I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"It seems I went a little too far... Oh well."

He reached out and grabbed Zhao Longtu's foot, as if he had just killed someone and was dragging the corpse to destroy the evidence, and walked off the stage.

The martial artists watching the fight instinctively parted to the left and right, making way for Xue Jing as he stepped off the stage.

Because the blow was too forceful, Zhao Longtu's nose was bleeding profusely. He was face down, and as he was dragged along, a trail of blood was pulled from his face, making him look even more like a corpse.

Everyone looked at the scene, wanting to say something, but were somewhat speechless.

"Xuan Ling, could you please take me back to the first floor?"

Xue Jing spoke up.

"Okay~" Xuan Ling's somewhat lazy and pleasant female voice came from his ear. The next moment, an orange light membrane emerged from under Xue Jing's feet.

As the light membrane completely engulfed Xue Jing, the martial artists watching the battle erupted into a heated discussion.

Xue Jing, on the other hand, had already returned to the preparation hall on the first floor of the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace.

His round trip took only a few minutes. Ning Yuantai and Cao Sini were still discussing whether to call Xue Jing when he returned.

Ning Yuantai's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask about the situation when he noticed the thing the man was dragging in his hand.

"Hmm, as expected of Brother Xue, he's killed someone again in such a short time. Where are they going to bury them?"

Cao Sini, who was standing next to him, glanced at him expressionlessly.

If you don't know how to flatter, you don't have to... What do you mean, "As expected of you, you've killed someone again"?

She glanced at the corpse, blood seeping from its head, and hesitated uncertainly:

"Teacher Xue, this is... Zhao Longtu?"

Xue Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's him... Let's go, mission accomplished, let's go back."

With that, she calmly dragged Zhao Longtu towards the gate...

Passersby who saw this were taken aback:

"What? A creative suitcase?"

……

Inside the medical room of Xuanwu Mansion.

Zhao Longtu lay on the pure white bed and groggily opened his eyes.

"hiss--"

He covered his face with his hands and gasped.

For some reason, he felt a burning, stinging pain all over his face, as if his skin had just been ground in a millstone.

Zhao Longtu patted his still slightly dizzy head.

His memory was still of the approaching orange light membrane and the throbbing pain in his chin.

"Are you awake? The operation was successful."

He heard voices coming from the side and turned his head to look.

A boy wearing a white coat, who looked fairly handsome but had a strangely shifty look, was sitting on the edge of his bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife.

"Who are you... What happened?"

Zhao Longtu asked with a frown.

He Han nodded and said calmly, "Good question."

"It is now the year 290 of the new era. More than 20 years have passed since you fell asleep. During your slumber, humanity has become extinct. This is 'Ark Vault' No. 3306. I am the physical AI robot of the vault. You can call me 'Aizen the Deceitful'!"

Zhao Longtu's gaze sharpened: "The name of the Far East? So, this is a refuge located in the Far East?"

A subtle glint appeared in He Han's eyes: "Ah...yes."

"How did humanity perish?" Zhao Longtu took a deep breath and asked.

What utterly naive stupidity… He Han grinned, amused. “It was destroyed by a being called ‘Demon King Xue,’ a tyrant who dominated the taste buds of all mankind with his culinary skills, making everyone submit to the power of his frying pan…”

Zhao Longtu was shocked: "To dominate all of humanity with culinary skills?!"

"boom--"

The door to the infirmary was flung open, and Cao Sini walked in expressionlessly. She slapped He Han on the back of the head, shoving his face into the fruit plate in her hand.

Zhao Longtu was stunned: "Didn't humanity become extinct? And who are you?"

He Han raised his hand, trembling: "She is one of the five members of the Four Heavenly Kings under Xue the Demon King, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, nicknamed Cao..."

boom--

He Han collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing this, Zhao Longtu sat up and assumed a defensive boxing stance.

"...Why are there five of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Cao Sini glanced at him silently.

"Can you please stop believing everything you're told?"

"Let's go, now that you're awake, come with me to see the teacher..."

Upon hearing the word 'teacher,' Zhao Longtu's expression suddenly turned violent, and he angrily said:

"What teacher? Where am I?!"

Cao Sini was not intimidated by his performance at all, and said calmly:

"Xuanwu Mansion... is where you took the martial arts exam."

Zhao Longtu asked impatiently, "Who is this teacher you're talking about?!"

Cao Sini glanced at him and calmly said, "You've already seen him, haven't you?"

"The examiner in charge of leading us through the exam is Xue Jing, Teacher Xue."

“Xue Jing…” Zhao Longtu was taken aback.

Vivid memories began to assault him.

"He is...a teacher?"

Zhao, your intuition is strong, but not strong enough.

The man's words echoed in his mind, and Zhao Longtu gritted his teeth and said:

"I see……!"

……

Chapter 330 He Han's reputation is ruined, and Zhao Longtu is uncooperative (4K)

teacher.

This is a word that carries a deep shadow for Zhao Longtu.

Zhao Longtu had no complaints about being instantly defeated by Xue Jing; in fact, he admired Xue Jing's strength and ability to possess such formidable martial prowess at a similar age.

But once he learned that the other party had an additional identity as a 'teacher', the image of 'Xue Jing' in Zhao Longtu's mind immediately began to seep out black mud, and his originally nonchalant and dignified face turned into a strange and sinister smile.

"I dont go."

Zhao Longtu jumped out of bed, walked to the window of the infirmary, and reached out to open it.

"Teachers are all hypocrites... I've had enough, I won't be fooled anymore."

He put his feet on the windowsill and glanced back at Cao Sini.

"Just pretend I don't exist. I'll come over when the martial arts exam starts. Once I'm in the exam room, I'll act on my own and won't cause you any trouble. So don't bother me."

After saying that, he planned to jump out of the window.

Cao Sini, her expression indifferent, leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest. Her long, sharp eyes fixed on Zhao Longtu, and she said:

“I don’t know what you’ve been through, but if you’ve been persecuted by someone or some people, you should hate those specific individuals, not a label that can be attached to anyone.”

Zhao Longtu stopped what he was doing.

“Teaching is just a profession. Teacher Xue is not a professional teacher. He was just temporarily entrusted by some people above to lead us in the martial arts exam. We call him ‘teacher’ out of respect for him.”

Cao Sini's calm and logically clear words made Zhao Longtu's eyes show a thoughtful expression.

"...I think you have a point."

He nodded.

"But I still think that teachers are not good people."

Cao Sini shook her head:

"You boring, stubborn person, think whatever you want, I've said everything I need to say."

“But since Teacher Xue has asked me to take you there, I have to take you there. If you listen to my advice, come with me. If you don’t listen, I will take you away by force.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Longtu stepped on the windowsill, paused briefly, then pushed off with his foot, propelling himself forward at lightning speed.

Almost simultaneously, Cao Sini flashed out of the window and chased after him.

While in mid-air, Zhao Longtu heard a violent gust of wind behind him. He turned around and saw that the woman was approaching him at a speed even faster than he was.

Although he didn't use his full speed, he was still extremely surprised that a woman of the same age, and physically weaker than him, could catch up with him.

Being in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, he couldn't accelerate anytime soon and could only watch helplessly as Cao Sini approached him and then turned around and kicked him in the head.

Zhao Longtu reacted quickly and stretched out his arm to block it.

"Snapped--!!"

With a loud bang, Zhao Longtu's arm went numb. The intense force sent him plummeting to the ground like a meteor, crashing into the earth with a thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The training field was right outside the window of the infirmary, where many students were playing. They were all surprised to see what had suddenly happened.

"What's going on?"
