Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

"No worries, the way he is, he's bound to get his comeuppance sooner or later." Duan Shigang asserted.

"What comeuppance?"

Duan Shigang replied casually: "Of course, it's the torment from Pang Jiao and her gang."

Liu Chuandao: "Hahaha, that kid is so pitiful!"

Thinking about the scene Yan Tianpeng described from class 8 earlier, Liu Chuandao couldn't help but chuckle, "Getting entangled with Pang Jiao is the biggest disaster of his life!"

However, after saying this, Liu Chuandao suddenly recalled that he himself seemed to have been tormented by Pang Jiao too.

Instantly, his laughter ceased, and his expression turned serious.

Duan Shigang: "Let me introduce a fierce warrior to you, to give Ah Wei some trouble."

Liu Chuandao: "Who?"

"Cui Yu."

...

Before class.

Zhang Chi brought a hand gripper and was discussing heroes in the back row over some homemade liquor. He had borrowed this hand gripper from Yan Tianpeng.

Even though Zhang Chi was a quasi-sports student, there was still a significant gap between him and the 1.9-meter tall, over 200-pound, exceptionally gifted Yan Tianpeng. Ordinary training couldn't bridge the gap.

Zhang Chi gripped the hand gripper, exerting all his strength, his arm muscles tensing, but the hand gripper didn't budge a bit.

Upon seeing this, Duan Shigang said, "Is it that hard to squeeze?"

"Wanna try?" Zhang Chi handed over the hand gripper.

He held Duan Shigang's strength in some regard. Fоr а bеttеr rеаding еxpеriеnсе, visit М(VLЕМРYR).

Duan Shigang took the hand gripper, stood upright, and exerted force, focusing all his strength on the base of his thumb, yet the hand gripper still didn't move.

After several attempts, the hand gripper showed no response.

He turned it back and forth, looking at it puzzled, "Is this thing fake?"

Zhang Chi said, "It's said to be a 100kg hand gripper."

Hu Jun didn't believe it: "So small, 100kg?"

"That's what Yan Tianpeng said," Zhang Chi replied.

Soon, after some discussion, the hand gripper passed through the hands of many classmates in the class.

At this age, most of the boys were hot-blooded and eager to prove themselves. If others couldn't do it, but they could, wouldn't that make them seem very strong?

Guo Kunnan, Dan Kaiquan, Cui Yu, Wu Xiaoqi, and even Huang Yuzhu also took on the challenge, and without exception, they all met with miserable defeat under this so-called 100kg hand gripper.

Chai Wei finished the dinner brought by a female classmate and felt much better, like he had been healed.

Coincidentally, Pang Jiao came again to question him, asking why he let others bring him food and if his legs hadn't healed yet.

Faced with the aggressive and overbearing Pang Jiao, Chai Wei was at a loss for words, and in the end, Pang Jiao pitifully vowed to prepare him a love-packed breakfast the next morning, then ran off shyly.

Leaving Chai Wei in his seat: "Damn, shit!"

Unknowingly, the hand gripper made its way to the front rows, landing in Song Sheng's hands.

Song Sheng, who prided himself as a strongman, began the challenge. His current bench press record had broken through to 90kg.

Yet, faced with Yan Tianpeng's hand gripper, he still couldn't make it budge, unless he used both hands.

Dong Qingfeng, Chen Qian, and Wang Yong all failed the challenge. In contrast, the seemingly simple-minded Dan Xiao was actually able to move it slightly, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.

Amidst the chaos, the area around Xue Yuantong remained peaceful, the pre-class bell rang, and it was time for a nap.

She nudged Jiang Ning with her elbow, saying: "Quick, shoot me!"

Jiang Ning listened, raised his right hand, and mimed a pistol with his thumb and forefinger, going "biu" right at Xue Yuantong's head.

Xue Yuantong, hit by the imaginary shot, immediately lay down and fell asleep.

Jiang Ning blew at the non-existent gun smoke.

Bai Yuxia, amused by the two's interaction, said: "Isn't she sleeping a bit too early?"

"Let her be; she won't wake up anyways."

Bai Yuxia called out: "Tongtong, Tongtong?"

Xue Yuantong was deep in sleep, showing no response.

"She fell asleep quite quickly." Bai Yuxia murmured softly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning said: "You can't wake someone pretending to sleep."

Upon these words, Bai Yuxia's pale face slightly squinted her eyes, "Hmm?"

She took a box of sweets out from her desk hole, gently lifted the lid, letting the osmanthus fragrance drift out.

Bai Yuxia, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, glanced sideways and shot Jiang Ning a sideways glance, replying: "I don't believe it."

Meanwhile, her eyes sparkled, raising her brows slightly, and her eyes, as if shrouded in mist, contained an enchanting allure.

Xue Yuantong was immediately captured.

Jiang Ning: "...truly has no self-control."

The three of them were fine with their usual interactions, but when the nearby Chai Wei saw them, he was bewitched by Bai Yuxia to the core. In his sixteen or seventeen years, he had never seen a girl like Bai Yuxia.

