[Ding!]
[Host has come into contact with the protagonists of this world. Collecting luck in progress…]
[Wang Dadong's favorability toward the host: None]
[Wang Arthur's favorability toward the host: None]
[Ding Xiaoyu's favorability toward the host: None]
[...]
[10.204%… 10.209%…]
The continuous system notifications sounded like the most beautiful melody to Lan Tianyu, making the corners of his lips rise uncontrollably.
Just as he expected.
Ultimate Class truly had many protagonists.
The moment he stepped in, the speed of luck collection increased significantly.
If he could raise the favorability of these little troublemakers…
The efficiency would absolutely explode.
However, every one of these students was rebellious and arrogant.
Raising their favorability wouldn't be easy.
"Hey! New guy!"
A furious shout suddenly exploded in the classroom, interrupting Lan Tianyu's thoughts.
The bespectacled student in the front row grew angry when he saw that Lan Tianyu completely ignored him.
In his rage, he stood up abruptly.
At some point, a heavy iron rod flashing with cold light had appeared in his hand.
Bang!
He smashed it violently onto the desk.
"You've got guts. How dare you ignore me?"
He glared fiercely at Lan Tianyu as if ready to fight at any moment.
"Student Lin!"
Tian Xin's expression changed instantly. Her brows furrowed as she quickly reprimanded him.
"Teacher Lan is still your elder. How can you be so rude? Put that—"
"Oho!"
Suddenly, a slightly exaggerated voice sounded from the doorway, interrupting her.
"I say, Student Lin Qing."
Jin Bao San walked slowly into the classroom with his hands in his pockets, swaying as he moved, a smug grin on his face.
"A teacher is still your elder. What are you doing pointing an iron rod at him? Starting a rebellion? Don't you have any respect for teachers?"
Behind him, Fu Tou and the other two lackeys froze at the door, staring at their boss in shock.
Had their boss gone crazy?
How dare he step forward at a time like this?
Whoosh!
In an instant, the entire classroom's attention shifted from Lan Tianyu to Jin Bao San.
Their gazes were filled with shock, disdain, disbelief, and a mocking amusement usually reserved for fools.
"So he's trying to stand up for me?"
Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.
"Most likely he realized from that small punishment earlier that I have some strength, so he's trying to show loyalty by supporting me."
"What a classic opportunist…"
Lan Tianyu chuckled lightly, crossing his arms as he leisurely watched the show unfold.
He wanted to see exactly what kind of trouble this opportunist could stir up.
"JIN! BAO! SAN!"
Before the bespectacled boy could respond, a sharp female voice erupted like a volcanic explosion.
In the second-to-last row, a girl with a fiery figure and heavy smoky makeup kicked over the desk in front of her.
"You looking for death? How dare you speak for an outsider!"
Sha Jie pointed at Jin Bao San and shouted furiously.
As if her words were a signal for battle—
Crash!
Bang!
The classroom instantly filled with the sounds of desks being overturned and chairs being kicked aside.
More than a dozen students stood up at the same time, staring at Jin Bao San with hostile expressions and fierce eyes.
An invisible pressure instantly swallowed him.
Several hot-tempered students even unleashed their combat power index, like beasts ready to attack.
Ultimate Class might be hostile toward outsiders—
But it was also fiercely united.
Jin Bao San defending an outsider without reason was equivalent to provoking everyone's anger.
If he couldn't give an explanation, he would definitely be thrown out of the classroom.
Locked in place by dozens of furious and contemptuous stares, Jin Bao San—who couldn't release any combat power index—felt his legs trembling.
Cold sweat soaked his back instantly.
Regret crept into his heart.
He had stepped forward too early.
He should have waited until the teacher and Ultimate Class were already clashing fiercely before showing his loyalty.
He had only thought about borrowing the tiger's power—
And forgotten that these lunatics didn't care about logic.
Now he had completely messed up.
But since he had already chosen a side, he had to stick with it.
If he went back to being an opportunist now, both sides would despise him.
"Uh… well…" Jin Bao San forced himself to stand despite his trembling legs. Even his voice shook.
"The teacher… he'll be with us for a while… so he's not really an outsider…"
He stammered awkwardly.
Before he even finished speaking, he darted like a frightened rabbit and hid behind Lan Tianyu's tall figure.
He practically tried to shrink into a ball, wishing he could hide every single strand of hair.
"JIN! BAO! SAN!"
Sha Jie roared again, every word squeezed through clenched teeth and filled with raging fury.
Then—
Her combat power index exploded.
[1032… 2136… 3326… 4609]
It was clear she was truly enraged.
"Since you chose to help an outsider, then get the hell out of here!"
Sha Jie raised her right fist as violent internal energy gathered around it.
Before her words even finished—
Her figure blurred.
The next instant, she teleported onto the podium, only inches away from Jin Bao San hiding behind Lan Tianyu.
Her terrifying punch tore through the air.
With a sharp whistling sound, it slammed mercilessly toward Jin Bao San's ugly head.
The gust of the punch rushed forward.
The scent of death filled the air.
Feeling the incoming force, Jin Bao San closed his eyes in despair.
At such a close distance—
Even if the teacher had over 10,000 combat power, he probably couldn't stop it.
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.
I'm finished.
However—
Just as the iron fist was only centimeters away from Jin Bao San's nose—
A slender yet powerful hand casually grabbed Sha Jie's violent punch.
No matter how wildly she released her internal energy—
No matter how hard she tried to push forward—
That terrifying fist remained frozen in midair, unable to move even a single inch.
It was as if all her strength was trying to shake an immovable mountain.
