Chapter 1 The Exploding Head

Bang!

Qiao Yu slapped down, and Viblun's head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

Blood splattered on Luther's face, and Luther realized something was wrong.

"Who are you?"

Luther drew a knife and slashed at Qiao Yu, but a desperate scene unfolded before him.

His full-strength slash landed on Qiao Yu, who was completely unharmed. Instead, Luther's knife shattered into two pieces.

Luther was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the broken knife in his hand.

Then, Qiao Yu stood up and walked towards him. Luther began to panic.

"I'm warning you! My sister is a low-level mage! I've already sent your picture to my sister. If you dare to mess around, my sister won't let you off!"

Luther roared, his voice harsh and his expression fierce.

Qiao Yu's mouth twitched. A low-level mage? He could slap three of those to death with one hand.

Luther's threat had no effect on Qiao Yu. After cleanly dealing with Luther, Qiao Yu clapped his hands and set fire to Luther's shop.

After returning to Old Jim's and saying goodbye to Nancy and the others, Qiao Yu set off for Pantheon Academy as the sky began to lighten.

Nancy had picked him out of the garbage heap, and he had solved Luther and Viblun for them, which could be considered the end of his obligations.

As he walked, Qiao Yu took out the information Song Qingshan had given him and began to read it.

Pantheon Academy was essentially a university, but unlike the universities of Great Xia, Pantheon Academy adopted a last-place elimination system.

This academy had the best educational resources in the entire Western Alliance, but a grand competition was held every three months, and the bottom ten students in each major were forcibly expelled.

Because of this system, Pantheon Academy was always full of vitality, and a new round of admissions began every three months.

This last-place elimination system was extremely cruel, like a giant sieve that filtered out all the geniuses.

Any student who could persist in studying at Pantheon Academy was an outstanding individual.

Those who were eliminated could only leave in disappointment and choose to study at other academies.

As he read, Qiao Yu found himself in front of an ancient castle full of 17th-century architectural style.

Pantheon Academy, he had arrived!

At the entrance of Pantheon Academy, countless students, like Qiao Yu, were arriving to register.

Their faces were filled with arrogance, because those who could enter Pantheon Academy were all outstanding individuals.

Three months later, some of them would leave with this arrogance, while others would leave with mournful faces.

"Hello, I'm here to register."

Qiao Yu walked to the new student registration desk and handed over his student ID and admission certificate.

A fat woman wearing red glasses looked Qiao Yu up and down, then nodded.

"Body Refinement major, Ward Lorde Tian'e, a truly excellent name!"

"You live in Building 4, Room 404 of the South Dormitory. Here, this is your key."

The fat woman handed Qiao Yu a key shining with silver light. Qiao Yu took it, said "shuan Q," and walked towards his dormitory building.

At this moment, Qiao Yu suddenly heard exclamations from the side.

"Wow! It's the Goddess! The Goddess has come out of seclusion!"

An extremely beautiful woman walked out of the ancient castle. Her close-fitting white dress fluttered in the wind, exuding a hint of charm amidst her purity, like a saintly elven maiden walking out of the forest. It was none other than the Goddess Annelise.

Annelise's appearance instantly ignited the registration site. Countless new students stared at the Goddess with fiery eyes, and the surrounding area was filled with discussion.

Heroes have always loved beauty. Who wouldn't want to embrace this Goddess?

"The Goddess is really working so hard. She's been in seclusion ever since the combat tournament ended, and she's only coming out now! I wonder how powerful the Goddess is now!"

"Isn't that because of that damned Qiao Yu from Great Xia?! That guy actually dared to hit the Goddess! It's simply outrageous!"

"That's right! It's only because this kid is hiding in Great Xia and doesn't dare to come out. If he dares to come to the Western Alliance, I'll be the first to kill him!"

"It's not just killing him. After he dies, I'll go to his grave to take a dump and spit on it. This kid is too hateful! He even dared to hit the Goddess!"

Listening to the gnashing of teeth around him, Qiao Yu's expression became a little strange. He became even more determined not to reveal his identity.

He didn't expect that he would encounter the Fifth Divine Guard just after entering the Western Alliance, and then encounter Annelise just after entering Pantheon Academy. What kind of bad luck was this?

Qiao Yu shook his head and plunged into the bustling crowd.

"Huh? That feeling is so familiar. Who is that?" Annelise's eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked into the crowd.

As an archer, Annelise's vision was naturally extremely sharp, but with a large crowd in the way, and Qiao Yu disguised as Tian'e, how could she recognize him?

"Goddess, are these people too noisy? Should I help you drive them away?" Codyger saw Annelise staring at the crowd and quickly asked with concern.

"It's nothing. Let's go." Annelise said with a cold expression.

After arriving at the dormitory, Qiao Yu realized that the dormitories at Pantheon Academy were actually single rooms. Although the room only had a desk, a bed, and a toilet, Qiao Yu was very satisfied.

If he had a roommate, it would be even more detrimental to his actions. What pleased him even more was that the dormitory door was a thickened, tempered security door.

After lying on the bed, Qiao Yu began to think about his next plan.

If he wanted to know the reason for the drastic change in Kaiji Star, he had to get close to Divine Mountain. It was said that outstanding graduates of Pantheon Academy would have the opportunity to ascend Divine Mountain. This was one method.

Another method was to get close to Annelise, but Qiao Yu directly rejected this method.

He didn't want to deal with that girl, and since the Fury of the Gods had recognized him as another master, the Mask of the Painter could only deceive the human eye, not escape the identification of the artifact spirit.

As he thought, Qiao Yu unconsciously fell asleep on the bed.

As dawn broke, Qiao Yu stretched and got out of bed. He had slept extremely comfortably.

After washing up, he prepared to head to the classroom. Today was the first class at Pantheon Academy, and Qiao Yu didn't want to be late for the first class.

But as soon as he went downstairs, a man in a gray long-sleeved shirt blocked Qiao Yu's path.

"You're a new student who just enrolled today, right? Do you know the rules of Pantheon Academy? You don't even greet your senior when you see them?"

Qiao Yu looked up at the man, then politely said, "Hello, Senior."

Qiao Yu was new to Pantheon Academy and wanted to keep a low profile. Causing trouble everywhere was not in line with Qiao Yu's friendly nature.

After greeting him, Qiao Yu turned to leave, but the man continued to block Qiao Yu's path relentlessly.

"Wait! Did I have to remind you to greet me? You're clearly arrogant and don't know how to respect your seniors at all!"

The man's face showed a hint of disgust, and he unceremoniously placed a huge label on Qiao Yu.
