Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams
Chapter 54: Former Classmates

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Former Classmates

On that day, Chen Feng’s hopes of obtaining another dose of the medicinal soup were not realized.

But he didn’t feel too much regret because after a full day of standing exercises and boxing practice until three in the afternoon, when martial arts training was almost ending.

He finally made some progress.

[Progress +1!]

[Flame Tiger Stance: Tiger Form (2%) +]

Glancing at the panel, sweat continuously slid down Chen Feng’s face.

Yesterday he had used only four breakthrough doses, and he still had one left unused until now.

At this moment, having recognized once again that his talent was mediocre, he didn’t dwell on it and quickly allocated his points.

[Flame Tiger Stance: Tiger Form (12%)]

"Only 10%?"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and wiped the sweat from his face.

As his strength grew, the skills became more advanced.

He found himself increasingly in need of the Breakthrough Light Group.

Thinking this, he exhaled and couldn’t help but think of the green light group he saw yesterday in the Dream World.

He wasn’t sure if that was a talent or a skill...

Curiosity piqued, the day’s Core Class concluded.

Without delay, Chen Feng quickly joined Lin Hao in the changing room, and they both changed their clothes.

"Did you hear?"

"What?"

"That guy Wu Tian went for a punching power test at noon, 145 kg."

"Damn, nearly surpassing Amateur Ninth Rank already?"

"The competition is tomorrow, I hope I don’t face him."

Other students walked into the changing room and whispered among themselves.

Lin Hao frowned upon hearing this and subconsciously looked at Chen Feng.

"What’s up?"

"Can you handle it?"

Lin Hao asked softly, obviously remembering Wu Tian’s displeased expression when his sparring request was turned down yesterday.

"No big deal."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng remained calm.

Seeing him like this, Lin Hao opened his mouth to say something but in the end chose to remain silent.

Over these days, he had come to understand Chen Feng’s temperament and knew when to keep his advice brief.

Tap tap!

Footsteps echoed.

The two left the Martial Arts Hall soon after, each going their separate ways.

Then, watching Chen Feng’s figure board the bus and slowly pull away,

The last two figures leaving the Martial Arts Hall paused in their steps, one of them squinting and revealing an intrigued smile.

"Pei Yue, what do you think his level is now?"

"Probably still at Amateur Eighth Rank?" Said the robust and mature young man with a frown.

They were all members of the same Core Class cohort, so getting some information wasn’t too difficult.

He didn’t think there would be much progress in just two days.

"Didn’t you notice at noon? He also received a dose of the Qi Blood Soup Medicine."

"Oh?" Pei Yue raised an eyebrow.

"But it doesn’t matter. Anyone who can enter the Core Class is a talent, right?"

With a playful smile, Wu Tian withdrew his gaze.

"Tomorrow, I will make him realize..."

"That talents are also of varying degrees."

The calm words were filled with strong confidence, and soon he walked away leisurely, amidst the envious and admiring glances from other students.

...

"Ding Dong!"

"Welcome to Yonglefu Supermarket!"

At three fifty.

The familiar sound once again played at the entrance of Yonglefu Supermarket.

Aunt He, wearing a red vest, looked up and saw a robust young figure push through the transparent strips and stride in, like a moving black boulder.

"Aunt He, is the machine fixed?"

Heard the familiar voice, He Xiuping came back to her senses.

"Ah, right, the technician came this morning."

Nodding in response, He Xiuping couldn’t help but take a second glance at Chen Feng.

She wondered if it was her imagination or if he seemed to have bulked up a bit more?

"It’s nearly time, Aunt He."

Chen Feng spoke, as he slipped on his staff vest, not noticing her silent appraisal.

Seeing this, a somewhat dazed He Xiuping let out an "oh" and quickly checked the time.

"Time seems to have passed so quickly today."

A smile appeared on her face and she didn’t delay any further.

"Okay, I’ll leave the work to you then, Xiao Feng."

"I’ll be off then."

"Take care, Aunt He."

Their conversation ended, and soon they saw the transparent strips being lifted again.

Li Hongxia, in her yellow delivery uniform and drenched in sweat, walked in with Xu Yao carrying an old backpack following behind.

"Sister Zhang, I’m here."

"Eh, no rush. Have a drink of water first."

A group of ladies and aunties exchanged a few words, and during that, Chen Feng caught a familiar call and nodded with a smile to Xu Yao.

"Is it time for registration already?"

Chen Feng asked casually, realizing it was already mid-August.

"Registration is next Friday."

Xu Yao still seemed a bit timid, replying softly with her head slightly lowered.

