Chapter 5: Eight Trigram 02

Chapter 5

[I thought you would max out Shen Qiuyi's hatred bar.]

[Just some petty tricks, not enough to max it out.]

"Yan Xi, which school did you transfer from?" Guan Yongyan couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore and asked. There were too many people around last night, so she didn't have a chance. She was also worried it would be too abrupt to ask the beauty last night after adding her.

After all, Yan Xi looked like a young lady, and kept quite a distance.

Several female classmates crowded around Yan Xi, curious to hear her response.

Yan Xi used the chocolate to quickly bridge the gap with the female classmates. Friendships form fast during the student days - a bottle of water, a piece of chocolate, a tissue, that's all it takes. Of course, they fade just as quickly too.

"I went to high school in a small, underdeveloped city. You probably haven't heard of that school. By the way, what were you guys just talking about?" Yan Xi cleverly turned the question around.

"Oh, you mean that! We were talking about Qi Shi and Zhou Zhou." Guan Yongyan replied.

No kidding, did you think I wouldn't hear you guys shrieking so loudly?

That's what she thought, but her expression remained unchanged as she looked at Guan Yongyan to continue.

"Qi Shi and Zhou Zhou are the two biggest male deities of Grade 11. Handsome with money and great physique! Zhou Zhou is even in our class - the one who sat still behind Tu Qingluan all morning without moving a muscle, sleeping through the entire morning."

"Zhou Zhou is super good-looking!" Some fangirls beside shrieked.

Of course she remembered, the one who came back in the morning looking like he was possessed after getting beaten up. That tall guy, right? Various images of him flashed through Yan Xi's mind.

"They got into a fight in the alley behind the west teaching block yesterday, apparently over..." Guan Yongyan paused for dramatic effect.

"Hmm?"

"Over Ji Yao."

"Ji Yao?"

"Ji Yao is the class flower of Class 2 next door, voted as the grade's goddess. Very innocent looking, quite popular with the guys. Her personality is..." Guan Yongyan didn't get to finish as she got cut off.

"I don't believe male deities Zhou Zhou and Qi Shi would be with Ji Yao, much less fight over a girl." A girl with short hair beside flushed.

"Oh ho ho!" The other girls started jeering.

Any discerning eye could tell this girl with short hair liked Qi Shi.

But Qi Shi was so popular with the girls. At least 3 out of 10 girls you run into in the corridors of Qingteng High would have a thing for Qi Shi. Of the remaining 7, another 3 were interested in Zhou Zhou. The last 4 were study nerds obsessed with academics.

"Crap, hurry up and change! If we're late, Da Wang will slaughter us!" Looking at the clock in the changing room, Guan Yongyan yelled anxiously.

The reminder jolted the girls into action as they hurried to change into their sports attire.

"Don't forget sunscreen! You didn't apply it evenly, Guan Yongyan! Don't pull me so hard!" The girl with short hair shouted.

The girls who were done changing rushed out, those who ran faster pulling along those slower.

As for Yan Xi, she had already started laying out her clothes when they were gossiping earlier. She was very efficient and was the first to dash out, done changing long before they finished their chat.

But mid-run, people still overtook her.

[Panpan, what the heck! Why is my physical fitness so bad?! I used to run 800m without breaking a sweat.] Yan Xi's breathing grew ragged.

[It's normal for your physique to be adjusted together with the skin when you take on a new one. This is expected.] Pandora replied calmly.

[What's the highest physique possible for skins in your shop? Don't tell me they are all wimps.]

[No upper limit. Skins can actually be customized, but firstly, your level isn't high enough, and secondly, your Extremes aren't enough.]

By the time Yan Xi and the girls arrived at the gym panting, Da Wang had been waiting for a while. The guys had also assembled, and Yan Xi saw Shen Qiuyi and a minority of girls already in neat formation.

From afar, standing in orderly rows.

"Can my lesson be late? Awesome huh! Don't force my hand or I'll get your form teacher to switch your PE lessons to English lessons. Let's see you slip out of those!" Da Wang looked at the late girls with a half-smile that wasn't a smile.

The late girls looked at one another sheepishly, not daring to make a peep.

The guys also started getting antsy. No PE lessons would be a disaster!

"Da Wang, you can't do this!"

"Da Wang, don't take away our PE lessons!"

"My love for PE lessons utterly collapsed today. Fatherly love is as tall as a mountain!"

"Quiet, rascals! From now, girls run 3 rounds, guys run 5 rounds!" Da Wang was furious.

"Da Wang, do we have to run too even if we weren't late?"

"Teacher Wang, unfair!"

"Keep whining and I'll add 2 more rounds for the guys and 1 more for the girls." Da Wang added ruthlessly, pointing at the outer lane of the basketball court.

"......"

200m per round, so 600m right?

Yan Xi felt her heart tear. She had just sprinted here, and now this?

To run or not to run?

She could always fake a stomachache. But...

[Taser services available, 10 Extremes per use.]

[Go ahead, I believe you can make it in this business, Panpan.]

[Then good luck to you.]

It was only her first day here, she shouldn't appear so delicate at the very least.

Yan Xi decided to run in the end.

The girls and guys stood by the track looking utterly miserable.

Dong Yaya nudged Yan Xi. "Yan Xi, you good?"

Seeing how ghostly pale Yan Xi was, panting heavily with the radiance gone from her beautiful fox eyes, Dong Yaya came over to check on her.

"I'm fine. You and Shen Qiuyi were so fast just now."

"What use is being fast when we still get implicated by certain people to run penalty rounds?" Shen Qiuyi mocked from the side, glancing at Yan Xi occasionally.

Her words immediately sparked public outrage.

The girls and guys who weren't late looked towards them with some resentment, victimized for no reason. In the entire class, only two people seemed unaffected.

One was Zhou Zhou who had been fiddling with a basketball standing by himself, seemingly oblivious to Da Wang's words.

The second was none other than Classmate Tu Qingluan, who mimicked a shooting pose...

Before Yan Xi could react, a basketball flew straight at her...

"Yan Xi!"

"Beauty Yan!"

Everyone exclaimed.

Despite reacting quickly upon hearing the shouts and dodging sideways, the surprise basketball still struck Yan Xi's calf.

Her fair calf immediately flushed an angry red as tears of pain welled up. Yan Xi couldn't even stand steadily, the pain was so great.

Yan Xi let out a muffled groan.

[This body is too pathetic. Panpan, it hurts so much~]

[Want me to give you 10 minutes of pain blocking for 10 Extremes? Thanks in advance!]

[Yu the Great (Yu)'s father (Gun) thanks!]

"Tu Qingluan, what's wrong with you?! Yan Xi, you okay?" Guan Yongyan yelled. She was the fieriest one in class, daring to retort anyone.

Guan Yongyan's impression of Yan Xi was rather good. The other girls who received chocolate from her also quickly stood by Yan Xi's side.

While Shen Qiuyi didn't join in, her gaze kept unconsciously shifting to Yan Xi's injury.

Everyone crowded around Yan Xi, leaving Da Wang with no room to speak. He could only squeeze through to take a look at Yan Xi's injury - the fair skin was an angry red, somewhat bruised. Da Wang frowned. "Anyone can take her to the infirmary?"

Hearing that, many guys grew eager. A chance to get on the good side of a beauty and skip penalty rounds! Someone was about to volunteer when he got shoved aside.

To everyone's surprise, the culprit slowly made his way over and did something unexpected - he carried Yan Xi directly.

"Why didn't you add me last night?" Tu Qingluan whispered next to Yan Xi's ear.
