391: The first person to be eliminated

"Master... Master! What should we do?" Looking at the familiar surroundings, Zhuge Rizhao was terrified at this moment.

Back in school, he was always at the bottom, the worst student in his class according to his teachers.

And now...

He was back in a nightmarish place.

At this moment, Zhuge Rizhao was utterly bewildered and helpless.

He could only rely on his sole pillar of support, his cheap Master!

"No choice, we just have to endure it!"

Facing Zhuge Rizhao's plea for help, Chu Mo was also at a loss.

As the former designer of the Xuanxiao Sect's third-year Instances (dungeon) in high school, no one understood the school dungeon better than he did.

It was truly almost unsolvable.

You could only tough it out!

Of course, there was also the most direct and brutal method: directly breaking this world with absolute power.

But then, another problem arose.

If they had that kind of power, why would they need to enter this Secret Realm in the first place?

Thus...

An unsolvable situation appeared!

To leave, they could only follow the mechanism.

Zhuge Changde and Fei Wu did not take this assessment seriously, only thinking that the two of them had never seen the world and were scared by the Wen Sheng Secret Realm's gimmick.

"Sage of Literature! The Wen Sheng Secret Realm! This is so much better than other Secret Realms. Look at the last school rule: here, we won't die, which means it's not as full of murderous intent as other Secret Realms.

Ah! A powerful being who attained Dao through literature is truly different!"

While comforting the two of them, Fei Wu also lamented the Sage of Literature's benevolence.

Inside the Secret Realm, there were countless Opportunities.

And countless struggles, as well as infinite dangers.

How could it be like this now?

Everyone sitting harmoniously in the school hall, calmly passing the assessment, and then smoothly receiving the Legacy and leaving the Secret Realm.

Was there anything easier than this?

"I hope you can still smile later!" Chu Mo glanced at him, then stopped paying attention to the outside world.

Rule One stated very clearly that they needed to complete their studies as Mortals!

However, although Rule One specified studying as Mortals, the cautious Chu Mo still thoroughly investigated his current physical condition, inside and out.

"My body has returned to a normal person's state, my Divine Soul has also fully returned to a normal person's, and my brain's computational power has also returned to normal levels. Phew, now I'm stable!"

After thoroughly checking his own situation, Chu Mo finally relaxed.

Now everyone has returned to their true selves, even if you are an Immortal King, you still have to obediently attend class, listen carefully, and dive into a sea of practice questions.

The experienced Chu Mo was now recalling the school rules in his mind.

However, he did not believe that merely completing their studies would allow them to leave here.

Soon, he found a school rule that contained little information but hinted at a hidden rule.

"Xinhua High School's 10086th school rule: This school is the most excellent high school in the world, and it will cultivate the most excellent talents in the world. Please prove yourselves with your grades."

Most excellent.

What does "most excellent" mean?

First place!

How do you get first place?

Compete, compete them to death!

However, Chu Mo could not openly study hard in front of these people now, otherwise, if he prematurely triggered an internal competition craze, he would also struggle greatly.

Beside him, Zhuge Rizhao, having overcome his initial panic, had now calmed down.

"I'm someone who fought my way out of school; there's no reason I'd be worse than these old fogeys!"

Thinking this, Zhuge Rizhao was about to start flipping through books to review his lessons in advance.

However, his action was stopped by Chu Mo.

"If you start reading now, it will trigger a chain reaction. While they haven't reacted yet, let's play it safe. Now everyone has become Mortals and is on the same starting line. With our experience, we can get a good head start on them.

And once the lessons begin, they will fall behind. One step slow, every step slow; they won't be able to catch up to our progress! And we need to create a false impression for them, an illusion that everyone is a bad student!"

"So that's how it is." Zhuge Rizhao was inwardly shocked, realizing his cheap Master was truly cunning.

Next, Chu Mo occasionally joked, boasted, and chatted with Zhuge Rizhao to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, meant to deceive others.

At the same time, Chu Mo also constantly observed the rear with the corner of his eye.

Acquaintances!

Old acquaintances!

