Meng Yanran covered her chest and stepped forward to take Jiang Chen's clothes, her gaze sweeping across Jiang Chen's back, her eyes suddenly focusing intently.

Such solid muscles!

"Hurry up, if class ends, people will come!" Hearing no movement behind him, Jiang Chen softly reminded her.

Meng Yanran's face changed slightly, she glared at Jiang Chen and quickly put on the clothes.

Meng Yanran had just finished dressing when the bell for the end of class rang.

Both of their faces changed at once, and Jiang Chen turned and whispered, "Are you dressed yet?"

"Ah!" Meng Yanran let out an exclamation, hastily backing up two steps, her eyes focusing again, admiring the beautiful muscle definition.

A tremor ran through her heart, and Meng Yanran suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken significantly.

"If you're dressed, let's get out of here quickly, do you really want people to see us like this in the restroom?" Jiang Chen looked at Meng Yanran, whose face was flushed red like a startled rabbit, and couldn't help speaking in exasperation.

Meng Yanran snapped back to reality, her face turning red again, and she fiercely glared at Jiang Chen, "It's all your fault!"

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to react, Meng Yanran rushed out of the restroom!

"I..." Jiang Chen felt he was more wronged than Dou E, scratched his head, and muttered softly, "Women, truly an unreasonable creature!"

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen walked out of the restroom.

"Wow!"

"So handsome!"

"Those muscle lines are just perfect!"

"And he's so good-looking too!"

"So stylish! Much better than those so-called fresh meats who only have their faces!"

As soon as Jiang Chen walked out of the restroom, a series of exclamations erupted in the corridor. A group of girls gazed at the streamlined muscles on Jiang Chen's body, their eyes gleaming with passionate admiration!

Realizing he was still shirtless, Jiang Chen's face tinted slightly red, and he quickly headed downstairs to go back to his car, while a group of girls followed him, all showing a keen interest in Jiang Chen's muscles.

"Stop right there!" When they reached the entrance of the teaching building, a shout rang out, and a group of youths wearing school uniforms with armbands blocked Jiang Chen at the doorway.

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment and looked at their armbands: 'School Discipline Team'!

Seeing a large group of girls following Jiang Chen, the members of the Discipline Team's eyes blazed with jealousy. Damn it, we're all single here, and you're parading around shirtless with a group of girls, how can this be?!

"Which class are you from, and what's your name?" The youth with 'Captain' on his armband pointed at Jiang Chen and shouted loudly.

Jiang Chen helplessly explained, "A girl in our class had torn her clothes, so I gave her mine. I just want to go home to change."

"Wow! Such boyfriend material!"

"Yeah, such a gentleman!"

"Handsome, is that girl your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, is she your girlfriend?"

A chorus of girls called out.

Jiang Chen quickly waved his hands, "No, no, she's not my girlfriend!"

"Not? Great!"

"Right, that's awesome, I'll be your girlfriend then?"

"Me, me, me!"

"I call dibs, he's mine!"

The girls' eyes lit up, and they began to eagerly vie for it.

The members of the disciplinary committee and the other boys around instantly filled with envy as they watched Jiang Chen. The captain of the disciplinary committee glared at Jiang Chen fiercely and said, "Enough with your nonsense, come with us to the school administration. Someone like you must be dealt with!"

As he spoke, the captain of the disciplinary committee reached out to grab Jiang Chen's arm.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and grabbed the captain's wrist. With his other hand, he reached under the captain's shirt hem, gave a forceful lift, and then pushed the captain's neck down as he swiftly moved behind him.

"Whoosh—"

After this slick maneuver, Jiang Chen had an extra school uniform in his hand.

Wearing the captain's uniform, Jiang Chen looked back at him with a smile and said, "Buddy, I really didn't mean to do this, but I've got some errands. I'll just borrow your clothes for a bit!"

As soon as he'd finished speaking, Jiang Chen turned and walked out of the teaching building.

"You..." The captain covered his exposed chest, his face turning bright red as he glared at Jiang Chen, while the other members of the disciplinary committee did nothing to stop Jiang Chen, each showing a look of astonishment.

"Why aren't you stopping him?" The captain glared at his team members angrily.

One member said softly, "Captain, we just recognized him; he's the new king of the rookies! If we stop him, we're just asking for a beating!"

"The new king of rookies?! Jiang Chen?!" The captain was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Hey, look at all the flab on him!"

"That belly looks like he's pregnant!"

"Honestly, without comparison, there's no harm. Look at Jiang Chen, then look at him!"

The group of girls pointed and whispered about the captain.

The captain, looking at his own chicken-like figure, blushed and ran out of the teaching building in panic.

After leaving the school, Jiang Chen headed straight for the Dingjing herbal medicine market.

Although the elixirs mentioned in ancient cultivation techniques were said to help people break through to the Innate Realm, since they hadn't been verified, Jiang Chen wanted to test their effectiveness first to avoid giving Qiu Boyuan hope only to disappoint him later.

Upon reaching the herbal market, Jiang Chen looked around and found a century-old pharmacy, Rejuvenation Hall.

This pharmacy was one of the oldest in Dingjing, allegedly doing business in herbal medicine since the previous dynasties, and had been around for over a hundred years. Here, Jiang Chen should be able to find the herbs he needed.

Entering the pharmacy, the fragrance of medicine wafted over, but Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

There were indeed many medical ingredients here, but something was still off. It wasn't quite what he had imagined.

Thinking so, Jiang Chen walked in front of the medicine cabinets, his face showing increasing disappointment as he shook his head frequently.

Inside the pharmacy counter, a middle-aged man had noticed Jiang Chen's behavior and was immediately displeased, asking impatiently, "Hey, you student, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Chen was still wearing the school uniform he had taken from the member of the school's disciplinary committee. It was obvious at first glance that he was a student.

Therefore, the middle-aged man was even more impatient with Jiang Chen.

"Hello, I'm looking to see if you have any old medicines that have been aged for years!" Jiang Chen said with a light smile to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Chen with amusement: "Old medicine aged for years? Yes, we have, but can you afford it?"

"Whether I can afford it or not is not your concern. If you have it, I'm looking to buy in bulk; you'd better have your boss come out and talk to me!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

The middle-aged man laughed, sized up Jiang Chen again, and said with a smirk, "Kid, I am the manager of this store, Lin Hui. Are you sure you want a large amount of old medicine?"

"Yes, just name the ones you have that I need. I'll take them all!" Jiang Chen nodded.

"Haha, remember, you said that," Lin Hui laughed out loud. "Alright, wait here!"
