Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 81 - Fading Away

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Fading Away

The first evening self-study period was chemistry class, and Guo Ran went over the chemistry test.

The chemistry test for the first year of high school wasn’t difficult; what it really tested was memory. Jiang Ning checked his answers, and he had gotten everything correct on his test.

After finishing the lesson, Guo Ran called Jiang Ning to her office.

By the time Jiang Ning returned to class, he had an extra large bag of snacks in his hands.

Ma Shicheng witnessed this, how Jiang Ning went to the office and came back holding snacks.

At first, he was stunned, then he demanded, “What kind of relationship do you have with the chemistry teacher?”

Jiang Ning casually lifted the bag of snacks and nonchalantly replied,

“I’m her student, the class representative she personally appointed.”

Ma Shicheng clutched his chest, overwhelmed with heartache. This was definitely more than just a class representative!

Jiang Ning took out a few packets of snacks and handed them to Geng Lu at the desk in front:

“I held you up for a bit, so I won’t invite you out to eat. Take some snacks instead.”

Of course, Ma Shicheng also received two packets.

During the second class, Shan Qingrong entered the classroom followed by a boy carrying a backpack.

Ma Shicheng, who had opened half of his snacks, whispered when he saw the person,

“Isn’t that Wu Xiaoqi? The guy from Class 10? Why has he come to our class?”

Ma Shicheng couldn’t understand it.

Jiang Ning said, “Let’s wait and see.”

Meanwhile, some students in the class recognized Wu Xiaoqi and felt a bit strange about it. Most of them had quite a dislike for someone like Wu Xiaoqi.

Including Wang Yong, who sat in the front row and was well-informed. Naturally, he had heard about Wu Xiaoqi. Lin Zida and others regarded Wu Xiaoqi as a madman.

Yes, a madman.

Regarding family backgrounds, they weren’t afraid of Wu Xiaoqi, but Wu Xiaoqi was so unpredictable that one simply couldn’t treat him by normal standards.

Beating fellow students on the head with steel bars without knowing his own strength, he could potentially severely injure someone, or even worse.

“This is Wu Xiaoqi from Class 10, he is transferring to our class,” Shan Qingrong began to explain.

The students below reacted indifferently, none of them clapped to welcome him.

Shan Qingrong understood, he actually didn’t want to take Wu Xiaoqi in; leaving such a troublemaker in the class was a liability. If one day a disaster struck, it would be his responsibility.

Class 8 wasn’t a dumping ground for every kind of student.

But the world wasn’t black and white. In his position, there were things he couldn’t refuse, nor was he allowed to.

He didn’t have the abilities of the English teacher Chen Haiyang.

Although Chen Haiyang was balding, his qualifications and teaching level were highly sought after by Yu Zhou Second Middle School.

If Chen Haiyang were the homeroom teacher of Class 8, the school administration certainly wouldn’t dare to forcibly transfer Wu Xiaoqi there.

Chen Haiyang had even berated the grade director without hesitation; just last time during a school meeting, if it weren’t for the vice principal intervening, Chen Haiyang nearly got into a fight with the grade director.

Shan Qingrong looked at the young faces below, full of vigor, and sighed inwardly—how wonderful youth was.

“Wu Xiaoqi, there’s an empty desk at the back, and there’s a stool in the corner. Sit there for now,” Shan Qingrong instructed.

Having heard that, Wu Xiaoqi headed to the last row with his backpack, placing his things on the desk.

There were four desks in a row in the classroom, eight seats in total. The two desks in the middle were pushed together, so effectively four people sat side by side.

Wu Xiaoqi took his seat beside Dan Kaiquan.

Dan Kaiquan cursed inwardly; having previously heard about Wu Xiaoqi’s deeds, his impression of Wu Xiaoqi was that he was a nutcase similar to Song Sheng.

He couldn’t get away fast enough, and now the guy was sitting right next to him.

After Shan Qingrong left the classroom, Ma Shicheng ate an almond:

“A transfer student arrived in Class 1 next door, I heard she’s extremely beautiful.”

Geng Lu turned around and asked, “How beautiful? As beautiful as Bai Yuxia?”

For many girls in Class 8, Bai Yuxia was considered the most beautiful girl.

Of course, if potential were calculated, Xue Yuantong would undoubtedly take the lead, with his eyes and nose being exceptionally delicate.

However, Xue Yuantong’s presence wasn’t strong, and coupled with his good relationship with Jiang Ning, he was rarely brought up for discussion.

