This is meeting a truly ruthless person...

"Are the human starfields all this dangerous?"

Yu Wei swallowed hard.

He hadn't expected the appearance of the Star Zerg to be anything less than a rare occurrence. Didn't this mean he might encounter them again in the future?

Just then, Lu Xiaobai's words made his expression change drastically.

"By the way, Monkey, let me remind you to be careful lately. Although the Star Suppression Army killed three more demonic bugs, I have a feeling there are still Star Zerg on the Ancestral Planet!"

Hearing this, Yu Wei said with a look of terror,

"Brother Lu, no way, even the Star Suppression Army couldn't find them..."

"The Star Zerg are extremely good at disguising themselves, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to silently bypass the Ancestral Planet's planetary defense system. It's normal that the Star Suppression Army can't find them."

"Furthermore, the Star Zerg operate in squads. It's impossible for a Star Zerg squad to only have four demonic bugs..."

Lu Xiaobai was a direct descendant of the Lu family, so the inside information he knew was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people.

"Then aren't we screwed..."

Yu Wei's face turned pale as he said,

"Even the mayor can't beat them. If I run into them, I'm definitely dead meat."

"You don't need to worry too much. The Star Zerg came to the Ancestral Planet with a purpose. They wouldn't actively expose themselves just to kill you. Even I don't have that much charm."

Lu Xiaobai shrugged, looking extremely calm.

Although he was a direct descendant of the Lu family, no one would want to kill him. Even the Lu family's enemies wouldn't make a move.

After all, he was simply too weak. Killing him wouldn't affect the Lu family's strength in any way. At the same time, he was currently the youngest direct descendant of the Lu family, and even Ancestor Lu doted on him extremely.

If anything happened to him, it would only draw the frantic revenge of the entire Lu family...

Sometimes, being weak really meant having the upper hand...

However, although this was the logic of normal people, he still brought Ah Da to school. After all, what if those Star Zerg went crazy...

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Hearing this, the tension in Yu Wei's heart finally settled down.

He had no background, no talent, and no morals. As a pure youth lacking these three things, those Star Zerg probably wouldn't be insane enough to come after him...

"By the way, Brother Lu, we're testing our vitality this afternoon. You must have improved a lot over the past month, right?"

He suddenly thought of something, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes.

"Oh? You can tell?"

Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and asked.

"A feeling, just a feeling!"

Yu Wei scratched his head and said,

"Anyway, I just feel like you've completely transformed, Brother Lu. You have this indescribable aura about you."

"..."

Lu Xiaobai smiled.

He knew this was because his Basic Body Refining Technique had reached the max level.

He was now absorbing stellar energy from the universe at all times, which was equivalent to having an invisible connection with the cosmos. Naturally, this gave him a special aura.

"Class, assemble at the Star Martial Arts Hall!"

Right at this moment,

Du An stood up, calling for the students to get ready for their Star Martial Arts class.

He used to be an extremely arrogant person who looked down on everyone.

But because of Lu Xiaobai, he gradually reined in his arrogance. After all, if someone else in the class was also hiding their identity, wouldn't he be screwing himself over...

Hearing this, everyone left the classroom one after another. Most of them had excitement written on their faces as they discussed among themselves.

"Today is the day we test our Life Force levels. I wonder how much I've grown recently..."

"I've been smashing my own nuts a hundred times a day. I feel like my strength has undergone a qualitative change. Today, I'm destined to shock the world!"

"Is that even a human training method?"

"It's a folk remedy someone from my village told me about, supposedly a secret technique passed down from ancient times. I know it's hard, but this is my daily mission!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobai looked at the boy, his eyes practically overflowing with admiration.

He had met a truly ruthless man...

Nowadays, many people who knew they had no hope of getting into an academy would become desperate and try anything, leading their families to seek out ancient folk remedies. But the problem was, this guy's remedy was way too unorthodox...

Five minutes later,

Everyone gathered inside the Star Martial Hall.

"Same rules as always. Today we test your Life Force strength for the month."

Nangong Ling's expression was indifferent, her eyes completely devoid of expectation.

The class she was in charge of was the most ordinary of the ordinary. Their talent was basically just average. She didn't even need to test their monthly Life Force levels; she already had a rough estimate in her mind.

"Du An, you're up first."

Du An had expected this. Taking a deep breath, he walked up to the testing equipment, which featured a massive hanging punching bag.

The equipment in front of him was exactly the same as the ones in the virtual space, or rather, the latter was modeled directly after the real-world instruments.

Boom!

Du An gathered his breath, clenched his right fist, and threw a vicious punch. The display panel instantly flashed a number:

340 kilograms!

"Du An is so strong! Is his strength level approaching Level 4 Life Force?"

The crowd's expressions immediately shifted in shock, and they couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

Although Du An was extremely arrogant, they had to admit that his strength truly gave him the right to be cocky in this class...

Du An maintained a calm exterior and moved on to test the next category, speed:

10.1 meters per second!

"Hmm?"

Du An furrowed his brows slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing in his eyes.

This was the exact same result as last month.

Soon, he tested his reaction speed, but his performance was even worse. He quickly made a mistake, bringing the test to an early end.

Finally, his overall Life Force score was displayed:

3.7!

"It only increased by 0.2?"

Du An sighed and shook his head.

He had consumed quite a few nutritional supplements last month, and his body refinement technique was at the third level, yet he had only grown this much. The rate of progress was simply too slow.

But there was nothing he could do about it. The higher the Life Force level, the harder it was to improve...

"Next person!"

Nangong Ling shook her head, a trace of disappointment also appearing in her eyes.

At this rate of progress, Du An's hopes of getting into a first-tier academy were even slimmer. Fortunately, he was at least guaranteed a spot in a second-tier academy, which wasn't too bad.

Soon,

the students stepped forward one by one to test their Life Force levels.

For them, there were rarely any opportunities to test themselves normally. After all, this set of equipment was quite expensive, and ordinary families couldn't afford it. As for the public Star Martial Halls out in society, they also charged a fee...

"Life Force Level: 3.3."

"Life Force Level: 3.1."

...

As each person stepped forward to be tested, the displayed vitality levels grew lower and lower, quickly dropping below 2. This was a level that wouldn't even get them into a third-rate academy.

Nangong Ling sighed and said casually,

"Lu Xiaobai, it's your turn. After the test, continue with your physical training. Everyone's workload is increased by fifty percent!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd couldn't help but let out groans of despair.

"What are you all howling for? With these results, I'm too embarrassed to even report them to the grade administration."

Nangong Ling frowned slightly, a hint of impatience creeping into her tone.

This was the first batch of students she had taken on since graduating, yet their results were actually this poor. It truly made her feel a bit frustrated, and she even began to doubt her own teaching abilities...

Seeing that the Great Demon King was angry, the crowd instinctively quieted down, not daring to groan anymore.

Boom!

Right at that moment, a massive explosion rang out, instantly giving everyone a sudden fright!
