Exploding God

[Attending class? Sleeping?]

These two keywords entered his brain, quickly bringing Lu Ze back to his senses.

His first thought was that everything he had just experienced was an illusion in his mind; manipulating the mind was a strength of certain races in certain star systems.

So he was actually still in the twenty-second realm of the Tower of Mist.

However, the middle-aged man's face seemed somewhat familiar, especially the gloomy look flashing in his triangular eyes, which definitely appeared in some ancient memory.

Yuan Hui looked at the bewildered, hamster-like eyes in front of him, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Lu Ze!! Get up!" The angry roar finally descended like a storm.

The roar made Lu Ze's eardrums ache, his pupils contracted sharply, and countless images flashed through his mind like a movie.

Lu Ze's gaze finally returned to focus, landing squarely on the atavistic ape-man in front of him.

"ape……"

Upon hearing Lu Ze speak, Yuan Hui snorted coldly. Could this kind of loss of face be resolved by simply calling him "Teacher Yuan"? If this kid didn't show sincerity that satisfied him, this matter wouldn't be over today.

The poor boy preparing for the college entrance examination must treat his teacher with utmost respect.

"……monkey?"

However, the next word that was slowly uttered made Yuan Hui freeze on the spot.

[Ape? Me?]

The next second, that gloomy face turned from black to dark purple.

Lu Ze was still scrutinizing Yuan Hui, but his thoughts were like fleeting movie scenes, finally settling on the summer when he was 17.

A month before the college entrance exam... familiar scenes, familiar classmates, familiar green shade and sunshine.

At this moment, he was still an ordinary high school student in the reddish-brown area. The planetary drilling machine from the distant universe had not yet landed in the Jegusalon Glacier Lake, the coordinates of Earth had not yet been exposed, and human civilization was still within the safe walls.

Silver Moon Civilization, Blood Prison Civilization, Mermaid Civilization, War Drum Civilization... those bizarre races and the vast starry age of the future have not yet arrived.

In that dark age when humanity was almost extinct, Lu Ze, the God of War who had wielded fire alone for a century and dominated the twenty-one realms as a human from Earth, shining like a star in the night sky, returned to 117 years ago, to his senior year of high school when he was full of hope for the future.

So now, it is 2073 AD.

Memories sealed away for decades surged into my mind like a torrent, and in that instant, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

Lu Ze's thoughts were in turmoil, and he instinctively closed his eyes.

"puff!"

A male student who was secretly drinking water in the corner suddenly sprayed it out, and the sunlight made the water mist look like a rainbow.

A deathly silence fell over the classroom...

At that moment, everyone's eyes were flashing with two words—"Awesome!"

Two seats behind Lu Ze, a short-haired boy wearing a sea-colored trench coat helplessly covered his face.

"Aze, this time even a god can't save you... Don't fucking ask who said that, I said it."

Liang Bo frantically rubbed his hair. Was his brother planning to let loose at the last moment of high school? If he really wanted to provoke the big black ape, why couldn't he just wait another month?

Yuan Hui's cheek muscles twitched, causing his entire arm to tremble—a sign that his strength had been stretched to its limit.

Seeing that things were going badly, the surrounding classmates had already moved half of their bodies away from their original positions, fearing that the black monkey might go berserk in the next second and affect them. This bastard is ruthless when he gets evil.

"Good...very good...So your previous image as a good student was just an act. I really underestimated you."

The black ape narrowed its eyes, then a cruel smile flashed across its lips.

"Take off your data bracelet, stand at the back of the classroom, listen carefully to every word I say, and then answer my questions."

"If you can't answer that, hey."

Black Ape stopped talking, seemingly amiably straightened Lu Ze's collar, then clapped his hands and returned to the podium.

"You've all seen the news. A NASA scientist died a violent death, and the power of the fog has once again been revealed to humanity. In today's battle history lesson, we'll focus on analyzing the key character in the news—the Tide White Beast."

"The Tide-White Behemoth weighs over 1200 tons, has a threat level of 10-12 stars, and possesses 20 sonic cages throughout its body, capable of releasing shockwaves ranging from 10 to 1 tons, with a kill radius of approximately 1-3 kilometers. That behemoth we just saw was the first 12-star behemoth to appear on Earth to date!"

The students immediately turned their attention away from Lu Ze and then looked at the black ape with the most eager eyes.

As for Lu Ze...

She silently unfastened her bracelet and calmly walked to the back of the classroom.

"Aze, when the chimpanzee asks you a question later, look under my left arm."

Liang Bo grinned at his good brother, but when Lu Ze looked at him, he suddenly gave a strange smile. Liang Bo felt uneasy when he saw that smile, and Lu Ze's gaze made him feel creeped out.

"What about me?" Liang Bo swallowed hard.

Lu Ze smiled but didn't say anything. He simply patted Liang Bo on the shoulder amidst the admiring gazes of the entire class and walked past him.

"Liang Bo, you stand with him!! Come to my office after class."

A slap landed on his face, and Liang Bo stood up with a long face, slinking along with Lu Ze amidst the laughter of the whole class.

When Yuan Hui began his lecture, he looked ahead with a worried expression and muttered, "Being targeted by the Black Heart Ape means I'll be skinned alive again."

"Tell me honestly, did you take the wrong medicine today?! And what's with that weird smile? It's giving me the creeps."

After saying a long string of words, he still hadn't heard a response. Liang Bo's cheek twitched, and he turned around to glare at Lu Ze, only to see Lu Ze's nostalgic gaze and that increasingly perverted smile in his eyes.

"It's good that you're still alive," Lu Ze said with a smile.

Holy crap!

Liang Bo shuddered, almost cursing out loud, his face turning bright red.

What the hell do you mean by "still alive"? Bo is 18 years old this year, the age of youthful vigor, and still a virgin. How can he not be alive?!

