Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Upon hearing the instructions in his earpiece, Zhuge Liuyun frowned slightly, his tone hesitant.

"That's not really appropriate."

"We're all classmates from the same school, there's no need to make things so ugly."

The voice on the other end of the earphone was cold and piercing, devoid of any human warmth.

Just listen to me.

"The scions of noble families will be the core force supporting Eternal Star in the future."

"Our own dignity must not be challenged by ordinary people at the bottom of society."

"You crippled her in public today."

"This will make the bottom line clear to everyone in the school, and let them understand that not everyone can mess with the scions of powerful families."

"This will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future."

The man's tone became even more forceful, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Don't forget, she's already challenged you seven times."

"It's because she repeatedly failed to know when to advance or retreat."

"More and more ordinary students are following the trend and trying to climb the popularity charts, attempting to snatch resources from us."

"We are far stronger than them, so we are not afraid of losing at all. But we get tired of watching ants jumping around repeatedly."

Zhuge Liuyun still hesitated, and spoke in a low voice.

"But……"

The voice in the earphones interrupted him, its tone indifferent yet ruthless.

"There's no 'but' about it. It's just that he was seriously injured, not that anyone died."

"Afterwards, you simply said that in a fight in the ring, there are no limits to the speed of punches and kicks, and that it was an accidental mishap."

"If we take a few more doses of high-grade medicine to the infirmary, this matter can be easily resolved."

"If the chairman holds you accountable afterward, the Sima family will cover for you; it has nothing to do with you."

Zhuge Liuyun remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

"……good."

He looked up, his gaze returning to Tang Xiaoran on the other side of the ring.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoran was gritting her teeth and doing her best to gather the remaining magic power in her body.

Zhuge Liuyun knew this clearly.

The two were at the same cultivation level; the other was simply consuming too much demonic energy.

My reserves are only slightly more than the other party's.

In a normal fight, it wouldn't be difficult to knock someone off the stage in one move.

However, relying solely on existing magic power is not a safe bet if one wants to take advantage of the situation and severely damage the opponent.

The difference in skill level is even smaller in close combat, which can easily lead to injuries to both sides, making it a losing proposition.

While he was thinking, he reached into his pocket and took out a bright red enhancement potion.

He tilted his head back and swallowed it in one gulp.

The moment the medicine enters the body, its scorching power explodes instantly.

His aura surged, and his wind magic power surged wildly.

On the field, a sudden gust of wind swept across the entire arena, causing the flags at the corners of the ring to flutter wildly.

A corner of the audience seats.

Chen Xun stared at the sudden change in the situation on the stage, his eyes instantly darkening.

Something's not right.

"Zhuge Liuyun has just clearly received instructions from outsiders."

"This time, he really intends to kill."

"The power he's accumulating now is something Tang Xiaoran simply can't withstand in her current state."

"This blow will at least result in serious injury."

The chubby boy next to him nodded repeatedly, his face full of anxiety.

"That's right."

"When the two of them fought before, they always stopped short of exchanging blows."

"Tang Xiaoran lost every time, but Zhuge Liuyun never used his full strength."

"The outcome of today's match was already clear."

"He's actually taking drugs to boost his power; that's so abnormal."

As the two analyzed the situation in hushed tones, the temperature in the stadium inexplicably plummeted.

The surrounding air was bone-chillingly cold.

Why is it suddenly so cold?

The chubby boy shivered, instinctively hugging his arms tightly, feeling cold all over.

The chill came from behind me.

He instinctively turned around and saw two girls sitting in the back row.

The girl on the left has long, straight black hair that falls to her shoulders, and her face is clean and fair. She sits quietly without uttering a word, a typical taciturn person. A faint ice-type magic surrounds her, and a chill emanates from her.

The girl on the right has her hair tied in cute pigtails, with a single tuft of hair sticking up on top of her head, making her look exceptionally lively and adorable.

The chubby boy looked at the long, straight black-haired girl who exuded a chilling aura and asked in a low voice.

"Li Muzi, what's wrong? Who upset you?"

