Chương 159: He did it again!

Since the spiritual energy overflowed and nourished all things, the land, sky, and ocean of the blue planet have been quietly and subtly changing.

Not only did humans experience a significant improvement in their physical condition due to the absorption of spiritual energy, but animals, plants, and even mountains and rivers also underwent subtle changes.

However, this change is a gradual process that unfolds over time.

It is not easily noticed by ordinary people.

As a Grandmaster of the Divine Void Realm, Zhao Rui's perception of heaven and earth is much more acute than that of ordinary people.

Having memories of his past life, he naturally noticed many differences.

These differences are gradually changing the fundamental scientific theories of Earth.

"We hope that technological advancements can promptly adjust to and compensate for these changes."

Zhao Rui wasn't one of those genius scientists; he was truly powerless against these subtle changes in the laws of physics.

The revival of spiritual energy has undoubtedly brought enormous individual benefits to martial artists and even ordinary people.

However, it has also had a huge impact on existing physical laws.

Therefore, everything has two sides.

What the future holds remains to be seen; in the face of nature's immense power, ordinary people can only move forward with awe.

Jeju City!

Zhao Rui got off the train carrying his suitcase.

The familiar platform and familiar surroundings made him take a long breath.

The border defense line is ultimately a desolate place, with a dry climate and a cold environment, which is really incomparable to Dongqi Province.

"It feels so good to be home! A year has passed in the blink of an eye."

Liu Huaijin followed behind, carrying his suitcase, and said with a smile.

There were about ten people when they went, but only the two of them were assigned to the same military headquarters, so there was no special car to pick them up.

"yes!"

Zhao Rui nodded and was about to step off the platform when he heard the anxious voice of a station staff member beside him: "No climbing over the fence!"

"You're breaking the law, do you know that?!"

Zhao Rui and Liu Huaijin looked in the direction of the sound and saw seven or eight passengers carrying suitcases using their light-footed skills to leap over the railings by the platform and take a shortcut to leave the station.

This……

Putting everything else aside, just looking at this alone, you can see what kind of changes the nationwide martial arts movement has brought to society.

In the past, martial artists were a minority; most were trained step by step from a young age. When they were out in the world, they would still care about their reputation to some extent.

The martial artists of today are diverse and of varying quality, posing a real challenge to the current government.

With someone taking the lead, the others' eyes lit up, and many began to walk to the side.

"These people have absolutely no manners!"

Liu Huaijin said with dissatisfaction.

Zhao Rui smiled, secretly opened his palm and waved it against the wall. Instantly, an ice wall as long as a rainbow covered the fence.

This ice wall isn't thick, but it's extremely long, and most importantly, it has transparent characters formed by ice holes on it!

"Practice social civility and be an outstanding Chinese citizen!"

These words shone brightly and shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

Passengers who had walked to the fence, intending to take a shortcut to leave, stopped and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without saying a word, he sheepishly dragged his suitcase back to the road leading to the next platform.

"Wow, a martial arts master has made a move!"

"Wow! How did this ice wall come about? I didn't even see it."

"So, if I could let you see it, would I still be a Grandmaster?"

"Even the train station is guarded by a grandmaster, tsk tsk, our imperial court is truly wealthy!"

Hearing the whispers around him, Zhao Rui smiled faintly, turned around, and stepped off the platform.

Liu Huaijin stared at the ice wall in astonishment for a long time before he came to his senses.

"He's so incredibly talented!"

His eyes cleared instantly, and he quickly grabbed his suitcase and followed.

More than half an hour later, At the entrance of Dongqi University, Zhao Rui got out of Liu Huaijin's wife's car.

With Liu Huaijin's solicitous smile, I carried my suitcase and walked into the campus.

The long-lost campus scenery and lively, energetic students made him feel as if he had returned to another world.

"Zhao Rui, why didn't you call when you got back!"

Qin Rui walked towards us with a resentful look on her face.

Her slender figure was graceful and elegant.

"Didn't you ask me who I'd see first when I arrived? Whoever calls me first, I'll see first!"

Zhao Rui smiled.

"Ugh! You're so popular!"

Qin Rui rolled her eyes at him, then stared at him intently for a while before murmuring, "I didn't expect you to look so handsome in a military uniform!"

"Just a handsome young man!"

Zhao Rui raised an eyebrow.

Qin Rui pouted slightly, her beautiful eyes darting around, and she actually stretched out her delicate little hand towards Zhao Rui.

"Aren't you afraid someone will see?"

Zhao Rui asked.

"Take it or leave it."

Qin Rui turned her head away, not caring about others. Including the trip to Qingcheng Mountain, Zhao Rui hadn't been by her side for over a year.