Ma Shicheng said, “It’s said that he’s better looking than Bai Yuxia.”

Geng Lu was somewhat surprised by the answer and asked,

“It’s odd for someone to transfer to Fourth Middle School at this time.”

Ma Shicheng: “It’s said he registered at the start of the school year, but due to family issues, he hasn’t come until now.”

“Suddenly, I thought of Song Sheng. After he left, there were only 51 people, but now another one has arrived, making a full set,” Ma Shicheng said with a chuckle.

Jiang Ning didn’t join in on their conversation and was instead silently pondering.

Ever since Xue Yuantong had proved that mathematical formula which combined pharmaceutical components with Spiritual Power, Jiang Ning had created a brand new spell based on the formula, which he named “Yuan Yi Skill.”

The function of the “Yuan Yi Skill” was to take the ingredients of the Evergreen Liquid, use Spiritual Power for Yuan restoration to make the part involving medicinal herbs concealed, preventing outward manifestation, leaving only the non-medicinal parts visible.

He had used “Yuan Yi Skill” to conceal the medicinal components within the Evergreen Liquid, ensuring no testing agency would be able to detect them.

Jiang Ning sent a message to Shao Shuangshuang, informing her that the issue was resolved and asking her to revoke the medical certification and take the cosmetic route.

At the same time, Jiang Ning had refined a new batch of Evergreen Liquid, a total of one hundred bottles, which he handed over to Shao Shuangshuang.

This batch of Evergreen Liquid, treated with “Yuan Yi Skill,” would serve as the standard for all Evergreen Liquid sold externally in the future, only after being processed by the “Yuan Yi Skill.”

On the other hand, the Spirit Soul of the big wolf dog, having been nurtured by Jiang Ning and assisted by Soul Suppressing Fragrance, had been transformed into pure Spirit Soul, ready for imprinting magic.

Jiang Ning planned to start setting up an Array for extracting ingredients from Evergreen Liquid.

He temporarily chose the kitchen of the rental house as the location for the Array.

The kitchen was a decent size, and since he usually ate at Xue Yuantong’s house, it was a good use of the otherwise idle kitchen.

…

Time slipped by day by day, and the monthly exam was gradually approaching, with the atmosphere in the first year of high school becoming increasingly tense.

During breaks, you could hardly see students from the neighboring class 1 stepping out; they were all engrossed in reading and doing problems.

The regular classes were a bit more relaxed, but even there, students like Dong Qingfeng, Chen Qian, and Wang Yong were tackling stacks of exam papers and often gathered to discuss questions, with the occasional sounds of debates emanating from the class.

This provoked disdain from the students in the back rows.

People like Shan Kaiquan would often complain privately:

“They act like such good students, why don’t they go to class 1?”

However, whenever Bai Yuxia got involved in discussions, Shan Kaiquan stopped complaining and thought to himself:

“She’s so beautiful and so hardworking. I have great taste. If I dated Bai Yuxia, she could even help me with problems in the future.”

The study atmosphere can influence people. Seeing others working hard while you’re slacking off, you’d start feeling guilty, as if you’re wasting time.

Although Shan Kaiquan often despised the students in the front row, he still put down his phone and picked up his textbook, sometimes even engaging in heated debates with Guo Kunnan over problems.

Both were adamant that their solution was right, leading to endless quarrels.

Eventually, Shan Kaiquan turned to Bai Yuxia for help with a problem, only to find out that both of them were wrong.

…

The day before the monthly exam, a light rain started drizzling outside the classroom.

“Jiang Ning, could you help me with this chemistry question?” Geng Lu asked for assistance.

Ever since she had asked Jiang Ning a question before and he easily answered it, she would always come to him with difficult chemistry questions.

After explaining the problem to her, Jiang Ning looked around the entire classroom.

Huang Zhongfei was studying, Wang Longlong was studying, and Hu Jun, Guo Kunnan, and Shan Kaiquan were all studying.

Then his gaze settled on Ma Shicheng next to him.

Well then, with stacks of books piled high on his desk, Ma Shicheng was gripping his phone, utterly engrossed in his game, out of place with the rest of the class.

These past few days, Ma Shicheng carried on as he always did, never touching a textbook.

He was a loyal gamer who wouldn’t change his gaming mentality due to the influence of others.

As a result, Ma Shicheng’s game score had once again surpassed Geng Lu’s by a little margin, and he should not be underestimated in the future.
