"A lucky star..."
Lu Xiaobai looked at Yuan Li with a strange gaze, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.
He hadn't expected this to actually trigger a quest...
At the same time, this resolved one of his previous doubts: even with an ongoing quest, he could still trigger new ones.
This also meant that even if he didn't complete a quest, there wouldn't be any penalties—he just wouldn't get the Starry Sky Points.
This cheat... was quite user-friendly!
"Shall we head to the Star Martial Arts Hall now?"
Hearing this, Yuan Li was overjoyed.
Although he didn't know why the other party had changed his mind, this was a good thing for him.
As long as he taught this guy a lesson, he would gain Jin Xuan's favor, and his future path would instantly broaden!
"The Star Martial Arts Hall? No need, right here is fine."
Lu Xiaobai shook his head.
"Here?"
Yuan Li was slightly taken aback. He glanced at the spacious classroom and didn't say anything more.
This place was big enough for the two of them to spar!
"Bring it on!"
His expression turned serious as he assumed the starting stance of the Basic Fist Technique.
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Lu Xiaobai said with a smile,
"I'm a man who values a sense of ceremony. Before we start, we need to have a little ritual."
"A ritual?"
Yuan Li paused, not quite understanding what he meant.
But in the very next second,
His expression changed drastically. His eyes only caught a glimpse of a dark shadow before his entire body felt like it was hit by a heavy blow. He was instantly sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the wall!
"You?!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Yuan Li's mouth. Pale-faced, he looked toward where he had just been standing.
A burly, three-meter-tall figure was standing there. Its face was cold and ruthless, exuding a terrifying, murderous aura.
It was none other than Ah Da, the bodyguard who protected Lu Xiaobai!
"Hehe..."
Lu Xiaobai wore a wicked smile and said,
"The ritual is over. Yuan Li, now we can have a fair and just one-on-one duel."
"You?!"
Yuan Li's eyes widened, his fingers trembling. He never expected the other party to be so shameless.
He was already heavily injured and had lost all combat ability.
How the hell was this fair and just?!
"What? You don't accept?"
Seeing his expression, Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and asked.
Yuan Li panted heavily, looking extremely furious, and didn't respond at all.
"Hmm?"
Lu Xiaobai frowned slightly.
The cheat required him to duel the other party one-on-one. If Yuan Li didn't accept, he didn't know if it would count as completed...
"Forget it if you don't accept."
He shook his head and said casually,
"Ah Da, beat him to death!"
As soon as these words came out,
Yuan Li instantly shuddered, and the anger in his eyes vanished completely.
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's calm face, he inexplicably felt a surge of fear in his heart.
For some reason, he had a premonition—
The other party really wasn't joking!
Moreover, given the Lu family's power, even if they killed him on the spot, the other party wouldn't face any punishment...
Lu Xiaobai saw his fear and said calmly,
"I'll ask you one more time. Do you accept a one-on-one duel with me or not?"
"..."
Yuan Li didn't know what the other party was trying to do, but under the threat of death, he could only comply and lower his head, saying,
"I accept."
"Then let's begin!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai was delighted.
He instantly dashed forward, leaped into the air, and executed a 360-degree spinning kick!
Heavily injured, Yuan Li didn't even have the strength to move a finger, let alone dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the kick came at him!
Bang!
Lu Xiaobai's foot planted directly on his forehead, causing his eyes to roll back as he fainted on the spot.
[One-Star Quest 'Defeat Yuan Li' Completed]
[Reward Obtained: Starry Sky Point x 1]
"Done!"
Lu Xiaobai patted his pant legs, then stuffed his hands into his pockets and said nonchalantly,
"This is the absolute gap in strength!"
"..."
The crowd below stared at this scene, completely dumbfounded.
Holy crap, this guy's skin is way too thick...
The girls in the classroom also had extremely strange expressions. Because of his good looks, they had firmly stood on Lu Xiaobai's side.
But the scene that just unfolded made them change their minds slightly.
Ultimately, they formed an initial evaluation of Lu Xiaobai in their hearts:
Shameless but charming!
Just then, the class bell rang.
Principal Wei Wenshi appeared at the classroom door.
As soon as he stepped inside, he spotted the collapsed Yuan Li and Ah Da standing not far away. His mind raced, and he faintly guessed what had happened.
His expression stiffened, and he said in a slightly dry voice,
"It seems... I've come at a bad time..."
"No, sir, you've come at the perfect time!"
"..."
Wei Wenshi's mouth twitched.
What was that supposed to mean?
Lu Xiaobai gave Ah Da an order to carry the unconscious Yuan Li over his shoulder, while saying,
"Sir, may I ask, which floor is the school infirmary on?"
"It's on the second floor..."
Wei Wenshi pointed upstairs and asked out of habit,
"And what happened to student Yuan?"
"He bumped into something."
"???"
Wei Wenshi's face was full of question marks.
No way, how could someone bump into something hard enough to fall unconscious?
"He really just bumped into something."
Lu Xiaobai looked completely sincere. He pointed at Ah Da's right arm and explained,
"First he bumped into Ah Da's fist, and then he bumped into my foot, and then he ended up like this."
"..."
The corner of Wei Wenshi's eye twitched violently.
Seriously, could it even be explained like that?!
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and said,
"Sir, I'll take him to the infirmary first."
"Go ahead..."
Wei Wenshi shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.
If it were truly just a fight between students, as the principal, he naturally would have done his best to stop it.
But the problem was that the Yuan family, which Yuan Li belonged to, was part of the Jin family's faction, and the Lu family were mortal enemies with the Jin family.
This was clearly a confrontation between major powers. How could a lowly Star Martial Artist like him dare to get involved...
"Let's wait a bit before starting class."
Wei Wenshi sat at the podium and used his chip device to connect to the school's surveillance system, wanting to see what had just happened in the classroom.
When he saw Yuan Li first being sent flying by that A-rank robot, and then getting knocked out by Lu Xiaobai's kick,
He immediately fell silent.
What the kid said actually wasn't wrong at all...
He continued to rewind the footage and soon understood the entire sequence of events.
What he hadn't expected was that
It was actually Yuan Li who had taken the initiative to provoke Lu Xiaobai...
"If you don't seek death, you won't die..."
He had assumed that Lu Xiaobai was annoyed with the Yuan family and had initiated the attack on Yuan Li. Who would have thought that the latter was just courting his own doom...
After a short while,
Lu Xiaobai returned to the classroom. As for Ah Da, he didn't follow him inside, but stood guard near the teaching building instead.
"You're back? Come over here to me first."
Wei Wenshi closed the surveillance video and pointed to the spot next to him.
Lu Xiaobai's expression shifted slightly, but without overthinking it, he walked over to the principal's side.
"Alright, students."
Wei Wenshi smiled and said:
"Everyone saw what just happened. When student Lu Xiaobai saw an injured classmate, he rushed him to the hospital at the first opportunity. This readiness to help others is a virtue we should all learn from!"
"..."
The crowd's mouths fell slightly open as they all plunged into a collective silence.
Come on, this is a bit too absurd...
However, based strictly on the events that just occurred, there was actually nothing wrong with what was said.
As for how Yuan Li ended up injured in the first place, well, let's not ask about that...
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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?!
