Chapter 122 "I said shut up"

Chapter 122 "I said shut up!" (Part 2)

after awhile.

"Junior, please wait a moment—"

"Let your senior check your grades!"

Amidst the surging fog, Bai Zhou's shouts echoed as he rejoiced over his newly met junior.

One, two, three...

Guided by [Arrogant Blue] and [Slothful Black], Bai Zhou, an outstanding returning student and newly crowned "Exam King," had a cordial and friendly exchange with many student council officers.

"Crack, click, click!"

Bai Zhou squatted on the ground, his lips moving as if he were gnawing on soybeans.

The surrounding gray mist surged, and the semi-transparent light spots that only Bai Zhou and [Arrogant Blue] could see all converged on Bai Zhou, where they were devoured alive.

His aura surged once again, and all 206 bones in his body seemed to have undergone another round of tempering, crackling and popping like beans being stir-fried.

"Good! You did a great job!"

Bai Zhou turned around, gave a thumbs-up to [Arrogant Blue] and [Slothful Black] who were leading the way, and revealed a bright, satisfied smile.

"Thank you, thank you, Senior..."

However, Bai Zhou's praise and encouragement sent a chill down the spines of his juniors.

To them, Zhou's praise was like a direct and undisguised statement to the younger students:

"Junior, this is delicious!"

How terrifying!
This school is a cannibalistic place; many junior students disappear while they're studying. It's also cannibalistic; any rebellion that shakes the order of the student council will be ruthlessly devoured by it.

Now that it's their turn to be eaten, they don't want to be.

So he offered to lead the way for Bai Zhou, hoping to be let go.

He wanted to eat it himself, but was also afraid of being eaten by someone else. So he looked at Bai Zhou with a suspicious gaze, strong and calm, but his legs were trembling.

Save the children...

"It's just a bit of a pity."

Bai Zhou seemed to want more.

I learned from my junior that the teachers and principal are not on the same level as the students; they are probably at least level 5.

If Bai Zhou uses all his abilities, as a level 4 [Adventurer], with the help of the "Basic Nine Slashes" and extraordinary weapons, he might not be unable to put up a fight against a level 5.

But Bai Zhou didn't want to expose these things in front of others.

"..."

Thinking this, Bai Zhou's gaze inadvertently swept over the camera on No. 9's chest.

He had already seen those things, which is why he wore a mask and didn't use any weapons, completely failing to show any characteristics of the "wanted criminal" Bai Zhou.

but……

Bai Zhou's action of examining the camera startled the three people in number 9.

"He's watching us!"

Her ponytail looked like it was about to explode, and Number 9 instinctively took two steps back.

They couldn't see Bai Zhou eating his junior.

But they all saw the hot-tempered senior Zhou launching heavy punches at the juniors who were not doing well in their studies, one after another!

—It was indeed a powerful blow in the physical sense, blasting them into bloody foam.

"I...I...I'm actually doing pretty well in my studies, senior!"

After a long while, Number 9 finally managed a sheepish smile:

"I am... all the teachers say I have a good ear for listening comprehension!"

Upon hearing this, both Bai Zhou and [Arrogant Blue] showed great respect for Number 9.

"Tinghai University? That's impressive."

Even those unfamiliar with Bai Zhou from Tinghai know that Tinghai University is a remarkable institution in Tinghai. Once, when passing by Tinghai University, they were struck by its magnificent gate.

Then he began to ponder whether the major would still dare to cause him trouble if he planted an explosion at Tinghai University.

However, Ya was startled and quickly explained to him that Tinghai University was full of hidden talents and had no shortage of high-level extraordinary individuals who could come and serve as guest professors.

Bai Zhou's insane plan was thus regrettably stopped.

As for number 9 and the others, there's even less to say.

As students of Yuanmeng Middle School, we must set a firm goal for which university we will attend in the future from a young age... And getting into Tinghai University is the ultimate dream for children at Tinghai, comparable to "wanting to be an astronaut when I grow up"!

"Listen carefully..."

Numbers 31 and 42 stood behind number 9, hesitant to speak, but finally exchanged a glance, pursed their lips, and remained stiffly silent.

Listen up?

Having grown up together since childhood, how could they not know their older sister's capabilities?

"A goal, a goal!"

Number 9, who had managed to get away with it, chuckled to himself. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Zhou look away. Then he glared at Number 31 and the other two, who had strange and stiff expressions.

Nominally, they are now considered "new students" at Yuanmeng Middle School, but in reality, they are already university students.

Number 9 is indeed a "listening-up" student; she almost let it slip.

However, "Tingda" generally refers to Tinghai University, which is the highest institution of learning in Tinghai City and a well-known institution of higher learning in the entire Eastern Federation.

However, the "Tingda" mentioned by No. 9 refers to "Tinghai Agricultural Engineering Management University".

Abbreviation: "Ting Da"!
"..."

After that, amidst repeated calls of "Junior, please wait!", Bai Zhou's strength experienced a rapid leap forward, as if he were on a fast track!
As a former goalkeeper before becoming a "high-level extraordinary individual," advancing to level 4 extraordinary is extremely difficult, and the accumulation after advancement is even more lengthy.

