"What are you doing!"

As those utterly calm yet bone-chilling words fell, two figures appeared at the dormitory door.

After washing his face, Gu Chen had run into Tang Wulin, and the two had returned together. The moment they came back, they saw this scene.

"Oh? The two hicks are back?" Seeing them return, Zhou Changxi showed no restraint in his mocking tone. With the two targets of his ridicule present, he even raised his voice.

Gu Chen held back the restless Tang Wulin beside him, then fixed Zhou Changxi with an icy gaze and said word by word, "Pick up every single one of those things, then apologize to Tang Wulin!"

"You two hicks think you can order me around?" Zhou Changxi kicked Tang Wulin's belongings aside, planted his hands on his hips, and looked at Gu Chen with an expression that said, "Hit me, then."

"Others might give you three chances, but I won't. You have only one chance. Last time. Apologize!" Gu Chen had always been rather cold by nature, and now his voice was like ten-thousand-year ice, utterly devoid of emotion.

"Go to hell! You two hicks want me to apologize!" The instant Zhou Changxi finished speaking, the floor shattered beneath him, and Gu Chen vanished from where he stood.

Gu Chen struck out with his palm, unleashing Thousand Jin Giant Strength!

Under that overwhelming pressure, Zhou Changxi almost instinctively tried to release his Martial Soul, but an invisible force suppressed it back into his body. That formless pressure was like Mount Tai. Before him did not seem to stand a person, but an incomparably majestic giant dragon that had fixed its gaze directly upon him!

Boom!

As that palm landed, Zhou Changxi flew backward, smashed through the window, and fell from the second floor to the first amid a shower of wooden planks. Covered in blood, he fainted on the spot.

"Wow! Chen Ge is amazing!" Tang Wulin looked at Gu Chen, who either did nothing or stunned everyone with a single move, and the worship in his eyes seemed to turn into little stars.

"What? You want to give it a try too?" Gu Chen's violet-gold eyes shone with a dazzling purple light as he turned to look at Xie Xie, who had witnessed everything.

"..."

Although Xie Xie was quite combative and naturally looked down on others because of his Twin Martial Souls. (He was really just a tsundere!)

He was not an idiot.

Since Gu Chen could one-shot Zhou Changxi, whom Xie Xie could not defeat, he could naturally sweep Xie Xie aside in just a few moves as well.

There was no need to provoke someone like that.

But...

Under Xie Xie's gaze, which plainly looked at him like he was an idiot, Gu Chen directly punched him in the face, then turned and punched Tang Wulin in the face as well.

"Chen Ge! You hit the wrong person!"

Afterward, Director Long took the three of them to the Academic Affairs Office, while Zhou Changxi was carried away on a stretcher.

Whatever needed to be said was said, and whatever compensation needed to be paid was paid. However, neither Gu Chen nor Xie Xie appeared to be short of money.

That night, the three settled into the dormitory, while Zhou Changxi went straight to the hospital on his first day of enrollment.

Gu Chen had not used his full strength in that strike, but it was enough to keep him bedridden for several months.

At the very least, Zhou Changxi would have to recover from his broken ribs before returning.

[The correct time (Eastsea City storyline), location (Eastsea Academy dormitory), and characters (Xie Xie, Tang Wulin) have all been gathered. Would you like to sign in?]

"Yes."

[Sign-in successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the [Nuwa Stone]!]

[Five-Colored Stone (Nuwa Stone): Created by Sage Nuwa of the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial World. Originally a Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure, it was refined by the Xiantian Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Cauldron and transformed into a Xiantian Spiritual Treasure. There were originally 36,501 pieces, intended for Heaven Mending. During the Heaven Mending process, a great number of Five-Colored Stones were consumed. However, some were left behind or damaged. This Five-Colored Stone is one of them. Though damaged, its hardness in this plane still far surpasses that of anything else!]

Just as the system's mechanical voice fell silent, a crystal stone emitting an unusual radiance suddenly appeared in Gu Chen's previously empty palm.

The crystal stone shimmered with brilliant, multicolored hues, as enchanting as a dream.

Upon closer inspection, the colors could clearly be distinguished as crimson-gold, blazing sun, pale cyan, dark yellow, and deep blue.

Each of the five colors occupied a separate region of the crystal, their boundaries distinct yet intermingling with one another.

The element represented by each color possessed its own unique texture and luster, making the entire crystal resemble a meticulously crafted work of art.

Even more astonishingly, the crystals of those five different elements had been perfectly embedded together in an exquisitely intricate manner, forming a seamless whole.

The entire stone looked like a dazzling, translucent crystal, radiating a mesmerizing glow.

Upon carefully observing this mysterious Five-Colored Stone, one could sense that it seemed to contain the profound and unfathomable principles of the Five Elements.

Those five colors seemed to symbolize the most fundamental elemental forces of heaven and earth. They intertwined, generated and restrained one another, jointly forming a vast and mysterious tapestry.

Within those seemingly simple changes of the Five Elements lay the ultimate principles of yin and yang, heaven and earth. Boundless life force had been ingeniously sealed within it, and would not easily dissipate even when exposed to the air.

The moment Gu Chen merely held the Five-Colored Stone in his hand, he immediately felt a wondrous power flow into his body through his palm.

In an instant, the Soul Power that had been slowly circulating within him sped up abruptly, like flames being ignited.

At the same time, the energy from the Five-Colored Stone moved like a nimble spirit, drawing forth the vitality within him and causing both his Bloodline Power and Mental Power to gradually strengthen.

The feeling was incomparably comfortable, as though every cell in his body were cheering and greedily absorbing that powerful energy.

Faced with such a miraculous treasure, Gu Chen could not help inwardly marveling, This thing is practically the cheat device every cultivator dreams of!

He fondly played with the Five-Colored Stone in his hand, feeling its cool yet smooth touch.

After a while, Gu Chen asked, "So, what exactly is this thing for?"

[When worn as a pendant or placed nearby, it can accelerate cultivation. As it cannot be destroyed, it can be embedded in the heart. Should the Host encounter a life-or-death crisis, this item can help the Host withstand one fatal calamity and reconstruct the physical body. The Five Elements Qi contained within the Five-Colored Stone can help the reborn Host achieve the effect of destruction followed by renewal!]

[Note: It is recommended that you do not take this Five-Colored Stone out in front of anyone. Its uniqueness is enough to draw anyone into fighting over it! (The system nodded toward a certain God King!)]

"From the Primordial World? Are you sure there isn't any karma attached to it?"
