109: You good-for-nothing, wake up!

"Classmate Shen Pan, you've worked hard this time.

If no one had intercepted it just now, at least hundreds would have died."

"In that case, it would have had a huge impact on the opening ceremony in a few days!"

Vice Dean Yu, who was forced to work overtime, had a face full of lingering fear.

He was truly fed up.

In the past, the Imperial Capital Academy might not have an incident even once a year.

Why had there been so much trouble lately?

The worst part was that the other two Vice Deans didn't happen to be on duty this month!

When problems arose, he had to take the fall all by himself.

"Sigh, just bad luck."

Unable to figure it out, he could only attribute the problems to the fact that the third Transcendence Awakening had just begun.

Blue Star hadn't completely stabilized yet; things would get better after a while.

Besides, next month, it wouldn't be his responsibility anymore!

At that time, he could peacefully enter seclusion and aim for a Breakthrough to Martial Saint!

"It was nothing; I just happened to be there.

Even without me, the seniors from the battle groups would have found a way to block that self-detonation."

Shen Pan wore a warm, gentle smile that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Combined with his optimized and enhanced looks and temperament, he managed to stun everyone present for a second.

Some senior sisters stared blankly, their gazes practically trailing after Shen Pan like sticky threads.

Some even made the sound of swallowing their saliva!

"Hmm?"

Ruan Qingshu's eyebrows twitched, sensing that something was wrong.

She didn't have that bad habit of eavesdropping at the door and feeling guilty yet excited at the same time.

Since Shen Pan was so outstanding, staying at school was still too dangerous.

Even she herself could hardly restrain herself, let alone ordinary people.

Ruan Qingshu decided that after school started, she would have her father pull some strings.

She wanted to get herself and Shen Pan the privilege of not having to attend classes or exams!

As for Ruolai... Ruan Qingshu hesitated for a moment but decided to bring Ruolai along too.

Looking across the entire Blue Star, there weren't many perfect best friends like her left!

...Due to the serious terrorist attack, the Imperial Capital Academy temporarily suspended the current activity.

They began a strict, campus-wide screening process.

After receiving the reward of three hundred academic credits from the school,

Shen Pan and Ruan Qingshu no longer had the mood to continue their date.

"The channel Jiang You mentioned earlier probably involves a wide scope, since it concerns the smuggling of Otherworld captives.

I've already sent people to arrest the members of his studio."

As they walked out of the campus, Ruan Qingshu suddenly spoke.

"That fast?"

Shen Pan was somewhat surprised, but he didn't care about the rest.

As long as something existed, it would inevitably leave a trail!

If Jiang You, a small fry who wasn't even Rank Seven, could participate in that channel,

it clearly wasn't much, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.

The Special Affairs Bureau would sniff it out and charge in themselves!

"By the way, Shen Pan."

Ruan Qingshu stopped in her tracks, trying her best to let the corners of her mouth curl up:

"Have you thought about how to explain things to Ruolai?"

???

Shen Pan looked at her in confusion. It wasn't like he was the one who signed that best friend contract, so why would he... Oh no!

That Jiang You seemed to be the person Ruolai hated the most.

She had complained to him many times that once she became stronger in the future, she would definitely cripple her idiot cousin.

She wanted him to end up like Lin Fei: turning a 7 into a 1 and reducing an 8 to a 3!

Now that he had killed Jiang You ahead of time, would Ruolai throw a tantrum?

Probably not to that extent.

But she would definitely be unhappy and stare at him with resentful eyes for an hour!

Having finally found an opportunity to win a round, Ruan Qingshu took out her phone and began to record:

"June 15th, went on a date and participated in an activity with Shen Pan. A small victory."

Shen Pan: "..."

Whatever makes you happy!

At that moment, a reply from a certain Sword Immortal's alt account finally popped up.

[Big Sister I Was Truly Wrong!: Thanks, Junior. I didn't expect these guys to launch their counterattack half a year earlier than the future I saw!]

[Big Sister I Was Truly Wrong!: I've already applied to my Main Body and released the Seal. I'm going to find those Otherworld stowaways right now!]

Launching a counterattack half a year early?

Shen Pan looked at that mission again, which required him to survive the first Otherworld invasion.

In other words, when this mission was refreshed earlier, it corresponded to this counterattack from the Desolate God Realm.

It wasn't that Lord of the Abyss?

After all, the third Transcendence Awakening had only just begun.

According to what Barn provided, currently only Epic Rank powerholders were allowed to smuggle themselves into Blue Star using springboards.

A Legendary Rank Archduke of Demons shouldn't be able to interfere with Blue Star yet!

[Nir Doronma: That's good. By the way, Senior Sister Xia.]

[Nir Doronma: If the Otherworlders this time are related to evil, darkness, Chaos, or negative energy...]

[Nir Doronma: Could you leave the small mobs below Rank Nine for me to farm experience?]

[Big Sister I Was Truly Wrong!: Small matter! I'll go have a heart-to-heart talk with our Otherworld friends right now!]

Tucking his phone away with satisfaction, Shen Pan was very much looking forward to what was coming next.

With [White Tiger Guardian Soldier], he would have an extra experience boost when killing these monsters!

"Whether I can reach Rank Six before school starts depends on this wave!"

...The Ruan Family.

Inside a dim room with the curtains tightly drawn.

[While you're still fast asleep, your crystal is about to be eaten by someone else.]

The humanoid creature under the quilt moved.

"Mmm—so noisy~"

"Can't a person sleep in the morning?"

After the humanoid creature finished speaking, there was no more movement.

Only a faint, extremely subtle snoring remained.

[All the progress you accumulated before has gone to someone else. You really are Great Xia's best friend.]

Did she buy an alarm clock?

Did Qingshu come to wake her up?

"Mmm... Qing~shu—I want to eat meat~"

Jiang Ruolai, still somewhat drowsy, half-opened her eyes and stretched out a smooth, flawless, snow-white wrist.

She wanted to pat the non-existent alarm clock.

[You useless thing, stop sleeping!]
