The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Chapter 184 Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor (4,000 words)

A tangible stream of energy emanated from his palm, resembling a wave of power.

The attack spread instantly, blasting nearby strange birds into pieces, while those further away, such as Teacher Qin, were blown away by the airflow.

The group scrambled to their feet, utterly shocked.

Ning Du's strength truly exceeded their expectations. Moreover, this move was by no means inferior to a B-rank.

This guy has really struck it rich!

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the strange bird had been pinned down and brutally beaten by Ning Du at some point.

Punch after punch, fists flying, arms like phantoms.

Those with slightly better eyesight can even see the exaggerated twisting and spiraling of Ning Du's arm muscles.

It was as if he wasn't using a human flesh and blood body, but rather the steel arm of a rice cooker.

Finally, the strange bird was completely defeated and disappeared as data points.

The voice of AI has been heard again.

"Extreme battle passed, rating S. Congratulations on completing the Wind-level assessment. Your assessment has been recorded in its entirety and is awaiting submission to the Alliance for review. Results will be available in three days at the latest. Please pay attention to notifications."

Ning Du grinned.

That's it!

It was simpler than I imagined; there weren't any particularly difficult parts.

Of course, this is only true for him; for others, even giants might be too much to overcome.

"Congratulations!"

"sharp!"

"Brother Ning, you're like a little cow that can set off a firecracker, absolutely awesome!"

Of the group, the happiest person wasn't Fatty Wang, but Teacher Qin.

For the past year, Teacher Qin has been worried about Ning Du's training situation.

They were afraid that after a year, Ningdu would not only fail to make progress, but would even regress.

Now it seems all the worries have vanished, and things are even better than we imagined.

Wind level!

A high school student who hasn't even taken the college entrance exam has already achieved a wind-level score.

If this gets out, it will definitely make the news.

Moreover, judging from Ning Du's performance, his strength must be more than eight hundred world powers, at least a thousand!

This speed at which the world's power is being elevated cannot be described as genius.

Instead, we should use the word "perverted"!

Yes, it's really perverted.

"You haven't used your transformation skill yet!"

Team Leader Lin also discovered a blind spot: a glint in someone's eye.

A transformation-type awakened individual passed the Wind-level assessment without even using their transformation ability. What does this mean?

They probably didn't even use half of their strength.

Ning Du smiled but didn't speak, only looking at Teacher Qin and saying, "Teacher, I plan to apply to the First Guardian University. You have to help me with this final push!"

Teacher Qin nodded repeatedly: "No problem. I will definitely come up with the best solution for you. And with your current abilities, you're guaranteed admission to the First Guardian University."

"I think so too!"

Ning Du grinned, his eyes resolute.

Everything is ready; all that's left is the college entrance exam!

"What? Ning Du is back? The college entrance exam is coming up soon, right? Good luck, Ning Du!"

"Make sure you prepare well and get into a good school!"

"Ningdu, why don't you apply to my school? I'll be waiting for you there!"

The group chat was full of people welcoming Ning Du back from training.

Several people are still wondering which school Ningdu plans to apply to.

Ning Du only told them that the First Guardian University was the top priority, and that they could talk about the others later.

When they heard that Ning Du really intended to apply to the First Guardian University, some people believed him, while others thought it was a risky move.

Knowing the situation, Wang Hama kept his mouth shut this time and didn't say anything in the group.

He also wanted to apply to the First Guardian University, even though he only had 500 World Power, he just wanted to give it a try.

Back at school, Ningdu started by catching up on her academic studies.

A year has passed, and I've fallen behind in my academic studies; now I have to pick it all up again.

Fortunately, my foundation was solid, so I picked it up quickly.

More importantly, Ning Du has a trump card: he can guarantee that he will not do poorly in his academic subjects.

Those who are interested can still find out news about Ning Du's return.

For example, there's Luo Cheng, Ning Du's defeated foe, and Wang Hama's cousin, Wang Erni.

After they learned that Ning Du had returned, they all sent him messages.

It roughly means, "Although you were really awesome before, I won't let you off easy this time in the college entrance exam."

Ning Du just smiled after reading it.

Sometimes, the gap doesn't shrink, it widens.

It will be a very, very big one!

Just don't cry when the time comes.

Three days later, Ning Du received a message from the Alliance that he had passed the Wind-level assessment and the badge would be delivered within a day.

Ning Du kept a low profile and didn't post about it on social media to show off, because it wasn't the right time yet.

However, some people within the league can still access information about his passing the wind-level assessment.

