Study Monster Cultivation System-Chapter 359 - 358 Fivefold Thunderous Gaze

The next morning, Li Zheng got out of bed to find his roommate had already vanished, no doubt up to some mischief again.

Li Zheng dressed and made his bed as usual before heading to the balcony to stretch with a big yawn.

In a daze, he noticed a girl from the dormitory across staring thoughtfully in his direction. She wasn’t satisfied with just looking; she even went back inside to call her friends over.

Li Zheng smiled silently.

He hadn’t even combed his hair yet, and the college girls were already losing their composure.

Just as he was about to freshen up, he saw three more girls emerge from the same room, following the direction of the first girl’s pointing finger.

Li Zheng sighed heavily.

Ah, they had all come to watch as a team, and it would be a let-down if he just turned and walked away.

Instead of leaving, he decided to stand with his hands behind his back, letting them see what a naturally imposing figure looked like.

But the more he stood there, the more something felt off.

The girls seemed to be pointing and discussing something with puzzlement, not just admiring a handsome young man.

Following the direction of their pointing, Li Zheng stiffly looked towards the upper right corner of the clothes rack.

Ah.

It was...

Mo Nian’s specimen.

Clipped to the drying rack... in the process of air-drying.

It probably looked like a flesh-colored short sock... but one shouldn’t look too closely.

Nevertheless, the girls across seemed to be trying to get a better look, assuming it was something extraordinary, even going back to their room to grab their phones for a zoomed-in shot.

Don’t do anything rash, sisters!

In his urgency, Li Zheng grabbed a clothes pole and used Yang Jun’s blue underwear to shield Mo Nian’s specimen.

The girls instantly lost interest.

At the same time, agonized moans came from the adjacent room.

By the time Li Zheng rushed over, Mo Nian was already forcibly standing up, leaning on the bed.

Seeing Li Zheng, Mo Nian managed a pained smile, "It’s okay, the toughest moment has passed."

Li Zheng inwardly admired him; this was a true man.

"You should rest for a week after the surgery," Li Zheng said with concern. "Did the hospital give you a sick note? I can take it to the counselor for you."

"It’s just a minor injury, I can’t let it interfere with my studies." With his face trembling slightly, Mo Nian struggled with his hair and asked, "What class do you have this morning?"

"Jun and I both have ’Introduction to Biophysics.’

"Oh? Me too," Mo Nian said, pleased, as he turned around. "I thought no one from our school would sign up..."

He stopped mid-sentence as his expression suddenly turned agonized.

Then, slowly, so slowly, he bent over, not sure whether to hold on or let go, just standing there with his mouth open, silently screaming into the air.

Li Zheng felt sorry for him and went over to help: "Take a leave... Don’t underestimate the danger of every move at this time."

"I’m... fine," Mo Nian gently pushed Li Zheng away, stiffly moving toward the sink with a bow-legged gait. "An old doctor did the surgery, his needling was very good. He claimed he’s done it thousands of times in his life, not one has burst at the seams."

"Then... just take everything slow, Jun and I will protect you."

"Thanks."

...

What is ’Biophysics’?

Like ’Chemical Physics,’ ’Physical Chemistry,’ ’Biochemistry,’ ’Chemical Biology,’ and so on, it is an interdisciplinary bridge course.

It involves areas such as biomechanics, neurobiology, computational biology, and in fact, is a popular cross-disciplinary subject.

As an elective for the School of Physics, the course reportedly has a high enrollment rate, prompting the opening of an additional section.

Li Zheng chose this course, of course, thanks to Shen Yuecen’s visionary insight. Yang Jun followed Li Zheng’s lead, while Mo Nian followed the Biology route, selecting virtually everything with ’biology’ in it.

The three of them had breakfast together, then escorted Mo Nian into the School of Physics building.

As someone from Yingpei, venturing far from one’s own territory and comrades into the School of Physics was a somewhat nerve-racking affair.

On their way up to the third floor, they were surrounded by passionate discussions among Physics students, about various competitions, experiments, and the like, making it feel as if they had entered a different school altogether.

This continued until they reached the back door of the classroom.

Yang Jun hesitated, looking at the room full of unfamiliar classmates.

"Bro... they’re all from the same class, aren’t they?"

"Seems like it," Li Zheng said as he peered around.

"Just the three of us outsiders, huh..." Yang Jun swallowed hard. "Back in my old school, joining a class like this... you’d get a beating from the original classmates..."

