When Liu Yuan entered the classroom, it was already packed with students, all buzzing with speculation about the day’s special training session.
"I heard this year’s special training will be brutal. I wonder if I’ll make the cut," a male student muttered, frowning.
"Yeah, only those who pass the selection get to enter the Origin Realm. If we miss this chance, our combat exams are basically doomed. The pressure’s killing me," a girl beside him sighed, her voice laced with worry.
Liu Yuan took her seat, her own nerves creeping in.
Sure, she had that ridiculously overpowered card, which had boosted her strength considerably, but her real combat experience was still lacking.
Just then, the classroom door swung open, and a tall, imposing man strode in.
Dressed in simple casual wear, his sharp gaze and steady steps marked him as a seasoned fighter.
"Quiet down, everyone."
The teacher clapped his hands, and the room fell silent instantly.
"Greetings. I’ll be your instructor for the ‘special training’ from now on. You can call me Teacher Li," he announced in a booming voice, instantly commanding everyone’s attention.
"The training is straightforward. For the first half, I’ll observe you for a month and select those qualified to enter the Origin Realm."
"Are you all ready?"
"We’re ready!"
Many answered in unison, their voices tinged with anticipation.
"Good. Then let’s head to the training grounds now." Teacher Li gestured for them to follow.
...
By the time they arrived at the training hall of the Sixth Institute, other classes had already set up several sparring platforms, with assistant instructors standing by to supervise and record scores.
Only their class seemed unprepared.
"Next, I’ll assess your abilities and appoint two students with the most combat experience as team leaders. The rest will be randomly assigned to their squads."
Teacher Li stood before the platforms, scanning each student.
"In a month, the entire winning team will advance to the Origin Realm!"
The moment he finished, the room erupted.
"Wait, what? They’re not just picking the top performers? They’re gonna lump us with deadweight?"
"I’m easily top six in this class. Are you saying I could get eliminated just by bad luck?"
"Top six? More like just sixth. Stop inflating your ego. Luck’s part of strength too. I think it’s fair."
"Says the guy ranked at the bottom. Of course you’d defend this—you’ve got nothing to lose. Fair? How is this fair?"
"Hold on, our class has 49 people. Random assignment means one team’s short a member, right?"
At the end of the day, they were still just a bunch of eighteen-year-olds, unable to hide their frustrations.
They were openly questioning the teacher’s decision right to his face.
Lucky for them, this was school, not the workplace—otherwise, the outspoken ones would’ve already been marked for retaliation.
Clearly, they hadn’t been hardened by life’s harsh lessons yet.
Since when did the world ever play fair?
Teacher Li roared, "Shut the hell up, all of you!"
Instantly, the room went dead silent.
Most students carried an innate fear of teachers—a natural debuff.
Sometimes, ignorance really was bliss.
Old Li had been a special training instructor for ten years, sending off ten batches of students. Half of them failed their combat exams and faded into ordinary society.
The other half? Almost all of them were now fighting for their lives in the Origin Realm. His phone still held over two hundred numbers that would never ring again.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken...
If the Origin Realm ever breached their world, there’d be no nation, no home left to speak of...
It was only because those who bore the weight of battle shielded the younger generation so well...
That these kids could still afford to bicker over personal gains.
He spoke again, his tone cutting.
"Don’t blame me for being harsh."
"Those whining about fairness—go look in the mirror and ask yourselves what the hell you’ve even accomplished."
"Let me ask you: Where are we right now?"
"Jiangxia’s Sixth Institute."
"You think this is about individual strength?"
"What kind of garbage have your teachers been feeding you?"
"You all dream of solo-clearing the Origin Realm? Of being some lone hero?"
"If you’re so damn talented, why are you stuck here? Why haven’t the First or Second Institute come begging for you?"
"Let’s be real—in my eyes, most of you won’t even reach beyond Tier Five or Six."
"I’ll bet anything that in ten years, even a D-class rift would chew you up as cannon fodder. Your only shot at survival is sticking together."
"You think when you’re out there, you can just complain to command? ‘This squad sucks, give me a better one’?"
"Back in my day, if anyone dared say that crap on the frontlines, I’d slap them bloody in front of everyone and ask if they’d woken up yet."
"You!"
"What gives you the right!"
"To call your future teammates ‘deadweight’ before the teams are even formed?"
"If that’s your attitude, get the hell out now."
"People like you would turn traitor the moment things got tough."
The scathing tirade left the entire class speechless.
After venting, Teacher Li realized he’d lost his composure.
Even with his tempered mindset, he couldn’t stomach hearing comrades dismissed as burdens.
Teammates?
In the Origin Realm, they’re the ones you trust with your life—the ones who’ve got your back till the end.
But then again...
Hell, what did these kids know?
All they cared about was the combat exams.
Their entire lives, they’d been fed this idea that failing the exams meant their futures were over.
As if the sky would collapse.
How...
Absurd.
He took a breath, softening his tone.
"Let me put it this way. Seven years ago, I was teaching at the Sixth Institute too. There was a student named Su Qi—sound familiar?"
"He shot straight to Tier Four right out the gate, even awakened a rare talent. The First Institute tried recruiting him."
"Know what he said?"
"‘Today, Jiangxia’s students pride themselves on joining the First Institute. But one day, they’ll take pride in joining the Sixth.’"
"‘Because I, Su Qi, walked its halls.’"
"That same year, he dominated the combat exams at Tier Five peak—top of Jiangxia, unstoppable."
"He believed he was destiny’s chosen, a brilliance too blinding for his peers."
"And then?"
"Just as everyone expected a Stellar Realm prodigy to rise from nothing, fists shattering all limits... he ignored warnings, charged solo into a D-class rift, boasting he’d ‘decapitate the enemy leader.’"
"He came back drenched in blood, clutching an alien’s head—but the fire in him was gone."
"Later tests showed his foundation had been damaged in the rift. The recovery would’ve cost a fortune in resources. He never bounced back."
"Last I heard, he’s just some washed-up novelist, drifting through life."
"Such a prodigy ending up like this."
"You bunch of 'mediocrities' still fantasizing about heroism? Got a death wish or what?"
...
Liu Yuan was stunned.
It seemed...
Her brother had indeed graduated from the Six Institutes too?
The name Su Qi—it couldn’t be a coincidence, could it?
Back then, she was too young to understand these things, let alone care about them.
Who would’ve thought that the same brother who couldn’t take his eyes off her white silk-clad legs had such a past?
Was it even real?
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
