Stunned, Cheng Qingyu stood straight as a ramrod. “The other students in the class are also doing well. Student Chu Heng is not bad, and he has practiced before too.”

Fighting with a girl, especially Qin Ran, he was afraid he would go overboard and strike too hard. What if he injured the freshman king of Beijing University?

Besides, Cheng Juan, Old Master Cheng, and his own parents would never let him go.

Cheng Juan ignored him and glanced at Qin Ran.

Under the sunlight, she still heard his words despite being distracted and instantly sobered up.

Fight?

“Report. Can I use my full strength?” She looked up.

Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow and very indulgently said, “Of course.”

These days, Qin Ran was a little lazy no matter what she did. However, since she was indeed very talented, Cheng Qingyu had been helpless in the end and had even succumbed to his fate.

While climbing the mountain with heavy loads yesterday, she had held two people’s weights by herself. By the time the others reached the mountain top, she was already sleeping under a tree.

Cheng Qingyu always felt like her physical endurance was terribly good.

Now…

He glanced at her and was taken aback…

He felt like his eyes must be dazzled. Otherwise, why did he see Qin Ran’s eyes shining faintly?

There were so many boys in the class, anyone of them would be good. Why did it have to be her? He felt very distressed inside.

“Student Qin Ran, you can strike first. I’ll be on the defense.” He took a step back and cupped his fists politely.

Instead of taking off her hat, Qin Ran squeezed her wrists and glanced at him. “Are you very impressive in this place?”

With a cold expression, he replied, “I’m okay.”

He seemed humble.

Qin Ran nodded and gauged his strength.

Class 1 was already sitting on the ground, watching the scene excitedly. The group of boys weren’t afraid of blowing the matter up and shouted, “Qin Ran! You can do it! Knock the instructor down! Knock the instructor down!”

The other training classes not far away heard their shouting and looked over. Were this class’s students crazy?

Did they think their instructor was made of paper!

Especially since their opponent was the Captain, Cheng Qingyu!

In the past two days, Qin Ran’s reputation for being swift and fierce had circulated among the instructors. Several of them wanted to compete directly with her, but Cheng Qingyu had rejected them.

Now that Qin Ran was going to fight against him, the surrounding instructors stopped training and brought their own students to watch the excitement. “Gather! Turn left! Walk in unison! Stop—

“Sit in place!”

The students from the Chemistry Department next door sat on the east side and watched under their instructor’s leadership.

The students from the Mathematics Department next door sat on the west side and watched under their instructor’s leadership.

The students from the Art Department next door sat on the south side and watched under their instructor’s leadership.

Qin Ran’s class sat on the north side.

A bunch of people surrounded her at once.

Glancing at the onlookers, Cheng Qingyu wasn’t strict on them since training was coming to an end and allowed them to watch.

Several instructors didn’t dare to go to Cheng Juan and the middle-aged man and only gathered at the side.

The middle-aged man stood beside Cheng Juan, standing with his hand cupped over the other. When he saw Qin Ran’s fist gesture, he was slightly taken aback. “Young Master Cheng, this classmate has learned so fast? She looks exemplary…”

Qin Ran threw a left uppercut. Cheng Qingyu was pretty sure that she had never systematically trained before, so he didn’t really take this match seriously at first. But when she moved, he could almost hear the swing of her fist blowing in his ear!

His expression instantly changed, and he immediately back-stepped. After years of training, he instinctively felt his adrenaline pumping, which made him quickly strike and ignore his words of staying on defense.

He passively defended.

He even remembered to demonstrate to the freshmen and used the eighth trick to block her.

“Boom—”

The impact was simply too powerful. Even if he did the perfect defense stance, he still couldn’t prevent Qin Ran’s right fist from hitting him. His wrist and abdomen were severely punched, and he unexpectedly fell to the ground.

A huge cloud of dust rose with his fall.

Qin Ran was only trying out new boxing techniques.

What she had learned before were all deadly ultimate moves she had developed herself. Such attacking and defense moves were a first to her, so she didn’t use much strength.

Cheng Qingyu flipped himself up and rubbed his wrist.

Qin Ran’s second offensive move came immediately after.

He had managed to defend himself the first time, but the successive attacks rendered him defenseless.

