Mute the world and listen to the sound of bones breaking.

It was just the strength of two fingers, but they were Lu Ce's fingers!

The opponent's jaw was instantly crushed, and the entire joint was dislocated to prevent any more shouting or speaking.

"Buddy, since you're out of your mind anyway, I won't hold back..."

A strength of 10 points already surpasses human limits, and Lu Ce now has 24 points!

In fact, he was already holding back. If he had used his full strength, it wouldn't just be a shattered jaw but a shattered skull.

Boom!

The immense impact, combined with Lu Ce's finger-guided force, sent the opponent, who had no self-awareness, crashing headfirst into the wall behind him!

Lu Ce also slightly sidestepped, "dodging" the impact.

Crack, crack...

Bricks shattered, and debris flew everywhere. It was unclear if the opponent had such impact power or if Lu Ce's strength amplified it.

A large web of cracks appeared on the wall, almost ready to collapse.

Outside was the campus, and Liu Peng's massive body had already slumped to the ground, his head sticking out, unconscious.

The entire process was swift. The distance between the two was just five meters, and from the opponent's charge to crashing into the wall, it took only a second.

Lu Ce acted when the opponent blocked his body, moving as fast as lightning, with no warning signs.

Zhao Jiacheng had rushed over by now, standing in place, dumbfounded by the scene before him, unsure of what to say.

His gaze shifted between Lu Ce and the giant unconscious on the ground, his mind unable to process it all.

From his perspective, Lu Ce suddenly provoked, the opponent went berserk and charged, and Lu Ce remained motionless.

Then, somehow, Lu Ce sidestepped, and the opponent knocked himself out against the wall.

The whole thing seemed inexplicably easy, contrasting sharply with the previous tension, bizarre and absurd.

Earlier, Zhao Jiacheng was on edge, imagining Lu Ce getting seriously injured or killed, and himself bearing the responsibility for a life.

But now, it seemed like nothing happened?

Not just him, when Liu Peng, transformed into a giant, charged, the crowd gasped, many snapping photos while closing their eyes.

Now, seeing Lu Ce unharmed, there was a sudden quiet, as if things weren't supposed to turn out this way.

"You...?"

Zhao Jiacheng frowned at Lu Ce, looking him up and down, seeing that Lu Ce seemed uninjured.

"He ran into it himself, don't try to pin it on me, I don't have to take any responsibility, right?" Lu Ce quickly said.

Zhao Jiacheng: ?

"Is that all you're thinking about?" Zhao Jiacheng felt exasperated, this guy's thought process seemed off. "Are you okay?"

"Does mental distress count? I've suffered severe psychological damage, can I apply for state compensation?" Lu Ce argued.

Zhao Jiacheng: ...

"Forget it, as long as you're okay."

"But in the future, don't play hero. I heard you decided to lure this crazy guy away to protect your classmates."

"Always prioritize your safety."

Lu Ce: ?

Wait, where did you get this information? What kind of misunderstanding is this?

At this moment, another commotion erupted behind them, and the crowd, which had retreated far away, slowly gathered around again.

"Amazing!"

"What kind of reflexes are those, comparable to an F1 driver."

"Calm under pressure, my buddy."

For a moment, there were endless praises, photos being taken, and short videos being uploaded.

The dean hurried over, fussing over Lu Ce, worried that if something serious happened today, his career might be affected.

Applause even erupted from the crowd, making Lu Ce feel like a successful matador.

Quite fitting, wasn't the "bull" knocked out too?

Seeing so many students gathering, Zhao Jiacheng quickly ordered them to stop, and teachers came out to maintain order.

Soon, several people in special blue uniforms squeezed in, surrounding Liu Peng, doing something unknown.

Lu Ce casually responded a few times, repeatedly assuring the dean he didn't need to go to the hospital, and tried to blend into the crowd.

Zhao Jiacheng watched Lu Ce's retreating figure, frowning, and suddenly called out again:

"Wait a moment."

He took out a golden business card from the inner pocket of his uniform.

Lu Ce turned around, and Zhao Jiacheng handed over his card.

"This is my card, keep it."

"I have a lot of follow-up work to do, and the scene will be sealed off soon, so I don't have time to chat."

"But if you feel you should contact me, then do so."

In his last sentence, Zhao Jiacheng emphasized "you should," looking into Lu Ce's eyes, as if implying something.

Lu Ce took the card without looking at it and stuffed it into his pocket, agreeing while slipping away.

Zhao Jiacheng said nothing more, returning to his colleagues to handle the incident.

"Are you okay?" Xie Antong approached, asking softly, seeing Lu Ce nod.

Seeing Lu Ce escape successfully, she breathed a sigh of relief, then felt puzzled.

Why did Lu Ce seem so certain he wouldn't be harmed? Was he that confident in his abilities? Did he gain agility-related skills in the game?

Why did that strange thing seem so "infatuated" with Lu Ce, always chasing him?

She decided to keep these questions to herself for now and ask later.

...

Watching the students being dispersed, the police line set up, and the special department continuing their work, Zhao Jiacheng exhaled deeply, reflecting on the day's events.

The situation was so sudden, even he was a bit confused.

"A high school student, calm under pressure, with such psychological resilience and reaction speed."

"And he never seemed nervous or afraid..."

Muttering to himself, the student from earlier left a deep impression on him.

In this world, only two types of people remain calm in crises: fools who can't see the situation, and those who have confidence...

"Captain Zhao, we've completed the basic investigation." At this moment, a female staff member in a blue uniform hurried in, holding several files.

"But there's something odd about the injuries."

"Besides the fractured forehead from the impact, the jaw is shattered for some unknown reason."
