After observing the girl for a while, Hoshiguji Kurono comforted her, saying, "This must be because you have awakened your true abilities."

Of course, this was just her reasoning, intended only to soothe the girl's emotions.

As expected, Stella breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Hoshiguji Kurono's words.

But in reality, Hoshiguji Kurono knows Stella's true situation, and she can only find out when Hakutetsu arrives.

After all, he is the one who possesses the power of the dragon.

However, because the girl's body temperature was too high, Hoshiguji Kurono did not let Stella go to class, but kept her in her office instead.

Firstly, it's for further observation, and secondly, it's just in case.

As time passed, even with the air conditioning on, the office temperature remained extremely high, forcing her to unbutton her clothes, revealing a bulging white shirt beneath her black suit. 06

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Bai Zhe brought Xijing Ningyin to the chairman's office.

Upon entering, a wave of heat, even hotter than the summer sun, immediately hits you.

This didn't affect Bai Zhe much, but it made Xijing Ningyin, who was wearing a kimono, feel hot all of a sudden.

Because there were no other men present besides Bai Zhe, Xijing Ningyin simply tugged at the collar of her kimono, revealing her fair collarbone.

Even so, the heat still made her a little irritable. Just as she was about to use her ability to repel the heat wave, she saw the heat wave in the entire office gather in Bai Zhe's hand and turn into a ball of flame, which he then extinguished.

Upon seeing this, Stella immediately stood up, though the girl's face was flushed, whether from the heat or from recalling last night's dream.

Subsequently, Hoshiguji Kurono told Hakutetsu about Stella's physical condition, and after some observation...

Bai Zhe deduced that things were just as Hoshiguji Kurono had predicted: Stella had suddenly awakened the power of the dragon and was unable to fully control it, which caused this terrifying power to leak out and turn her into a high-temperature furnace!

Stella, who received the same answer from Bai Zhe as Hoshiguji Kurono, panicked and asked the man, "What should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe gestured to the girl not to panic, and then said to her, "Next, close your eyes and mentally perform the corresponding actions according to my instructions."

"Now...imagine yourself as a giant dragon, your lungs will exhale flames, your scales will melt the flames, and your claws will grasp the flames."

"Flame is merely a servant at your disposal; you can use it to burn everything, and you can also naturally control it."

Bai Zhe's words reached the girl's ears, making her imagine herself as a giant dragon, with all fires bowing down wherever she went.

Above her head, an even larger, more mysterious dragon, whose full form was never seen, soared through the sky...

When Stella opened her eyes again, even without Bai Zhe's control, the room temperature gradually returned to normal.

After receiving affirmation from Hoshiguji Kurono and Nishikyo Nene with her gaze, the girl was overjoyed and jumped up from the sofa, hugging Shiratsu and saying with unbridled delight:

"I did it! I did it!!"

The girl's twin ponytails swayed in mid-air as she gently rubbed them, making one's hands itch to touch them.

But the next second, Nishikyo Ningyin interrupted Stella's joy with her voice.

"I know you're happy right now, but even so... you don't have to hug someone else's man, do you?"

As Nishikyo Ningyin finished speaking, Stella realized that her behavior was quite contrary to Princess Familion's teachings.

Immediately, the girl blushed and quickly broke free from Bai Zhe's embrace.

"I'm sorry, I was rude just now."

While apologizing to Bai Zhe, the girl also muttered to herself that she had only met him a few times, but this man always managed to deeply attract her attention!

Seeing the girl's shy expression, Bai Zhe's face lit up with a smile.

"It's okay, my arms are always open for you."

These words made the already shy girl even more embarrassed.

But looking at Bai Zhe's calm and composed smile, the girl felt that Bai Zhe was treating her like a little girl.

Doesn't she stop treating me like a child?

I'm not a child!

Seeing this, Nishikyo Ningyin looked on with amusement.

"Hum~"

Seeing her best friend's behavior, Hoshiguji Kurono was at a loss for words.

Seriously, she's trying to seduce your man right in front of you! Aren't you going to confront her?!

The thought of Nishikyo Ningyin, who was always making fun of others, suddenly made Hoshimiya Kurono feel incredibly happy.

