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

"Who is that person ranked number one?"

Outside the examination hall, many viewers watching the live stream looked completely bewildered as they watched the constantly updated leaderboard.

Most of the famous freshmen have heard of them.

The most famous one is naturally Luo Chuan, who ranked first in the entrance exam.

Following closely behind were the remaining five S-class freshmen.

Next down are the good-looking school beauties and hunks, or the second-generation rich kids with impressive family backgrounds, or the exceptional talents who excel in a certain field.

Anyway, I've never even heard of the person currently ranked first on the leaderboard.

Even the student council was somewhat confused.

"Come to think of it, I think I heard about her from a freshman girl before."

The student union secretary recalled with a frown.

"She was in the same class as my junior. Because she was so bad at military training, she could hardly keep up with the courses and was always at the bottom of the class. She didn't have many friends either."

"Lacks talent?"

The student council president pushed up his glasses and fell silent as he watched the other party's live stream.

Are you sure you're not joking?

"I misjudged it."

The student council president sighed.

"Other organizations would definitely try to recruit such a special talent as her, trying every means to bring her under their control."

"She's already surrounded and being pursued."

The student union secretary smiled as he watched the live stream.

……

Luo Chuan walked through the simulated battlefield.

It's said to be the back mountain of Dongcheng University, but it's actually the size of an entire mountain range.

For Luo Chuan, who is currently only a first-level martial artist, it is still too big.

Even if all the freshmen were put in there, it would still feel empty.

"Just as expected, the biggest obstacle to achieving our goal of domination is not being besieged, but not being able to find anyone."

Luo Chuan hadn't encountered any other students in a long time.

In this unlimited test, if you can't win, you can at least avoid it.

Rather, most students prefer to improve their points by collecting resources rather than fighting amongst themselves.

Even the school is encouraging everyone to explore more.

Otherwise, the base score wouldn't be set at only 10 points, while picking a single medicinal herb would start at 5 points.

Luo Chuan tapped the bracelet to open the leaderboard.

He defeated many students in succession, and with the resources he plundered along the way, his score has reached 2375.

Ranked second.

Now let's look at the guy who's ranked number one.

Hsu Hsiao-chin, 2560.

"Absolutely amazing."

Luo Chuan found it amusing.

Xu Xiaojin's strength ranks last among the freshmen, so she obviously doesn't gain points through combat.

The vast majority of points are obtained by collecting resources.

"There are no useless talents, only incompetent people. Truly a top-notch intelligence support."

During this period, Luo Tian gave Xu Xiaojin some pointers, helping her find a direction for developing and applying her abilities.

As a result, it immediately began to shine.

"We still need to meet up with Xu Xiaojin as soon as possible."

A silvery-white light flashed in Luo Chuan's eyes.

This is the spatial eye bestowed by Dijiang.

Within the vision of the Eye of Space, everything around appears as a colorless, net-like structure.

No matter the slightest movement or clue, it could not escape Luo Chuan's eyes.

Soon, he found a small ligature mark on a nearby tree trunk.

Looking at the pre-arranged code, Luo Chuan smiled.

"Time needs to be accelerated."

He immediately followed the coded message and sped off in a certain direction.

As Luo Chuan ventured deeper, the coded messages left by Xu Xiaojin became more numerous, but also increasingly confusing.

There were still traces of other people around.

In addition, there were broken steel wires nearby.

Even a fool could tell that Xu Xiaojin was being hunted down.

"That won't do. I'm counting on her to help me catch all the new students in one fell swoop."

Luo Chuan made a decisive move, spiritual energy flowed beneath his feet, and his body shot out instantly.

It was as if we were traversing the void.

"Mysterious Heaven Stepping Step".

In an instant, the earth shrinks to an inch.

A distance of thousands of meters is reduced to a mere foot, traversed with just one step.

……

"You have nowhere to run!"

In the forest, Xu Xiaojin leaned against the mountain wall, surrounded by more than a dozen students.

A girl with chestnut-brown wavy hair walked out of the crowd.

She is Lu Zhiyao, the young lady of the Lu family, one of the four great families of Dongcheng, and also one of the students who awakened S-level talent.

"Why did you run away?"

Lu Zhiyao lifted the wavy hair behind her ears, revealing a confident and charming smile.

"Xu Xiaojin, I only admire your abilities and intend to recruit you into my camp. Why are you hiding like this?"

"Or perhaps, you have some grievance against me?"

At this point, Lu Zhiyao's smile gradually turned sinister.

She saw Xu Xiaojin's name on the leaderboard, and coincidentally, there was a student who knew Xu Xiaojin next to her.

Upon learning that Xu Xiaojin was the weakest student in the class, they immediately deduced that Xu Xiaojin possessed exceptional investigative talent.

So he wanted to recruit the other party to his cause and help him win first place.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiaojin didn't seem to buy it, and used her talent to hide and evade until now, when she finally blocked her escape route.

