495: Chapter 495 The former number one on the list of geniuses has returned.

Inside the Credit Hall, everyone's gazes fell with curiosity upon the hooded youth who had just entered.

"Who is this guy?"

"Looking at his outfit, so mysterious—could he be some kind of hidden big shot?"

Just as everyone was speculating, a senior in the crowd who appeared to be a third-year student stared at the figure's back for a few seconds before his body suddenly jolted, as if he had remembered something, his eyes widening in shock.

Xiao Yuxin let out a sharp cry and decisively rushed beneath the monster lunging at her. Just as it swung its claws downward, she suddenly lashed out with her left arm while simultaneously charging toward the monster on the right, her right fist striking it with a loud "bang."

This time, Earth was truly in a panic. To be honest, Bian's feelings toward Earth were complex, but Earth's feelings toward Bian were equally so. Their fear of Bian stemmed from her insane combat prowess, but Earth was not the only one that feared her; there wasn't a single planet in the galaxy that didn't.

"Tianrou, don't be afraid, it's Brother! It's Brother outside." Running up to the burrow, Tianxiang yanked away the half-insect corpse blocking the entrance. Just as he prepared to crouch and crawl inside, a long steel spear suddenly thrust out from within, nearly skewering him.

Suddenly, a cool sensation washed through her mind, and she was shocked to realize she had nearly been corrupted by the demonic sword. She hurriedly used her energy to guide that violent aura into the energy vortex within her dantian.

"We're all relatives, are we really going to stop associating with each other?" Jiang Lan didn't dare to talk back and changed the subject instead.

This was the great vow made by Ksitigarbha. Originally, this vow should have been nearly impossible to fulfill, but who could have foreseen that the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms would migrate entirely?

"So they take me for a martial artist, too?! Fine, whatever. Since I'm idle anyway, using my brain more is better than being bored and constantly thinking about how to kill him."

"Indeed. Rabbit's actions must be backed by something; otherwise, why would she lend her the phoenix while simultaneously causing trouble behind the scenes?"

Once people have money, the flamboyant aspects of their personality gradually emerge. Moreover, his status as a hostage was already quite unique; now, people from all walks of life fawned over him. Anyone on Earth with even a modicum of power knew that if they wanted to deal with Hulü Zhuibing, they first had to be on good terms with Bai Kai.

"No rush. I'm going to stop by your place before I head out. I just made arrangements with Third Uncle," Lin Kangping said.

These words were cutting to the heart, leaving Zhang Juzheng feeling somewhat awkward. However, what Zhu Yijun said was the truth, and he really had no way to refute it.

As the second-choice goalkeeper, if not for the rotation policy pushed by Long Shute, he likely wouldn't have been able to get even three appearances in a season.

"Shh, don't worry. That's just the weapon Brother used to teach those people a lesson," Suyang said with a wink and a smile.

Carrying her reluctance to leave him, Auntie passed away, leaving behind nothing but a cold mound of earth. He told himself inwardly, "Auntie left peacefully enough; at least she saw me get married."

He possessed the excellent physique of an African player, but like most of his compatriots, he lacked high game IQ. He relied too much on his body when defending, which often led to excessive force and resulted in fouls.

Xingping, who had been poisoned first, had also woken up over ten minutes ago. Although his entire body still felt numb, he was able to lean against a large tree and eat something.

Even before they entered, Yang Feihu and Pi Youlong had guessed that Chen Ao would definitely beg them to help him escape. Yet, Chen Ao's overly enthusiastic display still took them by surprise.

Zhang You did not like Wang Xijie, but seeing her still able to make the right decisions even in such a rage, he couldn't help but secretly admire her.

"Of course it's true! Come here, Senior, let me tell you what to do. From now on, no one will ever bully you again!" With that, Lan Mengmeng relayed to Zhang Siran all the knowledge about strengthening that Yunxin had shared with her.
