Class finally ended, and Li Su felt a sense of existential doubt.
After all, whether it was Devil Yi or the students present, everyone was incredibly serious—no, "too serious" would be more accurate.
Why was it like this?
"I'm telling you, Old Li, you've got guts. You actually dared to doze off in Devil Yi's class. This is the most important subject—it's about saving your life!!!"
Before he could even open his textbook, a voice cut in.
The voice was very familiar.
He didn't even need to turn his head to know who it was.
Wang Meng, his childhood friend, had been with him from kindergarten all the way through to university graduation.
However, having martial arts novels as a core subject was one thing, but what the hell was this about "saving your life"?
Wang Meng said earnestly, "Old Li, let me give you a piece of advice: now is really not the time to play around. You have to seize every moment to study hard. If you don't understand the situation in that world, forget about seizing opportunities—one careless move and you might just die in there."
"Furthermore, simply becoming a Raider doesn't hold much meaning these days; there are just too many, far too many of them."
"Take the last graduating class, for example; the number reached a staggering million."
"I heard that because of this, the admission cutoff for the Imperial Capital has been raised again for this year's college entrance exam."
"You either need to reach 30% World Resolution or obtain an ability of C- rank or higher."
"It's not just the Imperial Capital; Z University is the same. 25% resolution and a D+ rank ability."
Yang Kai chimed in from the side, his expression looking extremely grave. "The era when you could get into a key university with 20% resolution is long gone."
World Resolution? C+ ability?
What the hell were all these things?
"Sigh, the requirements are getting higher and higher. We're just unlucky that our batch is the one where the gap suddenly widened so much."
"Isn't that the truth?"
"Right now, there are only a dozen or so explorable worlds, and the information released for each is only thirty percent. But that's the overall interpretation, not local. When we go in, we can use at most twenty percent of that information. If you want more, you either have to roam through all the major regions or discover brand-new information. Brand-new information? How could that be easy to find? One wrong move and you might just lose your life in there."
Suddenly, the entire Class 10 became incredibly rowdy, discussing the topic of admission cutoffs.
"Everyone, look! Brother Passerby is streaming on Kuaiyin."
"What???"
"Brother Passerby is streaming again? Oh my god, something big is going to happen."
Everyone was shocked, and many people hurriedly pulled out their phones.
Wang Meng and Yang Kai were no exception.
Li Su was stunned once again. Brother Passerby? Who was that? Did this internet celebrity exist in his previous life?
Unable to resist his curiosity, he nudged Wang Meng's shoulder. Wang Meng turned around, didn't say a word, and held his phone over so Li Su could watch with him.
"Hello everyone, it's me, still me, the Passerby King."
"I'm truly sorry. A while back, because I was streaming the battle between Mo Wuque and Sect Leader Xiao, I didn't expect to be hunted by their subordinates for an entire month, which caused me to miss several streams."
"To show my apologies, I won't waste any more breath. Let's get straight to the point."
"As for the title: The Murong Consortium versus the Mobei Consortium—is Murong Tianxiu's Star Shift truly invincible under heaven, or is Dharma King Tianlun's Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art peerless in the world???"
"Hiss, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!"
"Last time it was the Yi Hua Jade-Transferring Technique against the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms; this time it's actually Star Shift against the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art. Brother Passerby is truly worthy of being Brother Passerby!!!"
"Damn, another clash of top-tier powerhouses! I've got goosebumps all over!!!"
In an instant, the classroom exploded.
It wasn't just Class 10; in fact, as the news spread, the entire school erupted.
Soon, after a burst of static, the screen showed a vast grassland.
In the center, two people stood silently.
One was twenty-five or twenty-six, the other fifty-six or fifty-seven.
Murong Tianxiu: "I have long heard of the heaven-shaking power of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art. It is said that there are thirteen levels in total; if one completes the cultivation, they can reach the pinnacle and enter the realm of heaven and man. Among the World Fragments, Jinlun Dharma King, whose talent is no less than Yang Guo's, only reached the tenth level, yet he was already invincible in his time. I wonder how the monk fares?"
Dharma King Tianlun pressed his palms together: "Amitabha. This poor monk is untalented. I began my cultivation at sixteen, and until now, I have only just reached the ninth level. As for that legendary realm, I have no hope of attaining it."
Murong Tianxiu: "Is that so? That is truly a pity. I was hoping to witness the true might of the Dragon and Elephant."
Dharma King Tianlun: "The benefactor need not be disappointed. Although it is only nine dragons and nine elephants, I have yet to meet anyone who could defeat me."
As the words fell, both sides fell silent, and only the wind drifted across the grassland.
Suddenly, Dharma King Tianlun raised his hand. The Dragon and Elephant surged into the sky, terrifying power sweeping across the heavens and earth. The violent dragon and the ferocious elephant let out an earth-shattering roar.
ROAR!
"Heaven's Collapse!"
A single dragon could overturn mountains.
One elephant, capable of shattering the earth.
Nine dragons and nine elephants, capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.
With a single strike, the winds and clouds surged in reverse, the earth turned upside down, and the sky seemed as if it were about to collapse.
Facing this terrifying technique, not far away, Murong Tianxiu remained calm and unhurried, merely raising his palm.
In an instant, the world lost its color, the universe inverted, and countless stars emerged.
It was the peerless art, Star Shift!
As the divine art manifested, the surging stars coiled in an instant. Dharma King Tianlun's nine dragons and nine elephants, carrying the momentum of a collapsing sky and the omen of destruction, were actually reflected back by the strike, descending toward their own master.
Dharma King Tianlun laughed, "Good, truly worthy of Star Shift! However, Young Master Tianxiu, how many times can this Star Shift of yours deflect my Dragon-Elephant Art!"
The power did not diminish; the dragons and elephants rose once more.
Two identical forces collided violently.
BOOM!
Rocks shattered, and sand and stone swirled into the air.
Two unprecedented, terrifying forces swept outward in an instant, causing the footage being filmed from miles away to tremble uncontrollably—a truly shocking sight.
Hiss!!
In the classroom, Li Su gasped at the screen.
Is this, for f*ck's sake, martial arts???
Looking at the crumbling earth, the wildly swirling dark clouds, and the terrifying Dragon-Elephant energy in the footage, that power capable of overturning mountains and seas.
You're filming a xianxia and telling me it's martial arts???
The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art has this much power? In the TV series, Yang Guo would have been smashed to death long ago.
Although the distance of the video wasn't specified, a rough estimate placed them at least several hundred meters away, yet the commotion between the two directly affected a radius of a hundred meters—a diameter, mind you! Even a small missile wouldn't have this much lethality. If the Yang Guo in the novels were this strong, why would the Mongol army even bother attacking? If he and Jinlun Dharma King fought for a while, those hundreds of thousands of Mongol soldiers would probably collapse instantly!
If Star Shift and the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art are like this, is the Six Meridians Divine Sword planning to pierce the clouds and shatter the void? Killing enemies from a hundred miles away?
Apologize to the martial arts genre, you bastards.
Wang Meng couldn't help but say, "As expected of a Level 7 Raider, truly terrifying!!!"
Level 7 Raider?
Li Su couldn't help but glance at Wang Meng. What the hell is that?
Watching the people around him, all shocked and filled with envy, Li Su felt a sense of urgency.
He had to figure it out; no matter what, he had to figure out exactly what was going on in this world!!!
