Next, Zu An spent the remaining anger points, but did not draw anything new. Apart from the "Thanks for Participating" and the Vitality Fruits, there was nothing else.

In the end, he drew a total of 55 Vitality Fruits, a bottle of Brother Spring, and a Luck Pill. After mastering the technique, it was easy to see the pattern. It seemed that the probability of winning a Vitality Fruit was about one in ten. It seemed that he had really been unlucky last time.

Next, he quietly swallowed the Vitality Fruits one by one, watching the golden substance in the first array in his muscles slowly fill up. After eating 55, the first array was full, and the second array also had a bit of golden substance.

"It seems it really is the Fibonacci sequence," Zu An sighed. According to the Fibonacci sequence, the previous number was 34, so this number should be 55, which was now confirmed.

As for the bit of extra golden substance in the second array, it was probably converted from the injury he sustained when he accidentally hit the wall during his "Big Wind" experiment.

According to the Fibonacci sequence, the next array would require at least 89,000 anger points. What a pain, why is it so easy for others to cultivate, but so difficult for me to advance even a small step?

But then he thought, these people have spent a huge amount of resources and trained day and night from a young age to reach this level. In just a few days, I have caught up to their average level, so I shouldn't really complain.

After some time, he roughly understood that among all the students in the academy, those who reached the Fifth Rank were absolute geniuses, and would be considered geniuses even on a national scale. There were only a few such people in the entire school. He knew that his "cheap" wife and Pei Mian were Fifth Rank, and that Yuan Wendong had just broken through to Fifth Rank today.

Next, those who reached the Fourth Rank were the top students in the school, and their numbers were not too many. These people, whether in terms of talent or family resources, were not lacking.

Most students in the Earth and Mystic classes were Third Rank, and some had not even reached Third Rank.

Of course, the largest group was the Yellow class, where Second Rank was enough to be considered a king or a tyrant.

In this way, Zu An's current strength could be considered average in the entire school. Thinking about this, he felt much better.

The afternoon passed in such boring classes and lotteries. After class, a group of people rushed to the school gate, each returning to their own home and mother, clearly indicating that attending such classes was a great torment.

Even Wei Suo was no exception: "Boss, see you tomorrow~" and with that, he disappeared.

Seeing this scene, it reminded him of the days when the bell rang and a group of people rushed to get food after class. It was quite nostalgic.

Zu An was leisurely packing up his things, feeling the new changes in his body after the upgrade. Now he should have the strength of about 143 people. He wondered if he could punch an elephant to death in his previous life.

With such great strength, how terrifying must the strength of Eighth and Ninth Rank, or even Grandmaster, be?

This world is truly terrifying. If one's cultivation is low and they date a woman of a higher rank, they might be easily killed during intimacy...

If that were to happen, he would be ashamed to face anyone in the cycle of rebirth.

"Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law~"

Zu An looked up and saw Chu Huanzhao excitedly waving at him from outside the classroom, bouncing around in a rather girlish manner, unlike her usual tomboyish appearance.

"What is it?" He asked cautiously after going out, feeling a bit guilty after his wild thoughts.

"Going home together, what else?" Chu Huanzhao was immediately dissatisfied, "Hey, what's your attitude? I came to find you right after class."

"Oh, it's just going home." Zu An sighed in relief, thinking she might have some sinister plan to torment him.

"It's all because you didn't come to class yesterday, making me run a trip in vain," Chu Huanzhao huffed, "Today I finally caught you. I promised my mother to take good care of you."

Zu An couldn't help but say, "Didn't your mother send Hong Xingying to watch over me? Where is he? I need to settle this with him today."

Chu Huanzhao wrinkled her nose, "That guy chose to live on campus, probably to avoid punishment at home, so he didn't dare to come back."

"Does this school have a boarding system?" Zu An was surprised, it seemed similar to his previous life.

"Of course," Chu Huanzhao explained, "Mingyue Academy is the best school in the surrounding counties. Many students from nearby areas come here. We who live in Mingyue City can go home every day, but they don't have that option, so they live on campus. Look, the dormitories are over there."

As she spoke, she pointed to the west. Zu An looked up and saw some buildings faintly visible in the distance among the trees.

"I see." Zu An thought, maybe he should find an opportunity to cause some trouble in the dormitories and harvest a large amount of anger points.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a wave of anger points coming from the background, though each was not much, but the number was significant.

"What's going on?"

