Even though Ye Zisu was around, Wang Zheng did not allow her to affect his usual training routine. However, to circulate the first level of his breathing art, it also required one to match it with vigorous physical activity. The body had to be developed alongside the art to ensure its harmonious development.
"Student Ye, Wang Zheng was Dawn Middle School's trump card, correct?" asked Zhang Shan. He had significantly calmed down already and seemingly no longer had a lecherous expression on his face, yet the lust in his eyes was still evident.
Ye Zisu gave him a slight smile. "What do you think?"
"Haha, I want to understand him better. A person who can change Doctor Xiao Fei's opinion must be amazing. How strong can he be?!"
When Zhang Shan spoke of Xiao Fei, his eyes shone with admiration and fervor.
"I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you. In all four years of Middle School, Wang Zheng always struggled and barely maintained a passing grade on his subjects. He was only able to enter Ares College after the final term."
"What?" Zhang Shan lost his calm and shouted, "This cannot be the case!"
"Actually, I also felt the same way you did. This cannot be possible."
Ye Zisu glanced at the slowly-jogging Wang Zheng. She didn't understand it herself. Just how in the world was his brain wired?
"No need to worry; there will be plenty of time for us to get to know him better." Zhang Shan laughed. A new school, a new environment, there would definitely not be a dull moment.
School had started for two days already, but this was the time school clubs were most rabidly searching for new members. The two sides of the school yard were strewn with banners, theatre companies, dancing troupes, and beautiful girls. They were the focus of everyone's attention, but on the other end of the spectrum, there were clubs which no one was interested in. For example, the CT Wargod Club. To stir up emotions and gather people, they had a slogan: "No beauties here, but having brothers is just as good!" It was the only club for men to distinguish themselves.
Other clubs, such as Wushu, MMA, and the boxing club, also managed to attract new members, yet they could not compete with those other clubs.
However, for dear Student Wang, he was completely neglected… This was because he had the Physics Department's insignia on him.
When guys of the Physics Department came, everyone politely declined them.
The CT club was bustling with activity and Wang Zheng was actually extremely interested in it. Yet after thinking about it, it was easier if he could move around as an individual, especially since this would allow him to train more efficiently. Letting it purely become a form of enjoyment would be a waste.
After finishing his breakfast, Wang Zheng left for the school's service system. He had matched up the school's curriculum with the associated material while the Skylink was receiving messages. Some of these books Wang Zheng had already read several years back.
Directly opposite of the Physics Department building was the Mecha Department building. The students from the Mecha Department were engaged in excited conversation. Despite the majority of them being males, the number of students who wanted to be mecha pilots was innumerable.
Regardless if it was a childhood dream to become a hero or if one was duped into doing so, it was difficult to resist the allure of becoming a mech pilot.
Wang Zheng was one that was duped into becoming a mech pilot. Looking at how excited the others were, he himself almost drooled.
The Skylink began to ring… It was a call from Xiao Fei asking Wang Zheng to come over. Today was only the second day and classes would only officially begin tomorrow…
Just as he prepared to leave, there was a shout from the crowd. An extremely handsome youth wearing the Mecha Department's uniform walked out. This was the first time Wang Zheng had met someone who could compare with that chap, Xie Yuxin. In fact, this guy seemed even more perfect; it was hard to find any faults. Could this be the legendary Mr. Perfect?
"Is that Masasi from the Moon?"
"Yes, it should be him. The principal personally invited him! He's the cream of the crop!"
"F**king hell, what is he doing on Earth? He should have just stayed on the Moon! Then the Moon could have the highest standards in the Solar System!"
"Only a ghost would know what he's thinking. Perhaps he's unable to continue living on the Moon and was forced here."
"That scumbag has already been voted to be the most handsome guy of our generation!"
"Tsk, it should be said that that guy is really not that bad."
Masasi had a wry smile on his face and was totally relaxed. It seemed as though he had not heard any of the words the surrounding individuals were saying about him. This was one aspect of him that was better than Xie Yuxin. Xiao Yu, that chap, would only be relaxed when he was with Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu.
The crowd clamored noisily once again. This time, on the opposite end, an individual with a head of flaming red hair approached. He was chewing a piece of gum and arrogance and obstinateness was written all over his face.
His hair was actually not dyed but rather it was the defining feature of a Martian. Carl was quite tall and he exuded a heroic spirit. However, his thick lips caused his sharp temperament to become even more overbearing, so much so that it would repel anyone within a thousand mile radius.
"Masasi, as I previously said, we will meet again!" Carl said provokingly.
Masasi merely gave him a warm smile. "Who would have thought that I would meet you here?"
"Haha, did you actually think that Gu Te, that old bastard, had the skill to convince me? I rushed here just to meet you. However, I would really like to know why you gave up the opportunity to study at Atlanta and came here instead."
Carl licked his lips. He was clearly extremely interested in him, and this time there was no need to be worried. In this school, there would be many chances to spar and it would be impossible to hide.
These two were both well-known individuals in the Solar System in middle school and were naturally well-acquainted.
Masasi smiled wryly. "Principal Gu Te was very sincere."
"Bulls**t. Other than there being beautiful young maidens, there's nothing great about this place. Like those historical sights, even if they were levelled, it wouldn't make a difference!"
In the Solar System's middle school student ranking, Masasi had consistently suppressed Carl. He would never believe that this proud and arrogant individual would be swayed by someone's sincerity to come to this god-forsaken place.
Masasi continued to smile and did not pay any attention to Carl as he said, "Earth has Earth's unique points. The new school term has started; let us mutually improve on our weaknesses." At this point in time, the Skylink had finished its download.