Chen Xun, who was standing to the side, also noticed something was wrong and looked at the silent Li Muzi.

"Are you planning to save her?"

Li Muzi nodded slightly and uttered only one word.

"Um."

Chen Xun and the chubby boy immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Back then, only six students from Donghai Magic High School were admitted to Yanjing Magic University.

Li Muzi, Chen Xun, Tang Xiaoran, Ye Lingling, Wang Qiang, and the chubby boy.

They shared three years of friendship as classmates and studied at the same top university.

Apart from Wang Qiang, who is aloof and keeps to himself, the others are already as close as brothers and sisters.

More importantly, there was the secret realm trial two years ago.

Tang Xiaoran once risked her life to save Li Muzi from a dangerous situation.

Li Muzi always kept this kindness in her heart.

Chen Xun pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with determination.

"I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, his magical power surged within him, ready to intercept the fatal blow from the arena at any moment.

Ye Lingling, standing beside her, clasped her hands together, filled with anxiety, and silently prayed for Tang Xiaoran.

"Xiao Ran, you have to hang in there."

In the six-person team, Ye Lingling and the chubby boy had mediocre talents.

Getting into Yenching University was purely a matter of luck.

To this day, the two remain stuck at the intermediate mage level, unable to break through to the archmage level.

In contrast, Chen Xun and Li Muzi...

One person has firmly established themselves at the early stage of the Archmage level, while the other has already broken through to the middle stage.

Of all the people present, only the two of them had the ability to intervene in the arena battle and save Tang Xiaoran.

And in terms of identity...

Future Architecture Group is now a behemoth spanning the entire Eternal Star.

It controls nearly 80% of the world's gene therapy production and has a market value of over 100 trillion.

Countless magicians and powerful divine beings have received support and gifts from the Li family.

This is precisely why Li Muzi has the confidence to disregard any scions of powerful families.

At that very moment, a deafening roar erupted from the arena.

Once Zhuge Liuyun had gathered his strength, a tremendous gust of wind slammed into Tang Xiaoran, who was powerless to resist.

Layer upon layer of wind blades slashed at the demonic armor.

Tang Xiaoran's magic power was depleted, making it impossible for her to maintain the operation of her armor.

The pure white moonlight demon armor shattered instantly, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

The stands erupted in a flurry of panicked gasps.

"Oh no! Senior Tang is in danger!"

"Someone, hurry and save them!"

In the exclusive VIP seats high up in the stadium.

A purple-haired youth silently surveyed the entire scene, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, that's it."

"Let these guys see the power of a prestigious family."

At the critical moment, two powerful magical forces shot out from the audience seats and crashed directly into the storm sweeping towards the arena.

The two attacks had a clear objective: to forcibly block the fatal blow and protect Tang Xiaoran.

Upon seeing this, the purple-haired youth in the VIP section instantly turned cold and stern.

"Dare to ruin my plans?"

He raised his hand and instantly unleashed a fierce bolt of lightning, intercepting Chen Xun and Li Muzi's rescue magic in mid-air.

Boom!

The four powerful magical attributes collided violently in mid-air.

A gentle breeze swirled the vines, and icy ice collided with thunder.

The violent clash of magic unleashed a massive shockwave that spread wildly in all directions.

The stadium's built-in protective barrier instantly lit up, firmly locking in all impact and protecting the entire audience.

The storm subsided briefly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, everyone's hearts were in their throats again, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

Smoke and dust filled the air above the arena, and thick fog completely obscured the two figures, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Tens of thousands of spectators held their breath, their eyes fixed on the center of the ring, not daring to blink.

The battle situation suddenly reversed, and no one had time to react.

First, two streams of magic rushed out from the stands to rescue people, and then a bolt of lightning from the VIP seats blocked them. The four streams of magic collided violently in one place.

Even if Zhuge Liuyun had taken an enhancement potion to boost his strength beforehand, such a violent impact would still put him in a very dangerous situation.

On the other side, Tang Xiaoran's magic power was already depleted, and her protective magic armor had long since shattered.

The situation is even worse; she simply cannot withstand the aftershocks of the shockwave and will most likely die on the spot.

