Amon just returned after completing another 5-star mission. He was now resting while attending the theory class. He didn't have much time to spend on cultivation this year. He was busy completing missions. Yet, the gap between his academic points and Sima Fang's didn't shrink. It appeared Sima Fang had the same thought as him. She also pulled out all the stops to gain as many academic points as possible.

Even though Amon was pondering the problem, it didn't affect his concentration listening to the lecture. He couldn't think of a solution yet, but it didn't make him anxious. Others who looked his way would see an obedient student intensely absorbing the information from the lecture, not someone burdened by an insoluble problem.
