Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Rumble!

A beautiful firework exploded in the sky above the Imperial Capital campus.

Chen Jianping wasn't seriously injured, but staring at the handful of ashes in his hand, he was completely stunned.

Qin Yu, it exploded!?

Not only Chen Jianping, but all the students in the elite class were also dumbfounded and looked horrified.

The once invincible Squad Leader Qin is gone just like that?

"Qin Yu!?"

Lin Qingxue's face turned deathly pale instantly. She felt as if her heart was about to be crushed, and her legs went weak, about to collapse to the ground.

Seeing this, Han Jinlong reacted quickly and rushed forward to help him up.

"Goddess Qingxue, are you alright?"

Lin Qingxue seemed not to hear, only muttering to herself with an expression of disbelief:

"No, this is impossible, Qin Yu can't be dead..."

Han Jinlong steadied Lin Qingxue and gently comforted her:

"Goddess Qingxue, don't worry. Now that Qin Yu has unfortunately passed away, I will take good care of you in his place."

"Fuck you!"

Before Han Jinlong could finish speaking, he was kicked away.

"You little dragon prince with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come I never noticed before that you still have the soul of Cao Cao?"

Qin Yu grumbled as he withdrew his foot.

Hearing the familiar voice in her ear, Lin Qingxue suddenly turned her head and found Qin Yu standing there alive.

"Qin Yu!"

Lin Qingxue's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she threw herself into Qin Yu's arms, punching his chest hard.

"You scared me to death, you know that!"

Qin Yu smiled and patted Lin Qingxue on the back, comforting her:

"Don't worry, the one that was blown up just now was just my clone. Old Chen is probably still in shock right now."

Everyone: "..."

Wow, you've really got something!

"Ding! Selection complete, reward received: Wood Vine Entanglement skill strength +10%"

"When the cumulative increase in the strength of the 'Wooden Vine Entanglement' skill reaches 100%, it undergoes a transformation, gaining an additional attribute: When the wooden vine binds an enemy unit, it will continuously absorb the opponent's spiritual power to nourish the caster."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Qin Yu's smile deepened.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

But at that moment, Qin Yu suddenly felt a terrifying pressure coming down on his head. When he looked up, he found a gaze full of killing intent and coldness staring at him.

Qin Yu shuddered instantly and chuckled awkwardly:

"Teacher Chen, it's Sapris! How about that, are you surprised or not?"

"hehe."

Chen Jianping just sneered: "That was quite a surprise. Now, I'm going to give you a surprise too."

After saying that, he grabbed Qin Yu and flew into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the people standing on the ground heard a series of shrill screams coming from the sky, echoing throughout the entire heavens.

No one knew what kind of beatings and torture Qin Yu had suffered in the sky; all they knew was that when Teacher Chen brought Qin Yu down from the sky and threw him onto the ground,

Qin Yu's body was completely covered in sores, he lay limp on the ground like a dead dog, barely alive.

"From now on, anyone who dares to misbehave again will face the consequences!"

Chen Jianping's sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and he shouted coldly.

This time, he was really scared.

The moment he saw Qin Yu explode in his arms, he even started planning where he would bury himself.

After all, if a genius, a once-in-a-millennium talent in the entire school and even the entire Great Xia Dynasty, dies in your hands, then you will surely become a sinner for all eternity in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianping was so angry that he couldn't help but kick Qin Yu, who was already half dead.

Mudd!

That bastard is truly despicable!

"Alright! Let's begin the lesson!"

Three hours passed in a flash, and today's class was over, but Qin Yu was still slumped on the ground, motionless.

Lin Qingxue, looking worried, tried to go over and help Qin Yu up, but was immediately rebuked by Chen Jianping in a cold tone:

"No one is allowed to interfere with him. He must be taught a lesson this time!"

After saying that, Chen Jianping snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

However, even though Chen Jianping left, no one dared to go and check on Qin Yu's injuries.

After all, who knows if Teacher Chen's divine sense is still probing this place?

"Hmph! Serves him right for showing off!"

Han Jinlong, who had long disliked Qin Yu, felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing Qin Yu's miserable state and couldn't help but gloat and mock him.

Then, in the next instant, a wooden vine suddenly burst forth from the ground beneath his feet, instantly wrapping around his entire body.

"This is...entwined with vines!?"

The students in the elite class were all taken aback when they saw this!

Isn't this Qin Yu's signature move?!

Everyone quickly looked at where Qin Yu was and found that Qin Yu, who had been on the verge of death, was now standing there perfectly fine, smiling at them.

"What the hell!?"

The students in the elite class were all speechless with shock upon seeing this.

So all that pathetic look he gave me just now was an act?!

"Qin Yu, are you alright?"

Lin Qingxue walked over, looking worried.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it," Qin Yu said with a cheerful stretch.

"Then you just..."

"That was just a ruse I used to fool Old Chen," Qin Yu grinned.

With his powerful recovery ability thanks to his S-rank wood-type talent, he could easily recover from that injury. The reason he had been lying on the ground was simply because he was afraid that Old Chen would hit him even harder.

Then, Qin Yu went to Han Jinlong, who was tightly bound by wooden vines, and patted his cheek with a smile, saying:

"I'm in a terrible situation, and you seem to be gloating about it?"

"No, no, it was just a joke, don't worry about it."

Han Jinlong's voice trembled slightly as he chuckled awkwardly.

"Oh, then I'll make a joke about you too, you don't mind, right?"

Qin Yu grinned, and before Han Jinlong could react, he began to manipulate the wooden vines to absorb the other party's spiritual power.

"Holy crap!? What is this!?"

Han Jinlong looked horrified, feeling his spiritual energy rapidly draining away and his cultivation level constantly regressing.

He discovered that he had just broken through to the level of a three-star martial artist, but suddenly he had regressed back to the level of a two-star martial artist!

At the same time, Qin Yu felt his spiritual power rising rapidly, and his cultivation level was also constantly climbing. Soon, he rose from the early stage of a six-star martial artist to the middle stage of a six-star martial artist.

He had a feeling that if he drained Han Jinlong dry, he could probably advance directly from a six-star martial artist to a seven-star martial artist.

Of course, since they are classmates, he wouldn't be that abnormal. This time, he just wanted to experience the strength of the new ability he gained from the vine entanglement.

Upon examination, it was confirmed to be indeed abnormal!

This is absolutely a divine skill that can rapidly elevate one's cultivation level!

Having achieved a satisfactory result, Qin Yu smiled broadly and removed all the wooden vines that were wrapped around Han Jinlong.

Han Jinlong felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and only then did he realize that the rapidly draining spiritual energy in his body had finally stopped.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Han Jinlong was panting heavily, his back soaked with sweat. He stared in horror and terror at the kind-smiling boy in front of him, feeling as if he were looking at a demon from hell, which made him tremble with fear.
