"Why are you shouting so loudly? This Goddess isn't going to eat you, is she?"
Lena's voice came from above. Wei Zitong opened his eyes in confusion and muttered, "I'm not dead?"
"Of course you're not dead. This Goddess was only testing you, not trying to kill you!" Lena plopped down onto Wei Zitong's shoulder.
Wei Zitong felt his shoulder sink slightly. Then a woman's uniquely sweet, soft scent drifted over, making him lose focus for a moment.
The boys stared wide-eyed at how intimately Lena was acting with Wei Zitong, while the girls covered their faces.
Ge Xiaolun was the only boy without any envy, jealousy, or resentment on his face, because Du Qiangwei was in his arms. Du Qiangwei, who had recovered quite a bit through Deno 3's remote treatment, saw Lena sitting directly on Wei Zitong's shoulder. Her expression immediately darkened. She broke free from Ge Xiaolun's embrace and limped toward Qilin.
"I've heard lots of girls say you're their Prince Charming. I was curious, though. Is Prince Charming a person or a horse? Can you ride him?" Lena asked, grabbing Wei Zitong's head.
"Prince Charming is just a metaphor..." Wei Zitong's face darkened. "It refers to an ideal male partner..."
"Oh!" Lena nodded and said with a smile, "Then you should be a white horse and let this Goddess ride you. Hahahaha, I'm a God!"
Wei Zitong's face darkened further. Lena wanted to treat him like livestock. It wasn't as if he ate grass...
Grass? That's right. Wei Zitong's heart stirred, and a suicidal impulse suddenly rose within him. With a wicked grin, he said, "There's an old saying in Huaxia, right? Oh, that's it: 'If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass!'"
"Hahahaha, since you're this Goddess's white horse, of course I'll give you grass!" Lena laughed loudly, failing to catch the hidden meaning.
"Damn it, I want to be a horse too! I want to be a horse too!" Zhao Xin immediately understood and shouted excitedly. "Goddess, please give me this chance!"
The other boys instantly understood as well, clamoring to become the Goddess's white horse, black horse, red horse—some even brought up Ferghana horses and Red Hare horses!
"Shameless. Perverted!" Qilin spat and glared viciously at Wei Zitong.
Seeing so many boys shouting and the strange reactions from the girls, Lena finally sensed something was off. She knew she had only just arrived in Huaxia and did not understand Huaxian culture very well, so she turned an inquisitive gaze toward Qilin.
Qilin was too embarrassed to answer, staying silent. Du Qiangwei, standing nearby, said, "Blowing him up can't go wrong! One blast, one kill!"
"Don't listen to her..." Wei Zitong finally felt some lingering fear. He had not expected Du Qiangwei to be so ruthless, opening her mouth and telling Lena to blow him up. Catching her earlier had been a total waste. I should've let her fall flat on her face!
Before he could finish speaking, his body was sent flying with a booming explosion. He had prepared for it, casting an "Indestructible" buff on himself beforehand, but he had not expected Lena to trust Du Qiangwei unconditionally this time and hit so hard. With one strike, she shattered his buff. He felt as though his internal organs were about to rupture, while his clothes and pants were blasted into scraps that filled the air!
Before he even hit the ground, Wei Zitong cast another invisibility buff on himself. Being stark naked was far too embarrassing!
Using the force of the explosion, Lena went straight to where she had left her coat and put it on. After all, her appearance was somewhat improper after that blast. Her body was a Divine Body, but her clothes were not armor and could not withstand that kind of explosion!
"Hahahahaha!" Seeing Wei Zitong's miserable state, the boys finally felt psychologically balanced. At least they still had something to cover themselves with, while Wei Zitong had been blown completely bare. Even though he turned invisible quickly, the boys who had been watching Lena all saw it.
"What are you laughing at?" Lena snapped, kicking Cheng Yaowen, who was laughing so hard he could barely breathe, to the ground. "You useless lot have the nerve to laugh at him? At least he forced this Goddess to use ten percent of her strength. What are you worth?"
No one could laugh anymore. Lena planted her foot on Cheng Yaowen's shoulder and said, "Super Seminary, Super Seminary... Looking at you like this, I really don't know why this place is called the Super Seminary. What am I? A God! To surpass God means to surpass me! Can you do that? If you can't, then you've failed your test!"
"What? What happens if we fail?" Liu Chuang hurriedly asked.
"What happens?" Lena pointed at the medical staff and stretchers. "You get carried away like that useless bunch earlier!"
Cheng Yaowen was deeply displeased by Lena's contemptuous attitude. Gritting his teeth, he tried to get up and said, "What if we truly have the potential to surpass God?"
