Ye Hao sat up at once. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes before staring at the ceiling once again. To his joy and contentment, he was still able to see through towards the sky.
"Is there a time limit to using the see-through ability?" Ye Hao contemplated to himself, "And it will only recover after a certain period of time."
The more Ye Hao thought, the more viable this reasoning sounded. His heart became very excited.
At this time, Ye Hao remembered that he didnât eat much previously. After further resting for a little while, he came out of his room and saw his mother who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Ye Hao came to the kitchen and took up a freshly-cooked piece of egg pancake before stuffing it in his mouth.
"Be careful," Guo Xiu hurriedly said.
"It's not that hot." Ye Hao ate the egg pancakes on the plate in a few bites before staring at the uncooked pancakes in the pan.
"Wait a moment." Guo Xiu looked at Ye Hao lovingly before saying with a smile
It didn't take long for Guo Xiu to spread out another round of pancakes.
Ye Hao stretched out his hands impatiently
"Itâs hot, careful!" Guo Xiu was anxious.
Paying no heed to his motherâs words, Ye Hao gobbled up the steaming-hot pancakes without a flinch.
"This child!" Guo Xiu watched as Ye Hao ate by mouthfuls and scolded, "Are you not afraid of burning yourself?!"
"It wasnât hot though..." Ye Hao scratched his head.
But how can pancakes that just came directly out of the pan not be hot?
Is it that Iâm immune to high temperatures?
Ye Hao had this sudden thought and ran towards the living room. Picking up a teapot, he poured himself a cup of hot water before dipping his finger in, testing the temperature.
The temperature of the water was a little hot but it was easily within his tolerance range.
"Thisâ" Ye Hao shouted in amazement.
It seemed that the Divine Blood not only changed his eyesight and hearing but all aspects of him.
While Ye Hao was meditating in his room, the tired Ye Zhiguo pushed open the door and came in. He saw Ye Hao with a smile on his face and asked caringly, "Little Hao, how are you feeling today?"
"Iâm feeling okay." Ye Hao stood up and replied spiritedly.
"Well, that's fine." Ye Zhiguoâs face brightened a bit as he went to his room. After a while, he returned in a set of new clothes.
"Little Hao, howâs your recovery going?" Ye Zhiguo examined more in detail as he walked over.
"I'm as healthy as before." Ye Hao replied softly.
"Good, good. If thatâs the case then you can attend class later." Ye Zhiguo said in deep thought.
"Husband, what are you talking about?" Guo Xiu, who was previously cooking in the kitchen, came towards them with a dissatisfied expression, "Let the child rest for a few days."
"Are you not afraid of delaying Little Hao's studies?" Ye Zhiguo scratched his head helplessly.
"He already missed so many classes, what harm will a few more do? Itâs better if he rests more first." Guo Xiu glared fiercely at Ye Zhiguo.
"Thisâ okay." Ye Zhiguo could only compromise under the threatening stare of his wife.
"Mom, itâs fine. Iâll go to school later. I still have a lot of catching up to do." Ye Hao spoke up at this moment.
"But your body." Guo Xiu was worried.
Ye Hao interrupted Guo Xiu's words and assured, "Mom, I'm really okay."
"Sigh, if thatâs what you want." Truthfully, Guo Xiu also wanted Ye Hao to return to school, but her priority concern was still his bodyâs condition.
After eating, Ye Hao pushed and rode his bicycle towards Jiangnan No. 2 Middle School.
There were four middle schools in Jiangnan City. The No. 1 Middle School was known as The Proud School of Heaven because as long as one could get admitted, it was equivalent to getting a diploma from an average college or university in terms of reputation.
Of course, The No. 2 Middle School was inferior to the No. 1 Middle School, but being able to attend its key class was akin to stepping on the path towards an outstanding university if one did well.
The reason why Ye Hao could attend the key class was all because of his fatherâs connections. In fact, many students utilized connections in order to make it in. However, not many students could make use of the opportunity and achieve outstanding results. Ye Hao was an example.
Ye Hao kept to himself after coming to his class. There were just too many strange new faces.
Suddenly, a shocked voice sounded behind him, "Ye Hao?!"
"Zhou Shuai." Ye Hao asked after seeing Zhou Shuai. "Is it this termâs second shift?"
Zhou Shuai was Ye Hao's desk buddy. The relationship between the two was not bad.
"Yeah, the second shift," Zhou Shuai stepped forward and hugged Ye Hao's shoulder, "I say, what happened to you kid? Comatose for half a year?"
"It's a long story." Ye Hao brushed it off. He certainly wouldnât tell Zhou Shuai about his own fortunes.
"After you nearly kicked the bucket, a new principal came to our school. The principal announced a major decision as soon as he came," Zhou Shuai explained while leaning on a nearby desk, "Do you know that we have to take a test every month? Every time the results of the monthly test come out, the whole school gets ranked. The top 60 students go to the first class, and the 61st to 120th students go to the second class and so on."
"Wouldn't that greatly shift the whole balance of the school?" Ye Hao was startled when he heard this.
"Does it not?" Zhou Shuai agreed and said, "So now the school's students are brimming with energy, going overtime and beyond to learn. After all, who doesnât want to improve their ranking and secure their places in the first class?"
"Canât forget about avoiding shame and humiliation too, though.â Ye Hao chuckled bitterly as he remembered his past experiences.
âWell, the point is that parents also get embarrassed. I took the monthly test and ranked 118th, almost falling out of key class." Zhou Shuai chuckled wryly with a look of frustration, "I estimate that half a month from now, I have to go to three extra classes in preparation for the next exam."
"Why is my seat still next to you?" Ye Hao looked at his desk and books.
"Isn't your situation special? For now, you can stay in the original class, but you have to take the exam and your class will be set according to your grades." Zhou Shuai blinked at Ye Hao and said, "This was all thanks to all your buddies pleading with the old witch. Based on this sentiment, will you treat me to some teppanyaki[1]?"
"You can add spicy strips."
Ye Hao chatted with Zhou Shuai while organizing his desk before turning open a history textbook.
As early as many years ago, the liberal arts and sciences were not divided into subjects, but now the era of omnipotence (all-roundedness) is emphasized.
The nine disciplines of Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, Biology, and Geography, among which, Chinese and Mathematics are 150 points, and the other seven such as English are 100 points.
Therefore, the full score of these nine disciplines is one thousand points.
Generally speaking, you can get to the undergraduate level if you can get the seven hundred points, and you can almost go to a key university if you can get the eight hundred points.
And if you can achieve nine hundred points you may be admitted to the top six universities inChina.
Ye Hao looked at the history book in his hand with surprise and excitement.
In order to verify the conjecture in his heart, Ye Hao closed the book before meditating on the content he just read.
Ye Hao opened the history book again and took in a breath of air.