The purple-haired youth in the VIP section had a cold look in his eyes, his gaze fixed on Li Muzi and Chen Xun in the distance.

"You dare to ruin my plans."

"I'll settle this score with you later."

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the smoke-filled arena, quietly awaiting the outcome.

As the dust settled slowly, the entire arena was gradually revealed to the crowd.

The playing surface was in a state of disrepair, covered with countless cracks.

Zhuge Liuyun lay sprawled on the ground, motionless.

His magic armor had long since disintegrated as his magic power was exhausted.

The terrifying shockwave from just now landed entirely on him.

His skin and flesh were torn apart, his bones were broken in many places, his limbs were completely useless, and his breath was extremely weak, barely clinging to life.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared intently at the arena, their throats bobbing, and they subconsciously swallowed.

Everyone's gaze quickly swept across the entire room, and a huge question instantly arose in their minds.

On the arena, only the critically injured and dying Zhuge Liuyun remained.

Tang Xiaoran's figure completely disappeared.

Where are they?

"Why is it only Zhuge Liuyun here?"

Where did Tang Xiaoran go?

A chorus of surprised and bewildered gasps erupted from the audience.

"It couldn't just disappear into thin air!"

"Even if it was torn apart by the shockwave, there should still be fragments of clothing or traces of flesh left behind."

"But now it's completely clean, without a single trace!"

Amidst the growing confusion, a clear and calm voice suddenly resounded throughout the stadium.

"First, carry Zhuge Liuyun to the infirmary for treatment."

The purple-haired youth slowly rose from the VIP seats and strode towards the arena.

He walked with a composed gait, but his eyes were gloomy.

Without a second thought, he had already guessed the truth.

There is no wreckage left, so there is only one possibility.

In the midst of the chaos, someone silently took Tang Xiaoran away.

This was also what puzzled him the most.

He was already at the mid-stage of the Archmage realm.

Among the current students at Yenching University, there are very few whose abilities are superior to his, and all of them belong to the aristocratic student association, so they are all his own people.

Who on earth dared to intervene in public and take someone away perfectly without revealing the slightest flaw, right under the noses of tens of thousands of people?

Either the opponent's cultivation level far surpasses one's own, with a huge gap in their realms.

Either the other party possesses extremely rare spatial magic.

The purple-haired youth stepped onto the center of the arena, coldly surveying the tens of thousands of students below.

The voice was icy, echoing throughout every corner of the venue.

"Tang Xiaoran initiated the challenge, a duel in the ring, with the outcome at her own risk."

"I have noted down the person who intervened in the battle without authorization."

His cold gaze swept over Li Muzi and Chen Xun, carrying a strong sense of intimidation.

He then questioned in a deep voice.

"I only need one answer."

"Who exactly secretly took Tang Xiaoran away and broke the rules of the arena?"

Before the purple-haired youth could finish speaking, a lazy and indifferent female voice suddenly rang out from a secluded corner of the stands.

"I saved her."

"Is there a problem?"

The purple-haired youth turned his head to look at the sound.

Three figures sat quietly in the shadows of the corner.

The two figures were wearing black baseball caps and masks, their faces completely obscured.

And in the middle of the three was Tang Xiaoran, who should have disappeared from the arena.

At this moment, all her injuries had been healed, her clothes were neat, her breathing was steady, and she showed no signs of dishevelment or dejection.

Tens of thousands of eyes in the entire venue instantly focused on the three people in the corner.

The stands fell completely silent.

The chubby boy stared at Xu Wan, who was wearing a mask, scratched his head, and looked puzzled.

"That voice... why does it sound so familiar?"

Chen Xun's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at the figure.

"It feels very familiar to me too."

"That tone and expression...it's so much like Xu Wan."

Li Muzi, who had been silent and reserved, had her gaze fixed on the white-haired girl.

Deep contemplation surfaced in his clear, cool eyes.

On the arena, the purple-haired youth stared intently at the two unfamiliar figures in the corner.

The other party's aura was so well concealed that he couldn't detect the slightest bit of its depth.

