Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Tan Yue patted Zhang Chaoqiang on the shoulder. The latter turned around, having already composed himself, although those damned targets still made him miserable.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, you actually cried today, how interesting!"

Zhang Chaoqiang tilted his head: "?"

“Back in kindergarten, you were the one who always saw me cry, but now I see you cry too! That’s amazing, that’s wonderful!”

Tan Yue was very serious, while Zhang Chaoqiang was holding back his emotions so badly that his face turned a deep, liver-like color.

Old Chen raised an eyebrow, picked Tan Yue up, and sighed inwardly.

Dinner is served. Old Chen truly lives up to his reputation as an excellent butler, martial artist, driver, and chef.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Six dishes and a soup were cooked, and the staple food was dumplings. There were more than thirty kinds of dumplings, and two of each kind were cooked.

Zhang Chaoqiang had already composed himself. At the dinner table, while the adults chatted, he seemed to have thought of something and said:

"Mom and Dad, it's best not to talk while eating or sleeping!"

"Ok."

My parents readily agreed, but why?

Why is there no indication that a complete modification has been completed?

He understood why within a few minutes.

Because after agreeing to Zhang Chaoqiang's request, his mouth started moving involuntarily within just two or three minutes.

It's like I can't control myself. These are personal habits I've had for over a decade, and it seems like I can't change them all in a short time.

Just like a program, you have to thoroughly investigate the underlying program before you can make a complete change; otherwise, it will just go in one ear and out the other.

This kind of transformation will likely take a very long time.

pain.

Zhang Chaoqiang was overwhelmed with painful emotions, but he suppressed them so tightly that he couldn't eat for a while.

While they were eating, Shen Qiangwei took out her screensaver wallpaper and showed it to everyone.

The photo above is of Zhang Chaoqiang sitting on the windowsill, sobbing.

Zhang Chaoqiang's toes immediately dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room layout.

When Zhang Huolong saw the photo, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Why do I feel like he's kind of handsome?"

Old Chen put his reading glasses, clipped to his shirt collar, over his eyes and carefully examined Zhang Chaoqiang's photo: "Indeed, Zhang Chaoqiang stands in stark contrast to the dark night. This pose is also very handsome. He was already quite good-looking, and the tear stains add a touch of melancholy. He's really cool..."

Coolness: 1/10, +1 point of spiritual power, +0.02 physical strength.

Ok?

Happy!

Zhang Chaoqiang's lips suddenly curled up, an expression he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried. His unintentional act had helped him achieve his goal, and fortunately, he didn't realize how awkward it was at the time.

Shen Qiangwei thought Zhang Chaoqiang really liked the photo, so she deliberately waved it up for him again. Zhang Chaoqiang then pulled out another three-bedroom apartment.

After dinner, Lao Chen and Tan Yue weren't in a hurry to leave. The five of them sat in front of the TV, which gave them a sense of family.

International News Channel on Television:

"Due to the uncivilized and disrespectful behavior of Messi refusing to play in our country's football exhibition match today, our country will join forces with the International Sports Federation to impose a complete ban on Messi."

Furthermore, all strategic cooperation and arms and armor supply to Argentine border countries will be suspended from this date, and outstanding personnel dispatched abroad will be recalled soon.

Any attempt to show disrespect to our country will come at a price.

Upon seeing this news, Old Chen, sitting on the sofa, immediately sighed:

"It's wonderful that the country is prosperous, which is why we have such a peaceful life now. The people don't have to suffer the threat of war on the borders of humanity, and we can easily deal with anything that is disrespectful to us."

Speaking of which, the master who introduced me to martial arts also contributed to the construction of the Central Kingdom!

Tan Yue: "Grandpa Chen, please tell us about martial artists and demonic beasts!"

Old Chen looked out the window into the distance: "These things are still quite far away for you. You'll gradually be able to glimpse them when you go to junior high school and martial arts school. Today, I'll tell you about them..."

The two families spent an ordinary winter solstice.

The next day at work, Zhang Huolong saw that his junior high school classmate had once again skipped work and disappeared, so he began to prepare to submit the documents for dismissal to his superiors.

But HR told him that the person had only made a hurried phone call last night before resigning, and sounded very panicked.

Whether it was to achieve the goal of "showing off" or out of adolescent competitiveness, Zhang Chaoqiang had to ask Teacher Guan to let him participate in this exchange meeting.

Chapter 44 Advice

The third day after the winter solstice.

The so-called elementary school simulated spiritual energy exchange meeting was held at Yuhua Elementary School, the affiliated elementary school of Yuhua Martial Arts School, the No. 1 Martial Arts School in Tianan City.

It wasn't like a formal competition, but rather an exchange and competition between outstanding students from different schools.

This serves as a test of their skill levels, since martial artists are not just decorative figures; they must ultimately go to the battlefield to fight against alien beasts.

The development and creation of the psionic ring has, to some extent, allowed some children to begin exploring and training in martial arts at a younger age.

On the seventh floor of the Smart Building at Yuhua Primary School, in the martial arts hall, there is a huge shock-absorbing combat platform of 100 square meters in the center.

There were no spectators, only participants and teachers/leaders.

