Nothing major ever really happened at No. 3 High School.
Today, you got into a fight.
Tomorrow, he got into a fight.
The day after, two groups would arrange a brawl.
A bunch of people would end up battered and bruised.
This was all just routine stuff.
Absolutely nothing to get worked up about—everyone was long used to it!
But recently, something big did happen in this school, stirring up quite a commotion on campus.
The reason was that two people had gone crazy!
The undisputed top dog of the school (Lin Yu)
and the slightly less undisputed top queen of the school (Gu Yue).
These two had somehow gotten possessed.
Every day, on their way to and from school, they were glued to books.
They’d huddle together, babbling some weird chants no one could understand.
Stuff like "buh-nah-nah," "eye-poh," "oh-run-je..."
One of them was a six-foot-one guy with bleached hair and a fierce green tattoo on his neck; the other used to be the most obnoxious little tough girl in school.
Now, these two were walking around with bulging backpacks, clutching English vocabulary lists, quizzing each other on the way to and from school.
The whole scene looked creepier than creepy!
Countless former students from Building A whispered about it behind their backs.
Between "turning over a new leaf" and "going nuts,"
the vast majority instinctively chose the latter.
These two idiots had lost their minds!
...
At dusk,
Lin Yu and Gu Yue strolled lazily forward, treading on the fading sunlight.
"Crab."
"Cruh-b."
"How do you spell it?"
"C-R-A-B."
"Cream."
"Cruh-eem."
"How do you spell it?"
"C-R-E-A-M."
"Potato."
"Puh-tay-toe."
Hearing Gu Yue’s answer, Lin Yu stopped and turned his head, looking at her with a mix of exasperation and disbelief.
"Potato is 'puh-tay-toe'?"
"Then what's tomato?"
Gu Yue stared at Lin Yu.
She blinked her bright eyes, as if charging her incredibly limited brain capacity.
After a moment, she realized she’d mixed up potato and tomato again.
But no big deal!
Gu Yue flashed a sly grin, stuck out her tongue apologetically,
and relied on her old trick:
charm her way out of it!
Gu Yue had made this mistake many times before.
But Lin Yu didn’t hold it against her.
He looked away, turning his gaze to the horizon where the sunset clouds blazed like fire, reddening the sky. His mood lifted.
Even though, after all this intensive studying,
Gu Yue’s knowledge base still couldn’t match a middle schooler about to take their high school entrance exams,
Lin Yu could see her effort.
So he didn’t criticize her.
Let it be.
Do what you can and leave the rest to fate.
Gu Yue’s grades would go as far as they could.
She had tried her best.
"Brother Long,"
"what score did you get on this exam?"
Seizing a moment of free time, Gu Yue squeezed in the question.
"Why ask about that?"
Lin Yu shot Gu Yue a sideways glance without answering directly.
"Just curious,"
Gu Yue pouted slightly, with a hint of playfulness in her tone.
"Worrying about that stuff is useless."
"All you need to do is work hard."
"Time will give you the answer."
Lin Yue casually fed Gu Yue a spoonful of motivational talk.
The reason Lin Yu didn’t tell Gu Yue his own score was that he didn’t want to undermine her confidence.
This time, his results had improved again—seems like the Feynman learning method was really working.
His school ranking was closing in on the top two hundred.
Keep in mind,
the top three hundred students in this school were almost all poached by the principal with money.
Their scores weren’t like the top three hundred at an ordinary school.
Getting this result, Lin Yu was pretty satisfied.
"Heh heh."
"So, Brother Long, do you want to know how I did on this exam?"
Gu Yue gave a sly grin,
as if that had been her real intention in asking about his score all along.
Lin Yu glanced at her and nodded.
Honestly, he was a bit curious about Gu Yue’s score.
They’d been cramming for about a month now.
Gu Yue’s ranking should have jumped a fair bit.
After all, she used to hang out with the bottom-feeders of the academic crowd.
A little studying should have left them in the dust.
"I’m in the top seven hundred of the whole school!"
Gu Yue raised her hands high, like an Olympic gold medalist, joy and excitement spreading across her youthful face, still full of collagen.
"I got six hundred and eighty-seventh place this time!"
"Oh-ho!"
"That’s impressive."
Lin Yu looked at Gu Yue and gave her a thumbs-up in approval.
Ranked in the mid-six hundreds?
Among the lazy good-for-nothings, that was solidly upper class.
One more push to break into the top six hundred,
and Gu Yue could pretty much shake off all those slackers.
"With a jump like that,"
"You’re treating us to dinner tonight, got it?"
Lin Yu tried to mooch a meal.
"You bet."
Gu Yue patted her chest, which was only a bit less flat than an airport runway, and generously claimed responsibility for tonight’s dinner.
Lin Yu nodded, walking forward while mulling over what to eat, using the chance to soothe the mental scars he’d earned tutoring this slacker for so long.
Meanwhile,
Gu Yue was still basking in her massive score improvement, counting on her fingers with delight.
"Two exams ago, I was over twelve hundred."
"Last exam, I moved up three hundred spots to nine hundred something."
"This time, I’m up another three hundred, to the six hundreds."
"Mm-hmm."
"At this rate of progress,"
"Next time, I should be in the top four hundred."
"Exam after that,"
"I’ll be in the top hundred!"
Gu Yue’s grin grew wider with each calculation, and when she concluded she’d be in the top hundred in two months, she burst out laughing in sheer excitement.
"Haha!"
Gu Yue slapped Lin Yu on the shoulder and bragged,
"Little Lin,"
"Don’t worry."
"Once your Sister Gu cracks the top hundred, I won’t abandon you—I’ll help you with your homework too!"
Hearing her topsy-turvy declaration,
Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself.
Top four hundred?
She’d be lucky to make it into the top four hundred by the day of her college entrance exam!
And what was that?
"Little Lin"?
"Sister Gu"?
Have you lost your mind, you little punk?
Lin Yu felt a bit annoyed, but he didn’t put her down. Instead, he found another way to handle her.
"That actually makes sense."
"So, to stop you from lording it over me later, let’s just call off our tutoring sessions right now."
Lin Yu said this with plenty of "foresight."
"No way!"
Gu Yue panicked. She instantly dropped her smug act, grabbed Lin Yu’s arm, and whined pitifully,
"Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin,"
"I’m sorry, I’m sorrry~"
"Don’t abandon your top student!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
