Gao Wu: I grow stronger with each death.

Chapter 56 Children, I'm here!

Donghua Residential Area.

In a simple, dilapidated bedroom that smelled musty.

Wang Feng sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the television with a gloomy expression, as if his soul had been ripped out, leaving only an empty shell.

His indifferent, lifeless eyes were no different from those of a walking corpse.

Until a news report came on the television.

According to statistics, a total of 659 people died in the "April 15th Rift Terror" incident. In response to this mass casualty event, more than two thousand family members of the victims have jointly filed a protest and appeal. In the appeal against the company involved, "Boundary Exploration Management Co., Ltd.", the prosecution emphasized...

"drop."

Wang Feng turned off the television.

This seems to be the only thing he can muster the energy to do right now.

"I'm going to school now to retrieve Wang Sheng's belongings."

The voice of his wife, Gu Xiumei, came from the doorway.

Wang Feng looked up when he heard the sound and saw that Gu Xiumei's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying again.

"I'll go too."

Wang Feng spoke up, picking up the newly purchased medical prosthesis beside him. The comfort level of this thing was several levels higher.

This was bought with the money Wenjing gave me.

This little girl insisted that there was some kind of medicine among Wang Sheng's belongings that she found, and that she sold it for two million yuan, and then forced the money on the couple.

Wang Feng wasn't stupid. If his son really had that many valuable things, why would he lie and risk going into the Origin Realm?

Clearly, this was Wenjing's way of making amends for feeling guilty.

Despite Wang Feng's repeated refusal, the young woman was quite stubborn and insisted on giving him the money.

Wang Feng and Gu Xiumei discussed it and decided that if the money could put Wenjing's mind at ease, they would accept it.

Actually, neither of them blamed the girl, nor did they harbor any hatred towards her.

Or rather, after losing their child, the two of them could no longer muster any other emotions besides grief.

Soon Wang Feng put on his prosthetic leg and followed Gu Xiumei out of the room.

"Xiumei..."

"What's wrong?"

"In a few days, I'd like to visit some comrades in the Rift Battlefield... and while I'm at it, I'll rejoin the army."

"......Um."

This time, Gu Xiumei did not try to persuade her again.

......

Meanwhile, at Qingjiang No. 12 Middle School.

In a practical training class for junior high school students with special abilities.

"Wow!"

Yang Xin cried out in pain, and along with seven or eight classmates, fell from the sky.

"Liu Yingwan, your telekinetic power is too unfair! It takes at least seventeen or eighteen people to get close to you! Damn it, no wonder you were the top student in the entire school's mock exam, you can just pick any school you want?!"

Yang Xin couldn't help but sigh, "Even small places can produce monsters!"

Not long ago, Liu Yingwan broke through to level E with her supernatural ability before the mock joint exam and obtained a level two ability master certificate.

At the same time, she completed her entry into the country and officially became a Level 1 martial artist.

As you can imagine, Liu Yingwan made a stunning debut, becoming someone that all her classmates could only dream of.

Admittedly, Liu Yingwan's success is inseparable from the guidance of a private tutor, but the key factors are her terrifying talent and her hard work over the past month.

In comparison, Yang Xin's electric shock ability is only enough to numb someone.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

"Um."

Liu Yingwan nodded slightly in response to Yang Xin, and soon she left the battlefield to train alone.

To be honest, it's not very meaningful for her to spar with her classmates anymore; at most, she can be considered as a sparring partner for them. Her classmates are no longer qualified for formal training.

Watching her silently train, Yang Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, ever since Wang Sheng died in the Origin Realm, Liu Yingwan's mental state has been very worrying. Her father is really something, he's so focused on training his daughter to be successful that he doesn't even care about her mental health... Oh well, it's none of my business."

Yang Xin's only worry right now is that he hasn't seen Butcher fight at the Wild Ambition Boxing Arena for a whole month.

He's had a tough time too, okay?!

The practical training session passed by in the blink of an eye.

During the break, Liu Yingwan returned to the classroom, propped her head up, and stared at the empty desk beside her. As her thoughts drifted, she couldn't help but recall many memories.

She and Wang Sheng met when they were seven years old.

At that time, her family was not so rich. Everyone in the family was busy working and making money, and they rarely took care of her. Liu Yingwan was forced to be sensible and not make a fuss in this environment.

Then one day when she was seven, her only act of rebellion, which involved going to the corner store to buy a piece of candy, resulted in her being targeted by a stray dog...

Wang Sheng happened to be passing by at that moment.

The rest of the story seems rather cliché to outsiders.

It's nothing more than a story of a hero fighting a vicious dog, with the hero ultimately emerging victorious.

But this was very different for Liu Yingwan.

When the wounded hero stood protectively in front of the princess, a light, hotter than the sun, appeared in her eyes.

She still remembers what Wang Sheng said to comfort her when his head was covered in blood:

"Don't be afraid, my dad is a great hero fighting on the front lines! So am I, I'm not afraid of pain!"

Well, I wonder which guy was the one who cried out loud when he heard at the hospital that he needed stitches in his head.

After that...

As Liu Yingwan fell into thought, she didn't notice that class had already started.

To her, the voice of her homeroom teacher, Lao Qin, was nothing more than meaningless background noise.

But suddenly...

The sound stopped, and the classroom fell silent.

When Liu Yingwan looked over, she saw Wang Sheng's parents standing on the stage.

"I'm so sorry, Teacher Qin, for causing you trouble during class. We'll get things sorted out quickly."

Old Qin nodded:

"No trouble at all, it's nothing... Zhang Zhichao, go help pack up Wang Sheng's things."

"yes!"

Squad leader Zhang Zhichao immediately stood up.

Liu Yingwan nodded and greeted Wang Feng and his companion as they approached.

"Uncle, Auntie."

Gu Xiumei forced a smile:

"Yingwan, you must do well on your exams. You'll definitely amount to something in the future, unlike my son..."

At this point, she choked up, lowered her head, and silently put away her books.

At this moment, watching this scene, Lao Qin was also filled with emotion.

For martial artists, dying in the Origin Realm doesn't seem to be a rare thing. Many of the students he taught disappeared soon after graduating from their specialized courses, and it was only when people mentioned the students again that they learned that the students had died.

But those things happened so far in the past that by the time they reached my ears, they seemed to have little significance.

But things are different now; one of his students has died.

He died because of the permission certificate he issued to leave school.

"well......"

In a moment of melancholy.

Suddenly, Lao Qin frowned. He felt a surge of powerful and aggressive blood rushing into the classroom!

That feeling...

It was like a vicious wolf crawling out of the abyss, as if it wanted to devour something.

"Who goes there?! How dare you act so recklessly in school?!"

He shouted and threw a powerful punch at the figure rushing through the door!

The newcomer neither dodged nor evaded, and also threw a punch!

"boom!"

The two fists collided with a thunderous explosion!