"Okay, I got it. That kid's really something, I'll keep an eye on him."

At the First Guardian Affiliated High School, Teacher Xiahou learned of Ning Du's passing of the Wind-level assessment immediately.

With a smile on his lips, Teacher Xiahou was not surprised, because he had seen in the Realm of the Dead that Ning Du must have the strength of the Wind level or above.

coming!

The final test.

After thinking for a moment, Teacher Xiahou began sending messages to all the students in the affiliated high school who were going to take the college entrance examination.

"Ning Du, Yizhou No. 1 Middle School, a shapeshifter awakened, nicknamed 'Rice Cooker Boy,' do not mess with him!"

After sending the message, Teacher Xiahou pondered for a moment.

Then he added a follow-up message: "If you encounter this during the college entrance exam, try to avoid fighting and run away quickly!"

There's no way around it; the college entrance examination is a major event for every student.

It would be terrible if I ruined my college entrance exam because of some weirdo.

Therefore, some people must be taken seriously.

To be honest, this is the first time in many years that we've made such preparations to deal with students from ordinary schools.

Haha, I hope nothing goes wrong.

Teacher Xiahou's information quickly became a topic of discussion at the school.

Some students didn't understand, some immediately looked it up, and some didn't take it seriously.

Yin Wei saw the message and simply smiled slightly.

She immediately realized that the rice cooker had probably caused some trouble again.

But it doesn't matter, she wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge this rice cooker during the college entrance exam.

To defeat a rice cooker, you have to be absolutely sure of your safety.

Haha, rice cooker, don't overhype yourself.

We must go all the way to the end!

You must give me a chance to get revenge.

The commotion at the affiliated high school also attracted the attention of teachers from the other three of the four prestigious schools.

However, it's possible that because teachers and students from other prestigious universities had never been to the Netherworld and had never truly witnessed the power of the rice cooker, they didn't take it seriously.

I opened the teachers' internal group chat and a few teachers from the Awakening Class chatted for a bit.

"Hehe, Teacher Xiahou, you've become so cautious after losing once? That's a bit much!"

"I heard that this rice cooker kid caused quite a stir in the Land of the Dead, and apparently even went to the Land of the Dead."

"So what? It's just making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Perhaps we should be cautious and inform our classmates so they can take this seriously."

"Is that really necessary? All four top universities are paying attention to one person; he's getting too much prestige."

"That's right, let Teacher Xiahou play by himself. We won't participate!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Meanwhile, somewhere within the alliance.

The renowned Skywalker Godslayer is attending a special gathering.

Suddenly, a sleazy old man slipped in, looking left and right as he searched for a seat.

Then he grinned and sat down next to God Butcher.

Upon seeing the old man, Shen Tu said irritably, "Old Ghost Wu, what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to be wandering the world? Oh, right, I heard you even took your apprentice and caused quite a ruckus in the Netherworld. Since you arrived, the Netherworld's stronghold has been attacked twice, and the second time many undead fled. Was that the trouble you caused?"

Upon hearing Shen Tu's words, everyone else present turned to look and burst into laughter.

"Oh, is that so? Old Wu, you're going to lose money again!"

"He's already broke, what's the point of him paying anything?"

"Don't let him lose money! Good grief, last time I teamed up with him, he almost made me rotten!"

The crowd laughed incessantly, but Old Man Wu remained calm and unperturbed, too lazy to explain to them.

At this moment, the man sitting at the top slowly opened his eyes, and the halo behind him emitted a seven-colored glow.

"Is everyone here? Shall we start the meeting? It's that time of year again for dividing up the territories across the myriad realms. Shall we do it the old way? Hey, is anyone even listening to me?"

The group continued chatting, seemingly not taking this meeting, which concerned the safety of billions of people worldwide, seriously at all.

They were still chatting about other things.

"Grandpa Chen, is your youngest son taking the college entrance exam this year? Where does he plan to apply?"

"Where else could it be? First Guardian University, of course. That should be fine!"

"Right, Lao Jiu, what about your apprentice? He's also taking the college entrance exam this year, isn't he?"

"Hahaha, my apprentice is definitely going to get into the First Guardian University! Just you wait, he'll come out on top this year and you old bastards will be green with envy!"

Everyone was eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting happily, except for the man sitting on the lotus platform at the very top, with a halo shining behind him, who was holding his forehead, not knowing what to say.

It's getting harder and harder to open now!

"Wait a minute, Old Wu. I remember your apprentice is also taking the college entrance exam around this year, right?"

