C2 Earth Earth!
"What does one plus one equal?"
Chu Yi's face was tense, and Dakun became nervous too. "Chu, you've only rested for a day, and you've gone silly?"
Smack!
Chu Yi's expression turned fierce. "Just tell me!"
"It equals two!"
Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, good, at least my elementary school knowledge hasn't failed me."
"What happens when hydrogen and oxygen are ignited?"
Under Chu Yi's intense stare, Dakun honestly replied, "Normally, it produces water. But if there's alpha particle interference, there's a 30% chance it could turn into something else, with a 17% chance of another outcome, and 28%..."
Chu Yi couldn't hear the rest; a mournful voice echoed in his mind, "Damn, I'm left with nothing but an elementary school diploma..."
...
Chu Yi, male.
He had stealthily infiltrated the Immortal Demon World, spending five thousand years in the Immortal Demon Temple, cultivating until he finally found his way back home.
Sadly, after all the hardships to return, the longed-for hometown had completely changed...
Wandering aimlessly into the school auditorium alongside Dakun, Chu Yi slumped into his seat, dispirited.
"Chu Yi, Chu Yi!"
Dakun's voice reached him once more.
Chu Yi glanced at Dakun lifelessly. "What is it?"
Dakun looked around cautiously before speaking, "Today, Befuli Middle School is visiting, and the school is taking it very seriously."
Befuli Middle School? Chu Yi was certain he had no memory of such a school. Could it be visitors from America?
In the center of the hall, a portly middle-aged man was making his way to the stage with a beaming smile.
That was Lee Guoqiang, the principal of Seventeenth High School.
Decades of diligent service had been instrumental to the school's success, and Comrade Guoqiang was a key figure in that.
"Cough, cough. Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Teacher Salin, the director from Befuli Middle School, to speak!"
Instantly, the hall erupted with thunderous applause.
Chu Yi couldn't help but stare in awe as the tall figure took the stage. She had flowing golden hair and a face that seemed angelic, adorned with mysterious patterns. Her pointed ears only added to her ethereal beauty. Perhaps "beauty" was an understatement.
Even Chu Yi, the heartthrob of Seventeenth High School, was captivated. As for the other students... well, it's probably best left unsaid.
Comrade Guoqiang watched his students' reactions with a warm, unwavering smile. Aside from the occasional twitch at the corner of his eye, he was the picture of composure.
"I'm thrilled to represent the Gujita Star Domain Federation of the Terran Federation here in Redmarsh, the capital city of the Adirang Region within the Milky Way Star Alliance," she began. "It's an honor to meet all of you."
"On behalf of Bealry Intermediate Academy..."
Gujita Star Domain Federation? Terran Federation of the Milky Way Alliance? Chu Yi's eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Could someone please explain what has happened to my dear hometown? Did I miss Earth joining some interstellar network while I was away?
A thunderous applause snapped Chu Yi out of his reverie. When he looked again, the stage was occupied by a petite loli with a commanding presence.
"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Lala. I'm overjoyed to visit the Green Lotus Saint's home planet, Earth, as an exchange student," she announced.
Her charming, diminutive figure immediately set off a frenzy, with a cacophony of howls echoing through the crowd.
"The Green Lotus Saint has always been my idol. To visit his home planet, Earth, is a great honor for me," she continued, bowing gracefully in an imitation of Earth's ancient customs.
"But..." she paused, "I never imagined that the real Earth would be so different from what I had envisioned."
She scanned the room with an undisguised look of disdain. "You Earthlings are—"
"So very weak..."
In a moment, the auditorium fell into a hushed silence, the previous uproar now a distant memory.
The students at Seventeenth High School gazed at the beautiful little girl, their faces turning beet red.
They felt backward, ignorant, and utterly foolish. So incredibly weak!
It was as if their dignity had been tossed to the ground and trampled over and over again!
Comrade Guoqiang's face darkened. Salin, witnessing the scene, offered an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, Principal Guoqiang. These kids are too pampered. They speak their minds without considering the setting!"
"I'll be sure to give them a stern talking-to when I return!"
Despite his anger, Lee Guoqiang was at a loss for words.
In comparison to their civilization, Earth Civilization was indeed primitive and uninformed...
The little girl looked proudly at the shivering Seventeenth High School students.
"What's wrong? Did I say something incorrect?"
She casually selected a young man from the group of attractive individuals behind her.
"Is he weak or not? You'll only know if you challenge him! This guy is the weakest among our exchange students this time. If anyone can defeat him, I'll retract my earlier statement and offer an apology!"
The Seventeenth High School students exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to proceed.
They were facing a Third Level Civilization, a top-tier institution within an elite federation.
While the Terran Federation had been advancing quickly, it was still merely a First Level Civilization.
In a Third Level Civilization, every aspect, from physical fitness to mental development, is significantly enhanced. A teenager's physical abilities could likely exceed those of an adult from a First Level Civilization.
So, they stood no chance in a fight.
And with college entrance exams looming, any injury could jeopardize their futures.
The little girl's smile widened as she observed the silent students of Seventeenth High School.
Indeed, a First Level Civilization remained just that. Even with the emergence of figures like the Green Lotus Saint, it hadn't altered their inherently timid and feeble nature.
"Since no one's stepping forward, I'll just pick someone myself."
Her large, adorable eyes blinked rapidly.
"You there, it's your turn!"
With her finger pointing gracefully, the little girl singled out one student from the crowd.
"Snap out of it. I'm talking to you – yes, the one who's the most handsome here!"
That girl sure had a way with words.
Chu Yi forced a smile. Just as he was searching for an excuse to bow out, he caught sight of Comrade Guoqiang's glare, filled with a murderous intent.
Well, that settles it. No point in thinking about it anymore.
Chu Yi felt a twinge of regret.
Had he only learned a few tricks at the Immortal Demon Temple, he could've been showing off and reaching the pinnacle of life right now.
Alas, it's too late for regrets.
Chu Yi, filled with a mix of sadness and anger, made his way to the center of the auditorium, stealing a sidelong glance at the young girl.
The heartthrob from Bealry Intermediate Academy was already standing before Chu Yi.
"So, you're my opponent..."
"From Bealry Intermediate Academy's Battle Spirit Ranking, number 97, Dickens."
"Looking forward to your guidance!"
This was their Bealry Intermediate Academy's debut battle, and they needed to make a strong impression.
He, Dickens, with his near-Red level Silver General genetic power, was unbeatable!
Chu Yi was seriously flustered facing the formidable Dickens.
But just as Dickens was about to make his move, Chu Yi had a flash of inspiration. "Wait!"
Dickens paused, taken aback, while Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to fight you; it's just that I'm literally incapable!"
Chu Yi locked eyes with Dickens, his expression unusually solemn.
"Because, I am—"
"A humanities student!"