Lu Ze curled the corners of his lips but remained silent.

Liang Bo never imagined that at the age of 26, when he stepped into the mist and found himself in a life-threatening situation, he would be forced to lose his virginity because of a smooth talker's promise to marry a Silver Moon princess who was also dying. However, he survived because of this and became a Silver Moon contractor by chance. He was the first person in human history to step into the ranks of the extraordinary in such a bizarre way.

A superior life form that transcends mortals, a superhuman being one in a million, and just like that, he entered the realm in such a ridiculous way.

He had fought alongside Liang Bo and his wife for thirty years, but tragically, while exploring the sixth floor of the Tower of Mist, the couple was ambushed by the dark organization Tomb Star Legion and died in the Ghostly White Star Sea.

That year, Liang Bo was 57 years old and had just entered the fifteenth rank, possessing the combat power of a lower-level king.

"Lu Ze, tell me, is it because of the pressure of the college entrance exam lately? Are you too nervous?" Liang Bo swallowed hard and continued to comfort him, "Actually, don't give up. This is just a psychological issue, and it can be treated."

Lu Ze leaned against the wall, calmly closed his eyes, and ignored it.

"Are you worried about medical expenses? Don't worry, I'll cover them..."

"You booked it?" a soft voice asked from behind.

"Yeah, I've got it. Damn!" Liang Bo felt a chill rise from his tailbone to the top of his head. Trembling, he turned around and saw Yuan Hui's sinister black face.

"Teacher Yuan." Liang Bo gave a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Yuan Hui looked at Lu Ze, who was resting with his eyes closed, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "Sleeping in my class, Yuan Hui's class, is that fun?

"Lu Ze, a piece of trash with a genetic sense of only 50.1, will probably never understand what a threat a 12-star typhoon-level threat is like."

"You're like an ant, not even close to the sky from the bottom of a well."

"I, Yuan Hui, have never looked down on kids from the red and brown zones, but you're an exception. I'll give you a brilliant E in your high school career assessment, and I hope you'll still be smiling a month from now."

A mocking glint flashed in Yuan Hui's eyes as he brought up the projection on his wristband and tapped it a few times.

A bright red "E-level" symbol was prominently displayed on Lu Ze's sunny portrait.

The projection disappeared, and Yuan Hui sneered.

This penniless guy, who can't even afford the teacher's fee and has no ability to bring honor to the class in the college entrance examination, is no longer worth wasting resources on higher education institutions. This E-level quota is perfect for making an example of him.

The class erupted in uproar upon hearing the "E grade" rating. For a high school student, this was an extremely serious negative assessment.

In the Age of Fog, the format of China's college entrance examination has been completely transformed. The exam results are now divided into two main categories: practical skills and theoretical knowledge. The practical skills category includes six major components such as explosive power, reflexes, extreme speed, simulated combat, simulated shooting, and simulated tactics. The theoretical knowledge category includes five subjects: combat history, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. All of this is for the continuation of human civilization, and for resisting the terrifying behemoths that constantly emerge from the fog.

而高中校园评价则是高考的加分项，校园评价等级从A到E分别为10分、7.5分、5分、2.5分、0分……

Under normal circumstances, most people will receive at least a B grade, which means that their college entrance examination score will be weighted by 7.5 points.

But now, in front of everyone, the homeroom teacher Yuan Hui gave Lu Ze an E!

This means that Lu Ze's college entrance examination score will be at least 7.5 points lower than everyone else's!

Practical skills: 200 points; theory: 200 points; school evaluation: 10 points; total score for the college entrance examination: 410 points.

Lu Ze's practical skills were already hovering in the lower middle of his grade. Even with excellent theoretical knowledge, he was only at the level to barely get into a B-level university. Now, with the college entrance exam out of a maximum of 410 points, he's already 10 points short before the exam even starts, which means he might not even be able to get into a B-level university!

How cruel this is!

Liang Bo's eyes instantly turned red, and he clenched his fists, roaring, "Yuan Hui!! You're cutting off Aze's path to survival!!"

Lu Ze's home is located on the edge of the city, in the Red Brown Zone, which is filled with violence, poverty, and danger. Only if he is admitted to a college of grade B or above and receives a national comprehensive evaluation bonus will he be able to apply for the right to reside in the Blue Zone, a higher-level fortress.

Only by reaching the Azure Zone can Lu Ze's seriously ill father receive better medical care.

Yuan Hui is now shattering the hopes of Lu Ze's family!

Hearing the roar, Yuan Hui turned around coldly, his eyes like those of a venomous snake landing on Liang Bo's face. "Liang Bo, if you attack a teacher, you will be disqualified from the college entrance examination by the school management committee. For your father's sake, I will not give you an E-level rating this time."

"You—!" Liang Bo's neck veins bulged, and in a fit of rage, he was about to throw a punch.

Screw the E-level rating! You messed with my brother, I'll kill you!

Snapped.

Liang Bo's outstretched hand was stopped by another hand. He turned around in surprise, "Aze?"

Lu Ze opened his eyes, released his grip on Liang Bo's hand, and sighed inwardly.

Genetic sense...

117 years... I've almost forgotten that such a lowly term as "genetic sense" even exists...

"Want to apologize? Too late, your evaluation has already been entered into the system." Yuan Hui smiled sinisterly.

Lu Ze's bright eyes fell on Yuan Hui, as if he were looking at a statue exhibit. He was carefully observing this "gold medal lecturer" who, seven years later, used his students as bait to lure giant beasts when Shangnan Fortress fell.

A second later, Lu Ze's words were like a bomb falling into a powder keg, instantly igniting the entire classroom!

"The wisdom of mortals is like a grain of sand that always dreams of stars."