After observing him for a moment, he spoke in a cold voice.

"Aren't you currently enrolled at Yenching University?"

Xu Wan responded calmly.

"no."

The purple-haired youth's brows furrowed, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance and disdain.

Which magic college?

"What is your purpose in trespassing into the arena of a top university?"

There are only ten legitimate magic universities in the world.

All other magic-related institutions are classified as junior colleges, with vastly different resources and entry requirements.

In the eyes of scions of wealthy families, college graduates are simply not worth mentioning.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan scoffed, her tone cold and casual.

"Not a junior college."

"We both only have a junior high school education."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Come on if you want to make a move."

"If you don't want to fight... then get lost!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

How dare an outsider with only a junior high school education publicly rebuke the student council leaders at the Yan University venue?

The purple-haired youth's face instantly turned ashen.

"You're telling me to get out?"

In an instant, a dense and violent burst of lightning magic erupted from his body.

Amidst the crackling and popping of lightning, a thick bolt of lightning struck Xu Wan, who was lurking in the corner.

It's so fast that it gives people no time to react.

Facing the deadly lightning attack that was rushing towards her, Xu Wan stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

Boom!

The thunder struck her precisely, and the blinding lightning instantly engulfed her figure.

A hint of joy flashed in the purple-haired youth's eyes.

But that look of joy froze completely in an instant.

The lightning slowly dissipated.

Xu Wan stood quietly in place, her clothes neat and tidy.

The lightning that was just enough to severely injure a mage didn't even scratch a single hair on her head.

"How could this be..." The purple-haired youth's pupils shrank sharply, and a storm of shock surged in his heart.

He understood instantly.

The woman in front of him, dressed in the style of Jiaxin, possessed a cultivation level far exceeding his own.

Before he could react, Xu Wan's body was suddenly enveloped in a surge of immense magical power.

An immense and boundless pressure, like a towering tsunami, instantly enveloped the entire stadium.

Boom!

A terrifying suppressive force slammed heavily onto the arena.

Before the purple-haired youth could even let out a scream, his body exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist and disappearing without a trace.

The entire room fell silent.

Tens of thousands of students dared not breathe, their pupils trembling and their minds shaken.

No one had ever seen such terrifying power.

They had only ever felt this unfathomable pressure from a few veteran teachers on campus.

And all those teachers were at the Grand Magister level.

The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone knew perfectly well that.

This matter has blown up completely today.

Xu Wan coldly swept her gaze across the empty arena, now stained only with scattered bloodstains.

She never intended to interfere in the competitions and rivalries between students.

If it were a normal ring duel, and Tang Xiaoran lost because she was less skilled, she would have nothing to say.

However, Zhuge Liuyun believed the instructions.

The scions of powerful families bullied others and deliberately sought to kill.

The purple-haired youth secretly obstructed the rescue, determined to kill Tang Xiaoran.

She will not tolerate any transgression of her bottom line.

Xu Wan turned her head and nodded slightly to Li Muzi and Chen Xun in the audience.

"Thank you for your help earlier."

Chen Xun shook his head slightly, his expression calm.

"It was just a small favor."

Li Muzi remained taciturn, uttering only a single word.

"Um."

At this moment, the group confirmed each other's identities.

Xu Wan, who had disappeared for several years, has returned.

The identity of the white-haired girl beside him was self-evident.

Chu Ge spoke softly.

"Let's go."

"Okay," Xu Wan nodded in response.

Amidst the stunned and speechless gazes of everyone present, the three turned around, calmly left the stadium, and walked straight out of the Yanjing Magic University stadium.

The female student who had given them directions was now completely blank and stunned.

She was just casually leading the way for two strangers.

I never expected this.

These two seemingly ordinary and unassuming people from outside the school.

It turns out that a terrifying being at the level of a Grand Magister was hidden inside.

Moreover, this mysterious expert had just publicly killed a scion of a powerful family.

Yenching University is about to undergo a major transformation.

……

Inside a private room at a high-end hotel in the city.

Chu Ge and his two companions appeared and took their seats.

