The sun in the afternoon scorched the ground.
Third-year Class 6 of Dragon City Ninth High School.
The classroom was as hot as a steamer.
The students were drowsy.
The teacher swung his alloy saber with one hand and held a monstrous specimen with the other. He shouted at the top of his lungs from the podium.
"Look at me! Look at me! If you don't look at me, how are you supposed to know what the monster looks like?"
A teenager with messy hair suddenly woke up from his sleep at the last row of the classroom and screamed.
The students and teacher were shocked. "Meng Chao?"
There were dark red sleep marks on Meng Chao's face, and he looked terrified, as if he had just had a long nightmare.
He scratched his head and looked around.
When he saw the blackboard, his dazed gaze suddenly froze.
The blackboard was filled with the profound secrets of saber techniques.
The analysis of the arm strength and the moment when the saber was swung, the speed, angle, and depth of the blade, the maximum strength of the monster's shell, and all sorts of complicated formulas.
They were all questions that had to be answered during the national college examination.
There were also two rows of words on the blackboard.
"The final battle of the national college examination will last 50 days!
"Study hard and improve every day! Show off our might and dominate the Other World!"
"This is … my classroom in the third year of high school?"
Meng Chao was dazed. "Didn't I die? Why am I back in the third year of high school? And I'm about to take my national college examination? I'd be better off dead than dead! "
In an instant, his head hurt.
Countless memory fragments surged into his mind like a monster.
'What? Dragon City is destroyed?
I failed my national college examination and was beaten up by society for decades, but I only managed to become a third-class fighter?
'But my sister is talented and has Night Demon Blood. She became the legendary Dark Witch and is one of the most terrifying Boss-level fighters in all of Dragon City … No, in all of the Other World?!'
'Meow! Meow! Just what kind of godly development is this?!'
Meng Chao felt like he was struck by lightning.
He wanted to remember it in detail, but the nightmare quickly disappeared, and only a few flashes remained.
In his daze, a familiar black face moved closer to him.
"Mr. Yan, you're still alive?" Meng Chao blurted out.
"…"
The entire class fell silent. Then, it burst into an uproar.
Everyone was filled with admiration for Meng Chao's courage in seeking death.
It had to be known that Yan Dongxing, the lecturer of One Hundred Saber Techniques, was Demon Yan, who was feared by all.
It was said that in the past, he was a famous and ruthless instructor in the army, and killing monsters was as easy as chopping up dumplings.
"You even dared to tease Demon Yan? As expected of the fiercest person in Class 6. Meng Chao, we'll give you a grand funeral."
The students shed tears of sympathy.
Yan Dongxing's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, instantly burned red.
"Meng Chao, please explain."
He held the monster's skull in his hand, and his tone was calm, but there was killing intent in it.
"Not good."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, he was ten times more sensitive to killing intent than the students around him.
Under the stimulation of the murderous aura, he quickly recognized reality.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Yan. I was too tired from studying last night. I took a nap just now and had a … nightmare?"
Meng Chao tried his best to capture the memories in his mind and said uncertainly, "I seemed to have dreamed that the creatures of the Other World filled the sky and earth. They were really brutal, and they howled. They surged toward Dragon City like a flood, and we couldn't stop them at all. Our home of one hundred years was destroyed overnight.
"Then, um … Mr. Yan, you were really heroic in my dream. You were a martyr that everyone respected. I was reminiscing about your voice and smile in my dream, and when I opened my eyes, I saw you walking toward me. I was really overjoyed, and I couldn't help —"
"Wait."
Yan Dongxing quirked his eyebrows. "In your dream, Dragon City was destroyed, and I died as well?"
He had the ghost of a smile on his lips.
The monster's skull let out cracking sounds.
"Well …" Meng Chao scratched his head.
After returning from the nightmare, his will to live was very strong. "Don't worry, you died without pain. It was very peaceful."
Meng Chao was not lying.
He could vaguely remember that Demon Yan had been eaten by a Hundred Teeth Worm.
He was torn to shreds in two or three seconds.
He did not even have the time to scream.
He should not have felt any pain, right?
Crack!
Yan Dongxing crushed the monster's skull.
"Dragon City will be destroyed? What a joke! "
The ruthless instructor flew into a rage. His eyes were even bigger than those of a monster's. "I won't talk about how you usually slack off and how you sleep in class, but Meng Chao, what's in your head that made you dream about Dragon City being destroyed?!
"Stand properly against the wall. Look up, puff out your chest, suck in your tummy, stick out your butt, and tell me loudly. Fifty years ago, when Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World, we didn't have coal, oil, electricity, or anything else. We only had plagues and zombies running amok. At that time, did Dragon City perish?"
Meng Chao was troubled. "Mr. Yan, how am I supposed to stick my butt up against the wall?"
"What?"
"Sir, Dragon City didn't perish!"
Meng Chao shuddered, and he instantly regained the feeling of a seventeen-year-old. He stuck out his butt, and his face was filled with determination.
"After the zombie crisis, the fog descended, and the monsters appeared. Countless martyrs shed their blood and opened up a living space inch by inch through the monsters' teeth."
Yan Dongxing continued roaring. "During the first ten years of the Monster War alone, we lost one-third of our population. During the most devastating period, the monsters could enter the city center every day. Humans fought against the monsters in every shopping mall, every residential area, and every toilet. Tell me, did we submit to them? Did Dragon City perish? "
"Sir, we didn't submit! Dragon City didn't perish!"
