Magic High School.

She's truly an inherently evil woman!

Xiaoye immediately rolled her eyes and ignored this guy who was spouting nonsense. Besides, this guy's nonsense was different from Ryza's; although they both spouted nonsense, they were on different levels.

Lysa has even lower morals, and Li Ge has an even more foul mouth.

She wanted to conserve some spiritual energy to give those who wanted to climb the ranks a good beating in the arena, instead of wasting it on them.

For these newly-ranked second-level mages, every bit of spiritual power is incredibly precious and must be used sparingly.

As for why Yilian was so arrogant just now, well, there's no way around it; the Earth Elementalist's Noble Phantasm with its infinite mana bar is just too authoritative. Yilian even feels that the Earth Elementalist's Noble Phantasm is going to become a fixed part of her "Hands of God," and she'll go find the Earth Elementalist to "steal" it every time she uses it.

Soon, the two people who were slumped in the lounge saw Xiaoye silently walk out and then also collapse onto the sofa.

"What happened? Were you tortured?" Li Ge asked.

"I got matched with someone playing Holy Light..." Xiaoye complained.

"Isn't that normal? There are quite a few people on the religious side of our school, and Valerie already knows basic Holy Light," Li Ge said casually.

"She casually conjured up a small sun, and that thing actually worked like a shadowless lamp, splitting into seven light sources in the sky. I couldn't even find a shadow within that sun's range..." Xiaoye continued to complain. The woman she was matched with, who seemed to be an elf, had originally planned to torture others, but ended up being tortured herself.

Li Ge and Yi Lian: "..."

We've been matched against a natural counter, oh well.

Xiaoye's strength lies in her ability to perfectly utilize shadows, while her weakness is that her power is greatly reduced when there are no shadows.

Therefore, whether in a dark area with no light source or in an area full of light, her abilities are almost unusable, since the condition for the creation of a shadow is the presence of light.

However, under multiple light sources, the range of shadows she can control is greatly reduced, so it's better to just go up and stab them.

However, it seems that after losing his shadow, he hasn't taken any more.

"Who is it? I'll go find some information. There shouldn't be many girls who use Holy Light to this extent," Yi Lian complained, starting to fiddle with her phone.

Then, he found a name with shock and said with slight surprise, "That's not surprising, that's not surprising..."

"What's wrong?" Li Ge asked curiously.

"Xiaoye was matched with the top student in the traditional department, that fairy named Sylph, who has the second-highest average score in the entire grade, second only to you," Yilian immediately complained.

He even felt that, in terms of pure strength, that fairy was probably stronger than all of them. After all, Li Ge's average score of first place was mostly due to his brains, while that fairy, Yi Lian had studied her style, and she mostly preferred to confront people head-on, with whoever won being the boss.

"This person's average score is second, and their strength might even surpass Li Ge's," Yi Lian continued to complain.

Xiaoye: "..."

Just as the group was complaining, Yi Lian suddenly received a message from the dark web. It was information he had asked a friend to find out about the senior who had been sacrificed, as mentioned by the old dwarf.

“I don’t know much else, but I heard that the boss’s business trip might be related to this,” his friend on the dark web said.

Chapter 136 God's Powder

Yi Lian was stunned for a moment. He immediately abandoned the news about the fairy's classmate and quickly focused on his boss.

After all, that fairy only seemed to be slightly stronger than them, and it took her more than half an hour to finish the battle even though she was completely at Xiaoye's mercy, proving that her strength was also limited.

Perhaps giving yourself a few days to warm up will achieve the same effect, or even better.

Yi Lian has basically selected some of her treasures. She likes Earth Senior's Heart of the Earth and Ocean Element Senior's Ocean Current, and then there's Xiao Ye's Shadow Control.

In fact, he had always thought that Saya's shadow was super powerful. It had the ability to survive by "entering the shadows", as well as the ability to infiltrate and attack. It could be said to be a very comprehensive Noble Phantasm.

If it weren't for the prerequisite of needing a shadow to activate it, it could even be considered a perfect Noble Phantasm. This is probably why the company is so determined to get rid of Ranba Yoru; the company's people are also very envious of this ability.

Perhaps the magical organs they created were initially designed to exploit Luan Poye's talent.

As for Valerie and Ligo's Noble Phantasms...

The side effects of Little Pony's explosion are still too great. And if he copies Earth's Heart, he'll have Explosive Clay, so he won't lack damage output for now.

As for Li Ge's abilities...

蛆！

This is Yilian's assessment. His Noble Phantasm is only suitable for himself; it would be too useless for others.

He actually wanted to copy Li Ge's other treasure, that strange mask, but unfortunately he couldn't copy it for some reason. He could only copy a small branch of its ability, perhaps because his level was not high enough.

With that thought in mind, he went back to the dark web and soon discovered the current intelligence.

The senior who sacrificed himself was just routinely going to the hometown of Senior Longbow to gather information, since it seemed to be one of the origins of potions. However, by chance, he seemed to have discovered some hidden information.

