Chapter 65: The Top Scorer of the College Entrance Examination Has Arrived
"Xiao Feng, are you okay? Hey! Has this guy come back to his senses?"
Zhen Pengpeng saw Zhou Xiaofeng standing there, motionless as if he had been cast with a petrification spell. It's really hard to imagine how he managed to stuff such a big fist into his mouth. Everyone thought that only Star Grandpa could pull off such an extraordinary move, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaofeng did it too! He's truly awesome!
"Bang!"
Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly knelt down on the grass. Chen Pengpeng saw his inexplicable behavior and was very puzzled. Who knows what kind of illness this guy is suffering from again?
"Little friend, I beg of you, ask that hermit sage to take me on as his disciple too! No matter what conditions he sets, I'll agree to them, just so long as I can be his disciple!"
Zhou Xiaofeng knelt on the grass, pulling at Chen Pengpeng's hem and pleadingly said: "I'm going to die, this guy really knows how to pick his timing. Just now he didn't believe anything I said, but now that he's seen it with his own eyes, he's lost all face and is pouncing on me! It looks like he was shocked by Chen Pengpeng's performance! This isn't surprising, if he had successfully become Chen Pengpeng's apprentice, the first thing he would want to do is go to Japan and show off. This guy has long fantasized about being a celestial being and causing a big stir in Japan."
"I'm going, Xiaofeng! Don't be like this! You don't have the chance to become my apprentice anyway, because my master has gone traveling around the world. Even if you beg me, it's useless!"
Chen Pengpeng was not unwilling to help Zhou Xiaofeng, but his master, Kuang Zun, had already passed away in this world. How could he ask him to apprentice with thin air? He couldn't possibly tell Zhou Xiaofeng that his master had already ascended, could he? That would be too much of a blow for him to take. So Chen Pengpeng naturally had to come up with an excuse to brush it off.
"I can wait for him to come back, and when he does, you can help me ask him, let him accept me as his apprentice too, okay? I'm begging you, Little Pong!"
Zhou Xiaofeng's heart quickened as soon as he heard Chen Pengpeng's words. This was the moment when his own dreams were within reach, how could he let it slip away? He must stubbornly cling to it and not give up.
"Alas! I've already told you that my master has gone on a journey to the four seas, how would I know when he'll be back? He's an immortal, after all! If he doesn't return for hundreds of years, can you still wait for him? By then, you'll have breathed your last! Don't even mention becoming his disciple!"
Chen Pengpeng saw Zhou Xiaofeng's unreasonable behavior and explained loudly. This guy, who claims to have read a lot of Xianxia novels, doesn't even understand this basic thing, it's hard to imagine how he used to think. Upon hearing Chen Pengpeng's words, Zhou Xiaofeng stood up from the grass with a somewhat dejected expression, his previous excitement gone. He looked like he had lost his parents, his face pale and unattractive, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. What a great opportunity this was, what a chance to become legendary! But Chen Pengpeng's words poured cold water over his head.
"Hey, Xiaofeng, don't be discouraged! I haven't finished speaking yet! Actually, my master and mistress have taught me too! I can also teach you, tonight after school we'll head home together and introduce someone to you, hehe!"
When Chen Pengpeng saw Zhou Xiaofeng's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel a burst of laughter in his heart. However, for the sake of not hurting his brother's feelings, as a brother who now possessed a set of skills, he couldn't forget about his brother. It was laughable that among the Seven-Colored Divine Fingers given to Chen Pengpeng by Kuang Zun, there were countless divine techniques that would make people in the Cultivation Realm jealous, and even those from the Immortal Realm would be driven mad with envy upon seeing them! Those were divine techniques for cultivating gods!
"Little friend, is what you said true? Will I really be as awesome as you?"
As soon as Zhou Xiaofeng heard Chen Pengpeng's words, he excitedly grabbed Chen Pengpeng's hand and asked urgently. This news was too exciting for him, and he almost wanted to dance on the spot. If it weren't for the fact that they were in a hurry to discuss important matters, this guy would definitely run around the school in circles, shouting "I'm going to become an immortal!"
"Hmm, how should I answer you? I don't know if he's stronger than me, but one thing is for sure, once you master it, the people in the Upper Realm won't be your match!"
Chen Pengpeng said with some embarrassment. What's the difference between this and that? How can the divine art compare to the ancient divine art? It's simply a heaven and an earth apart! However, Chen Pengpeng didn't understand that what he had learned was the ancient divine art, only knowing that it was very powerful. At that time, he didn't think much about it, and as soon as he heard Crazy Venerable say that he could beat the immortal and the god, he directly inherited his physical body.
"My god, that's so cool? Don't try to fool me! When the time comes, I won't even be able to beat a lousy guy, and then you'll know what's good for you! Wow, it looks like I'm going to become a god!"
Zhou Xiaofeng received a definite answer from Chen Peng, and he burst out laughing excitedly. Fortunately, there were no other students around, or else they would have thought he was crazy.
