63: Reverse hypnosis, teacher, you're sleeping so soundly.

Tianqiong War God Academy, Third Lecture Hall.

This was a large class of several hundred people—"Basic Theory and Application of Spiritual Qi."

The instructor was an old professor in his sixties named Gu Banshan. True to his name, he was rigid and severe, known throughout the academy as the "Master of Failing Students." In his class, let alone sleeping, even having the wrong breathing frequency could get you called out and criticized.

At this moment, the classroom was packed with students, everyone sitting bolt upright, the atmosphere extremely tense.

Except for one person.

The very center of the first row. Also known as the legendary "Special VIP Death Seat."

A figure was sprawled across the desk, sleeping soundly.

That was none other than Gu Fan's No. 1 Clone, who had been ordered to attend class—A-Shui.

"Hu—xu—hu—xu—"

His snoring was incredibly penetrating and highly rhythmic; it wasn't just simple noise, but a deep, rhythmic vibration.

With every snore, the chalk dust on the podium trembled.

Professor Gu's face had already turned ashen.

His lecturing was interrupted several times by the snoring, a feeling like someone suddenly pulling the microphone just as a singer reaches the high notes.

The entire class looked at the slumped back with the gaze one would give a martyr.

What a warrior!

Daring to sleep in the first row of Old Yama Gu's class, he was definitely tired of living.

"Bam!"

Professor Gu finally reached his limit, slamming his pointer heavily onto the podium with a sharp crack.

"That student! Wake up!"

Professor Gu roared.

However, A-Shui only twitched his ears slightly, shifted positions, turned his face the other way, and continued sleeping. He even let out a satisfied smack of his lips.

"Preposterous! This is simply preposterous!"

Professor Gu's beard trembled with rage as he strode over to A-Shui, intending to haul him up.

But just as he reached out, before he could even touch A-Shui's clothes, he suddenly felt an invisible repulsive force.

That was the Protective Aura inherent to the Myriad Manifestation Dharma Body.

Professor Gu froze for a moment, then became even more infuriated.

"Fine! You even set up a defensive Formation on yourself? Just to sleep in class?"

"Since you love sleeping so much, this old man will wake you up!"

Professor Gu took a deep breath, channeling his Grandmaster-level spiritual power.

He prepared to unleash his famous signature technique—[Awakening Lion's Roar].

This was a spiritual sonic technique specifically used to shock the mind; it was said that even those in the midst of Qi Deviation could be jolted awake by this roar.

"GET—UP—FOR—ME—!!!"

Professor Gu erupted with a deafening roar right into A-Shui's ear.

Ripples stirred by the sound waves surged through the air.

Several nearby students instantly clutched their ears, slumping onto their desks in pain.

However.

A-Shui, the target of the attack, remained completely motionless.

A microsecond before the sound waves touched his eardrums.

Gu Fan's main body was not present, but the System still faithfully performed its duties.

[Ding! Detected intense mental interference and malice intended to wake Clone 'A-Shui'.]

[Malice Source: Noise attack.]

[Judgment: Clone 'A-Shui's' core setting is 'Absolute Sleep'; any attempt to wake him will be regarded as a provocation against the 'Dao'.]

[Backlash triggered! Multiplier: 60x!]

[Law of Karma loaded: Sonic Reversal · Super Lullaby.]

[Description: Since the teacher's voice is so loud, he must want to sing everyone to sleep, right? Converting aggressive sound waves into deep hypnosis waves; effect covers the whole area, with the caster bearing the brunt.]

The next second.

Something bizarre happened.

Professor Gu's originally deafening roar suddenly changed pitch after reflecting off the invisible force field around A-Shui's body.

The original "Get up for me," upon entering everyone's ears, actually turned into a soft and gentle melody, like a mother's whisper:

"Sleep~ sleep~ my dear baby~"

This melody contained sixty times the hypnotic power of the Law of Karma, bypassing everyone's mental defenses and acting directly on the Soul.

Professor Gu, bearing the brunt, suddenly stiffened.

His wide-staring eyes instantly lost focus, and his eyelids became incredibly heavy.

"I... how can I..."

Professor Gu shook his head, trying to resist this sudden surge of sleepiness.

But the more he resisted, the more overwhelming the drowsiness became.

"So sleepy... this floor looks so soft..."

Professor Gu muttered to himself, his body beginning to sway.

Three seconds later.

This old professor, known for his severity and who hadn't slacked off for a single second in class his entire life, actually felt his legs go weak and collapsed directly onto the podium in front of hundreds of students.

"Hu... hu..."

A faint snoring sound drifted from the podium.

And the students below weren't faring any better.

The reflected sound wave was an area-of-effect attack.

The students who were just watching the show collapsed one by one, falling onto their desks in droves.

"What's happening... my eyelids are so heavy..."

"Gu Fan... is toxic..."

In less than half a minute.

The entire lecture hall, hundreds of people—except for A-Shui, who was still snoring rhythmically in the first row—were wiped out, all entering a state of deep sleep.

The rising and falling snores in the classroom merged into one.

And on the podium.

Professor Gu smacked his lips in his sleep, a peaceful smile appearing on his face, even hugging his pointer like a bolster.

[Ding! Detected confusion and subconscious malice generated by the collective 'Forced Sleep'.]

[malice points +600!]

[malice points +550!]

Far away in his dormitory, Gu Fan looked at the suddenly skyrocketing malice points with a bewildered expression.

"Holy crap? What did A-Shui do? Blow up the school?"

"Why are all the malice points coming from... dreams?"

He didn't know that at this moment, the Third Lecture Hall had become the largest "nap room" in the entire school.

And the culprit, A-Shui, rolled over and continued his unfinished grand dream.

In the world of this Clone, there was nothing that a good sleep couldn't solve.

If there was, then sleep once more.