"What are you thinking? Jijing University wouldn’t be like that," Li Zheng said, pulling Yang Jun towards the classroom.

Suddenly!

A girl with a backpack slung over one shoulder darted into the classroom from the front door.

Hair flowing down evenly, the hem of her skirt swaying.

Clutching a rocket water bottle, her face beaming with playful mischief.

Swift, graceful, yet somewhat awkwardly.

A slice of bread still clenched between her teeth.

Li Zheng’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Grandpa was right!

It’s been days since I saw Jingjing, and she does seem taller.

And not just in height.

Of course, compared with this...

Li Zheng gloomily raised his hand and waved it in front of his right eye.

[Lin Yujing]

[Academic Power: 1892]

Holy shit!

Li Zheng stumbled, barely managing to stay upright by grabbing onto Mo Nian.

Instantly, Mo Nian’s face turned sour.

"..." Mo Nian trembled as he turned his head, looking blankly at Li Zheng, "Zheng, didn’t we agree you were going to protect me?"

"It was an accident, an accident..." Li Zheng shook his head, put away his Scholar’s Eye, and gasped for air where he stood in the classroom.

Is this really you?

No doubt, wherever you went, you would undoubtedly become the absolute number one.

Without question, apart from Li Zheng himself, this was the peak of undergraduate academic power at Ji University.

She had attained this level after just five months of secluded study.

Li Zheng’s entire being radiated an intense aura.

Good, this makes it interesting.

I will hold onto my position.

Together with Grandpa.

However, in Mo Nian’s and Yang Jun’s eyes, they only read one thing from Li Zheng’s expression—

Love at first sight!

They were unaware of the intense, age-old rivalry and battles between Zhengguo and Jingguo.

To them, it was simply a guy who couldn’t move his feet just because he saw a girl!

Leaning on the doorframe, Mo Nian glanced at Lin Yujing, who was sitting down and scarfing down bread, shook his head with a smile, and patted Li Zheng, "Go on, while no one else is around, sit beside her."

"Forget it, forget it," Li Zheng casually waved his hand off, "Let’s three sit together, let’s ignore her."

"Bro," Yang Jun grabbed Li Zheng and said, "What do you mean ignore? It hasn’t even started yet, aren’t you just ostracizing yourself for fun?"

"Exactly," Mo Nian agreed, nodding, "Take the initiative, don’t be afraid of failure. Just ask a question or tell a joke, and you can naturally get things rolling."

Li Zheng laughed heartily, "Do I need you to teach me?"

"Right, that’s the confidence I’m talking about," Mo Nian urged Li Zheng, "Go for it, bro, a good start is half the battle."

"Now that you mention it, university is indeed a fresh start," Li Zheng muttered with a chuckle, "Enough joking around. Let’s the three of us sit in the back. We’ll stay incognito for now, I’ll launch a surprise attack when necessary."

Mo Nian frowned deeply, "Bro, staying hidden is not a good strategy, if you’re not careful you might hide all the way until graduation."

Li Zheng laughed unrestrainedly, "Man, you’re on a whole different level, I still trust my own judgment more."

"Then have it your way..."

With that, the three of them entered the classroom.

They had barely taken two steps.

When Yang Jun stopped Li Zheng again.

"Bro, some dude’s heading over there."

"What?!" Li Zheng stomped towards the window seat where Lin Yujing was.

The guy approaching wasn’t just any dude, he was a handsome one.

He was a boy with parted hair, wearing glasses that seemed to have more design sense than others, exuding confidence and formulas everywhere.

Formulas because his T-shirt was covered with physics equations.

He simply sat down next to Lin Yujing, turned his face, and started chatting with a smile.

Lin Yujing could only respond with a subdued nod, continuing to munch on her bread.

She burped because she ate too fast.

Equation Guy then took out a bottle of soda water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over.

Lin Yujing just waved her hand and then picked up her rocket water bottle to drink without looking up.

At that moment.

The Formula Guy actually reached out and helped Lin Yujing with her water bottle!!

!!!!!!!

Quintuple glaring, it happened.

This is outrageous!!!

Li Zheng immediately threw his backpack onto Mo Nian.

"Aw..." Mo Nian clutched the backpack and slowly sank down, tears of a tough guy uncontrollably seeping out, "If you’re going to give it to me, just give it to me... You did that on purpose, didn’t you..."

