Red Jade was a bit superstitious and didn't like her constantly ntioning 'death,' mainly because it was scared by her severe injuries last ti.
It is now particularly taboo in this regard.
Mingxi quickly begged for rcy, promising not to speak carelessly again before Red Jade let her off.
“Ding-ding-dong.”
Just after brushing her teeth and taking a bite of the freshly delivered takeout, her personal terminal rang like a death knell.
Under Red Jade's disapproving gaze, Mingxi swallowed her steak in a few quick bites.
“Principal?”
Why was this big shot looking for her at this hour?
Mingxi answered the call, bewildered.
Before her appeared ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the solemn, cold, yet Buddha-like figure of a man, his fiery red kasaya flapping wildly in the gloomy, strong wind.
Hmm?
In the gloomy, strong wind?
Before Mingxi could speak.
Shen Najia, projected in 3D, had already spoken first.
“Mingxi, co to Thousand Stele Forest at once.”
“Ah?”
“Hurry! Imdiately! Let your pet beast directly teleport!”
Mingxi stared at the disconnected call, stunned for a second.
What was going on?
She was told to rush to Thousand Stele Forest now?
Had sothing happened at Thousand Stele Forest?
Mingxi ca back to her senses; no matter what, Shen Najia had spoken, so she had to go.
She summoned Golden Yuanbao and the others, who were scattered around the house, then had Little Silver Flower use Space Flash to pinpoint the entrance of Thousand Stele Forest.
Flash!
As soon as the sensation of landing ca, Mingxi noticed that there were quite a few people present.
To sum it up in one sentence: everyone who should be here was here, and so were those who shouldn't!
The Principal and Vice-Principal Yin Jiuheng were there, along with several deans of branch academies she had seen at the freshman orientation, and also the unfamiliar Vice-Principals and key leaders from the School Managent Committee and School Supervisory Committee.
Vice-Principal Mia was not present; she should still be resting.
And Mingxi's landing spot was directly in front of these school leaders.
Besides them, the areas outside the nearby observation towers were already packed with people, indicating that sothing significant had indeed happened at Thousand Stele Forest, leading everyone to stay up late to watch the excitent.
Look at this sea of people; it was almost as many as the audience who watched her Sky Ladder Challenge.
She just hadn't expected the one calling her to watch the show to be the esteed Principal of the entire school.
Was this a distortion of human nature, or a degradation of morality?
Mingxi: “...”
“Click-clack... click-clack...”
A strange cracking sound pulled Mingxi's thoughts back from her peculiar musings about the great leader's moral degradation.
Not far away was Thousand Stele Forest, and the Thousand Stele Forest, which had originally resembled a graveyard of death, no longer had its forr desolate appearance.
The black steles seed to have been stimulated by sothing; not only were they shaking wildly as if suffering from Parkinson's, but so were also cracking.
The 'click-clack' sounds were coming from the cracking steles.
“What's going on? Is Thousand Stele Forest... rebelling?”
Mingxi was utterly bewildered.
Shen Najia looked at her, pointed to the entrance of Thousand Stele Forest, “You go and try if you can enter.”
“Ah?”
Principal, you should at least tell what's going on, right?
Probably realizing that Mingxi wasn't soone who would simply obey, Yin Jiuheng stepped forward two paces to stand behind the old and young figures, explaining on their behalf: “It's like this, not long after your Sky Ladder Challenge ended yesterday, an anomaly appeared in Thousand Stele Forest.”
Mingxi thought, 'You can explain, but why do you have to relate it like that?'
As if the anomaly in Thousand Stele Forest had sothing to do with her.
She wasn't taking that bla; she hadn't been near here for many days.
Despite her internal grumbling, Mingxi didn't actually voice her rebuttal.
She turned back and asked, “What kind of anomaly?”
“Two students, Zhang Ben and A Ruguo, successively submitted leaf radiance to enter Thousand Stele Forest, but before Zhang Ben could enter, a barrier mysteriously appeared outside Thousand Stele Forest.”
At that ti, Zhang Ben Sanlang was quite dejected after being defeated by Mingxi. Unwilling to give up, he thought of Thousand Stele Forest and dragged A Ruguo along, who was also unwilling to accept the loss of the Star Radiance Lord.
They thought that since Mingxi could make the thousand steles glow, they would try again, just in case they could also make the thousand steles glow.
“That barrier not only bounced Zhang Ben back, sending him flying eighteen ters directly into that observation tower.”
Yin Jiuheng pointed to a certain observation tower not far away, where a clear human-shaped indentation was visible, making people chuckle.
“Whoa! That powerful?”
Mingxi exclaid. She had heard that these eight observation towers were made of special refined iron and ore, making them difficult to damage with ordinary extraordinary skills.
Now there was a human-shaped imprint on it!
How much rebound force must that have been?
Zhang Ben Sanlang was at least a C-rank Beastmaster.
“Ahem, it was a bit much.”
Zhang Ben Sanlang had fainted on the spot, with all 206 bones and 639 muscles basically suffering devastating damage.
Even if he could heal, the psychological trauma...
It would be tough!
Yin Jiuheng sighed with emotion.
He continued: “A Ruguo, who was present at the ti, didn't believe it and also went up to try. He was also bounced back by an invisible barrier, but he had prepared in advance, so he wasn't injured.”
At this point, Shen Najia spoke: “Including myself, no one can currently enter Thousand Stele Forest, and about an hour ago, the steles began to show signs of displacent and cracking.”
Mingxi looked up at the big shot beside her with a speechless expression.
“Principal, aren't you setting up? Knowing this barrier has astonishing rebound force, you just let go without any warning?”
This was clearly an attempt to make her the second Zhang Ben.
Shen Najia, “You won't die.”
Her physical fitness was already S-rank; even without her pet beasts, she could handle this level of rebound.
Moreover, they would be repelled by the barrier, but her?
It might not be the case.
Mingxi really wanted to give this big shot a dismissive 'hetui,' but she held back.
Respect for teachers.
It was all because of respect for teachers!
“Go!”
Are you herding dogs?!
Mingxi was utterly speechless.
However, she hesitated and deliberated, but ultimately couldn't resist her curiosity. She had Golden Yuanbao and the others guard her from behind.
Curiosity was one thing, but she absolutely couldn't beco the second Zhang Ben.
Standing at the entrance, Mingxi suddenly turned back, her small face very serious, and asked, “Principal, if I go in, I won't have to pay extra fees afterward, right?”
Shen Najia, who thought she was about to say sothing important: “...”
You already have 50 Black Leaf Radiance, and you still care about one or two broken leaf radiance?!
“No! Need!”
A group of big shots behind them silently wiped their sweat. This was the first ti they had heard their Principal speak in such a gritting-teeth, yet extrely restrained manner.
“That's good.”
Mingxi giggled.
Others: “Not giggling at all.”
Mingxi had already turned back and tentatively stepped forward with her right foot, in small, quick steps, encountering no obstacles.
And the school leaders who witnessed this scene gasped repeatedly.
Although Mingxi only took a small step, everyone present, without exception, had been blocked just beyond that small step.
“She actually went in?! Could it be that the anomaly in Thousand Stele Forest really is because of her?!”
