Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The practical assessment began three days after the written test.

Led by the instructors, all the new students arrived at the simulated battlefield on the hill behind the school.

"This is a points bracelet, used to record the points you get from gathering resources and hunting monsters. The base score is 10 points."

"When you encounter danger, it will also generate a protective shield to help you withstand the damage and teleport you out of the examination room."

The instructors gave each student a points wristband.

Next, we will explain some potential rules for practical assessments.

For example, you need to be wary of other students.

For example, when fighting other students, don't go too far, and don't even think about killing them.

"The entire simulated battlefield is equipped with surveillance cameras. Your every move will be displayed on the screens outside, and we will continuously monitor what is happening on the battlefield. So you'd better be smart and not cause any trouble."

The instructor said the last sentence almost while staring at Luo Chuan.

"..."

Luo Chuan pretended not to hear.

The other students, however, couldn't help but reveal strange smiles on their faces upon hearing this.

Soon, the exam time arrived, and all freshmen entered the simulated battlefield through the teleportation device.

……

As soon as Luo Chuan entered the battlefield, he encountered several students.

"It's Luo Chuan!"

The students, who were initially on guard, immediately united upon seeing Luo Chuan.

"Let's stall him for now. You quickly tell the others that Luo Chuan is here!"

One of the students took off running, while the remaining three students surrounded Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What are you doing?"

"Luo Chuan, you have nowhere to run!"

The student in the lead shouted.

"All of us freshmen have reached a consensus: we'll eliminate you first in this exam! Give up, you're already surrounded. No matter how talented you are, you can't possibly defeat all of us."

"Oh? Is that so? That's not necessarily true."

Luo Chuan raised his hand and made a gesture in the air. The surrounding spiritual energy quickly materialized into ether, and under Luo Chuan's control, it rapidly shaped into a long sword.

"Is it possible that you are surrounded by me?"

With that, Luo Chuan made a decisive move.

His figure moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of the leading student.

"Stop him!"

The leading student was terrified and wanted to retaliate, but it was too late.

Swah——

A beautiful silver arc was drawn across the void.

It grazed the student's neck.

Click.

A barrier suddenly popped out of the bracelet, blocking the sword.

At the same time, the leading student transformed into a flash of light and was teleported out of the simulated battlefield.

Only one bracelet remains.

Luo Chuan did not stop.

The other two students were still in shock.

He pressed his advantage, charging straight at his opponent with the Aether Sword in hand.

The two students had never seen anything like this before, and in their panic, they even forgot how to use their innate abilities.

In just a couple of swift movements, they became victims of Luo Chuan's sword and were teleported out of the simulated battlefield.

Luo Chuan casually picked up the three bracelets and leaned them against his own.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The score on the bracelet has changed to 40 points.

"What a dream start."

Luo Chuan looked up at the sky, a flash of silver light in his eyes.

Although there was nothing above him, he still managed to spot the Observing Eye hidden in the void.

Luo Chuan smiled slightly at the Eye of Observation.

"It's almost time."

……

Everything that happens on the simulated battlefield will be broadcast live via the campus network.

At this moment, all the teachers and students of Dongcheng University were watching the live broadcast.

Luo Chuan's displayed strength shocked everyone.

"They eliminated the other students in just one match!"

In the faculty office, an elderly professor marveled at Luo Tian's performance.

"His first move was a decisive one, seizing the initiative and quickly completing a series of kills, leaving the other students no time to react."

"His spiritual power is indeed still at the level of a first-level martial artist, but his clean and crisp swordsmanship and seasoned combat experience completely overwhelmed the others."

"Is this really a freshman? His swordsmanship and combat experience are impeccable. He's practically a swordsmanship master who has been immersed in martial arts for many years."

"Of course, he's a genius student I specially recruited."

Teacher Xiaolin straightened her chest with a sense of pride.

She proudly pushed up her glasses and continued.

