"Boom!"
The door was blasted open, and a figure rushed indoors at high speed.
Xia Jiawen held up a deep blue shield, but it was shattered with a "crack" by the enemy.
The enemy revealed his face, a soldier in military uniform. His face was brutish, his body strong, and purple-black tentacles spread across his arm, making a "hiss" sound.
—This is an "Exotic Controller."
So people seal the exotic in their bodies, turning it into their strength, becoming an "Exotic Controller." This strong soldier was one such person, and though he faced the risk of being consud by the exotic, before he got consud to death, he could wield imnse power.
"Which nation’s military are you from? What are you doing breaking into a school?" Xia Jiawen looked wary: "I don’t recognize your uniform."
Now, Dao Ya City has beco an abandoned city, its residents powerless to resist, hooligan soldiers are everywhere.
The strong soldier laughed and said: "We are just following orders from above. I heard this generation has quite a few talented kids, we are here for recruitnt. Don’t block us, let us see the children."
He gestured for Xia Jiawen to step aside.
The students shrank in fear behind Xia Jiawen. Xia Jiawen’s face reddened with anger, pointing at the soldier coldly said: "Is this how you recruit? Breaking into schools for recruitnt? To recruit, you have to wait until the kids graduate, wait for them to volunteer, see their own will! You breaking into a school like this is nothing short of kidnapping!"
The current international situation is extrely chaotic, and Dao Ya City is a lawless zone. If the students are taken by soldiers, there’s a 99% chance they won’t have a legitimate soldier’s identity, and are most likely being sold off as thugs or miners.
A soldier with a monkey-like face laughed at the back: "This teacher’s surna is Xia, right... um, Teacher Xia. What kind of talk is that? Let these kids go to the front lines to fight the exotic, this is a great thing for the country and the people! You hide in the ivory tower, cramming aningless textbooks, going to the battlefield you’d be nothing but cowards! You might as well go and see blood now. Teacher Xia, don’t you have any sense of collective honor?"
"Bullshit!" The seemingly gentle Xia Jiawen exploded with foul language: "You self-proclaid soldiers and thieves have been doing evil in this city for a long ti! Killing innocents to boast your achievents, kidnapping people for recruitnt numbers, even sixty-year-old elders and ten-year-old children are not spared—now you dare to reach into schools! These kids are the future! They are far from mature enough to endure the battlefield!"
Many people have gathered at the entrance of C block’s teaching building, mostly teachers, directors, and clerks. Students from other classes have already hidden away.
Other soldiers ford a human wall, firmly blocking other teachers who wanted to help, isolating this classroom.
Su Ming’an stood at the end of the student line, with the live broadcast room chat scrolling crazily:
[War background?]
[This looks familiar, my country often has these things happen.]
[Even students are being involved? I even saw kids just over ten years old in the classroom.]
[Still haven’t encountered Lv Shu yet, it seems they really are in another country. This Tenth World is so big, just one city is as large as half of the City of asurent. Who knows how much bigger it is outside.]
[It’s only the first day, don’t worry.]
[...]
Su Ming’an was expressionless, staring at the soldiers at the entrance.
The monkey-faced soldier, after being fiercely scolded by Xia Jiawen, suddenly put on a stern look: "Alright, alright. Then I won’t pretend anymore—I’ll tell you straight, this city is already beyond saving! The population here is just resources, they’re targets. If you dare stop us, there’s nothing left to talk about! Brothers, go! Just grab people! Grab whoever you can!"
He spread his fingers, his arm swelled. The purple-black tentacles climbed his arm like snakes, suddenly biting towards Xia Jiawen!
"Ah—" The students behind let out terrified screams.
"Teacher Xia belongs to the Healing Series, he can’t win!"
"Is even the school no longer safe?"
"What should we do..."
Xia Jiawen didn’t retreat but chose to fight the soldiers.
The school is the only pure land within the city. If he retreats, even the last sanctuary would no longer exist. He hopes these kids can change their fate, rather than becoming just a statistic for others.
The burning talismans emitted a smoky sll in the air as tentacles pierced through the defensive barrier. Xia Jiawen gradually beca drenched in blood but still didn’t retreat, the fight never affected any student behind him.
Su Ming’an suddenly heard a system prompt.
"Ding dong!"
[Detecting the first combat scene.]
[You have touched upon clues to a perfect pass (The Tenth World is an open world, there are tens of thousands of perfect pass routes).]
[You are a (Fifth Rank Ruler), providing you with seven most suitable perfect pass route suggestions.]
...
[TE1·"Hooray! Let’s all die!" (Successfully destroy the world)]
[TE2·"I swear by this sword to defend human glory" (Achieve Positional Rank supre within twenty days)]
[TE3·"Your Utopia with Him" (Reach the final Old Land and establish Utopia)]
[TE4·"Let Miss Demon King see The Republic" (Raise "Su Luoluo" Favorability to 100 points—Must go through all plot with her, can’t forcibly increase favorability using Ruler’s Skill)]
[TE5·"A Flower, A World, A Leaf, A Bodhi" (Help "Li Mingyue" establish Rule System)]
[TE6·"Floating through the mundane, fortunate view to Dawn" (Keep "Chao Yan" alive within twenty days)]
[TE7·"You’re perfect, Ming’an" (Pass the Civil Service Exam, build a happy four-person family)]
...
[As a (Fifth Rank Ruler), you can choose one perfect pass route. Within twenty days, the system will continuously provide navigation for this route, helping you reach the end.]
[Please note, the difficulties for the seven perfect pass routes are respectively: Easy, Difficult, Extrely Difficult, Moderate, Difficult, Extrely Difficult, Difficult]
[What’s your choice?]