Carl wrenched open Masasi's hand. "The moment I beat you in a battle will be the moment I leave this damned place."
He held no regard for the fury that the people surrounding them had towards him. He was full of unadorned hatred, yet he had failed to realise that this was Earth and not Mars.
The signature wildness and ferocity of the Martians could clearly be seen emanating from Carl's body.
"Young one, you must be Carl. Don't be so ferocious; Ares College is Earth's number one academy. In the entire Solar System, there are countless academies. If not for the fact that you're a freshman, I would have knocked you down long ago."
A third year Mecha Department student who had been previously restraining himself stood up with unbridled aggression.
Carl's face turned into a sneer. "Are Earthlings only good at talking? Should I say that the Earth's soldiers are only adept at talking?"
"F**k you!"
The Mecha Department's student prefect could no longer restrain himself. He threw a punch at Carl which landed squarely on the side of his face.
Carl rubbed his cheek. "Brother, you have yet to finish drinking your mother's breast milk."
A kick smashed across and with a bang, the student who was kicked flew across the field, landed five meters away, and crumpled in a heap on the floor.
"Too weak. This place is just full of weaklings. Masasi, what do you think you can learn from here?"
They were in the main courtyard of Ares College and this was a provocation to every individual here! A group of people moved to surround Carl.
"What, do you want to gang up on me? Rubbish like you, no matter how many come at me, it won't make a difference."
In a brief moment, five or six individuals had been knocked down. They were definitely not heavyweights. That Carl was like a ball of unbridled wrath. It was said that the Martian military academies fostered a barbaric culture and style as their foundation.
Was it really necessary to use it at a military school?
Masasi did not lift a finger but merely watched silently from the side. A trace of disappointment could be seen in his eyes. He knew that the Earth's standards had deteriorated significantly in these last few years, but even he did not expect that the standards had fallen to such an extent.
The students here were too comfortable; they did not seek to improve themselves.
Bang
Carl's hand was blocked by someone. Xie Yuxin had stopped him and then hit him with an icy glare. "Carl, we are not on Mars. Don't push it."
"Haha, who might this be? Is this not Xie Yuxin? I thought that you had gone to the Aslan Empire. Excellent, things are getting interesting. Today, for your sake, I will not push the matter," Carl shot back, then he separated from Xie Yuxin, and adjusted his uniform. "Within the year, I will beat the two of you and then leave this s**t hole!"
The Aslan Empire possessed the best military academies in the Milky Way Galaxy and represented the highest of standards. For individuals like Carl, Masasi, and Xie Yuxin, they all possessed the ability to enter those schools.
However, the Aslan Empire's military academies were not only difficult to enter, but it was difficult to retain a spot. In these few years, the number of students from the Solar System that were expelled were more than a few. They were the best of the Solar System, but when they returned, they were completely devoid of spirit. They refused to speak of the experiences there.
Carl also wanted to go there, but at the very least he had to beat all of his rivals in the Solar System before he had the confidence to be there.
Xie Yuxin did not bother with Carl; that person had a domineering and haughty personality. When he turned around and saw Wang Zheng, he was extremely happy. At this point in time, Carl suddenly lashed out with a kick towards Xie Yuxin.
The crowd roared in displeasure. Who would have expected someone as famous as Carl to launch a sneak attack?
Xie Yuxin did not expect it either, so he retreated on instinct. However, as the second kick approached him, Xie Yuxin managed to block it, but his body lost balance and he flew backwards. Carl did not relent and followed behind with two large steps, then he launched a vicious shoulder tackle at Xie Yuxin.
Fighting on Mars was commonplace. There could never be too much deception in war; this was Mars' tradition.
A shadow appeared on the court and grabbed Xie Yuxin while simultaneously receiving Carl's ferocious shoulder tackle.
"Fellow classmates, we might all be angry, but we will have plenty of opportunities to exchange pointers in future," Wang Zheng said as his left hand grasped Carl's right shoulder tightly.
Carl tried to exert strength, but he realized that his opponent did not budge even a single inch. By twisting his right shoulder, he managed to escape from his opponent's grip.
He looked at Wang Zheng with interest as he sized him up… Physics Department, huh…
Xie Yuxin grabbed Wang Zheng. "Let's go. This guy is no more than a rabid dog."
Xie Yuxin was not easily provoked and thus he was suited to join the Officer's Department.
"Actually, I think that this place has become quite interesting," said Wang Zheng as they walked off. He did not pay much heed to the sneak attack; furthermore, prior to that, Carl was ganged up on by several individuals. Even if their strength was insufficient, one could not use that as an excuse.
"Carl is this generation's most well-known individual from Mars. The fact that he and Masasi chose to come to Ares College was quite strange. In fact, Grandpa called on many people to join us, but in the end only those two chose to accept. To be frank, Grandpa did not expect anyone to accept," said Xie Yuxin.
Wrestling was not his strong suit, and even if he did fight, he was not Carl's match. Furthermore, he could not afford to offend him, because despite Ares College being excellent on Earth, compared to the rest of the academies in the Milky Way Galaxy, its standards had dropped and were still dropping. Being able to attract Carl and Masasi was a mystery and he did not want to fight earnestly. If he had lost, the situation would not have concluded there.
"If I can beat that chap, does that mean I can enter the Mecha Department?" asked Wang Zheng as his eyes glittered with a golden light.
"… Well, if you can perform exceptionally during military training, I can raise this situation to my Grandpa. However, that guy only used 50% of his power just now; people from Mars are just freaks." Xie Yuxin nodded.
