"Whoosh—"
Zhu Fei swiftly rose from the wooden barrel, feeling the spiritual power and cultivation he had regained since his rebirth. He couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.
For he had suddenly discovered that, with his own Five Elements bodily constitution as the foundation and the Five Elements Creation and Transformation Skill as his cultivation mental method, his breakthrough in cultivation was actually five times greater in terms of spiritual power's purity and strength than that of a normal cultivator!
He only needed to slightly activate his mental method, and Zhu Fei could clearly feel it.
The green, red, yellow, white, and black spiritual powers of the Five Elements were entwined and evolving within his body. In the end, they actually converged into five-colored specks of light and fused into the Mud Pill Palace between his eyebrows.
That is to say, as long as he, Zhu Fei, cultivated in the future, both his cultivation speed and strength would be five times higher than that of a normal cultivator!
Such a surprise was truly shocking for Zhu Fei.
He had never expected that his rebirth in this life would bring him such a heaven-defying opportunity.
And this kind of opportunity had only just begun to reveal the tip of the iceberg.
Zhu Fei believed that, as he continued to cultivate and improve his cultivation in the future, this opportunity would definitely bring him more surprises.
As a cultivator who had reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage in his previous life, Zhu Fei was naturally very clear about his own physical constitution and the state of his cultivation mental method.
He knew that his current level of cultivation was still low, and some of the things that existed couldn't be fully perceived by him yet.
"Five Elements bodily constitution, Five Elements Creation and Transformation Skill, haha... hahaha... hahahaha...!"
Having understood all this, Zhu Fei's mood at this moment could no longer be restrained, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing, Zhu Fei's excitement finally settled down.
He looked at the wooden barrel and noticed that the Body Refining Medicine Liquid inside, which was previously verdant, had now completely turned into a barrel of black water.
There was no need to ask. This black water was clearly caused by the impurities expelled from Zhu Fei's body after his Body Refining and the breakthrough in his cultivation.
Immediately, Zhu Fei grabbed the wooden barrel and poured the black water into the bathroom next to him, then cleaned up the living room and kitchen.
After doing all this, Zhu Fei returned to his own room and began to slowly consolidate his current cultivation level.
...
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Today, Zhu Fei did not go to the library again, but directly went to his class, Senior Three Class One.
As soon as he walked into the classroom, Zhu Fei immediately saw Tang Mengyun sitting in the fourth seat of the third row.
At the moment she was holding an English textbook, seemingly reciting English words, while a girl with a ponytail sat beside her.
According to his memory, Zhu Fei knew that this girl was named Pan Tingting and was Tang Mengyun's good friend.
However, Pan Tingting's complexion didn't seem very good at the moment. When she raised her eyes and saw Zhu Fei coming in, she actually glared at him with discontent.
This made Zhu Fei feel somewhat baffled, thinking, "What's wrong with this girl? Why the sour face for no reason?"
"Zhu Fei!"
At this moment, Tang Mengyun happened to put down her textbook and also saw Zhu Fei, and immediately, she called out to him with a bit of surprise.
Hearing Tang Mengyun calling him, Zhu Fei no longer pondered about Pan Tingting's matter and turned his head with a smile, nodding slightly to her.
Just as Zhu Fei was about to head to his own seat,
Tang Mengyun suddenly stood up and called out to Zhu Fei again, "Zhu Fei, come here for a second, I have something to give you."
At this, most of the students in the class turned their gaze to Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun.
They could never have imagined that the usually indifferent Tang Mengyun would take the initiative to call out to a boy, and this boy was the previously most disdained Zhu Fei.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the classroom became somewhat boisterous.
Among them, a short and sleazy-looking student immediately ran out of the classroom.
It looked as if he was going to report what was happening here to someone.
Zhu Fei paid no attention to the other people's gazes and just bitterly smiled to himself, then stepped over to Tang Mengyun's seat and asked, "Mengyun, did you need me for something?"
Tang Mengyun also felt that there was something improper in her words just now. Hearing his question, her cheeks turned a faint red, and then she nodded slightly.
She then took out a notebook from her drawer and handed it to Zhu Fei, saying, "Zhu Fei, this is my study notebook. Take it and have a look. I believe it should help improve your academic performance in the future."
Looking at the notebook Tang Mengyun handed over, Zhu Fei couldn't help but smile wryly again.
To tell the truth, if he wanted to improve his academic performance now, he really didn't need such a thing.
But he also knew that this was Tang Mengyun's kindness to him, so he did not refuse.
Taking the notebook, Zhu Fei looked at Tang Mengyun and then said with a smile, "Okay, then thank you."
"Hmph! A toad lusting after swan meat."
Who would have known, as soon as Zhu Fei finished speaking, Pan Tingting, who was sitting next to Tang Mengyun, suddenly blurted out such a sentence.
In an instant, Zhu Fei's face darkened and Tang Mengyun's countenance also shifted slightly.
