Chapter 663: Chen Yan, are you listening?

As for Lu Cheng, it was when Chen Yan killed the Dark-Craving Mother Tree that his power of will erupted, and Lu Cheng, who was in the Kumeng Micheng, also awakened the path of will.

Lu Fukun furrowed his brows and pointed to a spot on the draft:

"What is this here?"

"This is a rule point of the Kumeng Micheng, which can produce rule cards," Chen Yan said.

"And here?"

"This is the room where Lu Jianxia is in seclusion."

"And here?"

"This is..."

Lu Fukun asked many questions in a row, but Chen Yan answered them one by one.

Lu Fukun's expression grew increasingly somber.

Either this person was indeed Yu Laiwei.

Or, Chen Yan's side had infiltrated the Kumeng Micheng to an extremely terrifying degree.

Damn it.

"In this room, who did you speak to and what did you say?"

Lu Fukun gritted his teeth and pointed to a room.

At this moment, Lu Jianxia also focused her attention.

All along, Lu Fukun had not revealed his identity; if even these things were known to this 'Yu Laiwei',

then everything had become unfathomable.

Chen Yan looked at Lu Fukun and smiled faintly:

"So you are Lu Fukun."

Lu Fukun's expression changed instantly; could it be that the other party knew about the conversation between Yu Laiwei and himself?

"In this room, I once said that I would use my spatial mechanical array to deal with Chen Yan."

Chen Yan said calmly.

Lu Fukun fell silent.

The matter inside this room was also truthfully stated by that Yu Laiwei.

Who exactly was the real Yu Laiwei?

Lu Fukun was completely bewildered.

Chen Yan continued:

"Someone is impersonating me?"

Lu Fukun was speechless; he was lost.

Chen Yan continued:

"Now, can you analyze who is real and who is fake?"

Lu Fukun wore a look like he was about to cry, then turned around and signaled for Lu Jianxia to leave with him.

Chen Yan continued:

"Whether you believe me or not is unimportant; you only need to know that what I intend to do is resolve the danger we are encountering here."

Lu Fukun took a deep look at Chen Yan, then left with Lu Jianxia.

Chen Yan's expression was calm as he continued to walk through the corridor.

As for Lu Jianxia and Lu Fukun, they had arrived at the corner of the corridor.

"I can't tell anymore," Lu Fukun said with a bitter smile:

"Both people can state the information I know; the more this is the case, the more I am certain that one of these two people is Chen Yan."

Lu Jianxia's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly:

"You are actually this certain?"

Lu Fukun nodded:

"An enemy who can know all the intelligence I know—I don't know who else it could be besides Chen Yan."

Lu Jianxia frowned slightly:

"Is Chen Yan already that powerful in your heart?"

"It is not just in my heart, but in everyone's heart. Princess Jianxia may not know, but in fact, all the Creation Realm experts in Lu Province today have a feeling that Chen Yan is invincible."

Lu Fukun looked at Lu Jianxia and said:

"Chen Yan is beyond imagination in certain aspects. If Princess Jianxia had not lost her memories, you would surely agree with this statement of mine.

This person is the greatest genius in human history.

It is very likely that he is your desk-mate; besides him, I cannot think of anyone else who could fare so well in such an environment."

A trace of surprise emerged in Lu Jianxia's heart.

Now, she could actually empathize with Lu Fukun's current mood.

But why would that desk-mate who helped her twice be Chen Yan?

If the other party were an enemy, why would he help her?

After all, her, Lu Jianxia's, true body was still in the process of ascending to the eighth rank.

She was third on the Creation Realm Ranking, and after ascending to the eighth rank, she would also be an extremely powerful eighth-rank expert.

Helping a future eighth-rank enemy is simply not something an enemy Heavenly God General should do.

Lu Jianxia still did not want to view someone who had helped her as an enemy.

"Then why does Uncle Xunyang want to kill Chen Yan?" Lu Jianxia asked.

Lu Fukun was startled and spoke:

"This is also the part that your subordinate does not understand."

Lu Fukun shook his head and looked at Lu Jianxia:

"Furthermore, Princess, do not address Lu Xunyang as Imperial Uncle again; this person is a great enemy of our Lu Province."

At the same time.

In the hallway, the Fatty Principal was full of majesty; wherever he passed, the voices of all the students talking became much quieter.

A male student came before the Fatty Principal:

"Principal, I would like to apply to become the Student Council President."

The male student had an ordinary appearance, but within that pair of eyes, there was an extreme indifference.

When he appeared, the other students in the hallway all looked at him with cold eyes.

This person was Chen Changyuan.

He had not hidden his identity from the beginning.

