18 Chapter 18: Capable of Killing a Tiger with One Punch
Seeing that there were four beds in the dormitory, Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He really disliked bunk beds.
After everyone chose their beds and started arranging their things, school provided blankets for each new student, which were promptly set up.
Once Chen Ye finished, Zhao Zheng returned to the dorm.
"Zhao bro, you're back."
Lu Yong greeted with a smile, "We saved you a bed by the window."
Zhao Zheng nodded slightly, "Thanks, brother."
"Let me help you with that!" Lu Yong offered, more eager to ingratiate himself with Zhao Zheng than out of genuine kindness, given Zhao Zheng's S3 Hero Code, second only to Tang Zichen in excellence.
Before Zhao Zheng could refuse, Lu Yong began to help make his bed, chatting as he worked. "Zhao bro, I didn't expect to be in the same dorm with you. Please take care of me in the future."
Zhao Zheng replied calmly, "We're all classmates, no need for such formalities, we can help each other."
The two chatted off and on.
Qian Fugui, still sullen from the earlier cafeteria incident, was brooding.
Having finished arranging his bed, Chen Ye decided to leave the dorm and started running on the sports field.
He hadn't completed his training for the day yet.
An hour and a half later.
While completing his last exercise, a "10-kilometer run," Chen Ye suddenly felt a surge of invisible energy within his body, enhancing his strength.
He stopped immediately and opened his attribute panel:
Name: Chen Ye.
Physique: 67.
Spirit: 11.
Strength: 69.
Agility: 69.
Talent: Saitama Physique.
...
Seeing his physique, strength, and agility each increase by 5 points, Chen Ye smiled contentedly.
The feeling of getting stronger every day was intoxicating.
Moreover, Chen Ye could now complete all four exercises of the Saitama training method in just an hour and a half, and without much fatigue, just breaking a sweat.
With Chen Ye's current physique, this level of exercise was no longer a burden.
He clenched his fist, feeling he could kill a tiger with one punch. The sensation of possessing strength was indeed wonderful.
After completing his training, Chen Ye returned to the dorm.
He had tried doing the Saitama training method twice a day to see if it would double his attribute increases.
But it didn't work.
The Saitama training method was effective only once a day.
...
Back in the dorm.
Chen Ye found his three roommates gathered around a table, chatting and laughing, with snacks and beer on the table.
The previously disheartened Qian Fugui was now red-faced from drinking.
Seeing Chen Ye enter, Zhao Zheng invited him with a smile, "Chen Ye, you're back, come have a drink."
Refusing would seem antisocial.
"Sure!"
Chen Ye agreed readily and sat next to Qian Fugui.
Zhao Zheng personally opened a can of beer for Chen Ye, saying, "Actually, your father, Chairman Chen, is my idol. I watched videos of Chairman Chen saving the city when I was young. His heroic deeds deeply influenced me!"
"In fact, my decision to match with S3 was influenced by Chairman Chen. I have to thank him for impacting my life. Of course, I'm just a nobody now, not worthy to meet Chairman Chen... But thanking his son is the same, this drink is for you!"
Chen Ye was puzzled.
Looking at the table, there weren't many beers opened. Why did it seem like these guys were already drunk?
Half an hour later...
Chen Ye was the only one left sober at the table.
Looking at his drunken roommates, he reluctantly began to clean up the aftermath.
After disposing of the empty beer cans and food trash, he moved his roommates to their beds. Only then did Chen Ye go to shower and sleep.
...
The next day.
Chen Ye was the first to wake up.
After rousing his roommates, they all washed up and went to class together.
Surprisingly, having a drink together the previous night had indeed made everyone more congenial.
Arriving at the classroom, everyone found seats on their own.
Other students gradually filled the room, and by nearly 8 o'clock, the thirty-some seats prepared in the classroom were almost all occupied.
This was the freshmen's first class, and no one would be foolish enough to miss it.
At 8 o'clock sharp.
The class bell rang, and Teacher Liu entered the classroom with his laptop.
"Before we start, I ask all students to turn off their mobile phones, as the content about the secret realm is forbidden to be disclosed."
Upon hearing this, everyone took out their phones and switched them off.
A girl couldn't help asking, "Teacher, why must the content about the secret realm be kept confidential? Wouldn't disclosing it benefit society more?"
"Many people think like you, including myself!" Teacher Liu said with a smile. "Initially, when our government obtained information about the secret realms, it was immediately disclosed. Unfortunately, a certain island nation overseas chose to be selfish, keeping the information confidential for internal viewing only."
"Due to this country setting a bad precedent, others didn't want to freely disclose information for others to take advantage of, leading to a similar strategy across the board."
"Decades have passed, and although much of the secret realm information has leaked out, the unwritten rule of confidentiality remains."
The students then understood the reason.
Teacher Liu continued with a smile, "This is my first time teaching, so I guess we should elect a class leader. Does anyone wish to take on this role?"
No one spoke.
Among them, all had successfully matched with Hero Talents, possessing abilities beyond ordinary people and bound to have extraordinary powers in the future.
Such individuals value strength above all.
They saw no need to vie for power or status like ordinary university students.
Without strength, even
with much power, it's all illusory.
Being a class leader, for them, was just a waste of time.
With little interest from the students, Teacher Liu wasn't surprised and decided, "Since no one is willing, I'll appoint someone... Tang Zichen, you'll be the class leader. No objections, right?"
"No objections!" everyone chorused.
Tang Zichen had the highest talent among them, and her becoming the class leader was expected and unopposed.
Tang Zichen frowned slightly, about to decline, but Teacher Liu added, "A special ability school is different from a regular one. Everyone is more focused on becoming stronger, and the class leader doesn't have many duties. It's more of a symbolic role, so please, Tang Zichen, don't refuse."
Hearing this, Tang Zichen reluctantly accepted the role of class leader.
"Alright, let's start the class."
Teacher Liu opened his laptop and projected its contents onto the blackboard.
"Please look here. This ugly-looking creature is a monster from the first secret realm."
Students focused on the blackboard, observing intently.
Chen Ye, however, widened his eyes in shock upon seeing the monster on the blackboard.
He recognized this monster!