Unfortunately, this was just a fantasy in her mind, and then the sound of an email on her computer brought her back to reality.

After carefully reading the email sent by the alliance, Hoshiguji Kurono said to Shiratsu, who was already sitting on the sofa:

"Regarding the proposal to hold the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival ahead of schedule, I informed the Alliance last night, and their response was that they would send special personnel over this afternoon to discuss the matter with you in detail."

To put it bluntly, they sent a master above Ning Yin of Xijing to test the strength of Bai Zhe, who was suspected to be comparable to Edelweiss.

If the rumors and speculations are true, then everyone will be happy. The alliance, which is eager to find talent, is very willing to respect Bai Zhe's proposal and bring forward the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!

Hearing Hoshiguji Kurono's account, Nishikyo Nene immediately came to her side, looked at the email sent by the Alliance on the computer, rested her folding fan on her fair chin, and frowned slightly as she said:

"The alliance will send someone over this afternoon, why the rush?"

Looking at the contents of the letter, Xijing Ningyin knew with her toes who the people sent by the Alliance were.

She could count the number of people stronger than her on one hand, and one of them, the God of War Nango Torajiro, was even her teacher.

She, Xijing Ningyin, refused to believe that the alliance wouldn't leverage this connection!

However, she heard that after Dongtang Daohua, her master took in another junior sister for her. She wondered what kind of person she was.

As for Bai Zhe, who was sitting on the sofa, he said he didn't care.

"Since someone wants to visit, I can't refuse them entry."

However, beneath this indifference, the Demon King clearly positioned himself as someone of higher status than the Alliance.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Ningyin's Filial Piety in Xijing! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

The people urgently dispatched by the Alliance will not arrive at Po Jun Academy until the afternoon.

So after the students finished their morning classes, Nishikyo Ningyin gathered those who had persevered through the Dragon's Might the day before in the forest behind the Pojun Academy.

Bai Zhe was naturally also by Xijing Ningyin's side, after all, these were all potential future subordinates of his, and now he needed to observe them carefully.

Stella, of course, needs no introduction; yesterday's Dragon Might Trial was specifically designed for her.

Among these people, the strongest is Toudou Touka, who is Nishikyo Ningyin's junior sister.

She was a girl with double braids, wearing glasses and looking a bit rustic, but with a very good figure.

Then there are the student council members, among whom Nishikyo Ningyin's favorite is Takaitohara Kanata.

Because this young lady from the Guiyuan family had been specially recruited to enter and exit the battlefield as a student, she naturally knew the dangers of real combat.

Then there's Ayase Ayase and Kakami Kusakabe. As for these two girls...

I saw a delicate, black-haired girl with bangs covering one eye, who seemed awkward and not good at communicating with people; and a blonde girl with a camera, asking questions to Toudou Touka.

Xijing Ningyin pondered the training plans of the two in her mind.

Given their abilities, it would be quite difficult for them to participate in the competition. However, they can be used as decoys to eliminate those who lack the strength but still dare to attempt to participate in the qualifiers!

Immediately, Nishikyo Ningyin looked at Kurogane Ikki, who was standing to the side.

“Xiao Hei told me about your relationship with your family, but those things don’t matter to either of us. As long as you can demonstrate your value, we can help you graduate from this academy smoothly.”

“With Zhejun’s approval, your problem is no longer a problem.”

"I understand, I will try my best."

Upon hearing this, Kurogane Ikki bowed deeply to Bai Zhe, his gaze towards Bai Zhe instantly filled with gratitude.

After all these years, he finally met someone who didn't discriminate against him because of his naturally low magic power!

As for the other person who ran away yesterday, Nishikyo Ningyin crossed him off her notebook as he scrambled out of the arena.

Immediately, Xijing Ningyin clapped her hands lightly with her folding fan and said, "Now everyone will be divided into two lines, men and women. Girls, come with me. Boys, stay here and receive Zhe-jun's training."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xijing Ningyin led several girls to another part of the forest, and soon they heard the sound of swords clashing in the distance.

