David Clark's body trembled; he had no time to pay attention to Brian Brooks and rushed straight toward Megan Foster. Behind him, several other students, eyes bloodshot, hurried forward to try to help.

All of this happened too quickly. Just as everyone was about to rush forward to help, suddenly, from the distant jungle floor came a soul-shaking infant's wail. A red line as thick as an arm—clearly visible even in the dark—shot toward them at an astonishing speed.

From time to time, a body would leap out, revealing a pale head. It no longer looked like a snake's head, but rather the face of an infant, except its eyes showed a wildness that made everyone's heart skip a beat.

“Red-boned White Infant Snake!!” someone among the students recognized it, their mind thrown into chaos as they cried out in alarm and retreated en masse.

David Clark's scalp felt like it was about to explode, his hair standing on end, his heart trembling wildly. The Red-boned White Infant Snake was simply too infamous, listed among the thousand deadliest creatures of the Federation's Spirit Origin Era. Though its body was fragile and its speed not the fastest, its venom was so potent that even the slightest touch would instantly turn a person into a pool of blood, leaving behind only a red skeleton—hence its name.

Even though he secretly admired Megan Foster, he instinctively felt it wasn't worth dying for and subconsciously retreated, keeping his distance, afraid that the Red-boned White Infant Snake, in its killing frenzy, would devour them as well.

As for Brian Brooks, upon seeing this scene, he first took a deep breath, but then immediately realized that all of this was actually fake. Instantly, he relaxed, his eyes lighting up as he thought to himself that this was his chance to shine in front of the teacher.

“Since it's all fake, what am I afraid of?” With this thought, Brian Brooks immediately puffed out his chest and looked at the classmates who had run back, his eyes full of deep disdain.

“Although Megan Foster, that flat-chested girl, is sharp-tongued, ugly, and always uses her authority to make things difficult for me, I, Brian Brooks, am a noble person, an upright person, a person unafraid of sacrifice, a person above the mundane, a person who benefits his classmates!”

“In such a dangerous environment, how could I, Brian Brooks, retreat? Others are afraid to die and dare not go, but... for my classmates, I dare!”

This shameless fatty was almost moved by his own words. Had he really forgotten that this was a fake world? Yet he acted as if he had, completely immersed in the moment, as if only here could his heroism be worthy of reality.

“Flatty, today I'll show you what it means to be a man!”

At the very moment when everyone else was retreating in fear, Brian Brooks not only didn't back away, but instead let out a loud roar. He pressed his lips together, lifted his chin, and in that instant, his round little face seemed to take on a chiseled sharpness, full of masculine energy. With the stride of a dragon and the force of a tiger, he charged into the snake swarm like a hot knife through butter.

With an imposing aura and a heroic figure, he seemed to embody justice itself, heading straight for Megan Foster and the other girl!

This scene stunned Megan Foster for a moment. Even though she was surrounded by snakes, she still felt a strong sense of discomfort, but the cute girl beside her couldn't help but get excited.

As for the others, they were all awed by Brian Brooks's roar and presence. They watched as, at the very instant the Red-boned White Infant Snake neared Megan Foster and the other girl, Brian Brooks suddenly appeared as if a god had descended, grabbed the fearsome snake, and hurled it far away.

At that moment, he radiated an aura of dominance and heroism, as if possessed by a sage, his righteous energy spreading in all directions. Without pausing for a second, he scooped up the excited cute girl in one arm and tucked the stunned Megan Foster under his other arm, then dashed back toward the crowd.

But there were too many snakes around. On his way back and forth, his butt still got bitten several times. By the time he made it back, his face had already turned black, but he gritted his teeth and held on until he safely delivered Megan Foster and the other girl. Only then did his legs give out, and he collapsed.

“Maybe I was a bit too impulsive... My butt hurts so much. Being a real man is so hard.” Brian Brooks complained inwardly. Seeing Megan Foster still staring at him in a daze, and the cute girl looking at him with gratitude and something else in her eyes, and all the people around looking at him as if they'd seen a ghost, he felt his eyelids grow heavy, but couldn't help feeling a bit proud inside.

But now the pain in his butt was turning numb, so Brian Brooks quickly grabbed Megan Foster's small hand.

“Megan Foster, I saved your life. I can't even feel my butt anymore. I heard that if snake venom is sucked out, you can be saved. Please help me...” Before he could finish, Brian Brooks couldn't resist the dizziness any longer. His head lolled to the side, about to land on Megan Foster's chest, but suddenly realizing something, he forced himself to change direction and landed on the cute girl's soft chest instead.

Seeing this, everyone around had strange expressions. Megan Foster, seeing that even when Brian Brooks fainted, he still looked so annoying, immediately turned black in the face.

At this moment, within the Federation, far from the Chiyun Rainforest and getting closer and closer to the Ethereal Dao College in the sky, inside a red airship, in the spirit cultivation room, hundreds of students slept quietly. Brian Brooks was among them, seemingly having a sweet dream, his head tilted, a satisfied smile on his lips.