The waiters served the dishes one after another, filling the table with delicious food, and then left the private room.

After confirming that no one was around.

Chu Ge and Xu Wan removed their face masks and baseball caps.

Two faces so familiar they were etched into my memory were clearly revealed.

Sitting in the middle, Tang Xiaoran looked at the two people she had been longing for day and night.

Years of pent-up emotions suddenly broke down.

A lump formed in her throat, tears instantly streamed down her face, and she choked out a sob.

"Wanwan... Chu Ge..."

Seeing Tang Xiaoran suddenly burst into tears, Xu Wan was instantly at a loss.

She turned to Chu Ge in a panic, her eyes pleading, completely unsure how to comfort him.

Chu Ge sighed softly.

Even Xu Wan, as the older cousin, was at a loss, so as an outsider, she had no idea how to comfort her.

Having experienced countless life-and-death separations, Chu Ge had long since figured out the simplest way to comfort others.

embrace.

She stood up, stepped forward, and hugged Tang Xiaoran, whose eyes were red and swollen, tightly.

He gently cradled the back of her head with his palm, his movements tender and reassuring.

They remained silent throughout, offering each other a sense of security only through hugs.

A familiar scent enveloped my entire body.

Years of suppressed longing, grievances, and fear erupted all at once.

Tang Xiaoran buried her face in her shoulder and cried even harder.

Chu Ge lowered his head slightly, looking at the girl in his arms who was crying and trembling, and seemed a little helpless.

"What's wrong?"

"Did I hug you too tightly and hurt you?"

She secretly wondered to herself.

He said that it was normal for him to hug Lilith, Aria, and his aunt Lin Xueli before.

I've never felt so panicked before.

She turned her head to look at Xu Wan beside her.

Xu Wan's eyes darted around, and she turned her head away guiltily. Without saying a word, she buried her head in her rice, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

Chu Ge remained silent in despair.

Looking at the table full of steaming food, my stomach started growling.

She was also very hungry and wanted to sit down and eat.

But with someone crying uncontrollably in his arms, he couldn't get away at all.

Time passes little by little.

Ten minutes later, Tang Xiaoran's crying gradually subsided, and her emotions calmed down.

Chu Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I silently prayed to myself, "Just a little longer and I'll be able to eat properly."

Who knew that just one minute later...

The girl in his arms began to breathe slowly and steadily.

My tense mind finally relaxed completely.

Tang Xiaoran actually fell asleep in her arms.

Chu Ge froze on the spot.

I've completely lost my temper.

It looks like we won't be able to have this meal at all.

Xu Wan, who had eaten and drunk her fill, rubbed her round belly and let out a shallow burp.

She looked up at the frozen Chu Ge, her gaze strange, a hint of triumphant smile hidden in her eyes.

Xu Wan looked at the sleeping Tang Xiaoran and muttered to herself.

Five years have passed.

Hajiran is eagerly awaiting our return.

I don't have any decent gifts.

Let's borrow Old Chu's help to calm him down.

I don't think they'll mind.

Chu Ge looked at her meaningful gaze, his face full of confusion and question marks.

……

It was evening.

Inside a king-size bed room at a chain hotel.

Tang Xiaoran slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

On the two beds opposite each other, Chu Ge and Xu Wan were sitting cross-legged, meditating with their eyes closed.

Hearing the noise, the two opened their eyes at the same time.

Xu Wan spoke first, her tone slightly teasing.

"Hakiran, you can really sleep."

"Like a pig."

"I slept until it was completely dark."

Tang Xiaoran instantly recalled the embarrassing scene from noon.

She threw herself into Chu Ge's arms and cried loudly in front of everyone, and then fell asleep right away.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and filled with remorse, she quickly apologized.

"Chu Ge, I'm so sorry!"

"I was out of line at noon, I'm really sorry."

"It's nothing." Chu Ge shook his head gently, his tone calm and mild.

Last night, Xu Wan simply told Tang Xiaoran that the two of them were still alive and had returned to Donghai.

As for all the experiences over these five years.

Tang Xiaoran knew nothing about it.