The third move…

The fourth move…

The fifth move…

…

Throughout the whole process, Cheng Qingyu didn’t have the slightest chance to fight back.

The students and instructors originally applauded and cheered, but after that, no one dared to say anything, and they all stared dumbfounded at the confrontation.

Even the middle-aged man, who was a little worried at first, was now flabbergasted.

Without needing confirmation from Cheng Qingyu, he knew that Qin Ran was the seedling they had talked about the other day.

He already regretted coming here with Cheng Juan today.

To see such a good seedling without being able to obtain it was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

Qin Ran finally withdrew her hands. She reached out to lift her hat and calmly said, “The special training’s boxing is really powerful.”

“Oh, it… it’s this powerful?” After a long while, the Chemistry Department’s instructor stuttered.

The Mathematics Department’s instructor glanced at him. “You’ve learned it as well, don’t you know how powerful it is?”

The Chemistry Department’s instructor immediately stopped talking. He was flabbergasted precisely because he had learned it.

Having stayed at the base these two days, these freshmen also knew that their instructors had been specially trained and weren’t ordinary people.

Furthermore, Cheng Qingyu was the leader. But he had been abused like this…

After that day, the word “Qin Ran” quickly spread among the new students!

The last day of freshman training ended.

Because of Cheng Qingyu’s severe injuries, Cheng Juan took over the last day’s training session.

**

Ten days of training ended in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten days, a group of freshmen remembered nothing else other than the two words “Qin Ran.” Rumors of her quickly spread at Beijing University.

Within a few days, the matter blew up.

After a day off, the freshmen formally started class.

Textbooks were distributed the night before the formal class.

The boys in Class 1 wanted to send the books to their class’s only two girls’ dormitory, but boys couldn’t enter the girls’ dormitory.

While Qin Ran was bathing, Nan Huiyao went down to bring both of their books up.

She kept Qin Ran’s book away and then turned on the computer. “Have any of you heard of Beijing University’s laboratory?”

Yang Yi pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and ignorantly asked, “Laboratory?”

Leng Peishan had never gone to military training. These few days, she had been helping out the Student Union’s seniors. When she heard this, she lightly said, “It’s a place where everyone from the four big departments wants to enter.”

Qin Ran came out of the shower, wearing a long white T-shirt.

After ten days of military training, she was already familiar with Nan Huiyao. Pulling out the chair and propping her legs up, she saw the neatly organized books on the table and calmly said, “Thanks.”

The phone in her hand rang twice.

Looking down, she saw only one word—

Song.

She took her earphones and walked towards the balcony.

“Your training is over?” The voice on the other end of the phone was youthful and elegant.

It was Song Luting, who had never contacted her all this time.

Without drying her hair, Qin Ran leaned on the balcony, staring at the students walking by downstairs. “I just came back this afternoon.”

He laughed, and then took his phone somewhere quiet. “I waited for your military training to end before looking for you. I heard from Dean Jiang that you applied for both the Automation and Nuclear Engineering Departments? How arrogant.”

“So-so.” Qin Ran put her hands on the balcony, sounding quite modest.

“You have full lessons tomorrow?”

After only one glance at her timetable, she had basically memorized it. She thought for a while and replied, “I’m free on my last period in the afternoon.”

“Call me, then.” Song Luting was very busy. After making an appointment with her, he hurriedly hung up. “I already talked to Mingyue. She’ll be free tomorrow afternoon.”

Qin Ran’s phone call this time didn’t last over two minutes. Nan Huiyao put her chin on her hand and asked, “Your classmate?”

“A friend.” She threw the phone on the table with a thud.

Nan Huiyao didn’t gossip further and changed the subject. “By the way, Ran Ran, have you heard of Beijing University’s laboratory?”

“I’m not very sure. You want in?” Qin Ran had only checked several research institutes in Beijing. Beijing University’s laboratory… Song Luting was there. “Don’t worry, it’s not difficult,” she calmly replied.

But he hadn’t told her it wasn’t difficult. She didn’t need to know.

So, she hadn’t studied it in particular, either.

Before entering the institute, the laboratory was the first hurdle.

About to climb out of bed with her mobile phone, Leng Peishan heard Qin Ran’s words and sneered involuntarily. She stared at her indecipherably. “Not difficult? Do you know what the laboratory is?”
