Pain, headache, and an even deeper pain in his heart.

Luo Yang struggled to get up, swinging his arms, intending to fight to the death with his enemies in the fierce attack. However, to his horror, the prepared killing move did not respond.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, he became aware of his surroundings, and the word "horrified" was no longer enough to describe Luo Yang. He found himself in a small wooden house, and a familiar yet strange voice came from the wall: "Wake up, Brother Yang. I woke you up on time. To wake you up on schedule, I had to sacrifice at least ten minutes of sleep."

"Hey, can you two lazybones hurry up? Our class, 2-3, is responsible for the pineapple tree, which has been promoted to a fourth-level super species today. Fourth level! Aren't you excited? Many students from other classes are coming to celebrate, and I couldn't sleep well all night." A pleasant female voice rang out, making Luo Yang's pupils dilate.

"Sister Xiaoman, it's you. Sister Xiaoman, my dear Sister Xiaoman." Luo Yang's eyes welled up with tears.

"Really? I can see the tears. Impressive, after faking illness last time, you've upgraded your bed-lazing tricks today, and you're even a skilled actor. But what do you mean by 'my dear Sister Xiaoman'? When did I become yours?" A joyful laugh came from the wall: "Hehe, you little rascal, I knew you had a thing for me, but I've seen you from head to toe since we were kids, and I have no fresh feelings for you, so scram."

"Is this a dream? Or an illusion created by the enemy?" Luo Yang was dazed. He looked at every object in the small wooden house, suddenly raised his arm, and bit himself hard. The tooth marks were bloody and clearly visible, causing him pain.

"No, everything here is not an illusion. It seems I've returned to my high school days." As this thought flashed through his mind, Luo Yang felt his consciousness break through a barrier, and his perception of this world became incredibly vivid. This feeling was very peculiar, like a fish suddenly returning to water, comfortable, warm, and relaxed, making his heart ease.

"Boss, you're amazing. What a big sleep addiction? You even have to bite yourself to stay awake." A hand appeared on the screen on the wall, giving a thumbs up.

"Lin Tianbao, Baozi," Luo Yang thought to himself and took a deep breath. Lin Tianbao and Zhang Xiaoman were the most important childhood friends to him. Especially Zhang Xiaoman, who risked her life to save him but died in the process, leaving him to live on for twenty more years with grief.

Twenty years later, at the age of thirty-six, Luo Yang finally became a Sealer through his relentless efforts, entering the world's rarest profession.

However, it was precisely because of its rarity that those he trusted coveted it, and even his beloved woman had a change of heart. They conspired to frame him, using his ability to seal a secret weapon. The situation at the time was extremely complicated, and even now, there are many things he still can't understand, with layers of darkness.

"Aiyang, cheer up. It's just that you lost to Lan Tianfang in yesterday's martial arts class. You can fight back another day. But that bastard hit hard. Are you okay, Aiyang? If you feel unwell, rest in the tree house today." Zhang Xiaoman advised, then hurriedly added: "Alright! My best friend is calling. If you two can come, hurry over. There aren't many opportunities to witness a super species' advancement."

The communication ended, and Luo Yang was lost in thought for a long time. Suddenly, he came to his senses: "It's the day of the invasion. The pineapple tree's promotion will be delayed until tonight. It's also tonight that we realize how dangerous the world is. Nangang High School invaded Canghai, destroying all the pineapple trees and stealing the clock tower mark. If it weren't for my special circumstances, I would have been eliminated from the moment Canghai High School fell."

After several deep breaths, Luo Yang clenched his fists: "My life changed from today. Sister Xiaoman sacrificed her life to save me. And Baozi, instead of being a coward, chose to fight and died in battle. Since heaven has brought my consciousness back twenty years, I will not allow the tragedy to happen again."

With that, Luo Yang grabbed his shirt and ran out of the house, as time was running out.

Canghai High School was built in a lush forest. Legend has it that fifty-three years ago, Canghai High School was not here but on the west coast of Micaizang Sea, based on an island chain facing the sea, hence its name.

Unexpectedly, a disaster fifty-three years ago almost led to Canghai High School's closure. It was thanks to several powerful students who, with great effort and perseverance, re-established the school and brought sixty pineapple trees to guard the clock tower, allowing it to flourish again.

They say that adversity breeds success, and comfort breeds failure, which is entirely true.

Since standing in the forest fifty-three years ago, Canghai High School, due to its unique location, has been in a peaceful area, right in the center of several interstellar key high schools.

However, fifty-three years of peace have made the students of Canghai High School live in a harmonious environment, carefree and unaware of the intense competition in the world, which is a hundred times more fierce than they imagine.