Compared to the ordinary girls he had encountered before, Bai Yuxia's astonishing beauty exceeded theirs a hundredfold!

It was frustrating that such a wonderful girl never bloomed for him, rather she would chat with Jiang Ning all day.

Why!

Amongst the masses, he was just a pawn, yet I, Chai Wei, am the real player!

In terms of vision, Jiang Ning cannot compare to him.

In terms of strategy, Jiang Ning is not as good as him.

What aspect is he better than me?

Chai Wei is not reconciled!

Just as he was extremely angry, Dan Xiao came with a grip strength device, smiling honestly and sincerely: "We've already played, seems like you haven't tried it yet?"

Chai Wei was paying attention to the grip strength device.

Dan Xiao explained: "Currently, in our class, no one can conquer the grip strength device with one hand, it's said to be 100kg!"

Song Sheng cast a glance, he particularly focused on the strong ones in the class.

"No one in the whole class can squeeze it?" Chai Wei asked again.

Song Sheng glanced over Chai Wei's physique and said disdainfully: "You can't do it."

The furious Chai Wei was enraged by Song Sheng's attitude and words.

"I can't do it?"

His right hand tightly gripped the grip strength device, determined to prove himself and shock everyone despite his anger and frustration, he muttered:

"Let me show you!"

With that said, Chai Wei squeezed hard, and the next second, it was like gripping steel.

Obviously, in extreme anger, one cannot squeeze a 100kg grip strength device.

"Ah!" Chai Wei's face turned red from the strain, still not succeeding.

Song Sheng: "Heh."

"Let the next person try."

Chai Wei brought this humiliation upon himself.

Xue Yuantong was savoring the sweet-scented osmanthus yogurt gifted by Bai Yuxia, watching the performances of others.

Bai Yuxia curiously asked: "Jiang Ning, can you squeeze it?"

Xue Yuantong immediately said: "He can squeeze 10 of them!"

The moment he said this, Chai Wei, who had just suffered a big defeat, jumped out to oppose: "Him squeezing 10 of them? What a joke?"

Chai Wei knew deeply how heavy that grip strength device was, he felt that even if he doubled his strength, he still couldn't squeeze the grip strength device.

Xue Yuantong said nothing.

Jiang Ning: "I can indeed squeeze 10 of them."

Chai Wei couldn't hold back anymore, the blow he faced and the betrayal of the woman he loved made his voice sharp:

"If you can squeeze 10 of them, I'll dare to jump from the outside!"

Jiang Ning: "There's no need for that."

Chai Wei thought he got scared, pressing aggressively: "Let me see you squeeze 10 of them!"

Song Sheng, watching from the sidelines, announced: "Chai Wei and Jiang Ning are betting on the grip strength device!"

There was no class yet, Jiang Ning was quite well-known in the class, and many male classmates came over to join the excitement.

Soon, the corridor was filled with a crowd of people.

Chai Wei provoked again: "Didn't you say you could squeeze 10 of them? I'm telling you, if you can squeeze 10 of them, I'll immediately jump from the building!"

Cui Yu: "Brother Ning, show us a trick!"

Guo Kunnan: "Show us a trick!"

"Show us a trick!" someone heckled.

Geng Lu, sitting at the back, knew Jiang Ning's strength better than anyone, she placed one hand on Jiang Ning's shoulder, showing her support.

Jiang Ning originally didn't want to show off, but there were too many people.

He took the grip strength device, his hand grasped it.

Instantly, all eyes were on him.

In the classroom, Shen Qing'e continued writing exercises, ignoring everything, Jiang Yanan nudged her: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Shen Qing'e acted nonchalantly: "It has nothing to do with me."

"Alright, as expected of you, Qing'e."

Jiang Ning held the grip strength device, Wang Longlong lifted a book tube, narrating: "I will be the one counting now!"

Jiang Ning's hand clenched, and the grip strength device, said to be 100kg, began to contract with his movement.

"Wow, it's moving!"

"It's moving! Guo Kunnan exclaimed excitedly, he really squeezed it.

Chai Wei's face was grim, yet he still had hope in his heart, it was only 1, his requirement was 10!

Jiang Ning started to squeeze the grip strength device, Wang Longlong counted: "1, 2, 3."

"4, 5, 6…" By this point, not only Wang Longlong, but even Cui Yu and the others started shouting, their voices mixed together, creating a grand momentum!

"7, 8…" Jiang Ning's movements were too easy, the 100kg grip strength device was almost effortless in his hands.

Until he squeezed the 9th one, Chai Wei's expression became extremely ugly, he was doomed to lose.

The people nearby were waiting to watch the show.

And just as Jiang Ning finished squeezing the 9th one, he placed the grip strength device on the desk and smiled: "I can't squeeze it anymore."

As soon as he said this, all the surrounding classmates looked astonished, "How is it possible, he obviously had a lot more strength."

Only Bai Yuxia's eyes showed reflection, gradually glowing, compared to the narrow-minded Chai Wei, Jiang Ning was on a completely different level.
