If you slap me, the whole world will suffer the same harm.

Meanwhile, on the campus of Hangzhou University.

Li, a sophomore, was getting his food in the cafeteria with his tray, humming a song as he did so.

Suddenly, a surge of heat rushed up from deep within my body, as if someone had poured a pot of boiling water into my veins. My plate fell to the ground with a clatter, and I collapsed into the aisle of the cafeteria.

Just as his classmate next to him was about to laugh at him for his slip of the hand, his own legs went weak, and he collapsed, clutching his stomach.

"What's going on?! (;´Д`)"

Zhang, a junior, was applying a face mask in her dorm room when she suddenly felt every cell in her body throbbing.

The feeling wasn't exactly painful, but it was definitely unpleasant, like someone had stuffed popping candy into the gaps between her bones.

"Ah...!(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

She screamed and fell off the chair, startling her roommate.

Just as his roommate was about to help him up, he also fell down. The two of them lay on the ground facing each other, neither of them able to say a word.

And this kind of situation keeps happening throughout the school.

Keep in mind, that's 1.3 million people, and twice the usual number. Just imagining that scene is terrifying.

Sure enough, cries of agony echoed throughout the entire campus.

The noise was so loud that students were lying on the ground writhing in pain everywhere, from the teaching area to the dormitory area, from the canteen to the gymnasium. The scene was comparable to an apocalyptic movie.

The teachers were frantic, the school clinic was inundated with calls, and the entire security team was mobilized but didn't know where to begin.

"Is the Destroyer Cult back again?! (;´Д`)"

A teacher cried out in alarm.

"Quickly! Notify the principal!"

At that moment, on the lawn outside the teaching building, Long Xiaotian was rolling on the ground clutching his stomach, every cell in his body seemed to be tap dancing.

His physique had been "trained" by Lin Chen during his time at Shimizu High School, so although the feeling of being twice as strong was difficult to endure, he could barely bear it.

But this is not the point.

The point is that he is too familiar with this feeling... Although the intensity this time is different from before, he will never forget the feeling of being forcibly dragged forward, with his muscles and bones growing wildly.

"Lin Chen!!!"

Long Xiaotian lay on the grass, pounding his fists on the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

"Was that you! Lin Chen! You son of a bitch! Did you eat something again?! (╬◣д◢)"

When he shouted this, the students around him were stunned at first, and then they immediately erupted in chaos.

"Lin Chen? Is that the Lin Chen the principal was talking about? (⊙_⊙)"

"Lin Chen, the one who got first place in the survival battle?"

"So it was him who did this! I'm not finished with you! (╯°Д°)╯"

Just as the shouting was about to escalate into a mass riot, Principal Su Changhe arrived.

Su Changhe was drinking tea in his office when he received the news.

Upon hearing the report that "all the students in the school collapsed to the ground and wailed," he immediately dropped his teacup and smashed it into eight pieces.

His first reaction was indeed to think of the World Destroyer Cult, but Long Xiaotian's roar of "Lin Chen" made him instantly understand something.

Without saying a word, the old principal grabbed his cane and ran to the school hospital.

When Su Changhe pushed open the ward door, this was exactly what he saw...

Lin Chen sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, his body drenched in sweat, his skin glowing with a faint silvery-white light.

His muscles twitched irregularly beneath his clothes, his bones made a faint cracking sound, and his whole body resembled a furnace being reforged.

Su Changhe was all too familiar with that aura... It signified a breakthrough in physical constitution.

Su Changhe stood at the door for a full five seconds, stunned.

As a level six ability user, he knew all too well how difficult it was to improve his physique.

His wind-based superpowers have reached the peak of level six, but his physique hasn't even reached the threshold of level one.

The common knowledge in the entire superpower world is that superpowers are easy to cultivate, but physical fitness is difficult to train.

Those who can develop a first-level physique through resources are geniuses one in ten thousand, while this freshman without any special abilities is breaking through to the second level.

But this is not the time for sentimentality.

There were 1.3 million students outside wailing, and as the principal, he had to do something.

Su Changhe turned around and quickly walked out of the ward, went to the broadcasting room, took a deep breath, and pressed the button to broadcast the entire school.

"Attention all teachers and students, I am Principal Su Changhe."

His voice, amplified by loudspeakers throughout the campus, drowned out all the wails.

"I know you are feeling very unwell right now, but please listen to me... This is not an attack, not a tactic of the Destroyer Cult, but an opportunity for you."

On the playground, in the dormitory, in the classroom, the students who were rolling on the ground heard the broadcast, barely stopped wailing, and pricked up their ears to listen.

"What you are feeling now are signs of a physical breakthrough: cells are reorganizing, muscles are strengthening, bones are getting stronger..."

"Your bodies are undergoing a transformative metamorphosis. Guard your mind, grit your teeth, and persevere. Once you get through this, your strength will reach a whole new level. (◣_◢)"

The entire school fell silent for a moment.

Then someone tried to close their eyes and guard their mind as Su Changhe had instructed.

Gradually, one student after another stopped rolling around, gritted their teeth, sat up cross-legged, and endured the hot, itchy, and painful waves, guiding the changes within their bodies.

The wailing subsided, replaced by heavy breathing and occasional muffled groans.

Su Changhe put down the microphone and let out a long breath.

His back was soaked with cold sweat.

He knew he had just told a huge lie... This wasn't the school's arrangement at all; it was clearly that little brat Lin Chen who had stirred up some trouble again.

But at this moment, that's all he could say, and that's what he had to say.

This collective "transformation" lasted for a full day and night.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into Hangzhou University, the entire campus seemed to have been restarted.

A student got up from the dormitory floor, looked down at his hands, clenched his fingers, and stared wide-eyed.

"My power... has increased by at least half! ∑(ﾟДﾟ)"

He tried punching the wall, and the wall dented slightly, but his fist was unharmed.

Keep in mind that he was just a level three ability user with very poor physical condition.

In another dormitory, a girl stood in front of a mirror, looking at her reflection in disbelief.

Her skin was firmer and more radiant than before, and her figure was more upright.

She tried to activate her superpower and found that she had broken through the bottleneck that she had always been stuck on.

"I... I broke through?! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

On the playground, two students are practicing together.

Less than three minutes later, one of them suddenly stopped, his voice trembling with excitement.

"My speed is twice as fast as before! Can you believe it? Twice as fast! ヽ(≧∇≦)ﾉ"

Another person excitedly chimed in, "Your punch was twice as hard! You almost broke my bones!"

Such scenes are playing out all over the campus.
