Lords of the Old Ones? I thought it was a speed bump.

Chapter 24: Building Muscles Damaged the Brain

To be honest, Lin Jue didn't have a very good impression of these high school classmates.

Aside from his close friend Jiang Fan, who often talks to him and asks him to play,

Most of the students in Class 2 of Senior Three often made fun of him and even bullied him.

Especially the group of female classmates, whenever Lin Jue was sweating profusely while training in the classroom.

They always looked at him and smiled, some even calling out in sweet voices:

"Handsome, your pecs have gotten even bigger. Can I touch them? Hehe."

Lin Jue knew they were mocking him, so he ignored them and continued to swing the dumbbells in his hands with great force.

Seeing him training so seriously, the girls gathered around him, laughing and joking.

As they watched, several girls even secretly reached out and groped Lin Jue.

Without a doubt, this is definitely school bullying, and it's absolutely outrageous.

It's just that Lin Jue has a good temper, and their bullying wasn't too severe, so he could barely tolerate it.

Although Lin Jue didn't care about being bullied, he wasn't kind enough to treat these people well either.

So when faced with the looks of admiration from his classmates, Lin Jue didn't feel anything, just annoyance.

Just then, Duan Hong breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, patted Lin Jue on the shoulder, and smiled:

"Thanks to your timely awakening, it seems we're saved this time."

This was because of the appearance of Lin Jue, an extraordinary individual who possessed supernatural powers and managed to stop the bus with his physical body.

Duan Hong's emotions stabilized considerably, and his rationality returned to normal.

To be honest, if Lin Jue hadn't appeared, he might have already triggered "daydreaming syndrome" and turned into a pile of mud.

After praising Lin Jue, Duan Hongcai organized the students to get off the bus in an orderly manner.

Although I don't know where I'm going, getting off the bus first is definitely the right thing to do.

It was only after everyone got off the bus and stood on the wide roadside that things started to change.

Bai Tingting looked at Lin Jue's bloodied and mangled feet and her heart trembled.

Then he quickly ran back to the bus that was about to fall apart.

After rummaging through his suitcase for a while, he quickly returned carrying a first-aid kit.

"Lin Jue," Bai Tingting said softly as she approached Lin Jue, who was looking around.

"Please sit down first. Let me clean your wound. It will get infected if left untreated."

Lin Jue first glanced at Bai Tingting, nodded, and then moved a large rock over and sat on it.

Bai Tingting didn't shy away from suspicion, taking out alcohol and gauze from her medical kit in front of so many people.

She actually knelt down and carefully cleaned the abrasions and scratches on his feet.

Seeing Bai Tingting's serious expression, many classmates exchanged knowing glances.

Goodness, before, the class monitor liked Lin Jue secretly, but now he's too lazy to even pretend.

It's no wonder, though, since Lin Jue is not only handsome and has a great physique, but he's also an extraordinary being.

With these qualities, not only Bai Tingting, but also the other girls in the class were quite envious of him.

To be honest, several female classmates in the class originally planned to come over and fawn over Lin Jue.

Unexpectedly, Bai Tingting suddenly took decisive action and took on the task of cleaning his wounds all by herself.

Well, now they could only stand helplessly to the side, watching the girl kneeling on the ground with envy.

Ten minutes later, Bai Tingting carefully cleaned and disinfected the wound.

Immediately, she looked at her big feet, which she had bandaged beautifully, and tied a bow on the instep with satisfaction.

"Okay, you rest for a bit, I'll go get you a bottle of water."

While Bai Tingting skipped and hopped to the car to get water,

Jiang Fan, who had been watching for a long time, finally came over and whispered a joke:

"I told you before that the class monitor likes you, but you wouldn't believe me, you blockhead. Now you believe me, right?"

But Lin Jue looked puzzled upon hearing this, tilting his head slightly and asking in return:

"Why do you believe her now? Has she shown any sign that she likes me?"

Holy crap! Are you serious?

Seeing that he actually asked such an absurd question with a serious expression.

Jiang Fan's lips twitched, and he replied with a wry smile:

"He even personally treated your foot wound, and you still can't tell he's interested in you?"

"If I go to the hospital for a checkup, won't all the nurses be interested in me?"

"No, that's what nurses do! They're paid to do things, and the shift leader didn't take any money from you. If she's offering to treat you, what else could it be but that she's interested in you?"

Jiang Fan originally thought his logic was sound enough.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Jue shook his head again and replied calmly:

"Bai Tingting's initiative to help me with treatment shows that she is very smart. She knows that the life and death of the entire class are on my shoulders at this time, so naturally she will do her best to assist me. That makes perfect sense, right?"

From an objective point of view, Lin Jue's words are perfectly correct.

He is now the only superhuman among this group, and their only savior.

If Lin Jue's wounds continue to worsen, the probability of him leading everyone to escape from the paradoxical plane will decrease.

In other words, Bai Tingting is helping Lin Jue now, which is essentially the same as helping herself.

After all, we're all in the same boat, our fates are already intertwined.

Of course, although Lin Jue's words made perfect sense, Jiang Fan was so speechless that he covered his forehead.

Good heavens! How can there be a man in the world who is so oblivious to emotions? Did he damage his brain while working out his muscles?

The class monitor is really pitiful. He's been so direct, yet the other person hasn't reacted at all.

Just as Jiang Fan was speechless with grief over Bai Tingting's doomed romance, which was destined to end without fruition.

Teacher Duan Hong had already pushed through the crowd and walked over to this side, handing a pair of old sneakers to Lin Jue.

"You're lucky. The driver had a pair of sneakers he forgot to take home in his glove compartment. Since your shoe sizes are similar, you can wear them for now."

Lin Jue didn't stand on ceremony. After thanking him, he took the shoes and slowly put them on.

He didn't care that it was someone else's shoes, because the current situation didn't allow him to think about such trivial matters.

Don't forget, the group has only escaped the out-of-control bus; they are far from safe.

As for how to leave this "paradoxical plane," Lin Jue has absolutely no clue.

As Lin Jue finished putting on his shoes and stood up, Duan Hong coughed lightly and took the initiative to ask:

"Lin Jue, what do you think we should do now?"

His meaning was very clear: he was now following Lin Jue's lead.

Lin Jue told us what to do, where to go, and how to escape.

Under these circumstances, Duan Hong, as the homeroom teacher, should have shouldered his leadership responsibilities.

But he clearly didn't feel qualified to lead Lin Jue, so he decisively relinquished power.

Of course, the vast majority of students had no objection to this arrangement.

After all, Lin Jue had already fully demonstrated his strength and adaptability.

So much so that most of the students present admired him greatly... except for Gao Zhigui.

After that thrilling parking maneuver...

And after witnessing Bai Tingting gently bandaging Lin Jue's foot wounds.

Gao Zhigui, who already had a very bad relationship with him, was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Why? Why is this penniless wretch able to awaken superpowers?

I'm handsome and have a good family background, so why am I not the one who awakens?

And the class monitor even bandaged his foot wound? Isn't she a germaphobe? Doesn't she mind the dirt now?

Thinking of this, Gao Zhigui's face revealed a mixture of anger and jealousy, and he coldly spoke up in the crowd:

"What else can we do? Lin Jue is so strong, he can move this mountain and get us out of here."

Originally, Gao Zhigui just couldn't help but want to make a sarcastic remark to the other party.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Jue's eyes lit up again, and his gaze swept sharply toward the small hill next to him.
