Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

One class period is enough time for many people to know what happened at the end of the previous class.

Everyone initially thought Shen Bai was just asking Bai Qingqing a question, but now that they see Shen Bai openly chatting with Bai Qingqing again after class, how can they tolerate it?

Qian Kai was the first to step forward: "Qingqing, let me treat you to a cup of spiritual juice. Bailu Company has just released a new product called Hundred Flower Spiritual Juice, which is said to be very beneficial for the physical training of acquired martial artists."

"Thank you. I'd like to take advantage of the break to discuss the Spirit Gathering Array with Shen Bai more. It's a must-test topic in the college entrance examination every year."

Bai Qingqing politely declined, then turned to Shen Bai: "You just mentioned that the Spirit Gathering Array has a complex formation. How exactly is it set up?"

Shen Bai flashed a charming smile: "How about we go to the playground and chat as we walk? I've been in classes all morning, and my eyes are starting to hurt!"

"Me too! Perfect timing, let's go relax our eyes!"

Bai Qingqing's eyes narrowed into slits as she happily nodded in agreement.

What's going on? The school heartthrob finally got it today and actually wants to go to the playground to announce our relationship? Doesn't he know what it means for male and female students to go for a walk on the playground together?

In the end, she was still captivated by my charm?

[Ding! Jealousy from Qian Kai +3, current level 91!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Wang Wei +5, current level 68!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Jia Feng +3, current level 68!]

……

[Ding! Your rival Qian Kai's jealousy level has reached 90. You can extract one of his abilities.]

[Please choose one of the following three abilities from your rival, Qian Kai.]

[Ability 1: Perfect Level "Mighty Vajra Leg"]

[Skill 2: Basic Alchemy Knowledge]

[Skill 3: Basic Knowledge of Talismans]

[Note: The host can only draw abilities from rivals who are stronger than themselves, and each rival can be drawn a maximum of three times.]

"Another 20 points! Thank you so much, bro!"

Shen Bai happily accepted the perfect-level martial arts technique provided by Qian Kai. Before leaving the classroom, he didn't forget to give Qian Kai a thank-you smile.

"That bastard!"

Qian Kai slammed his fist on the desk in anger, thinking to himself, "Wait until the practical class this afternoon, I'll break your legs!"

Wang Wei and Jia Feng huddled up to Qian Kai: "I think this kid just needs a beating. We'll teach him a lesson in the practical class this afternoon!"

Acquired realm martial artists are full of energy and have overflowing hormones with nowhere to release them, so they naturally develop feelings for the opposite sex very early on. If it weren't for the need for everyone to maintain their primordial yang and yin to break through to the innate realm, it is estimated that many martial artists would have lost their virginity long ago.

To prevent students from having nowhere to vent their energy, the school set up practical classes, allowing students to release excess energy in these classes.

Some students with grudges often use practical classes to settle their scores.

But often, the grudges are not resolved, but instead become more and more complicated.

……

The school heartthrob Shen Bai rarely appeared on the playground, and he was even accompanied by a beautiful female classmate, which immediately attracted the attention of many female students who were strolling on the playground.

"What's going on? School heartthrob Shen Bai is dating? I haven't heard anything about that!"

"That's Bai Qingqing, their class beauty. Let's secretly follow them and listen to what they're talking about that makes them so happy!"

"Hey, isn't that school beauty An Li over there? How rare! To run into both the school beauty and the school heartthrob at the same time. You know, it's usually so difficult to even see both of them!"

……

The students around him were whispering among themselves, but Shen Bai didn't care at all. He had only come here to take advantage of the situation, but after chatting with Bai Qingqing for a while, he immediately realized that her understanding of formations was no less than his own.

Shen Bai was excited!

With a background in science and engineering, his favorite thing to do was to study these formations and circuits. Now that a girl was also very good at these things, he began to discuss his views on the Spirit Gathering Formation with Bai Qingqing with great interest.

While responding enthusiastically, Bai Qingqing was internally ranting: "My idol, you're not really here to talk to me about formations, are you? Don't you want to talk about something else? Like, do you think my dress looks good today?"

……

An Li was in a bad mood today because she was stumped by a difficult array problem. In desperation, she came to the playground for a walk to clear her head.

Having already reached the ninth level of the Day After Tomorrow realm, she keenly heard the commotion among her classmates on the playground and quickly located the source of the disturbance.

School heartthrob Shen Bai!

An Li had heard of this school heartthrob before, but she had never paid him any attention.

In An Li's view, without reaching the Qi Refining stage, any romantic relationships would only be a waste of one's life.

I will absolutely not date until I reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Forget about school heartthrobs and beauties; if they can't even reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, they'll all turn to ashes in a hundred years!

But this school heartthrob is really handsome!

Well-deserved name.

An Li glanced at Shen Bai a few times, pretending to be casual, and then looked at the female classmate next to him. She couldn't help but think to herself, "What terrible taste."

……

The three passed each other. Bai Qingqing watched as Shen Bai talked incessantly about the Spirit Gathering Array, ignoring the school beauty walking by. She was secretly delighted.

Sure enough, I'm even more charming than the school beauty.

"...Ordinary spirit-gathering arrays, while stable, suffer from low efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy. However, with composite spirit-gathering arrays, we can consider shortening the loop, reducing the number of circuit nodes, and lowering energy consumption. Furthermore, we can incorporate a conveying array commonly used in range hoods to accelerate the circulation of spiritual energy and reduce the time that spiritual energy remains in the array..."

Then, drawing inspiration from the energy-gathering arrays commonly used in stoves, an additional energy-gathering array is added to the foundation of spirit gathering, thereby enabling the efficient use of the spiritual energy absorbed by the spirit-gathering array…”

An Li had assumed Shen Bai was flirting with the girl next to him, but she never expected to overhear a discussion about how to improve the efficiency of a spirit-gathering array using a complex array formation. This gave her a sudden insight.

Isn't this the same problem that stumped me this morning?

Originally intending to leave, An Li inexplicably turned a corner and followed behind the two.

They were all martial artists at the Acquired Realm, so they were naturally very sensitive to the movements around them.

Bai Qingqing couldn't help but turn around and glance back, only to see the school beauty An Li walking a step behind them.

Shen Bai, who was talking non-stop, paused for a moment, turned his head and looked around, and his eyes lit up.

The woman before me had long, flowing, jet-black hair that cascaded down her back. Her beautiful, fair face was framed by two obsidian-like eyes that shone brightly. A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth revealed a confident smile. Her figure was curvaceous, tall, and strong.

"Who are you?"

Shen Bai's brain was a little slow to process what was happening.

An Li introduced herself confidently: "My name is An Li, and I'm in Class 3-1. I'd heard before that you were very good at humanities subjects, but I didn't expect you to have such deep thoughts on spirit gathering arrays. May I join in the discussion?"

[Ding! One rival detected, jealousy level 60. When the rival's jealousy level reaches 80, you can extract one of their abilities.]

[Ding! Jealousy from Shan Jin +3, current level 63!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Shapu +3, current level 63!]

[Ding! Hu Chang's jealousy level increased by 5, currently at 65!]

……

Looking at the dense array of prompts in front of him, Shen Bai was stunned for the second time.

What's going on? 32 rivals for his affections?

I haven't even started my greasy flirting techniques yet!

I just said hello casually, how did it suddenly alert the system?
