Roar!
In the video, a monster nearly fifty meters tall, with an extremely hideous appearance, was wreaking havoc throughout the city.
The towering buildings were as fragile as tofu before the monster. With a casual sweep of its claws, entire buildings fell apart.
Countless people screamed as they fled for their lives.
Then came the sound of something tearing through the air. Several fighter jets roared past and launched missiles at the monster.
Boom! Boom!
Flames soared into the sky, and the explosions were deafening.
Unfortunately, the monster had thick hide and tough flesh. Once the smoke and flames cleared, humanity's proud firepower had failed to leave even a scratch on it.
Instead, it had enraged the monster, causing it to destroy the city even more wantonly and plunging it into an unprecedented disaster.
An atmosphere of panic shrouded the entire city.
A moment later.
A massive transport aircraft arrived above the city.
Then, the transport's hatch opened. A woman stood by the door and simply leaped into the air...
At that moment, the transport aircraft was at least a thousand meters above the ground.
The woman wore only thin clothing and had no safety equipment whatsoever!
Under normal circumstances, even without the monster doing anything, she would have been smashed to pieces by the fall.
Yet something abnormal happened.
A green glow suddenly lit up around the woman, and her fall came to a halt.
Not only that, she was able to fly freely through the air, rapidly closing in on the monster.
Once she got close, the woman raised one slender hand, aimed it at the monster, spread her five fingers, and then clenched them hard!
Bang!
The monster's enormous head seemed to be crushed by an invisible force and exploded instantly.
Dark green blood and chunks of flesh flew everywhere.
Because the monster had died too quickly for its peripheral nerves to react, its headless corpse even took a few more steps forward...
As for the woman, after blowing the monster's head apart, she flew straight back toward the transport aircraft without looking back.
She looked utterly heroic—so cool it was almost unfair!
Only after the woman returned to the transport did the monster's corpse finally collapse with a thunderous crash, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
The video ended there.
After watching the video.
Chen Ye put down his phone and rubbed his brow hard, feeling a headache coming on.
This video was not some special-effects movie. It had really happened yesterday, and it had now become the most searched trending news story online.
"So, what kind of world had I transmigrated into?"
He looked around, calmly taking in his surroundings.
This was clearly a classroom, surrounded by youthful students. He was also wearing the same school uniform as everyone else.
Obviously, after transmigrating, Chen Ye had become a high school student.
Feeling the vitality in his body, Chen Ye was quite satisfied with this new identity.
Before transmigrating, he had been in his late twenties. Not only had he accomplished nothing, but his frequent research into certain teachers' works after they went into porn had seriously depleted his health. Before even reaching thirty, his body had already become terribly weak.
Being able to regain youth and health naturally pleased Chen Ye.
At that moment.
The conversation of several students beside him caught Chen Ye's attention.
"Did you guys watch yesterday's video? Goddess Qin was seriously amazing!"
"Yeah. She killed a Level 4 Monster in seconds. She really is Xia Nation's number one expert."
"It'll soon be our turn to synchronize with hero talents. I'm so nervous!"
"Too bad the hero codenamed S2 is too difficult to synchronize with. So far, Goddess Qin is still the only person in our country to have succeeded..."
"You want S2? Which S-class Hero isn't difficult to synchronize with?"
"My standards aren't high. I'm aiming for an A-class hero talent. As long as I synchronize successfully, I can go to Psychic University. I heard there are lots of girls at Psychic University..."
"A-class isn't high enough for you? You've got some nerve. My goal is a B-class hero talent."
"Why isn't anyone choosing a C-class hero talent? The success rate is nearly one hundred percent!"
"Get lost. C-class Heroes don't have any talents at all. Only an idiot would choose one..."
Chen Ye, sitting beside them, was completely confused.
Just as he was about to take out his phone and search for relevant information online, the teacher suddenly arrived.
Immediately!
All the students sat properly, and the classroom instantly fell silent.
Chen Ye could only put away his phone and pretend to be a husky blending in with a pack of wolves.
The teacher was a middle-aged woman. Though she looked ordinary, she carried the powerful aura of Extinction Master.
The moment she entered, all the students sat upright in fear.
The teacher swept her stern gaze across the students before speaking.
"Students, today is your big day. I believe you are all prepared, and that you already have synchronization targets in mind, right? Next, let me see your choices!"
"Those choosing an S-class Hero as your synchronization target, please raise your hands."
Upon hearing this.
Seven students raised their hands.
At the sight, the teacher immediately frowned.
There were more than eighty students in the class, yet fewer than a tenth had chosen an S-class hero talent...
Chen Ye was not sure whether it was an illusion, but he felt that the teacher on the podium glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.
Chen Ye was baffled.
He had not done anything at all!
After those seven students lowered their hands, the teacher said again, "Those choosing an A-class Hero as your synchronization target, please raise your hands."
This time.
Many more students raised their hands. There were more than thirty of them, nearly half the class.
Seeing this, Chen Ye hurriedly raised his hand as well.
He actually understood nothing. He simply felt that following the crowd could not be wrong.
When the teacher saw that half the class had chosen an A-class Hero as their synchronization target, her expression softened slightly.
"Those choosing a B-class Hero as your synchronization target, please raise your hands."
The remaining half of the students who had not yet raised their hands all did so now.
"Alright," the teacher said. "Put your hands down!"
As for C-class Heroes, the teacher did not even ask.
"Honestly, seeing everyone's choices has left me a little disappointed!"
The teacher said, "This is a key high school. The fact that you were admitted here means that your parents are all outstanding people who successfully synchronized with hero talents. The Academy of Sciences has long researched this: if parents successfully synchronize with hero talents, their children's synchronization success rate is many times higher than that of ordinary people."
"So, there is absolutely no need for you to be so conservative. Set your sights higher!"
The moment she said this, every student showed a surprised expression.
After all, they remembered that the teacher had not said this yesterday...
One student with a bit more courage could not help asking, "But, Teacher, didn't you tell us yesterday to be as conservative as possible? Didn't you say not to aim too high, and that successfully synchronizing with a hero talent was already a victory?"
The teacher's expression did not change. She put on a grave look and said, "Times have changed! I believe everyone knows about what happened yesterday, right? A Level 4 Monster suddenly appeared and breached Hai Bin City's City Defense Wall, causing more than ten thousand casualties! If Ms. Qin had not acted in time and eliminated that monster, the casualty count might have multiplied several times over."
The students all nodded upon hearing this.
One student who seemed to be a fan of Goddess Qin said excitedly, "Teacher, Ms. Qin is truly incredible. My target this time is also the S2 hero talent. I hope I can succeed and become someone like Ms. Qin."
Everyone else looked at him as though he were an idiot.
The success rate for synchronizing with the hero codenamed S2 was less than 0.0001 percent. Where had this guy gotten his confidence?
The teacher on the podium was not in a position to discourage this ambitious student, so she changed the subject. "Students, perhaps you still don't know this, but the Academy of Sciences' latest research states that the sudden appearance of this Level 4 Monster may very likely mean that a new Space-time wormhole is about to open..."
"If that information is true, it means that more terrifying monsters will descend upon Earth in the future. When that happens, the existing forces alone will be unable to deal with them. The country needs more Pillars of the Sea like Ms. Qin!"
