“Chen Yilang.

“Recite the ‘Romance of the Peach Blossom’ for me.”

…

The next morning.

In the morning reading class.

Mo Li’s gaze shifted from one place to another, and for some unknown reason, her gaze landed on Chen Yilang.

Yesterday, she had been chatting with Yang Shijun in the office about what had happened in her class. She had heard him say that Chen Yilang had actually solved a difficult question in class.

The main point was that he had actually done it faster and more accurately than Jiang Ming.

This piqued Mo Li’s interest.

After all, she had been the class teacher for three years and had also been teaching this bunch of little brats for three years. She knew all her student’s characteristics.

It was basically impossible for a kid like Chen Yilang, who had no sense of presence in class, to do such a thing…

There were three levels of human curiosity. The first level was pure curiosity, the second was naughty hands, and the third was to cause trouble.

Yes.

Mo Li really wanted to cause trouble to him.

Hence, she randomly called out Chen Yilang’s name, the kind that was not intentional at all.

Upon hearing that Chen Yilang had been called out, the atmosphere in the class suddenly became lively again.

The [Underachiever] all put down their textbooks and focused their gazes on Chen Yilang at the same time.

When he heard Mo Li’s voice, Chen Yilang was still thinking about how he could get some more Knowledge Points from Chen Jiahui.

He still needed a lot of Memory Bread at the moment, but it was already very uncomfortable just having bread without the necessary [Knowledge Points].

Chen Yilang only reacted when he noticed all the students were focusing on him.

However, this time, Chen Yilang stood up calmly.

“In the Taiyuan of Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling were fishers…”

Chen Yilang recited the entire text without any breaks in between.

The sound of Yilang’s recitation reverberated throughout the classroom, flowing like clouds and flowing water.

When Chen Yilang finished reciting the last sentence, the entire classroom was silent for four to five seconds.

The entire class was almost stunned by what they heard, unable to regain their senses for a while.

Their Brother Chen…

Was this the rise of Chen Yilang?

It felt as though this fellow had taken the wrong medicine for the past few days. It was as though he had suddenly become a different person.

“Not bad. You’ve memorized every word exactly.” A look of surprise appeared on Mo Li’s face. In the end, she smiled and nodded her head in praise.

[Mo Li’s favorability has increased.]

The system’s voice made Chen Yilang feel a little flustered.

He was afraid that he would suddenly trigger some hidden mission, and Mo Li would give him double the homework for that night.

“Recently, Chen Yilang’s learning state has been excellent. It’s a good thing. Everyone should learn more from him,” Mo li continued, “Especially Yang Tao, Li Fu, and Zhou Zhikuan. You guys should learn from him.”

[Successfully inflicts a large amount of mental damage to Level 4 Underachiever. You obtained Gold Coin +12 and Experience Point +8.]

[Successfully inflicts a large amount of mental damage to Level 3 Underachiever. You obtained Gold Coin +9 and Experience Point +6.]

[Successfully inflicts a large amount of mental damage to Level 1 Underachiever. You obtained Gold Coin +5 and Experience Point +3.]

…

The three of them who were suddenly called out by Mo Li would never have thought that they would be criticized.

Although it was a little surprising, Chen Yilang also realized that as his level increased. The rewards he received from Underachievers were getting lesser and lesser.

“It’s useless for me to keep killing small flies.

“It’s time to step out of my comfort zone.”

Thinking of this, Chen Yilang fixed his gaze on Chen Jiahui…

The [Level 5 Ultimate Genius] must be taken down!

…

The day of study and life went by like this again.

After school, the classroom of Grade 12 Class 6 was the same as before. Soon, a large group of people left.

Those who stayed in the classroom and continued to work overtime and study were still the Top Students and the Geniuses.

However, Chen Yilang was not in a hurry.

Chen Yilang was like a sheep disguising as a wolf. He was mixed in the middle of a group of terrifying monsters.

He had coveted Chen Jiahui’s Knowledge Points for a long time, so he began to look for ways to obtain it.

After a while, most of the people in the classroom had left.

What remained in the classroom was still the group of [Top Students] and [Geniuses] from before.

Everyone began to concentrate.

Especially Chen Jiahui. She simply put on her headphones and completely isolated all sounds from the outside world. She was wholeheartedly immersed in her learning world.

A familiar feel assailed him, and Chen Yilang began to feel a familiar physical discomfort again.

[The [Competitive Spirit] has started. Please pay attention to avoid it!]

[HP -1.]

[HP -1.]

…

“Damn it.

“I’m starting to lose HP again.”

Chen Yilang felt a little headache.

If this continued, not to mention killing this big monster, even his maintaining his own HP would be a problem.

Looking at his HP slowly decreasing, he imagined the scene of Gold Coins dropping all over the ground when the monster was killed.

Chen Yilang gritted his teeth and made up his mind to hang on a little longer and observe the situation.

He was a real man! He should hang on a little longer.

Just like that, Chen Yilang shouldered the [Competitive Spirit] that was triggered by [Level 5 Ultimate Genius] and sat quietly at the side.

His HP had gradually decreased to 80%…

Chen Yilang thought quickly and suddenly had a wonderful idea.

What was the way to deal with the inner scroll?

Was it to escape from it?

No.

The best way was to be even fiercer than it!

This was the experience passed down from the older generation.

Thinking of this, Chen Yilang was enlightened.

He immediately took out the math exercise book from his bag and started to study.

As if she heard the movement beside her, Chen Jiahui looked at him suspiciously.

At that moment, she suspected that she was watching a sci-fi movie.

Chen Yilang was actually doing his homework!

All along, under the arrangement of the class teacher, she often sat with Chen Yilang.

This was the first time she saw Chen Yilang doing his homework.

Moreover, it was after school that he automatically stayed back to study!

Was he out of his mind?

No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem normal…

Chen Jiahui was a little confused.

The sudden change that happened to Chen Yilang made Chen Jiahui start to feel a little uneasy.

Even Chen Yilang, who was at the bottom of the heap, was starting to work hard. What reason did she have to not study hard?

Thinking of this, Chen Jiahui put in 120% of her energy and continued to study.

[The concentration of the [Competitive Spirit] is increasing rapidly!]

[HP -1.]

[HP -5.]

[HP -10.]

…

Chen Yilang was shocked