After gathering her thoughts, Xu Wan recounted the key experiences of the past five years in detail.

As the truth is gradually revealed.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became heavy.

I came to Yenching University today specifically to see Tang Xiaoran, whom I haven't seen for many years.

Xu Wan also had a crucial objective.

Searching for her father who has been missing for many years.

She looked at Tang Xiaoran, who was in a daze, and spoke earnestly.

"Hakiran, do you have any news about my husband, Deng?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoran's face instantly darkened, and she gently shook her head.

"I don't know."

She slowly recalled the turmoil of that year, her voice low and somber.

"That incident caused such a huge stir back then that the entire internet was flooded with condemnation."

"Not only my uncle, but our entire Tang family has been thrust into the spotlight and subjected to countless criticisms and insults."

When the Chu and Xu families got into trouble, public opinion on the internet spiraled out of control.

Both the Tang and Xu families live in high-security residential areas with dedicated personnel on duty for protection.

They didn't encounter the extreme situation like the Chu family, where they were splashed with paint, dumped with garbage, and maliciously harassed.

The glaring red spray paint and insults, and the mountains of garbage and debris in front of the Chu family's door.

The property management cleaned it up overnight.

That's why Chu Ge didn't see those shocking traces when he returned home last night.

Tang Xiaoran's voice grew even lower.

"The pressure from public opinion is suffocating."

"My uncle eventually resigned from all his public positions, sold all his family property, and left Donghai overnight."

"After that, there was absolutely no news of them."

"My parents have never stopped searching all these years."

"But there wasn't a single clue."

Her tone shifted, and she suddenly remembered something.

"However, before my uncle left Donghai, he made a special trip to my house once."

"He said he was going to find someone."

"As long as we can find that person, we are 100% certain that we can bring you back from the brink of death."

Xu Wan's eyes lit up instantly, and she leaned forward slightly, pressing for an answer in an urgent tone.

"Who is it? What's their name? Who is they?"

This is currently the most crucial clue.

Once she has a target in mind, she can follow the trail to find her missing father.

Tang Xiaoran tried hard to recall, her mind racing.

The name that had been so clearly in my mind vanished completely in an instant.

She looked confused and frowned.

"strangeness……"

"I just remembered."

"How come I can't remember anything in the blink of an eye?"

Seeing the disappointment in Xu Wan's eyes, she quickly tried to comfort her.

"Wanwan, don't worry."

"I'll call home right now and ask."

"My parents were there too, they definitely remember."

"Okay." Xu Wan suppressed her anxiety and rekindled a glimmer of hope.

Tang Xiaoran picked up her phone from the bedside table and quickly dialed her father's number.

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.

The first sound that came through the receiver was Tang's father's gentle laughter.

"Xiao Ran, why are you calling at this hour?"

Following closely behind was the gentle and loving voice of Tang's mother.

"Are you running out of money for living expenses? Or is someone at school bullying you?"

"Neither."

Tang Xiaoran quickly skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"Dad, I want to ask you something."

"Before my uncle left, he came to our house and said he was going to find someone. Finding that person would save my cousin Wanwan."

"Do you remember that person's name and identity? I suddenly can't recall it."

"I remember, of course I remember," Tang's father replied.

Then, an eerie silence fell over the other end of the phone.

A few seconds later, the couple's puzzled mutterings could be heard.

"Strange, I can't remember that person's name."

"I can't remember... How could I not recall something so important?"

Upon hearing that her parents also suffered from amnesia, Tang Xiaoran's heart sank.

After a brief chat to calm her parents down, she hung up the phone and looked at Xu Wan apologetically.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry... My parents can't remember either."

"fine."

Xu Wan gently shook her head, her expression gradually calming down, and a sense of clarity appeared in her eyes.

"I think I know why."

"The person my husband went to specifically seek out can reverse life and death and bring me back to life."

"They must be at least quasi-emperors."

"You, your aunt, and your uncle all forgot the relevant information."

"Perhaps their memories were forcibly erased."

"The other party deliberately cut off this clue, just to prevent me from tracing back and finding him."

Chu Ge nodded slightly, agreeing with her analysis.

