When class ended, Du Qiangwei and Qilin walked out of the classroom together. The two stunning beauties walking side-by-side drew a wave of wolf whistles. Even though Du Qiangwei had beaten them black and blue just a few days prior, it couldn't stop their admiration for beauty!

When Wei Zitong walked out of the classroom, he received a wave of starry eyes from girls in other classes. This was because Wei Zitong had a very pleasant appearance, and he had been acting like a focused student recently, which had won him a lot of fans.

These were all normal occurrences, and both sides were used to it. However, when Qilin waved at Wei Zitong, the scene immediately became explosive. The boys glared at Wei Zitong, and the girls resented Qilin and Du Qiangwei, who was standing beside her.

Ge Xiaolun and the others were also among the boys who glared at Wei Zitong. Ge Xiaolun, in particular, had been increasingly annoyed with Wei Zitong lately. This was because Du Qiangwei had been intentionally or unintentionally approaching Wei Zitong. Even though they would bicker whenever they met, he was still unhappy. Why didn't Du Qiangwei bicker with him, Ge Xiaolun? Well, it would be even better if they could have a passionate exchange...

Ge Xiaolun, lost in thought, suddenly saw Du Qiangwei shift her gaze over. He momentarily froze, thinking, So beautiful, she's looking at me, she's looking at me!

But Du Qiangwei ignored Ge Xiaolun's dazed stare and said calmly, "Don't forget what you said in the assembly hall a few days ago."

She's actually talking to me first! Ge Xiaolun felt his blood surge, straightened his back, and nodded vigorously, saying, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Zhao Xin and the others looked at Ge Xiaolun as if he were an idiot. To be so passionately enthusiastic about being cannon fodder, Ge Xiaolun was the first!

On the morning of the Goddess's arrival, the Super Seminary's central plaza was bustling with activity, and many students from the regular classes had also come.

"By the way, Xiaolun, are you really going to challenge the Goddess first?" Zhao Xin asked as they walked.

"Yeah!" Ge Xiaolun seemed full of spirit today, speaking with confidence. "This is a man's promise!"

"The question is, does she see you as a man?" Zhao Xin said with some indignation.

"She sees you as cannon fodder!" Cheng Yaowen added. "Hey, look, Qiangwei and Zitong are standing together!"

Ge Xiaolun followed Cheng Yaowen's gaze and saw Wei Zitong standing next to Du Qiangwei and Qilin. The three of them were chatting and laughing, appearing very familiar with each other. This dealt Ge Xiaolun's heart a critical blow of 10,000 damage!

However, Du Qiangwei's occasional glances at him would re-energize him. She's testing me, yes, it must be, Ge Xiaolun thought.

In reality, Du Qiangwei's glances didn't carry that much meaning. She was just talking about Ge Xiaolun with Wei Zitong: "By the way, is it really reliable to have him go first? Won't he chicken out after the first move?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Wei Zitong waved his hand. He knew what the scene would be like when Lena arrived. Perhaps, maybe, probably, it would be as he thought...

However, he was still a bit uncertain because the development of the real world had confused him, making him unsure if it was as he imagined. That's why he came to see for himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come at all; he didn't have enough time to read his books, so why would he bother to watch?

Moreover, he knew how awkward it was after Lena's arrival. Those who came to watch were all brutally beaten by Lena, and even the two girls beside him couldn't escape. Perhaps only the students from the regular classes and Ryze the Wanderer would be spared...

Seeing the faint blue light shimmering on the platform in the center of the plaza, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Ryze the Wanderer stood on the platform, waving his arms and speaking with great emotion: "Students, this will be a summoning class, demonstrating to you what natural science integrated into our genes is – it is magic!"

Wei Zitong curled his lips. Ryze the Wanderer, that old monster, always liked to be mysterious. It was clearly science, but he insisted on making it seem like magic.

"Are you all ready to have your eyes opened? A great goddess, as dazzling as the scorching sun, is about to blind you all!" Ryze the Wanderer said, causing quite a bit of fear among the students from the regular classes. Even Wuji Yi took a few steps back in fear.