The Fatty Principal glanced at the male student indifferently:

"I have already said it, no one can compare to Yu Laiwei!!!"

His voice was extremely loud, like the roar of ten thousand thunders.

But Chen Changyuan only watched quietly, with pitch-black illusions manifesting within his pupils.

The Principal was stunned, a trace of confusion flashing:

"Dream..."

He opened his mouth wide, his body trembling continuously, and then he looked at the male student and said:

"You come with me to the office."

Chen Changyuan nodded; his gaze was indifferent as he looked around, keeping his eyes locked on Chen Yan, who was still at the end of the hallway.

Chen Yan's expression was calm.

It seemed that his own position as Student Council President was somewhat insecure.

It was just a pity that back at the Divine General Temple on Ten Thousand Aspects Island, Chen Yan had not killed Chen Changyuan.

After experiencing Ten Thousand Aspects Island, this person seemed to have obtained a great opportunity and was walking a path opposite to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's heart sank slightly; he did not continue to linger in the teaching building but instead returned directly to the infirmary.

Lying on the hospital bed, Chen Yan took out the piece of paper that Lu Xunyang had given him once more and began to observe the entire school.

The school's firmament was covered by scarlet clouds, with a giant, deformed heart suspended in the center, dripping pitch-black hair that clung to the martial artists.

Soon, Chen Yan discovered something.

The hair that had originally clung to his body and turned transparent was now, as if rejuvenated, showing black color again.

This black color was still continuously becoming more intense.

In a few days, these hairs clinging to Chen Yan would also completely return to how they were at the very beginning.

Chen Yan's heart sank.

He looked out the window again.

The entire land was like a blood-red wall of flesh, with veins like meat sausages running across it.

Chen Yan looked at the place in the infirmary where medicine was stored against the wall.

There, pitch-black bananas contained surging Qi-blood energy and malice, appearing as if they had grown out from the wall of flesh itself.

Chen Yan observed carefully, his line of sight following the roots of these bananas as they spread, until he saw these roots appear on the playground, and then continue to spread outside the school.

All the nutrients these bananas needed came from outside the school.

Chen Yan's heart stirred slightly.

Within the school, the restrictions he faced would only grow greater; now, if he wanted to seek a glimmer of opportunity, the only way was to leave the school.

But the school clearly would not let students leave.

Chen Yan held the white paper with one hand, placing it before his eyes, scanning the entire school until he saw the security office at the school gate.

Inside the security office, a black dog covered in pitch-black flesh spikes was pacing back and forth.

The next instant, the black dog looked toward Chen Yan, its pair of beast eyes brewing with indescribable violence.

Chen Yan took down the white paper from before his eyes.

Inside the security office was a kind old man, who was smiling and waving at Chen Yan from afar.

Chen Yan smiled and returned the gesture, then continued to lie on the hospital bed.

Now, as for his own identity, the Five Clans side could not confirm it, so they would not come out to cause trouble.

The Great Xia side would also be slowly united by Shen Yiwei to provide assistance to Chen Yan.

The trouble in this regard could be considered resolved.

Unexpectedly, another Chen Changyuan had popped up.

Chen Yan had to hurry.

Time passed slowly.

By the afternoon, the injuries on Chen Yan's body had already healed under his deliberate control.

A new strand of Qi-blood from his own universe had also been completely born.

A powerful feeling was brewing within Chen Yan's body.

This illusion world did not mean that everyone's power had been stripped away.

Rather, it was suppressed.

As Chen Yan's strength increased, it would also be reflected within this world.

At the very least, the Chen Yan at the beginning was more than twice as strong as a normal adult male in the world.

Now, it has reached three times.

It continued until nightfall.

The school doctor walked into the room and smiled at Chen Yan:

"Yu Laiwei, you need to go back to your dormitory to sleep."

Chen Yan replied:

"My illness hasn't healed yet."

The school doctor shook his head and said:

"That won't do; another student is injured and must be admitted to the infirmary."

Chen Yan frowned, but crying sounds had already begun to ring out in the corridor.

"Look at how thin this child is; treat him well."

That was the principal's voice.

Soon, Chen Changyuan and the principal walked into the infirmary.

Chen Yan and Chen Changyuan exchanged a glance, then immediately stood up.

"Yu Laiwei, hey, you go back first." The principal looked at Chen Yan with a helpless smile.

Chen Yan nodded, then brushed past Chen Changyuan.

Inside the infirmary, the principal's voice could be heard:

"You must treat this child well; after all these years, this child has truly suffered."

"Principal, regarding the matter of the Student Council President..."

"This... Yu Laiwei is also quite good, why don't we consider it further?"

Listening to this, a murderous intent surfaced in the depths of Chen Yan's eyes.

