When I Just Didn't Speak...

Wei Wenshi took a deep look at Lu Xiaobai, no longer feeling conflicted, and said with a smile,

"Alright, school is over. You should head back first. We have plenty of time anyway, so you can take your time learning."

Lu Xiaobai nodded.

The Basic Palm Technique was just preparation for the future. It wouldn't help him with the Star Exam, so naturally, there was no need to rush.

Ten minutes later,

Lu Xiaobai was sitting in the passenger seat of the Flame hovercar. Lin Xue'er sat quietly in the back, still trying to deconstruct the basic body refinement method,

while Little Lei focused on driving the vehicle...

As for Ah Da, because his body was too bulky, sitting in the back would be too crowded, so he could only fly behind them. However, as long as he wasn't in combat, his energy consumption wasn't too significant.

"I say, Little Lei, is this thing really that attractive to you?"

Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

He was starting to understand why this guy was so enthusiastic toward him...

"Bro, you don't understand. This hovercar is my ultimate dream!"

Little Lei said with eyes full of fanaticism:

"I've actually thought it all out. Once I get to university, I'll choose Basic Spaceship Studies as my minor. In the future, I'll specialize in researching hovercars. It would be even better if I could get into the Lightchaser Group..."

The Lightchaser Group he mentioned was a top-tier corporation specializing in the research of hovercars, warships, and other flight technologies. The power behind it was another top faction, the Lin family.

"Bro, I heard that the Lu family is on good terms with the Lin family..."

Little Lei blinked, looking over with a bashful expression.

"..."

Lu Xiaobai looked at the burly Lin Lei'er making such an expression and instantly shuddered, hastily saying:

"Don't count on it. Good terms are one thing, but how could a member of the Lu family plant someone in another family's company?"

"Even if you could get in, you'd only be a security guard. You'd never be able to touch their core technology."

The Lin family weren't fools. If Little Lei was a spy planted there, wouldn't their core technology be exposed...

"Uh..."

Little Lei scratched his head and instantly dropped the subject.

He didn't want to be a security guard for the Lightchaser Group, even though that was something countless Star Martial Artists dreamed of...

Half an hour later,

The three successfully returned to the residential area.

"Brother Lu, goodbye! I want to be your driver again tomorrow!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobai smiled dumbly and nodded.

He was already tired of driving the hovercar, so having a free driver now was quite nice.

Most importantly, the siblings both had good grades.

If he didn't understand anything regarding theoretical knowledge, he could just ask them directly.

Soon,

Lu Xiaobai and Ah Da returned home.

"Welcome home, Master."

The white-bearded butler immediately came forward to greet them, adding:

"Would you like me to prepare a late-night snack, Master?"

"No need, I'm a bit tired."

Lu Xiaobai shook his head and turned to go back to his bedroom.

The intensity of the elite class's curriculum was far beyond what the regular class could compare to.

He spent the day seriously studying theoretical knowledge and the evening learning the Basic Palm Technique. After a whole day of this, he was quite exhausted.

However, hard work always pays off. He could feel that his theoretical knowledge had improved significantly, and he was even confident he could break into the top ten of his class in the next monthly exam!

"Principal Know-it-all really knows his stuff..."

The fact that he could gain so much was naturally inseparable from Wei Wenshi's teaching ability.

"Sleep, and continue tomorrow!"

He didn't think about it anymore and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

...

The next day,

Lu Xiaobai woke up from his sleep looking radiant, fully restored to full health.

Following his usual routine, he instructed Lao Hu to prepare breakfast, while he went to the balcony and began to execute the movements of the Lu Clan Body Refinement Method...

Half an hour later,

His body felt warm and filled with boundless vitality. His life force smoothly reached level 4.1, which was another significant improvement.

"So comfortable..."

He looked at his information panel and, with a sweep of his gaze, saw that there was still one unused Starry Sky Point.

It was the reward he had obtained from his one-on-one duel with Yuan Li yesterday.

"Which Star Skill should I upgrade?"

He looked at the Star Skills and Special Skills he had mastered, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Logically speaking, continuing to add points to the Lu Clan Body Refinement Method was definitely the best choice. After all, this was the only top-tier Star Skill he currently possessed.

However, based on his current rate of life force improvement, he could definitely reach 9.9 before the Star Exam, and this level was already the maximum level a human middle school student could achieve.

This wasn't because they couldn't continue to break through, but rather because they wanted to undergo a special baptism at the Starry Sky Academy before breaking through. This would increase their potential.

Therefore, no genius would choose to become an official Star Martial Artist ahead of time.

For Lu Xiaobai, reaching level 9.9 was enough. There was no need to add any more points to the Lu Clan Body Refinement Method right now.

"I'll save it for now and decide which Star Skill to upgrade later."

He didn't use it rashly, instead deciding to hold onto it and use it later depending on the situation.

Soon,

After enjoying a wonderful breakfast, Lu Xiaobai headed to school full of anticipation.

He was eager to master more theoretical knowledge. Not only was this related to his Star Exam results, but he was also extremely interested in the knowledge of many subjects...

Just like that, Lu Xiaobai spent a fulfilling week in the elite class.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February.

"Everyone, tomorrow is our monthly wilderness combat training. This time, all five middle schools will be participating again."

Wei Wenshi walked up to the podium and said slowly:

"I hope everyone can put in some extra effort this time. I'm not saying we have to take first place, but we should at least advance one rank!"

"Tell me, do you have confidence?!"

"..."

The crowd below instantly fell silent. Surprisingly, not a single person answered.

The wilderness combat training was held once a month and involved the elite class students from all five middle schools.

Their results had always been stable in third place, and the gap between them and the top two was quite large. Clearly, they had long since accepted reality.

Most importantly,

Yuan Li, who was third in their class, had dropped out. With that, it would be good enough if they could just maintain their third-place position...

"..."

Seeing the crowd looking so devoid of fighting spirit, Wei Wenshi couldn't help but frown.

But right at this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice rang out:

"We have confidence!"

"Hm?"

Wei Wenshi was momentarily stunned and looked over with admiration, but his expression suddenly turned a bit strange.

The person who spoke was none other than Lu Xiaobai...

"Teacher, Yuan Li's departure is related to me, so I will step up and take his place!"

Lu Xiaobai patted his chest and promised.

"Not bad, having confidence is a good thing."

Wei Wenshi nodded. Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke up:

"According to the rules, participating students cannot rely on any external items. They can only rely on their own strength!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai instantly sat back down in his seat and muttered:

"Pretend I didn't say anything just now..."
