Summit of the Old Gods

And the face that appeared before him instantly ruined Lu Ran's mood—Kou Yingquan!

Lu Ran slightly frowned, usually, the two didn't get along and rarely had any physical contact.

Kou Yingquan's such unusual behavior clearly didn't bode well!

It seemed like he was putting his arm around Lu Ran's shoulders, but he was actually strangling Lu Ran's neck, "After you went home yesterday, did you secretly collude with the Evil Demon?"

Lu Ran: ???

This kid is young, but he sure knows how to accuse others.

What will happen when you enter the workforce in the future?

The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent, pairs of eyes turning towards the front where the podium was.

The collusion between the Human Clan and the Evil Demon Clan was undoubtedly a heinous crime.

The classmates had been together for nearly two years, none truly believed Lu Ran would fall into the demonic path. In fact, they all knew that Kou Yingquan was just picking a fight.

However, undeniably, Lu Ran had summoned an Evil Demon on the God Worship Platform.

Even more crucially, all the gods in the heavens had refused to take Lu Ran in, leaving him to fend for himself on the platform.

In the end, it was the most magnanimous and tolerant Divine·Immortal Goat that showed itself.

The implication of this was quite thought-provoking.

Kou Yingquan: "I'm talking to you!"

Lu Ran directly retorted, "Are you jealous over Yan Zhi's attention? Do you have no concern for your health?"

"I am not like you!" Kou Yingquan snorted coldly, "I am very devout to the gods.

I wouldn't dare to summon an Evil Demon, nor wish to be tainted by one!"

But Lu Ran paid him no mind, continuing to attack: "You still have the face to be jealous? Didn't I introduce you two yesterday?

You saw how you fell on the ground with a thud; even ghosts look down on you!"

Exchange of insults,

The key is to attack without defending!

"Wow!" Qian Hao, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but admire, "Such a sharp tongue~"

"Shut your mouth!" Kou Yingquan immediately became agitated, his grip around Lu Ran's neck tightening.

Yingquan had lost all face through yesterday's events.

He had also entirely lost the strong and formidable image he had built among his classmates!

That might have been one of the reasons Kou Yingquan had come to pick a fight.

"Let go." Lu Ran grabbed Kou Yingquan's arm firmly and said in a deep voice.

"Begging for mercy, huh? Aren't you a disciple of the Immortal Goat Sect? Show some of your signature skills." Kou Yingquan sneered, "Maybe I'll let go if you cry out."

"You two!" From the fourth row, class president Jiang Ruyi, looking displeased, commanded, "Return to your seats, it's time for morning self-study."

Seeing that the two were still in a standoff, Jiang Ruyi rose from her seat and walked towards the podium, her expression unusually stern:

"The school prohibits private fights; do you want to be expelled?"

"Hmph." Kou Yingquan finally lessened his grip, also being pushed back several steps by Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's gaze was dark, watching the receding figure of Kou Yingquan.

Something was amiss!

Today's Kou Yingquan was acting quite abnormally.

Initiating physical contact as soon as they met, directly going for the throat, his aggression was far from ordinary.

"Back to your seat." Jiang Ruyi whispered softly, gently pulling on the corner of Lu Ran's clothing.

"Mm." Lu Ran responded softly, only to see Kou Yingquan returning to his seat, their eyes meeting once again.

Kou Yingquan's expression was haughty, giving Lu Ran a cold look.

"Back you go." Jiang Ruyi spoke again, ultimately leading Lu Ran back to the fourth row.

As soon as he sat down, the male student behind him tapped Lu Ran's back: "After you finished worshiping the gods yesterday, you left, not knowing what happened afterward.

The god Kou Yingquan summoned was the Third-class God·Prisoner Demon.

You better be careful; he's plotting against you!"

Hearing this, Lu Ran suddenly realized.

I said why is this kid so bold today, has the phoenix risen from the chicken?

Heh,

He's practically wearing his "sense of superiority" on his face.