"..."

Xu Xiaojin pursed her lips.

She never imagined she would encounter something like this.

Luo Chuan taught her the correct way to use her talent, and in return, she had to work as Luo Chuan's subordinate, assisting him in the simulated battlefield to find the other students.

So after entering the simulated battlefield, Xu Xiaojin left a secret signal for Luo Chuan while taking her entrance exam.

Unfortunately, because he stood out too much, he immediately became someone else's prey.

Xu Xiaojin warily observed the students around her, then shook her head, declining Lu Zhiyao's invitation.

"Sorry, I've already agreed to team up with other people."

"Then you can refuse him, or you can join my team with him."

Lu Zhiyao said it casually, but inwardly he was quite unconvinced.

She was determined to gain Xu Xiaojin's loyalty.

"What I set my sights on, I will get it no matter what. If I can't have it, I'd rather destroy it!"

Lu Zhiyao's gaze turned cold.

She stretched out her fist and slowly clenched it, as if she were crushing something.

If there was any intention to negotiate before, now it's a blatant threat.

"You only have two choices: become one of my people, or become my enemy."

"..."

Xu Xiaojin remained silent.

She gazed intently at Lu Zhiyao through her glasses.

After a moment's hesitation, he assumed a fighting stance.

it is more than words.

"very good!"

Lu Zhiyao sneered.

"Since I can't get your people, I can only settle for the next best thing and use your points to compensate."

"Get them!"

With a wave of her hand, her henchmen immediately rushed towards Xu Xiaojin.

"Miss Zhiyao is kindly trying to win you over, so why refuse?"

The henchman voiced what everyone else was thinking.

The students around her were also puzzled. Miss Zhiyao was of noble status, outstanding in talent and beauty, and her every smile and frown was incredibly charming, as if she possessed a captivating magic that made people fall in love with her and submit to her.

How could anyone refuse?

Lu Zhiyao pointed at Xu Xiaojin, proudly raising her chin.

"No one can save you today!"

The voice just fell.

A cry of pain came from ahead.

The follower who had just rushed out was suddenly sent flying back, passing by her and crashing heavily to the ground.

Lu Zhiyao's expression froze.

A figure suddenly appeared between her and Xu Xiaojin.

……

"It seems I've arrived just in time."

Luo Chuan dusted himself off and looked around.

He just moved through the forest at an extremely fast speed.

After finding Xu Xiaojin, they happened to see someone plotting against her.

So he instantly appeared in front of the other person and kicked him away.

Since it was his first time using the Xuan Tian Ta Xu Bu in the high-level martial arts world, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

After they stopped, they realized that they and Xu Xiaojin were surrounded.

Luo Chuan glanced at Lu Zhiyao, who was at the head of the group.

Although they weren't very close, they were classmates after all, and one of the few S-level students, so Luo Chuan quickly recognized him.

"Lu Zhiyao?"

"Luo...Luo Chuan?!"

Lu Zhiyao was greatly surprised.

It seems they never expected to run into Luo Chuan here.

As fellow students in the top-tier class, Lu Zhiyao was also present when Luo Chuan provoked the entire class.

She didn't know what others thought, but she remained resentful about it.

As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, when have you ever been treated with such contempt?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao gritted her teeth.

"Luo Chuan! Are you trying to get in my way?"

"Is it possible that you're the one getting in my way?"

Luo Chuan said calmly.

He glanced back at Xu Xiaojin, who understood and nodded to Luo Chuan before coming to his side.

State your position.

"So you're all in cahoots."

Lu Zhiyao suddenly realized.

She sized up Luo Chuan for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly changed her previous exasperation.

She tossed her hair aside, gave Luo Chuan a captivating look, and a charming smile played on her lips.

"Alright, let's just say I misunderstood. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, Luo Chuan, how about we work together? I promise you won't suffer any losses."

"And then, like those students, become your puppets?"

Luo Chuan chuckled and shook his head.

Lu Zhiyao possesses a talent for the mind, and the students in front of her seem to be in unusual mental states.

It was obvious that she was under Lu Zhiyao's mental control.

"...You really know a lot."

Lu Zhiyao's smile faded.

"Looks like there's no room for negotiation?"

"I never intended to talk to you in the first place."

"Since that's the case, let's settle both old and new scores!"

Lu Zhiyao gritted her teeth, revealing her wicked, spoiled nature.

"We outnumber you and you're all alone. What can you possibly do?"

All the students moved forward in unison, closing in on Luo Chuan step by step.

Luo Chuan looked around at everyone.

"More people? Then I'm not sleepy anymore."

He slowly and deliberately formed the mudra.

Then his eyes narrowed.

"The Divine Decree of the Firmament—Heavenly Soldiers' Martial Arts Drill!"

In an instant, sand and stones flew, and the wind and clouds changed color!
