It housed a dozen or so fighting rings padded with high-strength cushioning material. The walls were lined with various types of combat gear and training weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, students were paired off and sparring fiercely on almost every ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A student built like an ox landed a vicious roundhouse kick on his opponent’s blocking arm, letting out a heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student who was hit stumbled back three steps, his arm trembling violently. His face was contorted in pain, but he still gritted his teeth, looking for a chance to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low growls, the clang of weapons, the dull thuds of bodies colliding... The sounds echoed from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very air here seemed to carry the metallic scent of blood and sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Meng’s tower-like figure appeared at the entrance, the din in the facility froze for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, all eyes fell on Lin Ye, who was following behind Chen Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead teachers for Class 1 and Class 2, one named Sun Qian and the other Xv Zhisheng, both showed surprise on their faces when they saw Chen Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Qian was a tall, skinny-looking middle-aged man, but anyone who knew him understood the price of underestimating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teacher capable of leading Class 1 was definitely not someone to be trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well well, Mr. Chen. What brings you here today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Meng grinned, revealing a set of pearly whites. \"Brought my student here to open his eyes and see what real top students look like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the entire facility, his tone carrying an unconcealed hint of provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Qian’s and Xv Zhisheng’s gazes naturally fell upon Lin Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had some impression of this Class 7 student who had burst onto everyone’s radar as a dark horse during the placement exam two weeks ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, having successfully advanced, Lin Ye was nearly 1.8 meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His frame was no longer the thin, scrawny one from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles were lean and solid, and his black training uniform gave him the sharp, capable aura of a Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the top students in the facility, his physique still looked a bit ’scholarly’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, the students of Class 1 and Class 2, especially the boys, were all powerfully built with bulging muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them, just by looking at their weather-beaten faces and thick arms, could easily pass for middle-aged men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye even saw one guy who was nearly two meters tall with arms thicker than his thighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he fucking eighteen?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s appearance was like a stone tossed into a calm lake, instantly sending ripples through the crowd of top students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, look! It’s that guy, what’s-his-name. The one whose life force index went off the charts in the last placement exam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he’s from Class 7!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was talk about him coming to our class, but then nothing came of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s been quiet since the placement exam.

She stepped down from the ring and unwrapped the bandages from her wrists, her fair forehead beaded with fine sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Lin Ye standing in the center of the crowd, she froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past two weeks, Zhang Yuqing had maintained her habit of training in the Gravity Chamber at 3:00 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the figure that had once put so much pressure on her had never appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange feeling of emptiness had bloomed in her heart, as if she had lost a rival she had been secretly competing against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuqing had even wondered more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did he give up?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did that extreme session damage his foundation? Or did that outburst in the placement exam exhaust all his potential?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, seeing Lin Ye again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sliver of secret joy suddenly surged in Zhang Yuqing’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because with just one glance at Lin Ye, she was certain—he hadn’t given up, and he hadn’t fallen into mediocrity!\u003C\u002Fp>",1384,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","d45f5b69a5ee5f71fbfb47c8e10982cafaf9cbff5e83b81969b664b921884b92","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-38","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-36",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
