He quickly took out his phone, tapped on the game icon, and got ready for a big round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan suddenly slapped the table and stood up, laughing wildly as he pointed at Ma Shicheng and said to Dan Kaiquan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, you lost, right? I told you he couldn't last one evening of self-study. Buy me a bucket of instant noodles tonight. I want the mushroom chicken stew flavor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan looked at Ma Shicheng with a mix of pain and anger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You useless thing, why couldn't you hold on for just one more class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had argued over how long Ma Shicheng could persevere, eventually settling on a bet of a bucket of instant noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he'd lost, a bucket of instant noodles cost four yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their words, Ma Shicheng felt furious inside, but he didn't respond. The situation was such that he just played for a while, at most two rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would continue studying later and prove himself to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they take such pleasure in his troubles? They truly didn't know anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignorant people wouldn't understand how resolute he was; he really was going to try hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng logged into the game and glanced at the rankings. Not bad, although Dan Kaiquan had moved up a bit, he hadn't surpassed him yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For peace of mind in his next study session, Ma Shicheng decided to aim for a higher score, so he could rest easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng started a game round, but perhaps because he had studied for two classes, his performance wasn't as sharp—he didn't do well this round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Ma Shicheng started another round. This time his condition wasn't bad, but unfortunately, he still couldn't break the record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng started another round!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Jiang Ning saw Ma Shicheng starting rounds over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhongfei picked up a stool and sat in front of the podium. As the class monitor, he had to maintain discipline during the last session of evening self-study if there was no teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you guys know where Wu Xiaoqi went?\" Huang Zhongfei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan shouted, \"He went out to play basketball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the next class over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhongfei sighed. It was self-study time, and students weren't allowed to go out and play basketball, yet Wu Xiaoqi didn't care about such rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know whether to note Wu Xiaoqi's name in the attendance book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class was getting a bit noisy, and Huang Zhongfei was ready to remind everyone to be quiet. If they were too loud, they would disturb Class 1 next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to speak, the room went completely dark in an instant, plunging the entire classroom into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's vision went black in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom was silent at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, it was as if the class had exploded, and noise came from all directions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit, holy shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a power outage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lights in the teaching building outside are out too, it's really a power outage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ow ow ow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the darkness, the joyful screams of the students could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng quit the game and turned on the flashlight on his phone, lighting up a spot in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few other students with phones followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somebody called out in the dark, \"Folks, don't turn on your phones, what are you doing with your phones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, as if by some miracle, the students agreed and silently turned off their phone flashlights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom returned to darkness, and someone said in a deep voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On a dark and windy night...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person in a pinched voice said, \"I like Huang Zhongfei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhongfei recognized the voice as a guy's and couldn't help but feel a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like Bai Yuxia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scram.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such remarks set the class ablaze, and raucous voices erupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cui Yu, I know you're excited, but can you please put your pants on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grass, who the hell are you?\" Cui Yu felt slandered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pang Jiao, you're really ugly, can you look in the mirror at yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaiquan Dan, please stop touching me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaiquan Dan: \"I'm not, don't falsely accuse me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to be the class president!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Yuxia is my woman,\" declared a voice with an androgynous timbre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning's Divine Sense swept over the room, and the speaker was unexpectedly Yang Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire classroom was in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu faced the darkness, her vision blocked at this moment, while a cacophony of voices buzzed in her ears, their clamor stoking the restlessness in her heart even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought of the afternoon, thought of Jiang Ning's silhouette bathed in sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, as she watched Jiang Ning, she felt as though she was standing in a Dark Corner, realizing how ordinary she was—her family, her grades, even her looks were not as outstanding as those of Bai Yuxia and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt inferior, her mysterious thoughts conspiring within; she no longer wished to speak with Jiang Ning, feeling that perhaps this break was for the better, at least there'd be no more worries in the future, just a nodding acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon deeper reflection, she felt dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if she were trapped in a circle, unable to escape no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she harbor these special feelings towards Jiang Ning? It had only been less than two months since school started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, Geng Lu didn't know. It might have been Jiang Ning saving her from an awkward situation, his superior gaming skills, maybe his looks, or possibly his grades...too many reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her myriad thoughts were tumbling and clashing, as if countless tangled ropes were interwoven in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered her ears, unable to come up with an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, does it matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everything has to be logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Geng Lu had an epiphany, and her troubles were swept away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cemented her resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking into the pitch-black classroom, Geng Lu suddenly had a bold idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power outage was happening at the perfect time, perhaps the only chance in three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Jiang Ning's cold and deep face made her heart pound and her blood rush faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden opportunity; would she cower back in fear or boldly move forward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With determination, she reached out her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won't back down anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Jiang Ning's Divine Sense detected a disturbance, a hand reaching for his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning dodged back, easily evading it. His Divine Sense swept again—it was Geng Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is she trying to do?' Jiang Ning wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, Geng Lu's cheeks were flushed red, her eyes brave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had actually missed just now, despite having judged the position correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unyielding, Geng Lu leaned forward, one hand on the desk, reaching for Jiang Ning with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, she only allowed for success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing Geng Lu's stance, Jiang Ning's expression turned stern. He finally understood her intentions. He would have never imagined the usually quiet and graceful Geng Lu could be so bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she had been holding back the entire evening self-study for this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she dares to do this now, what about the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning had intended to reprimand her sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as his Divine Sense circled around Geng Lu and the words reached his lips, he pulled them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Geng Lu was a young girl. If he rebuked her publicly, it would undoubtedly cause her immense shame and might even lead her down a wrong path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Geng Lu was talented in painting, and he knew her well; perhaps she was just impulsive, so there was no need to be harsh with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Jiang Ning activated his Spiritual Power, employing the 'Sound Transmission Technique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu was about to make her move when suddenly she heard a voice by her ear: \"Incoming call.\" She jolted in fright and instantly retracted her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call never came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu, her Divine Soul still unsettled, was afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and thought with relief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness there was no call. If Jiang Ning had seen that, I would have been too ashamed to face him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1384,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.568Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe976fea8ad996698c90853d5fd2a346a4c8abceaad16a784e2bbc7abb6255c0","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-94","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-92",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
