Everyone's minds were jolted, instinctively looking over.
When they saw the large number displayed on the screen, their eyes instantly widened in disbelief, as if they'd seen a ghost.
"350 kilograms? How is that possible?! That's the standard for Level 4 Vitality!"
"Am I seeing things? Did Young Master Lu really produce that? Wasn't his Vitality Level less than 2 just last month?"
"The machine's broken! It must be malfunctioning..."
Their expressions were ones of utter shock, instinctively doubting the equipment.
After all, less than a month had passed. How could his Vitality possibly surge by two whole levels? Most people had only improved by 0.1 at most. This was a two-hundred-fold difference!
"Quiet!"
Nangong Ling coldly snapped, speaking up,
"This equipment was purchased by the school just last year; it can't break that easily. Keep watching!"
She had initially been somewhat doubtful too,
but when she saw Lu Xiaobai's completely calm face, her doubts instantly vanished.
He seemed to have expected this all along!
Lu Xiaobai paid no mind to the others' thoughts and walked to the track for the speed test.
As the starting gun sounded, he instantly shot off like an arrow from a bow, covering the hundred-meter track in the blink of an eye. His final burst speed was displayed:
10.4 meters per second!
The crowd was shaken once more, their doubts completely disappearing.
One piece of equipment malfunctioning could be a coincidence, but how could two fail simultaneously?
"Could it be that Brother Lu was really hiding his strength before and is just revealing it now?"
"That doesn't make sense. Then why did Brother Lu stage that fake match during the practical test before? Was he just trying to hand out benefits to everyone?"
"Is it possible... Brother Lu really improved this much in just one month?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Improving Vitality by 2 levels in a month? Do you think this is a video game where you level up?"
Everyone quickly dismissed that idea.
After all, it had taken Lu Xiaobai two and a half years to reach 1.5,
so jumping to nearly 2.5 in one month was pure nonsense...
At this moment, a strange light flickered in Nangong Ling's eyes as she scrutinized Lu Xiaobai, as if she had never truly seen through this boy.
"Just how did you manage this..."
Although she came from a top-tier Starfleet Academy, she had never heard of such a bizarre improvement...
Right then,
Lu Xiaobai finished testing his reaction speed.
Finally, his Vitality Level was displayed:
Level 3.9!
He had surpassed Du An, the top-ranked student in the class, by 0.2 levels!
Such a drastic change left everyone stunned, feeling as if they were in a dream.
To go from last place to first place in just a month... it was simply too science-fiction.
Lu Xiaobai looked at the results on the screen, a faint smile appearing in his eyes, though he wasn't too surprised.
Ever since he captured that Demon Insect over half a month ago, he had used the two Star Points he obtained on the [Lu Clan Body Tempering Method], successfully raising its level to four!
And the Level 4 [Lu Clan Body Tempering Method] did not disappoint. Its effects were even comparable to a max-level [Basic Body Tempering Method]. The combination of the two meant his Vitality growth rate was equivalent to two hundred and forty times his previous pace!
Although his constitution prevented him from absorbing nutritional supplements,
the gains from this tempering method were truly terrifying!
During this period, his Vitality had been changing almost daily—an improvement speed unimaginable to anyone. After all, increasing Vitality was a slow process of accumulation; no one had ever seen it skyrocket as if injected with growth hormones...
"Lu Xiaobai, come here for a moment."
Nangong Ling had barely regained her composure, but her gaze remained exceedingly complex.
Lu Xiaobai, wearing a smile, followed her calmly.
The shocked looks from everyone still felt incredibly satisfying. After all, this time it wasn't due to family background or connections, but his own ability. The feeling was completely different from before.
The two of them walked outside the Star Martial Arts Hall.
Lu Xiaobai blinked and asked,
"Teacher Nangong, what's the matter?"
"..."
Nangong Ling took a deep breath and then said,
"Were you hiding your strength, or did you really improve this much in just one month?"
"Does my personality seem like the type to hide my strength?"
Lu Xiaobai replied with a grin.
"..."
Receiving this affirmative answer, Nangong Ling's heart trembled once more.
Improving Vitality by 2 levels in a month was something beyond a normal person's comprehension!
After a long pause, she steadied her emotions and asked slowly,
"How did you do it? Of course, I'm just asking. You don't have to tell me."
He was a direct descendant of the Lu Clan. This might involve his family's secrets, which she, as a mere middle school teacher, had no right to pry into.
"It's actually not much of a secret."
Lu Xiaobai shrugged nonchalantly.
"My [Basic Body Tempering Method] reached max level!"
"Max level?!"
Nangong Ling's eyes widened, staring straight at him.
"Wasn't it only Level 1 last month?"
"I just... suddenly had an epiphany..."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled, then continued in a tone of feigned confusion,
"Teacher, is that... difficult?"
"..."
Looking at his show-off demeanor, Nangong Ling couldn't help but feel like giving him a couple of good punches...
She had been considered a genius herself, having tested into a top-tier Starfleet Academy. But even now, three years after graduation, her own Body Tempering Method was only at Level 4, and reaching max level seemed a distant dream. "Not difficult"? Of course it's difficult!
She gave Lu Xiaobai a deep look, thinking to herself:
A Lu Clan member is ultimately a Lu Clan member...
She had specifically researched the Lu Clan's direct descendants online. Over all these years, not a single one had turned out to be a failure. Especially this generation of the Lu Clan's direct line was terrifyingly monstrous, and it seemed Lu Xiaobai was no exception.
After another pause, Nangong Ling said slowly,
"With your rate of progress, you're practically not suited for this class anymore. Have you considered moving to the grade's Elite Class?"
The Elite Class was formed at the start of the senior year, comprising only the top hundred students in the grade. It was essentially the gathering place for Starlight Middle School's top academic achievers. The purpose of concentrating them was to facilitate specialized training, aiming to help them get into top-tier Starfleet Academies, or even the Ten Great Academies!
Lu Xiaobai, however, wasn't very interested.
The Elite Class just meant more resources. For others, that might be an irresistible temptation, but as a Lu Clan direct descendant, he truly didn't care about resources at all...
Just as he was about to decline, familiar text appeared before his eyes once more:
[Three-Star Mission Issued: Join the Grade Elite Class and achieve a total Star Exam score within the top ten of the class.]
[The cosmic starry sky is vast and boundless. This is a grand era where countless geniuses vie for supremacy! Young one, it is time for you to set forth...]
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
