Actually, they simply refused to believe that Lu Shu could follow Li Yixiao to overseas remains .
Their perception on overseas remains was about the same as that of individual Practitioners, that they were equivalent to an upper-class party, accessible only by the elites . In other words, people would fall in love there and might even climb up the social ladder rapidly with the good items obtained inside .
In addition, they could also expand their network…
It was an overly simplistic and optimistic view because their network might stab them in the back too . For instance, bloodshed between Practitioners was not rare in the Koh Chang remains, and individual Practitioners were mercilessly enslaved by big organizations to serve as canaries in the mine . It taught everyone a lesson, that the cultivation world followed the rules of the jungle .
Thus, despite Lu Shu's good luck to be promoted to Class C, it still seemed unrealistic that he could leap into the international limelight in one shot .
Many people attributed other people's capacity in making money and promotion as luck, but to Nie Ting, true strength played an equal role in one's ability of constant awakening .
"Why did our Principal Li not do anything good inside? I have seen countless complaints against him on the forum but not a single post speaks favorably of him . Besides… it seems that he didn't plan to look for the relic at all…"
"Principal Li is a strange man…"

"Wah, have you seen these photos? Coral, the pearl of Northern Europe . How can one be so pretty without makeup?!" a girl said, her eyes beaming with admiration . Then, she showed the photos to other boys, who stole a few more looks without uttering a word…
Undeniably, she was gorgeous . In the photos, Coral appeared to be looking for someone in the crowd on the beach, but she failed . Thus, in the last few photos, disappointment emerged on her face .
Maybe every male across the world who had seen the photo was starting to wonder who Coral was looking for .
At this moment, they heard a voice from the door of the classroom . "Hey everyone! Long time no see!"
Startled, everyone turned back to see Lu Shu grinning at them from the door .
In the past, this low-key boy had rarely smiled so broadly, but he could not win everyone over with that…
"From Liu Li's distress, +666…"
"From Ye Lingling's distress, +282…"

"From Li Yuqing's distress, +211…"
"From…"
Lu Shu's face lit up at the influx of points . What a warm welcome party! Now, he was feeling guilty for not giving them any souvenirs from the remains in return for their enthusiasm .
However, given the infertile land of the Koh Chang remains, the only possible souvenirs that Lu Shu could think of were skulls under the altar of inferno blood devil… How auspicious .
Thinking of that, Lu Shu truly regretted it . If he really had done that, he might have been able to ignite the sixth star…
Instantly an awkward silence fell over the class and their heated conversation was cut short abruptly .
Lu Shu glanced over at Liu Li . "Eh, chairman, you've got your hair back . "

"From Liu Li's distress, +666…"
Liu Li's pathetic hairstyle had become luxuriant again . After Lu Shu returned to his own seat, Jiang Shuyi whispered, smiling, "Recently, many good-quality magic-rich lands have emerged in the city due to the regeneration of Spirit Qi . Perhaps Liu Li has also figured out the reason for his hair loss and thus his family has spent a fortune to get him a new magic-rich land . Coming back, how's your trip to the remains?"
When everyone was still guessing the identity of Li Yixiao's company, Jiang Shuyi had already learned the truth from his family .
Moreover, it had been some time since the end of the Koh Chang remains . Jiang Shuyi even knew that Lu Shu had the relic .
By right, anything obtained from the remains was supposed to be surrendered, including Li Yixiao's black dragon spear . It was only returned to him after the standard procedures, which were of high importance inside the system .
But Lu Shu had encountered something different . Except for the fact that Nie Ting had personally phoned him to prepare materials for a report, he mentioned nothing about the relic .
Unsure about whether it was due to the peculiarities of overseas remains, judging from now at least, the superiors of the Heavenly Network had silently agreed to let Lu Shu claim possession over the mask .
Just like the Seal of Lands, the mask too had a door that could not be pushed, pulled or dragged open .
Now, recalling his experience in the remains, Lu Shu replied, "Pretty good . But I believe I can do better if given a second chance…"
Jiang Shuyi's expression changed . Why was he giving a summary?
In the meantime, Lu Shu became the center of private discussion . People were interested in where he went and his sudden return . Even his act of exploding the basketball at noon had gained admiration from younger girls in the school .
Now, in spite of negative comments about Lu Shu's upstart-style cultivation journey, no one could deny his Class C capabilities . In the entire Luo Cheng Daoyuan Class, only two people had attained Class C and his military rank was even higher than most officers .
In addition, Cao Qingci was only awarded Captain after her ascension to Class C, which made it clear that Major rankings were not automatically granted to all Class C's . Usually, they would only become Captains without significant military contributions .
Thus, strictly speaking, every member of the Heavenly Network and Daoyuan Class in school had to salute to Lu Shu first, except for Li Yixiao…
Before his return, they could take it as Lu Shu had gone elsewhere but not the remains . But now, the pure coincidence between the ending of the remains and his reappearance, plus Li Yixiao's return to Luo Cheng just a day before, left little room for doubts .
Nonetheless, Lu Shu had come back to school not because of his eagerness for knowledge . Instead, Zhong Yutang had informed him that the preparation phase for admission into various special Practitioners colleges had been pushed forward .