"She is real, and beyond your imagination, beyond your cognition..." Ryze the Wanderer was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and wanted to raise his voice further to build atmosphere. However, when his voice reached its peak, he choked, his eyes wide open but unable to speak.

After a moment, he recovered, shook his head awkwardly, and said, "Uh... Goddess..."

"Tsk!" Wei Zitong burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Qilin, who had also been infected by the atmosphere and was a bit worried, turned to ask when she saw Wei Zitong laughing.

"He's laughing because Teacher Liu is a clown!" Du Qiangwei also said speechlessly. She knew Ryze the Wanderer and was already accustomed to his exaggerated speaking style, so she wasn't impressed by his emotionally charged atmosphere building.

"It's okay, let's keep watching!" Wei Zitong said with a smile, waving his hand.

At this moment, Wuji Yi nervously stepped forward and asked, "Will, will she hurt us?"

"Theoretically, she will be your class monitor. She will train you and eliminate all the useless trash who can't become heroes!" Ryze the Wanderer said as he surveyed the crowd from the high platform.

This was the key point everyone was concerned about regarding the Goddess's arrival. Even Du Qiangwei, who had been nonchalant, perked up. After getting the answer, everyone's hearts settled down, because everyone in the Super Seminary class felt they were among the more capable ones. Except for a few losers, most of them felt they wouldn't be eliminated.

At the same time, they were also worried that this Goddess might not hold back, just like Du Qiangwei, and make them suffer greatly.

"Any other questions?" Ryze the Wanderer asked.

"No!" everyone replied in unison.

"Very well!" Ryze the Wanderer nodded, turned to face the constantly flashing blue light on the high platform, and began reciting a complex and awkward incantation.

"Tsk, isn't it just a spatial corridor that needs to read sonic wave information? Why make it so fantastical!" Wei Zitong said with some disdain.

"What spatial corridor?" Qilin asked, confused.

"It's probably a spatial technology from Lieyang!" Wei Zitong replied.

"Even I don't know about that. How do you know?" Du Qiangwei was truly incredulous this time.

Wei Zitong wasn't going to tell Du Qiangwei that he knew from watching the Super Seminary anime and fanfiction. At the same time, he had borrowed relevant books from the library to verify it. He tossed the book in his hand into Du Qiangwei's arms and said, "Here, see for yourself!"

Du Qiangwei took the book. Before she could even look at it, a blinding golden light flashed on the scene, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes, and they all cried out in surprise!

Du Qiangwei directly used the book to shield her eyes.

"See it? See it?"

"Can't see clearly!"

"What does it look like?"

The crowd on the scene buzzed with discussion. Wei Zitong also squinted his eyes in curiosity, trying to get a good look. When he heard the sound of "swishing" water currents, he was immediately delighted.

At the same time, the men let out a series of wolf whistles!

"Wow, so handsome!"

"Roar!"

"That's blindingly obnoxious!"

"..."

Amidst the swirling steam, a graceful upper body was faintly visible, making one's blood boil!

Seeing this, Qilin was speechless and a little angry. When she saw Wei Zitong staring intently, she became even more furious. She raised her hand and slapped the back of his head, "You pervert, don't look! Don't look!"

Wei Zitong covered his head and fled, feeling extremely aggrieved. "So many people are looking, why are you only hitting me?"

As the steam dissipated, the first thing that caught the eye was an ancient wooden bathtub. Moving the gaze upward, there was a pretty face, wrapped in a shower cap, looking panicked.

Wei Zitong estimated that this must be Lena. She looked much prettier than in the anime, and was no less beautiful than Du Qiangwei and Qilin, perhaps even surpassing them in a certain quality!

Amidst the rising and falling howls, Ge Xiaolun snatched a long broom from a nearby cleaner, twirled it a few times, planted it firmly on the ground, and roared with heroic spirit, "I want to be the first to step forward and be cannon fodder!"
