Exploding God

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow and turned his head.

The soft sunlight shone on Lin Yunxue's face, making her eyes sparkle. Her delicate collarbone reflected her ivory-white, smooth skin. Whenever one saw her, one couldn't help but savor the little beauty hidden deep in one's heart.

A look of nostalgia flashed in Lu Ze's eyes. In his previous life, he had secretly loved her for seven years, but never had the chance to say a word to her. While she had become the undisputed pride of heaven and the Twelve Flower Queens of the Sea of ​​Mist, he was still struggling on the edge of the mist.

When she finally stepped into the first floor of the Tower of Mist, she heard the news that she had been betrayed by her companions on the seventh floor and had ultimately perished.

She was like a beautiful shooting star, streaking across the night sky and leaving a deep and lasting impression on the young man's heart.

However, neither the past nor the present matters anymore.

Most importantly, the world is still a beautiful place, and you are still standing in front of me.

Therefore, a sunny yet polite smile appeared on the boy's lips.

"Lu Ze".

"Was that you just now?" After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yunxue decided to speak frankly. She felt that the guy in front of her was calmer than his peers, especially the way he looked at her just now, which was actually... relieved?

Why does it look so much like the way a father looks at his own daughter?

She didn't think Lu Ze was being deliberately mysterious; it was just that it was rare to see a member of the opposite sex so calm and even composed when meeting her gaze.

"Shh." Lu Ze held up a finger and said with a smile, "A wise person would never wrong an innocent person."

"That's very impolite of you to treat a girl like that," Lin Yunxue said, frowning.

"To correct you, it was him, the guy next to you who was yelling in pain, who attacked you. So he's the one getting beaten up now, not me."

Lin Yunxue rolled her eyes cutely. This guy in front of her was pretending to be confused when he knew the truth, but he spoke as if it were the truth.

I never expected to discover such interesting classmates at this high school so close to the college entrance exam.

"Standing idly by isn't gentlemanly. Aren't you coming with me to break up the fight?" Lin Yunxue stepped forward, turning her head to speak, a faint fragrance wafting into Lu Ze's nose.

"The strong don't rely on others." Lu Ze grinned, glancing at Liang Bo, who looked like a dazed goose. "Want me a ride?"

what?

Are you calling me?

Liang Bo looked on blankly, his mind now filled with another sentence.

Lin Yunxue actually spoke to Lu Ze... spoke to Lu Ze... spoke...

Liang Bo, who had just regained some consciousness, clutched his heart. Now he began to doubt if all of this was a dream. He must have been under too much pressure lately, otherwise how could he have encountered so many absurd things in a day? Otherwise, how could Lin Yunxue, the number one goddess of Shangnan, talk to someone as taciturn as Lu Ze?

impossible.

This is all fake!

With a loud slap, Liang Bo slapped himself.

Lin Yunxue glanced at him sideways, and the surrounding classmates all gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. How could he attract the attention of the goddess like this?

High, it is high!

Liang Bo followed Lu Ze in a daze, completely unaware of the changes around him.

The two passed each other in that instant. Lu Ze took one last look at Lin Yunxue and found that a kind of excitement, similar to that of a researcher discovering an experimental subject, suddenly flashed in her exquisite eyes.

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

Both sides finally turned to the side.

But at that very moment, a clear second hand ticking sound suddenly appeared deep within Lu Ze's sea of ​​consciousness.

One second it was ticking, the next the sound was slowed and prolonged, and the golden pointer was trembling.

Beep~~~

The cells that had just recovered were once again overwhelmed by a deep sense of fatigue, and a voice that sounded almost like the dying words of an ancestor resurfaced in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ze had already made an analysis in his mind:

[Currently, the body is in a state of passively triggered stellar clock. Inference 1: An unknown force field exists within the body; the radius of this force field requires further testing.]

[Inference 2: Someone attacked me.]

"still!"

The command flashed through his mind, and the golden second hand stopped abruptly.

What can you do in 0.3 seconds? It's just a very short moment, but for Lu Ze, it's enough to take a quick step forward and then calmly turn around.

A frozen world appeared in her field of vision. The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her pupils flashing with a probing light. Her fair arms were raised in the air, and a jade finger playfully curled up, only 5 centimeters away from her forehead.

Lu Ze could already clearly see the delicate lines on the girl's fingertips.

With your elbow nearly fully extended, the maximum distance between your opponent's fingertips is 3 centimeters. This confirms safety.

So... is this a test (or teasing) of me?

A thought flashed through my mind, and a soft "click" sounded in my mind, causing the still golden pointer to loosen.

