“Great… I guess I’ve thoroughly offended Jarvis today. Maybe I’ll run into an accident the moment I step out of the school gates!”

Looking at Jarvis and his lackeys leave, Fang Yuan shrugged and returned to the classroom.

Within the school grounds, Jarvis would not make obvious moves. At the very least, he would not do it personally and leave himself vulnerable.

In this world, there was also a dark side. Injuring a high school student so that he would not be able to take his college entrance exam was not a big deal.

“Only… they target people like me…”

Fang Yuan was helpless regarding this.

Just like how bullies chose their victims, Jarvis’s victims were people like Fang Yuan. They had no family but were outstanding students.

Even if they died, nobody would be concerned, giving him control over them.

If they were students with families, he would be warier. After all, communication was high-speed now, and he could be exposed anytime. That was not something to joke about.

“Unfortunately… the past Lin Meng was the type of person to be forgotten if he died in a ditch! Hmm… but that’s not the case now. I still owe Xiao Hongyue one million star dollars. If she doesn’t want to lose this sum of money, she can’t just leave me to die, nor can she watch my ability to pay her back be lost!”

Fang Yuan walked into the classroom. He decided to make a deal with Xiao Hongyue after class.

As for a woman’s innocence and purity? Haha, Fang Yuan did not care at all.

The longer one lived, the more they would know that in the face of life, that tiny bit of pride was meaningless.

The classroom was very quiet. Many students started putting on their goggles, doing simulation exams and studying.

Fang Yuan went to his seat but did not start studying. After all, he had an overclocked brain, and this bit of high school content was nothing more than child’s play for him.

As for crafting and practical combat ability, it would be a massive joke if he lost to any of these high school students.

“Stats window!”

He leaned on the chair and pulled up his stats window.

As he watched the familiar screen appear, Fang Yuan could not help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

This cheat that accompanied him was the only reason he had managed to climb so far. Even up until this point, it had never disappointed him.

A screen only he could see surfaced before him.

“Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)

Profession: Student

Cultivation: None

Brain Development: 170%

World Seal Breaking: 23.77%”

…

“Have I unlocked this much? I can finally see my stats. This speed is far beyond my imagination…”

Fang Yuan took a deep breath. His eyes were tranquil. “I wonder how the Abominable Lord is progressing?”

He had a massive conflict with the Abominable Lord. If he used his Dream Dao as he liked, both parties would be able to sense each other’s presence.

Of course, Fang Yuan had not been prepared for him at all. He would be at a disadvantage. However, in this world, they had the same starting point. And that changed everything.

The Abominable Lord was sly and cunning, so he would not expose himself easily. He had to be recovering his power quietly while exploring this world.

He might even be planning to reach the peak of his power.

If he were to do that, he would be able to mobilize many resources in this world, making it much easier to find Fang Yuan.

“I’ll use the Dream Master techniques as little as I can. He’s a Netherheaven Demon God, and I don’t know what he has planned…”

Fang Yuan blinked. “Since I can’t use the Dream Dao or the Dream Divination Technique… the material for the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique must be very close before I can sense it.”

This was the main reason why he wanted to enter a cultivation university no matter what.

Remaining on Planet Blue Ray was pointless. Furthermore, cultivation universities were the epitome of human intelligence. They had the best technologies and resources from the entire galaxy.

These universities probably had items related to the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique.

On top of that, Fang Yuan was very interested in this world’s extraordinary techniques.

“If I want to cultivate the Scientific Cultivation Method and the Arcane concurrently, I must be able to overclock my brain to 200%! It isn’t as simple as one plus one. Rather, it’s a qualitative change… 170% isn’t enough!”

That’s right! Fang Yuan’s brain development had reached 170% after using the Mind of Tranquility and injecting the low-tier brain development drug last night!

It was a number that would have scared Xiao Hongyue into a heart attack.

Even the Undead Immortals might not know that the human brain could overclock to this extent!

“By using this world’s meditation techniques and drugs, you can rapidly increase your brain development. If I coordinate them with my True Spirit technique as well, I can attempt concurrent cultivation!”

“Using meditation, I can push my brain development to 190%! If Xiao Hongyue’s words are true, this world has another opportunity to increase brain development at extraordinary advancement. Since I’m planning to dual advance, I should be able to push overclocking to 200%!”

Fang Yuan started calculating rapidly. “Hmm, what’s left is to score well in the college entrance exam, enter East Dragon University, and obtain information on the Scientific Cultivation Method…”

As for Jarvis?

He was nothing more than a pebble on the road that Fang Yuan was not much concerned with at all.

