Zhang Yuping went alone to the rooftop of the tallest science building on campus, weeping uncontrollably—she never imagined things would turn out this way. Holding her delicate pink cover, she took a deep breath and looked down from the 17th-floor rooftop, feeling deeply afraid. Yet Zhang Yuping remained fearless, steadily stepping outward, thinking that as long as she closed her eyes and took just one more step, she would be free. As she carried out her "redemption" plan, she felt someone gently pulling at her back. When she turned around, it was her close sister-in-arms, Chen Yuting. Chen Yuting stared at Zhang Yuping in disbelief, her heart aching, and said, "Do you really think this will truly free you? I believe you are innocent! If you yourself are innocent, why should you care about others' gossip?" "Yes! What am I doing? I only have three months left until the college entrance exam! If I truly do this, can I face my parents who have raised and nurtured me? No, I cannot. I must live on—must live!" Zhang Yuping, after all, was a diligent and ambitious student—right then, she realized how foolish she had been just moments before. She burst out laughing, giving Chen Yuting a punch and saying, "Thank you so much for your advice! I'll definitely make it! I'll become the most outstanding student at Hanhai No.1 High School!" "Then let's do it together!" Chen Yuting smiled warmly at Zhang Yuping, and the mutual care and strength between friends became evident in that moment. Gao Liang delivered a solid punch to an old wooden board against the classroom wall, just two centimeters thick. With a crisp "crack," the board split open along a crack. Amidst the students' stunned silence, Gao Liang dropped a sentence: "If anyone else dares to say a single bad word about Zhang Yuping again, don't expect my fists to recognize them!" Soon, the students who had previously been spreading cold remarks immediately quieted down, their faces filled with astonishment. They stammered, "Gao Liang, we promise—we won't do it again!" "That's good," Gao Liang replied. "In truth, I'm very pure, and Zhang Yuping is also completely innocent." He didn't feel the need to elaborate. As the students saw Gao Liang speaking so openly and sincerely, they began to genuinely believe in him. Zhang Yuping, observing the growing friendliness and respect in the students' eyes toward her, sighed with relief and remarked, "Today's air feels so fresh! I can even smell the jasmine flowers outside the window!" A single powerful punch had completely transformed the situation—Gao Liang felt deeply satisfied. Senior three has now entered its second round of comprehensive review, and studies are exceptionally intense. Yet Gao Liang still maintains an air of indifference. He dozes off in class, plays games—completely out of sync with this bustling academic atmosphere. Such an unconventional, troublesome student truly troubles the teachers. Liu Heigou pays no attention, listens to nothing, and simply leaves Gao Liang, the troublesome case, untouched and ignored. It seems clear that Gao Liang is genuinely uninterested in the monotonous studies. What, then, does Gao Liang actually care about? Upgrading his skills! Gao Liang longs for the days he spent at the Shaolin Temple. But can he go back? Gao Liang uses his brainwave consciousness to call out, "I want to return to the Yue Guang Bao He space!" At that moment, Ying'er appears, dancing gracefully beside him. Gao Liang blows his nose and glares at her, saying, "Ying'er, the master is always sitting in the classroom—it's unbearable! Please help me enter the space and instantly teleport me to the Shaolin Temple to upgrade my skills!" Ying'er shakes her head and says, " "Highlighted looked up in surprise, 'Wow! Skill level at 30, permission value at -10!' Ying'er explained the reason while Highlight was still stunned, 'Originally, when you upgraded at Shaolin Temple and mastered the Jade Fist, gaining your master, Hong Dafang,’s praise would award you 30 points, bringing your permission value exactly to zero. Additionally, yesterday you used the Jade Fist to defend your younger brother who was being bullied, defeating the opponent decisively—this alone earns you an additional 10 points!' 'Ying'er, then I should have earned 10 points, right? If I remember correctly, that should have qualified me for entry into the Yueguang Treasure Box space!' Highlight expressed his confusion. 'Master! The punch you delivered just now was exceptionally assertive. I detected through brainwave consciousness that many of your classmates had strong reservations about your behavior, though they were hesitant to voice them openly. Therefore, the Yueguang Treasure Box system has judged this boldness as a deduction of 10 points, resulting in a negative value!' Ying'er provided a detailed explanation, which from then on made Highlight more cautious about using the Jade Fist. "You've wasted ten points of physical energy for nothing! The system absolutely deducts points!" Ying'er's explanation left Gao Liang deeply regretful. It seemed now that he'd have to use his Jade Fist with more purpose, carefully considering the consequences before each punch. He was quite unhappy about being unable to enter the Yue Guang Treasure Box space. How could he possibly earn points for using the Jade Fist? Gao Liang rubbed his head, deeply thinking. After school, Gao Liang rushed off like a bird released from its cage, cheerful and eager. Class monitor Zhang Yупing and study monitor Dong Jiao called out together, "Gao Liang! You haven't turned in your homework yet!" "Tell Liu the Dog about it! I don't care either!" Gao Liang didn't even turn around, running faster than a rabbit. "He's truly beyond saving!" Zhang Yупing sighed once again. "Monitor! What should we do? This time, the principal specifically asked us to monitor Gao Liang's studies!" Dong Jiao expressed her concern. "This time, let's just overlook it. If this happens again next time, we'll raise the issue then!" Zhang Yuping really wanted to have a chat with Gao Liang. After all, as class president, she had a responsibility and obligation to support her classmates. At the Liangyuan Internet Café, the place was bustling with people, filled with smoke and activity. When the café’s manager, Ye Qian, a well-dressed young woman in a light, fresh outfit, saw Gao Liang arrive, a warm smile immediately spread across her face, saying, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you!” Gao Liang grinned and said, “I’m so cool! Aren’t you glad to see me?” “Stop acting all fancy!” Ye Qian didn’t register Gao Liang this time—she simply pointed to an empty seat and said, “Sit there. How long you want to stay, just stay that long!” “We’re not short on money!” Though Gao Liang was financially tight, he still wanted to appear generous in front of such a beautiful woman, so he pulled out ten yuan and dropped it on Ye Qian’s cash register. As he was about to walk past, four tough guys entered the café—tall, broad-shouldered, with suspicious glances. Seeing only What will happen next? Please keep reading the updated chapter tomorrow!