Before Zhu Fei could speak, Tang Mengyun had already taken the lead, urgently saying to Pan Tingting, "Tingting, what are you talking about? I... I just wanted to help Zhu Fei, is there anything wrong with that?"
Seeing Tang Mengyun so eager to speak up for Zhu Fei, Pan Tingting's eyes flashed with surprise.
But she immediately seemed to think of something and didn't respond to Tang Mengyun right away. Instead, she turned to look at Zhu Fei, her face revealing a cold, mocking smile.
"Zhu Fei, what's this? Do you think you can win over our 'school beauty goddess' this way? Isn't that a bit too naive?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Watching Pan Tingting's amused expression, Zhu Fei really found this woman unreasonable, and her words even more nonsensical.
Since when did he say he wanted to pursue Tang Mengyun?
Even if he really wanted to, it seemed to have nothing to do with her, did it?
Little did he know, Pan Tingting had no intention of letting Zhu Fei off the hook so easily when she heard his previous words. The playful look on her face intensified.
"Hmph! I knew you weren't reliable. Let me tell you the truth, the person who just ran out is actually one of Guo Shaonjun's underlings. Now, Guo Shaonjun knows about your intention to pursue Tang Mengyun and he's having people search the whole school for you."
"You'd better watch out for yourself later."
"What? Guo Shaonjun is looking for trouble with Zhu Fei? How come I don't know about this?"
Pan Tingting's words had hardly landed before Tang Mengyun hurriedly asked.
At this moment, her face had already turned quite unsightly. She had never expected that after resolving the issue with Sun Hao yesterday, Guo Shaonjun would pop up today.
Tang Mengyun knew something about Guo Shaonjun's character and that he had always been pursuing her. He had even publicly claimed that if any boy dared to get close to her, he would make that boy suffer.
Originally, Tang Mengyun hadn't taken what Guo Shaonjun had done to heart.
After all, she didn't like Guo Shaonjun in the slightest, so as long as he didn't bother her, whatever he did was his own business.
But now things were different. Guo Shaonjun was actually planning to trouble Zhu Fei, and she couldn't ignore that.
"Sigh, Mengyun, what's gotten into you? This isn't like you at all."
Seeing Tang Mengyun's face growing worse, Pan Tingting also grew anxious and hastily asked her.
"Tingting, I know you don't think much of Zhu Fei, but tell me honestly, does Guo Shaonjun's action have anything to do with you?"
Tang Mengyun was staring at Pan Tingting, her tone slightly angry as she spoke.
Pan Tingting slapped her forehead and said with a bitter smile, "That's it, I guess you really have fallen for Zhu Fei."
"Pan Tingting!"
Seeing Pan Tingting still speaking this way at such a time, Tang Mengyun finally grew truly angry and couldn't help but yell at her.
"Alright, alright, I won't speak any more, happy now?"
Pan Tingting shook her head, then said, "Mengyun, tell me, didn't you and Zhu Fei go on a date for a meal yesterday?"
Pausing, Pan Tingting continued, "Maybe you two don't know, but when you left the school gate with Zhu Fei yesterday, you were seen by Guo Shaonjun's people. That's why he's come to trouble Zhu Fei today, and this really has nothing to do with me, Mengyun."
After hearing Pan Tingting's explanation, Tang Mengyun felt relieved.
After all, Pan Tingting was her good friend. If she had gone behind her back to target Zhu Fei, it would have been greatly disappointing for her.
But the very next second, Tang Mengyun's heart tensed up again.
She knew very well how arrogant Guo Shaonjun was and, given his notable background, if he truly intended to trouble Zhu Fei, wouldn't Zhu Fei be at a disadvantage?
With this thought, Tang Mengyun instinctively looked up and met Zhu Fei's gaze.
Zhu Fei himself was feeling somewhat helpless.
He didn't expect that by merely interacting with Tang Mengyun on occasion, he'd managed to offend someone out of the blue so inexplicably—it was truly an undeserved calamity.
However, he had now come to understand what Sun Hao had told him about Guo Shaonjun the day before.
Having realized this, Zhu Fei stopped dwelling on it.
Although he disliked trouble, it didn't mean he was afraid of it.
Since this Guo Shaonjun character really wanted to make a fuss, let him come. He, Zhu Fei, was not someone who was afraid of trouble.
Moreover, he had now advanced to Qi Refinement First Level.
For a fellow who becomes jealous over a girl, Zhu Fei really didn't take him seriously.
With that thought, Zhu Fei smiled at Tang Mengyun and reassured her, "Don't worry, if this Guo Shaonjun doesn't come for me, that's fine. But if he really does, nothing will happen to me."
"Bang—"
"Who here is Zhu Fei? Get the hell out to face me now!"
Just as Zhu Fei's words fell, the door to Class 1 of the senior third year was suddenly kicked open.
Accompanying this was an extremely arrogant and haughty voice.
