Chapter 48

He had even read a great many extra books from the library.

Not long ago.

Quantitative change had brought about qualitative change.

He felt all his knowledge had linked up into a single chain.

Everything he had once crammed by rote now clicked into place.

It had truly become his own knowledge.

In the last few written exams, his grades had all been good.

He had even come first in the whole class on the very last one.

So of course he knew the four aspects used to distinguish a troll's attribute.

But those two trolls were rather young, barely past adulthood, and their muscles and center of gravity had not yet developed distinctive features.

So they couldn't be used as reference.

He could only rely on the war-patterns and bone ornaments to judge.

Combined with the way those two trolls walked, he could basically determine they were the agility type.

Whether Cao Feng listened to advice or not was his own business.

But Lu Yi had helped Zhao Chi before, so Zhao Chi still had to give her a heads-up.

He replied in the class group chat:

【Lu Yi, no matter what happens later, go all-out attacking the trolls drawn by the shadow leopards. Shoot their legs off and you win.】

【Cao Feng, if you let your guard down this time, both shadow leopards die for sure.】

【Stop always yelling at your classmates, calling out 'daddy' and 'mummy' the moment you see a noble. Even if you lick those nobles' backsides, you'll never blend in with them.】

【Lu Yi helped me before, so I'm giving her a warning. If you want to go die, that's got nothing to do with me.】

【Your dad's not dead yet — go learn some manners.】

Cao Feng listened, his fury surging higher and higher.

Zhao Chi's tone was like a father lecturing his son.

Cao Feng immediately started hurling a torrent of filthy abuse.

A string of words involving family members and reproduction came flying out one after another.

Those few hangers-on also started chiming in with their own.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would have thought Cao Feng was trading insults with his own hangers-on.

A few students even tried to persuade Cao Feng and his hangers-on not to quarrel among themselves.

Zhao Chi looked at that string of voice messages and didn't bother to tap any of them open.

Soon, Cao Feng was warned by the system.

His hangers-on were warned too.

Finally it was quiet.

In this world, strength was everything.

Family background and personal grades alike were all part of one's strength.

Zhao Chi was an orphan; although he had a clan, he couldn't rely on it without good grades. Combined with his poor results, he was indeed easy to look down on and bully.

On top of that, his relationship with Li Ruanyu and Lu Yi was both good, which made certain people even more jealous, and therefore hostile.

Lu Yi especially had many suitors, so Zhao Chi inexplicably drew even more hostility.

But Zhao Chi couldn't possibly skip the tutoring sessions.

After all, someone was willing to tutor him — it was more than he could ask for.

Besides, Zhao Chi did things cautiously; as long as he made no mistakes, he could stay in an unassailable position.

But there were still some friendly classmates — Yang Xiong, for instance, and Lu Yi.

"My lord, the porridge is ready. Please try some first."

A gentle voice interrupted Zhao Chi's thoughts.
