Mu Lan and Beng Zeng, now on their way to school, were extremely exhausted. They were looking forward to resting in class, the only place they could find some peace.

Within ten minutes, they arrived at school and saw that there were only five minutes left before their technical botany class began. Without stopping anywhere, they headed straight to the classroom. They took their seats in the middle of the last row and rested their heads on the desks. Beng Zeng immediately fell asleep.

Mu Lan, however, found himself gazing at Xia Lei, who sat diagonally from him. Her silver hair reached her shoulders, complemented by a pair of green eyes that revealed her beauty. Her physique was something every man dreamed of. Mu Lan had fallen in love with her at first sight, but in his previous life, he never confessed his feelings, leaving a deep regret in his heart. He vowed not to repeat the same mistakes in this life. However, confessing to Xia Lei was not on his mind at the moment. After soaking in the sight of his dream girl, Mu Lan also fell asleep, as he was equally tired.

The teacher entered the classroom and greeted the students before starting the lesson.

About half an hour later, Mu Lan was awakened by the teacher's shouting. Looking at the teacher, he replied, "What happened?" No one in the class dared to speak to the teacher in such a manner, and the other students pitied Mu Lan for his audacity.

"How dare you sleep in my class?" the teacher barked.

Mu Lan continued to respond nonchalantly, "Your class isn't interesting to me, and we're tired. Let us sleep. You can teach the others."

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Very well, I will allow it, but I need to test if you truly deserve to sleep in my class. Otherwise, I'll throw you out and discuss this with your parents. But if you earn it, you can sleep as much as you like, and your friend can sleep too."

Mu Lan knew this was coming. Previously, another student had slept in class and defied the teacher, and he was given similar options. It seemed this was the teacher's only amusement, as no one could answer his questions. After all, someone who never loses isn't afraid of gambling.

"Alright, I'm waiting for your question," Mu Lan said.

The teacher asked a question he was certain Mu Lan couldn't answer because they hadn't covered that topic yet. "What is the most important event in technical botany? Go ahead, answer and sleep as you wish."

Mu Lan had anticipated this question and immediately answered, "The most important event in technical botany is the fusion of plants or fruits. For example, merging a banana and an orange to combine their flavors into one fruit. Doesn't an apple with the taste of orange and banana sound amazing? This is the most significant event in technical botany, and it also involves maximizing production from plants and fruits."

Both the teacher and the students were shocked by Mu Lan's detailed answer. No one expected him to know the answer.

"If there's no other question, I'm going back to sleep. Don't bother us until noon," Mu Lan said calmly and went back to sleep. Beng Zeng, now feeling proud, also returned to sleep, knowing he had earned the right to rest.

They slept until noon. When lunchtime came, they headed to the cafeteria to eat. They needed to replenish the energy they had expended. They quickly grabbed their plates of food and sat down at a table.

As they ate, they found that one plate wasn't enough. They went back for a second plate. Then a third. Then a fourth. Finally, after their fifth plate, they felt replenished. The other students in the cafeteria were astonished to see them eating five plates each. Some even took photos. While it was normal for Beng Zeng to eat that much, no one expected the slender Mu Lan to consume as much.

After finishing their meal, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng left the cafeteria. They headed to the school's rooftop to practice the techniques they had learned. They wanted to improve their bodies as much as possible before the afternoon classes started. The more they trained, the better they would become.

After half an hour of training on the rooftop, they returned to class for the remaining lessons. They completed the last two classes and then headed home, eager to continue their training.

Mu Lan and Beng Zeng arrived home and resumed their training. They even exchanged a few blows, as fighting was one of the best ways to train the body.