"If even one of you shows some potential to surpass God, this Goddess will consider all of you qualified!" Lena waved a hand and declared grandly.
"Then let me get up first!" Cheng Yaowen said.
"Oh, alright!" Lena removed her foot from Cheng Yaowen's shoulder and stepped back several paces.
Cheng Yaowen gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet. At the same time, a sudden rumble erupted by Lena's feet, sending shattered stone and dirt flying and startling her.
"I'm afraid the destructive power might be too great!" Cheng Yaowen said, lowering his head before glaring up at Lena.
"How great could it be?" Lena said dismissively.
Another rumble sounded, and dirt and rocks flew everywhere, frightening Zhao Xin so badly that he fell onto his butt.
"This place was built so nicely! What if public property gets damaged?" Cheng Yaowen asked again.
"It's fine, I'll pay for it!" Lena tilted her head and answered carelessly. She still did not believe Cheng Yaowen, whom she had beaten up earlier, could cause much destruction. As long as it did not exceed a thousand, she would not need to pay anyway. Even if she did, she had... Lena looked around but could not find Wei Zitong. Only then did she realize that her Micro Solar Flare had blasted him away!
"Good, you said it!" Cheng Yaowen suddenly let out a sinister laugh, as if his scheme had succeeded. Then he spread his arms and unleashed an inhuman roar!
As Cheng Yaowen roared, the concrete ground began cracking inch by inch, erupting with thunderous booms!
Everyone scattered in every direction, dodging the exploding dirt and rocks bursting from the ground without warning!
"I, Cheng Yaowen, swear in the name of the Light Shield family—Aaaaaargh!" Cheng Yaowen roared at the sky. The ground began to split apart completely, and a massive black shadow slowly rose from the earth amid rumbling that resembled an earthquake and an overwhelming aura!
"Mommy, the sky is falling and the earth is splitting!" Zhao Xin was knocked to the ground again by the terrifying pressure, then another rumble beneath him scared him out of his wits!
Wei Zitong was still getting dressed in the dormitory. Hearing such a huge commotion, he did not have time to worry about anything else. He pulled on his pants, shoes, and a tank top before rushing outside, only to witness this earth-shattering scene!
Cheng Yaowen had finally dared to take that step. He had finally crossed the hurdle in his heart. From then on, he would no longer be burdened by the past, and his strength would soar. He would become the true Heart of Earth!
But was it really okay for him to do this in such a densely built Dormitory Area? Seeing the ordinary-class students rushing out of the dormitories in panic, Wei Zitong felt worried and immediately moved farther away from the dorm buildings!
Watching the enormous black shadow steadily rise, Wei Zitong gradually lifted his head and gazed up at this miraculous display of immense power. Only after the shadow rose higher than the fourth floor did it slowly stop.
This was perhaps Cheng Yaowen's current limit. He would continue to grow in the future, until he could create an entire planet!
Wei Zitong approached the colossal thing and rubbed it with his hand. It was made of soil and stone compacted by immense force, with hardness no less than concrete. Its strength depended on the power of the Heart of Earth Gene Model's wielder.
"Hahahahahaha, I succeeded! Hahahaha!" Cheng Yaowen threw back his head, spread his arms, and cried and laughed like a madman. "Father King, I succeeded! Wuwuwuwuwu!"
Wei Zitong quietly gave Cheng Yaowen a thumbs-up. Another top-tier combatant had been born in Xiong Bing Lian. He was also an excellent control and defense fighter; used well, he would be incredibly valuable!
Du Qiangwei silently lowered her proud head. Cheng Yaowen, one of the three losers she had always looked down on, had achieved something like this. She was happy for him, yet also felt somewhat lonely...
Suddenly, a large hand gently patted her shoulder. Du Qiangwei turned and saw Wei Zitong's handsome profile. Warmth immediately welled up in her heart, sweeping away her loneliness. She raised her head again to look at the two massive black shadows, her usual confidence returning!
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Th-this is the Super Seminary!" Liu Chuang cried out repeatedly as he looked at the two statues of dirt and stone, each taller than a four-story building!
"Wow! So big, so big, so big! That's amazing!" Lena exclaimed in amazement as well.
Cheng Yaowen immediately shook off the sorrow of his memories, stood up, and looked at Lena with imposing confidence. "So? What do you think, little Goddess?"
"Mm-hmm, not bad, not bad!" Lena nodded repeatedly. "And then?"
"And then?" Cheng Yaowen said with a sleazy grin. "Pay up!"
Only then did Lena realize she had promised Cheng Yaowen that she would pay for the damage to public property. She immediately cast a pitiful look toward Wei Zitong, who stood beside Du Qiangwei.
Wei Zitong spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. You people already spent all my money!"