Ancient Divine Beasts only show such affection toward other Ancient Divine Beasts.

Chen Changyuan is not an Ancient Divine Beast, but he is already as good as one.

Moreover, the other party seems to have some special relationship with the Dream-Eating Tapir, the creator of the illusion.

Chen Yan returned to the dormitory building; the teacher conducting the bed check happened to see Chen Yan and brought him into a dormitory room.

Chen Yan entered and found it was actually a single room.

Chen Yan sat cross-legged, and after an hour passed, a scream rang out in the hallway.

"You're still not asleep, you're still not asleep, go copy poems for me!!!"

This voice was extremely shrill.

Chen Yan felt a chill in his heart; he had been sitting cross-legged on the bed, but he immediately laid down to sleep.

Very soon.

The door to Chen Yan's room was opened; Chen Yan kept his eyes closed, but he still felt a fishy stench wash over him.

Some kind of warm, damp, and sticky thing kept moving closer to Chen Yan's body, stopping only when it was three millimeters from the tip of his nose.

It was as if it were staring at Chen Yan from such close proximity.

The sound of low breathing came from that very close distance.

Chen Yan could even feel the sensation of hair brushing against his cheek.

If nothing went wrong, as long as Chen Yan opened his eyes, he would see a pair of scarlet, bloodshot eyes.

The low breathing continued for nearly a minute before it finally left.

Soon, Chen Yan's door closed once again.

Chen Yan opened his eyes, sat up, and looked out the window.

After a while, the old man from the security office left the security room and was using a flashlight to scan every corner of the school.

The next instant.

A fierce beam of light shone directly toward Chen Yan; the light passed through the glass of Chen Yan's room, illuminating the entire ceiling of the room brightly.

Chen Yan leaned against the wall by the window without making a sound.

Soon, the light disappeared.

Chen Yan looked downstairs again; the security guard walked past the dormitory building and headed toward the sports field behind it.

Two hours later.

Chen Yan's door was opened once again.

That entity conducting the bed check arrived once more, moved close to Chen Yan, observed him for a long time, and then left.

Click.

The door closed again.

Chen Yan opened his eyes, the coldness in his heart growing ever more intense.

It was right at this moment.

Click.

The door that had been tightly shut suddenly opened, revealing a crack.

A blood-red eye was wedged in the middle of that crack, and an extremely repressed voice rang out:

"I know you are still awake."

The voice grew colder and more twisted, as if countless ravings were woven together.

"The Student Council President must lead by example, you know.

If I find you haven't slept next time, that won't do at all."

The voice suddenly grew soft.

Immediately, the room door closed once more.

Time passed slowly.

Until the next day.

In class.

Lu Jianxia looked at Chen Yan several times, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

She had been waiting for her desk-mate to speak first.

However, things went against her wishes.

Until a certain moment, when Lu Jianxia used a pen to write a few words on the desk.

【I believe in you.】

But Chen Yan did not reply, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep thought.

Soon, the class began.

"Begin the dictation!"

The female teacher arrived in the classroom and spoke to everyone.

In an instant, an extremely low and heavy feeling swept through the entire school.

Endless killing intent and rage erupted in the eyes of all the martial artists.

Rage.

Rage!

Boom!!!

Inside the classroom next door, a booming sound rang out.

Someone had resisted.

But they were quickly suppressed.

A student was dragged out of the classroom by the teacher.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

An extremely shrill scream echoed through the school.

Amidst the struggle, that roar contained endless rage.

"Creation Realm beings are treated like pigs and dogs, the human race like insects and ants; as long as malice exists for one day, the human race will never have peace!"

"How much longer... will you continue to fight amongst yourselves!"

"Do you see clearly now?!"

That voice was extremely tragic, piercing into people's hearts.

"My Great Xia Heavenly General will surely change all of this!!!"

"May my human race be forever free of malice!!!"

"Chen Yan, Chen Yan, are you listening?"

"I believe you can change all of this!!!"

"Only you can!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Lu Jianxia's expression trembled; although she was a member of the Five Clans, she felt something growing in the depths of her heart.

She looked at her desk-mate.

This person.

Is it Chen Yan?

It doesn't look like it.

After all, that Great Xia Creation Realm being died so miserably, yet this person had no expression at all.

He is Yu Laiwei.

Lu Jianxia thought this, and was even able to be certain of it.

Time passed slowly.

Suddenly, her desk-mate began to write a few words on the desk.

Lu Jianxia focused her attention to look.

【I am going to leave the school.】

These were the words her desk-mate had written.

PS: I seem to have been an idiot and set this to post on a timer; this was supposed to be released yesterday, damn it.
