Chapter 841: Almost Fell for It

After a brief silence, the entire playground boiled over completely!

"SS-Rank! My god, it actually is SS-Rank!"

"Star Dome Magic God! Just this name alone is an invincible magic-type class!"

"Our Donghai City is about to produce a true Dragon!"

Down below, Ye Xi was so excited she was jumping up and down, looking at the radiant Zhou Huai on the stage with a flushed little face.

The principal rushed up to the class-transfer stage in long strides and grabbed Zhou Huai by the hand.

"Good! Excellent! As expected of a thousand-li steed of the Zhou Family!" The principal said loudly with a glowing red face, "Zhou Huai, from now on you will be the pride of Donghai No. 1 High School and the future hope of our Great Xia Country!"

Zhou Huai stood on the high platform, overlooking the countless gazes of awe, envy, and fanaticism below, while the power to control the stars surged within his body.

A sense of satisfaction and pride completely enveloped his entire being.

He smiled at the principal.

"Principal, you flatter me."

Zhou Huai raised his chin with an arrogant expression: "However, in the future, I will become a Peak figure like Marshal Zhao Qingcang who suppresses an entire country!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd below.

Everything was so real, so perfect; this was the most Peak beginning in his dreams.

However, just as he was enjoying this supreme glory moment,

an abrupt, lazy, and teasing voice rang out deep within his mind without any warning.

"Silly child, shouldn't you wake up?"

The smile on Zhou Huai's face vanished.

He was stunned.

This voice was not anyone in the illusion at all. It completely did not belong to this world, forcefully piercing through this hypocritical tranquility from another dimension!

"Who is speaking?"

Zhou Huai's expression turned cold.

The thoughts of being immersed in vanity just now vanished completely. The instinct of a top-tier predator caused his gaze to become sharp and cold.

He maintained his composure and did not panic.

Standing quietly on the attention-drawing class-transfer stage, his consciousness had already contracted inward.

The next second, within Zhou Huai's Sea of Consciousness, those surrounding noisy cheers, the principal's praises, and even Ye Xi's concerned gaze quickly peeled off and shattered.

Out of an endless darkness emerged a touching figure.

That was a woman dressed in a dark green long skirt. She floated quietly in the Void Realm, her body wreathed with the dim light of the Law of Life.

Her face was peerlessly beautiful, yet it exuded a trace of indifference and transcendence.

Zhou Huai clearly had not seen her in this world.

However, when gazing at this figure, deep within his memories that had been sealed layer upon layer, a tough nerve was fiercely plucked.

The sense of incongruity that had lingered in his heart for a long time finally found an outlet for release.

Zhou Huai gazed at her, his tone calm, and called out the other party's name without any hesitation.

"Chun?"

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Huai blurted out, but as soon as the words fell, he was stunned himself.

He clearly had never seen this woman, and the name Chun should have been an absolutely unfamiliar word.

Yet, he just called it out so naturally.

Chun in the Void Realm giggled.

That laughter was crisp and melodious, then lowered.

"A beautiful dream can only be a dream after all." Chun's gaze pierced through the surrounding hypocritical light and shadow, staring deeply at him, "Zhou Huai, it is time to wake up."

"Otherwise, Mr. Duan will soon break free and come looking for you."

Mr. Duan?

Zhou Huai frowned, continuously chewing on this name between his lips and teeth.

"Mr. Duan… Mr. Duan…"

Every time these three words were uttered, an extremely sharp stabbing pain would come from deep within Zhou Huai's mind.

However, accompanied by this stabbing pain, those underlying memories forcibly sealed and altered by the High-Dimensional Law began to frantically impact the barrier of this fake world!

Mentioning this name was the key that opened the door to the fog.

The gloom of the deep sea, the deformed giant beasts, the abyssal nether chain left behind by Old Mo, that terrifying giant hand condensed from black High-Dimensional Laws… Those life-or-death battles, those collisions of power exceeding dimensional limits, those real blood and fire, dispersed this ridiculous tranquility!

The confusion in the depths of Zhou Huai's eyes, which originally belonged to an ordinary high school student, was completely replaced by a cold and overlooking-the-world dark golden light!

The Half-step Transcendent of Ten Thousand Aspects into One had returned.

At this moment, within the realistic light and shadow of the class-transfer stage, the underlying logic of the illusion sensed the violent fluctuation of Zhou Huai's consciousness and began frantically repairing and strengthening this perfect world.

"Huaier! Well done! Truly worthy of being my, Zhou Feng's, son!"

Zhou Feng rushed onto the class-transfer stage with a glowing red face, pulling Zhou Huai into a tight embrace, his tone carrying pride and fanaticism.

"SS-Rank hidden class! Star Dome Magic God! Hahahahaha! Our Zhou Family is finally going to produce a true Dragon!"

He slapped Zhou Huai's shoulders hard, spitting as he portrayed a grand blueprint: "Starting from today, the entire Donghai City, no, the entire Great Xia Country will have to look at your expression! In the future, you will definitely be able to become the pillar that calms the seas for our Great Xia!"

Mother also hurried up the stage, her eye sockets red, filled with maternal love and gentleness.

"Huaier, Mom knew you could definitely do it."

Ye Xi closely followed beside Mom, her beautiful eyes filled with adoring little stars.

"Brother Zhou Huai, you are amazing! I just knew you would be the most powerful one!"

The principal, teachers, classmates downstairs, as well as those high-and-mighty major guild representatives on usual days, were all frantically applauding and cheering, and some even knelt on the ground in excitement, shedding hot tears.

Flowers, applause, glory, family affection, romantic love…

All of this was so perfect, perfect without a single flaw. It matched every Mortal's deepest yearning for salvation and the Peak of life.

However.

Facing this noisy and fanatic celebration, Zhou Huai no longer showed an arrogant smile.

He stood quietly in place, letting Zhou Feng pat his shoulders, letting Mom hold his hand.

He suddenly raised his head, looking calmly at these three people in front of him.

Remaining silent for a long time.

In his eyes, there was no joy, no excitement, only a coldness that saw through everything.

Gradually, Zhou Huai smiled.

That was the teasing smile of a superior overlooking ants, of a predator inspecting its prey.

Mother keenly sensed Zhou Huai's abnormality.

The smile on her face stiffened slightly, and she let go of Zhou Huai's hand, feeling somewhat panicked.

"Huaier… what is wrong with you?" Mother asked gently, with careful concern: "Why aren't you happy? You are an SS-Rank Professional now, this is a momentous joyous occasion."

Zhou Feng also stopped laughing, furrowing his brow as he looked at his son: "Yeah, what are you dazing off for, kid? Did you go stupid from joy?"

Ye Xi also stepped forward anxiously, extending her fair and tender little hand, wanting to pull on the corner of Zhou Huai's clothes.

"Brother Zhou Huai, don't scare me."

Looking at these extremely vivid yet extremely fake faces before him, Zhou Huai shook his head.

"What a childish act."

Zhou Huai's voice appeared exceptionally clear on this noisy class-transfer stage.

This light sentence caused all the surrounding cheers to stop abruptly.

Across the entire playground, the actions of thousands of people stiffened, as if the image had been pressed with a pause button.

"However…" Zhou Huai looked at the bewildered parents in front of him and let out a cold laugh: "I have to admit, Mr. Duan, the high-dimensional mental illusion you set up in this Sea Gods Stomach really has some substance. Striking straight at the weak spot, almost, just almost, I really would have fallen for your trick."
