"You? The weakest World Master in history, and you dare mock me?!"
Xiang Hu's face flushed red with anger as he snapped,
"Even a single scale off my back is bigger than your entire world!"
"Just one of my Lizardman scouts could easily sweep through your domain!"
"What right do you have to speak like that?!"
Being ridiculed in public, especially by a fellow student,
was too much for Teacher Lv. His expression darkened as he barked,
"Young people shouldn't be so impulsive!"
"Once you step into society, you'll understand—there are vast gulfs between people."
"The depths of an ice world are not something you can handle. Rather than holding back that young lady's future..."
"Why not bless a fine union? If ice and fire cultivate together, Xiang Hu and Chi Lansu could reach unimaginable heights."
As he spoke, Teacher Lv flicked his wrist.
A blood-red card materialized in his hand, which he held up with a smirk.
The background of the card was crimson, depicting a bloodline dragonkin.
The card's name: Thin Dragon Blood.
"Do you know what this is?"
"A B-grade Dragon Blood Card! Specially prepared by the school for Xiang Hu.
If his Lizardmen awaken their ancestral blood, he could very well claim the city's top spot and bring glory to our school."
"And what do you have to show?"
So that was their true motive for coming here.
Seeing Teacher Lv berating her student,
Teacher Li looked deeply embarrassed and was about to speak up—
But Su Bai didn't retreat in the slightest.
He retorted sharply:
"Since you're so convinced by strength, and love to throw your weight around…"
"Then let's settle it your way—with a Plane War in the Battle Chamber!"
"I ask you this—do you dare?"
The room went silent at once.
Chi Lansu's face turned pale. She tried to speak,
but Su Bai gently stopped her.
Teacher Li and the principal studied Su Bai carefully.
He appeared composed, confident—radiating calm certainty.
But their minds were filled with confusion.
How could he say something like that?
Even with resource cards, how far could a measly 1-kilometer world have grown overnight?
Teacher Lv frowned, about to object,
when Xiang Hu—eager to prevent Su Bai from backing out—leapt forward:
"Fine! It's settled!"
"Right now!"
The school had designated classrooms with world projection devices.
Seeing that Xiang Hu had taken the bait,
a small smile curled at the corner of Su Bai's mouth.
He was short on resources—
and now someone had delivered them straight to his door. It'd be rude to refuse.
"If the youth want to solve their disputes their own way,
then this old man will act as referee,"
the cheerful principal said, clearly enjoying the drama.
"After the Plane War, no matter what happens, no one is allowed to regret it."
And with that, he personally led them toward the Battle Chamber.
On the way, Teacher Li's face was filled with worry.
"You were too impulsive. Xiang Hu spent last night training his world—issuing militarized commands to his Lizardmen."
"His forces are all madmen bred for battle. He's gone full extreme."
"I don't know what you developed overnight, but your natural disadvantage puts you far behind."
Chi Lansu quietly clutched Su Bai's arm,
the sweat in her palm betraying her anxiety.
"You were too rash just now. Why fight with an idiot?"
"And if something goes wrong during the match… I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Based on her understanding of Su Bai,
he wasn't the type to act without planning.
Which only deepened her confusion.
She even wished she could fight in his place.
But Su Bai, relaxed, whispered playfully:
"Well, if I lose, how about you become my consolation prize?"
"Ugh, in your dreams."
Chi Lansu's cheeks reddened, and she glared up at him—
but released her grip.
As they walked into the Battle Chamber,
someone must've leaked the news—
because within moments, the entire No.3 High School was in an uproar!
It was the end of the term; students were already restless.
After all, seniors had just awakened their worlds—
and everyone was curious about world projections.
Now there was going to be a live Plane War?!
Who wouldn't be excited?
"Quick, head to the Battle Chamber! Two seniors are about to start a Plane War!"
"For real? The teachers didn't stop them?"
"Why would they? They encourage this kind of sparring!"
"This is the first time we get to see a real Plane War!"
"Wait, what are they fighting over?"
"I heard it's about a girl."
"What?! Risking it all for love?"
"Supposedly, one of them is Su Bai—the one who awakened a 1-kilometer world yesterday—and he's challenging Xiang Hu from Class 3, who has 10 kilometers. That's a 1:10 power gap!"
"Damn… going all in for love, knowing the odds. I respect that."
"Man, I'm all in on this romance."
...
Within moments, a whirlwind swept through the campus.
Over a thousand students converged on the Battle Chamber.
Even the teachers were drawn in,
eager to see the spectacle.
Students still in class were twitchy with anticipation,
restless and fidgeting, craning to catch a glimpse of the action.
Even shops and pedestrians outside the school noticed the commotion—
and as the rumors spread, the tale twisted and morphed…
Until eventually, people were saying the battle was over a female teacher.
"Why are so many people gathering outside?"
Inside the Battle Chamber, Teacher Li glanced helplessly toward the windows—
silhouettes pressed against the glass,
a sea of heads craning for a view.
At this point, the hype was too great.
There was no backing down now.
"Hey, Teacher Zhang, you're here too?"
"And Director Wang?"
Even more faculty had joined the crowd inside the Battle Chamber.
Director Wang chuckled,
"Word is, someone's about to challenge a 10-times stronger opponent in a Plane War.
How could I miss that?"
"Ah, youth. So thrilling."
Seeing the ever-growing excitement,
and the crowd swelling around them—
Xiang Hu grinned wide.
"With thousands of students and teachers watching,
it's too late for you to run!"
"After today, you'll be the biggest joke Guang City No.3 High School has ever seen!"
"I'll show you how ten times the world size is an unbridgeable gulf!"
"It certainly is,"
Su Bai replied, his tone a little strange.
After all, there was a tenfold difference between their worlds…
"Activate the world projector."
As the principal began setting it up—
Teacher Lv, clearly enjoying the show, added:
"Since this is a proper duel, there should be stakes."
"My student's B-grade Dragon Blood Card is worth a fortune."
"Student Su, what are you wagering?"
Teacher Li flared with anger.
Was this man trying to roast Su Bai over open flame?
With so many witnesses,
if he couldn't put something up—or worse, if he lost—
he'd become a school-wide joke, remembered for life!
Su Bai was also speechless.
"Teacher Lv, seriously? Are you trying to bury your own student?"
He'd just wanted to teach Xiang Hu a lesson—
but now they were digging a pit and tossing him in!
"Yes! A duel needs a proper wager!"
Xiang Hu laughed proudly.
"That's what makes it exciting. Winners take all!"
"I'll prove to you—beauty belongs to the strong!"
"This world is survival of the fittest!
Weakness is a sin!"
"Of course, if you have nothing to wager, or if you're too scared…"
"Then kneel right here, in front of all our teachers and classmates—
and knock your head three times in apology."
"I might be kind enough to forgive your insult."
Hah.
Xiang Hu had just buried himself in the pit and started shoveling.
"Hahahaha!"
Su Bai burst out laughing—
loud and free.
Laughed so hard that the entire No.3 High School could hear it.
Laughed so hard that the thousand students and teachers fell silent in awe.
