Chapter 172: Chapter 171 Energy Deficiency

Boom!

With a dull thud, Zhang Yanhang landed firmly on the ground, standing straight-legged without employing any fancy landing techniques such as rolling on the ground. He found them troublesome.

"Along with the enhancement of my Constitution Attribute, I can now jump from heights as if I were in a Time Pause status," he thought.

Zhang Yanhang glanced at his Shield Value. Jumping from the fifth floor didn’t reduce it at all. He felt that even if he were to jump from a much higher floor, it likely wouldn’t cause his Shield Value to decrease.

Although Zhang Yanhang had often jumped from buildings in the Ashen World, jumping in the Main World felt completely different, particularly since he needed to use Alchemy to repair the floor tiles after landing.

Looking at the shattered tiles beneath his feet, he sighed silently, "Indeed, jumping straight down isn’t suitable for an Ordinary Awakened like me. Perhaps my experience of jumping in the Main World would improve after I learn how to fly."

Next, under the gaze of passersby who looked at him as if he was insane, he silently used Alchemy to repair the smashed tiles.

.......

A few minutes later, Zhang Yanhang arrived smoothly at the classroom for his first class. His first class that morning was Thought Reform, a general course, where he would join a large number of students from other classes. Due to the need to accommodate over a hundred students, the classroom for this public course was much larger than those for specialized courses.

Consequently, when Zhang Yanhang arrived more than twenty minutes early in the classroom, the only feeling he had was emptiness. Although the classroom door was open, he was the only student inside.

Normally, even teachers would arrive just about ten minutes early, let alone students. Most university students usually came to the classroom about ten minutes before class began.

"Really, I shouldn’t have come so early. If I had known, I would have stayed lying in my dorm for a while," Zhang Yanhang thought. He had actually gone back to his dorm earlier to pick up his Thought Reform textbook, but upon entering, he found that his other five roommates had not yet returned, even though the holiday had been over for two days.

Besides, aside from the textbook for Thought Reform, Zhang Yanhang had also packed the rest of his textbooks into his Waist Bag. He had thought about doing this yesterday, but he forgot after waking up. Naturally, it was more convenient to carry them in his Waist Bag than leaving them in the dorm.

Zhang Yanhang found a secluded corner to sit down and then began to cultivate his Limitless Universe Skill to restore his Energy Value. After using Alchemy so many times, his Energy Value had drained considerably. So, with nothing else to do, it was natural to restore some Energy Value actively.

While Zhang Yanhang wouldn’t consume too much Energy in the near future, he still felt uncomfortable in this state of low internal energy. It mainly felt as if he were frail due to continuously being in a state of energy scarcity.

After cultivating for a while, Zhang Yanhang also realized the use of the Gathering Spirit Jade. It indeed could enhance the recovery speed of his Energy Value. Even when not actively cultivating the Limitless Universe Skill, the recovery speed of his Energy Value could increase by almost half.

When Zhang Yanhang actively cultivated the Limitless Universe Skill, the recovery speed enhanced by the Gathering Spirit Jade also increased accordingly. Previously, when cultivating the Limitless Universe Skill in school, he could achieve a maximum of twice the panel recovery speed. However, with the Gathering Spirit Jade, this speed had increased to three times.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang could now recover nearly fifty points of Energy Value per hour, and under the operation of the Limitless Universe Skill, he only needed about five to six hours to fully recover his Energy Value.

This meant that if he started running the Limitless Universe Skill at full force from now, he would have recovered all his Energy Value by around twelve noon.

Although this rate couldn’t compare to that in the Ashen World, since the Main World had only just undergone Spiritual Qi Recovery for half a year and the concentration of Spiritual Energy was still relatively low, having this speed was already quite impressive.

Zhang Yanhang sat silently in a corner, running the Limitless Universe Skill. By the time he officially confirmed the effects of the Gathering Spirit Jade, almost fifteen minutes had passed, and the classroom was gradually filling up with students.

After several more minutes of cultivation, Zhang Yanhang noticed that someone had suddenly appeared beside him and was greeting him. Without needing to use his Perception, Zhang Yanhang could tell by just the voice that the person greeting him was Sun Jiaming, probably because all the other seats in the classroom were almost taken.

Zhang Yanhang silently nodded in response and then continued to focus on his cultivation.

A few minutes later, the class bell rang, and a middle-aged male teacher in a plaid shirt entered the classroom at the sound of the bell. However, a pale, thin, and tall male student also entered with him, whose facial features were quite handsome but carried a strange, captivating allure in his brows.

Upon seeing this male student, Sun Jiaming immediately poked Zhang Yanhang’s arm.

Engrossed in his cultivation, Zhang Yanhang opened his eyes puzzledly and glanced at Sun Jiaming. "What’s the matter? Did we have homework from the last Philosophy class?" Zhang Yanhang couldn’t think of anything other than homework that might relate to him, so he directly asked this question.

"There’s no homework in Philosophy class. Look at that person," Sun Jiaming pointed at the pale-faced man who had just entered.

Zhang Yanhang looked in the direction Sun Jiaming was pointing and noticed that it seemed to be an Awakener from the class next door, but Zhang Yanhang wasn’t familiar with him or even knew his name. Given his reclusive nature, even though he was already a sophomore, he wasn’t even familiar with his classmates, let alone students from other classes.

"What’s with him? Is he planning to come over and hit me?"

Zhang Yanhang remembered that he usually didn’t interact with students outside his class while at school; logically, he shouldn’t have any enemies. As for romantic rivalries, that was even more impossible. In their Computer Science department, there wasn’t even a single girl. Could it possibly still involve some sort of forced male-on-male scenario?

Speaking of male-on-male, an odd possibility came to his mind—could it be because he had just enhanced his Charm attribute, and someone immediately started coveting his good looks? Eyeing his muscular physique?

Zhang Yanhang, observing the enchantingly alluring aura between the brows of the Awakener from the neighboring class, felt that this possibility was indeed real and not so low at that.

Although Zhang Yanhang wasn’t very familiar with this Awakener from the neighboring class, and didn’t know his name either, he was aware of his abilities; mainly because his abilities were quite distinctive, which was why Zhang Yanhang had a relatively clear memory of them.