This process involves gradually absorbing and transforming external spirituality from the universe into one's own spirituality, then infusing it with innate essence to complete the final sublimation.

In other words, this is a gradual process of filling one's own bucket, and generally speaking, it is difficult to find shortcuts.

Depending on the level of accumulation, the gap between extraordinary individuals at the same stage may be greater than that between a human and a dog. For example, if Anguisola were to fight Van Gogh, in a one-on-one situation, it wouldn't be more difficult than eating two bowls of pork trotter rice in one go.

In this process, they often have to resist assimilation and erosion from the world. Many advanced extraordinary individuals suffer from emotional deficiencies or mental problems, which are often the aftereffects left when they came into contact with the world at level 4.

It is both dangerous and long, and it is common for most extraordinary individuals to waste half their lives at level 4.

...However, at this moment, a mouse named Shiraishu came to his loyal kitchen.

"I'm going to eat, eat, eat!"

One junior is fair-skinned, two juniors are arrested, three juniors are so cute...

Why go through all this trouble of absorbing and transforming external spirituality, or using one's innate essence to ignite that spirituality?
What's the quickest way to fill a bucket? Certainly not by accumulating little by little and waiting for a rainy day!

—Why don't I just pour the water from the other buckets in?
This would be impossible for anyone anywhere else.

But Bai Zhou, who has vaguely transformed into the new exam king and become a local student at Yuanmeng Middle School, is able to accomplish this incredible feat within the school.

Even in front of Number 9 and the others, through the live camera broadcast, no one could understand what Bai Zhou was doing.

They simply felt that this school, located inside the Reflection Ruins, was too "passionate" and "cruel," where students who didn't study well would be beaten to death...

What's even more delightful is that each of the student council officers is a Level 4 weirdo, their spirituality has been sublimated, perfectly meeting Bai Zhou's needs.

Publicity Department, Sports Department, Secretariat...

The student council officers are almost completely ruined by the friends and acquaintances of [Arrogant Blue] and [Slothful Black].

They all transformed back into some kind of rule essence that had dissipated within the school after each "Junior, please wait!" and were then absorbed by the school uniform.

From initially grasping the basics to leaping a thousand miles, the spiritual essence within Bai Zhou also increased from 216 to 291.

These 291 spiritual essences form a self-circulating cycle within Bai Zhou's body, vaguely corresponding to the star positions in the sky, but there is still one less.

Through these spiritual connections corresponding to the stars in the sky, Bai Zhou felt his connection with the world was also strengthening, and his "perception" of the world was getting a step further.

This is an indescribable and wondrous state, a concrete manifestation of the unity of man and nature.

When one's spirituality accumulates to this level, one has vaguely touched upon the entry requirements for the fifth form of the "Basic Nine Cuts".

The fifth move of the basic nine-slash technique seems to mention a method of arranging and combining the spirituality within the body according to a ritual, ultimately achieving the integration and resonance of the spirituality, thereby releasing one's own power in an overwhelming manner.

This is extremely obscure and profound knowledge, requiring Bai Zhou to find a secluded place to ponder it carefully... at least not now. Bai Zhou even had a feeling that if he could fully comprehend this, and unleash his full power under the amplitude, even weaker level five extraordinary beings—

They could probably all be killed with a single blow!

"How wonderful."

Bai Zhou was almost completely immersed in the feeling of his spiritual energy rapidly accumulating. His eyes were faintly red, his expression greedy, yet also filled with an arrogant confidence of certain victory. His undisguised desire and lazy desire to take shortcuts were palpable.

A faint buzzing sound reached Bai Zhou's ears, and he felt hungry. All he wanted to do now was eat, eat, eat... He wanted to feast, he wanted to binge eat!

"Senior, you..."

The strange states that appeared on Bai Zhou caused both [Arrogant Blue] and [Slothful Black] to freeze and tremble in fear.

In a daze, they saw many of their companions resurrected in the white boat... They saw the shadow of an entire student council in the white boat!

What arrogance! What envy! What sloth! What greed! What lust! What gluttony… Clearly, he is the true demon king! A sinner who embodies the very essence and original sin of the entire student council!

What's the purpose of Yuanmeng Middle School "nurturing" such a senior?!
"Is something wrong?"

Bai Zhou merely glanced at them sideways, which shut the two junior students up.

However, Bai Zhou didn't care much. He was already immersed in the thrill of improving as long as he ate.

Clenching his fist, Bai Zhou could hear the surge of spiritual energy, and he felt that he was in a better state than ever before.

This inexplicably reminded Bai Zhou of some past events in Wancheng—

In Wancheng, people always say that steamed buns stained with the blood of death row inmates can cure all diseases. Eating them will grant you health, longevity, and even make a fool suddenly enlightened.

For this reason, people would even slip money to the black-robed men, just so they could secretly bleed a little before the crucifixion.

If Bai Zhou remembers correctly, even when the black-robed man was being tortured at the Special Administration base, the villagers of Wancheng were envious of the blood flowing all over the ground.

