Transformed into Hyper Zetton, the school beauty was terrified in the second playthrough.

After the meeting, the university presidents quickly distributed the message.

In the blink of an eye, students who were in class or at home all received the message from the Academic Affairs Office at the same time.

Shangcheng District.

On a tall building.

Gu Wanxue frowned slightly as she looked at the news about the academy's rule reforms on her phone.

"Was the rule reform brought forward because of the Dragon-level monster incident?"

In my past life, the school rules were reformed after the fall of Longyuan Base City, which angered the Hero Association headquarters.

I feel that this generation of students is too complacent, to the point that their abilities and mental maturity are far inferior to those of previous generations.

That's why the rule reform was introduced.

Because of this policy, the strength of the human faction subsequently experienced a qualitative leap.

Conversely, the losses were far more severe.

The student mortality rate has risen to 45%.

"Sigh, everything is going off track from the past life. I wonder what will happen if the rules are changed ahead of schedule." Gu Wanxue sighed helplessly.

Looking up at the thriving and bustling Upper City outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a serious expression appeared on his face: "From now on, Longyuan Base City is venturing into uncharted territory. According to the original plan, Longyuan Base City will connect with Sacred Heart Base City in seven days."

"In the previous life, the fall of Longyuan Base City caused Sacred Heart Base City to temporarily change its connecting city."

"But what is certain is that shortly after the other base city connected with Sacred Heart Base City, a group of city-destroying and tsunami-level monsters invaded the two base cities, resulting in the deaths of nearly 100,000 people."

"The outcome of the monster invasion will not change; Longyuan Base City will likely face another calamity in seven days."

Gu Wanxue slowly clenched her fists and turned to look at the rusty broken sword on the marble table.

"Seven days is enough for me to break the seal on this ancient weapon. At that time, I will have A-level strength. But that's not enough. I still need to go to the surface and retrieve something."

…………

Shangcheng District, a luxury villa area.

Inside the largest manor.

Zhao Fengyun sat cross-legged on the leather sofa, holding a tablet in his hand, browsing through the content of the rule reform.

"To pour all resources into cultivating an S-class combatant?" He smirked, his face beaming with excitement, as if he had already decided that he would become an S-class combatant.

"My chance has finally come. I'll show you mortals what a genius really is."

"Hehehehehe..."

Just as he let out an unpleasant laugh, a servant with his head down hurriedly ran in.

"Young Master, the assassin squad you sent has been completely wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengyun's laughter abruptly stopped.

The cold eyes moved to the servant, who trembled uncontrollably in fear.

"You're saying Guo Wei and his group are dead? A group of C-level combatants assassinated an ordinary person and died?"

As Zhao Fengyun's voice rose, the servant swallowed hard and stammered, "Young...Young Master, three of them were killed instantly, with no signs of resistance at the scene. Squad leader Guo Wei, however, revealed your secret, triggering the poison pill's effect and killing him."

Zhao Fengyun laughed in anger: "Ha, the first thing they did after being captured alive was to expose me to take the blame. When I took them in, they swore a blood oath with me that they would never betray me."

"The fact that they were able to take down Guo Wei and his group so quickly most likely means that a B-level combatant was involved."

The attendant cautiously asked, "Young Master, should we send some guardians to handle this?"

Zhao Fengyun closed his eyes and shook his head: "No, B-level combatants make too much noise when they fight, which will easily attract the attention of others."

"I don't want those mortals to know that my Zhao family is so petty that we have to use our guardians to kill an ordinary person."

"There's a competition at the academy tomorrow, so I'll take advantage of the opportunity to go back to school and deal with that kid."

After speaking, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Fengyun's eyes.

…………

Xiacheng District.

Inside the old house.

After dealing with several assassins, Lin Chengfeng did not choose to leave.

Because he knew the Zhao family wanted to kill him, hiding anywhere was useless. The Zhao family's eyes were like an artificial sun in the sky; as long as he was still in Longyuan Base City, it didn't matter where he ran.

It's better to stay home and take them down one by one.

At this time, Lin Chengfeng also received a notification of the rule reform.

He glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs.

Unlike the average person who focuses on training S-class combatants, Lin Chengfeng is fixated on the perks of being able to go out at any time.

"Hey, I was just racking my brains trying to get another identity. Now, I can just go out on the surface and level up by fighting monsters!"

However, before he could be happy for more than a few seconds, he suddenly glanced at the next rule, and his smile immediately vanished.

"hiss……"

"The autopsy specialists have to accompany the combatants to get to the surface?!"

"Damn it!"

Lin Chengfeng thought he could transform openly and legitimately, but he never expected that he would still have to secretly transform behind the combatants.

More bothered by this than by the fact that he had to join a combat squad.

Combat squads have a lot to do and can't go out often; they basically need several days to adjust after each mission.

As the squad's autopsy specialist, when not in a position to work, I also have to act as a caretaker for the combatants.

Lin Chengfeng was extremely unwilling.

"Come to think of it, there's no rule that you have to go out with a combat team; going out alone is fine too. But I don't know any combatants."

Lin Chengfeng sighed and lowered his head, "Since things have come to this, I have no choice but to do it myself."

"Since the regulations stipulate that combatants must be accompanied by autopsy specialists, and autopsy specialists must accompany combatants to go out, then..."

"Why don't I just be the combatant and the autopsy specialist myself?"

Lin Chengfeng had already thought it through.

If you don't want to be bullied, the only way is to become strong yourself.

He originally wanted to be a nobody, relying on Hyper Zetton to kill monsters and level up.

But what happened today changed his mind.

Weakness will only lead to more unfair treatment; respect is earned with might!

"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Fengyun will definitely be at school tomorrow to participate in the combatant competition. He might also try to take action against me secretly."

"Since that's the case, I'll just openly attack him and use him as a stepping stone."

Lin Chengfeng's lips curled into a smile.

Silently, she used the evolution point she had just gained on her human form's power.

As a B-level combatant who was said to be the most promising candidate to reach S-level, Lin Chengfeng dared not be careless.

The bonuses from incorporating evolution points into the body are not as dramatic as those from the initial fusion of evolution points.

With his current strength, taking down a nightmare-level monster with a single punch would be no problem.

"I thought a hundred evolution points would be enough to instantly kill a Dragon Peak cultivator, but it seems I was overthinking it. Before, it was because I was too weak that the first point allocation had a huge boost, but the second one became a normal boost."

"It's alright, it's not like a piecemeal increase."

New task detected:

Defeat Zhao Fengyun: Evolution Points +2

Kill Zhao Fengyun: Evolution Points +10

Upon seeing the system task, Lin Chengfeng laughed: "System, how did you know I'm short on evolution points?"
