Chapter 1

"Zhuochuan, please answer the result of 9887423 multiplied by 9843243." In an extremely ordinary classroom, behind the lectern, a beautifully dressed and cool female teacher was asking a question.

Below the lectern, among the rows of students, a clearly different individual slowly stood up.

He was different because the other students still had a touch of innocence on their faces, and anyone could tell at a glance that they were in the prime of their youth.

However, the person called out was undoubtedly an adult man. His face was finely chiseled, and every detail of his features seemed to have been meticulously sculpted, more perfect than the best marble sculpture, and each detail seemed to be imbued with the vicissitudes of time.

He was tall, standing a head and a half taller than the other students. His muscular build was incredibly strong, far surpassing the underdeveloped bodies of the other students.

After this extraordinary person stood up, he first had a thoughtful look, then looked up at the sky as if he could see the answer, and finally sighed helplessly before speaking:

"The last digit of the result should be 9. As for the rest, Teacher Feng, I'm sorry, I don't know."

Clearly, this was not a beauty pageant but a classroom. His extraordinary appearance and strong physique were of no use to his situation.

The beautiful female teacher, hearing his answer, was equally helpless. She forced a smile and said, "Alright, Zhuochuan, you've made some progress compared to last time. At least you can calculate the last digit. Stand there and listen to the other students' answers."

Then she called another student, "Wang Xin, you answer this question."

Zhuochuan stood there, lost in thought. A voice immediately sounded beside him.

"Teacher, the answer is 97324307232789." Zhuochuan's desk mate stood up. This student, Wang Xin, had a clear and refined face and confidently answered the question in a loud and fluent voice.

"Um, that's correct, Wang Xin, sit down." The beautiful female teacher didn't show much approval, just nodded to indicate that Wang Xin should sit down.

As Wang Xin sat down, he raised his head, glanced sideways at his desk mate, and rolled his eyes, as if to say, "Such a simple question, and you still don't know."

Zhuochuan ignored him and casually flexed his arm, revealing biceps thicker than Wang Xin's thighs.

Wang Xin immediately wilted, lowered his head, and dared not provoke him again.

The beautiful female teacher saw the small actions of the two students but didn't say anything. Instead, she said, "Alright, today's numerical thinking training is over. Everyone, take a ten-minute break. The next class is physical training."

After she finished speaking, the beautiful female teacher didn't tidy up anything and walked straight out of the classroom.

As soon as she left, the classroom erupted in laughter.

"Haha, the uncle was scolded by Teacher Feng again today."

"Zhuochuan, you... have made some progress compared to last time, at least you can calculate the last digit." A mischievous boy lowered his voice to mimic the female teacher's voice. If you didn't see the person, almost no one could tell the difference between the two voices.

"Ha ha ha..." Another round of laughter followed.

"It's not over yet. Tomorrow, there's Teacher Feng's social and political science class. This is the sixth time. If the uncle still can't memorize the thousand-page 'Legal Reference,' Teacher Feng will definitely be angry and might make him stand for the whole class."

Zhuochuan had already sat down. He was helpless and had no way out. Arguing with these kids would only make him lose face even more.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down," a pretty female student stood up. "Zhuochuan is a B-level citizen and a hero of the Human Union. You can't mock him like this."

The classroom immediately fell silent, but soon someone muttered, "Class monitor, what you said is true, but that refers to the previous soul in his body. According to Teacher Feng, the current soul is a new soul in his original body. Although it has full cognitive abilities from the moment of consciousness, unlike a baby, it can't directly inherit the B-level citizen status and must start from scratch, just like us, as reserve citizens."

"Even so, Zhuochuan can still be considered the successor of a hero, and we should show respect," the female class monitor, who had been contradicted, blushed and argued.

"Don't worry, the uncle won't mind. He must know we have no ill intentions. We're just showing our affection and friendliness in a different way, right, uncle?" Zhuochuan's desk mate, Wang Xin, who had easily answered the seven-digit multiplication, stood up and patted Zhuochuan's shoulder, pretending to be generous.