From a distance, among the towering trees, thirty-two golden conch-shaped domes pointed to the sky.

The campus was not luxurious or grand, but it was elegant. Each building had many platforms extending out like scallops, and early-rising students were already practicing on these platforms.

In the year 9015, humans had spread throughout the galaxy, claiming vast territories. Through constant evolution, humans had developed many special abilities. From elementary school, the focus was on developing superpowers, with no teachers, almost entirely self-taught. High school was a turning point; only by entering university could one truly embark on the journey of evolution. Those who fell behind in high school might never break through for the rest of their lives.

Luo Yang slid down the cable, rushed down from a height, and climbed onto a scallop-shaped platform, heading for the library where he needed something. However, he was stopped.

"Hey, who's this?"

Six people blocked his way, and the leader, a boy with a hooked nose, laughed: "Hahaha, it's the loser. I have to admit you have a cockroach's life. I hit you hard yesterday, and you're still running around. You know, every time I see Zhang Xiaoman's concerned look, I get itchy. You're a nobody, a waste of space in class 2-3. If it weren't for Zhang Xiaoman, you would have been dead in your first year."

"Lan Tianfang." Luo Yang's anger flared up. This guy was unforgettable, having tormented him in his first year and, on the day of the invasion, taken advantage of the chaos to try to harm Zhang Xiaoman, indirectly leading to her death.

"Attack." Lan Tianfang charged forward, kicking with his leg.

"Oh no, it's a gravity side kick." The whistling sound came, and the leg shadow was heavy. Luo Yang only remembered at this moment that the day before the invasion, he had been injured by Lan Tianfang and had been resting in the tree house all day.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Luo Yang bent his leg backward. Although his reaction speed was not slow, he was injured and not fully adapted to his body from twenty years ago, so he couldn't completely avoid it.

With a "thud," his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Lan Tianfang's cronies followed, pummeling Luo Yang with punches and kicks. Luo Yang was very anxious; if his injuries worsened, even knowing the danger today, he would be powerless to change the situation.

"Warning, fighting is prohibited on campus. Any grievances should be settled in the martial arts arena. Lan Tianfang of class 2-3, please immediately stop attacking Luo Yang." Just as Luo Yang was suffering, the school's guard robots rushed over.

There were two robots, each 2.5 meters tall, with black crystal core armor that was impervious to zero-level superpowers, which was quite intimidating to most high school students.

"Oh, oh, I'll stop. This is just a friendly sparring session between classmates. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Lan Tianfang raised his arms high and, facing the surrounding students, boasted: "Everyone should know our class's most useless Xiaoyang. They say he has superpowers, but he can't even kill a mosquito. That's right, because his greatest skill is hiding behind women. Ahaha, only the strong survive, and I'm sure everyone doesn't mind me teaching a waste of space who lowers Canghai High School's standards a lesson."

"Class 2-3 Luo Yang, do you wish to file a complaint? According to the procedure, Lan Tianfang can be placed in detention tomorrow." The robot fulfilled its duty.

Luo Yang staggered to his feet, his desire for strength never stronger. He wanted to become a powerful person and reverse his bleak life. However, he feared complications and not being able to save Sister Xiaoman and Lin Tianbao. This opportunity to return to the day of the high school invasion was too rare. So he chose to endure the humiliation and did not file a complaint, walking to the library with all his strength.

Many people gathered to watch, and seeing Luo Yang not even file a complaint, they mocked him: "What a freak, being bullied to this extent and not even daring to fight back. Class 2-3 Luo Yang, I didn't know about Xiaoyang before. Haha, I'll remember this well after today."

"I think he's smart. I heard Zhang Xiaoman and Lin Tianbao are his fellow townspeople and best friends. Without their support, why invite trouble by retaliating against Lan Tianfang?"

"Hahaha, a guy who hides behind girls, still sucking his thumb, is a disgrace to us class 2 boys. Any classmates from class 2-3? Go back and say that such a rare gem should be kept under lock and key, not let out randomly..."

Lan Tianfang looked at Luo Yang's back, feeling very surprised, and sneered: "How strange, you can endure so much today? It's a pity, it's lost its fun. But no worries, everything will be different after today."

At this moment, Luo Yang, ignoring his injuries, stepped into the library. As he entered, he slowly and solemnly raised his right hand, muttering: "With blood as the guide, in my domain, the celestial medium, appear."

A strange scene unfolded. The wounds on Luo Yang's body glowed faintly white, and the blood quickly extended into threads, wrapping around his right index finger.

In a flash, the blood threads on his index finger made a "sizzle" sound and shot out at an incredible speed. At the same time, Luo Yang's perception expanded, and when he sensed a presence, he was excited: "It's really here, the Star Book."
