26: Chapter 26 Back to School
Lu Yuan stopped speaking.
Lu Chen also had nothing more to say.
His father's story...
It really did sound like the protagonist of a novel from his past life.
Except there was no status panel and no Golden Finger.
Yet he still dared to love and hate.
He had resolutely chosen love nonetheless.
And now.
His son possessed the power to rewrite fate...
However, thinking of his identity.
Lu Chen fell silent once more.
To think he actually had such a powerful background.
The Lu Family.
In the human world, there were only seventy-some warriors above B-Rank.
This Family alone accounted for three of them.
Not to mention numerous C-Rank Warriors...
And.
No wonder his father had that look on his face when he saw the body tempering fluid.
It was something he had developed...
“Dad.”
Lu Chen finally spoke.
His voice was firm.
“Don't be sad. If you want to return to your Family, I will help you.”
“If you want revenge... I will help you achieve that too. Just give me a little more time, and everything will be fine.”
Lu Yuan heard this.
He smiled.
He did not answer.
Did he harbor resentment?
Perhaps.
But it wasn't resentment toward his Family.
It was merely a protest against the injustice of fate...
...
After breakfast.
Lu Chen left home.
He rode his bike to school.
He had already made up his mind.
He was going to drop out.
To focus entirely on his Cultivation.
He arrived at school on his bike.
After parking.
He suddenly noticed a familiar figure ahead.
Zhang Guo.
If he hadn't seen him.
Lu Chen would have almost forgotten this person existed.
At that moment.
Zhang Guo also saw him.
A cold sneer immediately appeared on his face.
He shouted loudly.
“Quick, look who's here.”
“It's our great Genius Lu Chen, the peerless Genius who awakened three attributes and decided to Cultivate all of them simultaneously.”
“It's unbelievable! Everyone, give him a round of applause!”
Nearby students looked over one after another with puzzled gazes.
Seeing this.
Zhang Guo felt even more smug.
He loved being in the spotlight.
Gaining everyone's attention.
So he shouted even louder.
“Lu Chen, now that we are both Quasi-Warriors, do you dare to duel me in an official arena?”
He was gloating in his heart.
Yesterday, he had gradually mastered the basics of the Cultivation Technique he received.
He believed that within two months.
Or perhaps even sooner.
He would open his first Spiritual Vein.
Whereas Lu Chen's choice to Cultivate all attributes simultaneously.
Was absolutely idiotic.
No matter how high his natural talent.
With his energy divided.
His Cultivation speed couldn't possibly be very fast.
He would be overtaken sooner or later.
And the gap between them would only continue to grow.
Zhang Guo grinned.
But Lu Chen... didn't even give him a single glance.
He walked right past Zhang Guo.
As if he didn't even exist.
Zhang Guo's expression immediately contorted.
This feeling of humiliation from being completely ignored.
Felt worse than being insulted to his face.
He immediately roared.
“Lu Chen! If you're a man, accept my challenge!”
“Otherwise, put on women's clothes and dance on the playground! Let everyone know you're a cowardly wimp!”
The surrounding students burst into laughter.
The laughter spread across the campus.
Lu Chen stopped in his tracks.
He really didn't want to bother with that little bug.
But the bug was persistent in harassing him.
How annoying.
He turned around.
He walked straight toward Zhang Guo.
His eyes were cold and indifferent.
Like he was looking at an ant.
Zhang Guo instinctively took a step back.
For a moment.
He actually felt an indescribable sense of fear from the other party.
But he recovered immediately.
Afraid?
He was afraid of Lu Chen?
What a joke!
He immediately shouted in rebuke.
“What are you staring at me for? A staring contest? You're still just a coward who doesn't dare to get in the ring with me...”
He was very confident in his own strength.
Because he had just consumed a bottle of High Grade body tempering fluid.
It was a gift from his grandfather to congratulate him on his successful Awakening.
But before he could finish his sentence...
Lu Chen pulled out a Black Card.
The smile on Zhang Guo's face instantly froze.
Wasn't that a Formal Warrior ID Card?
But before he had time to think about how the other person could have such a thing.
Suddenly—
A terrifying aura enveloped him.
Lu Chen raised his hand.
A punch landed directly on Zhang Guo's chest.
Then his body flew out like a cannonball.
He rolled several times on the ground.
Finally, he slammed into a car parked nearby.
And then.
There was a heart-wrenching sound of glass shattering.
Along with a series of clatters and bangs.
Silence.
A deafening silence.
No one cared whether Zhang Guo was alive or dead.
They just stared blankly in one direction.
Lu Chen didn't say a word.
He hated wasting breath.
So he just acted.
The surrounding students were all so shocked they were speechless.
They looked at Zhang Guo.
And then they looked at Lu Chen...
Finally, their gazes landed on the Black Card in his hand.
To swat away a Quasi-Warrior like a rubber ball so easily.
Is... is he really Lu Chen?
Some people had already recognized what that Black Card was.
But they simply couldn't believe it belonged to him.
He had clearly just awakened his talent two days ago.
How could he possibly have a Black Card representing the status of a Formal Warrior so soon?!
But Lu Chen didn't care what they thought.
He turned and walked straight toward the principal's office.
Lu Chen entered the principal's office.
His expression was calm and composed.
Principal Liu Qingsong was sitting behind his desk.
He was flipping through some documents.
When he saw Lu Chen come in.
He immediately set down the papers in his hand.
He gave a gentle smile.
And said.
“So it's student Lu Chen. Hello there.”
“Hello, Principal!”
Lu Chen nodded in greeting.
“I'm here to drop out. Can you help me process the paperwork?”
Liu Qingsong blinked in surprise.
He looked Lu Chen up and down.
As if confirming whether he had heard correctly.
Then he leaned forward.
He sat up straight and said.
“Drop out? Student Lu Chen, are you sure?”
He asked.
His tone was sincere.
Carrying a deep sense of concern.
“You have already shown incredible potential. You are already a Quasi-Warrior now.”
“With your talent, it's very likely you'll be directly admitted to Star Dou Battle Academy later.”
“To drop out now, isn't this decision... a bit too hasty? Won't you reconsider?”
Lu Chen reached into his pocket.
With a calm expression, he pulled out that smooth Black Card.
The Alliance-certified Formal Warrior ID Card.
He placed it gently on the desk.
“I appreciate your concern, Principal. But I am already a Formal Warrior, and I have signed an agreement with the Alliance.”
“From now on, I want to focus entirely on my Cultivation. Thank you for everything you've considered for me.”
Liu Qingsong was instantly stunned.
“You... what did you say?”
“I am already a Formal Warrior.”
Lu Chen repeated.
With a bright smile.
“I managed to achieve a Breakthrough yesterday by chance.”
