Chapter 13 - Feared for Power, Not Respected for Virtue!

At that moment, Lan Tianyu's mind stirred slightly.

Two streams of condensed crimson internal energy, almost tangible, ignored the barrier of space.

They instantly appeared on Wang Dadong and Wang Arthur's shoulders and pressed down heavily.

In truth, he could have simply relied on brute force to suppress them.

But doing so would consume a considerable amount of internal energy.

By using the cursed technique "Blue," however, he could avoid that loss.

This idea had come from the small inspiration he gained while punishing Jin Bao San earlier.

Under the observation of Six Eyes, he clearly noticed that the small fireball he launched earlier weakened as the distance increased.

If that was the case—

Why not eliminate the distance entirely and strengthen the power slightly?

Since the idea had formed in his mind, naturally he had to test it.

The result was excellent.

He could clearly feel that the two streams of external internal energy suffered almost zero loss during transmission.

For Wang Dadong and Wang Arthur—

That was far from pleasant.

Even though it was just a single stream of internal energy, the pressure felt like Mount Tai pressing down.

The immense force locked onto their shoulders, crushing their bones, muscles, and meridians.

The suffocating weight nearly made it impossible for them to breathe.

A combat power index exceeding 20,000—

Even a tiny portion of that strength was enough to create overwhelming suppression.

"I'm the strongest high schooler in history! Hold on!"

Wang Dadong roared as his combat power index erupted.

[2215… 5261… 7365… 9165]

Then he pulled out a silver pan from behind his back.

Its surface was carved with intricate patterns.

From top to bottom, the design clearly formed the shape of a dragon.

This was Wang Dadong's spirit weapon—

The Dragon Pattern Wok.

The moment it appeared, it burst into brilliant red light and merged into Wang Dadong's body at lightning speed.

The next instant—

His Stronger-When-Strong ability activated.

Internal energy erupted like a volcanic explosion.

His combat power index began to surge again.

[9165… 9862… 10569… 11369]

"Party time!"

Wang Dadong shouted his signature catchphrase, releasing all his internal energy in an attempt to break free from the restraints.

In the eyes of the others—

The golden light surrounding Wang Dadong condensed into a dazzling sphere the size of an egg.

It shot directly toward the crimson internal energy on his shoulder.

Everyone held their breath.

A spark of hope ignited in their eyes.

They hoped that Wang Dadong's explosive power could challenge the authority of the new teacher.

If that happened—

Life in the future might become easier.

Of course, defeating him was something they didn't dare imagine.

That simply wasn't realistic.

Unfortunately—

Reality was cruel.

Even though surpassing 10,000 combat power represented a qualitative leap for Wang Dadong—

In the face of absolute strength, it was still insufficient.

The golden sphere collided with the crimson internal energy—

And melted instantly, like snow under sunlight.

Not even the slightest ripple appeared.

Although the crimson energy dimmed slightly, it still remained like an unbreakable shackle pressing firmly on Wang Dadong's shoulder.

Seeing this, the students' expressions filled with disappointment.

"So even after breaking ten thousand combat power… he still can't shake off that internal energy…"

Watching this scene, the last trace of eagerness in Wang Arthur's eyes completely faded.

All that remained in his heart was a heavy sigh.

The gap was too large.

Large enough to cause despair.

Even if he drew the Sword in the Stone and fought with everything he had—

The result would likely be the same as Wang Dadong's.

His pride refused to accept it.

But his rational mind told him clearly—

Meaningless provocation would only bring humiliation.

A true strong person should know when to hide their strength in the face of overwhelming power.

"Kids really are stubborn."

"If you'd just let me establish my authority peacefully, everything would have been much simpler."

Lan Tianyu spoke calmly.

Then he teleported directly in front of Wang Dadong and lightly patted his shoulder.

Buzz!

The crimson internal energy pressing down on Wang Dadong's shoulder vanished instantly.

At the same time, a gentle yet irresistible force surged into Wang Dadong's body, forcibly suppressing the combat power he had just pushed beyond his limits.

Lan Tianyu then turned his gaze toward Wang Arthur.

Arthur did not resist.

In fact—

He lowered his head.

Lan Tianyu tapped his shoulder lightly as well, withdrawing the internal energy.

After finishing everything, Lan Tianyu silently returned to the podium.

His calm gaze swept across the classroom.

At that moment—

Everyone, including Wang Dadong, lowered their proud heads.

[Wang Dadong's favorability toward the host: Low. Collection speed +50%!]

[Wang Arthur's favorability toward the host: Low. Collection speed +50%!]

Hearing the system notification, Lan Tianyu wasn't surprised.

KO.1 and KO.2 rarely appeared.

These two had always stood at the peak and had never tasted defeat.

On top of that, both came from wealthy families and lacked nothing.

Worldly desires like money, beauty, and power meant little to them.

If he wanted their recognition—

He had to crush them in the very field they were most proud of.

Make them personally experience the difference between heaven and earth.

That was what it meant to be feared for power rather than respected for virtue.

If he had shown even the slightest weakness today, he would never have gained Wang Dadong and Wang Arthur's recognition.

As for Ding Xiaoyu…

The original story mentioned that he disliked violence.

Failing to gain his favor through force was perfectly normal.

"I'm here to become the P.E. teacher of Ultimate Class."

"Do any of you have objections?"

Lan Tianyu's voice was calm, yet filled with unquestionable authority.

The students looked at each other.

Then they shook their heads like rattles.

Who would dare say no?

If they did, they might as well be asking for death.

"Your strength… I acknowledge it as the strongest high schooler in history."

"You're qualified to be our teacher."

Wang Dadong crossed his arms and dropped onto the sofa.

Although his tone still carried some dissatisfaction from being suppressed, his words clearly contained a hint of acceptance.

Once the leader of Ultimate Class had spoken—

The matter was essentially settled.

The other students finally breathed in relief.

They were terrified that Wang Dadong's stubborn personality would force him into a reckless fight.
