[System Notice: "You gained +999 [Absurd Madness Points] for 'Entering School Riding a Pig'!"]
"Wow, hee hee hee, hahaha!!"
Luo Wuji, riding a pink-and-white pig, laughed wildly as soon as he entered Jiucheng No.1 High School after his rebirth.
"This guy is totally insane…"
"You don't get it. That's called performance art…"
Passing girls, all riding rabbits, whipped out their phones to record this extraordinary spectacle. They even joined in, laughing uncontrollably.
In Class 4, Level 678, the students chattered like sparrows on a summer power line…
"I heard our class is about to get a new student who rides a pig…"
"Could it be… the legendary Pig Knight?!"
School bully Lai Kun rode his own mount—a massive mammoth—which promptly flung a little buddy, Peng, in the face.
"Are you stupid? You've watched too many cartoons; your brain must be full of glue!"
"Perfect! I'm here to show off my mammoth…"
Before class even started, everyone rushed to see this oddball.
Luo Wuji ignored the security guards and tugged the pig's tail. The pig leapt onto the top branch of a star-fruit tree, plucked a fruit, and stuffed it into its mouth.
After eating, it smiled, then rolled its eyes back… and tumbled down.
"Uh… hang in there, buddy…"
THUD—
Luo Wuji hit the cement floor hard, his nose scraping the ground. The 200-kg pig landed like a falling meteor, four feet in the air, smashing onto Luo Wuji's head.
Stars spun in his head, his mind filled with fire sparks…
Eventually, he woke up, his skull marked with tiny hoofprints. A few pig hairs were even stuck in his nostrils.
He opened his eyes to see a crowd of students on all sorts of mounts, phones raised, broadcasting live.
"Fam, come check it out! A real-life knight just appeared at our school…"
"This is gonna be fun…"
"Boss!"
Lai Kun, riding his massive mount, pushed through the crowd. He looked like a frog sprawled across the mammoth.
"So it's you."
"Last life, you stomped me flat with that mammoth. Now I'm reborn… and I'm taking revenge."
"Wow ⊙∀⊙!"
He jumped off the mammoth, leaving a dent in the floor.
"So it's you… the guy who fought my mammoth with bare hands and got squashed into a meat patty?"
Lai Kun's minions, holding their girlfriends, grinned with yellowed teeth:
"Luo Wuji, you brought a pig from your rural hometown… want us to roast you both into braised pork?!"
Gritting his teeth, Luo Wuji got up, took off his old Beijing cloth shoe, and smacked it at Lai Kun's face.

"You dared hit me!!!"
"I hit you! Deal with it!"
Luo Wuji jumped, aiming another shoe at Lai Kun's head.
"Come on! Try to take on my mount!"
"Today, it's the mounts that decide life and death!!!"
"Fine! Today I'll take down your mammoth…"
He shoved the cloth shoe into the pig's nostrils. The poisoned pig leapt onto the mammoth's head.
"Get down…"
Lai Kun's minions tried to pull the pig off.
Squeak squeak squeak…
The pig's hooves stomped wildly on their faces before finally stepping off.
"Little pig… time to battle on the playground."
"Brother, tonight I'll get you your favorite fish-flavored pork feed!!!"
This pig was Luo Wuji's only family property. His father almost sold it to pay his tuition, but now, as mounts determined everything, he kept it as his ride.
He even earned extra money wiping other people's mounts' hooves.
Riding his pig to school, classmates looked at him strangely. Many girls stayed away, fearing pig-borne diseases.
But school belle Zeng Guli didn't give him the cold shoulder. Riding a pristine alpaca, she had sparkling eyes and wore a flowered dress inlaid with jewels, radiating elegance. She often helped Luo Wuji and was close to him.
Lai Kun, who had long loved Zeng Guli, got rejected outright when he confessed, and even his roses wilted on the spot.
Refusing to give up, he challenged Luo Wuji at the playground, riding his mammoth.
Luo Wuji had no fancy mount left, relying on his body to take hits, and had been squashed into a meat patty by the mammoth before.
Reborn, with a system now, he was ready to settle the score with the school bully.
They all arrived at the playground, now transformed into a monster arena, each taking position.
The mammoth, seeing its opponent was a pig, swayed its long trunk like seaweed and laughed.
"This time, Luo Wuji is really dead…"
"Totally."
"Lai Kun's a gold-medal beast tamer."
"I bet that pig won't last a single round."
"And I heard school belle Zeng Guli secretly loves him… not choosing rich Lai Kun. Weird…"
"…She's coming… shut up already…"
