The global live broadcast room exploded!

"Holy crap?! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap?! What the hell did I just see?! An SSS-Class Anomaly blushed?!"

"What the heck, what did that popular girl Anomaly say, 'You are mine'? Did she fall in love after kissing him?"

"Love comes so fast, like a tornado..."

"Dude upstairs, the lyrics are too conservative. This speed is miles ahead of a tornado!"

"This isn't about being brave! This isn't even the same species! This Chosen One from Dragon Country, what kind of devil is he?!"

"My worldview, my life... it's all shattered! So the ultimate weapon against Anomalies is a mouth? Quick! Who has the address of a pretty female Anomaly? I'm going right now! I'm bringing my eight-pack abs mouth!"

The hosts from other countries who were watching Dragon Country's spectacle with amusement had their smiles freeze completely. Their mouths hung open wide enough to fit a fist, and the shock and absurdity in their eyes nearly overflowed the screen.

And in Dragon Country.

The Supreme Command.

The atmosphere was beyond description.

It was an extreme experience, like being suddenly yanked from an endless abyss to the highest heavens in an instant!

General Wang, his hair completely white, carrying the fate of the entire nation on his shoulders, having long ago disregarded life and death.

After hearing the words, "You... are mine."

His body, as solid as rock, suddenly shot up from his chair!

Startling the senior staff behind him.

The old man's eyes, bloodshot from countless sleepless nights, stared intently, intently at the still somewhat bewildered young man on the screen.

His cracked lips trembled violently.

His entire weathered face flushed crimson with extreme excitement, veins bulging!

He wasn't watching a contestant.

He was watching the only light that had torn through the thirty-year endless, frigid night of Dragon Country!

"Good..."

"Good kid!!!"

At the same time.

Chu He, at the center of the storm, finally slowly recovered from that earth-shattering, unconventional kiss.

An indescribable, strange power, cold and vast, like a breached galaxy, surged from the point where their lips met and instantly swept through his limbs and bones! He felt his vision being redefined, every cell cheering and dancing under the nourishment of this power.

A system prompt sounded in his mind!

[Kiss successful! Target is an SSS-Class Anomaly, first kiss, impact rating is MAX!]

[Initial Intimacy +20!, Current Intimacy: Familiar]

[Intimacy Levels: Stranger -> Familiar -> Dependent -> Infatuated -> Deep Love -> The One]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the exclusive ability of the SSS-Class Anomaly "Xia Yao" - Eye of Nirvana!]

[Eye of Nirvana (Primary): When making eye contact with a target, it can cause mental deterrence and temporary paralysis to Anomalies of SSS-Class and below. It can easily eliminate Anomalies below SS-Class. Note: The strength of this ability is directly linked to Xia Yao's intimacy with the target. The higher the intimacy, the stronger the ability and the higher the level of target it can affect!]

[Usage Technique: Mental Visualization]

Chu He's heart trembled violently upon hearing the system's announcement.

Eye of Nirvana!

This was no mere flashy support ability, but a divine skill that directly wiped out Anomalies based on their class!

In the world of Anomalies, there was a strict hierarchy. From the lowest D-Class to SSS-Class, which could warp reality and form its own domain, each level was a chasm.

And A-Class was practically the limit humans could fight against in the past!

As for SSS-Class... they were mobile disasters, and in a sense, could be the rules themselves.

Anomalies of S-Class and above could set rules, and lesser Anomalies had to obey the rules of greater Anomalies.

After so many years, it was still unknown if there were existences above SSS-Class!

But without a doubt, there must be, because even SSS-Class Anomalies couldn't kill people arbitrarily without reason!

But based on this alone, one could conclude their existence, though they hadn't appeared yet!

Now, he could deter Anomalies below SSS-Class, and even directly eliminate S-Class, with just a look?

This ability was unreasonably powerful!

Just as his mind was in turmoil, a cool scent, tinged with a hint of girlish fragrance, approached him again.

Xia Yao, who had taken half a step back, actually moved forward again, almost clinging to him.

The distance was too close.

So close that Chu He could clearly see the fine fuzz on her blushing cheeks and her long eyelashes, trembling like butterfly wings.

The unresolvable shyness and bewilderment in her eyes were now wildly intertwined with a new, overbearing, and unreasonable possessiveness.

She looked both innocent and extremely dangerous.

The global livestream audience was stunned.

"She, she just attached herself? Are anomalies this proactive?"

"The Eagle Country player is still figuring out how to pass the first stage, and the Dragon Country player is already starting a romance? Does that make any sense!"

"Why do I feel like... the art style suddenly got weird? Is this still a survival game?"

In the Dragon Country command center, General Wang had just sat down when he saw this scene. He almost stood up again. The young staff officer next to him couldn't help but mutter, "General, this... is good news, right?"

General Wang's mouth twitched, his expression complicated. After a long pause, he managed to say, "Good, very good! It's just... a little too good."

In General Wang's opinion, an SSS-Class anomaly was far too dangerous. Getting too close to them, even slightly, could result in instant annihilation.

He worried about what would happen after the honeymoon phase of their relationship passed and she grew tired of him.

On the training ground, under the gaze of billions, Xia Yao slowly raised her hand.

Her pale fingertip, capable of easily tearing through space and obliterating life, trembled with unfamiliar, clumsy hesitation as it lightly touched Chu He's cheek.

It was bone-chillingly cold.

Chu He shivered all over but didn't dare to move.

He knew very well that he was now stuck with a walking nuclear bomb, one with self-awareness and intense possessiveness.

He was also amazed by the power of this "Kiss of the Bewitching Ghost," which far exceeded his imagination.

He wondered if this thing would work on male anomalies...

Chu He pushed away the terrifying thought, not daring to dwell on it.

Just as the entire audience of players was flustered by this bizarre display of "public affection," a cold system notification echoed through the campus once more, breaking the delicate atmosphere:

[All Chosen Ones, please note: The instance "Horror University" has officially begun. Please strictly adhere to the following School Rules.]

[School Rule 1: All students must choose a dormitory within one hour. Those who have not chosen after the countdown will be annihilated.]

[School Rule 2: Dormitories are strictly segregated by gender. Male students must enter the male dormitory, and female students must do the same. Unauthorized entry into the opposite gender's dormitory will result in annihilation.]

[School Rule 3: Each dormitory door has a welcome test. Upon confirming your choice, press the red button to begin immediately. The time limit inside is two hours. Those unable to pass the test will be annihilated.]

These three school rules, like three death warrants, made the players, who had just caught their breath, feel their scalps tingle again!

"Move! Hurry up and move! To the dormitories!"

"Damn it, there's an exam too!"

The crowd instantly erupted, and everyone, like headless flies, rushed towards the two distant dormitory buildings in a panic.

However, Chu He couldn't move a single step.

He looked down at Xia Yao, who was tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, even hugging him tighter with her arm as if afraid he would run away.

He then looked up at the building in the distance, which bore a "Male Dormitory" sign and was currently being swarmed by a large number of male players.

Chu He's face turned green.

She was just too clingy!

He tried to use a pleading tone, cautiously saying to Xia Yao, "Um... Classmate Xia? You see, the school rules say I have to go to the male dormitory. How about... you let go first?"

But upon hearing the word "let go," a cold chill instantly washed over Xia Yao.

She tightened her grip on Chu He's arm.

"You're coming with me."
