Memories of the past flooded his mind, and York was a little dazed.Elementary school.“Daddy, Mommy! I’m the class monitor!”On this day, York, who was only six years old, returned home with his school bag and excitedly shared his joy with his parents.His mother gently took the bag and rubbed York’s head.”Baby is awesome!”“Mom, don’t call me Baby anymore!” York said shyly. I’m the class monitor now, so I need to be more dignified.”His parents burst into laughter.“Prestige?”His father picked up Xiao York and placed him on his lap. He asked, ‘”‘Then, son, what do you think a class monitor is?”“The class monitor is the most outstanding person in the class! The best child! My classmates are so envious of me!”“Yes, the most outstanding person and the best child. That’s true, but not all of them.” Class monitor,” his father said,” means responsibility. Do you know what responsibility it is?”“I know! Collect your homework!”“Yes, but not all of them.”“For example, when a classmate
Draken was using the Iron Palm to cook. Perhaps because the ingredients were too high-grade, it was difficult to cook them quickly with the current level of the Iron Palm.Therefore, perhaps it was because of the stimulation of this kind of aura that the proficiency of Draken’s Iron Palm increased rapidly, and it had already reached the level of perfection. His palms were extremely black, black to the extreme, and even slightly white, like, black to the point of shining.As his mastery of the skill increased, Draken’s Iron Palm was still slowly approaching the fifth level, the ‘Superb’.He could even rely on his blood essence power to send out a flaming palm print that was three meters away from his body.At this stage, the Iron Palm could no longer be called the Iron Palm.Martial techniques like the Iron Palm were the prerequisite for learning some higher-level martial techniques. It was normal for them to suddenly become another martial technique as they practiced.Onizuka ate the
A few ‘strong’ tree demon brothers gathered in a circle around the Rock Dragon Lizard’s eggshell brought by Aunt Jing Lan.Inside the eggshell lay various demon beast lumps of meat, processed long ago, along with a variety of ‘seasonings’ contributed by the tree demon brothers.Draken stood beneath the eggshell, his hands raised high. His iron palms, extremely white, seemed to have solidified flames. A layer of hot white halo condensed on his palms, adhering to the bottom of the eggshell, functioning as a makeshift stove.Now, Draken’s Iron Palm had surpassed its regular scope, qualifying as a higher-level martial technique. Nonetheless, for simplicity, Draken still referred to it as Iron Palm.Onizuka was speechless. This was the first time he'd seen someone using Iron Palm to cook hotpot!Moreover, it seemed a bit absurd for a high school student to master Iron Palm to perfection during a martial examination!However, considering Draken's feats during this martial examination, Onizu
“Here, class monitor, eat quickly. They’re all delicacies. I saved them, especially for you.”“Draken…” York hesitated.He still had a rogue appendix in his stomach. Could he eat?Onizuka seemed to sense York’s hesitation. He cleared his throat and said, “York, go ahead and eat. I’ve examined your body. There won’t be any issues. As for your appendix… You can have it removed at the hospital when we return.”“Alright then,” York conceded, his apprehension easing.As he savored the delicious meal, York couldn’t shake off the lingering sense of disbelief. He had narrowly escaped death, and now, with his injuries miraculously healed, he couldn’t help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events.Draken, ever the thoughtful friend, had ensured that York didn’t miss out on the feast despite his unconscious state. His act of kindness warmed York's heart, reinforcing their bond of friendship forged through trials and challenges.Despite the bizarre circumstances and the lingering myste
"Why haven't you left yet?" Aunt Jing Lan inquired, her gaze falling on Onizuka, who remained rooted to the spot, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.Onizuka, too, felt a twinge of discomfort. "Yeah, why haven't I left yet..." he mused aloud.Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Ancient Star Continent had lost its teleportation device upon arrival at the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret Realm. Unlike the examinees who entered via the martial examination's mystic realm teleportation device, those from the Ancient Star Continent had their teleportation marks imprinted on the secret plane teleportation devices they brought with them.With the loss of their equipment, only their imprints returned to Great Xia. Unable to be teleported back directly, they were left to rely on the gate for transportation."Cough, actually, I have something to discuss with the Sacred Mountain Tree," Onizuka interjected, changing the subject. "Sacred Mountain Tree, I wish to negotiate a deal with you. I hope you'll
Yun Cheng First Middle School.Flag-raising Square.Only the majority of the teaching staff, the teachers and students of Grade 12 Class 4, and some parents of the students were left.The students of Grade 12 Class 4 stood in front of the flag-raising platform with the teachers. In front of them were two coffins.That was their classmate’s coffin.Seven days ago, they entered the examination hall from here.Now, the students who were still alive were waiting for their classmates ‘bodies to return.The two students who had yet to return had their ‘Return Imprint’ that matched the ‘Teleportation Imprint’ on them. The school placed them in two coffins respectively to ensure that after the two students ‘returned, the young corpses that had been ravaged would no longer be exposed to the wilderness.In front of each coffin, a simple spiritual altar was built. On it were black and white photos of the two students and tributes.Although there weren’t many people in the flag-raising square, th
Tears streamed down Li Bindao's cheeks as she trembled with relief. "I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back. Good children! Wuwuwuwu..."[Heartfelt Approval from an Elder] progress +1, current (3/10).[Congratulations to the host for triggering the secondary function: He had shocked everyone at his own funeral!][Achievement-Unleashing Imagination, leveled up!] - Increase Substitution's efficacy by 10%"Draken, Draken, how did you survive?""Class President, Class President, what happened in the Myriad Beast Mountain in the past few days? Did you encounter any patrolling martial artists?""That's wonderful. Not a single one of our classmates is missing. Everyone has returned!""Jiruo, why did you bring a cat back?"Following a brief moment of shock, the students eagerly surrounded Draken and York, bombarding them with questions.Draken, observing the teary-eyed students, patiently addressed their inquiries one by one.Uriel, sensing the overwhelming enthusiasm of Draken's classmat
Draken felt a twinge of regret as the realization dawned that they couldn't have a proper meal. The school's memorial service had been incomplete, and these arrangements weren't made in advance. Upon reflection, it seemed appropriate; after all, a funeral should be a private affair.After handing over the watch, Li Bindao offered to drive Draken home. York's parents had attended a memorial service at the school, but it hadn't been successful. Hence, York didn't accompany Draken.Draken settled into the front passenger seat, feeling his eyelids grow heavy. Returning to Great Xia, his tense heart finally relaxed. Regardless of the ease of the martial exam, seven days without proper sleep had taken its toll.Meanwhile, Uriel nestled in Draken's arms, peering curiously at the passing scenery through the window, pondering, "Is this the human world?""Student Jiruo, could you please inform the teacher..." Li Bin began to speak, but his sentence trailed off as he noticed Draken dozing off, h