The various school uniforms around us, like fireworks, with different colors and combinations, seemed to be trying to steal the show.

However, the Yuhua Primary School team, located on their home turf, selected only twenty people from grades four, five, and six, along with their respective skill teachers and principal, all wearing the same light black martial arts uniforms with red logos.

Amidst the blooming flowers, a unique sense of composure arises spontaneously.

Before the match, Zhang Chaoqiang detached himself from the team and looked around the arena. It was his first time participating in such a sparring match that was outside the ordinary scope.

Where in previous martial arts competitions has this kind of spiritual energy appeared?

He calmed his restless excitement and scanned the field.

Yadi Primary School, Tianan No.1 Primary School, Lianhua Primary School, Tiannan Martial Arts School Affiliated No.1 Primary School, Tiannan Martial Arts School Affiliated No.2 Primary School...

Including their own school, there were a total of seven primary schools, and a total of 100 martial arts students participated in the exchange and competition.

Even after multiple rounds of selection, Yuhua Primary School still had 20 students qualified to participate, proving that the title of "Wuhan University's No. 1 Primary School" is well-deserved.

After thinking about it for the past two days, he realized that there's no need to be too deliberate about the goal, whether it's to show off or to be cool. If you act too specifically for that purpose, it won't work.

To others, it would seem no different from someone deliberately showing off or having adolescent delusions. Zhang Chaoqiang still hoped to find a way to achieve his goal in a more subtle and unpretentious way.

This means that I will have to seize every opportunity to showcase myself in the future.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, are you nervous?" Tan Yue gently bumped his back with her head tied in a single ponytail. Children always like to play around.

Zhang Chaoqiang looked at her with a strange expression as she almost pulled the zipper of her handbag until it was smoking. He frowned. This was the second handbag; the outermost one had already been broken by Tan Yue in her nervousness.

If this one is bad, then the next one will be the teddy bear crossbody bag I gave myself.

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded: "I'm very nervous."

Hearing the other person's calm words, Tan Yue quickened her pace of zipping up the bag until the chain broke, and then gently twisted the zipper of the teddy bear handbag inside.

Hold for a moment, then finally release.

"You're very capable now."

"You're controlling the psionic ring very well, just like you do in practice. Trust in yourself."

The exchange meeting was about to begin. All schools agreed that the maximum energy of the psionic rings should be 10P to prevent them from easily harming their opponents. Both sides were required to change into protective combat suits to cushion the impact.

The competition is conducted by drawing lots, with students competing in pairs. After the first round of competition, each student is free to challenge and exchange ideas with other students.

The rules are simple: being knocked down or eliminated means you are out of contention.

Zhang Chaoqiang drew a boy from Yadi Primary School. Yadi Primary School is famous for its liberal arts programs, so only 8 students came this time.

Tan Yue, on the other hand, drew a tall girl from Tiannan No. 1 Primary School.

The people they drew lots for were all of the same age and grade.

Before the official start of the match, the scene was very lively. Each student who was about to go on stage had a skills teacher in front of them to remind them of the things they needed to pay attention to when sparring.

After instructing Shen Guoqi and Tan Yue in her class, Teacher Guan lingered in front of Zhang Chaoqiang, chattering incessantly.

Almost as soon as all the students began to prepare to wait for their numbers to be called, Teacher Guan still showed no sign of stopping.

Surrounded by Principal Liu, the Dean of Studies, and Teacher Cheng Wen, their eyes reflected the flashing lights.

Skills teachers from other classes in the same school, and even some teachers and leaders from other schools in the surrounding area, became interested.

Over the past few years, Zhang Chaoqiang has won numerous awards in various knowledge competitions and children's martial arts competitions. Not only his own school, but also most teachers in surrounding schools know him.

They secretly thought that with Zhang Chaoqiang's abilities, he could probably control his psionic rings in combat with ease, so why was there any need for such nagging?

Is it because you're worried he'll be nervous during the match, or because you're worried he might get injured?

Isn't it necessary?

Gradually, in the huge martial arts hall, Teacher Shu Guan's voice became louder. Teachers from the surrounding schools gathered around to listen, and they could clearly hear that he was repeating the same few sentences over and over.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, you need to be careful and attentive later, so as not to hurt the other party."

This is a friendly sparring match between schools. Remember, it's just a friendly exchange, nothing more. Don't go overboard. Do you understand what the teacher said?

Teacher Guan spoke earnestly, repeating himself twice before finally stopping. He hadn't witnessed Zhang Chaoqiang giving his all, but the subtle details Zhang displayed during training were enough to worry him.

Upon hearing this, everyone froze in place.

Are you serious?

Attentive observers noted that the principal, the director, and teacher Cheng Wen maintained a serious expression throughout Guan's speech to Zhang Chaoqiang. This...

"All parties, please prepare!"

Only after the referee made the announcement did they reluctantly return to their original positions.

After observing several matches starting from the lower grades, Zhang Chaoqiang stopped wasting his attention on them.

They're all pretty much the same as what Teacher Guan taught: integrating energy into basic movements, or using it as a temporary release technique—he's already mastered these techniques.

He turned to Tan Yue and earnestly instructed her, "Your opponent is a tall girl who is a head taller than you. What are your plans?"
