Great Wisdom Has Great Use

"Since we're in the same class, we should die together. You've come at just the right time, Wu Hen!" Zhou Guang grinned wide, his tongue inside looking like the filaments of an insect!

Whether it was a past obsession or he had simply gone insane, it was hard to tell.

One of Zhou Guang's long claws bound the class beauty, Luo Yuying, and he used those insect-like filaments to lick her body, smearing thick, disgusting mucus over her skin.

Luo Yuying had been frightened into a lost, trembling deer, her pupils filled with terror.

She never expected that simply rejecting Zhou Guang's advances would turn him into such a hideous monster.

"Hiss, hiss, isn't the Wu Hen you like here? Why don't you open your eyes and watch closely as I tear Wu Hen limb from limb!" the Insect-Eyed Half-Human Zhou Guang said maniacally.

With that, he tied Luo Yuying to a wall pillar, seemingly intending to finish off Wu Hen before slowly enjoying his prize.

Wu Hen was puzzled. How did he not know that the class beauty, Luo Yuying, had a crush on him?

And she had rejected the good-for-nothing Zhou Guang using her feelings for him as an excuse?

But thinking about it, it made sense.

How many girls in this school were obsessed with him? Even after dropping out, he remained a legend.

Wu Hen held the White Radiance Bow, stepping closer to the silver half-human.

As he approached, Wu Hen kept signaling his best friend to rescue Luo Yuying while he drew the creature's attention.

His best friend didn't disappoint; he grabbed a wooden chair and, while Zhou Guang's attention was fixed on Wu Hen, smashed it directly into the back of the half-human's head!!

After transforming into a half-human, Zhou Guang was like a demon. Who wouldn't be terrified and beg for mercy upon seeing him?

He never imagined that Wang Rui, who had been scared witless, would actually strike the back of his head—and with a fair amount of personal vendetta behind it!

"Holy shit, how do you have the guts to do that???"

Wu Hen was stunned, rushing toward the silver Insect-Eyed Half-Human.

Another second later, and Wang Rui would be the first one torn limb from limb!

Zhou Guang had lost all reason in his rage. He instantly unleashed the Silver Mycelium, which shot toward Wang Rui like steel spikes!!

Fortunately, Wu Hen arrived in time. He fired his White Radiance Bow point-blank, the arrows connecting in rapid succession, rivaling a Gatling gun!

"Swish!! Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!"

In an instant, the head of the half-human Zhou Guang was bristling with white arrows!

With his previous experience, Wu Hen knew the weakness of these Insect-Eyed Half-Humans was their eyes. As long as the insect within the eye socket was killed, these half-humans would vaporize.

However, the creature Zhou Guang had become was clearly of a higher grade. Even after Wu Hen had shot through its entire head, it still hadn't died!

"Swish!!!"

An arm of the Demon Fungus slashed down viciously. The arm had completely evolved into a serrated blade, intent on sawing Wu Hen in half!

Wu Hen's hearing was usually very sharp; generally, he could clearly hear such fierce attacks. However, due to the peculiar nature of the Insect-Eyed Half-Human physique, Wu Hen could only hear the sharp sound of the wind being cut, unable to hear the movement of the creature's body. Naturally, his reaction was a beat slower.

"Xiao Yi, shield!"

With a thought from Wu Hen, a Mystic Silk White Shield rapidly condensed on his left arm!

He raised his arm to block, but the opponent's strength exceeded Wu Hen's expectations.

Wu Hen was forced almost to a half-kneel, the ground beneath him deforming under the pressure!

"Xiao Yi, Qilin Arm!"

Knowing that the bow and arrow no longer held an advantage in close-quarters combat, Wu Hen immediately had the Black Miracle substance transform his weapon.

From his right arm, a large amount of White Radiance Crystal Silk seeped out from Wu Hen's skin. Like ice silkworms or mysterious ice, they rapidly covered his entire arm, extending into a sharp, cold spike at the palm!

Like someone wielding a fencing foil, Wu Hen sidestepped, dodging the massive axe-blade that had suddenly hacked down, and followed up with an upward thrust, piercing directly through his opponent's abdomen!

A large amount of pus flowed out from Zhou Guang's abdomen, but this area was still not the organ where the insect eye resided. Wu Hen had no choice but to retreat rapidly, putting some distance between them...

Where exactly is it hiding! Wu Hen thought to himself.

This guy Zhou Guang had been completely parasitized by the fungus. In its larval form, the insect eye could only reside in the human eye socket, so now Wu Hen had to find the organ where the insect eye was located.

The heart was wrong.

The eye sockets and skull were also wrong.

The stomach was still wrong.

There were so many organs and tissues in a human body; Wu Hen wouldn't be able to pierce his opponent every single time.

"Wu Hen, something is wriggling on the back of his neck!" Just then, Wang Rui shouted, providing Wu Hen with a piece of crucial information.

Wu Hen's eyes lit up!

Good brother, what great insight!

So it was hiding in the back of the neck...

Got it!

Wu Hen glanced up at the rain cover on the corridor, then moved his mind.

"Xiao Yi, grapple to the wall!"

From Wu Hen's shoulder blades, a strand of highly adhesive Mystic Fungal Silk shot out instantly.

This Mystic Fungal Silk acted like a steel cable, pinning itself to the ceiling above the corridor in a split second!

