CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: EXAMINATION SITE, THE PRINCIPAL ARRIVES IN PERSON!

Angel Race’s residence.

Several elders suppressing the Blazing Angels noticed something was amiss.

Why hasn’t the Young Clan Leader returned yet?

"Could something have happened?"

An elder of the Angel Race tilted his head, asking his companion.

"Impossible! Didn’t the Young Clan Leader have someone accompanying him?"

Suddenly, the Holy Flame in the grand hall stilled abruptly.

A majestic figure appeared out of nowhere, eight pairs of brilliant golden wings spreading out behind him...

It was none other than the War Angel Clan Leader, Mi Zhan!

"Miller is dead."

Mi Zhan’s voice was like eternal ice, "Investigate thoroughly who did this."

The elders looked at each other in dismay.

They naturally knew the Clan Leader didn’t genuinely care about this son’s life or death...

Mi Zhan had many heirs, he could appoint another Young Clan Leader at any time.

What truly enraged the clan leader was...

The Breaking Realm Blade!

The Angel race’s supreme treasure had been stolen by Miller and subsequently lost!

"We will investigate immediately!"

Four elders kneeled on one knee, their eyes filled with disbelief.

With Miller’s strength, how could he fall in such a mere Secret Realm?

Once the elders departed, Mi Zhan turned and walked towards the underground prison.

At the end of the dark passage, the last batch of Blazing Angels was detained.

"Mi Zhan! You traitor!"

An elderly Blazing Angel cursed upon seeing him, "The Clan Leader treated your War Angel Race with great kindness, yet you dare to betray him!"

Mi Zhan turned a deaf ear, his cold gaze locked on Liu Xia at the center of the crowd.

Though the Blazing Angel Princess was covered in scars, she still stood with a straight back.

"Liu Xia, last chance."

Mi Zhan’s voice was like a venomous snake hissing, "Tell me Liu Li’s whereabouts, or else..."

Liu Xia suddenly laughed, with a smile full of mockery:

"You don’t dare kill us! My brother is just missing, not dead!"

"That’s why you’re desperately searching for Liu Li like a mad dog, fearing he might show up suddenly one day!"

Mi Zhan’s pupils contracted abruptly.

Indeed, it was precisely this fear that kept him from killing these Blazing Angels.

Just however.

Seeing the mockery in Liu Xia’s eyes, his gaze darkened.

"You’re right; I truly don’t dare kill you all..."

He slowly raised his hand.

Soon after, several War Angels carried tools gleaming with cold light and approached.

"But I can make you wish for death."

As Mi Zhan’s figure vanished at the end of the passage, heart-wrenching screams echoed through the dungeon.

...

The third test site.

A sea of people.

Various media simultaneously rushed here, just to report this annual college entrance examination event.

"Every year, these colleges come up with new tricks! I wonder what this year’s examination topic is?"

"No matter what it is, we just need to find out who this year’s champion is! They are the strongest among this cohort!"

"That’s impossible! The real geniuses have long been specially recruited by major colleges, as for those left behind..."

"That’s not necessarily true; five years ago, the National Academy’s principal personally came for special recruitment!"

"You did mention that was five years ago, back when the exams were still imperfect, leading to that genius’s oversight; but now..."

"Such special recruitment is absolutely impossible!"

Amidst the crowd’s discussions.

Candidates who passed the first two rounds of tests entered one by one.

Shen Ruoxue was naturally among them.

At this moment.

She frantically scanned the venue, trying to find that familiar figure.

However.

She found nothing.

"Captain, stop looking, God Gu isn’t here. I think he hasn’t arrived yet! If we spot God Gu, we’ll surely notify you immediately."

"Yeah, Captain, with us around, as soon as God Gu enters here, we’ll spot him right away!"

Upon hearing her team members’ teasing, Shen Ruoxue’s face flushed red.

Being teased closely by her teammates, she felt quite embarrassed.

The Succubus beside her, hearing the conversation, quietly lowered her head.

Now she had fully grasped the situation, no longer daring to have any illusions about Gu Xing becoming her master!

Perhaps, from the day she betrayed Gu Xing, she was destined for this kind of outcome!

However, at least Gu Xing spared her life!

Nonetheless, at this moment.

The sky suddenly darkened.

A large group of Flying Guardian Beasts abruptly appeared over the examination venue.

In the crowd’s astonished gaze, principals from various colleges descended.

Among them, the most eye-catching was naturally the silver-haired elder among this group.

This was the principal of the National Academy, Long Zhenguo.

Also the backbone of the entire Longxia Country.

A Monarch Level Beast Master!

"My goodness! Why is the National Academy’s principal here at the exam site?"

"Not just the National Academy, the Black Dragon Academy, Yellow Dragon Academy... Almost all famous academy principals in Longxia have arrived!"

"Why are they here? Are they possibly going to supervise the exams?"

"Silly! There must be a true genius appearing; their sole purpose here is surely special recruitment!"

"Special recruitment?! Really? Who could be worth such a grand occasion?"

Amid the crowd’s discussions, these principals seemed to spark off each other too.

They had all received the news!

A genius deemed extraordinarily promising by Wei Yuan, no matter the cost, they had to recruit for their own schools.

Only, the biggest competitor currently...

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on that figure up front.

National Academy!

They hadn’t expected, this time the National Academy’s principal himself had come.

"Old Long, why are you here this time?"

Black Dragon Academy’s principal Li Bo hesitated multiple times but still stepped forward.

As one of the two Monarch Level Beast Masters present, he believed he had the qualification to converse with Long Zhenguo.

"What do you think?"

Long Zhenguo gave him a sidelong glance, not giving Li Bo any face.

Everyone knew why they were here; who still doesn’t get it?

Why pretend to be aloof here!

Li Bo’s facial muscles twitched slightly but dared not act out.

Against Long Zhenguo, he had no means.

But although he respected Long Zhenguo, he had to fight for Gu Xing, this student.

He took a deep breath and bowed:

"Forgive me, Old Long, but our Black Dragon Academy has to fight for this genius student too!"

This statement was like pouring water into a hot oil pot, other principals almost immediately protested:

"Our Celestial Phoenix Academy also..."

"We at Purple Cloud Academy..."

The scene suddenly plunged into chaos.

In the corner, a principal wearing gold-rimmed glasses weakly reminded:

"Everyone... Should we find the right person first? Argue till red-faced, what if..."

Before finishing his sentence, the entire venue suddenly went silent.

When the crowd calmed down, they had to admit, his advice made sense.

Long Zhenguo frowned, his overwhelming Spiritual Power instantly covering the entire exam site.

Other principals followed suit, weaving dozens of strands of Spiritual Power into a net, scanning all the students present.

"Strange..."

Li Bo’s frown grew tighter, "Why isn’t the kid Wei Yuan mentioned detected?"

The venue’s atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

A dozen principals who usually dominated the scene now looked at each other in confusion.

???

The genius was missing?!

"Could it be..."

One principal suddenly thought of something, his expression turning peculiar.

"The kid hasn’t shown up at all?"

...