He looked up and saw that many people around him were looking at him with hostile eyes. He then realized that he and Chu Huanzhao were walking side by side on the tree-lined street, looking quite like a couple.

What's this childhood sweethearts feeling? Zu An was a bit stunned, but quickly shook his head to dispel some inappropriate thoughts, focusing on earning anger points.

"Little niece, hold my hand." Zu An extended his left hand.

Chu Huanzhao was confused, "Why?"

"We are family, holding hands shows that our family is harmonious, doesn't it?" Zu An said seriously.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You just want to take advantage of me." Chu Huanzhao was so angry that she immediately whipped him with the Wailing Whip.

"Hey, if you don't want to hold hands, you don't have to, but there's no need to use the whip!" Zu An dodged and shouted in panic.

Chu Huanzhao, however, continued to chase after him, "I'll beat you, you pervert."

The onlookers felt a sense of pleasure, thinking, "You deserve it for being a kept man. Remember, rich women's tempers are not easy to handle."

The two continued to play and fight until they reached the school gate. It wasn't because Chu Huanzhao had a change of heart, but because "Bright Peak" Lu De was standing there, creating a sense of oppression that made everyone, including Chu Huanzhao, refrain from making noise.

She stuck out her tongue, put away the whip, and pulled Zu An's sleeve, "Hmph, no more nonsense. We'll settle this when we get home."

Lu De's eagle-like gaze swept over the crowd, as if to suppress any troublemakers. However, when his gaze fell on the hands of the two, it paused.

What's going on with the Chu family? Are they really planning to have the sisters share a husband?

Although such things were not uncommon in this world, the men involved were usually extremely outstanding, both in terms of family background and personal ability. But what merit did this well-known weakling in the city have?

Not to mention both sisters, even the second daughter of the Chu family, who was not very capable, was far beyond this guy's match.

Zu An, of course, had no idea that he had caught Lu De's attention. As soon as he left the school gate, Cheng Shoubing, who had been waiting at the gate, waved excitedly, "Son-in-law, Son-in-law~"

"Have you been waiting here all this time?" Zu An felt a bit guilty, as Cheng Shoubing had copied books all night and then waited here all day.

"No, no, I went back to sleep and came back in the afternoon. Thank you, Son-in-law." Cheng Shoubing's eyes were almost curved with a smile, "Oh, Miss, you're here too."

Chu Huanzhao hummed, and her attendant brought a fine horse for her. Even though Zu An knew nothing about horses, he could tell this was a truly excellent steed.

"Hey, where's your horse?" Chu Huanzhao looked around, a bit puzzled.

Zu An was a bit embarrassed, but Cheng Shoubing honestly said, "We walked here this morning."

Chu Huanzhao frowned, "Why didn't the people at the mansion give you a horse?"

Cheng Shoubing inwardly cursed, "Why don't you know this? At the same time, he was surprised that it seemed the Son-in-law and the Second Miss had a good relationship.

Chu Huanzhao thought for a moment and handed the reins to the servant, then said to Zu An, "I'll walk with you. I want to stretch my legs anyway."

Zu An said, "Actually, I don't mind sharing a horse with you."

Cheng Shoubing's face changed drastically, too late to stop it. He thought, "Oh no, the Second Miss has a bad temper, the Son-in-law is going to get whipped."

"Get lost!" To his surprise, Chu Huanzhao only shouted, with no intention of hitting him.

Cheng Shoubing blinked, "Am I dreaming? Something feels off."

At this moment, a mocking voice came, "Hey, you finally came out."

Zu An turned around and saw a man with a scar on his face leaning against a tree, none other than Plum Thirteen.

Zu An said, "Has no one ever told you that your smile is a bit crooked?"

Anger points from Plum Thirteen +178!

Plum Thirteen's smile froze, and he coldly said, "You're just being smart with your words. I'm here to remind you that the day to pay back the money is getting closer. If you can't pay by then, I'll cut off your hands."

"You owe him money?" Chu Huanzhao was surprised, her eyes wide.

Zu An nodded, cursing the previous owner in his heart.

Chu Huanzhao thought for a moment and took out a silver purse, "How much does he owe you? I'll pay it for him."

Plum Thirteen was taken aback, "Is this weakling doing so well now that a beautiful girl is willing to pay his debts?"

He instinctively replied, "One thousand taels of silver!"

Chu Huanzhao gasped, immediately put the purse back in her pocket, and took a step back, "Forget I said that."

Zu An couldn't help but feel disdain. This girl always acts tough but can't come up with the money, just like in the cafeteria.
