Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

The subsequent procedures of the commendation ceremony proceeded quickly. Shortly after Zhang Xiaoyuan finished her speech, the commendation ceremony ended, and cheers rang out from the surrounding students.

Some are celebrating graduation, some are looking forward to the next year or two of high school life, and some are preparing to enter the God-given Academy to learn more comprehensive knowledge on becoming stronger and become a powerful figure who will be remembered in history...

"Zhang Xiaoyuan, we might be classmates in the future, so please take good care of me."

Zhang Xiaoyuan's classmates came over, including the homeroom teacher and some other teachers and students.

Although they weren't familiar with Zhang Xiaoyuan, it didn't stop them from getting acquainted with her, so they could have something to say if they needed her help in the future.

Two of her classmates, who were gifted by God, also walked up to Zhang Xiaoyuan with smiles.

Students from the same province often go on to study at the provincial God-given Academy after graduating from high school.

"Okay."

Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded at the two of them.

These two classmates were not familiar with Zhang Xiaoyuan before, so Zhang Xiaoyuan did not show much enthusiasm and only briefly introduced them.

"Xiaoyuan, the school will be holding a celebration banquet for you students who are about to enter the Divine Academy. You should come too."

Zhang Xiaoyuan's homeroom teacher spoke up with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was one of his students, and she became the champion in the assessment, which made him very proud.

"I won't go. I'm a bit tired after experiencing so much in the battlefield of the gods, and I want to get some rest."

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head. The three years of high school were not a pleasant memory for her predecessor, and her current body didn't feel much attachment or reluctance to leave.

Only when facing Aunt Liu and her daughter would a surge of emotion well up within him.

"Ah, well, okay."

The homeroom teacher chuckled dryly, not wanting to force Zhang Xiaoyuan. Although he was still Zhang Xiaoyuan's teacher, his status was no longer as high as Zhang Xiaoyuan's title of champion.

Zhang Xiaoyuan bid farewell to everyone and returned to the alley.

However, the once dilapidated and desolate house was now filled with a noisy din.

After Zhang Xiaoyuan went inside, she found many Taoist figures inside.

"Oh my, Auntie, I knew Xiao Yuan would amount to something great!"

"That's right! I used to give Xiaoyuan 50 cents every time he helped me sell cardboard boxes as a tip!"

"..."

Everyone started talking at once, trying to say how good they had been to Zhang Xiaoyuan in the past.

Aunt Liu and her daughter stood awkwardly to the side, not knowing how to send the crowd away or what to say, their faces showing some impatience.

As Zhang Xiaoyuan entered the room, the scene fell silent for a moment.

"Hey, Xiaoyuan's back! Have you eaten?"

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, and she immediately pushed aside Grandma Wang, who was spitting out sunflower seed shells on the ground, and led Xiaoming toward Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"No, I came back right after the awards ceremony, and I'm hungry now."

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head and smiled, looking at the neighbors inside and outside the house.

"That's perfect, Auntie will go get the food."

Aunt Liu smiled slightly, told Xiaoming to stay with Zhang Xiaoyuan, and went to get the rice herself.

"Brother Yuan..."

Xiao Ming grabbed Zhang Xiaoyuan's chubby hand and said nervously.

"fine."

Zhang Xiaoyuan gently patted Xiaoming's hand and spoke loudly:

"Oh, aunties and uncles, have you finished dinner? Are you here to chat? Would you like to sit down and have a meal together?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, took a handful of sunflower seeds from an older woman, and started cracking them open without any hesitation.

This woman has a dog at home. Every time Zhang Xiaoyuan passes by her house on her way to school, the dog barks at her a few times.

"However, we don't have many bowls at home, so you'll have to trouble yourselves to prepare your own bowls and chopsticks."

"Haha, what are you saying? We just finished eating and came to see what our city's champion looks like now. Well, look at him, he's quite the handsome and energetic young man!"

