361: A graduation photo has the world's internet on fire, showcasing all kinds of expressions of former classmates!

“Holy cow, Li Wei, you’re something else! This move is called using public opinion to force a hand!”

“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This way, the initiative is in our hands!”

“But… will doing this displease the Holy Lord?” Su Yating asked, a bit worried.

After all, it was like putting someone on a hot seat.

Liang Jingping also felt this move was somewhat inappropriate, too opportunistic.

But Li Wei didn't care about all that; he was already dizzy with the fantasy of reaching the Peak overnight.

Li Wei: “What’s there to be afraid of? We didn’t do anything bad, we’re just stating a fact!”

“Besides, fortune favors the bold.”

“Class monitor, send me the highest resolution graduation photo; I’ll handle it!”

With that, he didn’t even wait for Liang Jingping’s consent, directly saving the group photo from the chat.

Then, he ambitiously reopened the “Myth” live stream.

He directly uploaded the graduation photo.

And accompanied it with a boastful text.

“You blind fools, open your dog eyes and see clearly!”

“This is the graduation photo of Class 3, 2008, from H City No.3 Middle School. The one in the last row is your Holy Lord, my classmate, Mo Yan!”

“Now, who still dares to say I’m just trying to gain popularity?!”

This comment.

Instantly ignited the entire global network!

“What?! There really is a group photo?”

“Let me see… Holy cow! It’s true!”

“Although he looks a bit younger, these features, this demeanor, it’s definitely the Holy Lord himself!”

“My God, the Holy Lord’s identity has been exposed? His name is Mo Yan? And he graduated from H City No.3 Middle School?”

“This… this… this is too explosive! The mysterious Holy Lord actually has such an ordinary past?”

“Quick, go investigate, H City No.3 Middle School, Mo Yan! Dig up all his information for me!”

In an instant, the world’s attention shifted from the suspended arena.

From the young Sword Immortal Chen Beixuan, it uniformly transferred to this small graduation photo.

Countless hackers, intelligence organizations, and national agencies went into frantic operation at this moment.

The name Mo Yan, with a speed even more terrifying than Chen Beixuan, swept across the entire Blue Star.

The headlines of major news media were uniformly changed within a few minutes.

“Shocking: H City Holy Lord’s Identity Exposed for the First Time, Turns Out to Be an Ordinary High School Graduate!”

“From Obscurity to the Peak of Blue Star: Unveiling the Legendary Past of Holy Lord Mo Yan!”

“A Single Photo Triggers a Global Earthquake!”

The exposure of Mo Yan’s identity plunged the entire world into a state of absurdity and madness!

That man, high above, like a god, was once an ordinary person just like them!

This made countless low-level Lords, while feeling absurd, also see a glimmer of hope.

As for those netizens who had ridiculed Li Wei.

Their faces were now swollen from being slapped.

“I was wrong, I was really wrong! Big shot, do you still need hangers-on? The kind that can shout 666!”

“Classmate big shot, take me with you! I’m willing to work like an ox or a horse for you!”

Li Wei looked at the comments in the live stream, where the sentiment had done a complete 180-degree turn.

And the constant influx of friend requests on his communicator, making him feel completely elated.

He smugly sent a message in the classmates’ group chat.

Li Wei: “See that? This is the power of public opinion!”

“Brothers, get ready to welcome our glorious future!”

Meanwhile.

In the H City Holy Land, in that miraculous suspended arena, in the VIP seats.

Mo Yan yawned, completely unaware that his past had been completely dug up by his former classmates.

He just felt that today’s competition was a bit boring.

It was time to find some fun.

As the global network completely erupted because of a graduation photo,

The instigator, Li Wei, was enjoying the Peak moment of his life.

His communicator was practically blowing up.

There were recruitment messages from various major powers, humble apologies from former enemies,

And countless friend requests from unfamiliar Lords wanting to establish connections.

“Brother Li Wei, I am the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Blade Alliance, I’ve long admired your name!”

A message popped up; the sender was the guild leader whom Li Wei had wanted to join but was rejected by earlier.

“May I have the honor of inviting you to dinner and becoming friends?”

“Brother Wei, Brother Wei! I’m your junior from H City No.3 Middle School!”

“I still remember your heroic figure on the basketball court back then, please take me under your wing! Please protect me!”

“Mr. Li Wei, we are reporters from New Era Intelligence, and we hope to conduct an exclusive interview with you.”

“To talk about interesting anecdotes from your student days with the Holy Lord; compensation is negotiable!”

Li Wei looked at these messages, his mouth almost splitting into a grin.

With a calm but incredibly smug tone, he replied to those important figures he previously wouldn’t even dare to imagine speaking to.

To Wang Ba, the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Blade Alliance, he replied: “Alliance Leader Wang, dinner? Let’s talk about it later. Too many people want to see me lately, they have to queue.”

“Dinner? Let’s talk about it later, I’m quite busy these days.”

“Oh, junior? I vaguely remember you. Work hard, I have high hopes for you.”

“As for the exclusive interview, Mo Yan and I… *cough*, what happened between the Holy Lord and me, it’s not convenient to disclose to the public.”

He felt like a favored official by an ancient emperor, second only to one person, above tens of thousands.

This feeling was too exhilarating!

He excitedly paced back and forth in his small Lords Manor, his mind already fantasizing about a beautiful future life.

“When I get to the Holy Land and meet Mo Yan, what should I say?”

“Should I act more affectionate, or more reserved?”

“He will definitely arrange a good position for me, at least a vice-commander of the Holy Land Guard, right?”

“By then, S-rank talented beauties, legendary equipment, won’t they all be mine to choose from?”

“Oh, and my territory, I need Mo Yan to move it to Sector S, to be neighbors with those big shots!”

The more Li Wei thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, as if he had already seen himself reaching the Peak of his life.

He immediately rushed out of the Lords Manor and loudly announced to his hardworking people:

“Stop working, it’s a holiday today.”

“I, Li Wei, the Holy Lord’s old classmate! From now on, you all just wait to live a life of luxury with me!”

The people looked at each other, not knowing what madness had seized their Lord.

Unlike Li Wei’s giddiness, the other people in the classmates’ group chat had mixed feelings.

Class monitor Liang Jingping looked at the graduation photo that had spread across the entire network, his brows deeply furrowed.

He was a cautious and ambitious person.

He knew very well that while Li Wei’s approach temporarily gained immense attention, it was also like walking a tightrope.

“Too hasty, too foolish.” He muttered to himself.

In his opinion, this classmate relationship was an incredibly precious trump card.

It should be played quietly, at the most critical moment, to gain the maximum benefit.

Not like now, being used by Li Wei as capital for showing off, making it known to everyone.

This would put Mo Yan in a very awkward position.

To meet, or not to meet?

If he meets, will every Tom, Dick, and Harry use the excuse of being a classmate to try and curry favor in the future?

Where would the dignity of the Holy Land be?

If he doesn’t meet, he will gain a reputation for being ungrateful.

“Troublesome.” Liang Jingping sighed.

He felt that Li Wei, this one bad apple, might spoil the whole barrel.

He began to consider how he should, in this storm stirred up by Li Wei.

Secure the most stable benefit for himself.

Or even… replace Li Wei, becoming the sole contact person between this group of classmates and the Holy Lord.
