Goddess Arrives

The school's handling of Du Qiangwei's situation was very vague. They only gave her a demerit, without specifying any concrete consequences or impacting her studies. She continued attending classes and training as usual, and the teachers' favoritism towards her remained unchanged.

Wei Zitong had already anticipated the school's approach of making a big fuss but achieving little. He knew Du Qiangwei better than anyone. The school was essentially using her to scout for talent and eliminate the weak. Why would they actually punish her? The mild punishment was merely a formality due to pressure from the families of the students who had been eliminated.

Wei Zitong didn't have time to bother with these trivial matters. His biggest task now was to absorb energy. After realizing the consequences of his energy deficiency during his spar with Du Qiangwei, he had begun replenishing his energy almost frantically.

While Dark Energy and Void Energy were difficult to acquire, Light Energy and Bio-energy were not.

Every day, he would diligently "enjoy" sunbathing during the hottest part of the afternoon, sweating profusely. He also ate a lot of high-protein, high-calorie foods until he was stuffed.

However, the results were not very significant. His energy recovery speed remained the same as before.

Meanwhile, during his free time these past few days, he had been catching up on physics knowledge.

He was particularly focused on Micro Wormhole Transport Technology, as it was the most urgent. He knew that their group would soon be receiving custom Dark Alloy Armor, and mastering the basic Micro Wormhole Transport Technology was essential for equipping it.

Next was the knowledge about "Vacuum Zero Point Energy," also known as Void Energy. Wei Zitong understood that in the world of Super Seminary, the void was an extremely powerful and terrifying existence, feared even by Karl, who studied it himself.

He was shocked by what he read. Vacuum Zero Point Energy was a massive source of primordial energy contained within the vacuum, as predicted by quantum mechanics. It existed even at absolute zero, hence the term "zero-point energy." The key was that it was generated by the instantaneous fluctuations of vacuum energy tides in the universe. In more advanced civilizations' physics experiments, the energy produced by these fluctuations could rival the total energy generated by the entire universe in an instant. It could, on a small scale, subvert the law of conservation of energy, as well as the law of conservation of dark transformation!

Was this why the void was so powerful? Was this also the source of the "Galaxy Power" gene model's ability to subvert the law of conservation of energy?

No, it wasn't that simple. If it were, the "Galaxy Power" gene would have been deciphered long ago. The deeper one delved into physics, the less one could rely on simple assumptions. This left Wei Zitong somewhat confused and with a headache!

He was already trying his best to study, spending almost every evening in the library. He even listened intently to Ryze the Wanderer's lectures, but the results were minimal.

Learning was indeed a long and arduous journey. He now envied the Angels' knowledge-sharing system. They didn't have to read so many books; they could just retrieve information. Perhaps, maybe, that was how it worked...

"I can't get distracted!" Realizing he was spacing out, Wei Zitong decisively used his ability on himself. It worked well, and he could focus on his book again.

"I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time in the library lately. What's up? Is there a beautiful girl here?" A clear, cold voice came from across him, startling Wei Zitong, who was engrossed in his book.

Seeing Du Qiangwei sitting opposite him, Wei Zitong rolled his eyes. "Isn't the most beautiful girl in here you? What, can't I come here to read?"

"Tsk, you've changed. Can you even focus on your studies when you cram like this?" Du Qiangwei asked playfully, touching her chin.

"With a beautiful woman like you sitting next to me, how could I possibly focus?" Wei Zitong retorted without mercy and gestured, "Please, our great beauty Du, move somewhere else. Can't you let a classmate read in peace?"

"This library isn't owned by you. I can sit wherever I want!" Du Qiangwei showed no intention of backing down.

"You're right!" Wei Zitong nodded, put away his book, and walked towards the borrowing desk.

"You..." Du Qiangwei's expression soured, and she almost bit her lower lip.

Back in the dormitory, Wei Zitong immediately regretted it. The place reeked of the various smelly socks discarded by the two guys, and they were constantly arguing with the three guys next door. Wei Zitong couldn't help but sigh, "It's easy to fall from grace, but hard to rise again!"