At the same time, a figure quietly approached them from behind while the two of them were chatting and laughing, holding a chair high and smashing it towards Chu Mo's back of the head.

Bang!

The chair crashed heavily to the ground.

The person who tried to ambush Chu Mo also fell to the ground, clutching his head and wailing repeatedly.

A white piece of chalk fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Chu Mo glanced at Lü Fan on the ground and said to him with a smile, "Are you stupid? Don't you read the school rules? Rule number two clearly states that fighting is not allowed in school!"

"But it's good, what you did also served to test for me what kind of punishment one receives for violating the school rules!"

Chu Mo had actually discovered Lü Fan, who wanted to ambush him, a long time ago.

Upon entering the classroom, his first action was to survey everyone in the classroom.

This class had a total of 64 people.

Zhuge Rizhao, Zhuge Changde, Fei Wu, and Lü Fan were all people he knew.

As for the others, he didn't know any of them!

At this moment, Chu Mo ignored Lü Fan on the ground and instead looked gloatingly towards the doorway.

A middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses was walking into the classroom with a textbook.

Hmm, this is very teacher-like!

"Teacher, I want to report that classmate Lü Fan hit me with a chair!" Chu Mo raised his hand and reported to the entering teacher.

The teacher pushed up her glasses, nodded slightly at Chu Mo, and then pronounced judgment on Lü Fan.

"Classmate Lü Fan violated school rules on the first day of school. You will be responsible for cleaning the classroom, playground, and restrooms for this entire month. Additionally, you will stand in punishment outside the classroom for this month as a warning to others!"

"Yes!" Lü Fan originally thought this teacher would kill him, but to his surprise, the other party only gave him such a minor punishment.

Under the teacher's gaze, Lü Fan got up and walked out of the classroom, but as he passed Chu Mo's seat, he paused and looked at Chu Mo with extremely hateful eyes: "The score between the two of us won't end this easily. Just wait! Once we leave here, I'll have the Holy Master kill you!"

"I'll be waiting for you!" Chu Mo responded with a smile, his gaze falling on a corner.

There was an old man there.

This old man had a brief exchange with Lü Fan when they first entered the classroom.

"He should be the Immortal King who stopped Senior Zhuge in the imperial palace. That's quite interesting!"

After just one glance at this Immortal King, Chu Mo no longer paid him any mind.

In other Secret Realms, an Immortal King could be arrogant and powerful, but here, even an Immortal King had to honestly attend school!

"Master, why did that guy try to ambush you?" Zhuge Rizhao asked curiously.

"He's a Transmigrator, carrying a Golden Finger. We had some minor grudges before..."

"Eh? Is he a Transmigrator too? Then between fellow countrymen, even with minor grudges, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Maybe he's just petty..."

Chu Mo watched Lü Fan's departing back with deep eyes.

When he first annihilated the Holy Land where Lü Fan resided, he also used benefits to entice a force to hunt him down.

What he didn't expect was that Lü Fan still didn't die after all that... "I can't kill him here! I'll just have to find an Opportunity to increase the difficulty for him!"

The punishment for Lü Fan just now seemed light, but in Chu Mo's view, Lü Fan was already out of the game.

Standing in punishment outside the classroom for an entire month, how could he catch up on the missed lessons?

The subsequent second playthrough would not be as easy to pass as the first. By then, everyone would have reacted, and under the internal competition craze, the difficulty of leaving here would increase exponentially.

Just as he was thinking, the teacher on the podium spoke.

"There are five minutes left until class starts. I don't want anyone in our class to be unconventional, trying out any fashion trends, visual kei, or cosplay!"

After speaking, she sat on the podium, drinking water from her thermos.

Chu Mo: "..."

These NPCs in this school are really damn realistic!

"Master..." Zhuge Rizhao was about to speak when he saw Chu Mo take an unopened package from his desk and then hurriedly leave the classroom.

Zhuge Rizhao dared not be careless, also pulled out a package from his desk, and followed Chu Mo's footsteps.

Zhuge Changde and Fei Wu were still puzzled.

"Brother Changde, where are they going?"

"I'm not sure! But I have a bad feeling!"
