Since all these rules and superstitions are outdated, what's wrong with me indulging in some me

The live chat was completely silent.

No way... I already passed, I was so close to leaving alive...

[It wasn't just a close call; the path was flawed from the start. Even if he completed the mission, the evil god wouldn't let him leave alive.]

[Hey! He's already done a great job. This dungeon isn't even a beginner's dungeon at all!]

[Go Lu Shen! He's China's last hope!]

The classroom was deathly silent.

The proctor slowly retracted the quill pen, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

His gaze swept over the remaining ashen-faced "examinees," and his hollow voice rang out again, continuing the unfinished "grading":

"mistake."

"mistake."

"mistake."

……

Review complete.

"All candidates failed the assessment."

"Penalty: To be executed immediately."

A dark red, rule-obliterating storm swept through the entire classroom.

When the storm subsided, only a few empty, blood-stained school uniforms remained.

The proctor stood on the podium, his aura more than twice as strong as before. His last arm had also completely split off. He slowly turned his head, his vortex-like eyes seemingly piercing through the wall, looking in a certain direction.

For the first time, a clear, pleasant thirst lingered in the hollow voice:

"The dessert tastes good."

"Now... it's time for the main course."

-

As soon as Lu Changsheng stepped down from the second floor, he felt a chilling killing intent surge towards him like a tangible tide.

"They're here!" he growled, grabbing Cheng Caijun, who was still stunned beside him. "Run!"

The two turned and rushed towards the stairs.

Ten meters behind, a dark red blood mist condensed in the center of the corridor.

His voice, with a playful, cat-and-mouse tone, entered their minds directly:

"You can't escape."

Lu Changsheng didn't look back. As he ran, he reached into his robes with his left hand and lightly traced the jade pendant with his fingertip!

A drop of blood seeped out and was quickly flicked towards the wall of the corridor behind him!

The blood droplet traced an arc in the air and struck precisely a small, inconspicuous tile grout on the wall.

hum-

The drop of blood instantly seeped into the wall, transforming into a barely visible dark red line that rapidly spread outwards, outlining an extremely concealed, simplified rune no bigger than a palm!

This was the location that Lu Changsheng had already calculated in his mind—the first array eye!

"Ants' tricks."

The proctor didn't even glance at the rune; His figure blurred again.

This time, instead of turning into a blood mist, it simply "disappeared" on the spot.

The next second—

Dark red blood mist condensed in the air three meters in front of Lu Changsheng!

The proctor appeared out of nowhere, blocking the way!

"What?!" Cheng Caijun was horrified.

Teleport?

No, it's spatial folding!

The evil god's control over this area has reached this level!

Lu Changsheng reacted extremely quickly, his forward momentum undiminished, and he flicked out another blood bead with his left hand.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless—"

The blood droplet was precisely embedded behind a loose tile on the wall.

The second key point of the formation is complete!

"Chengcai!"

Lu Changsheng shouted, and Cheng Caijun immediately understood, throwing the coin in the opposite direction.

He was suddenly startled, his gaze instinctively drawn to the yellow copper coins in the distance.

"Jump!"

Lu Changsheng grabbed Cheng Caijun and rushed towards the stairwell, then prepared to jump down through the gap in the stairwell.

"ah--!"

Cheng Caijun was kicked down by Lu Changsheng, and his voice was hoarse from screaming.

"You won't die from a fall!"

Lu Changsheng slapped the handrail with his left hand, turned around, and jumped down the stairwell himself.

The third drop of blood silently seeped into the wooden handrail.

The third key point of the formation is complete!

"Trying to escape?"

With a slight wave of her hand, the proctor displayed a copper coin in her palm.

The next second, His figure disappeared again.

"Chengcai! Run out the gate immediately after landing!"

Lu Changsheng roared amidst the howling wind.

"good!"

The moment the two ran out of the gate—

Outside the teaching building, instead of bright sunshine, the entire school was shrouded in a thick, writhing, dark red blood mist.

Through the blood mist, the outline of the teaching building could be vaguely seen, but at this moment it looked more like a crooked, huge tombstone dripping with filthy blood.

Suddenly, dark red blood mist condensed again on the lawn outside the teaching building!

The proctor appeared before them!

He tilted his head back, his swirling eyes looking down at the two disheveled figures, his lips curving upwards in a wide grin.

"We've got you."

The three bone claws rose upwards simultaneously, and dark red energy began to condense!

"Locust tree, give me three more seconds!"

Cheng Caijun gritted his teeth and threw the last copper coin in his arms into the distance.

"That's disgusting!"

Surprisingly, this time, the proctor didn't pause for even a few seconds, nor did he bother to retrieve the coins; instead, his claws swept towards the two of them once more.

But those few seconds were enough for Lu Changsheng.

Because he had already reached the locust tree, he pressed his left hand firmly into the soil under the locust tree!

The fourth drop of blood seeped into the soil!

The fourth key point of the formation is complete!

All four key points are in position!

"The four key points of the formation are complete—return to your positions immediately!"

"Borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, the formation begins!"

Four faint beams of blood-red light shot into the sky, connecting to the four array eyes respectively!

The beams of light intertwined in the air, forming a huge, shadowy image that covered half of the playground!

"This is—" The proctor finally realized something was wrong.

He wanted to move, but found that his body was bound by an invisible force, and every time he moved, he faced great resistance!

"An array?" His voice held a serious tone for the first time. "When did you set it up?!"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lu Changsheng's lips:

"You think I'm running away?"

He slowly straightened up, his body aching and utterly exhausted, yet his eyes were sharp as knives:

"I'm luring you into a trap!"

This formation finds the four places in the surrounding environment with the strongest energy fluctuations, and at the same time uses its own essence and blood as a guide to bring together the four forces in the four directions, so that they confront and pull against each other, and together condense into a space of resistance.

The proctor's expression changed from the playful teasing to a grim one.

"A clever plan."

His voice lowered.

"but……"

On the surface of His body, the dark red veins suddenly throbbed wildly!

"You think this crude formation can trap me?!"

Lu Changsheng's expression changed. Even if the proctor only possessed one ten-thousandth of the evil god's power, it was still not something they could easily deal with.

boom--!!!

The aura that the evil god had infused into this body erupted in full force!

The dark red energy erupted like a volcano, surging wildly in all directions!

The four beams of light trembled violently, and the light and shadow surrounding the proctor began to distort and deform!

"run!"

Now that things have come to this, Lu Changsheng has used up almost all his methods. He will keep the evil god trapped for as long as he can.

"Run out of the school!"
