[TIMER: 59.9 SECONDS...]
The instant Gu Changsheng said “Begin,” all eighty-eight golden arms of the Omni-Protagonist Amalgamation Monster swung down toward the five Gu children like a collapsing mountain of sharpened divine steel!
“DIE, YOU LITTLE BRATS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! THIRTY YEARS EAST OF THE RIVER, THIRTY YEARS WEST OF THE RIVER, DON’T BULLY A YOUNG MAN FOR BEING POOR!
TODAY I WILL—”
The eight heads of the ten-thousand-foot abomination had barely bellowed the first half of their favorite arrogance-and-divorce catchphrase when fifteen-year-old Gu Nian and eleven-year-old Little Fifth moved in unison!
“Classroom Rule Number One: Sit down properly when class starts!” Gu Nian shouted, his voice ringing clear and steady across the five-hundred-mile schoolroom domain as he stomped his right boot onto the wooden floor!
“And keep all eighty-eight hands flat on the desk!” Little Fifth yelled, slamming his golden engineering wrench onto a brass formation plate!
CLANG—THOOOOOM!!