After reporting it to the school, he planned to investigate further, but then disappeared without a trace. In the end, only his two magical artifacts returned, bringing back some information.

This is also the school's last resort: if something goes wrong, at least they can retrieve your Noble Phantasm and use the information on it to determine what happened.

What's most heartbreaking is that the senior students thought they had only discovered new clues and hadn't prepared many life-saving treasures, which led to this tragedy.

Yilian also felt regret. Perhaps the old dwarf also felt regret and sadness when he heard the news.

So that's why the boss and the others rushed to that world to find out the truth?

"I just hope the boss and the others are fully prepared and don't crash again," Yi Lian complained on the dark web.

"It's said that the boss brought his entire team this time, prepared all sorts of life-saving items, and even borrowed a top-tier ancient artifact from the school's treasure vault. If something still goes wrong with that, then probably only someone above the vice-principal level in the entire school will personally intervene," another person on the dark web said.

“That makes sense. By the way, what level is the boss?” Yi Lian asked, still very curious.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a reply: "Are you sure you want to know?"

"if not?"

"You know about dragons, right? Those catastrophe-level creatures that appear all over the universe. Although most of them are at most minor evils, they often cause considerable disasters."

"I have a general idea," Yilian replied.

"Our boss can beat up a dragon." That was the only reply from the other side.

Yi Lian: "..."

Wow, so that guy who acted cute, acted like a jerk, and tricked people for information on the dark web was actually this powerful behind the scenes?

"Then I'm not worried anymore." Yi Lian immediately felt relieved. With Boss being so strong, there's no way he could fail, right?

He immediately glanced at the two people slumped on the sofa, looking utterly exhausted, and asked, "Let's invite Valerie and go out to eat outside the school, along with Lysa and little Lola."

"Alright..." Li Ge said. Anyway, he didn't have any threads left to use for his armor today, so let's eat first.

He was going to the Mystic Academy that afternoon to continue his research with Professor Abaddon before school started.

"I'm planning to spend more time training. I'm getting annoyed seeing you guys overtake me!" Yilian complained.

Initially, he was the strongest among them, but now he even feels that he has been overtaken.

“I plan to find someone to run the website, and I’ll focus most of my energy on improving it,” Yilian said.

"You want to outsource the operation of the website?" Xiaoye suddenly asked.

"What's wrong? Do you know anyone?" Yi Lian asked in surprise.

“Ryza has done this job before. She should be able to pick it up pretty quickly if she familiarizes herself with the system and learns the software,” Xiaoye said, seemingly also thinking of finding Ryza a more respectable job.

Yi Lian: "..."

But that website is not legitimate!

Has Xiaoye never visited that website before?

"Ahem, let's talk about it later..." Yi Lian immediately interrupted the topic.

Meanwhile, Li Ge, standing to the side, was speechless.

Are you really going to outsource that website full of your own erotic pictures? Hagi Lian, you bastard...

……

Meanwhile, in another world, the adjutant and his group...

"What do you mean the entire world is under spatial lockdown?!" The adjutant's face instantly turned ashen.

"That's the situation. It's as if the entire planet's consciousness has become our enemy. Damn it, we should have reported this long ago, but why is this happening? The entire world is completely sealed off; we can't go out, and the outside world can't come in! Unless..."

“Unless what?” the adjutant said immediately.

"Unless the school discovers the anomaly as quickly as possible and immediately assigns the professor capable of deploying the domain to assist in combating the world consciousness... but if the world consciousness is determined to target them..."

He didn't dare say anything more.

That's the biggest problem. They entered the country legally; the school is very strict with other international students, applying in advance before they can enter.

If that's the case, then there's only one possibility...

“We’ve been tricked. The World Consciousness may have colluded with that former cardinal of the Order God Cult, or perhaps he has managed to control it... We fell into their trap from the very beginning!” The adjutant immediately realized the problem.

"Delay! Use every means to delay!" He gritted his teeth and said this.

Despite the fact that they were about to be at odds with almost the entire world, he understood that he and his group had been caught off guard and had suffered a major setback.

But now the signal is cut off, the space is sealed off, and even these people are completely exposed to the surveillance of the world's consciousness.

However, their strength has not been damaged. As long as they persevere, there will definitely be a way!

Furthermore, why was that cardinal able to persuade the world's consciousness? Or, did he control it?

He couldn't understand it, he just couldn't understand it...

"Juno, prepare for battle!" another woman shouted.

The adjutant immediately looked over, but in the next instant, all he saw were endless, twisted, ferocious, and terrifying monsters...

“That is…” he said in horror, looking at the distorted creatures that could not possibly have been born naturally.

"I've searched through all the records, and if I had to find anything that even remotely matches up, it would be this ancient clan belonging to a god..." She glanced at the files in the database and slowly began to speak...

"A monster born of divine blood!"

"That traitor to the Church of Order is researching the power of God!"

……

In the academy city area outside the magic high school, there is a grand shopping mall.

"Are you really going to outsource website maintenance? Slurp..." Lysa slurped her noodles, her face still greasy.

Little Lola was quiet to the side, completely different from the unrestrained Lysa.
