just one aspect. If the opponent was too weak, Wild King wouldn't be interested. But after watching Skeleton's battle videos, he was a bit fired up.

Not to mention, just the courage to use a bare mecha was enough to make him want to try.

Scout, a profession that dances on the edge of a knife.

The more dangerous, the more exciting.

He had used the God of War One for a long time to improve his accuracy, but not in the new player area, but in the Bronze division, where his performance was still impressive. Later, he was discovered and stopped playing.

They could be considered peers.

This Skeleton probably had the same training intention. Eliminating such a person would bring great satisfaction.

In the cockpit, Wild King was already excited before the hunt.

A pilot who dares to use a scout-type mecha represents comprehensive skills and can take on any role, balancing offense and defense. Wild King is indeed the brightest new star in the European region, shining brightly at the diamond level.

This battle was undoubtedly highly anticipated.

A player skilled in scout-type mechas would have no problem using the God of War One. Most players who serve as scouts also start with the God of War One.

Pre-battle selection:

Map: Wild West Bullfight

Open terrain, a direct duel, purely technical.

Wild King's God of War One weapon... random.

Skeleton's God of War One weapon... laser gun.

Perhaps because of the shooting class, Wang Zheng recently felt a connection with the laser gun, but Wild King randomly got a titanium knife.

...What's going on?