"No, I do mind," Zhuochuan slowly stood up, flexed his muscular arm, and raised his large fist. "If Old Xu still does combat training in the next class, I'll show you why the flowers are so red."

"Uncle, no!"

"We're sorry!"

"We won't do it again, spare us!"

"Forgive our naivety, Uncle."

Unlike the previous laughter, now it was a scene of despair, especially the mischievous boy who had just mimicked the teacher, who shrank his head, afraid of being remembered by Zhuochuan.

"Hmph, if you want forgiveness, you all have to treat me to a natural barbecue tonight. I'm tired of eating the same nutritional paste every day, and my stomach is protesting."

"Oh, the uncle is extorting us again."

"Hmph, maybe it won't be combat training today," the female class monitor, who had just spoken up for Zhuochuan, was now unhappy. "We won't treat you. That's too expensive."

"Is that so? Last physical training class, Old Xu said he wanted to have a one-on-one combat session with me today. If it's not combat training, how can he have a one-on-one session with me?"

"Ah, really?"

"Class monitor, please agree. You can't just stand by and watch us suffer," the male students urged. The girls were fine; the uncle would have some restraint. But they would have to endure another so-called man's training, and Teacher Xu wouldn't help them at all.

"Alright, Zhuochuan, at 7 PM, we'll go to the Natural Home for a barbecue. You let these guys off the hook," the female class monitor walked over to Zhuochuan and said, then muttered to herself, "These guys never learn. It's going to cost the class fund again, and we don't know how many cultural activities we'll need to organize to make it up."

Zhuochuan listened to the class monitor's complaints and laughed. He wasn't really trying to scare these teenagers. He knew their laughter was harmless and didn't take it to heart.

But he wasn't entirely lying. Since he came to this world, it had been a month. Apart from occasionally eating at someone else's house, he had to rely on free nutritional paste for survival.

This nutritional paste was said to be rich in nutrients and contain all the essential elements for the human body, but in reality, it was monotonous. To add some variety, he would need to spend money, and he hadn't found a way to earn it yet. His new body's digestive system had been protesting, and he had to prepare to vomit every time he ate the nutritional paste.

Indeed, Zhuochuan was not from this world. To be more precise, he had soul-traveled to this world. The difference was that he could return to the modern Earth world every 6 hours. Although he could enjoy delicious food in the modern world, his body in this world was already tired of the nutritional paste and felt like vomiting every time he ate it.

The ten-minute break passed in a flash, and a muscular adult man strode into the classroom and walked up to the lectern.

"Classmates, this is a physical training class. Today, I, Old Xu, will be teaching you. The location is the school's combat training hall. Is anyone taking a leave?"

The students were silent, and the adult man, calling himself Old Xu, nodded in satisfaction. Then his gaze fell on the muscular Zhuochuan.

(Third-level citizen's physical strength and combat instincts! What good luck. Having such a student is like having the best free sparring partner. I'm sure I can pass the citizen exam within two years.) Old Xu looked at Zhuochuan and felt even happier.

"Old Zhu, you lead the team to the combat training hall. These guys are good at academic knowledge, but they lack physical training. You're far superior to them in combat. Train them well for me," Old Xu instructed.

"Sure, no problem, just like before." Over the past month, the person Zhuochuan got along best with in this world was this physical education teacher. He was straightforward and sincere, and they were both muscular, making them a good match.

Old Xu nodded, then, thinking of something, looked at the students and shouted, "You guys, don't just focus on those few books. You all look like bean sprouts. Remember, for a man to develop a powerful soul and master the soul's deep power, and ultimately pass the soul assessment in the citizen exam, courage and perseverance are the most important. Wisdom comes second."

"And combat training and physical training are the easiest ways to improve your courage and strengthen your perseverance!"

"Teacher Feng clearly said that to master soul power, for the three elements of the soul, wisdom is the most important. Bravery without wisdom is just a sharp knife," a male voice suddenly spoke up.