…

Of course, he had to despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically.

When class ended, Fang Yuan went to look for Xiao Hongyue and reported Jarvis’s behavior.

“He’s enslaving students by using contracts?” Xiao Hongyue remained silent for a while. “All right, Student Lin, you’ve provided me with a good piece of evidence… Unfortunately, as long as both parties have agreed, even if the conditions are unfavorable, there’s nothing we can do…”

“It’s just something I’m mentioning…” Fang Yuan scratched his head. “The main point is… after I rejected his offer, Jarvis was enraged. I’m scared that he’ll find someone to come after me…”

“Oh?” Xiao Hongyue hmphed as if it were none of her concern.

“So, I would like to request some tutoring from you for a few nights…” Fang Yuan smiled. “If I die or lose a limb, I don’t think I can pay back that one million…”

“Quit dreaming!” Xiao Hongyue rolled her eyes. Soon after, her expression turned serious. “An important guest will be coming to my villa tonight. I can’t take any more guests!”

Hmm? Who could it be to make her have such an expression? Is it her boyfriend or her father?

Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up. However, he tactfully chose not to ask.

Otherwise, with the quality of his current body, he would be beaten into a pig.

“Then, what about Jarvis?”

Fang Yuan gave a distressed look.

Currently, his stats window was not completely unlocked. It was indeed his weakest moment as a Demon God.

“Relax. I’ll give him a sound warning… He won’t dare make a move at this time!”

Xiao Hongyue seemed a little distracted and in a different state of mind than earlier.

“All right!” Fang Yuan agreed even though he was still perplexed.

However, he had already decided not to return to that dorm. He would not leave his fate in the hands of someone else. That was not a smart move at all.

…

Time passed quickly.

Soon, it was time for his college entrance exam.

Fang Yuan had put on a new school uniform and walked into school energetically.

“Brat… good job!”

Jarvis blocked Fang Yuan’s path with a vicious expression. This brat was really good at hiding! Once school was out, he disappeared immediately. He was very sly and did not return to his dorm, nor did he leave any information about his whereabouts. This had rendered many of his tactics useless.

“Do you think this is over?” He laughed coldly. “You better pray you get a good score… But I’m afraid that even if you enter a cultivation university, you won’t live long enough to get there!”

For matters to have extended this far, this was also far beyond Jarvis’s expectations.

An accident involving a high school student and one involving an enrolling student of a cultivation university were two completely different concepts.

“I…” Fang Yuan was exasperated. “There isn’t any feud between the two of us, right? Why do you insist on coming after me like this?”

“I don’t have a choice…” Jarvis shrugged. “I thought you were just a small figure at first. But it seems like you have the potential to rise to the top. Sadly, I’ve offended a person like you. If you make it into a cultivation university and become successful, will you choose not to take revenge? To eliminate this possibility, I can only do this!”

“That’s some logic…” Fang Yuan’s lips curled up. “I understand…”

He turned to leave. However, the look in his eyes turned icier with each passing moment.

Jarvis’s stubbornness had exceeded his expectations. Perhaps he considered Lin Meng as one of his mental demons.

It began with a small dispute. However, the two turned into enemies that had to fight to the death. The way matters escalated was simply laughable.

Jarvis probably intends to kill me even if he has to pay a huge price… Fang Yuan was equally determined*. In that case, I have no choice but to take care of him. Also, I want to obtain a protective talisman during the college entrance exam!*

A student admitted to a top university was treated differently from a top scholar of the college entrance exam.

Fang Yuan believed that if he emerged as the top scholar in Flying Rainbow City, there was no way Jarvis could make a move on him no matter how much he hated him.

For the old Lin Meng, he might have prioritized maintaining a neutral position, but Fang Yuan enjoyed going for the top. Their preferences were completely different.

“All students, please proceed to the exam hall! Keep quiet!”

Suddenly, many men dressed in black stood around the circumference of the school. They carried a dangerous air.

“The college entrance exam is a big matter for the Alliance. Planet Blue Ray’s headquarters has sent machines and the military to oversee the event…”

Fang Yuan stepped forward casually, accepting the examination as he walked into the exam hall.

The inspection was rigorous. Fang Yuan sensed three different types of energy waves interacting. There was a cultivator’s spiritual will, an Arcanist’s arcane investigation, and the scan from the machine.

There were small disturbances at the other entrances. They consisted of students who wished to cheat by some method but got exposed anyway.

When the final student entered the exam hall, the entire school was in lock-down. A vast protection array sealed the whole school.

Flying Rainbow City’s Year 20099 college entrance exam began!
