五月丁香五月丁香激情

Feeling frustrated but unable to ignore the situation, Lu Mingrong couldn\'t help but look over.

"What do we do? Get these students to leave and cover this up as quickly as possible..."

Yu Longqing waved his hand, displaying the decisiveness and capability of a city lord. "I\'ll handle Zhang Xuan and get him to take it easy. You deal with the teachers and make sure they all keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to leak any information will be thrown into the dungeon!"

Lu Mingrong nodded.

What Yu Longqing said was true. Most of the students and attendants had their eyes closed, focusing on sensing the Heaven\'s Fate Energy, and hadn\'t noticed the anomaly with the Nine Dragon Pillars and the vortex. If they could control the teachers who saw it and keep them from talking, the secret could still be kept.

"Vice Principal Wu, gather all the teachers and elders immediately!"

Lu Mingrong ordered in a low voice.

"Yes, sir!" Wu Yunzhou quickly turned and went to gather the others.

Yu Longqing, meanwhile, flickered a few times and appeared in front of Zhang Xuan. Seeing the tornado of Heaven\'s Fate Energy spinning above his head, he couldn\'t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. He tapped Zhang Xuan on the shoulder.

"Zhang Xuan, my friend..."

"Hmm?"

Zhang Xuan, who was absorbing the Heaven\'s Fate Energy, was surprised to be interrupted. He quickly stopped absorbing and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing who it was, he immediately showed respect. "City Lord, why are you here? Would you like to absorb some too? I\'ll make room for you..."

He moved over a bit as he spoke.

"No need..."

With a twitching face, Yu Longqing couldn\'t help but ask, "Are you absorbing Heaven\'s Fate Energy?"

"I\'m just casually absorbing for fun, to see if I can strengthen my body. I\'m sorry to have embarrassed myself in front of you..."

Zhang Xuan looked a bit embarrassed.

Although the Library of Heaven\'s Path and Xuan World were absorbing Heaven\'s Fate Energy simultaneously, making the speed much faster than one alone, he figured that among so many people absorbing at the same time, his actions shouldn\'t be too noticeable...

Hmm, as long as I don\'t admit it, they shouldn\'t find anything wrong!

"Absorbing... for fun?"

Seeing his shy and somewhat dazed expression, Yu Longqing nearly choked on his own saliva.

If this is you absorbing for fun... what does that make everyone else?

Not even worthy of playing around?

"I only learned how to find the Source Pool yesterday, so I don\'t really know how to cultivate. I\'m just here to make up the numbers. I must thank you, City Lord, for speaking on my behalf and getting me into the academy. Otherwise, I\'d still be wandering outside the gate..."

Zhang Xuan expressed his gratitude and then looked around, seeing the Heaven\'s Fate Energy still present. Afraid of missing the opportunity, he hesitated and then asked tentatively, "If the City Lord isn\'t absorbing, then I\'ll continue. Even though my talent isn\'t great and I started late, I still want to become a Source Warrior..."

"..."

Yu Longqing clutched his chest.

‘Is this guy even speaking human language?’

He had absorbed 22 streams of Heaven\'s Fate Energy, opening a Fifth Grade Source Pool, and was hailed as the number one genius in White Roc City. Yet Zhang Xuan, who had absorbed over ten thousand streams, was saying his talent wasn\'t great?

‘Is he mocking me?’

Feeling deeply frustrated, Yu Longqing was about to explain the situation when he saw Zhang Xuan sit down again and close his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan\'s face was slightly flushed, as if he was trying hard to find Heaven\'s Fate Energy but couldn\'t, looking extremely unwilling, just like everyone else around him...

"???"

Yu Longqing felt a sharp pain in his chest.

‘Could he act more fake?’

‘Looking at him like this, should I acknowledge his abilities or pretend I don\'t know?’

Feeling utterly helpless, Yu Longqing didn\'t know what to do when he saw the young man, still pretending, carefully open one eye and glance at him.

Seeing that he hadn\'t left, he quickly closed his eye again and resumed his effort, looking determined not to give up until he found something.

"..."

Yu Longqing held his forehead.

‘Forget it, better leave before I get more frustrated.’

‘Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped.’

"Wait... It seems he doesn\'t realize the commotion he\'s caused. In other words, he doesn\'t know he\'s been exposed. So if I treat him kindly now, it would be like helping him in his time of need."

This guy is great at everything, except he\'s too low-key... ‘If that\'s the case, I can use this to my advantage.’

‘Since he doesn\'t know he\'s been exposed, I\'ll pretend not to know either and treat him well, so he\'ll be grateful to me.’

‘A favor in times of hardship is far more valuable than embellishments in times of success.’

Understanding this, Yu Longqing got excited. He coughed, steadied his emotions, and lowered his voice, "Take your time to cultivate. I\'ll be over there waiting for you. After the assessment, I have something to discuss with you..."

"Alright!"

Not knowing what the City Lord wanted to discuss, but happy to receive an olive branch, Zhang Xuan quickly nodded. Once Yu Longqing left, he sighed in relief and carefully resumed absorbing Heaven\'s Fate Energy.

This time, he didn\'t dare be as reckless as before, but with the Library of Heaven\'s Path and Xuan World absorbing simultaneously, the speed was still impressive.

The numbers on the Nine Dragon Pillars quickly started jumping again... making Yu Longqing feel a mix of fear and admiration.

At this moment, he finally understood why Lu Mingrong was so desperate to find this person, even seeking his help.

This was beyond extraordinary!

Could it be that the Destiny Disk was blown up by him yesterday?

If so, he absorbed at least over ten thousand streams yesterday, another two thousand at the City Lord\'s Mansion last night, and now over ten thousand again...

One Source Pool assessment, one person used over twenty thousand streams of Heaven\'s Fate Energy. What level was this?

‘Even a Saint Grade isn\'t this terrifying!’

His face changed colors in shock—white, red, yellow, pink—unsure what he was thinking or what had scared him. Meanwhile, Wu Yunzhou had gathered all the teachers.

Lu Mingrong stood before the group, his voice low but resonating clearly in everyone\'s ears.

"Today\'s events must remain confidential. Not a word should be leaked. If I find out someone has spoken, I will personally ensure they are completely crippled."

The teachers were stunned. One of them couldn\'t help but ask, "Dean, why?"

"This is for your protection! In a small place like ours, having a genius this strong could bring unimaginable trouble if the news gets out. You should understand this better than I do!"

Lu Mingrong\'s cold snort was followed by an immense pressure spreading over everyone.

Feeling the naked killing intent from him, knowing he would indeed take action if they leaked anything, all the teachers\' faces turned serious, and they nodded in unison.

"Yes!"

Compared to gossip, their lives seemed more important...

Seeing everyone agree, Lu Mingrong nodded in satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to give further instructions, the teacher who had spoken earlier spoke up again, trembling.

"Um..."

"What is it?" Lu Mingrong frowned.

The teacher stammered, "We can keep quiet, but... with his current situation, it might be a bit difficult to hide..."

He pointed as he spoke.

Lu Mingrong looked over and saw that another vortex of Heaven\'s Fate Energy had formed above Zhang Xuan\'s head.

As the absorption speed increased, a cracking sound was heard. The newly replaced Destiny Disk made a crisp noise and started to crack again.