"Luo Chuan has never participated in any actual combat before, but he possesses the C-level talent of 'Life is Like a Play,' which allows him to imitate other people's moves. These sword techniques should be what he learned during his seclusion a few days ago."

"Incredible talent! Such monstrous learning ability, yet only a C-level?"

The old professor found it hard to believe.

Grade C refers not only to the type of talent ability, but also to the effectiveness of that talent ability.

It's somewhat unscientific that a C-level talent could have such an outrageous learning ability.

"Ms. Kobayashi seems to value this student named Luo Chuan very much?"

At that moment, a passing teacher chimed in.

He smiled at Ms. Kobayashi, then looked at the live stream screen.

"I've heard a lot of rumors about him among the students. They say he's arrogant, conceited, and unruly. He challenged the whole class as soon as he arrived, and even the older students disliked him and were eager to teach him a lesson."

"Geniuses are always a bit eccentric. Luo Chuan is indeed somewhat arrogant, but not to the point of provoking public outrage..."

Teacher Kobayashi chuckled twice.

Upon reflection, she realized that Luo Chuan had acted extremely arrogantly from the very first time she met him.

Confidently showcasing one's talents and abilities during the martial arts exam...

On the arena, he calmly defeated Wang Yuan, who was at the S-rank, using his C-rank talent, showing off his hidden S-rank talent...

During the tripartite talks, they even deliberately embarrassed Professor Liu from Beijing University, thus offending the university...

He has an exceptional ability to cause trouble.

Ms. Kobayashi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and mechanically turned her head to the other side.

She felt like she'd been tricked by Luo Chuan.

I promised to protect them when they were specially recruited, will that make things difficult for them later...?

"..."

A passing teacher observed Ms. Kobayashi with great interest.

Another teacher suddenly pointed to the live stream screen.

"Hey, isn't Luo Chuan watching the live stream of 'Eye of Observation'?"

"How is that possible? The Eye of Observation is hidden in space, how could he possibly have discovered it?"

The others waved their hands dismissively.

However, when they looked at the live stream, they were surprised to find that Luo Chuan seemed to be genuinely smiling at them.

"This... is impossible!"

……

"I heard that Luo Chuan has appeared in the eastern region."

Inside the simulated battlefield, a group of students formed a large team.

The leader was Chen Mubai, one of the six S-level talent students from Dongcheng University.

Upon hearing the other students' reports, he squinted, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"We're a bit far from him, and it's too late to get there now. We'd better lure him into a trap and wait for him to come to us. Knowing his personality, he definitely won't stay in the East District forever."

After a brief analysis, Chen Mubai immediately instructed the other students.

"First, try to win over other students, preferably by joining forces with other S-class students, so as to avoid being defeated one by one by Luo Chuan."

Although Luo Chuan is arrogant, he does indeed possess strength above S-rank.

Chen Mubai knew he was no match for Luo Chuan.

Rather than risk a one-on-one fight, it's better to play it safe and gather a team to crush Luo Chuan.

You should blame yourself for offending too many people.

Chen Mubai thought to himself.

The rumors he spread, after fermenting over this period of time, have made Luo Chuan the public enemy of all the new students.

There was no need for persuasion; all that was needed was to raise the banner of punishing Luo Chuan, and the other students would voluntarily join the ranks.

Chen Mubai had no grudge against Luo Chuan.

They didn't care about Luo Chuan's contempt.

The reason he targeted Luo Chuan was simply because he felt a strong threat from him.

Too dangerous.

The danger level even exceeded that of Lin Du.

To achieve final victory, this threat must be eliminated first.

Chen Mubai clicked on the bracelet, and a leaderboard showing the top ten scorers popped up.

Luo Chuan defeated three students at the start, immediately rising to the top of the list. He then continued to defeat other students, and now he firmly holds the top spot.

"second?"

Chen Mubai opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

Now let's look at the student who is ranked first.

It wasn't a student in the top class, but someone whose name he had never heard of before.