Her short, shoulder-length hair framed her face, while her bright apricot eyes stared at the gray floor tiles as if trying to discern some pattern.

"It’s really true. How quickly this summer vacation has gone by. My son is about to go back to teaching."

Aunt Zhang continued the conversation, eliciting a trace of envy from Li Hongxia.

"Being a university professor is great. It would be nice if Xiao Yao could become a teacher in the future."

"There’s no problem with that, Xiao Yao is so well-behaved and does well in her studies."

"Just need to push hard in this final year of high school, she’ll surely get into a key teacher-training university."

Aunt Zhang spoke with a smile. Chen Feng didn’t join in the conversation but just smiled and affectionately ruffled Xu Yao’s hair.

Having spent some time together these days, he had gotten a sense of Li Hongxia’s expectations for Xu Yao.

The little girl was polite and sensible, and was doing well academically—everyone hoped her future would be brighter than her present.

"Alright, alright, you folks carry on, I need to get back and cook."

"See you, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yao."

"Take care, Aunt Zhang," Chen Feng nodded.

"Goodbye, Aunt Zhang."

Xu Yao’s voice was gentle as she spoke, then she went behind the shelf to the sofa area to continue her homework.

The sound of rustling papers arose; it was unclear whether she was drawing or writing.

Chen Feng stood behind the cash register, sometimes taking payments, sometimes standing and looking out the window, silently waiting for night to arrive.

"Has Tianheng Society given up following me?"

There was no malice to be perceived in his surroundings, and no shady cars stopped on the street outside.

This made Chen Feng wonder if the past tracking had been a case of mistaken identity?

Or was it...

because he had entered the Core Class?

As these thoughts flickered through his mind, the supermarket door issued the mechanical tone of entry once again.

Together with it, a not-too-loud, not-too-soft laughter followed.

"Sun Zhi really has money, buying a necklace just like that."

"You’re really something, Han Yue."

Customers entered the supermarket, two young girls in their early twenties.

One had wavy long hair, heavily made up, and was quite tall, wearing a strappy long dress.

The other, dressed similarly, had a tight crop top that emphasized her figure.

"Hm?" He raised an eyebrow.

Chen Feng felt that he had seen one of them before, the one in the strappy dress.

He did not think much of it and stood behind the cash register waiting for the two to finish picking out their drinks and ready to pay.

"It’s not enough, I feel like he’s still not treating me well enough, I want to test him further."

"Not good enough? Alright, then keep testing."

"Anyway, Sun Zhi is dead set on chasing you, just go to the luxury shops a few more times and have him buy a few bags to see his sincerity..."

The girl in crop top seemed to be advising her friend in the strappy dress, who nodded in agreement, readying to scan the code to pay.

"How much?"

"Eleven yuan," Chen Feng replied.

"Okay, let me scan... Hm?"

The strappy dress girl paused in her action, frowning slightly at Chen Feng.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she questioned uncertainly, "Chen Feng?"

"Hm?"

Chen Feng frowned.

"Old classmate, I’m Han Yue, don’t you remember?" The strappy dress girl relaxed her brows, laughing teasingly.

Hearing this, Chen Feng was momentarily stunned, and then realized why she had seemed familiar.

Han Yue, an old high school classmate and someone he had a crush on during the three years of high school.

But unlike the youthful shyness of the past, her current flamboyant makeup had indeed changed her appearance significantly.

"Why didn’t you come to the reunion a couple of days ago?"

"I was busy."

Chen Feng replied succinctly, expressionless.

"Really?" Han Yue raised her eyebrows, seemingly unused to his indifferent demeanor.

Then she took a quick up and down look at Chen Feng.

"Not bad, Chen Feng, you’re looking quite fit. Have you been exercising regularly?"

Chen Feng nodded lightly, as a polite response.

"Why are you cashiering here? I remember you had good grades, didn’t you study hotel management?" Han Yue continued, smiling as if catching up on old times.

"It’s pretty good here."

Chen Feng replied calmly, not elaborating further.

Han Yue nodded, asking no further, but the smile on her face faded slightly.

"Alright, then I’m off."

"Take care."

With a slight nod, Chen Feng listened for the payment confirmation beep and watched the two leave.

At the same time, he faintly overheard a conversation in the breeze.

"Your classmate?"

"Yeah, we were in the same class in high school."

"Pretty stingy, didn’t even offer us a drink."

"It’s normal; I’m not very close to him."

"Better not to be. He’s just a cashier now, probably not doing well. You should keep a tight hold on Sun Zhi..."
