WANG YI!

Jiangnan Base City, Jiujiang City, Guqing District No. 1 High School

In a dimly lit classroom with drawn curtains, a somber atmosphere hangs in the air. The multimedia equipment hums to life, projecting a scene of a brutal war between monsters and humans. The young faces in the room, filled with naivety and curiosity, mirror the emotions portrayed on the screen.

Amidst the unfolding spectacle, a deep, resonant male voice reverberates through the classroom, harmonizing with the images on the screen.

"At the dawn of the 21st century, the world was plagued by numerous viral influenzas..."

At the back of the classroom, near the second-to-last table by the window, a boy lies sound asleep, seemingly undisturbed by the voiceover. Soft, rhythmic snores emanate from him, creating a soothing backdrop to the intense video playing before him.

Ignoring the slumbering boy, his tablemate, a girl with waist-length hair and neat bangs peeking out from her thick black-rimmed glasses, watches him with concern etched on her face.

Meanwhile, the deep voice in the classroom crescendos with excitement.

"...In September 2015, as hordes of monstrous creatures emerged from the depths of the ocean, a war between humans and 'monsters' ensued!"

"Throughout the conflict, extraordinary warriors rose among humanity, their stories captivating the world!"

"The large-scale war between monsters and humans lasted from September 2015 to March 2021."

"These eight years, from 2013 to 2021, marked a period of profound transformation in human history!"

As the final lines of the film's narration fade into silence, the school bell chimes, filling the room with its familiar sound.

The curtains are abruptly drawn open, and warm sunlight floods the classroom. Startled, the boy who was once slumbering jolts to attention. He stands upright, swiftly and silently organizing his books and belongings.

As he tidies his desk, he notices a suspicious liquid on the surface. In an attempt to clean it up, he reaches into his pocket only to find it empty. A small, white hand appears before him, holding a pack of tissues. It belongs to his reserved tablemate.

Grinning unashamedly, the boy reveals his pearly white teeth. "Thanks."

The girl hums a soft reply, her trembling hand retreating discreetly beneath the table.

Quickly, he accepts the tissues and wipes away the liquid. Returning the unused ones to his table, he claps his hands together and heads for the classroom's rear exit. Before leaving, he courteously bids farewell to the girl who has been his companion for nearly two years. "Lin Youyu, goodbye."

Lin Youyu, with her long hair cascading down her waist, opens her mouth, as if about to speak, but the boy has already vanished through the door.

Her delicate lips move soundlessly, and she lowers her head, feeling a tinge of disappointment.

After a while, Lin Youyu's gaze inadvertently drifts to the boy's vacant seat, where a wet residue remains. Uncertain thoughts flood her mind, and her youthful face flushes with color.

Elsewhere, Wang Yi, having finished the last film session, allows his students to relax and take a well-deserved break. After recovering from the fatigue of their intense training the previous night, the energetic teacher walks out of the third-grade building towards the school gate.

Dressed in a simple gray tracksuit, he blends in effortlessly among the bustling students.

Occasionally, a passing girl catches sight of his face, her eyes lighting up with recognition.

Some students who are acquainted with Wang Yi instinctively show

respect and admiration as they pass by him.

Wang Yi is no stranger to this kind of attention.

After all, he is one of the only five senior martial arts students in the entire high school.

Wang Yi is a transmigrator, transported to this world from the familiar realm of 'Eat the Starry Sky.' He had landed in an ordinary family residing in a cramped apartment within the base city. Life wasn't easy, with only his parents for company after his older sister got married and moved out. The memories of this modest dwelling had been with Wang Yi for eighteen years.

From a young age, Wang Yi seemed more mature and intelligent than his peers. He displayed exceptional wisdom, obedience, and outstanding academic prowess. In addition to his studies, he dedicated himself to physical training, astonishing his family with his endurance and the hours he spent silently honing his skills.

With unwavering dedication, Wang Yi joined the Xtreme Martial Arts Gym at the age of sixteen. In less than a year, he earned the title of 'Senior Student' and became the sole representative of his humble family among the four thousand students at Guqing District No. 1 High School. Though ordinary in many respects, he was recognized as an exceptional 'Senior Martial Arts Student.'

As a result, Wang Yi garnered a great deal of respect and admiration from his peers. Yet, nobody truly understood the struggles he faced within.

"Eighteen years have passed, and yet, what do I have to show for it? No extraordinary talents, no cheats. What will I do next?"

Lost in his thoughts, Wang Yi walks out of the school gate and navigates the bustling streets. Despite his unremarkable attire, his upright posture and striking appearance make him stand out from the crowd.

Some passing women steal glances at him, their curiosity piqued.

Unfazed, Wang Yi presses on, consumed by his own inner turmoil.

It is now April 2056, a month into the second semester of high school—the perfect time to embark on the official plot!

In the original story, the protagonist, "Luo Feng," awakens his innate spiritual power, propelling him onto a path of defying both human adversaries and god-like beings.

Meanwhile, Wang Yi is merely an ordinary college student. Despite being hailed as a 'senior martial arts student' and a genius in the eyes of many, Wang Yi knows all too well the limitations of such a title.

It took him over a decade of arduous effort to reach his current level—a far cry from the prodigious talent that is Luo Feng.

In the vast world of the Starry Sky, one's history is forged through relentless struggle.

To call oneself a genius without achieving greatness would be an embarrassment.

Though Wang Yi has spent years trying to forge a connection with Luo Feng in Yangzhou City, their relationship remains that of ordinary friends. In comparison, his bond with his childhood friend, Wei Wen, who had been by his side since they wore open-crotch pants, is unshakable.

As Wang Yi contemplates whether he can seize the opportunity to align himself with future City Lord Luo and attain immortality, a sense of guilt washes over him.

Lost in thought, Wang Yi maintains a steady pace. After ten minutes, he arrives at a renowned upscale neighborhood, surrounded by scenic beauty and villas adorned with lush greenery. He inhales deeply, his eyes brimming with aspirations.

One day, he vows to provide his family with a spacious and comfortable home, free from the constraints of their current cramped dwelling.

But before that...

"Miss Gao? Xiao Wang has arrived."
