Chapter 338: It Is Said That the Face of the Head Teacher Would Grow on the Back Window of the Classroom

Michelle was like a cheerful lark, chirping and singing nonstop, without a care in the world.

For the past few weeks, she recounted every single detail of what happened as if it had just occurred.

When she couldn’t wait to share various big and small matters with someone, the joyous feeling in her heart could be seen from afar.

Now she was also a celebrity in the Tulip Academy. Many people would greet her proactively, and the senior students noticed her radiant smile today, as if she was basking in the spring breeze.

"She smiled so sweetly, so adorable. Oh, I’m smitten."

"What good thing happened that made her smile so happily?"

"Yun Chuyou, the character of the story, was described to have won a match against someone named Yun Chuyou. Her friend commented on how happy and sweet her smile was, comparing it to the smile of the female lead in a popular drama called "The Love Mind Games of the Wizards." The friend expressed envy towards Yun Chuyou’s beautiful and joyful smile."

"Wait a minute, you mean… