High School Student with Immortal Race System

On the first floor, Director Liu had said he would protect Yang Shen, and he was true to his word.

Director Liu abruptly channeled his Powerful Qi. The administrative jacket he wore exploded outward like shredded cloth, revealing the lean, powerful muscles beneath.

The fact that only his jacket burst, and not his pants, was a testament to Director Liu’s meticulous control over his Power.

To be honest, aside from his rather dark and prominent nipples, the man looked even more ripped than someone of Yang Shen’s age.

Countless strange, black arrows flew toward him, striking Director Liu’s undefended body.

However, the seemingly sharp arrowheads bounced off as if they were striking tough leather, failing to leave a mark.

Director Liu glanced at everyone present and said, "These victims of Martial Arts Psychosis are out of their minds. They’ll attack anything that moves. I’ll draw their attention. Young man, you gather everyone else and move them somewhere safe to avoid any friendly fire."

Yang Shen: "By yourself... can you handle it?"

Director Liu smiled. "In principle, yes."

’??’

’So is that a yes or a no...?’

Director Liu continued, "It’s probably for the best that we can’t get out. We need to take care of these people first. If we just open this place up, these maniacs will run wild and harm innocent civilians."

’The main thing is... if this situation blows up, I’ll probably lose my job.’

In the Yanhua civil service system, every official possessed some level of Martial Cultivation and had a duty to be on the front lines in any crisis.

’What I’m actually thinking doesn’t matter. If I want to keep my job in the system, I can’t back down!’

Yang Shen glanced at the chaotic display area. Seeing no sign of the urn, he could only nod.

’He’s right. The priority now is to ensure everyone else is safe and doesn’t get caught in the crossfire.’

’And I can look for the urn while I’m at it.’

The scene was already a total mess, though, and Yang Shen couldn’t guarantee it hadn’t already been kicked over by someone...

The mere thought of that possibility made him want to resurrect Wu just so he could kill him all over again.

Yang Shen let out a frustrated sigh. ’What a mess... a complete and utter mess...’

He didn’t want to fight these strangely dressed people... He was just here to get Zhou’s ashes back.

But these maniacs clearly weren’t going to listen to reason.

’In that case... I’ll just do what needs to be done.’

"I’ll do my best."

Before the words had even faded, Yang Shen lowered his stance and shot forward like an arrow, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The "volume" of his Buddha Sound Body Refining Technique was already turned up to 30%. Yang Shen moved as fast as a cannonball, yet he could still adjust his trajectory with nimble ease.

His tattered suit was on the verge of disintegrating completely, but it still framed his agile figure. The wind pressure whipped his hair about, revealing a pair of bright eyes, calm and determined.

Director Liu caught a fleeting glimpse and was stunned. ’This kid is fast!’

’Excellent! Truly excellent! Getting to work with such an outstanding young man... it makes me feel young again!’

One of the Exotic Strange Guests targeted Yang Shen. He clapped his hands together, and his tattoos instantly flowed into the shape of a black spear, which he then hurled forward.

Curse Skill: Yin Spear

As he moved at high speed, Yang Shen glanced sideways, but when he saw Director Liu flying over to intercept, he decided to ignore it.

Director Liu was even faster than Yang. He appeared at Yang Shen’s side in an instant and snatched the black spear with one hand.

’What a bizarre ability...’

’It seems he can materialize his tattoos... and then there’s this strange gray space...’

’But the force behind it is pathetic...’

Director Liu threw it back with even greater force. The black spear tore through the air, but the dark substance didn’t seem to harm its master. The man was sent flying, but he wasn’t impaled.

The black substance reverted to its fluid state.

Yang Shen paid them no more mind, focusing on picking up the people who had been deprived of their five senses and moving them to a corner.

The good news was that the Exotic Strange Guests were all mad, only attacking things that moved. Yang Shen could quickly get away after putting someone down, and Director Liu would block any interference for him.

The bad news was, there were a lot of people!

Although some had managed to run out earlier, there were still at least twenty or thirty people in the main hall, and who knew how many were still upstairs.

Just then, the sound of leather shoes echoed from the second floor. In the middle of his sprint, Yang Shen looked up in confusion.

"Director Liang? What are you doing here?"

Director Liang stood by the railing, patting the red envelope in his breast pocket. "Just came for a cup of tea. What’s going on out here?"

He had already dealt with one of the strange individuals on his way over, but he was still completely baffled by the situation.

Yang Shen yelled, "These people are Aliens! And it looks like they were tricked by some other group with something disguised as candy. Now they’ve all got ’Martial Arts Psychosis’!"

Director Liang frowned for a moment. ’Sounds complicated...’