The stagnant air began to flow again, and whispers rose from people's throats once more. Lin Yunxue's outstretched finger finally extended another 2 centimeters, and the strong airflow it generated scattered the stray hairs on Lu Ze's forehead.

However, the finger that should have been pointing at the back of Lu Ze's head ended up hanging empty in mid-air.

Lin Yunxue narrowed her beautiful eyes. She did not feel disappointed by her failure. Instead, her eyes showed satisfaction at confirming a certain fact.

Her gaze shifted from her fingertips to the boy's brow. "You're very fast."

No one knew that she was even more surprised, because she hadn't seen how Lu Ze moved at all in that brief moment.

Lu Ze calmly said, "Then we should make the most of our strengths."

Lin Yunxue was almost speechless. She frowned and looked at the boy's calm eyes. "I only need to thrust forward 3 centimeters more and you will be seriously injured."

Lu Ze remained calm. "You won't."

"Overconfidence leads to destruction. There's still a lot you don't know. Please learn to be humble and honest," Lin Yunxue said coldly, withdrawing her finger.

However, at that moment, Lu Ze's eyes revealed an extreme depth.

He uttered three words softly, and those three words made Lin Yunxue's heart skip a beat.

"Zijingang".

Seeing the girl's pupils shrink instantly, Lu Ze's lips curled into a smile.

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yunxue's eyes. In her eyes, Lu Ze was originally just an interesting classmate, but now he had risen to a dangerous level because she had not considered Wangbei and Longmu, the two top academies in China. The academy by Zijingang was her only goal for the college entrance examination!

And this goal, even his parents don't know about it yet!

"you……"

"Remember, different levels of understanding lead to different perspectives." Lu Ze's eyes remained unmoved, and he showed no intention of providing further explanation. Instead, he calmly turned and left.

"This time, I forgive your rudeness."

Upon hearing this bombshell, Liang Bo, who had just emerged from his sage state, was thrown into chaos once again. Lu Ze gently patted him on the shoulder, and he followed him out of the campus in a daze.

All around was deathly silent; the crowd felt as if their hearts were being crushed by a giant.

Is this student crazy? How confident is he to dare to directly challenge the "Moonlight White Riders" of Shangnan High School!

That's Lin Yunxue, who truly possesses the strength of a 4-star warrior!

However, Lin Yunxue remained silent until Lu Ze calmly left, only gazing thoughtfully at the boy's departing figure.

[Lu Ze].

Lin Yunxue silently repeated the two words in her heart, then raised her head and looked coldly ahead.

"I'll remember you."

The surrounding crowd stared in surprise at Lin Yunxue, then at the direction Lu Ze had left.

It's okay!

Who exactly was that guy?

……

A hot wind blew outside the gate of Shangnan High School.

Liang Bo jolted awake and looked up abruptly: "Just now..."

"These are all basic operations." Lu Ze smiled gently.

"Huh?" Liang Bo felt like he was standing at the school gate with his mouth wide open, looking exactly like a dumbfounded fathead fish, unable to make any sound except for breathing for survival.

That's all for now, see you tomorrow.

Lu Ze blinked, turned around gracefully, leaving Liang Bo standing there bewildered in the wind.

Forget about basic operations, is today April Fool's Day? Is someone playing a prank on Brother Bo?

……

"Please swipe your card to board, or show your monthly pass."

The light rail doors slowly closed, and Lu Ze looked through the clear windows at the fortress-like university and the huge transparent light shield above his head, his gaze deep and distant.

The light rail's terminus is Ting Lo district, which is where my home is.

In the future, when he travels alone and gazes at the starry sky, what will always come to mind is that warm but dilapidated little home.

A mother wearing an apron, cooking and waiting for him to come home every day; a father who is in poor health but always pretends to be stern despite caring for him deeply; a happy family gathered under the dim light in the evening...

Memories that were thought to be gone forever have finally been given a chance to return to the beginning of the story and to personally salvage everything.

As for Kirihime, that little girl who likes to seamlessly switch between a yandere and aloof demeanor, she is still waiting for him someday in the future. He will appear before her riding on auspicious clouds, just like in the stories the girl once longed for.

Of course, there was also that fleeting image in the long river of his life, which he treasured deep in his heart.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"I'm not waiting for anyone, and no one is coming."

"You've been alone for so long, haven't you thought about going out and seeing the world?"

"What are you going out to do? The starry sky is so big, I'm afraid I'll lose you if I turn around."

Her radiant smile will forever be etched in the deepest recesses of my memory.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Ze's face.

So this time I'll take you away, are you coming or not?

As for all the obstacles encountered along the way, just crush them all.

……

"We've arrived at Tingluo Station."

Lu Ze stood up, looking at the dilapidated city outside the window with a gentle gaze.
