Lu Chen had only been gone for one day, but Tulip High School was on the verge of exploding.
The entire school was in chaos, because everyone in Class 3 of Senior Year Three had gone wild.
Chen Chao had originally thought Lu Chen’s departure would be a good thing, but he never expected it would mark the beginning of a nightmare.
Early in the morning Chen Chao received a phone call.
“Hello, Director Chen, something happened with your Class 3 students. They beat up five students from Class 4 of Senior Year Three. Come quickly and take a look.”
Chen Chao got up immediately and drove to the school. After all, injuring people, and five of them at that, was a serious matter.
More importantly, he heard the ones injured were all top academic performers, which made the incident even bigger.
He had barely stepped out the door when the phone rang again.
“Hello, Director Chen, come quickly. Your Class 3 students just pushed a teacher down from the second floor. He is being sent to the hospital now.”
Before he could hang up that call, another one came through. Switching over, it was the principal’s voice.
“Little Chen, hurry up and come. The students from Class 3 have set the school shop on fire!”
Each of these calls made Chen Chao’s hands sweat.
Because right now he was the homeroom teacher for Class 3. He would have to bear responsibility for all these incidents!
By the time he arrived at the school, the place had completely blown up. Even the armed police had been deployed.
The entire school gate was sealed off.
Armed police were surrounding the entrance, conducting strict checks.
Because the students from Class 3 had somehow found a group of thugs from who knows where. They were blocking the school gate and preparing to fight.
Chen Chao passed by there. They did not touch him, but the situation was completely out of control!
They were still in a standoff.
“Director Chen, I think we should ask Teacher Lu to come back.” The principal looked at the messy Tulip High School and really felt a headache coming on.
Now the students from Class 3 were clearly determined to cause trouble.
“No way. Since we already let him leave, how could we possibly ask him to come back? I will go find the Class 3 students myself. I refuse to believe I cannot suppress them!”
“Zi Wen, is your plan going to work?”
“Don’t worry. Sheng Tao will arrive soon. Do you think I just want our class to make a little noise? If they do not invite Teacher Lu back, then we will make sure no one in the entire Tulip school can attend classes!”
Chen Chao went to the classroom of Senior Year Three Class 3.
But when he entered, it was empty, completely empty.
The entire class, or rather the entire classroom, did not even have desks anymore.
And what made Chen Chao the angriest was that on the blackboard hung a black-and-white photo of him, flanked by mourning couplets, and below it were white candles.
They had set up a funeral hall for him!
Chen Chao gritted his teeth and stared hard at the scene, but he had no place to vent his anger.
Because the students from Senior Year Three Class 3 were not here at all.
After Chen Chao left, the principal of Tulip High School helplessly called Lu Chen.
“Hello, Teacher Lu, are you busy right now?”
“Busy!” Lu Chen hung up directly.
It was not that Lu Chen knew what the students from Class 3 were doing. He really was quite busy. Moreover, when he left, the principal had tacitly approved it, so Lu Chen had no good feelings towards that principal either.
Since he had already left, the matters at Tulip really had nothing to do with him anymore.
After Lu Chen finished sowing the flower seeds and tree seeds on his side, it was already midnight.
If one looked carefully, one would notice that these flower seeds and tree seeds had been planted according to a certain pattern.
After everyone in the area left, Lu Chen smiled and came to a villa in the Panlong Bay villa district.
This villa was the largest and most luxurious one. Naturally, it was also the eye of the formation.
Lu Chen sat cross-legged, with his five centres facing the sky, hands forming seals, seemingly communicating with some power in the unseen realm.
It did not take long. Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
“Summon wind and call rain, scatter beans to form soldiers!”
The wind rose, but this wind existed only over Panlong Bay. Rain fell, but this rain also fell only over Panlong Bay.
Then the flower seeds and tree seeds Lu Chen had scattered began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Blossoms bloomed in profusion. The desolate neighbourhood instantly transformed into a fairyland on earth.
The dried-up pond filled with clear water. Dense verdant trees made it feel as though one had stepped into a primeval forest. The green grass was lush and vibrant, while mist swirled around. The place resembled a paradise on earth.
Beside the villa where Lu Chen stood, a small lake suddenly appeared, with a winding stream flowing through it.
And at that moment, the entire Panlong Bay underwent another dramatic change.
With Lu Chen’s villa as the centre, the northern area suddenly saw swirling snow, the southern area bloomed like spring, the eastern side was verdant with summer greenery, while the western side turned golden like autumn!
Everything here resembled a blessed grotto-heaven. Or rather, Panlong Bay at this moment had gradually begun to change!
In truth, this was exactly Lu Chen’s intention. He planned to transform this place step by step until it became a true grotto-heaven with its own distinct world!
Thick fog enveloped the outer perimeter of Panlong Bay, while inside four distinct seasons appeared!
At the same time, the moment the formation was activated, everyone in Tongzhou noticed that the stars in the night sky seemed much clearer and brighter. Especially above Panlong Bay, one could even see the Milky Way.
For Tongzhou, this was almost unbelievable. After all, Tongzhou was a medium-sized city with many abandoned factories, and the development zone had numerous industrial plants that had long polluted and obscured the sky.
Tonight, those who were still awake witnessed this rare sight for the first time: a brilliant starry sky, countless twinkling stars. Lu Chen’s face showed excitement.
Then Lu Chen sat cross-legged again. His chest rose and fell slowly. From his nostrils emerged two dragon-shaped streams of qi that he inhaled into his body.
At the same time, Lu Chen entered a state of ethereal emptiness.
This world would change sooner or later. What Lu Chen relied on most fundamentally was still his own strength.
Only by laying the most solid foundation before those changes arrived could Lu Chen qualify to contend for supremacy.
Was there really an ancestral dragon inside Kunlun Mountain?
Who exactly built the pyramids?
What secrets were hidden in the Bermuda Triangle?
Where was the lost Atlantis of the Atlantic continent?
All these would eventually come to light, and they would accompany a great transformation of heaven and earth.
What Lu Chen needed to do now was to continuously raise his own strength before those upheavals arrived.
Spiritual qi was thin, but after Lu Chen constructed a massive grand spirit-gathering formation, he could finally begin proper cultivation.
Awakening, returning to ancestry, transcendence!
These three major realms, each divided into nine minor levels!
Lu Chen was currently around the first level of Awakening. But thanks to obtaining two special seeds, his strength could be considered comparable to the second level of Awakening. Roughly speaking, he was a notch stronger than grandmaster-level martial artists in the mortal world.
