Two days later, Monday morning.

As soon as Lin Zichen arrived at school, he headed straight to the administrative building to find the female principal and tell her he wanted to hold a personal challenge match.

The rules were simple, he would defend the position while allowing the entire student body to challenge him.

The female principal was a bit dumbfounded after hearing this: “You’re just a freshman and you want to challenge the entire student body, are you serious?”

Lin Zichen didn’t beat about the bush and took the female principal to a corner of the gym where no one was and showed her his strength by lifting a 700kg barbell with one hand.

The female principal was completely shocked.

“700 kilograms!”

“That’s even stronger than Wu Tiancheng, the strongest student in the school’s history, during his freshman year!”

“Am I dreaming?”

Once she regained her composure, the female principal said excitedly, “No problem, I’ll arrange a solo showcase where you can challenge the entire school!”

“Principal, remember to set up a reward, without a reward, no one will be motivated.”

“Don’t worry, leave it to the principal!”

“It’s best to set up two kinds of rewards, one for participation to encourage everyone to step up and challenge and a cumulative reward, which is a prize pool that grows with each challenge attempt. The more attempts, the larger the pool of prize money. Whoever beats me gets to take the prize money. If no one can beat me within a certain period, then I’ll receive the prize money.”

“OK, we’ll do it just as you said!”

“Principal, regarding my strength, you must keep it a secret for me first, otherwise nobody will be motivated to challenge if they find out.”

“Alright, alright, the principal will listen to you!”

No matter what Lin Zichen asked for, the female principal was quick to agree without hesitation, completely unlike the domineering figure who instilled fear in the entire school on regular days.

That’s the charm of a genius of the highest caliber in school history; capable of making the high and mighty female principal willingly become an eager follower, as if she were hypnotized.

At lunch break.

The female principal, having spent the whole morning pondering, personally came to Class 1 of freshman year with the solo showcase plan she had prepared and handed it to Lin Zichen for his approval.

Lin Zichen quickly glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction, “Nicely done, principal, thank you for your hard work.”

The female principal beamed, “Oh, it’s no trouble at all.”

Many of the passing teachers and students rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming.

What’s going on?

How come the ever-serious female principal, the notorious terror of the school, was smiling like a sycophant in front of a student?

What sort of turnaround was this?

Unlike everyone else, Shen Qinghan, who also witnessed this scene, remained completely calm throughout.

Whether it was teachers fawning over Lin Zichen or the principal doing so, she had grown up seeing it and was well accustomed to it.

She even thought that even when they got to university, the university principal would still act as Lin Zichen’s eager follower.

On the other side.

The female principal, excited by the discovery of an unparalleled genius, was not concerned about the odd looks from others.

Seeing that Lin Zichen had no issues with the plan,

she immediately took out her phone and notified all the homeroom teachers to gather their students at the field at two in the afternoon, announcing there was something important to disclose.

Two in the afternoon.

All the homeroom teachers brought their students to the field punctually.

Lin Zichen and the female principal stood on the stage.

Once everyone was gathered, the female principal immediately took the microphone and announced Lin Zichen’s challenge to the entire school.

She detailed Lin Zichen’s basic personal information, his recent achievements, and the rules of the challenge, the prize money, and so forth.

Upon hearing this, the teachers and students below were in an uproar.

“Principal, are you serious?”

“The principal has gone mad!”

“You, a freshman new student, are setting up a challenge for the entire school to face you, where does your confidence come from?”

“You think you’re worthy of our challenge?”

“Just because you beat the strongest class of sophomores, you’re acting like this, and if people didn’t know better, they’d think you had defeated the top class of seniors!”

“Arrogant and ignorant, do you think you are the historically strongest student, Wu Tiancheng?”

Seeing Lin Zichen, a freshman, daring to set up a challenge for the whole school, many older students felt offended and started berating him from below the stage.

Facing everyone’s questions, Lin Zichen simply said:

“Starting tomorrow, for two hours during every lunch break, I will be at the gym defending the position, and everyone is welcome to come and spar.”

On the way home.

Shen Qinghan’s peachy eyes brimmed with curiosity, “Xiao Chen, how come you suddenly want to challenge the whole school like this? It’s not your style.”

“High school is so boring. Just looking for some fun.”

“Liar!”

“You caught me.”

“Tell me!”

Shen Qinghan coquettishly clung to Lin Zichen’s arm.

Lin Zichen: “Not now, wait until I come up with a good excuse, then I’ll tell you.”

Shen Qinghan: “???”

Seeing her puff up her cheeks unhappily, Lin Zichen stopped teasing her and told her the reason he had prepared in advance, “The principal saw how well I did in the class competition and wanted to see my limit. He set this challenge up especially for me.”

“You actually agreed with the principal? That’s not like you.”

“Of course I agreed, there’s money involved,” said Lin Zichen, adding, “Once we get the money, we should find a time for our two families to go out for a big meal.”

“Yes, yes!” Shen Qinghan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking, already drooling at the thought.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but smile. Such a foodie, just like when she was little.

Evening.

After dinner, Lin Zichen rested for a while and quickly started his daily exercise routine.

Last night was strength training, so tonight is speed.

He changed shoes, grabbed his keys.

Lin Zichen stepped out the door, ready to go for a road run.

As he left, he heard a gentle, sweet voice singing from the neighboring building. It was very pleasant to the ear.

It was Shen Qinghan practicing her singing again, preparing hard for the December singing competition.

Such a soft, lovely voice, and she was practicing so earnestly; she was bound to win a prize at this rate.

I’ll have to buy a bouquet for that occasion. After she finishes singing and wins, I’ll go onstage and give them to her.

What kind of flowers should I buy? I’ll need to think about this carefully.

There’s still time, might as well run by the florist on the way…

Thinking this, Lin Zichen picked up his pace toward the nearest florist.

On the bustling street.

A somewhat handsome young man, holding a cup of lemon tea that costs just four yuan, stood on the sidewalk, scrutinizing every person who walked by.

Oddly enough, he wasn’t interested in the beautiful women at all.

Whether they were in stockings or in cheongsams, he didn’t give them a second glance.

His gaze remained solely on the young, handsome men.

I give up; is Shanhai City this bad? All I want is a perfect 10 in terms of looks. How come I’ve been searching for days without any luck?

All these handsome guys passing by have flaws. It’s so annoying!

If I can’t complete this sacrifice task perfectly, how will the Sect Hierarch look at me?

Will I be ostracized in the cult in the future?

The more he thought about it, the more agitated the young man became, almost to the point of stamping his feet in frustration.

Just as he decided to give up on perfectionism and was ready to catch a decent-looking guy to get it over with,

suddenly, he spotted a full-score handsome guy in the flower shop across the street!

“Holy shit, so handsome!”

“It’s like finding a needle in a haystack without even trying!”

“Pikachu, I choose you!”
