章 7: Different Mentality

編集者: Atlas Studios

After two seconds of silence, Dong Fang screamed.

"Ah—my cup! My beloved cup! You've accompanied me for three years, but you're gone just like that!"

Looking at the tears flowing down Dong Fang's chubby face, even though he had seen it countless times, Chu Nan still felt his hair stand on end.

This guy looked extremely 'bulky' on the outside, but in reality, he was like a young girl who was meticulous and extremely fragile.

However, at this moment, something more important attracted Chu Nan's attention.

He raised his head and waved his right hand in the air. As expected, he could still clearly obtain the extremely detailed statistics when he waved his right hand.

Looking around, Chu Nan discovered that other than the physical data, when he focused his attention on something, he could also obtain the relevant data.

For example, when he saw a book on the table, he could clearly tell that the length of the left and right sides of this book were 0.1634658 meters and 0.1637562 meters, the width of the top and bottom sides were 0.0835485 meters and 0.0835163 meters.

When he felt that the room was a little hot, he could immediately sense that the temperature in the room was currently 28.34854 degrees.

When he focused his attention on Dong Fang's cries, he discovered that this fellow's howls could actually maintain above 73 decibels, at most 86.34325 decibels!

"Am I still dreaming?" Chu Nan pinched his cheeks. "Gasp! It hurts! Looks like I'm not dreaming."

However, if it was not a dream, did that not mean that Chu Nan could do the same in reality as yesterday afternoon?

In that dream, Chu Nan relied on his powerful data collection, analysis, and processing ability to obtain 27 consecutive victories in a battle against Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists!

If this could happen in reality…

Chu Nan gulped. This thought was too crazy!

At this moment, Dong Fang finally put away his cries and tidied up the glass fragments. After carefully wrapping them up, he came to Chu Nan and discovered that he was still in a daze. He could not help but push him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you today? You don't look right."

"Ah? Ah… Ah, nothing. I'm just hungry." Chu Nan hurriedly suppressed his imagination and touched his stomach.

"Nonsense, you didn't eat last night. It would be strange if you weren't hungry." Dong Fang rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand, "Let's go eat a big meal. Your treat!"

"Why?"

"Rubbish, my glass cup shattered. Aren't you going to comfort me?"

"You screwed up, okay?"

"So be it. You have to comfort me anyway!"

"Damn, I'm not your mother…"

...

After wolfing down a meal in the dining hall with Dong Fang, the two of them arrived at the academy's third combat arena.

This was the exclusive combat arena for the second grade of the West Cloud Academy that they belonged to. Generally, when they needed to hold a public lecture, they would gather here.

As soon as he stepped into the arena, Chu Nan saw that Luo Li, known as the "Idol of the Academy", was standing beside Yu Wanqing and laughing.

Although Yu Wanqing had an impatient expression, she seemed to be embarrassed to flare up in front of so many people, so she just kept a cold face and ignored Luo Li.

"That guy, Luo Li, why can't he take a look at himself in the mirror? He actually wants to court Yu Wanqing?" When he saw Chu Nan's gaze focused on Luo Li and Yu Wanqing, Dong Fang sneered in disdain. Then, he went to Chu Nan's ear and lowered his voice, "Chu Nan, I heard that Luo Li beat you yesterday?"

Chu Nan glanced at him and did not answer.

"Damn, so it's true!" Dong Fang immediately obtained the answer from Chu Nan's reaction and was instantly furious, "This guy is so arrogant! Chu Nan, do you want me to find a few people to teach him a lesson and avenge you?"

Chu Nan glanced at him again but still did not answer.

Dong Fang immediately raised his hands like a deflated ball.

"Alright, alright. I know that you have a strong self-esteem and are unwilling to let me help you. However, Chu Nan, it's not that I'm belittling you, but… when will you be able to defeat him?"

Chu Nan smiled, "Perhaps I can later."

Nearly an hour had passed since he woke up. Chu Nan could already confirm that he indeed had an incomparably powerful ability to collect and analyze data like he did in the virtual space yesterday afternoon.

Yesterday, in virtual space, even if he did not have the data collection, analysis, and processing ability, he could still defeat Luo Li. Now, with this terrifying ability, it was too easy to defeat him.

Hearing Chu Nan's answer, Dong Fang was stunned before he shook his head.

In his opinion, Chu Nan's words were undoubtedly comforting himself.

Chu Nan was only an initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist while Luo Li was a fifth-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. In his opinion, the difference between the two sides was worlds apart. It was impossible for Chu Nan to be Luo Li's match.

Chu Nan could naturally see his thoughts from Dong Fang's expression, but he only smiled and did not explain.

The two of them were just about to walk into the arena and find a seat to sit down separately when Yu Wanqing finally could not stand Luo Li's pestering. She stood up and prepared to change places.

As Yu Wanqing stood up, Luo Li's gaze also rose and he happened to see Chu Nan and Dong Fang.

At this moment, Luo Li was furious because of Yu Wanqing's indifference. When he saw Chu Nan, his eyes immediately lit up and he arrived in front of him with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this our virgin classmate? I thought you were bedridden today."

Luo Li clearly referred to Chu Nan as a "virgin¹" provocatively. Coupled with the obvious mockery in his tone, it immediately caused many of the students who were similar to him to roar with laughter.

Chu Nan looked at the strange smile on Luo Li's face and suddenly realized that he did not feel angry at all.

If it was in the past, if Luo Li were to mock him like this, he would definitely be extremely furious. However, at the same time, he knew that he was not Luo Li's match, so he could only endure it. In this way, he would naturally feel extremely aggrieved in his heart.

However, after just a day, Chu Nan discovered that Luo Li's actions were no different from a clown's. He only felt that it was laughable and could not anger him at all.

A trace of understanding arose in Chu Nan's heart.

Yesterday, in virtual space, he was so powerful that he could easily defeat Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists.

Having experienced this, he naturally did not take a mere Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist like Luo Li seriously.

Although Chu Nan knew that he was still a mere initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist in reality, he also had a powerful ability to gather data, analyze it, and deal with it. Moreover, with his long period of cultivation in the virtual space and tens of thousands of combat experiences, his horizons had already greatly expanded, and his confidence was incomparable to before.

In the future, he believed that he would definitely be able to obtain achievements that were even stronger than in virtual space. It was not even impossible for him to become a Star-Grade Martial Artist!