Shen Tu suddenly spoke up, drawing the attention of everyone around him to Old Man Wu.

Even the person sitting on the lotus platform cast a curious glance, a smile playing on their lips.

Old Wu was slurping his noodles when he suddenly heard Shen Tu's words and almost spat them out of his nostrils.

"No, you're mistaken. It'll be another year or two!"

Old Wu waved his hands repeatedly, resolutely denying it.

But the more he denied it, the more determined Shen Tu was to expose him.

"Why not? Let me check for you. Ning Du, Yizhou No. 1 High School, 18 years old, senior. Isn't he taking the college entrance exam this year? What, you don't want to take him on as your apprentice anymore? Then you can transfer him to me. I'll train him for you, don't ruin his future!"

The God Butcher laughed heartily.

When the others heard that Wu Laogui's apprentice was also taking the college entrance examination this year, they all became very interested.

"It really is this year. Old Wu, I won't stand on ceremony. My apprentice must have a match with your apprentice, and whoever loses treats!"

"Hahaha, what a coincidence? Then my Chen family disciple must also learn from your disciple. As the saying goes, the disciple is the one who pays the debt to the master."

"That makes sense, that makes sense. I'll go back and check if any of my family members are taking the college entrance exam this year; we must arrange for them to take it."

"I remember I have a few grand-nephews studying at the top four universities. Let them help me pay off some of my debts too."

Seeing the group's malicious smiles, Old Wu suddenly lost his appetite.

He put down his chopsticks and shouted, "A bunch of bastards. If you have the guts, come at me. What kind of person messes with my apprentice?"

"I'll mess with your apprentice, you think you can handle that?"

"Yeah, you old rascal, you run faster than a rabbit. This time, your apprentice won't be able to escape, will he?"

"Every cause has its effect; your retribution is coming!"

No one gave an inch, so Old Man Wu quickly looked at the person on the lotus platform.

"Lord Hao, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"

The man called Lord Hao spread his hands, a smile on his face, and said, "None of you listen to me, so why should I care? Besides, I think you really need to pay back some of your debts, starting with your apprentice. You can't stay a deadbeat forever!"

Old Wu's eyes darted around, and suddenly he slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Alright, so this is how you play it? Fine, challenge my disciple to a duel, no problem. But let's make it clear, no underhanded tactics. See you in the College Entrance Examination World! Secondly, we can't bring in any chosen ones. Those who've already entered Guardian University, entered the Secret Realm World, or gone to cultivate in the Great World, don't suddenly bring them back. If we're going to compete, let's do it fair and square, a junior's duel. Anyone who brings back someone hundreds of years old from some cultivation world and claims to be their junior, I'll despise them!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Sure! From our world."

"That's right, anything that isn't a world-class power doesn't count."

"Don't worry, it's not fake."

Old Wu suddenly shouted "Good!"

"Alright! It's settled then. If my apprentice loses, I'll pay off your debts. But if my apprentice wins—"

As Old Wu finished speaking, he looked at the person on the lotus platform and then grinned.

"Then I'll have to ask you guys to do your part for the alliance this time. You handle the territorial division, the alliance can take the profits, I don't want any!"

Old Wu pretended to be very outspoken.

Upon hearing this, the Lord Hao on the lotus platform immediately clapped.

"Alright, it's settled then. This is a good idea. I'll be your witness, and I'll even swear an oath for you!"

After speaking, Lord Hao formed a lotus mudra with his hands, and countless golden lotuses appeared, transforming into characters and combining to form a book.

Old Wu went up and signed the document without flinching.

The others were a little intimidated by Old Man Wu's audacity.

"Is this old ghost that confident? Is his apprentice that strong?"

"I just checked, they've only been recruited for less than two years. A transformation-type awakener, their first awakening record is 20th-century power!"

"Huh? Only twenty?"

"That old ghost's gone mad!"

"Sign it. That old devil can't teach any good disciples anyway; nine times out of ten, they'll be some charlatan. Let's just do it!"

"That makes sense. I heard he's an alchemist."

"Isn't that just Wu Laogui's trick? Let's get him!"

"Signed! Signed!"

After he finished speaking, everyone stepped forward to sign.

Even the God Butcher finally stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and signed the document.

"What are you doing? Do you even have apprentices or descendants? You're just going to sign?"

Old Wu looked at Shen Tu and said.

Shen Tu grinned.

"What a coincidence, I've only taken in one in the last two years, perfect for helping me collect debts. Old Wu, just you wait and see!"
