Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 78 Fortunately I have a backup plan
Leng Zhan ignored Tang Zheng's "reply", hung the long hammer back behind him, and said calmly: "See you in ten days."
After saying that, he bowed to Li Xiaoren and left calmly with a few of his good students.
Tang Zheng also sheathed his sword and put away the blade of his dagger, restoring his image as a handsome young man. If you ignore the details such as his slightly bruised nose, slightly swollen face, and some bloodstains on his chest, he still looks quite dashing and unrestrained.
The other students who were watching saw this and knew that today's incident was basically over. So the students who were originally in three circles inside and three circles outside dispersed in a moment.
Only Tang Zheng and his group of four, as well as Li Xiaoren, who had a yin-yang hairstyle, were left there.
"Tang Zheng, come to the instructor's school to see me this afternoon." After leaving these harsh and cold words, Li Xiaoren also walked away.
Tang Zheng shrugged and took Xiaotang and the others back to the dormitory arranged for them by the academy to rest.
The four freshmen in their batch were all arranged in the same courtyard, each with a room, which was somewhat similar to the courtyard houses in the capital city in their previous life.
Although Tang Zheng didn't plan to stay here at night, he could still go there for a nap at noon.
"Master, this... do you have so many contributions from the academy to meet this challenge?" Xiaotang said worriedly as he walked.
"Of course not." Tang Zheng said confidently.
"That's right, Master, you are just like us. You just reported here today. How could you have the time and means to get contributions to the academy..." Xiaotang found that he seemed to have asked a very stupid question.
This was entirely because after knowing Tang Zheng for so long, he seemed to have everything he needed and was afraid of nothing, which gave her an illusion.
Now, there is finally something that puts Tang Zheng and them on the same starting line. Xiaotang, on the contrary, feels a little uncomfortable.
"Then, if you lose, how are you going to repay such huge contributions to the academy? I'm afraid it will affect your studies in the next few years?" Meng Fenghua frowned slightly.
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "That's a problem. Judging from Leng Zhan's reputation and the fighting ability he just showed, if we fight head-on, the odds of winning or losing are at most fifty-fifty. Hmm... let's put it this way. If I lose, I can just deny the debt. After all, if I lose, I have to pay half, and I also have more than 5,000 contributions from the Academy, which will take me a long time to earn."
Jiang Wuyan, who had been walking quietly not far behind them, could not help but remind Tang Zheng when he heard what he said, "Tang Zheng, this time, the challenge between you and Leng Zhan has been approved by the academy, and there are so many students as witnesses. If you lose, I'm afraid that all your contributions to the academy will be directly transferred to Leng Zhan's name in the future. It's unlikely that you can deny it."
Tang Zheng touched his nose: "Is that so? It seems that it is time to contact those academies that I rejected before. Fortunately, I have a backup. If I lose, I will transfer to another school immediately. In this way, hehe, I don't believe that Yisu Academy can still deduct my contributions to other academies from the cold war..."
Everyone in the group was silent about Tang Zheng's shameless decision. They could only pray secretly that he would not lose this time. Otherwise, as students from the same class, they would probably be talked about behind their backs no matter where they went in the future.
"Look, that's Tang Zheng's classmate who transferred to another school just to avoid paying his debts!"
When everyone thought of this, they lost all mood to take a nap. They returned to their rooms and began to practice silently, so that one day they would not end up in a situation where they had to transfer schools and shirk their responsibilities.
Tang Zheng, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He went back to the house and had a good sleep.
After getting up, he had already taken several precious pills and found that the place where he was injured by the last elbow strike during the fight with Li Xiaoren had healed a little, but it still looked a little bruised and was a little painful to touch.
"Well, it seems that it is necessary to transplant the extravagant Flower King from Wulong Town to the courtyard over at Tianxia Minglu. Otherwise, Li Xiaoren's training is so vigorous every time, and it is very likely that his progress in training will be delayed due to injuries." Tang Zheng stretched and pondered.
It just so happened that Ban Yilou would be transferred to Feishi City in the next two days. If I write a letter now and ask Tangjiabao to ask Ban Yilou to act as a courier again and bring Kao over, it should still be in time.
After Tang Zheng finished this matter, he was originally planning to go with Xiaotang and the others to experience the academy's first afternoon elective class. However, he remembered Li Xiaoren's instructions, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to Xiaotang and the others and go to the Instructor's Academy alone.
When Tang Zheng arrived at the instructor's academy, Li Xiaoren was writing and drawing on a notebook. Tang Zheng took a few glances and it seemed that he was recording his comments on each person's characteristics after the practical assessment with them at noon today.
"Ten days later, how do you plan to win the Cold War?" Li Xiaoren asked directly without even raising his head.
Tang Zheng scratched his head and said bluntly: "This... I haven't thought about it yet."
"You haven't thought it through? How dare you rashly accept his challenge without thinking it through? How dare you bet 5,000 academy contributions without thinking it through? How dare you casually gamble the honor of the freshmen in your group without thinking it through? Reckless! Stupid!" Li Xiaoren scolded him.
Tang Zheng was speechless. He thought to himself, "Fuck, what did you say at that time? If you don't accept it, you're a coward. Now you're saying I'm reckless and stupid! Instructor Li is really good at shifting the blame."
Li Xiaoren cursed a few times, and seeing that Tang Zheng was indifferent, he put down his pen and said, "As my student, failure is not allowed. So, starting from today, you don't have to go to the elective class every afternoon. I want to give you special training!"
Tang Zheng was immediately confused: "Ten days?! I can't do what I love to do for ten consecutive afternoons. How is my life different from being a salted fish?"
"Stop talking nonsense and take a look at this." Li Xiaoren took out two sheets of paper from the one he had been writing on and threw them to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng picked them up and saw that his name was written on the first one.
" Tang Zheng , combat awareness, fair; star power control, superior; martial arts application, average; body movements and footwork, fair; combat style, insidious and cunning..."
Tang Zheng looked at the paper and saw the specific comments about his actual combat, and nodded secretly in his heart.
Li Xiaoren, as the chief instructor of Yisuli Academy, is indeed worthy of his reputation. Although he only fought with Tang Zheng once, his comments on Tang Zheng were still very accurate.
Although Tang Zheng had extensive combat experience and very impressive PK skills in his previous life, that was a game after all. No matter how realistic a virtual game was, there was still a big difference between it and reality. What's more, this was a completely new world where star power and martial arts were king.
Therefore, the reason why Tang Zheng can be considered the top in the Xingyao Continent at present is that he has the bonus of the star-attracting method and has reached his current level of star power control ability after special hard training.
As for the rest, his combat awareness was only okay because he had little knowledge of Xingyao Continent's martial arts. His footwork and body movements were based on his past life and were barely passable.
As for other aspects, regarding the application of martial arts and star power, and his understanding of other warriors, Tang Zheng is still a complete loser.
"Well, the comments are fair, but there's something wrong with the comment on the fighting style. What the hell is cunning and insidious? Is this a criticism or a praise? Why can't you use a more appropriate description like being resourceful and able to make decisions... Instructor, you don't have a high cultural level!" Tang Zheng nodded and said with disdain, then turned over the second piece of paper filled with words.
