76: Chapter 77 Returning to School

A luxurious black sports car pulled up at the school entrance.

The students immediately swarmed around it like bees to a flower bud.

“Wow, isn't that a Black Charm V12?!”

“What big shot came to our school today?!”

The car door opened.

Lu Chen stepped out, exuding an air of nobility.

“Ah, it's Lu Chen!”

The girls suddenly erupted into waves of screams.

One girl even fell directly to the ground.

The boys' eyes widened in even greater shock.

It was as if they were seeing an alien.

Lu Chen had already become a legend at the school.

Everyone had seen what happened that day on television and the internet.

Lu Chen gave Ke Ji a call.

Ke Ji quickly ran out from inside.

He raised his fist toward the sky.

And announced loudly,

“Reporting to the Chairman! Your loyal subordinate has come in response to your summons!”

This time, it was Lu Chen's turn to feel suffocated.

He hurriedly looked away.

Pretending not to know this bastard.

He really wanted to dig a hole,

And just sneak inside.

That day, it was to protect Ke Ji's dignity,

So he acted a bit chuunibyou.

But today was different—under the watchful eyes of the entire school's teachers and students... and in front of Nianwei.

Even Lu Chen's thick skin was starting to crack.

He quickly turned around,

And opened the other car door.

Luo Nianwei stepped out elegantly from within.

The students let out another burst of exclamations.

So,

Those rumors were true.

—Lu Chen and Luo Nianwei really were together.

And from the looks of it,

They truly seemed like a match made in heaven.

At this moment,

The entire campus fell silent.

Everyone watched the two of them silently,

Like a King and Queen inspecting their territory.

No one dared to speak.

Only a few jealous girls silently clenched their fists.

...

Luo Nianwei felt a bit awkward seeing the various strange looks in her classmates' eyes.

But she didn't care.

Lu Chen looked at her,

And smiled slightly.

“Let's go, Madam.”

A flush of crimson rose to Luo Nianwei's cheeks.

She felt embarrassed and annoyed in her heart,

But she still nodded.

Lu Chen took Luo Nianwei's hand,

And walked forward,

As if he hadn't seen Ke Ji at all.

Ke Ji immediately jogged behind them, shouting,

“Chairman, wait! Did your most loyal subordinate do something wrong?”

Lu Chen's face went completely black.

This bastard?!

He turned around,

And threw a light punch,

Sending Ke Ji tumbling to the ground.

Lu Chen controlled his strength,

Maintaining a level similar to Ke Ji's own power,

So he wasn't injured.

—But at least his mouth could stay shut.

Luo Nianwei looked at Lu Chen in confusion.

Then the three of them went to their classroom together.

Lu Chen didn't intend to enter the academy.

He came to school,

Just wanting to see everyone one last time,

And invite them to the Farewell Banquet he was hosting tomorrow.

Furthermore,

He had also brought Top-grade Body Tempering Fluid.

Last time, some people failed the Awakening Assessment because they lacked strength.

He wanted to repay the classmates who had once helped him.

The school bell rang.

All the students began to pour into the classroom.

They greeted Lu Chen one after another as they passed him.

When Lu Chen walked to his former desk,

He found a restriction sign on it.

He was very confused.

What was going on?

Why was this seat restricted?

After all,

He wasn't a student here anymore.

But what Lu Chen didn't know,

Was that since he dropped out,

His seat had remained empty.

The school leadership had heard of his achievements,

So they specially preserved his seat,

And restricted others from sitting there.

Who knew if this seat might one day become their school's brand name?

He asked Ke Ji about it.

Ke Ji shrugged and said,

“What other reason could there be? You're a big celebrity. Of course the school wants to leech off your fame one day.”

Lu Chen was momentarily speechless.

“So... can I sit here?”

However, he still didn't sit down.

Because the restriction sign was there,

He didn't want to remove it without permission,

So he had to remain standing.

Meanwhile,

Luo Nianwei was talking with some girls she was close to,

With a brilliant smile on her face.

Seeing her so relaxed,

Lu Chen also felt a wave of relief.

At that moment,

Old Man Yang walked into the classroom.

He saw Lu Chen standing there,

And was instantly very surprised.

The students stood up one by one to greet him.

Old Man Yang told them to sit down,

But Lu Chen remained standing.

Then Old Man Yang suddenly remembered something,

And coughed somewhat awkwardly.

“Student Lu Chen, you can take that sign away. Sit in your seat.”

Lu Chen smiled and complied.

“Thank you, Teacher. How have you been lately?”

“I'm very well,” Old Man Yang said. “And you? You brat, you've become so famous, I'm proud of you.”

Lu Chen chuckled.

“I've been doing well. By the way, Teacher, I came today because I wanted to say something.”

Old Man Yang smiled.

“Do you want to speak from there or come up to the podium?”

“I'll just speak from here.”

Then he looked around,

Facing the students in the class.

“Hello everyone. I'm Lu Chen. Some of you might know me, some might not. Regardless, I'm your former classmate.”

“I've received an invitation from A-1 Base City and will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow night, I'm hosting a Farewell Banquet and would like to invite you all. And you, Teacher, you are welcome to attend as well.”

The students were instantly excited upon hearing this.

They knew Lu Chen was already a big shot,

And in the near future, he would likely become an even greater figure.

If they could build a good relationship with him,

Then their lives might change forever because of it.

Old Man Yang smiled slightly.

Clearly,

He already knew Lu Chen was going to A-1 Base City.

Lu Chen sat back in his seat,

Simultaneously activating his Innate Spiritual Sense.

He had always been curious about Old Man Yang's true strength.
