Year 301 of the New Era, October.

Baiyun Second High School, Class 36.

“ Lin Xun!”

Suddenly, a stern voice boomed beside his ear like thunder.

Lin Xun raised his head groggily, the confusion and helplessness from waking up from a dream still lingering on his face.

On the podium, the homeroom teacher, Li Zongren, pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked at Lin Xun with an exasperated gaze. He continued, "There are only a hundred days left until the Gaokao. Instead of studying properly, you're still in the mood to sleep in class?!"

"It's one thing for your martial sciences results to be poor, but your humanities results have also taken a nosedive recently. With your current state, it's doubtful whether you'll be able to pass the Gaokao Second High!"

"…"

Lin Xun lowered his head, rubbing his eyes as he listened to his homeroom teacher's scolding.

He was not angry, nor did he want to defend himself.

It was just as Mr. Li Zongren had said. His martial sciences results were poor, and his humanities results had indeed taken a nosedive in the past month. He even frequently slept in his humanities classes.

As his homeroom teacher, it was only natural for him to be angry.

"I know Sun Li's death was a huge blow to you, but the dead can't come back to life. You've been dispirited for almost a month!

"What's the point of continuing to be dispirited?

You'll only ruin your own future!

If Sun Li knew, he wouldn't want to see you like this, right? "

On the podium, Li Zongren looked at Lin Xun, who was sitting with his head lowered. He suddenly felt sorry for him and consoled him.

Sun Li!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Xun's handsome face suddenly turned ugly.

Sun Li was his good brother, his sworn brother. The two of them had played together since childhood. Although they were not blood-related brothers, their relationship was no worse than that of blood-related brothers.

However, just a month ago, Sun Li died in the mouth of the Catacombs' monsters.

Speaking of the Catacombs' monsters, one had to start from three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago, the world underwent a drastic change. Countless mysterious caves appeared on the ground, and a large number of horrifying monsters of all shapes and sizes surged out. These monsters were extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. They slaughtered towns and cities and fed on humans.

In order to survive, humans fought back. However, firearms had limited damage to these monsters. Even the city-destroying bombs that humans were once proud of could only threaten monsters below Level 4.

In just a few short years, humans were forced to retreat. A large number of cities and towns had fallen, turning into a paradise for the Catacombs monsters.

In order to survive, humans began to look for other ways to fight against the Catacombs monsters.

Perhaps it was because of the appearance of the Catacombs, or perhaps it was because of the great threat of extinction, a certain shackle in the human body had been broken. Individual strength could easily climb to a height that was unimaginable in the past.

As a result, the trend of everyone practicing martial arts began to sweep across the world. Martial arts began to develop at a rapid pace, changing with each passing day.

Even so, after more than three hundred years of development, humans were still at an absolute disadvantage in the battle for survival space with monsters. Almost every day, there would be news of cities falling, and from time to time, some powerful flying monsters would fly into the cities to look for food.

A month ago, a gigantic Black-Gold Feathered Eagle broke into Baiyun County and devoured dozens of people. Sun Li was one of the victims.

"Lin Xun, I know you're upset, but you can't let Sun Li's death affect your future!

"Your martial arts cultivation is average. There's basically no hope for you to get into a martial arts university. Academics are your only way out. You have to think more about your parents. It's not easy for them to work so that you can study …"

Li Zongren continued to persuade him earnestly.

Li Zongren was very fond of Lin Xun as a student.

Lin Xun's academic results were very good. He had always been the first in class and the top three in the year. He was the most promising student in class to get into a top academic university.

However, although Lin Xun's monthly test results were still first in class yesterday, his ranking in the year had dropped to 12th place. He could not help but worry.

"Thank you, Instructor Li. I'll pull myself together!"

Lin Xun took a deep breath and forced himself to pull himself together. He squeezed out a smile and replied to his homeroom teacher.

"Mm, it's good that you've thought it through!"

Li Zongren smiled when he saw that Lin Xun's mental state had improved. He returned to the rostrum with satisfaction and continued with the class.

After school, Lin Xun carried his backpack and walked out of the school gate listlessly.

“ Lin Xun。”

Someone called his name and chased after him from behind, blocking his path.

