Chapter 43: Let Me Be the Class Leader, I Need More Money

Upon hearing the word "fool," the students' faces didn't look too good.

However, Jun Changkong seemed to be in a better state of mind.

He turned his head to Cheng Han and earnestly asked, "Please enlighten me, junior, why is the Abao Furnace referred to as the 'Furnace of Life' instead of the 'Furnace of the Human Body'?"

It was clear that this person genuinely didn't understand and sincerely sought guidance.

Cheng Han was a bit surprised and explained, "The process of an ordinary person becoming a warrior is essentially the accumulation of strength within oneself until reaching a certain critical point, and then undergoing a transformation.

"Simply put, it is the process of transitioning from a 'low energy level' to a 'high energy level.' Do you think a low energy level can be considered a 'Furnace of the Human Body'?"

Jun Changkong seemed to have an epiphany.

Cheng Han put it more bluntly, "To give an analogy, the 'Furnace of Life' can be seen as a trace of power projected from the Abyss of Source Energy, and the purpose of the Abao Furnace stance is to continuously draw power from the furnace."

Jun Changkong completely understood, "So that's how it is. Thank you, junior, for clarifying."

"Clap! Clap!"

Gu Jinglong clapped his hands forcefully, his gaze filled with admiration. "Cheng Han's explanation can be said to be extremely insightful. Even I would find it difficult to explain it more thoroughly."

He then began to tell a story, "When I served in the Black Armor Army, I witnessed a powerful individual using the Abao Furnace stance. In front of him, a furnace made of flames appeared out of thin air."

This perfectly proved the concept of the "Furnace of Life."

Cheng Han tilted his head slightly, his expression filled with longing.

It seemed that the potential contained within the Jiuyuan Strong Body stance was even greater than he had anticipated.

The students' gazes towards Cheng Han immediately changed.

Originally filled with various forms of dissatisfaction, they now carried a hint of admiration.

Of course, expecting this group of people to completely accept it was impossible. Training cats and dogs both have a process, not to mention humans?

Suddenly, Gu Jinglong changed the topic, "Do you all know why the Preparatory Class of the 15th Middle School has not had a class leader for the past six years?"

Everyone shook their heads together.

Gu Jinglong shouted loudly, "Because for the past six years, Lianlou has not produced an outstanding talent."

Scarface seemed to particularly enjoy mocking others, "Yandongting and I both agree that a group led by a fool will eventually turn everyone into fools. So we will not tolerate a fool becoming the class leader."

This person kept using the word "fool," making many students feel embarrassed.

At this point, everyone understood what the vice principal wanted to do.

Gu Jinglong pointed at Cheng Han, his tone becoming even more forceful, "Starting today, Cheng Han will be the class leader of the Preparatory Class."

Cheng Han gave up struggling.

Fine!

Let the cat be the cat!

Several students showed obvious displeasure.

Being climbed over by a lower-grade student and made to submit to him made them feel uncomfortable.

Gu Jinglong smiled and said, "If anyone wants to oppose, come and take three punches from me. Otherwise, shut up. If I hear anyone muttering again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Several students who harbored complaints all wore submissive expressions, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

With the powerful strength of a warrior, one punch would leave a student half-dead, yet this guy had the audacity to say three punches. Truly shameless.

Gu Jinglong continued, "I don't want to deal with trivial matters anymore. From now on, if any of you have any issues, you must report to Cheng Han first, and then Cheng Han will come to me."

This was clearly to establish the authority of the class leader.

Scarface, the vice principal, immediately offered a benefit, "In addition, as the class leader of the Preparatory Class, you will receive an additional allowance of fifteen silver coins per month."

Cheng Han calmly looked at him and said in a clear voice, "I think the allowance is too little."

If you want me to be the catfish of the Preparatory Class, this amount of money is not enough!

Moreover, he received eighty silver coins in monthly subsidies, while the class leader's allowance was only fifteen silver coins. It was too meager.

Everyone in the room looked at him.

He dared to bargain, truly impressive!

Gu Jinglong laughed heartily, "You're an interesting kid."

