Half a month after the end of the Pattaya remains .
Luo Cheng Foreign Language School .
The afternoon sun of autumn caressed people's cheeks, gentle and cozy . Trees were gradually turning yellow . Withered leaves danced in circles on the floor as gushes of wind blew through the streets .
Luo Cheng used to be heavily industrialized until the start of this century . However, on the brighter side, the air quality had slowly improved ever since .
A group of students were playing basketball on the rubber-floored court, which was located in between the main gate and the classroom building . Thus, as boys were playing ball, they could also look at the pretty girls walking past the court . How convenient .
Outside the three-point line, a handsome boy leaped into the air, leaned back and attempted a jump shot . Yet, due to his insufficient strength, he failed, and the ball flew off its path .
The ball spun out of the court, about to hit the head of a young man who was passing by .
However, in the next instant, having sensed the imminent danger, the young man grabbed the ball back-handedly . The scene caught the attention of students on the court and also those rushing to their classrooms .

His reaction was so fast and smooth that it almost seemed like a natural reflex .
Then, under people's astonished stares, the ball came to an abrupt stop in his grip .
No one had seen something so unbelievable outside of videos .
The basketball players were stunned for a long moment before shouting over, "Hey! Pass the ball back!"
The young man hesitated, before pressing the ball inwards with both of his hands, grinning back . "Shouldn't you apologize first?"
Then, everyone could only stare as the ball slowly turned oval, before finally exploding into a layer of plastic skin . The young man threw it aside and continued walking to the classroom block…
"From Zhao Shuai's distress, +666…"
"From Li Yueyang's distress, +666…"
"From…"

Bloody hell! What kind of person was that? So what if he was a Metahuman?! Yes, we should have apologized first but you did not have to be so arrogant either!
In fact, many athletes were Metahumans too . Besides those who were fond of violence, many Metahumans were also passionate about sports such as basketball, soccer and baseball . Just a while ago, two strength-type Metahumans appeared on NBA Summer Season Talent Show . Their jumping ability and speed were unmatchable for other human rookies .
In addition, as basketball fans, they were even equipped with commendable playing skills!
The Union had once tried to ban Metahumans' involvement in basketball games . However, they were caught off guard when another NBA superstar awoke to his power and the Union was still in a heated discussion of how to deal with the matter even till today .
Some people proposed a basketball match specifically for Metahumans . But how big should the court be? Should they classify the matches into Class A, B, C, D, E, and F as well?
Sometimes, when the cultivation world overlapped with the commoners', the effect would not only be interesting, but also hilarious .
At the moment, those students felt rather grumpy about the incident . Who knew there was such a boorish person from some Daoyuan Class… Wait a minute, there was one indeed . But he had disappeared for a long time!

Class 2, Grade 12 . There was still half an hour till afternoon lessons . Now, many students were engaged in a discussion on the Koh Chang remains .
In fact, the number of remains that had opened thus far had already exceeded double digits and each and every one of them would result in vehement conversations . For example, they talked about who got the relic, what kind of skirmishes broke out inside and which organization had the strongest fighters .
Gradually, websites had been set up specially dedicated to the collection of information in this aspect . However, the knowledge available was too little and such news was for entertainment only .
But maybe one day there would be an official ranking of powers for the cultivation realm . Perhaps the Golden Foundation and the Darkness Kingdom already had enough information .
"The news said that two men from our Heavenly Network entered the Koh Chang remains this time . One of them is our principal Li Yixiao…"
"Yea… Didn't you see how many complaints were launched against him on the Golden Foundation forum by individual Practitioners? Allegedly he rolled in over a thousand gargoyles and ran around causing trouble . I think it's probably true . Based on his awful personality, I'm sure he's capable of doing that . "
"Wah have you read the article on the man named Zhi Wei? He's from the Golden Foundation, a Class B thunder-type Metahuman . He actually held back the gargoyles for three minutes on his own! When he got out of the remains, he had yet to recover to his usual state!" a girl shouted, "He's so handsome based on his photos!"
Jealous, a boy replied, "You girls are so naive . You like whoever you see!"
Suddenly, their conversation was interjected, "Eh, look . This post says that the identity of the other Heavenly Network member that went to the remains is still unclear . So far they haven't found any useful information . But there have been some clues and the search is still ongoing . "
Another person was puzzled . "So Principal Li was not accompanied by a Heavenly King?"
In their impression, it would only be sensible if both of them were Heavenly Kings, who were believed to be the strongest in the country disregarding other factors .
"An unfamiliar Class A has just emerged! And he stole the relic from the Golden Foundation on his first appearance! Wow!"
Suddenly another person asked, "Speaking of which, all Class A aptitude geniuses went to the Capital together for progress report . Now, Cao Qingci has successfully ascended to Class C and she is already back at school . But why isn't Lu Shu back yet?"
Everyone froze . Right, Lu Shu had never come back after the summer holidays and his only appearance was during the rank presentation . Then, he had gone missing again after he received his Major badge…
It felt very strange that a mugger who went to lessons on time everyday suddenly disappeared from class . They also heard that their form teacher, Shi Qingyan, was very worried about his End of Year Bonus Points recently because Lu Shu's absence had dealt a severe impact on the average performance of his class .
"Haha, do you think he's the one who followed Principal Li to the Koh Chang remains?" someone said half-jokingly . But then he realized the everyone was stunned in place . Right, there was indeed a possibility!
The rapport between Li Yixiao and Lu Shu was widely known . Besides, as a Class C, Lu Shu was perfectly powerful enough to compete in the overseas remains .
Despite this, no one was willing to believe it . "Haha, how's that possible? Why would they send Lu Shu instead of the genius, Cao Qingci?"
