At that very moment, a vast crimson internal energy surged from Lan Tianyu like a boundless abyss.
Immediately after—
His combat power index began to soar.
[5236… 10362… 15364… 20402]
In an instant, the overwhelming aura suppressed the entire room.
Lan Tianyu slowly released Sha Jie's fist.
His deep, calm gaze settled on the blonde girl in front of him, who had frozen in extreme shock.
He said nothing.
He simply looked at her quietly.
At this moment, Sha Jie's fist was still only a short distance away from Jin Bao San.
If it moved forward even a little—
It would hit him.
But she… didn't dare move.
Not even the slightest bit.
A chilling fear from the depths of her soul wrapped around her heart like a venomous snake.
She could clearly feel that an aura countless times stronger than her full power had completely locked onto her.
Like invisible chains binding her body.
If she dared move even slightly—
That seemingly calm teacher would destroy her before her fist could even reach Jin Bao San.
Her mind went blank.
She could never have imagined that this newly arrived teacher was actually a super expert.
Judging by his appearance, he was only four or five years older than them—
Yet his combat power index exceeded theirs by more than ten thousand points.
Just how had this man trained?
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Time seemed to freeze.
The entire Ultimate Class became so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.
All the noise, all the anger, all the arrogance—
Were crushed instantly under the terrifying 20,000+ combat power index.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Shock.
Fear.
Confusion.
Their eyes were drawn like magnets toward the tall figure standing on the podium.
At the back of the classroom—
Wang Dadong, who had been sitting with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression…
Wang Arthur, who had just transferred to Ultimate Class today and had been observing everything coldly…
Ding Xiaoyu, who had been immersed in his own world, quietly flipping through his piano score…
The three of them stood up at the same time, as if struck by an invisible hammer.
All traces of calmness or indifference disappeared from their faces.
What replaced them was extreme shock, horror—
And a faint, undeniable sense of defeat.
As KO.3 and KO.4 on the KO Ranking, they understood better than anyone what it meant for someone's combat power index to exceed 20,000.
It represented an absolute gap in strength.
Not merely several times stronger—
But dozens or even hundreds of times stronger.
In front of this man, the strength they were proud of was nothing more than a child's toy.
If Lan Tianyu wished—
He could crush everyone here as easily as stepping on ants.
As for resisting…
Against such absolute power, it was nothing but a pathetic illusion.
"Heh…"
A faint chuckle broke the suffocating silence.
Lan Tianyu slowly swept his gaze across the frightened faces below.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Since he would be dealing with Ultimate Class for a long time, he had no intention of using gentle methods.
Teaching according to the situation was the real way.
If they liked violence—
Then he would simply be more violent.
Anyone who refused to submit would be beaten until they did.
"So this is the legendary Ultimate Class?"
His voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly entered every student's ears, carrying a cold tone of superiority.
"Not very impressive."
"I thought this place held some ancient beasts that required strict supervision."
His gaze swept across the overturned desks and the trembling students who were still standing.
Finally, it stopped on Sha Jie's pale face.
"So it turns out you're nothing more than a group of fierce-looking yet timid little kittens."
Silence.
Still the same deathly silence.
His humiliating words burned like red-hot iron on the pride of every student present.
Yet what they produced was not rebellion—
But an even deeper silence.
No one dared to argue.
No one dared glare back.
No one even dared breathe loudly.
Before absolute power, pride and arrogance were fragile things.
Lan Tianyu was right.
In front of him, they truly were nothing more than frightened little cats.
"Haa…"
Beside him, Jin Bao San's tense body finally collapsed in relief.
He admitted that he had gambled earlier.
But he had gambled correctly.
This new teacher was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
A combat power index exceeding 20,000 was enough to suppress everyone in Ultimate Class.
Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could reclaim the position of class leader and rule Ultimate Class once again.
Meanwhile—
Tian Xin stood there in a daze.
She had never cultivated a combat power index, so she couldn't see Lan Tianyu's true strength.
But judging from the students' terrified expressions—
It was obvious that Lan Tianyu was extremely powerful.
For a moment, she didn't know what to think.
Perhaps Teacher Lan could become the class advisor?
If that happened, the students might become more obedient and finally enter university.
Her thoughts began to wander.
Below the podium—
No one dared look at the towering figure standing there like a demon.
No one dared speak.
Some students turned to look at Wang Dadong at the back.
Others turned toward Wang Arthur.
After all, they were KO.3 on the KO ranking.
If anyone could bear the pressure, it had to be them.
Following their gazes, Lan Tianyu looked toward Wang Dadong and Wang Arthur.
Although they felt unprecedented pressure, the pride in their bones prevented them from showing fear.
They straightened their backs.
Their eyes met Lan Tianyu's calm yet overwhelmingly oppressive gaze.
Lan Tianyu smiled faintly, a playful curve appearing at his lips.
Then—
His right index finger moved slightly downward.
The cursed technique "Blue" activated instantly.
An invisible link formed in an instant, existing only at a microscopic level.
It ignored physical distance—
And strangely folded the space between them.
In terms of spatial concept, the distance between Lan Tianyu, Wang Dadong, and Wang Arthur had been forcibly reduced to zero.
Yet in reality—
None of them had moved even an inch.
