I Came from Another Civilization

After he finished his rampage, the soul inside his body seemed somewhat exhausted, and Fu Junlin seized the chance to reclaim control.

The moment control returned, Fu Junlin felt sharp pain shooting through every part of his body. Too weak to remain standing, he collapsed onto the ground.

"Your body is utterly terrible. You moved around for a little while, and all your muscles are strained! You really are useless."

The soul inside him spoke helplessly.

Fu Junlin was trembling with rage. He wanted badly to drag this bastard out of his body, but that was obviously impossible, so he decided not to argue with it.

Save his strength...

After resting for a moment, Fu Junlin slowly stood up. The pain immediately twisted his face. Enduring the agony, he stored the Gatling gun and sniper rifle in his Mecha Belt, then took out a dagger and began cutting apart the Minotaur's corpse.

A task that should have taken two or three minutes took Fu Junlin a full twenty minutes. Only then did he pull a strand of tissue from the Minotaur's neck, with two blue-glowing flesh spheres hanging from it.

"Yeah!!"

Outside, the mage and Mecha Master from Fu Junlin's squad leaped into the air at the same time.

Even the greatsword captain stared at the scene in disbelief. He could not understand how a War Banner Master had managed to do it.

Finding his badge, Fu Junlin pressed the Return button.

Light flashed, and Fu Junlin appeared within the Teleportation Array.

At the sight of Fu Junlin, hunched over, gasping continuously, and covered in bloodstains, the entire venue fell briefly silent.

Fu Junlin tossed the energy tissue in his hand to the greatsword captain.

He tossed the Mecha Belt to the Mecha Master.

Without saying a word, he shuffled toward the lounge in tiny steps.

Whoosh!~~

The students immediately burst into applause.

A pretty girl came forward to help Fu Junlin, but the instant she touched him, he reacted as if he had been scalded.

"Pain, pain, pain... No need to help me, thanks..."

The crowd parted to make a path for him into the lounge. He desperately needed to set up a Healing Battle Flag there.

He would pay any price!

The students, meanwhile, were all swept up in celebration! They jumped around and embraced one another.

Class Three had been saved!!

Shi Hongyu and the others watched Fu Junlin's retreating figure and could not help falling into thought as well.

Arriving at the lounge, Fu Junlin took out the Healing Battle Flag he had stored in his battle banner pouch and placed his hand on it.

Energy surged within his body. The battle banner hummed as waves of white light radiated from it, treating the soreness throughout Fu Junlin's body.

"What exactly are you?"

Fu Junlin snapped irritably at the voice inside him.

"You can think of me as a life-form from another civilization. My spaceship crashed, and I became lost in space. Who knows how long I drifted around."

"An alien? Are you fucking kidding me? You people promoted Mandarin too?"

Fu Junlin said angrily.

"I read your language. Our language sounds like this... Beep!~~"

As the creature inside him spoke, a burst of piercing sound waves rattled Fu Junlin so badly that his brain felt like it was boiling.

"Stop!!"

He shook his head violently, stopping the fellow's demonstration.

"Believe me now?"

The voice asked teasingly.

Fu Junlin was furious, but he had no choice but to believe it. Even ghosts were only legends, and he had never seen one before.

For now, he could only accept the absurd theory that it was an alien life-form.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"I'll leave once I find a way to do so. Don't worry, I won't harm you.

I'm an expert with 37% of my Gene Lock unlocked! Who would want to stay inside your useless body?"

Fu Junlin frowned. That was probably a term from that civilization, but since the other party had said it would not harm him, he felt slightly more at ease.

"Then what should I call you?"

"My name is Labula Vichidos Dilepeng Bite Dabulinken Aifake!"

"Aifake? That's a bit heavy for my taste..."

Fu Junlin curled his lip and muttered.

"Please conduct yourself properly! Don't be so filthy!"

The voice said in great displeasure.

"That name's a little long. How about I call you Wangcai?"

"Don't try to trick me! You think I don't know? In this place, that's what you call dogs!"

"Then... Big Black?"

"...Emmm, that works. I like names that start with 'Big.' They make people feel earth-shatteringly stunned!"

"If you don't know how to use idioms, could you use them less?"

Fu Junlin said speechlessly.

"I refuse. Idioms are the most entertaining thing about your world. Are you jealous of my talent?"

Big Black sneered.

Fu Junlin bared his teeth, wishing he could bite it to death.

"By the way, what was that Gene Lock you mentioned? Do we have those too?"

"You... Your Gene Lock is only at 3%. Hahaha, where I come from, that counts as congenital infantile paralysis."

"Fuck your paralysis!"

Fu Junlin said through gritted teeth.

"This Gene Lock unlocks a bodily code every time it increases by 5%. For your people, I suppose it would count as unlocking a superpower."

"Bodily code?? So at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%... a bodily code unlocks every 5%?"

Fu Junlin blinked. It was the first time he had heard such information.

"Correct!"

Knock, knock!

Just then, someone knocked on the door. The Mecha Master and mage from his squad then rushed in.

"Junlin, we're heading back to class!"

Both of them were exceptionally excited. This time, Fu Junlin had not only saved Class Three, but also helped them make a fortune.

The Energy Cores from two top-tier BOSSes could sell for around twenty thousand.

"Coming!"

Fu Junlin put away the battle banner and followed the two of them out of the lounge.

Shi Hongyu was leading everyone toward their classroom at the moment, and the three of them quickly caught up.

Flying Cloud Vine School was one of the top ten universities under the Final Blade Federation.

It was undoubtedly a prestigious school, and Fu Junlin had gotten in entirely through his own hard work.

At that moment, numerous classes emerged in orderly lines from the school's various testing zones, following their teachers toward the teaching building.

Without exception, however, every group looked from afar toward Subspecies Class Three, searching through the crowd for the person they had seen on the broadcast.

Class Three had been the last to finish. Once every other broadcast ended, everyone had been forced to watch their class's feed. The entire grade had seen Fu Junlin's personal performance.

Countless different gazes fell upon him.

There was shock, confusion, jealousy, and contempt.

They could not understand how a Subspecies, and a War Banner Master at that, had managed such a heaven-defying feat.

In modern society, humanity was divided into three tiers.

At birth, their genes were tested, and Gene Particles that would follow them for life emerged on their foreheads.

They were divided into Subspecies, Superior Species, and Mighty Species. There was also a Transcendent Species, but those were exceedingly rare.

The entire society was made up of these three types of people.

Subspecies accounted for roughly 60%, Superior Species for 30%, and Mighty Species for only 9.9%. Transcendent Species made up less than 0.1%.

And the reason they were called "species" rather than ranks

was itself proof that these were no longer three tiers, but three races!

Subspecies had only one Gene Particle above their heads, Superior Species had two, and Mighty Species had three.

With every additional Gene Particle came one more basic ability, while the proportion of Passive Energy they could control also increased.

In other words, they became stronger.

Subspecies had only one ability: Physical Enhancement.

Superior Species, on top of Physical Enhancement, could generate energy shields.

Mighty Species, on top of the first two abilities, possessed Ultra-Energy Control! It was an incredibly overpowered ability.

The discrimination suffered by Subspecies was like the discrimination between races based on skin color in a certain European country centuries ago.

They were not allowed to receive an education, nor were they allowed to take jobs that held greater power or wealth.

No social resources were allocated to them, trapping Subspecies in a vicious cycle of growing poorer, becoming more savage, then turning increasingly violent.

In recent years, the situation seemed to have eased somewhat. They were allowed to receive an education, but the space available to them remained severely restricted.

And Fu Junlin had only one Gene Particle. He was a Subspecies.