However, Li Zheng had already strode over.

At this moment, the soul of a long-distance runner merged with that of a combat maniac, as speed and killing intent fused perfectly.

It was somewhat like the sudden descent of a demonic swordsman, eyes bloodshot, trampling over a pile of corpses as he charged into battle.

Yang Jun panicked: "Nian... Brother Nian... Brother Li is on the move already... is he going to fight..."

Gripping his chest and gasping for air, Mo Nian said, "I think he’s going shark hunting, and it’s mass murder."

"Then... should we... should we go join him?" Yang Jun muttered anxiously, "Not to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year..."

"That’s the idea." Mo Nian gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and stood tall once again, "Quick, help me over, or Li Zheng will be at a disadvantage."

"But Brother, your body..."

"To deal with these people..." Mo Nian glanced around and spit out the bit of lip he had just bitten off, "two fingers will be enough."

Having said that, he stiffly moved his legs: "The real challenge is how to get there... hurry and help me."

"Coming, coming." Yang Jun quickly supported Mo Nian, "But, Brother Nian... This is their class, their girl... aren’t we being somewhat unreasonable..."

"This was never a matter of being reasonable." Mo Nian looked around cautiously, "Wait, if it really comes to blows, help me protect my lower body."

"I will, Brother, I’ll definitely keep you safe!"

...

Meanwhile, Li Zheng had already arrived at the table of Lin Yujing and the Formula Guy.

"Huh!" Lin Yujing’s eyes instantly brightened, and she almost jumped up.

But Li Zheng just raised his hand, signaling her to maintain decorum; he was enough to handle this matter alone.

Then, he gave the Formula Guy the death stare.

"Ah... you, you are..." Flustered by the intense glare, the Formula Guy pointed towards the blackboard and said, "This class is ’Introduction to Biophysics’, an elective for our physics department. Classmate, you might be in the wrong classroom."

"It’s you who is sitting in the wrong seat." Li Zheng pointed at the desk surface.

"???" The Formula Guy looked confused, scanned the desk with his hand, and asked, "Did you reserve this seat?"

Bang!

Li Zheng slammed his phone down on the table.

"Reserved it."

"Hey hey..." the Formula Guy turned to look at Lin Yujing, "Jingjing, you... know him?"

"Jingjing?!," Li Zheng roared in fury, slamming both hands on the table, "Is Jingjing for you to call?"

Do you know how long it took me to earn the right to call her that?!

"Giggle..." Lin Yujing just laughed, about to rise to explain the situation.

Yet she was pressed back down with a hand signal from Li Zheng: "I’ll handle it."

"Hey." Now the Formula Guy was riled up enough to stand up, removed his glasses, and said with a cold stare, "Exactly which school are you from, looking for trouble is it?"

While he was still speaking.

A heavy hand landed.

Like a mountain, it rested on the Formula Guy’s shoulder.

The Formula Guy quickly turned his head.

It was a presence like something that had killed its way out of an Indian tribe.

Or rather, like a revered spirit the local tribe might worship.

What is this? A summoning by a Master?

The Formula Guy’s legs gave out.

And he sat back down.

"Friend, keep calm," Mo Nian pressed down on the Formula Guy while turning to look at Li Zheng, "is everything okay?"

"It’s fine," Li Zheng waved his hand dismissively.

"You guys... you guys..." the Formula Guy turned to his classmates in a pitiful plea.

Indeed, his classmates were looking at him and clearly received his call for help.

Just as some were about to speak up.

Mo Nian’s gaze swept over them again.

"We’re just talking with my friend," Mo Nian patted the Formula Guy again and spread his hands towards the others, "Obviously, my friend has already taken this seat. I just came to try and mediate any conflict, which is perfectly reasonable. Everybody, no need to get tense."

With such a pacifying approach.

The students from the School of Physics had no choice but to lower their heads again.

It’s no good...

This Heroic Spirit’s intensity is too damn high...

Just standing there, their posture looks like they’re striking a martial arts stance.

"But..." the Formula Guy, seeing himself without support, had to turn to Lin Yujing, "Um... Jing... Classmate Lin, say something... If you don’t want to sit with him, I’ll go... go... go find the teacher."

Lin Yujing just chuckled and nodded: "I’ll sit with him, you move."

"......" Formula Guy was completely dumbfounded.

For so many days, so many boys tried everything to get close.

But they only received "Um um um" from the Quiet God...

