School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Xiao Han, this time I will definitely surpass you!" Jiang Xiaoliang threw down the gauntlet.

Xiao Han glanced at Jiang Xiaoliang, with Chen Zihan standing between them. Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han and smiled, "Xiao Han, keep it up, you can definitely do it."

"Jiang Xiaoliang, if your scores surpass mine, I'll give you back the seat next to Chen Zihan!" Xiao Han replied disdainfully.

"Alright, you said it!" Jiang Xiaoliang was pleased, not afraid that Xiao Han was unwilling, but afraid that Xiao Han wouldn't agree. As long as Xiao Han agreed, he would have a chance to turn things around. With that thought, Jiang Xiaoliang couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't help but glance at Chen Zihan.

This glance deeply disappointed Jiang Xiaoliang because he saw Chen Zihan gazing at Xiao Han, and the two of them were exchanging meaningful looks. This really annoyed Jiang Xiaoliang. He secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what, he had to win Chen Zihan back from Xiao Han. As a man, he should firmly defend his dignity. How could the woman he likes be taken away by another man?

That was absolutely unacceptable and impossible.

The three of them all sat in the first row, truly advancing side by side.

Liu Jinmei entered the classroom with two proctors and scanned the room.

"Students, this is the last mock exam of the year." Liu Jinmei looked at everyone and continued, "I hope everyone can achieve their true potential. Since cheating is not possible in college entrance exams, cheating in mock exams is absolutely useless."

Everyone looked up at Liu Jinmei.

The test papers were distributed.

Jiang Xiaoliang glanced at the paper and immediately felt confident. The questions in the Chinese paper were similar to the ones he had practiced repeatedly, presenting no real difficulty. Therefore, in his heart, Jiang Xiaoliang felt very confident. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Xiao Han, but saw Xiao Han looking worriedly at the paper.

This delighted him, as it was exactly the outcome he needed. If Xiao Han found the paper difficult, it meant he definitely couldn't score high. Resolution set, Jiang Xiaoliang bent down and started to concentrate on his exam.

Xiao Han stared at the paper, his worried expression not because the paper was too difficult, but because of the essay topic about statements regarding fathers. This reminded Xiao Han of the poignant memories of his father, who had passed away a few years ago, leaving a profound imprint in Xiao Han's memories.

Although he had a myriad of thoughts about his father, when it came to expressing them, he was at a loss for words. It seemed he had an abundance of things to say, but nowhere to release them.

Xiao Han sat silently at his desk.

Yes, the essay topic had plunged Xiao Han into an abyss of despair. No matter how many times he tried, no matter how hard he struggled, he found himself sinking deeper and deeper.

Chen Zihan finished the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions and slightly lifted her head, only to notice a problem—Xiao Han was silent. She realized that Xiao Han was just sitting there, not uttering a word. What was most troubling was that he hadn't even touched his pen.

"Xiao Han!" Chen Zihan couldn't help calling out.

Xiao Han still didn't say a word.

Teacher Liu also seemed to notice something was wrong with Xiao Han. She walked over to him with furrowed brows and asked with concern, "Xiao Han, what's wrong?"

"I…," Xiao Han felt somewhat at a loss.

"Is something bothering you?" Teacher Liu asked.

"No!" Xiao Han shook his head.

"Then you..." Teacher Liu looked at him curiously.

"I don't want to do this anymore!" Xiao Han suddenly stood up and said, "I'm handing in my paper!"

Having said that, he quickly walked out of the classroom.

Wow...

The classroom erupted into whispers, everyone instinctively watched Xiao Han's retreating figure until he was gone. Chen Zihan almost reflexively stood up, wanting to follow him, but she quickly realized that this was an exam setting, and if she ran out, it would mean the end of her own exam.

"What... what happened?"

"What's wrong with Xiao Han?" Your next chapter awaits on empire

"Who knows?"

Most people were baffled, and at that moment, Li Dapang, seeing this, hastily dropped his pen and quickly stood up, exclaiming, "I'm also done, I'm handing in my paper too."

Having said that, he quickly ran out.

Rustling...

The scene immediately burst into chaos, and everyone looked at the classroom door with their eyes wide and mouths agape. The exam had just begun, and already two people had handed in their papers. Wasn't that absurd? Xiao Han was originally the rising star of Class Three, Grade Twelve, and now he was abandoning the exam. He had carried the great hopes of Liu Jinmei and Li Hengzhong.

"Xiao Han!" Liu Jinmei snapped out of her shock and quickly chased after him.

But by the time she got outside, she found Xiao Han had already disappeared without a trace.

