Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

The entertainment industry in this world is quite similar to that in his previous life.

This "Tomato Novels" app has a great interface.

The operating model and the style of the content both made him feel very familiar with it.

He randomly clicked on a book that was at the top of the bestseller list.

A novel with a remarkably down-to-earth title: "Starting with a Monkey, I Killed My Way Through World of Warcraft".

I selected AI text-to-speech, put one earbud in my ear, and used the other ear to listen to the outside world.

A male voice, brimming with emotion, immediately rang in my ears:

"...In the blink of an eye, a golden light flashed in the monkey's eyes."

"The iron pillar in his hand transformed into a colossal pillar supporting the sky, and he smashed it down upon the world-destroying fire demon!"

"Take this!" Boom—!!! The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked; the sun and moon lost their light.

"That arrogant fire demon, without even uttering a scream, was reduced to ashes by this earth-shattering attack..."

Mmm, this flavor is strong enough.

Chen Xing leaned back in his chair and adjusted to a comfortable position.

My gaze was fixed on the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, while half of my mind was still immersed in the familiar world of the novel.

The imaginative battle descriptions are half-hidden by the instinctive alertness of a martial artist.

The carriage was full of people, mostly students of similar age to him.

Their faces showed excitement about the new environment and anticipation for the future.

They chattered excitedly about their upcoming university life.

It was filled with the hustle and bustle of youth.

Three girls were sitting in the row in front of Chen Xing.

From the moment they boarded the bus, their mouths never stopped.

The voice was clear and crisp, and the topics jumped around.

At first, Chen Xing didn't pay attention, but then he noticed what they were discussing.

It quickly drifted into his ear, the one where he wasn't wearing headphones.

"Hey guys, have you checked Tieba? It exploded again last night!"

"Chen Xing, the national champion in this year's martial arts exam from Shenzhen No. 1 High School, has already garnered over 85 million views on social media!"

"Its popularity surpasses that of the second-place SS-level Ye Wushuang by more than double!"

A girl with a high ponytail.

The seemingly capable-looking girl was excitedly waving her phone screen to show her companion.

"I saw it! Oh my god!"

"ᕑᗢᓫ"

"His official ID photo, and the few profile shots captured by the surveillance cameras during the exam, he's so handsome!"

A girl with round eyes next to her cupped her face in her hands, her eyes seemingly sparkling with tiny stars.

"Official height: 1.87 meters!"

"Look at this blurry screenshot of the fight, those muscle definition, that explosive power... amazing!"

"And he's not just handsome, he's incredibly talented, okay?!"

The third girl spoke, her voice clear and melodious.

Like a wind chime, she has a sweet and lovely appearance.

Her skin was fair, and her eyes curved like crescent moons when she smiled.

"My cousin goes to Shenzhen No. 1 High School. He said everyone at his school now calls Chen Xing 'Brother Xing,' they idolize him!"

"During the martial arts exam, he almost single-handedly cleared out exam room 001, and even managed to solo kill a mid-tier third-level Shadow Leopard!"

"His score is a full 26 points higher than Ye Wushuang, who is in second place! That's an SS-level player!"

The girl with the ponytail nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, yes! I heard that he only awakened a few days ago, but he has already rushed from the first realm to the peak of the second realm."

"I really wish I could get into Shenzhen Martial Arts University; maybe then I could catch a glimpse of the real person!"

"Aren't we just going to Wuhan University in Shenzhen to register?"

The girl with crescent-shaped eyes looked even brighter, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous light.

"Even though we're just regular students, what if—I mean, what if—we bump into each other on campus?"

"I'm definitely going to muster up the courage to ask for a photo! My best friend will be so jealous!"

"Dream on!"

The short-haired girl smiled and poked her head.

"They're special recruits with SS+ level treatment, so they must live in a separate villa area or advanced training area."

"They are always accompanied by mentors and experts, something that ordinary students like us can't easily encounter."

"But... you still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"

The three girls exchanged a smile.

They started whispering again about the college Chen Xing might attend, his favorite foods, and his hobbies...

The richness of his imagination made Chen Xing, who was forced to listen in from the back row, twitch his eyelids.

"Do you think... with someone as outstanding as him, he might already have a girlfriend?"

The short-haired girl suddenly lowered her voice and asked mysteriously.

"Definitely not!"

The girl with crescent-shaped eyes answered immediately and decisively, her little face clearly saying, "I understand."

"A genius of this caliber must be focused on cultivation and becoming stronger; they wouldn't have time for romance!"

"My cousin said that quite a few girls at his school used to have a crush on him."

"But he always keeps to himself. Except when he's teaming up with Lin Moyan and Xia Qingyun, who are both S-rank, he basically doesn't talk to girls."

"I know Lin Moyan! The other S-rank, the 'Swan Song Qin Demon,' is super handsome too!"

"Xia Qingyun... isn't she that S-class goddess from the ink-wash painting style? She's incredibly beautiful!"

Girls with ponytails know them all by heart.

"So, even being in a good position doesn't work, let alone us."

The short-haired girl sighed, then her eyes lit up again.

"But if I could be his girlfriend... oh my god, that would be so wonderful!"

"Handsome and strong, he'll definitely be one of the top human warriors in the future. I feel incredibly safe just thinking about it..."

"Stop! Stop dreaming!"

The girl with crescent-shaped eyes interrupted her with a smile, but a blush also rose on her own face.

"However... if there were a chance to get to know each other, even just to exchange a few words..."

……

In the back row, Chen Xing silently pulled his mask up even higher.

It almost covered his eyes, and he pressed the brim of the baseball cap down hard.

It completely blocked most of his face.

He shifted his body slightly toward the window, trying to further conceal himself with the shadow of the window frame.

This scene...this dialogue...

The atmosphere that hits you right in the face...

It made him feel as if he had returned to a past life, to an airport or an event.

Seeing the scene of those enthusiastic fans surrounding celebrities and discussing gossip.

However, this time, the object of her fantasy inexplicably became herself.

"Fan economy...idol culture...I never thought I'd encounter this again after time travel, especially in this form."

Chen Xing found it amusing.

He quietly turned up the volume of the AI ​​reading in his headphones.

The attempt was made to depict "that mischievous monkey destroying the Demon King's city with a single blow, carrying the Heaven-Opening Cudgel, riding on a seven-colored cloud, laughing loudly to the heavens: 'Who else—!'"

The passionate storyline was used to cover up the increasingly unrestrained imaginations of the girls in the front row.