And yet...

She casually agreed to sit with some Master who appeared out of nowhere!

Even Yang Jun, who was protecting Mo Nian, was shocked.

I thought Jijing University was all about the cultured people?

Why does it seem like we’re in the animal kingdom?

Brother Nian might as well be the king of the savannah!

Amid the grief.

Formula Guy suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

"Friend?" Mo Nian applied a bit more force with his fingers, and said amiably, "Shouldn’t you give up your seat?"

"..." Formula Guy slumped, grabbing his backpack and feeling like crying.

He was mentally and physically defeated.

But he still tried to be strong, carrying his backpack to the front row with as much dignity as he could muster, taking his seat with tears brimming, and briskly rearranging his books and pens, pretending that nothing had happened.

Li Zheng, on the other hand, looked somewhat disappointedly at Mo Nian.

"I’ve got it under control, no need to help."

Lin Yujing also turned to look at Mo Nian, and exclaimed, "Wow..." as if she had seen a mammoth at a zoo.

"Yingpei’s roommate," Li Zheng introduced with a gesture, "This is Big Brother Mo Nian, and this is little brother Yang Jun."

Lin Yujing stood up too, and extended her right hand generously: "School of Physics, Lin Yujing."

"No no no..." Mo Nian drew back his hand repeatedly, not daring to even look, "I’m currently... currently undergoing a cultivation practice, I can’t look at girls, can’t hear girls’ voices, and definitely can’t touch girls... I’m sorry."

Li Zheng explained with a smile: "Big Brother Mo means no offense; he’s really cultivating."

"It’s fine, it’s fine." Lin Yujing also laughed and shook her head strangely, "It’s fluffy, very amusing, and your Chinese is superb!"

"..."

Lin Yujing then turned towards Yang Jun.

Yang Jun also retracted his hand immediately, looking around nervously.

"The kid just came to the city, he’s a bit shy," Li Zheng laughed, "He’ll get used to it after some time."

"Oh." Lin Yujing made an effort to find something positive about Yang Jun, and after a long look, she finally managed to compliment, "Nice glasses."

"Than... thank you," Yang Jun mumbled shyly, scratching his face.

After the awkward introductions, Mo Nian then turned around, taking Yang Jun with him to the back: "We’ll go to the back then, holla if anything comes up."

"Go to the back? Sit together, sit together," Li Zheng patted the empty seats in the front row, "Sit here, we can discuss anything on the spot, I’ve got questions about biology I want to ask you."

"This..." Mo Nian hesitated, "Don’t you need some space?"

"Studying is our space," Li Zheng said to Lin Yujing, "Big Brother Mo was a biology national team member in ninth grade, second in the world at IBHO."

"No no no." Mo Nian stubbornly shook his head, his words becoming plentiful once biology was mentioned, "That IBHO biology experiment was ridiculous, I refused to do it, and I refuse to accept that result."

"That’s impressive," Lin Yujing nodded in approval, pointing to the front row, "Just sit in the front, I chose this class because I’m not very good at biology."

Mo Nian, with no choice left, confirmed again with Li Zheng with a look, making sure he really wanted to sit together, before he and Yang Jun took their seats in the front row.

Even after sitting down and arranging his books, Yang Jun lingered on the African savannah ecology of Ji University.

"Brother Nian... we’re just... done?" Yang Jun didn’t dare to turn around, only whispering close to Mo Nian, "Are girls really so easygoing nowadays...?"

"It’s because of the face." Mo Nian pointed at his own cheek, "That formulaic friend of ours has a good face too, but compared to Li Zheng, it just can’t be considered handsome. You should know, even I used to be jealous of men with looks like Li Zheng’s."

"Sigh... But Brother Zheng is too familiar with that girl, just introducing us like that..."

"It’s confidence, just show the confidence that matches your abilities, and girls will naturally follow. My most extreme time, I just needed a glance, and simultaneously, three in the bar..." Mo Nian was saying, when his expression suddenly became grave, he nervously looked down, wanting to perform Ukulahlwa but couldn’t due to the posture, he ended up gripping the corner of the desk tightly, "Jun, talk about something else, divert my attention, quick..."

"Then... how about I do a Taylor expansion for you?"

"Expand."

"Bro, you see, with Taylor expansion, the layers are actually like stripping clothes..."

"Stop it! It’s... it’s about to unravel... are you trying to kill me?"