When Liu Jinmei returned to the classroom, she found it in complete disarray. Her face ashen, she said, "Everyone be quiet; the exam continues."

"Teacher Liu, aren't this time's Chinese language questions too difficult?" Jiang Xiaoliang deliberately stirred up trouble, saying, "Even Xiao Han was stumped. How are we supposed to take this exam?"

"Haha..." Laughter filled the classroom.

"Those who don't want to take the exam, get out!" Liu Jinmei declared.

The room fell immediately silent, and everyone lowered their heads and resumed working on the questions. Liu Jinmei went to the classroom door and looked outside, but she couldn't spot Xiao Han and Li Dapang. She so hoped that Xiao Han would appear within her sight and that she could persuade him to come back and continue the exam.

Although it was only a mock test, it also represented one's attitude toward the college entrance examination. If one didn't take the mock test seriously, who could guarantee they would take the college entrance exam seriously?

Unfortunately, from the beginning of the exam until it ended, Liu Jinmei never saw Xiao Han.

By the shore of Lizhi Lake at Linjiang No.1 Middle School.

Xiao Han was lying on the grass. Beside him, Li Dapang was seated cross-legged on the grass, biting on a piece of it, and laughed, "Man, are you out of your mind? The exam just started, and you ran off? You don't want to be first anymore?"

"Ranking isn't important to me!" Xiao Han said, his eyes on the clear blue sky overhead. Clear, but cold.

"Uh..." Li Dapang gave a bitter smile and said, "True, you have the right to say that now. A few million in assets, for any high school student, that's quite admirable. But you are still going to take the college entrance exam, right?"

"Of course!" Xiao Han nodded. The college entrance exam was his actual goal. However, Xiao Han had another thought in his mind. If today were the college entrance exam, would he still have been unable to control his emotions and fled from the examination hall like he had today?

Xiao Han suddenly felt some fear. He didn't know when it started, but he couldn't control his emotions. Could it have been from the moment his brain had awakened? Xiao Han knew too little about his own body. Since his father's death, Xiao Han found that his body seemed to be sealed by some force.

That seal instantly broke two months ago when Liao Zhijie threw him into a flower pond, liberating his body and granting him a mysterious power. No one knew what it was, or what kind of impact this power would have on his body.

Xiao Han swallowed his saliva. It seemed he couldn't control his emotions. Just like when he ran out of the classroom, his body simply didn't obey him. His brain seemed to be easily controlled by his emotions. Without heeding anything, he had rushed out of the classroom.

It wasn't until he reached the shores of Lizhi Lake that Xiao Han gradually calmed down.

"That's good!" Li Dapang nodded and said, "I was just worried that you'd have the same issue during the college entrance exam as you did today. That would be troublesome."

"It's you who has the issue!" Xiao Han retorted.

Li Dapang's lips curled up slightly and he said, "I bet you're sick, damn it. I don't know when it started, but you've changed completely, as if you've been reborn. Not only have your exam scores shot up, but your kung fu has gone from scrappy techniques to first-class skills. I've even heard you've surpassed Chen Chen in the hundred-meter dash..."

"Chen Chen!" Xiao Han interjected.

"Right!" Li Dapang nodded and said, "Damn, that guy is a freak. He holds the high school group hundred-meter dash record in Linjiang. I've heard his record has already matched the Linjiang city's all-comers record. You made Liu Jinmei and the head of the sports department nearly come to blows. Haha..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Han couldn't help but glare at him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What exactly happened to you today?" Li Dapang asked curiously.

"Nothing!" Xiao Han shook his head.

"Xiao Han, do you really consider me a brother?" Li Dapang quickly shuffled closer, saying, "If you do, tell me honestly. How did you suddenly run out of the exam hall?"

"Because of the essay topic!" Xiao Han replied.

"The essay topic?" Li Dapang became anxious, suddenly regretting not having paid serious attention to the essay question. He thought about going back to check, but he figured Liu Jinmei would kill him. So Li Dapang restrained his impulse. "What question?"

"The essay topic was about fathers," Xiao Han sighed and said, "words you wish to say to your father."

"Ah?!" Li Dapang was stunned.

No wonder. Xiao Han's father had died several years ago in a bizarre car accident. That accident also caused Xiao Han's grades to plummet, and he became gloomy and withdrawn as if he was isolated from the world. Xiao Han and his father had a deep bond, and they were like best friends as much as father and son.

As Xiao Han's childhood friend and close companion, Li Dapang knew deeply that his father had been a lighthouse in Xiao Han's life, both a teacher and a friend.
