My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

Yuncheng No. 2 Middle School.

The principal, still reeling from the shock and surprise of the school having produced a returnee from the primordial chaos, finally remembered that he should preside over the return ceremony.

Suppressing his excitement, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "Dear students! First of all, on behalf of the school, I would like to welcome you back."

"You have spent decades, even hundreds of years, in the myriad worlds."

"I know that each of you has been through a lot, suffered a lot, and gained a lot..."

Just as the principal looked at Meng Chuan, preparing to continue speaking, he discovered that Meng Chuan had vanished into thin air, as if he had suddenly evaporated from the face of the earth!

He was stunned.

On the playground, the figure in the gray cloth robe disappeared without warning, under everyone's gaze!

There was no light, no sound, no air currents...

It just vanished into thin air!

It was as if he had never existed.

Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, and then suddenly turned his head to look outside the fence—

Meng Chuan was already standing there.

Standing beside his family.

Xiao Yan's mouth gaped open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

He had been staring at Meng Chuan the whole time, without even blinking!

But he just couldn't see how Meng Chuan got there!

"Holy...holy shit?"

Xiao Yan swallowed hard, then turned to look at Luo Feng, "Did you see clearly?"

Luo Feng remained silent for two seconds, then slowly shook his head.

"no."

He added, "Let alone seeing clearly, I didn't even feel when he moved."

Xiao Yan then turned to look at Chen Beixuan.

Chen Beixuan's face was ashen, his lips pressed into a straight line. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out three words through gritted teeth: "...I didn't see clearly."

He is at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage!

Peak Earth Immortal!

In the world of immortals, this would be the pinnacle of existence!

But he couldn't even catch a trace of how Meng Chuan left!

At that moment, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The difference is too big!

He suddenly felt that his 150 years in the world of immortals had been wasted.

Outside the fence, Meng Shanhe and Wang Xiulan hadn't even reacted when their son suddenly appeared in front of them.

Wang Xiulan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Meng Chuan's arm.

They held on tightly, as if afraid that if they let go, he would disappear again.

"mom."

Meng Chuan looked at her and said gently, "Let's go home."

Wang Xiulan's tears welled up again. She nodded frantically, unable to speak.

Meng Xiaoyu stood to the side, her eyes red from crying, yet she was still smiling.

She wiped her face with her hand, her voice thick with a nasal tone: "Brother, welcome back!"

Meng Chuan smiled and reached out to pat her head.

He glanced at his father, Meng Shanhe.

Meng Shanhe didn't say anything, but simply reached out and patted his shoulder heavily.

That was quite a blow.

It's as if all the worries, fears, and despair of the past year have been slapped into this one palm.

It was as if she wanted to confirm that the son in front of her had really returned.

Just as Meng Chuan was preparing to leave the school with his family—

He suddenly stopped, looked up, and gazed at the sky above the playground.

A vast and powerful pressure swept down from the sky!

This oppressive aura was cold and domineering, carrying an undisguised sense of provocation!

On the playground, apart from Meng Chuan and reporter Ye Chen, everyone else felt a suffocating sense of oppression at that moment!

The students who had just returned from the worlds of low-level and high-level martial arts turned pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost couldn't stand up.

The parents were even more distraught; some collapsed to the ground, while others could barely stand by holding onto the fence.

Xiao Yan groaned, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on him, his spine creaking.

Luo Feng frowned, his internal energy surging wildly as he barely managed to steady himself.

Chen Beixuan's face was grim. His spiritual energy circulated around him as he resisted the oppressive force, but his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

So strong!

The visitors are definitely not just celestial beings!

A figure appeared in the sky.

He looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a black outfit, with a cold and stern face and eyes like knives.

He stood in the void, looking down over the entire playground, his gaze finally settling on the boy in the gray cloth robe by the fence.

"You're Meng Chuan?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire playground, exuding an undeniable domineering aura.

"My name is Shi Hao."

"Returned from the Demon Realm a year ago."

"Everyone online is saying you're a little bit better than me..."

"Did you say that yourself?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

I don't believe it.

"So, I've come to challenge you to a contest!"

"Let me see just how valuable this first guy to return from the primordial world really is!"

After he finished speaking, the entire playground fell into a deathly silence!

Shi Hao!

That demon who caused chaos in the Sakura Kingdom more than seven months ago, overturning the secret that the global leadership had kept for seven hundred years!

he came!

He came to Yuncheng No. 2 Middle School to find Meng Chuan!

He's here to challenge Meng Chuan!

All eyes turned to Meng Chuan without prior arrangement.

Meng Shanhe subconsciously took half a step forward, blocking his wife and daughter.

Wang Xiulan gripped Meng Chuan's arm tightly, her face pale.

Meng Xiaoyu hid behind her father, peeking out half her head and nervously watching the black-clad boy in the sky.

Meng Chuan, however, showed no change in expression.

He simply raised his head and looked at the black-clad boy in the sky.

His gaze was calm.

Then he spoke.

There is only one word:

"roll!"

The sound was not loud; in fact, it was quite faint.

But at the very moment that word fell—

In the sky, Shi Hao's body suddenly trembled!

It felt like being hit hard by an invisible sledgehammer!

The sneer on his face froze instantly, replaced by an incredulous look of horror!

Then, his body trembled violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Blood splattered, a shocking sight under the sunlight.

His life force weakened at an alarming rate in that instant!

It was as if all the strength had been drained from him. His body swayed in mid-air before he fell straight down, crashing heavily onto the grass of the playground.

Then, nothing happened.

If it weren't for the sudden, deathly silence in the environment, where his faint breathing could be clearly heard, everyone might have thought he was dead.

"This...is it really...that Shi Hao? A Golden Immortal expert?"

After a long while, Xiao Yan finally came to his senses. Looking at the black-clad boy lying peacefully on the lawn not far away, he murmured to himself in a somewhat lost and dejected manner.

"I think...right?"

Luo Feng was also stunned by the scene before him, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at where Meng Chuan was.

Is this what you call "slightly better"?

It should be a tiny bit, right?!
