Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

With Lin Chen's departure, the rankings on the list of those who deserve to be killed have been changed.

Chu Zihang, a senior high school student, has regained the top spot.

As an exceptionally outstanding A-grade hybrid, Chu Zihang's excellence needs no further explanation.

Characters in novels who are expressionless yet wield knives are top-tier combatants.

Chu Zihang was no exception.

Lin Chen first tidied himself up a bit, changed into some more casual clothes, and then came to the outside of Shilan Middle School.

It was during school hours inside, so unauthorized personnel couldn't possibly enter.

But for Lin Chen, the use of the Word of Power Time Zero rendered the security guards and electric sliding gates completely ineffective.

As Lin Chen entered the campus, he could hear noises coming from the direction of the basketball court from afar.

Lin Chen walked closer and found that a basketball game was being held inside.

That was a game of the school's men's basketball team. The players were charging left and right on the court, looking for opportunities to score layups.

Basketballs kept hitting the basket, and the numbers on the scoreboard kept changing.

However, it is clear that this is a match with a huge disparity in strength.

As the game progressed into the fourth quarter, one team's score was only 30, while the other team's score was as high as 78!

With only a few minutes left, it's virtually impossible to turn the tide in such a short time unless it's a McGrady moment throughout the entire game.

Lin Chen arrived at the stadium's stands, which were already filled with spectators and cheerleaders.

With no seats available, Lin Chen stood on the sidelines.

The score continued to widen, and all the spectators' eyes were on that agile figure.

Light blue hair, and a near-perfect physique with undulating muscles.

Even as he gasped for breath, his expression remained completely unchanged.

Chu Zihang!

The key player of the Shilan Secondary School basketball team has scored a high score of 60 points in this basketball game, and has made countless steals and rebounds.

Although the match is not over yet, everyone knows that it is a match with no suspense.

With Chu Zihang on the team, they are bound to be the ultimate winners.

The cheerleaders were ready to cheer, but Chu Zihang remained calm.

With one minute left in the game, Chu Zihang drove to the basket and slammed the ball into the hoop with a beautiful dunk.

The score settled at 88 to 32, and the entire stadium erupted in applause.

The cheerleaders made synchronized celebratory gestures, and Chu Zihang's teammates also high-fived in celebration.

Only Chu Zihang stood silently in place, staring at the basketball bouncing repeatedly after landing.

The game is over, and nobody cares about basketball anymore.

The basketball rolled down to Lin Chen's feet.

Lin Chen reached out and picked up the ball, just as he met Chu Zihang's gaze.

Chu Zihang's eyes glazed over for a moment, and he subconsciously murmured, "Senior Lin Chen?"

The audience noticed something was amiss and turned their attention to Lin Chen, at which point many fans gasped in surprise.

"Oh my god! Isn't that Senior Lin Chen? Didn't he already graduate? I heard he went to a private Ivy League university overseas, but he's back!"

"In my lifetime, Lin Chen was my idol when he was still in school. I never thought I would see him again!"

"I'm only a first-year high school student, I don't know this person. Besides being somewhat handsome, what else is he good at?"

"You're clearly ignorant! You know the list of those who deserve to be killed, right? First it was Lin Chen, and then Chu Zihang!"

"To put it simply, if Lin Chen hadn't graduated, how could Chu Zihang's name have even appeared on the list of those who deserve to be killed!"

"Chu Zihang is already very good at basketball. When Lin Chen was in school, his highest score in a single game was over seventy points! He was even better than Chu Zihang!"

"This Lin Chen is kind of handsome, I'd love to go up and chat him up!"

"..."

44: Chu Zihang, the expressionless junior brother! Xia Mi, who appears only briefly!

The spectators around them started whispering amongst themselves, and Chu Zihang couldn't help but move closer to Lin Chen.

"Senior Lin Chen, what are you doing here?"

Lin Chen looked at Chu Zihang, a rather outstanding character in the original work, who was now just an ordinary senior high school student.

Lin Chen used to study here, and Chu Zihang was a grade below Lin Chen.

At that time, the basketball team of Shilan Middle School was dominated by Lin Chen. After Lin Chen graduated, Chu Zihang, the number two, took over.

Now, Chu Zihang looks at his former elder brother. Although his expression is still indifferent, his attitude is obviously much better.

Lin Chen said, "Are you free? I'd like to have a chat with you!"

Chu Zihang nodded: "The game is over, I have some free time now."

"Then tell your fans that we're leaving first."

Chu Zihang turned his head to look at the audience and his teammates, and casually waved his hand.

Such situations have occurred frequently in the past, and the fans are all familiar with Chu Zihang's personality.

But as always, Chu Zihang turned and left, and all eyes turned to him.

Chu Zihang knew that Lin Chen's halo was now in their favor.

The newly enrolled first-year high school students didn't know Lin Chen, but after the second and third-year students explained things to them, their eyes lit up with excitement.

Lin Chen's gaze swept across the audience, suggesting that there must be some important figures present.

For example, Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and others are all studying here at this time.

And of course, there's that good-for-nothing Lu Mingfei, who's probably hiding somewhere.

Lin Chen glanced around but couldn't see any of these people. However, he spotted a girl raising her hand and cheering in the front row of the audience.

The girl was radiant, possessing a figure almost perfected by a sculptor.

She was wearing a white dress, standing there blinking, her little tiger teeth showing when she smiled, and her big eyes sparkling with captivating charm.

Lin Chen wanted to take a closer look, but the figure suddenly disappeared into the crowd.

Lin Chen rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

That girl who flashed by was definitely not mistaken.

Lin Chen could only think of one name.

Summer!

Lin Chen scanned the crowd in the stands several times, but still couldn't see anything.

It seemed she didn't want anyone to discover her whereabouts, and she remained wary whenever she appeared.

This was a heartwarming yet dangerous signal; Lin Chen had high hopes for this lovely girl.

At the same time, she is also one of the twin sons of the king of the earth and mountains, Jormungandr, the dragon king!

But right now, it seems the time for us to meet is not yet here.

Lin Chen chuckled and shook his head, then waved to Chu Zihang: "Come with me."

Chu Zihang returned to the sidelines, picked up his backpack, and followed Lin Chen out.

The two walked along the tree-lined path on campus. Chu Zihang walked quietly without speaking, and Lin Chen did not take the initiative to speak either.

The two of them had blank expressions when they arrived at the school gate, and even the security guards didn't dare to say anything.

As the top-ranked individuals on the "List of Those Who Should Be Killed" in both the previous and current editions, Lin Chen and Chu Zihang both enjoyed considerable prestige among the security guards.

The security guard quickly opened the door and let Lin Chen and Chu Zihang out.
