Chapter 82

As dusk approached, the rain finally stopped.

The dormitory area of the senior class was unusually quiet.

The students who had just returned from the senior class were still not recovered from the bloody terror, each hiding in their own dormitory.

For them, this forest training would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Dong Fangxiuzhe sat cross-legged on his bed, and before meditating, he glanced at the bed opposite. At this moment, Wang Junqi was sleeping peacefully.

"This little girl, she's sleeping so soundly now!"

Although he muttered such words, there was a smile of relief on his face.

Dong Fangxiuzhe was very grateful that he had used the "fighting poison with poison" method at that time; otherwise, even if Wang Junqi could have survived, she would certainly have become a mad fool.

The so-called "fighting poison with poison" method involved using the power of the Yin-Yang Eyes to intimidate with fear, thus helping Wang Junqi break out of her self-imposed isolation.

Although this method ultimately succeeded, it was also a risky gamble.

If the intimidation power of the Yin-Yang Eyes had been less than the fear in Wang Junqi's heart, it would not only have failed to cure her but would have made things worse.

Exhaling a deep breath, Dong Fangxiuzhe came out of his meditation. Not only had his injuries healed completely, but his true essence seemed to be purer than before.

Most importantly, his eyes were showing signs of movement, indicating that the Yin-Yang Eyes were about to upgrade.

A slight smile appeared on his face, and Dong Fangxiuzhe felt a wave of joy.

For other children, this forest training was undoubtedly a disaster, and it might leave a lifelong shadow in their hearts.

However, for Dong Fangxiuzhe, it was a bountiful harvest. Not only did he obtain a new storage ring, but his cultivation also improved, and his Yin-Yang Eyes showed signs of a breakthrough.

If there was an opportunity, Dong Fangxiuzhe would very much like to eliminate a few more scoundrels like the "Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts."

In the principal's office, many people had gathered, and the atmosphere was particularly oppressive.

Several senior class teachers, with sad expressions, bowed their heads and listened to Teacher Liu Hong recount the forest training experience.

Dozens of mercenaries stood silently in the corner, their eyes fixed on Liu Hong.

"… That's all!"

After nearly an hour of narration, Liu Hong recounted what she knew, but she omitted the part about Dong Fangxiuzhe.

Meng Laikai remained silent for a long time after listening to Liu Hong's account. His already aged face was now even more wrinkled.

For the "Grassroots启蒙 School," the death of so many students was a major event, and Meng Laikai's mood was extremely heavy.

"Are there any other teachers who have anything to add?"

His gaze shifted to the other teachers, and Meng Laikai asked in a hoarse voice.

The other teachers all shook their heads; among them, only Liu Hong knew the most.

After a brief silence, Meng Laikai spoke again: "Teachers, you can go rest now. I will handle the rest."

After Liu Hong and the other teachers left, Meng Laikai stood up from his seat and walked to Yu Hai, asking, "Have you found the murderer?"

The old eyes, which were usually cloudy, now emitted a chilling light.

Yu Hai dared not meet his gaze; the events of the day had been enough to make him feel terrified.

"Not found." He paused for a moment, then hesitated, "But…"

"But what?"

"We found a withered severed hand at the scene. If I'm not mistaken, it belongs to one of the 'Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts.' And based on the situation at the scene, the 'Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts' were likely killed by someone." Yu Hai shared his speculation.

"Killed by someone? Could it be Teacher Liu Hong?" Meng Laikai frowned.

"It's unlikely to be Teacher Liu Hong!"

Yu Hai was very certain. In his mind, he already had a suspect: that little demon, Dong Fangxiuzhe.

When the mercenaries searched the scene, they found not only a severed hand but also some clothing fragments with bits of flesh, which they deduced to be the remains of the "Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts."

"Not Teacher Liu Hong, could it be the 'Wangchao' lady mentioned by Teacher Liu Hong?" Meng Laikai muttered, not noticing the change in Yu Hai's expression.

Yu Hai did not intend to reveal what he knew about Dong Fangxiuzhe, not because he didn't want to, but because he was afraid.

Speaking out of turn might anger that ruthless little demon, and whether he would be lucky enough to survive would be uncertain.

"Principal, I have a question…"

Yu Hai opened his mouth several times but was hesitant about whether to ask.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Principal, that child named Dong Fangxiuzhe, who… who exactly is he?"

Gathering his courage, Yu Hai finally asked.

He was really curious; how could such a powerful and abnormal child be content to study here?

"He is the son of General Dong Long. Is there a problem with that?"

"No… no problem." Yu Hai forced a smile, "I just find him different and a bit curious, hehe~"

Ren Tianxing sat on a hillside, chewing on a blade of grass that had just been washed clean by the rain, and gazed up at the stars in the sky.

The sky had not yet turned completely dark.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Tianxing stretched lazily, spat out the grass, and with a flick of his wrist, took out three talismans from his storage ring.

These were the talismans that Dong Fangxiuzhe had given him at the "Drunken Fragrance Guesthouse." Although he had always doubted their effectiveness, he had kept them because they were from that little demon.

"Are they really as miraculous as he said?"

He examined the three talismans in his hand, becoming more and more skeptical.

"This is just ordinary paper with some random ink marks. How can it be so powerful? Is he just playing with me?"

Thinking of the little demon possibly laughing somewhere, Ren Tianxing became even more doubtful about the talismans.

"He said I would have bad luck soon. I think he's just lying. Several days have passed, and nothing has happened. Where's the bad luck?"

He laughed to himself, feeling annoyed that he had been so scared by this nonsense that he hadn't dared to go out for days.

Standing up, he prepared to throw away the talismans in his hand, but his hand paused in mid-air.

"Since I'm going to throw them away anyway, why not try one?"

This thought made Ren Tianxing eager to try.

His eyes darted between the three talismans with different effects, finally settling on a "Invisibility Talisman."