Meng Chao faced the ruthless instructor's spittle.
Meng Chao was not afraid of death.
Some of Yan Dongxing's anger faded away, and he said darkly, "Very good. Regardless of whether it's transmigrating to the Other World, rampaging zombies, or monster invasions, these dangers didn't destroy us, but they made us stronger. After fighting for half a century, the current Dragon City has gained a stable footing in the Other World.
"Compared to when we just transmigrated, the area of Dragon City has increased by three times, and the population has increased by five times. Many of the citizens have reached the standard of the elite special forces and Olympic champions on Earth. The superhumans are one in a hundred, and they have astonishing fighting strength.
"We've upgraded our ancient martial arts, restored our powerful industries, and created brand new technology. Dragon City's armored cavaliers are ready for battle every night. As long as the fog disappears, our steel army will spread the light of Earth's civilization to the entire Other World with the momentum of a tiger coming down from the mountain.
"How could a Dragon City like this be destroyed by the creatures of the Other World? And they're even bloody brutal? Let me tell you, Earthlings are the most brutal in this world! "
The ruthless instructor could not help but swear.
The students felt their blood boil.
Zuo Haoran stood up.
He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes. He was tall, and just like his name, he had a righteous air about him.
The class rep cast Meng Chao a glance and said sternly, "Mr. Yan, you're right. The long night is over, and the dawn of victory is right in front of us. We grew up in a great era that shines brightly, so the teenagers should study hard and train hard to become superhumans so that they can contribute to Dragon City's rise to power in the Other World.
"How can we be so afraid of our enemies and think about Dragon City's destruction every day?
"Of course, I believe that there are only a handful of people who are as cowardly as rats. Most of us have the same thought — Dragon City will win! Earth will win! Civilization will win! "
With the class rep taking the lead, the students became excited.
"Dragon City will win! Earth will win! Civilization will win! "
Everyone swung their fists and shouted. They wanted to throw away their pens and join the army so that they could sweep through the Other World.
"Class rep, you're so handsome!"
Quite a number of girls looked at Zuo Haoran with admiration.
As a stark contrast, their gazes when they looked at Meng Chao naturally became strange.
Some people even whispered among themselves.
"Meng Chao has been pretty depraved lately. He keeps sleeping in class."
"You can't blame him for that. He made a mistake in his cultivation, and he was heavily injured. He fell from first place to last place in class. If you were in his place, wouldn't you be depraved?"
"But you can't curse Dragon City to be destroyed!"
'What the heck, you're looking for trouble!'
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. 'Do I have a grudge against you?'
He thought about it carefully. 'Hmm, I do have a grudge against you.'
The class rep, Zuo Haoran, was Meng Chao's archenemy in high school.
As he stared at the handsome and righteous pretty boy, Meng Chao felt his head hurt. Memory fragments surged into his mind, and scenes flashed past his eyes.
Meng Chao realized that the reason he failed his national college examination in his nightmare seemed to be related to the class rep.
At the same time he failed, the class rep got into a famous university and soon became a superhuman. He rose to the top.
But the bastard was a complete hypocrite. He was truly a despicable person.
When Dragon City slaughtered its way through the Other World and won repeatedly, Zuo Haoran's status rose along with it. He was known as a hero, and he received a lot of flowers and glory.
During high school reunions, seven or eight girls pounced on him like wolves.
Meng Chao was a person with a great sense of justice.
He was envious on the spot. No, he was disgusted.
However, when Dragon City ran into a real Other World civilization and sank into a tough battle, the guy ran away and caused the entire battlefront to collapse.
Zuo Haoran received the judgment of the war court, and he decided to go all out. He decided to betray Dragon City and join the Other World. He even betrayed Earth's secrets!
'He's just a traitor. What's there to be arrogant about?
'Just who was the one who feared the enemy like a tiger? At the very least, I fought until the last moment and lived and died with Dragon City.
'You little punk. First, you ruined my national college examination, then you acted like a hooligan during the reunions. In the end, you even betrayed Dragon City? I'll kill you! '
As if it was instinct, Meng Chao came up with battle plans in his head.
He took half a step forward.
Zuo Haoran instinctively became wary.
"You're too good, class rep. You've really educated me and touched me."
Meng Chao's expression was sincere. He even bowed slightly. "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Yan, class rep. I've come to realize my mistakes, and I'll change. From now on, I'll definitely stand firm and train hard. I'll contribute all my strength to Dragon City's rise in power in the Other World. There's no point in saying anything else.
Please watch my actions! "
Zuo Haoran shuddered.
He felt that Meng Chao's gaze had suddenly turned strange. He looked like a completely different person compared to when he was in class.
"Alright, class rep, sit down. Let's continue."
Yan Dongxing did not waste his breath. He pointed at the corner of the wall. "Be conscious. Dragon Hibernation Stance. Stand there until the end of class."
The words "Dragon Hibernation Stance" stirred up a series of sharp inhales.
There were Nine Great Stances in Dragon City's compulsory education system from kindergarten to high school.
There were three lying stances, three sitting stances, and three standing stances. When they were used with breathing techniques and meditation techniques, they could absorb the spirit energy of the world and stimulate the activity of their cells. They could then break through the shackles of their genes and step onto the path of superhumans and saints.
Dragon Hibernation Stance was the tenth stance that surpassed the syllabus.
It was also the most difficult stance to practice.
Forget about high school, even many of the junior colleges did not teach Dragon Hibernation Stance.