Whether he takes the initiative or not, I like it, so I'll take the initiative.

Most importantly, he looks so handsome in that outfit!

Zhao Rui smiled casually, took her hand generously, and then, pulling their luggage, walked together towards Mingchan Courtyard.

"Have you missed me?"

"I've thought about it!"

"Real or imagined?"

"Haven't you heard? After three years in the army, even a sow can turn into Diao Chan!"

"Pah, you're the pig!"

The two were located inside the martial arts academy, and many martial arts students looked at them as they walked.

At first, I was just surprised that Senior Qin had found a boyfriend who was in the military.

Upon closer inspection, they were immediately astonished: "The martial arts team captain, Zhao Rui, is back!"

This is big news.

"This is going to be good!"

The students from the martial arts academy all showed expressions of excitement.

One by one, they took out their phones and started spreading the news of Zhao Rui's return.

Soon the entire college knew the news.

In the meditation room on the mountain in front of Mingchan Temple, Zhao Rui looked at the spotless room and asked curiously, "Did you clean this?"

"Otherwise what!"

"Great job!"

Zhao Rui casually put down his suitcase, lay down on the bed, stretched out his arms, and did a big, lazy stretch.

Seeing his roguish behavior, Qin Rui couldn't help but recall how he was back at the academy.

This is a completely different style from the one I saw earlier, who was upright and imposing.

"If I can't figure it out, I'll just have the first taste!"

Qin Rui made up her mind, then suddenly walked to the bedside, lowered her head slightly, and looked at Zhao Rui.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Rui was startled.

Without saying a word, Qin Rui lowered her bright red lips to kiss him.

"Holy crap!"

Zhao Rui was startled: "You're serious!"

While I was hesitating, my phone suddenly rang.

He quickly took the opportunity to sit up, and then took out his phone.

The call was from Li Xinran.

"Hey, Xinran!"

"You're back? You didn't even say anything. I only found out by hearing everyone talking about it."

"I just got back, I'll rest for a bit first."

"Hmm, it was Qin Rui who kept you company, wasn't it? You've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty face!"

Li Xinran muttered in dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing her words, Qin Rui flew into a rage.

She rushed to Zhao Rui's side, snatched the phone, and scolded, "Li Xinran, you ruined my plans! I'm not finished with you!"

"How did I ruin your plans?"

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. Anyway, you ruined my plans!"

Zhao Rui, too lazy to listen to their argument, quickly got up and left the meditation room.

I went outside and looked around.

The autumn air is crisp and clear, the greenery is lush and green, and it still has that familiar feel.

The garden and fish pond at the entrance were also well-maintained, with several goldfish swimming around inside.

Zhao Rui squatted down and leisurely teased the fish for a while before Qin Rui came out with her phone.

"Change into your military uniform, Li Xinran. Lao Cao and the others will be here soon."

"What clothes should I change into when they come?"

"I'm afraid Xinran will become infatuated with you!"

"..."

On my first night back at school, I naturally got together with Li Xinran and others to satisfy my craving for alcohol.

Cao Guannan had only recently returned from the military camp, and the two veterans naturally had a lot to talk about upon meeting.

While in the military, I longed to go home.

Back home, I found myself longing for the atmosphere of the military camp.

This is exactly what it means: "Having just gotten drunk, my heart is already heavy; looking back, it's already yesterday's spring!"

……

The next day, Zhao Rui got up on time and went down the mountain to the martial arts team.

The team members he met along the way all greeted him.

But there wasn't much surprise on his face; clearly, news of his return yesterday had already spread.

Following the gate of the Mingchan Courtyard, Zhao Rui walked straight into the main hall.

"Old Wang, I'm back!"

"You've lost weight, and you've gotten darker!"

Wang Zhanshan sized up Zhao Rui and smiled.

"It's no wonder you get tanned after being exposed to the sun every day."

"You know that Wang Dalong and his group want to challenge you, right?"

"Yes, I know."

"Are you confident? They've made rapid progress this year, so we can't underestimate them."

"It's not a big problem. How much force do you want me to use?"

"You little brat."

With those words from him, Wang Zhanshan understood the situation.

It seems that Zhao Rui did not slack off during his year in the military.

"Come on, I'll take you there. Besides, I'll have to be the referee!"

Wang Zhanshan shook his head helplessly, got up and walked out of the main hall.

Ever since Wang Dalong and Cai Zhengyang broke through to the Grandmaster level, there has been an undercurrent of discontent within the Martial Arts Academy.

That's why we have to appoint someone from the outer academy as the captain of our martial arts team.

Wouldn't that make our martial arts academy students look incompetent?