Third-class God·Prisoner Demon, indeed impressive!

This god's rank is even higher than that of the Third-class God·Jade Talisman worshipped by Jiang Ruyi.

In Lu Ran's mind, an image of a man clad in a Big Red Robe, majestic and solemn, emerged.

The foundational Divine Technique of the Prisoner Demon Sect is called Blood Robe.

When the Believers deploy this Divine Technique, they can don an illusory and extensive robe over their body.

This robe is well-balanced in offense and defense, boasting excellent practical effects!

Divine Techniques naturally come in different grades.

It is said that the top-tier Blood Robe is transformed into pure blood-red color and can withstand all attacks in the world.

As Lu Ran was deep in thought, the class became noisy again.

After all, everyone had just worshipped the gods yesterday and came to school today; how could they possibly keep quiet?

But as they talked, the conversation inevitably returned to Lu Ran's experiences, as his story was too bizarre.

"...I really don't understand; Lu Ran does so well academically, but he ended up following the weakest Immortal Goat."

"There was no other choice on the platform apart from the Immortal Goat and Yan Zhi!"

"The reputation of the Immortal Sheep Believers isn't good, almost becoming universally recognized as easy targets."

"There's no way around it, the power of Immortal Goat is indeed the weakest among the gods, said to be magnanimous, but actually, just weak, not daring to conflict with other gods or compete for resources.

Since the Immortal Goat is like this, naturally, its followers can't toughen up."

"Eh? What do you guys think, why did the gods not want Lu Ran?"

Kou Yingquan suddenly spoke up, not too loudly nor too softly: "Haven't I already said it? He is disrespectful to the gods, not sincere at heart!

Other than joining the Immortal Goat Sect and becoming a weak, easily bullied little lamb, what else could he do?"

Lu Ran's expression darkened, he made a motion to stand up.

Your mouth really f***ing deserves a slap!

Joining the Third-class God·Prisoner Demon Sect, think you have strong backing now?

Really think everyone is afraid of you?

Jiang Ruyi was quick to act, pressing down on Lu Ran's shoulder, and stood up swiftly to interject:

"Everyone shut up, stop talking nonsense! Take out your books, start self-study."

The voices in the classroom quieted down a bit.

Jiang Ruyi, with a stern face, swept her gaze over the class, only then sitting down.

However, given her generally gentle nature, her discipline was somewhat lacking.

After just a few dozen seconds, whispers began to resurface:

"Don't talk nonsense, Lu Ran's dad was a Jade Talisman Believer and also died heroically. How could Lu Ran not respect the gods..."

"A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix, a phoenix," Kou Yingquan scoffed coldly, "A rat's son knows how to burrow holes."

The malice within the school was always so stark.

Kou Yingquan never deliberately lowered his voice, disdainfully said: "Until now, the officials haven't disclosed the details of that night.

Since the son can summon an Evil God, who knows what his dad was really up to?"

Hearing this, a rage surged up in Lu Ran!

Kou Yingquan framing Lu Ran, Lu Ran could still retort calmly.

But when Kou Yingquan insulted his deceased father...

Lu Ran abruptly stood up, grabbed a chair, and swung it hard behind!

"Ah?"

"Ouch!" Immediately, shouts of alarm filled the classroom.

The wooden chair smashed towards the back rows, aiming directly for Kou Yingquan seated by the aisle.

"Crack!"—a crisp sound.

The sturdy wooden chair, hitting Kou Yingquan's body, actually broke into pieces!

This showed how fierce and forceful Lu Ran's strike was.

"F***!"

Kou Yingquan, who instinctively raised his arm to block, was hit solidly, cursing out loud from the pain.

Kou Yingquan had never expected,

This summoner of the Evil God, who should be pointed at by thousands; this follower of the lowest-ranked god, a weak, easily bullied lamb...

Would actually dare to make a move?!

The facts proved: This lamb dared!

Lu Ran not only dared to swing a wooden chair, he charged forward!

...

There'll be another chapter at 20:00.
