CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: MATCHMAKING, FURIOUS LITTLE YA

"Prepare well; don’t let anyone down."

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng’s change of expression, Hong Lixin became even more convinced that Chen Duling would completely change Zhang Lingfeng’s cultivation attitude, making him rapidly grow.

"Okay."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

He quickly found the original owner’s memories about Chen Duling.

"So it’s unrequited love!"

"One is in the Outer Ring City, and the other in the Inner Ring City. How can you possibly match each other?"

Zhang Lingfeng sighed inwardly.

In the original owner’s memories,

During the alien race invasion, Chen Duling’s parents seized an opportunity, rapidly becoming Elemental Martial Artists with a combat power exceeding 30.0. Two months later, they both became Skin Realm Martial Artists, surpassing Elemental Martial Artists.

Since then, no one in the West Warehouse District had seen them again.

The original owner, being classmates with Chen Duling and having grown up together, tried to contact her after they moved into the Inner Ring City.

But within less than two months, all of Chen Duling’s contact information was changed, making it difficult to trace any sign of her life, even in the Star Realm.

Since then, everything about Chen Duling had been buried in the original owner’s heart, only to be awakened today.

But just a name allowed Zhang Lingfeng to quickly retrieve all memories of Chen Duling, showing the original owner’s deep obsession.

Of course, as someone with a Coasting Along Fate who seeks a life matching the Coasting Along Attribute, Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t become a servile admirer, nor would Chen Duling’s appearance spark any unusual thoughts in him.

The so-called coasting along,

means being uncompetitive not only in cultivation, avoiding struggle, striving, competition, and anxiety, but also applying the same attitude to love and career.

Thus, the awakening of memories about Chen Duling had no impact on Zhang Lingfeng’s life. He continued to study and cultivate freely as before, as if he lived in a time of peace without material shortages or harsh survival conditions, free from the pressures of mortgages, car loans, and familial responsibilities across generations, spending every day content and at ease.

The days passed by.

Under the effect of the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability, on the fifth day, while practicing the Tidal Breathing Method following Hong Lixin’s breathing rhythm, Zhang Lingfeng no longer felt drowsy.

For this, both Hong Lixin and Yang Liru believed Chen Duling’s presence played a role, thinking Zhang Lingfeng would finally change his habits and cultivate earnestly.

Although he still took frequent breaks in class like before, compared to passing out in the cultivation room for a whole day, Zhang Lingfeng had evidently changed a lot.

For this reason, Hong Lixin and Yang Liru were full of expectations.

Time quickly moved to Friday night.

Participating in ranking competitions three times a week is a strict requirement of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

Zhang Lingfeng could not avoid it.

Before entering the Star Realm, he checked the panel information below.

Name: Zhang Lingfeng

Life Chart: Coasting Along

Profession: Entry Level Martial Artist

Combat Power: 15.61991

Coasting Along Value: None

Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms: Perfection (21/100)

Tidal Breathing Method: Entry Level (69/100)

Ability: All-weather Breathing and Exhaling Ability, arbitrary 200 kilograms arm strength increase, faster than others

This five-day coasting along value acquisition slowed down, roughly occurring around seven or eight o’clock daily.

Fortunately, the spear technique finally reached Perfection.

Moreover, during these five days, Zhang Lingfeng awakened two more qi sensitivity points.

Now the number of qi sensitivity points has reached five.

The combat power also reached 15.6.

According to Divine Martial University’s guaranteed admission requirements, as long as he awakens one more qi sensitivity point, he can qualify for guaranteed admission and receive another scholarship of 200,000.

Then he would have enough money to buy nutrient liquids for Zhang Qingqing, helping her become an Entry Level Martial Artist, allowing Zhang Lei to make fewer trips to the Great Radiation Zone.

"Xiaofeng, uncles and aunts are all waiting to watch you participate in the ranking competition."

Today, the house was bustling.

Since Zhang Lingfeng’s last ranking competition, where his combat power fixed at 14.5, people realized Zhang Lingfeng would eventually get into Divine Martial University and live in the Inner Ring City.

After that, people’s attitudes toward his family changed.

Subsequently, as Zhang Lingfeng continued cultivation in the elite class, with his combat power breaking through 15.0 and awakening three qi sensitivity points, many believed he might obtain guaranteed admission.

Therefore, everyone paid attention to Zhang Lingfeng’s competition results.

They didn’t expect Zhang Lingfeng to wait until Friday to join the ranking competition this time.

"Hmm, elders, please wait a moment, I will enter the Star Realm shortly."

Zhang Lingfeng called out.

"I’ve been keeping tabs on your whereabouts these days. I don’t believe with this cultivation attitude, you can perform well in the ranking competition."

Lai Zhijun muttered to himself.

Feeling aggrieved inside, he kept a close watch on Zhang Lingfeng’s every move, discovering that Zhang Lingfeng was coasting along at both school and home, with no secret cultivation happening anywhere.

This discovery made him both happy and sad.

Happy because with such an attitude toward cultivation, no matter how talented Zhang Lingfeng is, he will still end up with nothing substantial, and as long as Lai Zhijun cultivates earnestly, he would eventually surpass Zhang Lingfeng.

Everyone here has heard of the tortoise and the hare story.

Sad because Zhang Lingfeng’s cultivation talent was incredibly strong. Reportedly, he had already adapted to the breathing and exhaling rhythm of the elite class instructor and would no longer pass out and sleep there.

"Chen, sorry to trouble you."

Yang Liru sent a message to Chen Duling.

"Miss Yang, please send me the room number in a while."

Chen Duling replied.

After a while,

under the anticipation of the masses, Zhang Lingfeng entered the Star Realm to participate in the ranking competition, and his livestream room quickly filled with a crowd.

Yang Liru, Hong Lixin, Ma Yong, Teng Qingshan, Hu Bin, Hu Siqin, and others were all among them.

Soon after, a clean and pure beautiful figure appeared in the livestream room, causing a slight stir.

The attention of Teng Qingshan and Hu Bin, among others, was drawn.

She was none other than Inner Ring City’s Martial Dao student, Chen Duling.

Compared to the Outer Ring City, Chen Duling’s life in the Inner Ring City was not only resource-rich but also guided by renowned instructors. As a senior high school Martial Dao student, her combat power had already surpassed 20.0, and she had received a guaranteed contract with Starry Sky University.

For the first time, she entered the livestream room of Outer Ring City’s Martial Dao students at the instruction of Yang Liru.

Soon, Zhang Lingfeng also appeared in the livestream room.

He glanced at the crowd, his gaze lingering on Chen Duling, internally acknowledging that the girls raised in Inner Ring City not only looked more vibrant but also excelled in temperament and strength, completely overwhelming the girls from Outer Ring City.

Wu Weiwei and Hu Siqin, standing next to Chen Duling, seemed to turn into ugly ducklings.

Chen Duling smiled slightly and waved to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng also smiled courteously back at her and waved. Then, he entered the match-making process without much conversation, which surprised Chen Duling somewhat.

Hong Lixin and Yang Liru, however, smiled silently, thinking Zhang Lingfeng was eager to prove himself to Chen Duling.

Soon, Zhang Lingfeng matched with a competitor.

His opponent’s identity and appearance made him freeze on the spot; it was the game streamer, Angry Little Fang!
