Self-destruction sequence initiating...

Soon, Lu Xiaobai's vision changed again, and he found himself standing atop a mountain peak filled with jagged rocks.

Not far away, a round Little Fatty was staring at him with a face full of curiosity, saying in an amazed tone:

"Big brother, you look like you're seventeen or eighteen, but your vitality level is only 1.5?"

"..."

Lu Xiaobai realized he was being looked down upon. He twitched his mouth and said:

"I just look mature, I just turned eight this year!"

"Eight?"

Little Fatty looked at the other party's 1.8-meter-tall figure and a face that didn't look like a primary school student at all, instinctively feeling a bit dumbfounded.

Could this really be an eight-year-old?!

Seeing the other party's face full of doubt, Lu Xiaobai quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Little Fatty, you don't have a talent, right?"

"No."

"That's good."

Lu Xiaobai chuckled, already preparing to show off his skills.

The other party looked to be only around ten years old, and his vitality level was 1.4, which gave him a lot of confidence.

Today, your bro is going to have a hearty session of beating up a kid...

However, just as this thought appeared, he saw Little Fatty's body suddenly expand, transforming into a giant a full five meters tall, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression!

"Eight-year-old big brother, I forgot to tell you, although I don't have a talent, I have a giant physique."

Little Fatty chuckled, then patted his large stomach and directly launched a meatball charge!

"Holy crap!"

Without waiting for the other party to get close, Lu Xiaobai decisively exited the battlefield.

"Today is really unlucky. I'm not fighting anymore, not fighting."

Logically speaking, people with talents and special physiques were definitely not common, but he had actually encountered two in a row; it was indeed far too unlucky...

"Fortunately, both matches today were draws, so I didn't lose the face of the Lu family."

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xiaobai's mouth.

Xiao Ling, who was standing to the side, lowered her head and secretly sighed in her heart:

Master's skin is getting thicker and thicker...

"Wait until your Brother Lu's talent and physique awaken, then I'll come back to get even!"

Lu Xiaobai exited the virtual space and returned to his bedroom.

Right at this moment,

His chip vibrated, indicating that someone had left a message for him.

"Hmm? Monkey gathered Du An's information this quickly?"

Lu Xiaobai opened the file sent by the other party, a trace of surprise in his eyes, and muttered:

"He actually sent over the information of the top ten in the class? That's some good efficiency!"

He lay on his bed and began to read it carefully.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious in every battle. He naturally understood this principle.

Half an hour later,

Lu Xiaobai closed his eyes, a trace of irritation on his face, and muttered to himself:

"Let alone Du An, among the top ten, it seems I only have a hope of defeating the tenth place..."

In the information sent by Monkey, the tenth place, Fang Yuan, had a vitality level of 2.1. If he persisted in doing the body refining technique these next few days and relied on his own combat experience, it was indeed possible to defeat the tenth place!

Obviously, his old man had investigated the situation in his class in advance, which was why he had given him the requirement to take tenth place.

But unfortunately, Lu Xiaobai's goal was first place!

"The ninth place's vitality is already at 2.4, and the first place, Du An, has a vitality level of a full 3.5, more than twice mine!"

"This is going to be tough..."

Lu Xiaobai frowned slightly, his mind racing as he muttered to himself:

"There are still five days until the class test; my vitality can't possibly surpass Du An's..."

Nowadays, high school seniors were all intern star martial artists who hadn't reached level 10 and hadn't mastered any combat star skills. The only factor affecting battles at the same level was their vitality level!

"If I could have that little girl's lightning talent or the giant physique, I could fight above my level..."

Lu Xiaobai sighed, looking out the window, and murmured:

"It seems a fair fight is impossible; I can only use some dirty tricks!"

Perhaps it was his old man's previous words that had completely awakened the Lu family's insidious bloodline in Lu Xiaobai. His brain spun rapidly, and soon his eyes lit up as he found a viable method!

"No external items can be used during the class test, so I'll just use them in advance!"

Lu Xiaobai, his face full of excitement, walked into the storage room next to his bedroom.

Although it was called a storage room, to outsiders, it was a bona fide treasure room. Inside were all sorts of extremely expensive items, all gifted to him by the elders of the Lu family.

"Little Du, oh Little Du, your bro has no choice either. For these starry sky points, I can only stop being a decent human being!"

Soon,

He selected a few treasures, packed them into his backpack, and his heart filled with confidence.

"Tomorrow, I'll take care of Du An!"

He lay on the bed with a face full of smiles and quickly drifted off into dreamland...

...

The next day, at six in the morning,

"Master, wake up! Wake up!"

The robot butler with a white beard came into the bedroom and started urging Lu Xiaobai to get up.

"Just a few more minutes, I'll get up soon..."

Lu Xiaobai covered his head with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep again.

However, right at this moment, the robot butler's eyes glowed red, and it said in a cold electronic voice:

"Initiating self-destruct sequence! 10, 9, 8..."

"Wait!"

Lu Xiaobai shuddered and instantly did a kip-up, throwing off the covers.

"No way, Lao Hu, are you trying to die?!"

"Yes."

The robot butler nodded.

"..."

Lu Xiaobai shook his head and continued:

"Breakfast stays the same, just like before."

"Yes, Master!"

The robot butler turned and left the bedroom to prepare today's meal.

"I really don't know if this self-destruct thing is real or fake..."

Lu Xiaobai sighed.

This thing was specially gifted to him by his old man when he came to the Ancestral Planet. It was said to be a not-for-sale item from the Liu family and was quite expensive. He didn't even have the authorization to change its internal programming.

Even though he knew his old man wouldn't harm him, whenever he heard that self-destruct warning, his sleepiness would instantly vanish completely...

"Perfect timing, I can practice the body refining technique now!"

He rubbed his eyes and immediately became energetic.

Lu Xiaobai went out to his balcony, took a deep breath, and began to perform the various movements of the body refining technique.

This scene wasn't just happening on his balcony; in fact, the vast majority of people in the city were currently doing the body refining technique...

"First stance..."

Lu Xiaobai spread his hands and struck a pose of a golden rooster standing on one leg, which looked extremely ordinary.

But at this moment,

Wisps of invisible energy from the universe fell down, quickly entering his body and beginning to strengthen every cell within him...

This was what humanity called Star Energy!

In ancient times, even if humans struck such poses, it would be impossible to draw Star Energy into their bodies.

But ever since humanity made its first wormhole jump a thousand years ago, it was as if the barrier of the Ancestral Planet had been broken. Only then could they attract Star Energy, and the basic body refining technique became widespread as a result...
