Chapter 48

Next, Zu An spent the remaining anger points, but did not draw anything new, except for the Energy Fruits and a thank you for participating.

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

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

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

As for the bit of extra golden substance in the second array, it must have been converted from the injuries he sustained when he accidentally hit the wall while experimenting with the "Great Wind."

Following the Fibonacci sequence, the next array would require at least 89,000 anger points. What a pain. Why was it so easy for others to cultivate, while he found it so difficult to advance even a small step?

But then he thought, those people had spent their entire lives consuming vast resources and practicing diligently day and night to reach their current level. He had caught up to their average level in just a few days, so he really had no reason to complain.

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

Next, those at the Fourth Rank were the top students in the school, and their numbers were not large. These people, whether in terms of talent or family resources, were all excellent.

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

Of course, the largest group was the Yellow class, where even reaching the Second Rank was considered a big deal.

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

The afternoon passed in such boring classes and the lottery. After class, a group of people rushed to the school gate, each returning to their own home, clearly finding such classes 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 everyone 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 strength, how terrifying must the strength of Eighth and Ninth Rank cultivators, or even Masters, be?

This world was truly terrifying. If one's cultivation was low and they dated a woman of a higher level, they might be killed by her during intimacy...

If he died like that, he would be too ashamed to face anyone in the cycle of rebirth.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law~"

Zu An looked up and saw Chu Huanzhao excitedly waving at him from outside the classroom, her playful and delicate demeanor quite different from her usual tomboyish appearance.

"What do you want?" he asked cautiously after going out, feeling a bit guilty from his recent 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, going home, I see." Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she might have some other mischief in mind.

"It's all because you didn't come to class yesterday, making me run a trip for nothing," 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 accounts with him today."

Chu Huanzhao wrinkled her nose: "That guy chose to board at the school, probably to avoid punishment at home, so he didn't come back."

"Does this school have boarding students?" Zu An was surprised, thinking it was similar to his previous life.

"Of course," Chu Huanzhao explained. "Mingyue Academy is the best school in the surrounding counties, and 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 stay at the school. Look, the dormitories are over there."

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

"I see." Zu An thought about it and wondered if he should cause some trouble at the dormitories to harvest a lot of anger points.

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

"What's going on?"

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

What was this childhood sweethearts vibe? Zu An was a bit stunned but quickly shook his head to clear his mind, focusing on earning anger points.

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

Chu Huanzhao was confused: "Why?"

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

"Do you think I'm an idiot? 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 you don't need to use the whip!" Zu An dodged and shouted in panic.

Chu Huanzhao pursued him relentlessly: "I'll beat you, you pervert."

The onlookers felt a sense of pleasure, thinking, "You deserve it for being a freeloader. Rich women's tempers aren't easy to handle."

The two of them played and fought all the way to the school gate, not because Chu Huanzhao had a change of heart, but because "Bright Peak" Lu De was standing there. His presence created a sense of oppression, and no one dared to make a noise, including Chu Huanzhao.

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

Lu De's eagle-like gaze swept over the crowd, as if to suppress any troublemakers, but when his eyes fell on their intertwined hands, he paused.

What was going on with the Chu family? Were they really planning to have the sisters share a husband?

While such arrangements were not uncommon in this world, they usually involved an exceptionally outstanding man, both in terms of family background and personal ability. But what did this notorious weakling in the city have to offer?

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

Zu An, of course, had no idea he was being watched by Lu De. As he left the school gate, Cheng Shoubing, who had been waiting there, 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 there all day.

"No, no, I slept at home and came in the afternoon. Thank you for your concern, son-in-law." Cheng Shoubing smiled, his eyes nearly squinting. "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 an excellent steed, thinking it was a true treasure.

"Oh, where's your horse?" Chu Huanzhao looked around, 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 anything?" At the same time, he was surprised that the son-in-law seemed to have a good relationship with the second daughter.

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 ride with you."

Cheng Shoubing's face changed, too late to stop it, thinking, "Oh no, the second daughter has a bad temper, the son-in-law is going to get whipped."

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

Cheng Shoubing blinked, wondering if he was dreaming. Something felt off.

At that 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 Mei Hua Shisan.

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

Anger points from Mei Hua Shisan +178!

Mei Hua Shisan's smile froze, and he coldly said, "You can talk big, but I'm here to remind you that the day to pay back the money is getting closer. If you can't pay, 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 mind.

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

Mei Hua Shisan was stunned. Was this weakling doing so well now that such a beautiful girl was willing to pay his debts?

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

Chu Huanzhao gasped, stuffed the purse back into her pocket, and took a step back: "Forget I said that."

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