’This is getting in the way of my business.’

He had a clear view from the second floor and took in the scene. "Yang, protect yourself. Any accidents off-campus... are not covered by insurance."

Director Liang leaped high into the air and came crashing down, throwing a punch as he fell.

The immense Power slammed one of the Exotic Strange Guests chasing Yang Shen straight onto the ground—no, *into* the ground!

The floor cracked and spiderwebbed, and Powerful Qi blasted in all directions!

Yang Shen’s eyes widened. ’So strong! Is this the power of a Late-stage Innate who also possesses Fist Intent?!’

’We’ve got this in the bag!’ he thought.

’Exotic Strange Guests? So what! Our directors have just finished their warm-up!’

’And there are two of them!’

With Director Liu and Director Liang, two Director Level powerhouses, taking on the majority of the fire from the dozen or so Exotic Strange Guests, Yang Shen’s job of "hiding people" went much more smoothly.

Inside the strange gray space, the only three conscious individuals each fell into their roles in an instant!

They already understood their respective tasks.

The great battle was about to erupt!

Yang Shen scooped up a female attendant and dashed away as countless black arrows rained down on him from behind.

Director Liu flew over, his fists a blur as he intercepted the black arrows one by one!

"Watch out!"

One arrow slipped through! But Yang Shen was no pushover. He planted his foot on the wall and started running along it at a 90-degree angle!

Time seemed to slow down. Yang Shen sprinted across the wall with long, fluid strides, his expression resolute and grim!

A female Exotic Strange Guest, her right hand now a thick black tentacle, swung it like a long whip, trying to intercept Yang Shen.

Curse Technique: Entwining Fist

But Yang Shen didn’t even glance at her.

Because out of the corner of his eye, he had spotted a blur.

The figure arrived in a flash. Director Liang slammed the female guest’s head straight into the wall.

BOOM!

Blood gushed from her seven orifices as the wall shattered!

Yang Shen leaped over Director Liang’s head, placed the attendant behind a counter, and immediately looked for his next target.

The three of them worked in perfect concert!

The Jinkang Pharmacy seemed spacious, but in the chaos of battle, it felt cramped and complex. Director Liang and Director Liu zipped and weaved about like two bolts of lightning, constantly flashing around Yang Shen!

They focused most of their attention on protecting the unconscious people and Yang Shen himself, only delivering a fatal blow to completely finish off an Exotic Strange Guest when the opportunity arose.

vs. 14!

Yang Shen nimbly delivered one unconscious person after another to safe corners. The maniacs ignored the motionless bodies, chasing after Yang Shen exclusively, while the two directors constantly circled him, providing support!

’Teaming up with experts is so exhilarating!’

’The three of us are absolutely wrecking them!’

After he had moved a dozen or so people, the number of Exotic Strange Guests had also been reduced by three, and most of the remaining ones were injured.

Their abilities were indeed strange. They could turn the black substance into an extension of their limbs to increase their Power, shoot it out as arrows, or even transform it into bindings like Spiritual Snakes or tree roots.

But their physical conditioning was far inferior to that of a Martial Artist.

Yang Shen was getting more and more into the groove. All he had to do was focus on his parkour and trust his teammates for the rest.

Then, he was surprised to find someone he knew?!

It was the over-two-meter-tall Tian Zihan, along with several other members of the ten-person group from Nanliang High School.

He hoisted Tian Zihan onto his shoulders. The guy’s weight wasn’t an issue for the current Yang Shen, but his sheer size was. Yang Shen felt like he was carrying a door.

He decided to just grab Tian Zihan’s feet, spin around to build momentum, and fling him like a "hammer throw."

"Yeet!"

Tian Zihan sailed through the air in a wide arc... achieving total liftoff.

He first grazed a chandelier, then slammed into a pillar, then fell from the second-floor railing, and finally crashed through a section of counters.

Face-first, no less... right on top of countless shards of broken glass.

Yang Shen’s face froze. ’...I’ve never thrown something that big before. I was aiming for the second floor...’

Tian Zihan’s face showed no emotion, only cold indifference and resolve... of course, he was also completely unconscious.

Yang Shen went back again and picked up another person, but this one slowly opened their eyes...

"Yang... Yang Shen?"

Yang Shen looked down and recognized her. It was the "human cushion" from the top ten of their grade.

’Oh, right. Cao Wei.’

Held in Yang Shen’s arms, Cao Wei’s mind—which could sometimes be less useful than a dog’s—completely ignored the bizarre and dangerous situation. Her very first thought was:

’This is so embarrassing...’

Yang Shen: ’What the hell are you blushing for?!’