The woman eating sunflower seeds chimed in, but Zhang Xiaoyuan felt as if she was being insulted.

"Xiao Yuan, I always knew you had great potential and a bright future. I'll sell you all the cardboard boxes from my house from now on!" an old woman with a missing tooth said with a smile.

"Xiaoyuan, haven't you always wanted my little tabby cat? Now that it has kittens, I'll bring them to you once they've grown a few more days." A middle-aged man said, his smile revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

At the same time, she felt regretful. She wished she hadn't tricked Zhang Xiaoyuan when she promised him the cat two years ago. She also wondered if Zhang Xiaoyuan still liked cats.

"No need, I already have a cat here."

Zhang Xiaoyuan curled her lip and casually tossed the sleeping scraggly cat out of her coat pocket, where it landed at the feet of the middle-aged man.

"Hey, Xiaoyuan, your cat is too ugly. It's not as good-looking as my kitten. I'll pick the best-looking one for you," the middle-aged man continued.

"A bunch of two-legged beasts? You ugly thing, are you calling me ugly? You want a beating?!"

The mixed-breed cat had a bad temper and was always talking big. Now that it saw an ordinary person, it felt even more powerful and jumped up to slap the middle-aged man, knocking his teeth out.

"Wow, this cat can talk?!"

"Damn it! It's a monster! Everyone run!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Xiaoyuan is already the champion of the assessment, she's definitely much stronger than a monster, we're not afraid of her!"

"That's right, Xiaoyuan, hurry up and kill this fierce kitten!"

"..."

Everyone chattered amongst themselves, completely ignoring the scruffy cat.

"How dare you! A bunch of two-legged beasts, how dare you speak to this great king like that!"

The scruffy cat glared with its small eyes, and several beams of white light shot out from its eyes, entering the bodies of the people who had said the most offensive things.

As if their bodies were out of control, those people raised their hands and slapped themselves hard across the face.

The others were immediately frightened by this bizarre scene and dared not speak.

At this moment, the sound of slapping someone's ear was exceptionally loud.

"Alright, stop bullying me and behave yourself."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said calmly.

"Hmph, considering that you, two-legged beast, led me away from that place, I'll spare these guys for your sake."

The mixed-breed cat raised its head, swaggered to the chair, found a comfortable position, and lay down to rest.

As the scraggly cat stopped, the men who had been slapping each other regained their senses and looked at the cat with terror in their eyes.

Although they were hitting themselves, unlike Ishida who had lost his memory of what had just happened, they were conscious when they hit themselves, which is why they found the scruffy cat even more terrifying.

Having regained control of his body, he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Xiaoyuan and rushed out of Aunt Liu's house as fast as he could.

When Aunt Liu returned with the food, she was puzzled to find that all the neighbors had left, which made her quite curious.

"Where are the people? Why are they all gone?"

"Mom, it was this clown cat that chased away those unreasonable uncles and grandmas."

Xiao Ming approached the scruffy cat and pointed at it, explaining.

"Two-legged cub, don't you know that I, the Great King, hate being pointed at by two-legged creatures?"

The scruffy cat glared at Xiaoming, baring its teeth and trying to scare him, but instead received a big swipe from Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Behave yourself." Zhang Xiaoyuan warned with her eyes.

"!"

The scruffy cat was furious, cursing Zhang Xiaoyuan in its heart, and adding another debt to its list.

"Hehe, good kitty, here's a bone for you as a reward." Xiaoming quickly gnawed on a bird's leg and placed the bone in front of the scruffy cat.

"I'm a cat, not a dog!"

The scruffy cat was furious. It was one thing for that powerful two-legged creature to bully it, but what was this two-legged cub doing?!

"Ok?"

However, when the scruffy cat met Zhang Xiaoyuan's warning gaze, it immediately lowered its head in grievance, stuck out its tongue, and slowly bit into the bird's leg bone.

"Waaah, I'll remember this grudge!"
