"Silence the world and listen to the sound of bones breaking."
It was just the power of two fingers, but they were Lu Ce's two fingers!
The opponent's jaw was instantly crushed, and the entire joint was dislocated! This was to prevent him from shouting or saying anything else.
"Buddy, since you're not in your right mind anyway, I won't hold back..."
A Strength of 10 was already beyond human limits, and now Lu Ce was at 24!
In reality, he had already held back. If he had gone all out, it wouldn't have been a shattered jaw, but a shattered skull.
Boom!
The immense impact, combined with Lu Ce using his fingers to guide the opponent's momentum, caused the mindless foe to slam headfirst into the wall behind him!
Lu Ce also shifted slightly to the side, "dodging" the blow.
Crack, crack...
Bricks shattered, and large chunks of debris flew out. It was unclear whether the opponent possessed such impact force on his own or if Lu Ce's strength had amplified it.
The wall had already developed large cracks, like a spiderweb, and looked on the verge of collapse.
Outside was the campus. Liu Peng's massive body had already collapsed onto the ground, his head smashed forward and exposed.
The man had completely lost consciousness.
The entire process was incredibly swift. The distance between the two was no more than five meters. From the opponent's charge to slamming into the wall took only a second.
Lu Ce had made his move only when the opponent had blocked his view, striking as fast as lightning with no prior indication.
Zhao Jiacheng had also rushed to the scene. After planting his feet, he stared blankly at the sight before him, unsure what to say.
His gaze flickered between Lu Ce and the giant lying on the ground, his mind struggling to process what had happened.
From his perspective, Lu Ce had suddenly provoked the giant, who then charged forward in a frenzy, while Lu Ce remained motionless.
Then, for some reason, Lu Ce had dodged, and the giant had crashed into the wall and passed out.
The entire incident had a strange sense of ease, a stark contrast to the previous tension, creating an eerie absurdity.
He had been furious earlier, and as he rushed over, he had even imagined Lu Ce being severely injured or dead, leaving him responsible for a life.
But now, looking at it, it seemed like nothing happened?
Let alone him, when Liu Peng, transformed into a giant, charged forward, the crowd had gasped. Many were already holding up their phones to take pictures while closing their eyes.
Now, seeing Lu Ce completely unharmed, the crowd fell silent, as if things weren't supposed to have unfolded this way.
"You...?"
Zhao Jiacheng frowned, looking Lu Ce up and down. He observed Lu Ce's current state, which seemed unharmed.
"He crashed into it himself, don't try to frame me, I don't have to take any responsibility, right?" Lu Ce quickly said.
Zhao Jiacheng: ?
"Is that all you're thinking about?" Zhao Jiacheng felt a headache coming on. This kid's thought process seemed a bit off. "Are you okay?"
"Does emotional distress count? I suffered severe emotional damage, can I apply for national compensation?" Lu Ce stated with conviction.
Zhao Jiacheng: ...
"Never mind, I'm glad you're alright."
"However, you shouldn't try to be a hero like this in the future. I heard you decided to lure this crazy guy away alone to protect your classmates."
"You need to pay more attention to your own safety."
Lu Ce: ?
Wait, where did you get that information? What kind of ridiculous misunderstanding is this?
At this moment, another commotion erupted from behind. Cheers burst from the crowd. Many students who had retreated to a safe distance slowly began to gather around.
"Awesome!"
"What kind of reaction is that, comparable to an F1 racer."
"Calm under pressure, my man."
In an instant, there were shouts of praise from those taking photos and uploading short videos.
The dean also hurried over, fussing over Lu Ce with concern. If someone had died today, his career would have been affected.
The crowd even erupted into synchronized applause, making Lu Ce feel like a matador who had successfully performed.
It was quite fitting; the "bull" had also been knocked out.
Seeing the students crowding around, Zhao Jiacheng quickly shouted to stop them, and then teachers began to come out to maintain order.
Soon, a few more people dressed in special uniforms pushed their way through. However, their uniforms were blue.
Then, several people in blue uniforms gathered around Zhao Peng, doing something.
Lu Ce briefly responded to a few people and repeatedly assured the dean that he didn't need to go to the hospital before trying to disappear into the crowd.
Zhao Jiacheng watched Lu Ce's retreating back, his brow furrowed. He suddenly spoke again:
"Wait a moment."
As he spoke, he took out a golden business card from the inner pocket of his uniform jacket.
Lu Ce turned around, and Zhao Jiacheng handed him his business card.
"Here's my card. Take it for now."
"Right now, I have a lot of follow-up matters to handle, and this area is about to be cordoned off. I don't have time to chat with you."
"However, if you think you should contact me, then contact me."
In his last sentence, Zhao Jiacheng emphasized the words "you should," looking directly into Lu Ce's eyes as if he meant something more.
Lu Ce took the business card, put it in his trouser pocket without even looking at it, and then slipped away while acknowledging him.
Zhao Jiacheng didn't say anything further. He turned back to his colleagues and began to handle the emergency.
"Are you okay?" Xie Antong came over and asked quietly. Lu Ce nodded.
Seeing that Lu Ce had successfully escaped, she breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a bit puzzled.
Why did Lu Ce seem so sure he would be fine? Was he that confident in his own abilities? Did he gain an agility-boosting ability in the game?
Why did that strange creature seem to have a "special fondness" for Lu Ce and kept chasing him?
She pushed these questions aside for now, planning to ask them separately later.
Watching the students being evacuated and the cordon being set up, the special department personnel were diligently carrying out their work.
As dusk settled, Zhao Jiacheng let out a long breath and began to recall the day's events.
Everything had happened so suddenly that he was still a bit dazed.
"A high school student who can remain calm in a crisis... that kind of psychological fortitude, combined with his reaction speed."
"Moreover, he never seemed to show any signs of tension or fear..."
He muttered to himself, the student from earlier that day had left a profound impression on him.
In this world, there were only two types of people who didn't panic when faced with trouble: those who were too foolish to understand the situation, and those who had confidence...
"Captain Zhao, the basic inquiries are complete," a female staff member in a blue uniform said as she hurried in, holding several files.
"It's just that the injuries are a bit strange."
"Besides the fractured bone from the impact on the forehead, the other party's jaw, for some reason, was shattered."
