Sunshine?
Chu Feng and the others were startled and looked up.
Unbeknownst to them, the dense fog that had enveloped the campus had begun to fade, revealing the outlines of distant buildings.
Everyone's heart swelled with joy, and their faces revealed smiles that had been absent for a long time.
The bright sunshine emerged, and the hidden evil spirits were about to die from exposure!
Meanwhile, the two spirit-level Bloodskin Chang Mo who were left to guard the hostages exchanged glances and suddenly extended their long claws, turning their heads to kill the hostages!
The roars of Wang Erbao and the others awakened Chu Feng and Xu Ziliang: "Stop, you bastards!"
"Damn it, these beasts want to take a few with them in death, Mad Dog Chu! Save them!"
They were tightly blocked by three spirit-level Changmo; although they had the upper hand, it was difficult to break through the blockade quickly.
Xu Ziliang's face showed signs of anxiety, but he was too severely injured. He had barely taken a step when pinkish blood foam began to spurt from his nose and mouth.
Chu Feng was furious. These damn beasts were actually about to kill!
Glancing at his panel, there were still 10 seconds left in the attribute burst, so he bellowed, "Leave it to me!"
He exploded from his stance, shooting toward the two Changmo tens of meters away like a cannonball!
The two Changmo heard him and their faces showed a fierce determination, intending to brutally finish their task!
Their long nails were about to slice the screaming students into pieces.
At that moment, Chu Feng had an epiphany and roared, "Changmo clan, what the hell are you guys doing!
"Why are you acting in the name of the Demon Clan!"
All five Changmo in the area paused, simultaneously turning their heads to look at Chu Feng with a look of horror on their ugly faces.
This was their clan's biggest secret, related to a plan that had been in the works for decades!
The wise elders had said that this secret was deeply buried in history.
Ever since the Changmo appeared in this world, they had always acted under the guise of the Demon Clan.
How did this human know!
But they no longer had time to ponder, for in their brief moment of distraction, Chu Feng had reached the hostages.
With his enormous fists, he blew apart the two guarding demons!
With his current physical strength, he smashed them into a myriad of dried-up chunks of meat.
He then immediately sprung forward, charging at the three fleeing Changmo, delivering a punch to each, sending them back to their ancestors.
All had to die!

...
"Haha, we won, we won!"
"Mad Dog Chu, I have to say, you're the man!"
"Big brother Chu Feng, you really pulled through!"
"We've finally been rescued... Thank you, thank you! Sob sob sob..."
Everyone relaxed immediately; the hostages collapsed on the spot, crying bitterly.
Wang Erbao and others cheered and rushed towards Chu Feng.
But the next second, Chu Feng gave a wry smile as his massive body rapidly deflated like a leaking balloon.
Then, his body became limp like a noodle soaked in water, collapsing to the ground.
Hundreds of blood wounds suddenly ribboned his skin, and within a moment, his whole body was soaked with blood, like a punctured hot water bag.
Wang Erbao and others, including Xu Ziliang, were utterly dismayed: "Chu Feng! What's happened to you!"
"Mad Dog, don't you die!"
"Big brother Chu!"
As Chu Feng was held in everyone's arms, he heard Wang Erbao's loud shout and cursed in a moan:
"Screw you, even if you die, I won't, I'm still waiting to marry your sister!"
Ignoring everyone's concerned voices, he looked toward the attribute panel, wanting to cry: 'Miscalculated...
"This side effect of the attribute burst is too severe!"

Upon inspection, at least for the next seven days, Chu Feng was no different from a normal person. He had to rest properly for seven days before he could start practicing martial arts again.
But the Martial Arts Grand Exam was just more than half a month away, these seven days of resting without practicing martial arts would widen the gap between him and his peers.
'Though I saved everyone, I feel like I lost out!
'No, I must immediately seek treatment from the school and get the medical expenses reimbursed! I absolutely cannot delay my participation in the grand exam!
'My life of gaming the system must have a good start!'
As he was pondering, he heard Wang Erbao incessantly wailing. Chu Feng, feeling irritated, couldn't help but scold:
"Are you mourning for your brother-in-law! I'm fine!
"It's just the cost of a secret technique exploding, I need a week's rest, then I can beat you just like before!"
Xu Ziliang staggered over, hearing Chu Feng's voice, albeit weak but still vigorous, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he is okay, it's all good; he's still alive!
Listening to Chu Feng's tone, the cost of this secret technique shouldn't be too big.
I'll go ask Director Wang Weiguo for some elixirs to treat internal injuries later.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's explanation, Wang Erbao too breathed a sigh of relief: "To hell with you, don't even think about scheming against my sister.
"When you die, I might just grudgingly agree to let her pay respects to you with incense!
"Also, you are now at my mercy. Keep blabbering and I'll beat you good!"
The two bickered aimlessly for a while, Chu Feng, propped up by Wang Erbao's hand, lifted his head and waved to the saved hostages:
"Everyone, go find a classroom to hide in. I reckon this mess is about to end soon.
"There's another one in that teaching building next door, please lend a hand and take him away.
"If he's not dead yet, remember to kick him a couple more times for me!"
Just mentioning that selfish guy made him seethe with resentment.
If it hadn't been for him, he wouldn't have had to take such a huge risk, spend so many attribute points, and suffer such severe repercussions.
Grateful for their lives, the hostages left, dragging out a half-dead man from the teaching building and punching him repeatedly, making him wail incessantly.
They despised the guy to death.
This mess nearly got them all sent straight into the bellies of the demons, were it not for Chu Feng's heroic intervention.
They couldn't sentence this man to death, but they could certainly make his life difficult, as the saying goes, 'where there's no accuser, there's no judge!'
The crowd helped Chu Feng and the frail Xu Ziliang up and slowly walked towards the administration building, as suggested by the latter.
Most of the experts in the school were nearby, including Principal Luo Yong and the department head Wang Weiguo.
This would not only ensure everyone's safety but also allow them to request some medicine for Chu Feng's injuries.
But as the group just turned a corner, they were stopped by someone.
A voice that sounded very enthusiastic rang out: "This student looks severely injured, do you need my help?"