If it were anyone else making such a demand, Scarface would have kicked them away long ago. But he held Cheng Han in high regard and didn't show any signs of anger.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Jinglong offered a higher price, "Even Yandongting, that stingy guy, is willing to pay. I can't be too stingy either. Let's raise the allowance to fifty silver coins."

Cheng Han politely replied, "Thank you, Principal Jinglong."

The others once again looked at him in surprise.

He actually succeeded!

Not only did he succeed, but he also managed to triple the amount. This junior really had some ability.

Gu Jinglong waved his right hand, "Let's start practicing the Abao Furnace stance."

Everyone immediately started moving.

*

Half an hour later.

Cheng Han was once again surrounded by onlookers.

He assumed a posture of holding a stove, with a faint heat rising from the top of his head and a slight reddishness visible on his skin.

All the students around were stunned.

In the preparatory class, Jun Changkong was the best at the stove-holding posture, but he was only at this level, right?

Jun Changkong had been in Lan Lou for over a year, but how long had Cheng Han been there?

Such talent, truly remarkable!

Gu Jinglong looked at him in astonishment and praised, "To reach the entry level so quickly, very impressive!"

Many students were deeply moved.

Even though they had been in the preparatory class for so long, it was the first time they had heard the vice principal Scarface say "very impressive" as an evaluation.

The difference between people is indeed too great.

At this moment, even the students who were most resistant to the appointment of the class leader had to admit that this third-year student who had just entered Lan Lou today was indeed the most suitable candidate for class leader.

After a while.

Cheng Han stopped the stove-holding posture and smiled happily.

In the eyes of others, he was excited about the progress he had made.

But in reality, it was not the case.

Perhaps it was because of the "stove fire" during the practice just now, the True Flame Residual Seal was unexpectedly triggered.

Cheng Han decisively performed an analysis and once again completed 0.18% of the Residual Seal, reaching a completeness of 3.3% in one fell swoop.

In addition, he also mastered a very useful new technique.

All in all, it was an unexpected gain.

*

After school.

Cheng Han encountered a small trouble - his bicycle broke down, how was he going to get home?

That fierce Banzhan Hand had severely deformed the bike, rendering it worthless and only fit for scrapping.

He stood at the school gate, sighed, and started walking.

Let's just consider it as exercising.

At this moment.

A clear and pleasant female voice floated over: "Cheng Han, why did you take so long to come out? I've been waiting outside for so long because of you."

It was Qian Qingqing.

Cheng Han turned around and saw a beautiful figure, and he asked in surprise, "Why haven't you gone home yet?"

As soon as the words came out, he immediately understood the reason.

The training class just now was delayed by nearly twenty minutes by Gu Jinglong, and after the training ended, there was still the need to bathe and change clothes, which caused him to come out half an hour later than usual.

In other words, the little girl had waited in the cold wind for twenty minutes.

Qian Qingqing rubbed her cold and tender hands and smiled like a flower, "I know your bike is in a terrible state, do you want me to give you a ride?"

Cheng Han's gaze flickered, and he asked in return, "Are you cold?"

Qian Qingqing shook her head repeatedly, "It's okay."

She immediately asked again, "What about my question? Are you going to take the ride or not?"

Cheng Han nodded first, "Of course I'll take it!"

Since there was a crystal energy car to hitch a ride on, only a fool would walk!

He wasn't like some people who were so self-conscious that they would suffer just to save face.

He continued, "Today I learned a move in the Sealing Class, let me demonstrate it to you?"

Without waiting for the little girl to answer, he immediately assumed a stove-holding posture and clapped his hands on her shoulders.

"Smack!"

At the same time, he activated the True Flame Residual Seal.

Qian Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, "Huh!"

The little girl clearly felt a warm heat suddenly appear out of thin air, quickly flowing from her shoulders to her whole body, instantly dispelling the cold.

She exclaimed admiringly, "Cheng Han, you're amazing!"

At this moment, the little girl's heart and eyes were filled with her desk mate.

She sincerely felt that Cheng Han was a great warm-hearted guy.

*

Several tens of meters away.

A figure with short hair silently watched for a while.

She pursed her lips and turned to another crystal energy car parked in the distance.
