Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1153 True Proof (29)

In the small tavern, Wang Chen enjoyed a splendid Mid-Autumn night.

He and Lily, the white-collar woman, chatted until late before bidding each other goodbye, having drank quite a bit.

However, the anticipated exciting events did not occur; they just added each other on WeChat when leaving, leaving a possibility for future meetings.

Of course, they might never meet again, such is life, with no regrets.

Wang Chen continued his high school career.

As time passed, the students in Class 2-1 at No. 5 Middle School became familiar with Wang Chen, who was usually reticent and aloof but always scored first in exams.

However, everyone gradually discovered that they had misunderstood Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was quiet simply because he was focused on his studies, and the books he read surpassed high school levels, consisting only of university textbooks on his desk.

But if a classmate sought help from Wang Chen, such as encountering difficulties in the curriculum, he would always provide a careful and thorough explanation, never showing impatience.

Most importantly, whether in mathematics, English, or science, his knowledge was extremely comprehensive, with problem-solving skills even surpassing some teachers, truly a top student among top students!

Class 2-1 at No. 5 Middle School was the top-ranked class, where, aside from a few children of teachers, all were top students.

No one doubted Wang Chen’s academic abilities.

Unknowingly, a circle of top students formed around him, where everyone shared and learned from each other, becoming a highlight in Class 2-1.

As a key class within a key school, students in Class 2-1 were all aiming for top universities, and the study atmosphere was intense, with everyone devoting almost all their time to studying, day after day without change.

No melodramatic stories occurred.

Instead, Xiao Xudong from Class 2-15 would occasionally come to Wang Chen, bringing stories from other classes.

Wang Chen no longer skipped classes to play Legend in internet cafes, and after entering the key class, Xiao Xudong felt greatly inspired; he no longer lingered in internet cafes and started studying seriously, even attending weekend tutorial classes.

His grades improved significantly.

Xiao Xudong was not lacking in intelligence. If he continued at this rate, there would be no problem getting into a first-tier university, even aiming for a 211 university was hopeful.

If that were to happen, his life trajectory would undoubtedly change.

As for whether it’s for better or worse, Wang Chen would not interfere, unless Xiao Xudong encountered unsolvable difficulties or problems.

Soon, it was mid-October, and No. 5 Middle School in the provincial capital was about to hold the 2012 Autumn Sports Festival.

"Wang Chen."

Wei Hao, the sports committee member of Class 2-1, approached Wang Chen with a registration form, smiling cheerfully, "Not many people have signed up for the sports festival. Could you lead by example?"

Class 2-1 had the top academic scores in the grade, but the physical fitness level of its students was undoubtedly the lowest among the science classes, making the sports festival more stressful than citywide unified exams.

Especially for challenging events, everyone was keen to avoid them.

As the sports committee member, Wei Hao was in a tough spot.

"Okay."

Wang Chen readily agreed: "You decide, I’m fine with anything."

Wei Hao’s eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly marked on the registration form: "How about 100 meters, 5000 meters, and heptathlon?"

Wang Chen smiled: "Sure."

This sports committee member was really not being polite, picking all the high-difficulty events for him.

The 100-meter race was the most intense and attention-grabbing, the 5000-meter long run was intimidating for all students except those in sports, and the heptathlon—110-meter hurdles, high jump, javelin, 400 meters, long jump, discus, 1500 meters—was a great test of personal athletic ability.

"That’s great!"

Wei Hao beamed with joy, and then sighed: "If everyone were like you, my job would be so much easier."

He shook his head and moved on to pick the next robust fellow.

At noon, just like before, Wang Chen came to the school cafeteria, got his meal, found a seat, and just then, Xiao Xudong sneaked over.

He nudged Wang Chen’s elbow and whispered, "Brother Chen, quickly look over there at the girl in the white dress. Heard she just transferred to the overseas study class, our new school beauty at No. 5 High!"

Does No. 5 High have a school beauty?

Wang Chen remembered that throughout his three years of high school in his previous life, he had never heard or seen everyone agree on a school beauty.

Of course, among the more than three thousand students, there definitely were some beautiful girls, especially the numerous ones in the overseas study classes, either aiming for art exams or not, none had the beauty to make everyone agree unanimously.

He couldn’t help but follow the direction Xiao Xudong was pointing and saw a group of students sitting around a table not far away, where a girl in a white dress was particularly eye-catching.

The overseas study classes were a specialty of No. 5 High, its students were either rich or noble, their regular dress quite different from ordinary students, and they could also bring phones, tablets, and laptops to class, attending courses taught by foreign instructors.

The three overseas study classes had their own circle, and many of them didn’t dine in the school cafeteria, so they were rarely seen during meal times.

The new school beauty Xiao Xudong mentioned indeed had outstanding looks; fair-skinned, beautiful with long legs, she wore what seemed like a designer dress that excellently highlighted her figure.

Fully overshadowing the other girls at No. 5 High.

This new school beauty was flanked by two girls, with a bunch of boys from the overseas study class surrounding her, making her the center of attention in their star-like formation.

"Brother Chen, was I wrong?"

Xiao Xudong excitedly said: "The class group chat has gone crazy, saying she’s the number one beauty since the founding of our No. 5 High!"

Wang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

The title of number one beauty was really too adolescent.

She was indeed beautiful, but in Wang Chen’s eyes, she was nothing special—Cultivation World was teeming with stunning female cultivators, whose aura no mortal woman could match.

While Xiao Xudong was pointing and gesturing, the new school beauty seemed to notice and turned her head to look towards Wang Chen’s direction.

She frowned but didn’t say anything.

However, one of the boys sitting beside her suddenly stood up, stormed over to Xiao Xudong with an imposing air, and said sternly: "What are you looking at, haven’t you seen a girl before? Just eat your meal, don’t make trouble for yourself!"

Xiao Xudong was caught off guard, his mouth opened but he couldn’t speak, his face showing fear.

Because not only was the other party from the overseas study class, but he was also tall and strong, with a fierce look that was quite intimidating.

After scolding, the boy still seemed unsatisfied, suddenly reaching out to push Xiao Xudong’s face, intending to teach him a painful lesson.