Our martial arts academy has students who have achieved the rank of grandmaster.

These grievances naturally reached the ears of Wang Dalong and Cai Zhengyang.

These two had already broken through to the Grandmaster level, and with the resurgence of spiritual energy, their martial arts skills were vastly different from before.

With ulterior motives in mind, they immediately found a reason to challenge Zhao Rui.

Publicly and privately, he has repeatedly expressed his desire to fight for the martial arts academy.

It's only human nature!

Autumn colors stretch across the waves, and the cold mist rises in layers of green!

At the martial arts academy's training ground, the team members are practicing martial arts to improve their skills.

With the revival of spiritual energy, not only does the speed of personal cultivation increase, but its power also far surpasses that of the past.

At this point, there wasn't a single member of the entire team below level eight.

There are two Grandmasters and six True Transformation Realm experts.

They are completely different teams compared to before.

Wang Dalong sat cross-legged in the corner, bathed in sunlight, surrounded by a faint aura that refracted the light.

It felt like being in a dream.

"Senior Wang, you're amazing!"

"I heard Captain Zhao is back. Do you think Senior Wang can beat Captain Zhao?"

"I think it's possible. After all, Senior Wang's strength is unfathomable, while Senior Zhao is in the army, fighting and training all day long, so he definitely won't have time to practice martial arts."

"Yes, your analysis is very accurate."

The team members in the distance were whispering and chatting, all extremely interested in what was about to happen.

"Show-off!"

Cai Zhengyang, who was standing not far away, glanced at Wang Dalong with disdain, showing great contempt for his pretentious behavior.

Aren't you tired of pretending to be an expert all the time?

You still have to save face and maintain your composure.

Unlike him.

After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on his lips. He reached out and put his hand on the waist of the junior girl beside him, gently leaned close to her neck, and stroked her hair, saying, "With your senior brother here, I will definitely help you master it."

"Okay, senior brother, I'll do whatever you say!"

If these two were behaving like this, even a dog wouldn't believe there wasn't something wrong with it.

Now that Cai Zhengyang is a grandmaster, Wang Zhanshan is too lazy to bother with him and basically turns a blind eye.

As long as he doesn't go too far, it's fine.

"Um?"

Just then, Wang Dalong, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing across his face.

Cai Zhengyang straightened up slightly and looked towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

The junior student in front of him asked curiously.

"He's here!"

"Who?"

"Zhao Rui!"

Cai Zhengyang released his grip on the beautiful female student's waist and strode directly towards Wang Dalong.

Wang Dalong, who was in the corner, also stood up.

"You go, I go?"

"Let's see who he chooses!"

"In that case, I'll go!"

Cai Zhengyang said disdainfully, "If you don't dare to go, just say so. What are you pretending for?"

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Zhao Rui, you've suppressed me for two years, now it's finally my turn to avenge myself.

Cai Zhengyang clenched his fist secretly.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Before long, Wang Zhanshan and Zhao Rui walked into the training ground together.

"Zhao Rui has successfully completed his sacred military service obligation entrusted to him by the country and is officially returning to school today. Welcome him!"

Wang Zhanshan said loudly.

The team members on the field applauded. Although they were all waiting to see the excitement, they still had great respect for Zhao Rui.

After all, he was extremely kind to everyone when he was the captain.

The reason for this dissatisfaction is that, from the perspective of martial arts students, they understandably want to see if there is a chance to replace the captain with a proper martial arts student.

The one with the ability shall prevail!

Everyone also hopes to see a contest between masters.

"Zhao Rui, say a few words to the team members and tell them about your experience in the military!"

Wang Zhanshan looked at Zhao Rui and spoke up.

Zhao Rui nodded, his gaze sweeping across the room, and then said, "A year in the military went by quickly, but it has been very meaningful to my life..."

"I hope that everyone who has the opportunity can go and see the frontier... This peace did not come easily."

"Alright, let's not talk about these feelings anymore. Before I came here, I heard that someone on our team wanted to challenge me?"

Zhao Rui glanced slightly at Wang Dalong and Cai Zhengyang in the corner.

Cai Zhengyang, who had been so proud and arrogant, twitched his cheeks when he was stared at, and even looked away a little.

I was truly terrified of his schemes.

But only for a moment, he raised his neck and stared straight ahead.

"Not bad, Da Long and I have advanced to the Grandmaster realm, and we would like to spar with you."

Cai Zhengyang said loudly, and after he finished speaking, he straightened his back a bit.

"A friendly spar? Fine, all of you come at me!"

"..."

Shameless! Showing off again!

Cai Zhengyang felt that the courage he had just mustered instantly deflated by half.

He did it again!