"But you think anyone can defeat a beast? You have the guts to go fight with my Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai! Let's see if they won't beat you into an idiot!"
Chen Pengpeng looked at the excited Zhou Xiaofeng and whispered. As soon as he thought of his Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, he felt a pang in his heart. He had already practiced to the second layer of Kuang Xiao Si Hai, but didn't know when he could break through it. When he thought about it, he would practice until he reached the third layer of Kuang Long Nu Hou, then shatter that Seven-Colored Divine Stone and take out the Kuang Knife. At that time, he would also see if he could bring Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai out together.
"What? What did you say, Little Peng? I couldn't hear it!"
Zhou Xiaofeng couldn't hear what Chen Pengpeng was muttering to himself, so he stupidly asked Chen Pengpeng.
"Heh heh, nothing, nothing."
Chen Pengpeng sneered. He couldn't say that he himself couldn't even beat a beast, could he? Just now, he was still saying in front of everyone that as long as he practiced the secret recipe he taught, he could defeat an immortal. Now, he said that he couldn't even beat a beast, which didn't make sense at all! In this case, Zhou Xiaofeng would still believe him? Even a fool wouldn't believe it!
"Haha, I hope this afternoon's class will pass quickly, and then I'll be free! Wow haha, wait for me little R, soon I'll go to Mount Fuji to blast you guys!"
Zhou Xiaofeng couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought of his own beautiful dream. It seems that this guy has a lot of opinions about R Country, otherwise why would he always want to go to R Country to make a name for himself? Chen Pengpeng saw Zhou Xiaofeng's expression and shook his head in annoyance, it seems that this kid is too deeply poisoned and there's no cure.
"Xiao Feng, I'm not going to class this afternoon. Tell that mother tiger for me. Wait for me outside the school gate at dismissal time!"
When Chen Peng finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared. Zhou Xiaofeng wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but before he could ask, the person was gone, which made him very depressed!
"Hehe, it won't be long before I can do this too! Wow haha!"
Zhou Xiaofeng muttered to himself and ran towards his own classroom, and the news time for the whole afternoon passed. The afternoon class was still doing test questions, so Chen Pengpeng didn't go to the classroom. Fortunately, the principal said that as long as he was in school, he wouldn't care what he did, which gave him extra time to do his own things.
Chen Pengpeng ran out of school alone, and soon arrived at the bustling streets of City C. Amidst the crowds coming and going, he traversed many big and small alleys, finally stopping in front of a door with "Xinhua Bookstore" written on it. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up. Actually, Chen Pengpeng had wanted to go to the school library, but with only a few days left before the college entrance exams, the school library was already closed. Chen Pengpeng had come all the way from school to the streets of City C in search of a bookstore, hoping to better prepare himself for the exams.
"Woohoo! I'm the top scorer in the college entrance exam!"
Chen Peng burst out laughing and rushed into the bookstore. His posture was like a hungry wolf pouncing on food, making people on the side of the road think that this kid had somehow gotten his nerves crossed! Otherwise, how could he have such a huge reaction? It's not like anyone would react as intensely as him, right?
As soon as he entered the bookstore, Chen Peng frantically searched for all kinds of high school entrance examination materials and read them all. He didn't spend more than two or three minutes on a book, and after reading it, he could recall every word like a computer printer. The people in the store who were watching him were stunned, wondering if Chen Peng had some kind of problem. Who else could read books like that? Finishing one book from cover to cover, then moving on to another, and so on. Chen Peng was completely absorbed in the joy of reading, unaware of the expressions around him. He continued to read his books, until after an hour, he had basically read through all the high school subjects' materials. Moreover, he even did several sets of questions from the test papers with his brain, and after finishing them, he checked the answers, and amazingly, Chen Peng got every single one correct! If everyone in the store knew about this, what kind of expression would they have? Chen Peng thought reading these books was too boring, so he didn't bother to look for more high school entrance examination materials. For him, it had already reached a level of perfection, and no matter how much more he read, it would all be the same method, just with different content.
"Ugh, this is so boring! Hehe, I'd rather read some military, political or ancient texts instead. Even better, let's check out some foreign stuff, haha!"
Chen Pengpeng muttered to himself, and then he sprang back in front of the bookshelf again, starting to search for his prey once more. The whole afternoon was spent by Chen Pengpeng inside this 'Xinhua Bookstore', when he finally put back the last foreign language book on the last bookshelf, he stretched his waist contentedly.
"Hey kid, you've touched every single book in my store today. What's the meaning of this? It's fine to browse books, but going through them from cover to cover like that, are you reading or ruining my books?"
Suddenly a bad voice reached Chen Peng's ears. Chen Peng turned around and saw the fat bookstore owner staring at him angrily. It was only then that Chen Peng realized he had forgotten his image while reading books today. Who knows how many people thought he was crazy! Now it's really over, even if he had a good reason, no one would believe him that he was just reading a book.
