Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Chapter 48: Oh No, My Heart Just Skipped A Beat

Lei Zhongyuan and Dong Qianyi looked at each other and revealed their emotions. Lei Zhongyuan felt slightly regretful, while Dong Qianyi was very happy.

Xiang Ning was puzzled. Why are they making those faces? He felt uneasy. Had they figured out his secrets and wanted to examine him? He immediately sprinted away before Dong Qianyi could say anything.

Lei Zhongyuan and Dong Qianyi raised their eyebrows. What was Xiang Ning trying to do? But looking in the direction Xiang Ning had run, he scoffed, Hes still young. While he didnt know why the boy had tried to run away, he could easily capture him back.

Xiang Ning didnt even manage to run fifty meters before he saw a dark figure appear before him. He instinctively threw an uppercut, causing Lei Zhongyuan's eyes to widen in shock. He backstepped and caught Xiang Nings fist that was aiming straight at his crotch.

Are you trying to make me a eunuch? Lei Zhongyuan stared at Xiang Ning, who was sheepishly smiling.

If I said I was doing it on instinct, would you believe it?

Huh.

For the next few minutes, a painful howl could be heard coming from the infirmary.

Boom.

Whack.

Crack.

After three minutes, Xiang Ning was lying down on the floor, completely listless. Just you wait, when I get stronger Ill repay this debt.

Ill wait until youre stronger, then.

Xiang Ning silently recorded the incident in a small book. In a certain year, a certain month, Instructor Lei bullied me. Revenge will be twofold.

Dong Qianyi suddenly said, Based on the fluctuations in his Mental Power, Old Lei, I think he recorded something about taking revenge on you in a small book.

Xiang Ning wanted to punch Dong Qianyi as he stared daggers at him.

No, no, no, thats not true. I didnt do anything like that, Xiang Ning denied. If he were to admit it he would get hit again by Instructor Lei. He wasnt a masochist, so why would he want to get beaten up? He had only done so the previous time to gain experience points, there was no reason to do it now.

Xiang Ning, do you have any interest in scientific research? Dong Qianyi asked.

What? Xiang Ning was perplexed. Why would he ask that?

Dong Qianyi took his glasses down and became serious. Even Lei Zhongyuan got serious and ordered everyone to leave the place.

Within a minute everyone had left the room.

Your Mental Power is rising at an unprecedented speed. Your cells are even capable of absorbing energy that a normal person wouldnt be able to, which will cause your strength to also increase at a similar pace. So Ill be frank with you, my team requires someone like you, Dong Qianyi answered truthfully.

Wait, then why should I learn scientific research? At most Im only increasing my Mental Power faster than anyone. I dont think I have anything else to offer, right? Xiang Ning was oblivious to how everyone was astounded at his mastery of the Mountain-Splitting Slash.

Yes, while scientific inventions require a monstrous amount of Mental Power, they also require insight. You can raise a martial skill to the Awakened tier, and your Mental Power is still increasing. That means you have a lot of talent thats just starting to bloom.

Xiang Ning was silent. Now he knew why they were looking for him. Theres still a lot he doesnt know about the world. But it wasnt his fault. There was some information that only those high on the social ladder would have access to. In short, he knew too little and was inexperienced. It was just like how he was stuck at Physical Tempering stage four while everyone else was mostly at Physical Tempering stage seven and above when he first enrolled. Thus, Xiang Ning didnt know how terrifying he had become when he showed his true strength.

If I decline? Xiang Ning didnt want to be tied down. If he agreed to be a researcher, his life wouldnt be his anymore.

Im not forcing you to agree. I even swear that I wont ask you to do anything. All you need to do is learn from me. But of course, we could give you a lot of cultivation resources Dong Qianyi answered as if he saw through him.

Xiang Ning was tempted by the offer. He thought for a bit, then answered, Can I consider it first?

Of course, Dong Qianyi laughed. It was a much more desirable outcome than outright rejection.

Xiang Ning walked out of the infirmary wearing a white shirt and a complicated look on his face. He took some deep breaths to calm his heart. He knew that if he agreed, his life would tremendously change. But he only had one thought now, and that was to become strong to protect his sister. He had his system and only trusted himself to get stronger.

There were still twenty minutes until the bell rang but instead of heading back to school to meet with Fang Rou, he walked toward the lower secondary section. Following the path to Mingzhe Lake, he arrived at his destination.

Because it was physical education, a lot of students greeted Xiang Ning as he walked past, Good day senior!

Xiang Ning had never encountered something like that, so he merely smiled and waved.

Was that senior Xiang Ning? Hes so cool!

I shouldve asked for his contact info. His personality is so warm.

Yeah. It would feel so safe if I became his girlfriend.

Xiang Ning didnt know that rumors about him were being spread amongst the juniors. In the end, they were still hotblooded teenagers. They grew excited when they heard the words: if youre weak, youll be trampled. His defiant attitude toward the instructor was also something they loved.

A lot of the girls were even jealous of Xiang Xiaoyu when they saw how much lover her brother showed her. Who wouldnt want a strong, yet gentle prince for themselves?

He had become well respected by his juniors. Some of them even wanted his contact details.

He arrived at the building where Xiang Xiaoyu was having her class and sat down on a bench outside; a lot of people kept looking at him. Everyone was charmed by how Xiang Ning smiled all the time. But in actual fact, he wasnt smilingit was just that his lips were naturally curled a bit, giving the impression that he was smiling all the time.

The bell rang and students poured out of the building. Xiang Xiaoyu walked out with another girl beside her, followed by some boys who wanted to talk to them but didnt have the courage to.

Xiaoyu, is that senior Xiang Ning? the girl beside Xiang Xiaoyu asked.

Xiang Ning stood up at the same time a gentle wind slightly blew his hair and his loose shirt.

Oh no, I think my heart just skipped a beat. What should I do, Xiaoyu?

Zixin, my brother already has a girlfriend, Xiang Xiaoyu said to Chen Zixin, who had a cute face and beautiful eyes.

Yeah, you are right. Someone as good as him would naturally have a girlfriend. She trusted Xiang Xiaoyu.

As she said that, no one noticed that Xiang Xiaoyu was secretly smiling.