...
Su Ming’an looked at the panel in front of him.
After the ruler ascends to the fifth rank, there are actually such benefits. This way, there’s no need to run around like a headless fly; just follow the mission.
He analyzed it a bit. Firstly, TE1’s "destroy the world" has the lowest difficulty. Destroying the world seems tempting, but doing so will definitely miss a huge amount of information.
If it’s soone like Edward or Mizushima Kawa Sora, they would surely lean towards this route. For instance, deliberately killing frontline fighters, deliberately drawing out exotic species, deliberately slowing down the progression of gas like Louyue Nation to let the black mist spread continuously — all this doesn’t require much effort on their part, and the route could succeed. But he cannot do that.
TE2’s "achieve the supre positional rank," he’s still unsure what "positional rank" ans. But he rembers his tenth world personal information interface where his positional rank is shown as "F". It seems to require him to complete all the gas for the rank to keep upgrading – in other words, this is the "play through all the gas" route.
TE3’s "reach the final old world and establish Utopia" is a complete enigma. He doesn’t know what "final old world" is, nor what "Utopia" ans. Moreover, its difficulty is extrely high, making it the most challenging line. It should be directly related to the final secret.
TE4’s "increase Su Luoluo’s favorability to 100 points" doesn’t seem difficult and belongs to the regular route.
TE5’s "help Li Mingyue establish a rule system" is sowhat subtle. Li Mingyue is the state preceptor in Louyue Nation’s ga; how is he supposed to help Li Mingyue establish a rule system? What does a rule system refer to?
TE6’s "ensure Chao Yan doesn’t die within twenty days" is also a regular route, ensuring soone nad "Chao Yan" doesn’t die.
TE7’s "pass the civil servant exam and build a happy family of four"... Su Ming’an glanced at it and skipped over; not only passing the exam but also getting married within 20 days, he would never do it.
The most terrifying thing is, the difficulty of this TE7 is actually still "difficult." The world ga actually considers it harder than TE1 and TE4. This shows the terror of this route.
Su Ming’an pondered for a while and chose TE3 "reach the final old world and establish Utopia."
...
"Ding dong!"
[You have chosen TE3 · "Your Utopia with Him."]
[Perfect Pass Mission · First Ring: "Study Well"
Task Requirents: Please enter the school library and learn at least three talismans.
Task Reward: 5% progress in perfect pass
Task Note: Wensheng, the first step is to study, to successfully blend into this world...]
...
It seems the first target now is to enter the school library, so it’s clear.
At the entrance, Teacher Xia was still battling against the soldiers. His defeat was only a matter of ti; he was completely fighting desperately, making the soldiers not dare to exchange their lives with his.
"Wensheng! Wensheng!" The male classmate beside him was ashen-faced, clinging tightly to Su Ming’an’s arm: "Wensheng, I also heard before that people might disappear, supposedly taken away by soldiers forcibly. I thought it wouldn’t happen to , but..."
Su Ming’an imdiately shook him off.
"Aren’t you scared?" The male classmate’s arms trembled: "I want to go ho; I don’t want to never see my dad, mom, and sister again; I, I..."
"Scared." Su Ming’an said expressionlessly.
He observed; the leading soldier’s strength was nearly fourth-level, and even combined, the teachers couldn’t defeat this soldier. He had to take action.
Sword of Yarman... no, it would expose his identity. Spatial Vibration and Judgnt... also no.
Right, this one.
His palm opened, and a golden scepter appeared in his hand.
...
[Staff of Light (Red Level):
Attack Power: 10~20
Durability: 10/10
Special Attribute: Holy Attribute, has a strong suppressive effect on curse series spells.
Special Attribute: Light Attribute, has a strong suppressive effect on darkness series spells.
Active Skill (Holy Spear): After a one-second chant, launch a light series spell single attack, this attack will definitely hit the target, and causes a splash effect upon hitting. Cooldown Ti 3 seconds. Consus 100 points of blue energy.]
...
This was a weapon he obtained during the Pulaya period. Its appearance is like an ordinary mage’s staff; he has never used it.
"Holy Spear!" Su Ming’an felt his mouth open automatically, shouting such a phrase, with his voice rising and falling like poetry.
— The "one second chant" in this active skill description was indeed a chant.
In the next mont, golden light emanated from the tip of the Staff of Light, targeting the strong soldier pressing down on Xia Jiawen.
A spear made of light shot out from the corner of the classroom, soaring over the blackboard and podium, ripping through tentacles and piercing straight into the soldier’s chest.
The soldier looked down to see a golden spear piercing through his chest.
Blood spewing from his mouth, he looked at Su Ming’an standing in the corner.
The black-haired, black-eyed young student looked at him coldly, the scepter in his hand still carrying remnants of star-like light.
"I... Shan..." The strong soldier seed to want to say sothing but lost his life, collapsed.
Su Ming’an walked out from the crowd wielding the Staff of Light and fired several Holy Spears. Although each had a three-second cooldown, the "Holy Spear" had an unavoidable effect, making it impossible for the soldiers to evade.
After four Holy Spears, a squad of soldiers had already fallen to the ground.
"Wensheng?" Xia Jiawen caught his breath, looking at Su Ming’an in disbelief. When did this student beco so strong?
Su Ming’an walked forward. At this ti, the body of the strong soldier suddenly glowed, and a light point drilled into Su Ming’an’s forehead.
The mont the light point drilled into Su Ming’an’s forehead, Su Ming’an’s eyes saw visions—
It was a tall man with a bright smile, running in the fields with his three or four-year-old daughter.