Wu Hen's body vaulted into the air, and he clung to the ceiling like a highly skilled assassin.

"Die!"

After his Spirit Awakening, Wu Hen's physical coordination had become extraordinary. He stomped heavily against the ceiling of the corridor, his agile form diving down for a wall-strike!

Wu Hen's trajectory formed an inverted "V," not only dodging all of the Insect-Eyed Half-Human's frontal slashes but also perfectly circling behind the creature.

"Swish!"

Wu Hen slashed downward, instantly piercing the back of the Insect-Eyed Half-Human's neck!

As the skin and muscle parted, a thumb-sized insect eye was exposed. It was entirely silver-white and already possessed a certain aura of malevolence.

Xiao Yi lived up to its reputation as a gluttonous soul. Without needing Wu Hen to say a word, a phantom appeared at Wu Hen's palm, resembling a Little Witch Dragon that bit down on the plump, silver-white insect eye!

"Argh!!!!!"

With its insect eye consumed, the half-human Zhou Guang let out a beast-like roar. A massive amount of hard fungal matter sprouted from his back, turning him into an enraged hedgehog that thrust toward Wu Hen at close range.

Wu Hen knew that a parasitic insect eye came in pairs. He didn't get greedy for more hits; he leaped back lightly while extending his right hand, letting the Mystic Silk White Shield block the frantic spines!

"Wu Hen, I'm going to chop you into mincemeat!!" Zhou Guang had completely lost his mind. Silver fungal silk spread and grew from every inch of his skin and every pore.

These silver fungal silks caused his body to swell and covered him in tooth-blades. It was impossible to tell how many arms he had anymore. As he swung these fungal blades, Wu Hen felt as if a meat grinder were barreling toward him!

Wu Hen took a deep breath.

If the class beauty Luo Yuying weren't tied to that pillar, Wu Hen would have jumped down from the corridor immediately to avoid the opponent's madness.

But Wu Hen still had a bit of an obsession.

The class beauty Luo Yuying had a crush on him, which meant she had good taste.

Watching someone with such good taste die right in front of him made Wu Hen feel just a tiny bit guilty.

Suddenly, Wu Hen noticed some viscous fluid on Luo Yuying. It was a pale cyan color. Wu Hen remembered that when Yu Yu had shot through those two white larvae, the blood that spilled from their bodies was the same color!

Zhou Guang licked the class beauty earlier, right?

Got it!

The other insect eye was Zhou Guang's stamen-like tongue!

"Xiao Yi, give me the spear!"

Wu Hen calmed down immediately, extending his right hand forward while supporting his wrist with his other hand!

Xiao Yi was also busy at work.

The Black Miracle particles rapidly condensed in the palm of Wu Hen's hand, forming a black Origin Mech Pistol in a very short amount of time!

Wu Hen didn't need to worry about accuracy at all.

It wasn't like it was off anyway.

All he needed was the courage to face this fungal meat grinder head-on!

I'd like to see if my gun is faster, or if your fungus is faster, within seven paces! Wu Hen took a deep breath and let the terrifying meat grinder barrel toward him!

"Bang!!"

A shot erupted, carrying the power of lightning, and fiercely pierced toward the throat of the half-human Zhou Guang!

Even though it was a pistol, its power was no less than an armor-piercing sniper round. Having been nourished, Xiao Yi was clearly more powerful than before.

This Origin Mech bullet hit the moving silver half-human perfectly, passing through his gaping maw and striking Zhou Guang's throat!

In an instant, the area above Zhou Guang's neck exploded, and semi-cyan blood splattered everywhere!

At the same time, the meat grinder-like demonic body began to disintegrate, like a machine that had lost its power and screws. During the disintegration process, those body tissues even began to vaporize.

Wu Hen remained standing where he was, and the fungal worms that had been invading his body slid down to a foot away from his feet due to inertia, where they quickly evaporated!

The vaporized gas blurred Wu Hen's upright figure, but it only served to make his courage more tangible, leaving the class beauty Luo Yuying, who was tied to the wall pillar, completely dumbfounded...

In the classroom, the classmates who had spent two and a half years together were all stunned. The back view of Wu Hen when he dropped out of school had been so lonely, yet at this moment, it was so magnificent and towering.

So, Wu Hen was a Pioneer!

He was a guardian of this world!!

"Wuwuwuwu~~~ Wu Hen, it's so good to have you here!" The girls were teary-eyed, crying in a chorus.

"Wu Hen, does your family need a housekeeper?" The class beauty Luo Yuying had lost her mind; she knew Wu Hen might not look at her, so she simply lowered her status.

"Does your family need a dog? The kind that guards the house!" Seeing the class beauty act this way, some of the boys were even more eager to sign up.

Wu Hen hadn't expected his classmates to have such deep feelings for him.

Considering that this Zhou Guang was likely a smokescreen released by the Insect-Eyed Half-Human organization, Wu Hen didn't have time to catch up with his classmates. After leading them out of the dead-end classroom, Wu Hen met up with his younger sister Yu Yu and hurried toward the Medicine Warehouse.

"Brother Hen, wait for me!" Wang Rui shamelessly followed, insisting on saving the world with Wu Hen.

Although Wang Rui was afraid of death, Wu Hen had a premonition that his occasional bursts of great wisdom could be of great use, so he slowed down a few steps to wait for Wang Rui to catch up.
