"After the dimensional storms a few decades ago, a large number of dimensional zones appeared all over the world. Gods, immortals, ghosts, monsters, angels, devils, pixies, and many other legendary dimensional creatures were discovered. Humans obtained their powers by hunting dimensional creatures …" Yu Qiubai, whose hair was already white, would look towards the corner of the last row of the classroom from time to time as he lectured.
The other students were focused on the lecture, but the boy in the corner was using his textbook as a shield, sleeping soundly on the table. Occasionally, one could hear him snoring lightly.
Yu Qiubai shook his head slightly without anyone noticing as he sighed inwardly. So what if he's talented? If he can't withstand a little setback, how can he accomplish great things? Although the setback from that failure was quite a huge one, he really doesn't deserve the former principal's praise if he can't recover from it.
Yu Qiubai recalled what the former principal had said to him before his retirement. Looking at the boy sleeping soundly on the table with drool hanging from the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again.
"Qiubai, I've seen many geniuses in my life. In summary, there are two types of geniuses." The former principal's eyes were very bright back then.
"Which two?" Yu Qiubai asked out of curiosity.
"One type of genius is Zhou Wen, and the other type is other geniuses."
Back then, the former principal's words left a deep impression on Yu Qiubai. However, the student who had been praised so highly by the former principal had now degenerated into a person who didn't seek to improve himself. All he did was sleep in class and game on his phone after class.
Yu Qiubai had also attempted to motivate Zhou Wen and get him to pull himself together, but after a few conversations, Zhou Wen remained the same. He slept in class and gamed after class. He no longer cultivated diligently, as though he no longer had any desire to improve himself.
Ring! Ring!
With the bell signaling the end of class, Yu Qiubai saw Zhou Wen, who was sleeping on the table, suddenly sit up in high spirits. He grabbed his phone and rushed out of the classroom without looking back. He couldn't help but feel disappointed as he muttered to himself with a sigh, "Former principal, I've already tried my best, but Zhou Wen is a hopeless fool."
Zhou Wen jogged and quickly left the building, arriving at a secluded corner of the school.
It wasn't that Zhou Wen wasn't aware of how the teachers and other students looked at him, but he didn't take it to heart.
Others believed that Zhou Wen had abandoned himself to despair because he couldn't take the blow of failure. However, Zhou Wen knew very well that he had never taken that failure to heart. The reason why he had abandoned himself to despair was something others couldn't understand, nor could he explain.
After unlocking the phone screen, Zhou Wen skillfully entered a game program named Ant Nest. Soon, the screen turned into a dark Ant Nest. In the winding passageways, there were many black ants crawling about.
Looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he pricked his finger with a needle and dripped a drop of blood onto the phone screen.
In the next second, a strange scene appeared. Zhou Wen's drop of blood seeped through the phone screen and condensed into a blood-colored avatar in Ant Nest's game screen. Beside the blood-colored avatar was an introduction.
Zhou Wen: 16 years old
Life Level: Mortal.
Strength: 9
Speed: 5
Constitution: 8
Essence Energy: 4
Primordial Energy Art: Ascetic Meditation
Primordial Energy Skill: None
Primordial Energy Pet: None
Ever since the dimensional storms, all sorts of dimensional lifeforms had appeared. They could be roughly divided into the four grades of Mortal, Legendary, Epic, and Mythical. Humans were at the lowest grade of Mortal. By cultivating in Primordial Energy Arts, one could enhance one's physique and evolve one's life grade.
However, simply cultivating a Primordial Energy Art to temper one's body resulted in an extremely slow evolution speed. By hunting dimensional creatures and plundering their dimensional crystals for one's own use, one could accelerate one's evolution.
However, the places where dimensional creatures appeared were abnormally dangerous. Apart from regions that humans had already explored, entering other regions was almost certain death. Not everyone was willing to risk their lives.
Furthermore, the Earth Federation had a clear rule that minors weren't allowed to enter dimensional zones.
The Ascetic Meditation that Zhou Wen cultivated was a type of Primordial Energy Art. He cultivated Primordial Energy purely through ascetic cultivation without relying on any external forces.
In the Federation, there were many geniuses who could cultivate Primordial Energy at the age of sixteen. However, there were probably only a handful of people like Zhou Wen, who cultivated Ascetic Meditation to temper his body to produce Primordial Energy without relying on any external forces. In a small city like Guide City, he was the only one in history.
Back then, all the teachers and students of Guide High School believed that Zhou Wen would definitely accomplish great things in the future. But who knew that not long after that, a transfer student came to Guide High School and challenged Zhou Wen. She defeated him in one strike, and it was a girl.
It was also after that that Zhou Wen stopped cultivating diligently and gave up on himself. Others believed that Zhou Wen was mentally weak and couldn't withstand setbacks and setbacks, but only Zhou Wen knew that his change had nothing to do with that failure. It was all because of the mysterious phone in his hand.
Zhou Wen looked down at the phone as he constantly controlled the blood-colored avatar to slay the black ants in the Ant Nest.
"Killed Mortal creature, Vigor Ant … Killed Mortal creature, Vigor Ant … Killed Mortal creature, Vigor Ant …"
Every time Zhou Wen killed an ant, a notification would appear on the screen as rows of notifications flashed rapidly.
"Ding!"
After killing an unknown number of Vigor Ants, he suddenly heard a clear sound. Then, a special notification appeared on the screen: 'Killed Mortal creature, Vigor Ant. Discovered Primordial Energy Crystal.'
Zhou Wen focused his gaze and indeed, he saw a crystalline diamond-like crystal drop after a Vigor Ant was killed. On the crystal was the number 5.
Zhou Wen was delighted as he hurriedly controlled the blood-colored avatar to pick up the Primordial Energy Crystal. When the Primordial Energy Crystal touched the blood-colored avatar's finger, it immediately transformed into a strange aura that drilled into the blood-colored avatar's body.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Wen felt a force enter his body from the phone. Like an electric shock, it rapidly filled his body with Primordial Energy.
The blood-colored avatar's Primordial Energy column also changed from 4 to 5.
After dimensional creatures were killed, there was a certain chance that they would drop all sorts of crystals. The most common ones were Strength, Speed, Constitution, and Primordial Energy crystals.
Using Strength Crystals could enhance a human's Strength. Using Speed Crystals could enhance one's Speed. The other crystals had similar effects.
However, in reality, crystals didn't display numbers. Humans couldn't see their stats either. After using Strength Crystals, they only knew that their Strength had increased, but they didn't know by how much.
