Chapter 31: Cheng Han Actually Concealed His Strength

As Cheng Han entered the classroom, he immediately noticed that there were fewer people than usual. Even Qian Qingqing, who usually arrived early, was nowhere to be seen.

The classmates present had a generally unpleasant expression on their faces, likely due to the Xuan Gui Shi detection they had undergone.

The classroom seemed quieter than usual, lacking the usual liveliness.

Cheng Han put down his backpack and looked at the classmates beside him, asking, "Did many people take leave?"

As the class monitor, it was his basic responsibility to understand the situation of his classmates.

A male student eagerly answered, "I heard that something happened in Jinglin Fang. Some of our classmates live in that area, so they were probably affected."

Another female student took over, saying, "I heard a strange howl early in the morning, and I felt uncomfortable all over. I originally wanted to take leave, but my dad insisted that I come to school."

As the class monitor, Cheng Han held a position of power in the class, and recently, his performance had been particularly outstanding. Therefore, the classmates had the intention to please him, which was quite normal.

Wen Jie, who sat in the back row, wanted to answer the question, but his slow response caused him to close his mouth.

Originally, Wen Jie had never seen eye to eye with Cheng Han, but since the latter became the class monitor, Wen Jie no longer had the intention to compete with him. Instead, he wanted to ease the tension between them.

Perhaps it was Cheng Han who brought up the topic, but other classmates also began discussing the various strange events of the day, and the classroom became lively.

"When I went upstairs in the morning, I saw that the classroom of Class 2 in the fourth grade was sealed off. The other classes were fine. What's going on?"

"Could something have happened in Class 2?"

"It's possible!"

Cheng Han remained silent.

Qin Zicheng was a student in Class 2 of the fourth grade.

The other students in that class had suffered unjustly.

One classmate sighed, "A few days ago, there was a monster in the textile factory. It feels like Qinglin City is becoming more and more dangerous."

This statement resonated with many classmates, who voiced their agreement.

"I feel the same way."

"Ordinary people are really powerless."

There were also some classmates who didn't speak, but their faces showed a worried expression.

Cheng Han thought for a moment and said loudly, "Fellow classmates, I don't think we need to be so pessimistic."

Now he was considered an authoritative figure in the class, and everyone quieted down to listen to him.

Cheng Han continued, "Looking at it from a different perspective, can we pretend that they don't exist just because we haven't discovered them? Obviously not! The authorities have identified and eliminated a large number of monsters lurking in the shadows, making Qinglin City safer. Isn't that a good thing?"

He activated his Ling Huan residual imprint with his spiritual power, subtly influencing the subconscious of his classmates and changing their mindset.

Cheng Han raised his voice, "If the authorities don't take action for a long time, that would be the worst thing, because the enemy will become stronger without being restrained, and they might cause even greater destruction."

The residual imprint had been significantly replenished just now, making its effect much stronger than before.

The students' expressions visibly became more excited.

Many people nodded repeatedly.

Cheng Han looked around and concluded, "So I think we don't need to worry so much..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cheer interrupted him.

"Well said!"

The voice came from outside the corridor.

It was their homeroom teacher, Yan Dongshan.

He walked in briskly, clapping his hands a few times, and praised, "Cheng Han's words make a lot of sense."

Behind him, Wan Tengjiao walked in quickly.

The short-haired girl stole a few glances at Cheng Han and greatly admired him.

She thought to herself that if it were her, she wouldn't be able to inspire the morale of her classmates with just a few words.

Yan Dongshan announced some news, "I believe everyone has heard that the classroom of Class 2 in the fourth grade has been sealed off, and all the students from Class 2 have been transferred elsewhere."

"I just learned from the principal's office that the authorities found something suspicious earlier, but after a detailed inspection, it was confirmed to be a false alarm."

Upon hearing this, most of the students breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Han blinked.

The other students couldn't detect any flaws, but as the "director behind the scenes" of this play, he immediately understood the intentions of the authorities.

Undoubtedly, the authorities did not intend to make Qian Zicheng's situation public. They would most likely find an excuse for him to "transfer schools" and explain his disappearance.

Although many people around the scene had witnessed the extraordinary battle, the authorities definitely had means of "modifying memories." They just needed to send someone to handle it, and this matter would be suppressed.

Yan Dongshan announced another piece of good news: "There are too many things happening in school today, and many students are on leave. The morning classes have been temporarily canceled and replaced with self-study sessions."

Many students became happy.

Everyone understood that without the teacher's supervision, self-study sessions were essentially free time.

Yan Dongshan instructed, "Wan Tengjiao, Cheng Han, you two will be responsible for maintaining order in the classroom."

The girl with short hair immediately responded, "I understand!"

Cheng Han nodded and said, "Understood."

As soon as the homeroom teacher left, a small commotion broke out in the classroom.

Wan Tengjiao furrowed her brows slightly and tried to stop them, saying, "Everyone, school is a place for learning, please..."

Cheng Han shook his head and interrupted her, saying, "Today's situation is special. As long as it's not excessive, there's no need to emphasize discipline too much."

Wan Tengjiao wanted to argue, "But..."

Cheng Han said seriously, "There is a proper balance in everything. This applies to studying and also to cultivation."

The word "cultivation" was emphasized.

Yesterday, he had conducted multiple simulations in a row and found that even with abundant mental energy, the illusions became increasingly blurry as he progressed. However, after a deep sleep, the clarity would greatly improve.

This proved that proper relaxation was not a bad thing.

And this girl seemed to have a bit of a fanaticism for cultivation. Taking into account the lunch incident last time, he had subtly advised her.

The atmosphere in the classroom immediately became tense.

After all, a conflict had occurred between the "number one" and "number two" figures in the class, which was not a good thing.

Wan Tengjiao understood the underlying meaning and pursed her lips, taking the initiative to make a concession, "Alright, Cheng Han, you're right. Let's do it your way."

The girl with short hair didn't say anything else and sat down on her own.

After a moment of silence in the classroom, the buzzing of discussions resumed.

With his keen hearing, Cheng Han heard fragments of conversations about himself.

"Wan Class Leader has never submitted to anyone. I don't know how many arguments she had with Fang Han before. It's really rare that she's willing to listen to Cheng Han this time."

"I just realized today that Cheng Han is so amazing!"

Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

What a bunch of gossipers!

*

After lunch.

The lockdown was lifted.

Most of the students who had taken leave returned to school, and the teaching order returned to normal.

The first class in the afternoon was meditation class.

In the past, Fang Han and Wan Tengjiao were the center of attention among their classmates.

But in this class, Cheng Han became the absolute focus.

His significant progress in the previous two meditation classes had been intentionally leaked by Qiu Yuan. The praise from the inspector this morning had spread throughout the class.

At this moment.

Inside the meditation room, Cheng Han felt the numerous glances stealing looks at him, feeling extremely helpless.

I'm not a beauty, is it necessary for you all to do this?

Qiu Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I plan to adjust the observation order. Cheng Han will be in the first group alone, and the original first group will become the second group, and so on."

One person per group, this was extremely unreasonable.

But no one objected.

Cheng Han had a bad feeling and his eye twitched.

What does Qiu Teacher want to do by suddenly arranging it this way?

Qiu Yuan's tone suddenly became serious, "Cheng Han, for this observation of the Mysterious Spirit Wall, I hope you will give it your all and not hold back."

The whole class erupted in commotion.

Wan Tengjiao also looked surprised.

She heard that Cheng Han's previous observation time was forty-four seconds, which ranked in the top three in the class. Could it be that he had been hiding his true abilities?

Cheng Han sighed deeply in his heart.

Can't I just be a low-key high school student?