Then they were taken away by the Special Administration soldiers as severely contaminated mental patients...

Bai Zhou didn't believe in such things because there used to be a "Hua Jie" on the corner street who suffered from tuberculosis and still passed away after eating "steamed buns".

He found this thing utterly disgusting and hated it.

Ultimately, people should have some bottom line... What is the essential difference between those who profit from human blood and those "cannibalistic" bastards in the Special Administration?

"--etc!"

Bai Zhou felt a shiver run through his body.

Hate?

He suddenly looked back at himself and was horrified to realize that something was wrong!
The strange beings are not human; they do not even possess life. Even if they die, they can be reborn in the Void Realm in their initial state. They are merely a manifestation of the world's rules.

Bai Zhou felt no mental burden from eating them; it was no different from eating monsters or pigs and dogs, since these strange creatures also had a natural ferocity and malice towards humans.

But how could I...?

How could they be so greedy? So hungry? So arrogant?
This isn't like him!
—It wasn't even him at all!
Disturbed and agitated, with a throbbing pain in his temples and a sharp ache in his brain, Bai Zhou felt as if his mind was being split apart.

A dark white boat and a bright white boat chattered incessantly on either side of my ears. When they realized that talking was useless, they simply started fighting each other like madmen.

He felt that his spirit was like a derailed train plunging down a steep slope, unstoppable and unpredictable, with no one knowing where it would end up.

"Stop!"

I said—stop!

【Soothe】!
Bai Zhou shouted in his heart, urging the characters on the Sea of Ignorance to move.

"Om-"

Ripples spread, engulfing every corner of the white boat.

The light of the soul is ignited, dispelling the heavy shadows in one's heart.

"Crash-"

The sea of ignorance is raging with towering waves, its waves crashing endlessly.

At this moment, Bai Zhou finally realized that the source of everything was in the Sea of Ignorance. With the vibration of the word "Fu", the pitch-black monster, which was entangled by many evil thoughts, gradually emerged from the sea.

The monster resembled the King of Exams somewhat, but it was more similar to Bai Zhou's figure, with its body shrouded in black mist.

It quietly approached the location of Destiny from beneath the sea surface, and before anyone knew it, it was already within arm's reach of Destiny. The black aura emanating from it spread to the vicinity of Destiny, hissing and encroaching on the pure white light of Destiny's sun.

It will corrupt Bai Zhou's destiny!
It wants to—

Replace the White Boat and become the new White Boat!
Become the new exam king!
"It's a school uniform!"

Bai Zhou jolted awake, snapping back to reality.

—It's the erosion from school uniforms!

The side effects of wearing school uniforms are no longer the initial low-level disturbances such as laziness, stress, and guilt.

After absorbing many of the student council's oddities, this school uniform has quietly evolved and begun to influence and transform Shiraishu with more advanced traits such as "arrogance" and "sloth"!

Danger!

Thankfully, there's [Fu] —

Bai Zhou's eyes sharpened, his gaze piercing through the vast, dark sea and landing on the black monster walking on the surface.

This is my space for understanding destiny...

"And what are you?!"

"Buzz!"

As Bai Zhou's thoughts suddenly arose, the [moon] symbol floating on the sea surface suddenly glowed.

A silver-white wolf shadow leaped out in response, descending from the sky and tearing at the dark shadow.

Amidst the roars of both sides, a fierce battle unfolded at sea.

—And all of this was reflected in the outside world, which was that Bai Zhou's school uniform suddenly underwent a strange change!
"Senior, you...you've gotten so dark!"

Under the stunned and bewildered gazes of the three people in number 9 and the two people in [Arrogant Blue], endless black energy suddenly emanated from Bai Zhou's body.

These black wisps all carried undisguised malice, surrounding the white boat and making him appear like a demon king!

A huge, pitch-black monster stood up in full view of everyone and appeared behind Bai Zhou.

Extreme evil! Pure black! The enormous body was deformed and twisted, yet it clearly bore a blurry face that bore a resemblance to Bai Zhou!
"Roar!"

The monster let out a low growl, its mouth watering, while muttering under its breath:

"I am back."

"The familiar taste, the familiar school, everything familiar... This is my home turf, the King of Exams!"

"I want to devour you all, I want to possess this man..."

As it muttered to itself, the monster glared at Arrogant Blue and Number 9 with undisguised malice and burning greed, sending chills down their spines.

"What...what is that?!"

Number 9 and the others tried to retreat, but were trapped by the monster's pressure and had nowhere to escape.

But just then, Senior Zhou's voice came:

"Shut up!"

The sound seemed tiny compared to the monster's roars and howls, yet it was incredibly clear.

"I'll let you—"

"Shut up!"

The moment the words fell, a surge of silvery-white light erupted.

"Ow!"

The wolf's giant shadow materialized beside Bai Zhou, and in an instant, it pounced on the monster that was attacking Number 9.

The wolf tilted its head back and opened its blood-red maw.

It was as if an endless black hole had suddenly appeared, yet mysterious moonlight lingered within it.
