Chapter 48 - 45: Found a Wild Saint
CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 45: FOUND A WILD SAINT
A few classmates were chatting, and suddenly shifted to another topic.
"Hey, why hasn’t Xu Changsheng arrived yet? Is he planning to arrive just on time because he’s scared?"
"No idea."
As usual, they started attacking Xu Changsheng.
These people were all under Li Chengshan’s wing, so naturally, they helped with the attacks.
After all, everyone knew Li Chengshan was interested in the school beauty, right?
For a family like Li Chengshan’s, even though they haven’t produced a third-tier powerhouse.
Due to a successful investment in the past, one of the three brain-damaged idiots became formidable.
Now, they are trusted under the leadership of a third-tier bigwig, being high-level executives of a small company.
They’re already peak second-tier in terms of family status.
They aren’t lacking in resources; they’re just missing a true third-tier successor to advance the family.
Before long.
Xu Changsheng arrived just on time.
Along with him came a barrage of ridicule.
"Oh, our top scholar has arrived. Didn’t you bet on your mock test scores before? The loser would have to kneel and apologize, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, have you really gotten smart? Where did a second-tier get that from?"
"Hmph." Xu Changsheng sat at the back near the window in silence.
Liu Jun still shrank in a corner, silently watching:
"School pressure is high. Cyber psychosis is rampant, leading to more bullying."
Today, Liu Jun watched Xu Changsheng, who had undergone a drastic personality change, for the first time.
It always felt like something wasn’t right.
But when observed closely, seemed quite ordinary.
No, no.
Liu Jun suddenly felt his Longevity and Vision had some special reaction.
"This guy, indeed, has some issues." Liu Jun noted silently.
Soon, the health class began.
This time, the health class involved a high school entrance physical examination.
Nowadays, the three main subjects in high school are: Physical Education, Health, and Music.
The physical education teacher, the homeroom teacher who taught Telekinesis, Si Anhe, usually conducted at least two physical education classes a day, doing acid rain running, acid rain swimming...
As for the health teacher?
Usually stationed in the school’s medical room.
Students often had neural damage, and if not for the health teachers regularly "topping off their brains", they would truly become mentally handicapped.
Yes.
"Topping off the brain", in a physical sense.
The music class was for relieving mental fatigue and providing psychological counseling.
Reading too much in a short time could easily confuse one’s consciousness, immersing them in the book’s world, and lead to irritability syndrome.
You could see this from how they mocked Xu Changsheng.
The physical examination concluded quickly.
The class was followed by a music session, easing the mind.
The classes ended at around 10 a.m. If they didn’t want to continue studying, they could go home to study independently, and no one would care.
"Liu Jun, are you going home?" Li Feng asked.
"Yeah, I’m planning to." Liu Jun packed various materials from his desk, intending to take them all home, as they wouldn’t be used anymore.
"Then go ahead; I’ll bring you lunch later." Zou Anmeng said.
Liu Jun bid farewell to them and left with his umbrella.
Treading through the rain to the school gate, Liu Jun looked at the gray sky: "I wonder where Insect Thirteen is hiding now?"
"I kinda miss it. Lately, it’s all on me to shoulder the era, frantically collecting cards at night, breaking equipment."
"This phase of species explosion’s Wisdom Disaster is rather annoying."
"However, his wife came back to life, isn’t it like gazing at each other across a Jurassic epoch?"
As Liu Jun sighed, his gaze suddenly caught Xu Changsheng, who was also preparing to exit from the school gate.
This was another one of those obsessed with their device.
His consciousness seemed immersed in the Intelligent Brain.
Liu Jun, on a whim, stealthily and silently infiltrated his Intelligent Brain using "Vanish", and checked his online account.
Liu Jun was slightly surprised:
[Great Dream of Longevity]
The online analysis master, was actually Xu Changsheng?
...
...
Walking for a while through the rain, Xu Changsheng boarded the tram.
He had been feeling uneasy lately:
"I purposefully posted to unveil the buried history and expose the hidden manipulator, trying to get the Angel King to contact me, but he didn’t react at all?"
Posting as [Great Dream of Longevity], he was also fishing.
No one knew his secret.
He was an Innate Saint who seized Xu Changsheng.
That day, Xu Changsheng was rejected from a marriage proposal, went to see the school beauty, got rejected coldly, and jumped into the wilderness river alone, inadvertently touching his ancient tomb and got possessed by him.
Since he obtained his body, he had to fulfill his obsession!
Every Saint has a unique soul talent, and his was: Longevity.
He was a Saint from the Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago, who possessed the reincarnation ability of endless sleep and rebirth.
Each rebirth required re-cultivation.
In one life, he once discussed Dao with Lv Weng in A Dream of Millet Porridge, personally witnessing the stunningly talented genius establish the Dao Field, allowing other untalented scholars to cultivate Spiritual Power and usher in the era of scholar cultivation.
Later, in one life he also witnessed the major aristocratic families, which he helped rise, become corrupt, assisted the Saint who "trampled the bones of nobles in Heaven’s Streets", and killed over 100 established aristocratic families, eradicating centuries-old noble lineages completely.
In one life, he even followed treasure ships crossing oceans.
In another life, he followed a monk overseas, making many friends, leaving behind numerous native myths, with holy elephants and divine bulls, worshipped till today.
In history, he also left many secret factions and forces.
But now, the forces left behind had betrayed him.
If his origin were exposed, he’d be secretly wanted by today’s major corporations, desiring to factory-produce him as a model...
Don’t underestimate these companies and their obsession with new Intelligent Brain models!
Now he believes this Angel King is on his side!
Both slept from ancient times to the present, wanting to change this corrupt world and coveted by big companies wanting to put them on assembly lines!
Thus, he posted to lure that Angel King.
Also, he didn’t fear being found out about posting.
Because the internal talents of the company are many, they probably analyzed the hidden hand as Insect Seventy-seven even earlier.
When he posts, they don’t care either.
Yet, the Angel King didn’t care about him either.
That’s a bit dull!
Even the company couldn’t track this person, how could he?
"I thought I was a long-lived saint."
"But didn’t expect someone prehistoric?"
Xu Changsheng sighed lightly, finding it incredible.
There really is always a hill higher than the last.
His power is very concealed.
Only the pinnacle beings from Rehe Heavy Industry, to descend personally, could sense his anomaly.
But if nothing serious happens, why would they come to the hinterland of the impoverished Rehe City?
Now, he begins to ponder his path.
Little Fatty is very kind to him, and naturally needs to help him in the future.
And he needs to investigate the true culprit behind his parents’ mysterious deaths.
As for the school beauty?
What kind of beauties hasn’t he seen, why would he care about these enchanting skulls?
But his parents’ incident might also be related to the other party.
He kept organizing his thoughts, returned to his room, not intending to do so but gradually fell into a dream.
A while later,
a voice came from the room:
"Picked up a wild Saint, everyone, he wants to come home with me."