He remembered that in his previous life, when he was in elementary school, he was a top student. But after entering middle school, he was captivated by the dazzling world of the city. Within half a year, he had become one of the worst students in the class, sleeping, playing on his phone, skipping class to go to internet cafes – he did everything except commit crimes. Now, trying to regain his focus and go from a slacker back to a top student, why was it so difficult?

"Hey, Zitong, wanna play some games with Xiaolun and the others? You coming?" Liu Chuang shouted loudly as soon as he saw Wei Zitong enter the dorm.

"Ah, not in the mood!" Wei Zitong sighed and walked to the balcony. Finding it much quieter, he closed the door between the balcony and the bedroom and sat on the balcony to read.

He used several layers of his superpower on himself again, to the point that he didn't notice Du Qiangwei's almost murderous glare from the opposite dorm!

"Hey, Qiangwei, what are you looking at?" Qilin asked curiously as she walked onto the balcony.

"Look at that guy, deliberately going to the balcony to read. What's his deal?" Du Qiangwei asked dismissively.

"Which guy? Huh? Is that him?" Qilin seemed surprised. "Why is he reading?"

"You know him?" Du Qiangwei asked back.

"Of course, I do!" Qilin said. "In Juxia City, on Highland Street, he was fighting on the street with Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun. I was the one who brought him back!" She didn't mention that Wei Zitong had pursued her, mainly because she wasn't too familiar with Du Qiangwei yet and felt a bit awkward about it.

"Oh, I remember now," Du Qiangwei nodded and said. "You were there when I went over that day. You were interrogating Liu Chuang, right?"

"Mhm!" Qilin nodded, looking at the handsome face of the young man engrossed in his book on the balcony of the opposite dorm, momentarily lost in thought.

The next morning, it was still Ryze the Wanderer's lecture. Everyone was drowsy, but Wei Zitong had to force himself to stay alert and be a good student.

At the same time, he felt a sense of unease. He had mentioned a few days ago that Lena would be coming, but Ryze the Wanderer hadn't notified them yet, which made him feel a bit anxious.

According to the original anime plot, Ryze the Wanderer should have announced Lena's arrival on the third day of class. It had been four or five days now, and there was still no news. Could reality be conflicting with the original anime?

He was even more worried that the development of other events might also deviate from the original anime. That would be troublesome. With his current strength, dealing with Du Qiangwei was already difficult, let alone facing King-level existences like Morgana. If the world's timeline also went awry, he could easily be destroyed with just one wrong step!

This was the first time he had zoned out during class. He only snapped back to attention when Ryze the Wanderer announced that the school would summon a god to descend tomorrow!

Ryze the Wanderer pointed at a blurry, golden silhouette on the screen and said, "She will use her divine power to make all the good-for-nothings disappear!"

All the students immediately perked up. The second round of assessment, which had been the talk of the town for the past few days, was finally coming!

"You kids have never seen a real god in your lives, have you?" Ryze the Wanderer said. "Tomorrow, in the school's central plaza, I will perform a spectacular summoning ritual for you to witness a true god!"

"What god?" Qilin had been a bit of a homebody these past few days and hadn't paid much attention to school rumors.

"An alien," Du Qiangwei replied casually, but in her heart, she was already on high alert and a little excited. She also wanted to challenge this so-called "god"!

"Why would an alien come here?" Qilin asked, confused. "Aren't we here to fight aliens?"

"There are good and bad aliens," Du Qiangwei replied. "Many of the Super Genes among us were activated by this alien."

"I see!" Qilin nodded.

Wei Zitong's heart also settled. It seemed the world's development hadn't deviated too much. As long as he was careful, he should be able to achieve his goals before the world underwent major changes.

Thinking about his goals, Wei Zitong felt quite troubled. He could memorize the knowledge, but deeply understanding it was difficult without experimental data. It seemed he would have to find time to visit the academy's advanced laboratories to practice and verify his hypotheses one by one.

"The goddess is coming, I'm a little excited!" Zhao Xin said with a strange grin. "Xiaolun, you have to be the first one to challenge her!"

"Mhm!" Ge Xiaolun grunted with a pained expression, indicating he understood.