"Going to Baiyun Internet Cafe to play a few rounds?"

The one who spoke was a little fatty named Zhang Qian. He was a close friend of Lin Xun's in class, but not as close as he was with Sun Li.

Lin Xun shook his head at Zhang Qian's invitation. "No, I'm going to the martial arts school to train later!"

"You're not going to a martial arts university. Why are you going to the martial arts school?

That's not your style!

"Let's go. I'm going to the Platinum rank-advancement competition today. I don't feel confident without a god like you!"

"How about this? As long as you help me advance, I'll pay for your internet fees and snacks today. I'll even give you 100 Star Credits for your hard work!"

Zhang Qian's face was full of flattery. He took out a 100 Dayuan bill from his pocket.

100 Star Credits. That was Lin Xun's living expenses for a week!

It was very tempting!

Lin Xun hesitated for a second but still shook his head. He explained, "I really can't go. I made an appointment with Instructor Lin from West Copper Martial Arts School yesterday. I'm going to train today!

"Also, who said I'm not going to a martial arts university?"

"Are you kidding me? You're going to a martial arts university?"

An exaggerated expression appeared on Zhang Qian's face.

As a classmate, he was naturally aware of Lin Xun's background. His punching strength was less than 200 pounds, his elemental power was around 0.14, and his speed was 9 meters per second. How could a weakling like him say that he was going to a martial arts university?

Moreover, Lin Xun's liberal arts grades were not bad. There was hope for him to enter a top liberal arts university. His future after graduation would not necessarily be worse than some martial arts university graduates.

To suddenly change his mind and enter a martial arts university at this time, was he not neglecting the essentials?

Could it be …

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes. He had already guessed the reason why Lin Xun suddenly decided to enter a martial arts university.

"Alright, you can do it!

I'm going to play games! "

Zhang Qian cheered Lin Xun on and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Lin Xun looked at the little fatty's back as he walked away. He suddenly felt emotional.

If it was a month ago, he would have followed Zhang Qian to the internet cafe without hesitation and turned the place upside down.

However, he was not in the mood now.

Just as his homeroom teacher, Instructor Li, had said, Sun Li's death was a huge blow to him.

The helplessness of watching his good brother being devoured by a monster with his own eyes and not being able to do anything about it pierced Lin Xun's nerves.

If he was a powerful martial artist, would he have been able to save his good brother from the Black-Gold Feathered Eagle?

What would he do if his family encountered the same situation in the future?

In the three days after Sun Li's death, Lin Xun asked himself these two questions all the time. Finally, he came to a conclusion: he had to become a powerful martial artist in order to protect everything he wanted to protect in this turbulent era!

"I'll definitely get into a martial arts university!"

Lin Xun silently clenched his fists.

At that moment, his phone vibrated. Lin Xun took out his phone from his pocket and tapped on the screen.

"Lin Gou, are you there?

I'm Sun Li. I'll reply as soon as I see the message!

Urgent, waiting online! "

Sun Li?

The chat content that popped up on the screen made Lin Xun's expression turn gloomy.

"Who's so bored as to joke in the name of the dead?"

No!

This was indeed Sun Li's chat account!

Looking at the familiar profile picture, Lin Xun was suddenly stunned.

"His account has been hacked?

The hacker wants to use this account to scam money? "

F * ck!

How could he tolerate someone stealing his good brother's account?

Lin Xun was instantly enraged. His fingers quickly typed on his phone, "Son of a b * tch, do you want to die?

How dare you hack my good brother's chat account? "

"Lin Gou …"

"I'm really Sun Li!"

Two more messages popped up on his phone.

'Like hell I'll believe you!'

'If you're really Sun Li, I'll wash my hair upside down!'

Earth Star was just a high-level martial arts revival. It was not the descent of terror. The souls of ordinary people could not be preserved after death.

"Are you going to say that you became a ghost after death and are now trapped in the underworld? V, you bribed a reaper with 500 Star Coins and resurrected on the spot?"

Lin Xun typed sarcastically. He had already guessed the other party's plan.

"Lin Gou, I know it's unbelievable, but I'm really Sun Li!

I think … I've transmigrated! "
