Chapter 6: Excited Zhang Haiqiang! A Fantastic ring!
As Zhao Xing and Guan Ya emerged from the dungeon, a bustling scene greeted them at the dungeon’s entrance. Numerous people were coming and going to the lively city of Anyang, which boasted a sizable population and housed dozens of high schools. However, this primary dungeon catered primarily to the leveling needs of the six nearby high schools.
“Teacher Guan Ya.”
“Isn’t that Miss Ya?”
“It’s our school’s teacher.”
Their appearance did not go unnoticed as they encountered classmates from Anyang No. 1 High School. Five boys and girls quickly surrounded Guan Ya, the brilliance of her purple Heavenly Armor suit making her stand out.
“Teacher Guan, why are you here?” Inquired a female classmate.
Considering that primary dungeons were typically for those below level 20, Guan Ya, having surpassed that level, seemed out of place. Some wouldn’t even enter without a special contract.
“Oh, it’s Xiao Min,” Guan Ya smiled.
“Teacher is just here to have a look,” Xiao Min nodded, her gaze shifting to Zhao Xing. “Hey, Zhao Xing is here too. Why are you level 9?”
She remembered Zhao Xing being only level 1 not long ago.

“Uh, this is a long story,” Zhao Xing replied. “Teacher Guan and I just happened to run into each other. You guys chat. I’ll go back first.” With a wave, he bid farewell to Guan Ya.
“Okay, be safe,” Guan Ya waved back.
“Huimin, I’m leaving too. Be careful.”
“Okay, Miss Guan Ya, goodbye.”
“Goodbye, Sister Ya.”
As Guan Ya and Zhao Xing departed, Chen Xiao Min pondered the discrepancy between their story and what she witnessed. Was there a connection between Zhao Xing’s sudden level increase and Guan Ya’s mage attire? Gossip fueled her imagination.
Late at night, Zhao Xing took the express train back to his home in the community. His parents, like many others, were working away, and the brightly lit house greeted him. Upon entering, he discovered his younger brother, Zhao Ming, playing with fire magic.
“Zhao Ming, how many times have I told you not to play with fire at home!” Zhao Xing scolded, concerned about the safety of their living space.
“If you light the house on fire, then where will we live? Under the flyover?” Said Zhao Xing.
“Ouch!” Zhao Ming covered his head, the fireball extinguished, and said, “Brother, I was bored and waiting for you.”
“You’re great at fire magic, aren’t you, rolling fireballs when you’re bored?” Said Zhao Xing.
“You came back so late but also said that I…”
“Oh? How dare you talk back? I think you are itchy.”
“Hey, don’t, don’t, brother, I was wrong,” Zhao Ming quickly apologized, avoiding his brother’s disapproval, despite being a fire mage in his main combat profession.
“Have you eaten yet?” Asked Zhao Xing.
“Not yet,” Zhao Ming replied.
“Then come over and help me cook,” Zhao Xing clapped his hands.
“Brother, what are we eating today?” Zhao Ming’s energy surged at the mention of food.
“Scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
“Ah, scrambled eggs with tomatoes again.”
“Are you eating it or not?”
“Eat, eat, I’ll eat,” Zhao Ming muttered, and then a flame emerged from his palm.
Zhao Xing skillfully set the pan on the ball of fire emitted by his brother. Not long after, the aroma was overflowing. Having a brother with fire magic was a money saver.
“Increase the fire, you want to eat it raw?” Zhao Xing reprimanded.
“Ow, okay.” Zhao Ming hurriedly controlled the flames to become bigger. Ahh, Fire Magic used to cook for his brother. This was really not a mouthful of rice for nothing.
At twelve o’clock, in Nanhu Province Education Department, the meeting at this time had just dispersed. The 11 strongest people hadn’t left yet. The headmaster, Yang Tianming, was anxiously waiting outside the conference room, uncertain about the top’s decision regarding Zhao Xing’s future.
Soon, Zhang Haiqiang walked out. Yang Tianming greeted him eagerly, “Leader, how is it?”
“Don’t worry, he will be treated with top-notch treatment,” Zhang Haiqiang smiled.
“Great.” Yang Tianming clenched his fist. Zhao Xing, a genius from his school, now garnered attention from higher-ups, and he couldn’t be more excited.
“Tianming, go back immediately and make some preparations. I’ll arrange for someone to connect with you,” Zhang Haiqiang instructed. “Make sure to let Zhao Xing feel the country’s sincerity towards him, as well as the confidentiality and security work.”
“Yes, Leader, I will definitely get it done.” Yang Tianming left happily.
As Zhang Haiqiang was about to take a break, a commotion arose in the conference room. Several people gathered around, looking agitated.
“Impossible, how is this possible?”
“Quick, let me try!”
“Come on, I’ll be the test subject. Hit me!”
Zhang Haiqiang approached Elder Lin, the Nanhu Province’s number one enchanter, inquiring about the commotion.
“Elder Lin, what are Elder Liu and Elder Shen doing here? Why are they still fighting here? What’s going on?”
Lin Feng, with an agitated face, explained, “Old Zhang, big discovery, a big discovery! We overlooked a key issue in the meeting — no comprehensive test on that ring!”
Zhang Haiqiang looked serious, “That ring, there’s a problem?”
“No, it’s not a fake! It’s that enchanted ring with extra effects!”
“What’s the problem?”
“The problem is too big! Just now, I put on that ring with the [Knockback] effect and tested it. Do you know what happened? With one punch, I knocked Old Liu back three meters! I’m only a level 51 Enchanter, while Old Liu is a level 60 Sword Fighter!”
Zhang Haiqiang was first puzzled, then reacted violently and asked, “Is what you said true?”
“A thousand times true. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this test of Old Shen and Old Liu!” Lin Feng pointed to the open space in the conference room, where the two were engaged in an exciting demonstration.
