Chapter 159: The Princ.i.p.al’s Request
The mid-term exam ended in an absurd atmosphere.
Early the next morning, Fang Yuan picked up the “Cultivation Manual” and once again stepped onto the Huang group’s training ground.
“Xiao Ying…”
He called out silently, but found that he had lost contact with Xiao Ying.
There were two pet eggs in his pet s.p.a.ce, but there were no signs of ownership. One was the little pet egg he had obtained in the gra.s.s arcane realm, and the other the pet beast egg of the shadow wolf.
He had already understood the power of his trainer’s mark. As long as he had this power, any dead pet beast could return to its origin and reincarnate again.
Now, Fang Yuan had become a famous person in the school. When he went out, he had to wear a mask, or else it would cause a huge sensation.
Fortunately, there were no cla.s.ses to attend now. Furthermore, there were not many people in Huang group, so he could move freely.
At this moment, Fang Yuan was lying on the gra.s.s, staring at the sky in a daze.
A person took small steps calmly and slowly walked to Fang Yuan’s side, shouting, “Fang Yuan, what are you daydreaming about?”
This woman’s roar was so loud that Fang Yuan was frightened. “Xinyu, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?”
Just now, Fang Yuan was thinking about his future life, but Xinyu directly interrupted his train of thought.
“Is your father the great demon king?” Xinyu said thoughtfully, “Otherwise, how could you use the power of the demon race?”
Due to Fang Yuan’s performance, the teachers decided not to hide the matter of the demon race anymore. Instead, they told all the students everything.
About 10 meters away from them, Huang Ying in white was looking at them with a smile.
“If it weren’t for Teacher Huang and the princ.i.p.al protecting you, I would have been worried that Senior Ouyang would have cut you into pieces,” Xinyu said with lingering fear. Then, they saw Huang Ying walk over.
Fang Yuan understood that Huang Ying was going to tell him everything he knew. He turned his body over and sat on the ground, quietly listening to Huang Ying’s next speech.
“In the era when pet beasts had just awakened, some people were also affected by the spiritual energy. They were so powerful that others were afraid of them.”
“I don’t know whether it was luck or the creator’s intention, but at this time, an arcane realm was created and became the home of these mutated humans.”
“It was peaceful at first, but with the expansion of human desires, the pet beasts in the real world were not enough for them to share. Then, humans extended their hands into the arcane realm.”
“At first, the humans were not a match for the demons, but the humans invented the fusion skill and a series of pet beast legion tactics, allowing the humans to gradually gain the upper hand in the battle with the demons.”
“The demons had no choice but to be forced into a cave in the secret realm. Fortunately, that cave was actually connected to another s.p.a.ce, which was also suitable for the demons to live in.”
“Unfortunately, the creatures that went there would obtain eternal life.”
Huang Ying sighed.
“Wait, eternal life? Isn’t that a good thing? How can it be called misfortune?”
Xinyu looked at Huang Ying in confusion.
“Hahaha, if you live in sin and fear, then you won’t think that eternal life is a good thing. Therefore, in this world, there will always be people who choose to commit suicide.”
Huang Ying’s words were like a clap of thunder on flat ground, exploding waves in the pure and flawless heart of Xinyu.
“Fang Yuan, although you have shown the power of the demon race, I don’t think that you are a demon, or that your ancestor is a demon.”
Huang Ying looked at Fang Yuan seriously.
“Of course I’m not,” Fang Yuan said, “My father is an archaeologist. He is dedicated to finding the truth of the birth of pet beasts, as well as finding a way for pet beasts to live peacefully with humans. How could he be a demon?”
Huang Ying stretched out a finger and flicked Fang Yuan’s head.
“It hurts!” Fang Yuan said coldly. “Teacher, what are you doing?”
“That action just now was a huge threat to the demon race,” Huang Ying said briefly.
Fang Yuan was in a terrible mood. If it were any other time, he would not mind joking with Huang Ying. However, at this point, he was not in the mood to continue messing with him.
“Fang Yuan, I have something to ask of you.” Huang Ying seemed to have thought about it for a long time before a determined expression appeared on his face.
“Teacher, what are you talking about? If you want your students to do something, just say it.” Fang Yuan thought to himself. All the teachers in this school had strange tempers, but Huang Ying was the only one that he could not figure out.
“I hope that you can use your power to bring those people who have been invaded by the energy back to normal and return to the human world.”
A gust of wind blew across the gra.s.s and rolled up a yellow wave of wheat.
“Can I do it?” Hearing Huang Ying’s words, Fang Yuan unconsciously looked at the trainer’s imprint on his hand.
At this moment, Ouyang Xinglan who was at the side also walked over.
Huang Ying looked at Ouyang Xinglan vigilantly, which made the latter defend, “What are you doing! It’s not like I definitely have to kill Fang Yuan.”
“Don’t worry, if he really wants to make a move, I will stop him.” Sima Kaile said and also descended from the sky.
Seeing their figures, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes.
“Why me?”
“Due to the power you have.” The last to walk out was the princ.i.p.al. He said, “After the demons are killed, they will leave behind a magic core, but the magic core will still carry their memories. The trainer who absorbed the magic core will have his consciousness taken away by the demons one day.”
“What?”
Hearing this, Fang Yuan could not help but shout out.
“There is a problem with our education approach. We have always thought that magic cores were harmless, so our trainers have been relying on fighting the demons and absorbing the magic cores to increase their mental power…”
“Until one day, my strongest disciple, Teacher Xia Hou of Huang group, absorbed too many magic cores, causing him to fall into a state of madness.”
After absorbing too many magic core, Xia Hou seemed to have lost his mind. He attacked everyone he saw and even muttered words that he would take down humans with bloodshed to cleanse their hatred and for revenge.
After listening to their description, Fang Yuan had a clear understanding of the demon race and Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Actually there were many hidden secrets in this secret realm that was seemed to be called a university.
“Fang Yuan, we’re going to teach you the strongest power in our academy right now, and then you’ll go challenge Heavenly Secret Pavilion!”
“Isn’t this school Heavenly Secret Pavilion?”
“No, our school, the main reason why this secret realm is called Heavenly Secret Pavilion, is because of this endless building. When you challenge the highest level, you’ll receive a legendary pet beast and equipment reward.”
“Only those who pa.s.s Heavenly Secret Pavilion will be able to break the curse of the demons.”
The princ.i.p.al’s expression was unusually solemn.
