Xia Nuo's mind was filled with the epic romance called Martyrdom for Love, a grand love story he'd dreamed up himself.
He felt he was no longer just a younger brother, but the driving force and witness of this great legend!
For his brother-in-law's noble sacrifice, and his sister's eternal happiness, he would do whatever it took!
"Don't worry, bro-in-law. I've got this!"
Xia Nuo was fired up. He let out a roar, his handsome face full of tragic resolve.
He became a black bolt of lightning that tore through the sky, wrapped in a sacred, unstoppable aura as he charged straight toward the heart of the two destructive storms in the heavens!
But less than three minutes later—
"AAAH! You two crazy women!"
A shrill scream filled with boundless grievance drew closer. The black speck that had charged into the sky came hurtling back at least three times faster than it had gone up, trailing a long plume of black smoke like an out-of-control meteor.
BOOM!
In the very center of the field, the earth let out a pained groan as he smashed into it, leaving a human-shaped crater more than ten meters across and so deep its bottom was nowhere in sight!
A violent shock wave swept up dust and rubble and spread in every direction like a tsunami. The entire ground shuddered.
In the dormitory a kilometer away, all the survivors felt the floor jump beneath their feet. The windowpanes rattled as if a magnitude-seven earthquake had struck.
The onlookers leaning over the dormitory railing all gaped, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.
"D-did I see that right? The new Head Instructor was just showing off, and then he went flying into the sky."
"And then?" a student asked, trembling.
"Then... I think he got... knocked back down."
"Huh?"
The entire dormitory fell silent for several seconds before erupting into a cacophony of whispers.
"I've been alive for thirty years, and I've never seen as many ridiculous things as I've seen this morning!"
"So let me get this straight: the little brother wanted to stand up for his sister, but then his sister and her best friend started fighting over a man. The little brother tried to break it up, and then... the two sisters teamed up and beat him out of the sky? This is way too complicated! My brain's about to melt!"
"Su-goi! Amazing! What exactly did Lord Chu He say to Xia Yao's brother to make him willingly become a living target?"
"Quiet. Just feel the moment! I only want to know one thing: is this brother-in-law... still alive?"
Meanwhile, the Dragon Country livestream was completely obscured by a white waterfall of comments.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, it's awful, but I can't stop laughing!"
"I'm dying! They told you to break up the fight, not to be a target! Well, now you're the only victim of a two-on-one beatdown!"
"God Chu's words really are magic. A few sentences and he'd talked his brother-in-law into the ground!"
"What survival game? This is a Chu He harem sitcom! And it's being livestreamed to the whole world!"
"I declare the brother-in-law this match's one and only comic relief! The more cocky he was on his way in, the louder he hit the ground!"
Countless viewers laughed until they pounded their chests, frantically taking screenshots. The year's best meme had been born.
Just before Xia Nuo hit the ground, Chu He had teleported to safety.
A few seconds later, Xia Nuo climbed out of the crater with his hair sticking up like a weed and dust all over him. He spat out mouthfuls of dirt, then pointed at the sky and cursed furiously.
Chu He ambled over and looked him up and down. In a voice that was both sympathetic and faintly curious, he murmured, "You're both SSS-Class. How are you so weak?"
"Shit!"
Xia Nuo's handsome face flushed red with rage. He looked ready to spit blood.
"I went up there to break up the fight! Those two crazy women thought I was in the way, so they stopped fighting and teamed up to blast me out of the sky! I can handle one of them, but how was I supposed to beat both of them together?"
High above, after a brief "ceasefire," the fight and the argument had continued, and the insults had grown even more vicious.
"Xia Yao! You muscle-brained idiot! What can you do besides relying on brute force?"
Kachi's clear voice was full of venom. With a casual wave of her hand, billions of points of starlight became countless intricate chains of Runes that coiled toward Xia Yao from every direction.
"You flat-chested little twerp! You steal my man and still think you're in the right? If I don't rip that stupid starry dress of yours to shreds today, I'm not Xia Yao!"
Xia Yao's roar rolled like thunder. She ignored the flashy chains completely and conjured a gigantic dark hand that blotted out the sky, swatting at Kachi with brute force, accompanied by a dark slash that swallowed all light.
Kachi nimbly dodged, laughing so hard she could barely stand.
"Ooh, someone's got a temper. Unlike certain people, who cuddled up with a man all night and didn't even get a peep out of him. He and I, though? We had a lovely time."
"Holy shit! When did you come into my room? You were eavesdropping?" Xia Yao's movements abruptly stopped as she shouted in fury.
"From ten at night until three in the morning, I was listening outside your door! My ears nearly fell off, and I didn't hear a thing!" Kachi said with contempt.
"Hmph! No wonder!" Xia Yao sneered. "Chu He and I were having a wonderful time from a little after four until a little after nine. You came too late. I was already asleep!"
"Unforgivable! You monopolized him for five hours! My Little He He can't stay with you. You'll drain him dry sooner or later!" Kachi raged, and the starry storm around her grew even more violent.
Xia Yao: "What do you mean, your Little He He? Chu He is mine! Mine!"
Kachi: "Come on, then! Whoever wins gets Chu He tonight!"
BOOM!
Xia Yao flew into a full-blown rage, and the battle grew even more vicious.
All kinds of vicious, childish insults rang across the campus, accompanied by the aftershocks of energy powerful enough to destroy the heavens and earth.
On the ground, Chu He and Xia Nuo listened, their eyes twitching uncontrollably.
The magnificent epic of "Martyrdom for Love" in Xia Nuo's mind had been shattered by the reality of this catfight.
He began to wonder if he'd been out of his mind just moments ago.
The earth-shattering battle continued until eleven in the morning.
Just then, a suffocating, indescribably terrifying pressure descended without warning, enveloping the entire campus!
The next second, the space above the field rippled violently, like water disturbed by a stone.
A hulking figure appeared out of thin air. Two Multi-armed Monsters stood beside him, carrying several large bags of fragrant ingredients.
It was Xia Yan.
He spotted the enormous crater in the field, the terrifying slash that stretched deep into the distant school building, and the two energy storms in the sky as they clashed, churning the wind and clouds.
His rugged face transformed from shock to fury in an instant.
"What's going on?!"
His roar exploded like thunder from the heavens!
"You little brats! Why are you fighting?!"