One of the boys couldn't sit still any longer and, not wanting to be outdone by the girls, immediately asked Bai Zhe, "That guest elder, shouldn't we also...?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe leisurely found a rock and sat down.

"Do not worry."

Immediately afterwards, a ball of flame ignited from his fingertip and flew out gently, landing on the grass. In an instant, it transformed into several enormous fire beasts that pounced on the boy.

"Come on, let me see your sword-wielding skills. Just a heads up, the temperature of these flames exceeds three thousand degrees."

Suddenly, the boys' side became miserable, especially Kurogane Ikki, who had the lowest magic power and could only desperately dodge and look for an opportunity to attack.

Bai Zhe, sitting on the rock, watched all of this intently.

"Causal interference, that's rather interesting... And then there's the cumulative strike, is this some kind of stacked Mejai's Soulstealer...?"

As Bai Zhe predicted, the first to fall on the boys' side was Sui Cheng Lei, followed by Yu Fu Pao, and finally Kurogane Ikki, who had no choice but to unleash Yi Dao Shura under the siege of the Flame Beasts.

The entire ordeal lasted less than ten minutes, and the three of them were lying on the ground covered in injuries.

"This is the One-Sword Asura? The way it unleashes its magic and moves its muscles are slightly different from what I developed..."

"However, I did see something somewhat interesting. For your sister's sake, from now on you will serve as the swordsmanship instructor for the new recruits of 007 and teach them life-or-death techniques."

Although he hadn't seen Kurogane Shizuku yet, he had clearly already set his sights on this water witch.

Bai Zhe then fell silent. A few seconds later, he waved his hand to make up for the slight difference, and then looked at the group of boys who were lying on the ground unable to get up. He dispersed the Flame Beast and took out Xijing Ningyin's phone to notify Shinguji Hei Nairan that she would send someone to retrieve the three of them.

After a while, Xijing Ningyin, who hadn't heard any commotion, came over and saw the three people lying on the ground and Bai Zhe sitting on the rock.

Upon seeing this, Xijing Ningyin immediately opened her folding fan to cover her face and said, "They've fallen so quickly. Aren't the boys in this year's class too incompetent?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe slowly said, "I've lost interest in them. When your master arrives later, I'll hand over the boys' group to him."

Upon hearing this, Xijing Ningyin nodded.

"If you just ask, I don't think he'll refuse."

Furthermore, she secretly harbored some unfilial thoughts towards her master.

If the other party's stubbornness flares up, will Bai Zhe teach him a lesson?

It's all because every year when she goes to pay New Year's greetings to him, that old geezer always makes fun of her in front of her teacher's wife, saying she's an unwanted old maid!

While waiting for Shinomiya Kurono to send someone, the girls' group didn't sit idle but continued to make contacts.

Stella fights alone against Kusakabe Kagami and Ayatsuji Ayase.

Because Toudou Touka is being questioned by Nishikyo Ningyin about information related to her youngest junior sister.

"Dao Hua, do you know who that old man's disciple was after you?"

"It seems that the surname is also Kurogane, and the name is... Kurogane Shizuku."

As Toudou Touka finished speaking, Bai Zhe's gaze swept over, immediately puzzling the two women. Xijing Ningyin, who was close to Bai Zhe, asked, "What's wrong with the name Kurogane Shizuku?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe pointed to Kurogane Ikki lying on the ground and slowly replied, "His sister."

The moment Bai Zhe finished speaking, Xi Jing Ningyin immediately let out a disdainful laugh.

"The older brother is the worst student in the academy, while the younger sister is a disciple of the God of War. The Black Iron family is really interesting."

She then asked Dongtang Daohua, "How is it, Daohua? Is that child capable?"

Toudou Touka is a very honest girl; she speaks her mind.

“I’ve only met her a few times, so we’ve never fought, but I’ve never felt threatened by her.”

Upon hearing this, Xijing Ningyin rested her folding fan on her chin and said indifferently, "Well, it seems that's not all that great~ Has the Kurogane family started to slowly decline after leaving Kurogane Ryoma?"

Shortly after she finished speaking, people from Shinomiya Kuro's faction arrived carrying a stretcher, bringing with them news that the Alliance had arrived.
