Morning light streamed through the glass windows of the teaching building, illuminating the clean corridors.
It was warm and cozy, with the fresh scent of grass and trees in the early morning.
Lu Jingchen handed the heavy schoolbag to Lu Qingyuan, smiling gently.
"Go inside, pay attention in class, and don't let your mind wander."
Lu Qingyuan nodded obediently, clutching her schoolbag strap.
"Brother, what about you? Aren't you coming into the classroom with me?"
Lu Jingchen raised his hand and pointed towards the office building upstairs.
"I'll go to the homeroom teacher's office first to cancel my leave."
Lu Qingyuan said "Oh," waved, and turned to enter the classroom.
Lu Jingchen watched her figure disappear through the door before turning around.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked briskly toward the office building.
Just as I turned the corner of the stairs, a clear female voice came from behind me.
"Lu Jingchen?"
Lu Jingchen stopped abruptly and subconsciously turned around.
In the backlight, the girl had long hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a clean school uniform.
With her exceptionally beautiful appearance and porcelain-white skin, she was none other than Su Muyue, the school beauty in the class.
She was staring at him with wide, almond-shaped eyes, her face full of surprise.
Lu Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"Su Muyue?"
He muttered to himself: So it was her, the school beauty from back then.
I never expected to run into this place again after just a few months.
Su Muyue walked quickly to him and looked him up and down several times.
The surprise on his face hadn't faded at all.
"Is it really you?"
"Everyone thought you dropped out of school, why did you suddenly come back?"
Just as Lu Jingchen was about to reply, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
His gaze swept over Su Muyue's wrist and then over her brow.
A faint yet extremely concentrated fluctuation of spiritual energy slowly circulated around her.
It was hidden so well that ordinary people couldn't detect it at all.
Lu Jingchen's pupils contracted slightly, and he blurted out.
"Are you a spiritual practitioner?"
Su Muyue froze on the spot, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
She quickly brushed a stray hair behind her ear as if to cover it up.
"What did you say? I don't understand."
"What cultivator? Have you been reading too many novels while you've been missing for the past few months?"
Lu Jingchen knew perfectly well in his heart:
His aura was restrained, and his spiritual energy was solid; he was actually at the sixth level of Qi Refining?
I never expected that such a master was hidden in this ordinary high school.
It's true what they say, the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix are right beside me.
He gave Su Muyue a deep look, but didn't expose her again.
He smiled and waved his hand, casually changing the subject.
"It's nothing, I just misread it."
"I have to talk to you now, I need to go find my homeroom teacher to cancel my leave."
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking towards the office building.
Su Muyue instinctively called out, "Hey..."
But Lu Jingchen didn't stop walking; he had already gone far away.
Su Muyue stood there, watching his back, lost in thought.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of doubt.
How would he know about cultivators? Could he be one himself?
Lu Jingchen took a few steps and glanced back at what was behind him.
A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips.
I never expected there was such a person hiding in the class.
interesting.
Knock knock knock.
Lu Jingchen raised his hand and knocked on the office door.
The calm voice of the homeroom teacher, Zhang Weiguo, came from inside.
"Enter."
Lu Jingchen pushed open the door and went inside.
Zhang Weiguo was sitting at his desk grading papers when he looked up and saw it was him.
He immediately put down the red pen in his hand and pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Jingchen, you're here? Have you taken care of everything at home?"
Lu Jingchen nodded respectfully.
"Yes, it's all taken care of, Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Weiguo pointed to the chair opposite the desk, gesturing for him to sit down.
"It's good that you're back."
"I know something happened in your family, and I'm heartbroken."
"But there are only ten days left until the college entrance examination."
Lu Jingchen sat in the chair, his expression calm, without the slightest hint of panic.
Looking at his composed demeanor, Zhang Weiguo sighed helplessly.
He reached out and flipped open the calendar on the table, pointing to the date of the college entrance examination.
"I'll let all the teachers know later."
"Let them help you with a targeted intensive review."
"You have a good foundation. As long as you are willing to give it your all, you still have a chance to get into a good school."