You're right.

"An existence that can easily alter other people's memories is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"You don't need to be too anxious."

"The fact that he intervened to stop Xiao Ran from revealing his name shows that the other party has been observing the whole thing from the shadows."

"If your father knew him, he is most likely safe and sound right now, or even right next to him."

She thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

"Your ability to travel to the Witch Star and successfully resurrect is most likely the result of this mysterious powerful figure pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Xu Wan closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, a clear conjecture had appeared in them.

She needs to verify this guess as soon as possible.

Xu Wan turned to look at Tang Xiaoran beside her and asked softly.

"What are your plans for the future? Will you continue studying at school?"

Tang Xiaoran shook her head gently, her eyes filled with confusion.

If Chu Ge and Xu Wan had not returned.

Her life trajectory was already set.

Day after day, they cultivate themselves to become stronger, striving desperately to reach higher realms.

She longed to one day be powerful enough to rule the ages and resurrect the two most important people in her life.

But now, the two people I've been longing for are standing right in front of me.

Her goal, which she had held onto for years, suddenly fell through, leaving her at a loss for what to do next.

After a long silence, she spoke softly.

"Let's go back to school."

Only by constantly becoming stronger can we acquire sufficient power.

Only then can we protect everyone we cherish when we face dire situations in the future.

We must prevent the tragedy of that year from repeating itself.

"Go to school? What kind of lousy school is that!"

Xu Wan raised her hand and patted her shoulder, her tone full of disappointment.

"If I hadn't come back, you could have just focused on your studies and cultivation, and I wouldn't have held a grudge against you."

"Now that Chu Ge and I are back, why are you going back to that rule-bound school?"

She stood tall and proud, her tone full of arrogance.

"I'm not bragging."

"The entire faculty and students of Yenching University combined wouldn't be enough for me to beat."

"Even if your principal came, I could easily crush him."

"Don't waste your time going back."

"Follow me, and I'll take you everywhere to train and fight monsters, quickly improving your cultivation level."

Seeing Xu Wan's spirited appearance, Tang Xiaoran couldn't help but smile gently and nod obediently.

"Okay, I'll listen to Wanwan and not go back to school."

But deep down, she still harbored a deep worry.

On the field today, Xu Wan publicly killed a high-ranking member of the student council.

This news had already spread rapidly throughout Yenching University.

Although their faces were covered throughout, their identities have not yet been revealed.

However, the powerful families were deeply entrenched, and their intelligence networks spanned the entire country.

It won't be long before they find clues and pinpoint the three of them.

Especially the president of Yenching University's student union.

That mysterious girl whose appearance and temperament were almost identical to Zhu Rong.

He can be described as a prodigy of our time.

Tang Xiaoran still remembers her experience in the Sahara Secret Realm six months ago.

The entire group of students accidentally entered the territory of ancient monsters and were surrounded and killed by several SS-level monsters.

In the face of dire straits, it was the student council president who, with his invincible fire magic, carved out a path to survival and saved all the team members.

At the time, some people asserted that...

If it weren't for the numerous burdens around him, that guild leader could have swept through the entire ancient race on his own.

After this battle, she firmly secured her title as the top student among the ten schools.

Their strength is unfathomable, and no one dares to provoke them lightly.

Xu Wan's current display of Grand Magister strength is indeed formidable.

But he might not stand a chance against that legendary student council president.

Although the president came from a prominent family.

However, he was completely different from the other arrogant and domineering scions of powerful families.

He is fair in his dealings and reasonable with a bottom line.

However, Xu Wan publicly killed a student council member today, violating the bottom line of school rules.

No one can guarantee that the other party won't come forward to hold them accountable.

But no matter what storms or crises may come in the future.

Tang Xiaoran had already made up her mind.

No matter how stormy the road ahead may be, she will always stand behind Chu Ge and Xu Wan.

We will stay together through thick and thin.

Xu Wan looked at Chu Ge, who was silent beside her, and spoke crisply and decisively.

"Old Chu, let's go back to the East China Sea."

"I'm going to a place to verify my suspicions."
