Chapter 8: It Feels a Little Strange

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It wasn’t that Liu Chuan hadn’t thought of going to dimensional zones to level up over the past few days. Instead, he still felt that there was a huge problem with the Soul Residence.

“It’s too dangerous. I’d better not go.”

He had a certain feeling that there was something mysterious and unknown in the depths of the Soul Residence.

Although riches could only be obtained from danger, now that he had obtained the cultivation technique, cultivating the technique was a good choice.

For the next few days, Liu Chuan practiced diligently without even going to school.

It was often said that there was never enough time for cultivation. Liu Chuan now had some experience of this.

What did you say? Did he need to study?

Sorry, but with the system, he could do whatever he wanted.

After Liu Chuan discovered that the system had a function that allowed him to extract knowledge, he spent a few hours extracting what he should and should not learn in school.

Although physical fitness was important in the martial arts exam, one’s results in the cultural class were also important. Right now, the knowledge in his mind was enough to deal with the martial arts exam. What was most important now was cultivation.

While resting, he went to look for Wang Meng to see how his cultivation was.

However, he later discovered that Wang Meng’s door was tightly shut. Wang Meng was probably still cultivating, so he didn’t disturb him.

…

A few days later, Liu Chuan felt that his cultivation had stabilized, so he prepared to return to school.

He had some questions that he wanted to ask Liu Guoqiang. Thus, he asked his form teacher for a long-term leave.

After arriving at the school, Liu Chuan walked straight to the principal’s office. When he arrived, he realized that Liu Guoqiang was not there. Brother Wang was not there either.

As he did not have their contact information, he could only give up and return to the classroom first.

When he reached the classroom, Old Li was still in class. Liu Chuan didn’t want to disturb the class and wanted to wait until class ended before entering.

However, some students with sharp eyes noticed Liu Chuan leaning against the railing of the corridor. Everyone in the classroom started whispering to each other.

After all, both Liu Chuan and Wang Meng were famous people in school. They had disappeared for more than a week after the mock test. Thus, the students in class were also curious about their recent whereabouts.

“Look, Liu Chuan has returned to school.”

“He’s over there, right at the door.”

…

Upon seeing this, Old Li also noticed Liu Chuan outside the door. After coughing and calling out for silence, he walked out and greeted him.

Liu Chuan was a little embarrassed. Although he did not hide, he was still discovered. He was afraid that Old Li would think that he did not want to attend his class on purpose.

As soon as Liu Chuan entered the classroom, everyone’s gazes were fixed on him, making even him feel a little embarrassed.

“Alright, go back to your seat and listen to the class first. If there’s anything, I’ll see you after class,” said Old Li.

Liu Chuan nodded and walked towards his table.

When he passed by Lin Sisi, he saw that Lin Sisi was also looking at him. A strange look flashed across her beautiful eyes at this moment. The usually indifferent Lin Sisi did not seem calm either.

Liu Chuan smiled politely and walked to his table while minding his own business.

Old Li didn’t do anything else because of Liu Chuan’s arrival. He still followed the lesson plan and left after class.

The moment class ended, everyone surrounded Liu Chuan and started asking him questions.

It wasn’t easy for Liu Chuan to lie, but it wasn’t easy for him to mention his experiences openly. Thus, he could only chatter nonsense and speak in vague terms.

At this moment, Lin Sisi walked forward and whispered to Liu Chuan, “I heard that Wang Meng is going to the army. Did you know?”

Liu Chuan was stunned when he heard Lin Sisi’s question.

What was going on? Wang Meng was going to the army?

He could not help but wonder why he did not know.

“Yeah, I think Wang Meng came to school yesterday, but he didn’t come to the classroom. I heard that he was taken away by someone.”

“I saw it. It was someone wearing the uniform of the Federal army.”

“I saw it too. I saw Wang Meng get into a car.”

“Liu Chuan, don’t you know? We thought you wouldn’t be taking the martial arts exam and would be joining the army.”

…

Liu Chuan was completely confused at this moment. He felt that he was the last to know about this.

This time, he did not continue to exchange pleasantries with his classmates. He had to find Old Li. Old Li must know something.

Old Li seemed to know that Liu Chuan was looking for him. He was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea and sipping it. Seeing that Liu Chuan had come, he invited Liu Chuan to sit down.

Old Man Li took out a disposable plastic cup at a steady pace and poured water for Liu Chuan.

“Wang Meng did go to the army and left yesterday. He told me to tell you not to worry about him. He will definitely make a name for himself this time,” said Old Li slowly.

“Then why didn’t he tell me himself?” Liu Chuan asked doubtfully.

Old Li took another sip of tea before saying slowly, “His phone was broken.”

Liu Chuan was speechless.

“It’s true. His phone is with me. Go and take it to be repaired, then use it yourself.” Old Man Li took out a phone from the drawer.

Liu Chuan took the phone and saw that it was indeed Wang Meng’s Five-Star mobile phone. However, the screen was broken, so there should be something wrong with the internal screen.

Liu Chuan was instantly speechless.

“He left in a hurry yesterday, so he didn’t have the time to contact you. It was Wang Guangzheng who led the team and took him away. The principal also followed him and said he was going to see his old comrade.” Old Man Li poured himself another cup of tea.

Wang Guangzheng? Was that Brother Wang?

Liu Chuan wanted to ask why Wang Meng wanted to go to the army, but Old Li waved his hand and said he didn’t know. He only said that Wang Guangzheng had also said that he had misjudged Wang Meng and that Wang Meng was a true genius.

Then, Wang Meng was taken away.

Liu Chuan had a rough understanding of what had happened. Although it was incomplete, he could roughly guess the entire process.

Wang Meng must have asked Liu Guoqiang some questions about cultivation after he had finished his training. Then, Wang Meng must have shown extraordinary talent in cultivation and was discovered by Liu Guoqiang and Wang Guangzheng. That was why the military had come early to snatch him from the school.

However, Liu Chuan felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he could not say what was strange about it.

Yes, it was too sudden and too coincidental.

However, there was nothing Liu Chuan could do now. With his current ability, there was nothing he could do. He could only let nature take its course.

However, with Liu Guoqiang around, Wang Meng would definitely be fine. Thinking of this, Liu Chuan calmed down.

Before he left, he even asked Old Man Li for a long leave. Old Li approved without thinking.

After leaving the school, Liu Chuan suddenly felt a little lonely. After coming to this world, he didn’t have a single relative by his side. He only had this childhood friend to accompany him.

Now that he was alone, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

When he got home, Liu Chuan called his father again, but his father was still not in the service area.

After not contacting him for so long, he was really a little worried that something had happened to his father. However, he had received the allowance for this month two days ago. This made Liu Chuan feel a little more at ease..