Lu Jingchen smiled, his tone full of confidence.
"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing."
"I will definitely not hold the class back."
Zhang Weiguo looked at his confident expression and smiled helplessly.
"You're still so composed."
"Alright, stop sitting here and go back to the classroom."
"The first class is about to start, don't be late."
Lu Jingchen stood up and bowed to Zhang Weiguo.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the office.
The classroom of Senior Three (2) was noisy and chaotic.
It was during the break before morning self-study, and the students were making a lot of noise.
Some were gossiping, others were catching up on homework, and the place was in complete chaos.
The classroom door was gently pushed open, and Lu Jingchen stepped in.
The once noisy classroom instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Dozens of eyes were fixed on him.
A few seconds later, whispers and murmurs filled the classroom.
"Holy crap, Lu Jingchen is actually back?"
"Does he even dare to come back? He's missed almost four months of classes; he'll probably be at the bottom even if he comes back."
"He's probably just coming back to get a diploma; what can you expect from him going to university?"
"That's true. With such a big thing happening at home, how can anyone concentrate on studying?"
The murmurs weren't loud, but they were just loud enough for Lu Jingchen to hear.
But Lu Jingchen seemed not to hear, his face remaining completely expressionless.
I walked straight through the classroom to my seat by the window.
He pulled out a chair and calmly sat down.
The table was piled high with textbooks and test papers, covered with a thin layer of dust.
Lu Jingchen casually picked up the top physics book and dusted it off.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"It's just mundane knowledge, no big deal."
He thought to himself:
Lao Tzu is a powerful cultivator who returned from cultivating immortality, possessing a divine sense strong enough to cover an entire city.
Having a photographic memory is a basic skill.
What's so difficult about these high school level concepts?
Purely is a form of dimensional reduction attack.
Lu Jingchen flicked his finger and began to quickly turn the pages of the book.
The rustling sound of pages turning was particularly clear in the noisy classroom.
His gaze was focused, and a glint seemed to flash in his pupils.
The pages were turned very quickly, a page every few seconds.
The knowledge points inside were instantly memorized and thoroughly understood by his divine sense.
[Quick-cut montage shots]
The classroom during the day.
Lu Jingchen spread out five or six textbooks in front of him, his eyes scanning them rapidly.
The pages flipped through the book at lightning speed; in just half a class period, he had finished reviewing all the math concepts for high school.
The study in the rented room at night.
Lu Jingchen held a pen in his hand and quickly did calculations on the draft paper.
Physics formulas, English words, and classical Chinese annotations flow like a data stream.
It flooded his mind and instantly formed a complete knowledge system.
Lu Jingchen closed the last thick book of review materials for the college entrance examination in chemistry.
He slowly closed his eyes.
In my mind, all the knowledge points from all subjects in the three years of high school are there.
Instantly, a huge, seamless knowledge network is constructed, and everything is instantly illuminated.
He slowly opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"All done, I've retrieved all the key points."
The classroom was quiet during the morning self-study session on the second day.
The only sound was the scratching of the pen tip across the paper.
A brand new mock exam paper for the science subjects was laid out on Lu Jingchen's desk.
Lu Jingchen casually twirled the pen in his hand.
His gaze swept quickly across the entire exam paper, and the smile on his lips deepened.
"That's it? That's too easy."
He put down his pen, and then began to write with divine inspiration.
The pen tip left afterimages on the exam paper as it wrote rapidly.
Fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, experimental, and essay questions were all completed in one go.
There wasn't a single pause; it was like copying answers.
The students around him were still scratching their heads and biting their pens, racking their brains over the multiple-choice questions.
Lu Jingchen slammed his pen down.
The entire exam paper was filled with neat and tidy writing.
He looked at the exam paper filled with standard answers and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's even better than his peak performance before he went missing."
He turned to look out the window, where the morning sunlight shone on his face.
Lu Jingchen calmly thought to himself:
At this rate, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Linchuan City is within easy reach.
By the way, I can also find out who that school beauty cultivator in my class really is.
