The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

After the first-tier crystal core in Zhang Ziyang's hand was absorbed, the "qi" in his body immediately became much stronger.

But it doesn't seem to be satisfied yet!

Its appetite is as great as that of a glutton.

Zhang Ziyang was still immersed in the process of rapidly becoming stronger and was completely unaware of the outside world.

At this moment, the powerful "qi" within the body is like a wild beast following its hunting instincts, spontaneously expanding its hunting range!

The crystal cores in the hands of his classmates who were close to him suddenly went out of control.

It trembled and cried out in the face of that probing "qi".

Soon, under the dominance of "qi", they quickly collapsed and disintegrated, and the energy they contained spontaneously flew towards Zhang Ziyang.

It was as if a huge vortex was hidden where it was!

"This! This! This!"

On the podium, Gao Qiang's lips trembled as he watched this scene unfold, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

After finishing what's in your own pot, you turn around and snatch someone else's?

This is too overbearing!

Such extraordinary talent is simply unheard of.

But soon, the shock on Gao Qiang's face was replaced by surprise.

Given Zhang Ziyang's absurd efficiency in absorbing crystal cores, as long as there are enough resources, he could probably upgrade to the preparatory stage nine stars in less than half a month.

I'm sure I'll break through within a month and become a full-fledged Tier 1 Card Master capable of exploring the rifts.

“Oh shit!”

Just then, a scream suddenly broke the silence.

However, Cai Kun, who was sitting next to Zhang Ziyang, noticed something was wrong.

When I opened my eyes, I found my hands were empty.

No, where is my crystal core?

Where did my huge crystal core go?

Cai Kun was taken aback and turned his head to look.

He then discovered that the crystal cores of the students around him were rapidly disintegrating, turning into pure energy that flowed into Zhang Ziyang's body as he meditated with his eyes closed.

Cai Kun immediately stopped in Bengbu, his face fell, and he began to hurl profanities:

"Holy crap, is Yang Ge's absorption efficiency even humanly possible? That's insanely incredible!"

His shout was like a rooster crowing.

It immediately woke up many students around.

Several people who were usually on good terms with each other frowned, just wanting Cai Kun to take them to the barbershop!

Turning his head, his facial expression instantly became quite interesting.

Soon, several people in the classroom began to chant the quintessence of Chinese culture in unison.

"Fuck you!"

"My crystal core's energy has been drained?"

"Is Zhang Ziyang's awakened soul card... a super-sized vacuum cleaner? It can suck up so much stuff!"

"Quickly, put away all the crystal cores, or Zhang Ziyang will suck them dry along with you!"

"Really? Then let's suck on some cows!"

"Damn it, you bastard, get away from me!"

……

In no time, the entire classroom was in complete chaos.

On the podium, Gao Qiang quickly raised his hand to speak:

"Students, calm down, and stay away from Zhang Ziyang. Don't get close to him! Otherwise, he might absorb all your crystal cores!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else, including Cai Kun, quickly got up and left their seats, crowding towards the front row.

Some people even scrambled to their feet, their faces filled with terror.

In just a short while, a large area around Zhang Ziyang was cleared up.

A group of people looked at Zhang Ziyang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, as if he were a monster.

This guy is a real psycho!

Gao Qiang told the students to calm down, and forcibly suppressed his own excitement as he walked alone towards Zhang Ziyang.

He was a second-tier card master, and his mental strength far surpassed that of these little guys who had just awakened their soul cards.

That's why, as Gao Qiang got closer, he realized how terrifying Zhang Ziyang was.

Absorbing a crystal core is like a glutton going to a buffet.

They were aiming to bankrupt the boss!

Gao Qiang walked over to Zhang Ziyang, coughed twice, and slammed his hand on the table.

"Zhang Ziyang, wake up!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Ziyang opened his eyes groggily, somewhat reluctant to leave.

Just now, the "qi" in his body was growing rapidly at a delightful pace!

In his mind, stars suddenly rose around the six golden soul cards, shimmering with golden light.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Just as the fifth star was about to condense, the energy suddenly ran out.

Without replenishment, the star-condensing process immediately stopped, which was extremely frustrating!

It's like a catheter being inserted halfway...

Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice of our homeroom teacher, Lao Gao.

When Zhang Ziyang opened his eyes, the scene before him surprised him slightly.

Apart from Lao Gao standing next to me, all the seats around me were empty!

Everyone rushed to the front of the stage, crowding together like chicks.

Not only that, but they all had strange looks in their eyes.

Especially Cai Kun and others.

There was a hint of...resentment in the way she looked at me?

Zhang Ziyang scratched his head.

No, what is going on?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Gao Qiang coughed twice and then explained the situation.

After hearing this, Zhang Ziyang slapped his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

He just wanted to absorb the crystal core to improve his strength, which makes perfect sense, right?

This situation is undeniably caused by anger.

If it were just a matter of mobilizing one's mental energy to resonate with the crystal core, one's absorption efficiency would be fast, but not to such an exaggerated degree.

But "qi" is different.

It is a product born from the high combination of spiritual power and willpower, and is extremely fierce and domineering!

Absorbing crystal cores was like Yan Song accepting gifts—he never refused any offer!

Zhang Ziyang composed himself, stood up, and apologized:

"Sorry everyone, this was my first time absorbing a crystal core, so I didn't have much experience and couldn't control my strength properly."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore strange expressions.

God? He couldn't control his strength for a moment.

Who among us hasn't done this for the first time?

You're truly exceptional, an absolute prodigy!

Meeting those gazes, Zhang Ziyang asked:

"Also, whose crystal cores did I accidentally absorb just now? Please raise your hands, and I'll compensate you right now!"

Soon, five students raised their hands.

For a genius like Zhang Ziyang, who receives significant national support and resources for his development, a first-order crystal core might not be much.

But they are different.

Because of their average qualifications, they receive less subsidies.

We really can't afford to lose even one.

Seeing Zhang Ziyang offer compensation, I felt relieved and also developed a lot of goodwill towards him.

Cai Kun didn't raise his hand and turned his head away, trying to fool them, but he was immediately seen through.

Under Gao Qiang's approving gaze, Zhang Ziyang picked up the box and walked over, distributing the crystal cores to the "victims" one by one, including Cai Kun.

Cai Kun was somewhat resistant and waved his hand, saying:

"Brother Yang, it's just a crystal core, there's no need to bother repairing it."

Zhang Ziyang's expression hardened, and he forcefully shoved the crystal core into his hand:

"You haven't even started making money yet, what are you acting like a big shot for?"

If you give me a crystal core, won't my uncle and aunt have to make up the difference when I get back?

If you earn money through your own abilities and give me a crystal core, then I won't be polite at all!

Cai Kun thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he didn't refuse anymore.

After finishing all this, Zhang Ziyang packed up his suitcase and walked up to his homeroom teacher, Lao Gao.

"Teacher Gao, if I continue to absorb crystal cores in the classroom, it may affect other students, so I would like to ask for leave to go to the training room."

Gao Qiang immediately nodded in agreement:

"No problem. The next month is the intensive period for the college entrance examination, and there are basically no classes at school. You can even practice at home. Just remember to ask for leave!"

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Gao."

After Zhang Ziyang finished speaking, he turned around, waved to Cai Kun, and left the classroom, heading straight for the training room.

Currently, most students in schools are absorbing crystal cores to enhance their strength.

The training room is probably quiet and not many people go there.

The place was spacious, and there were mechanical puppets to assist in training.

After absorbing the crystal core, it will be a good time to familiarize myself with the Soul Card and the three external cards that Wang Jiang comes with, and to test my true strength.
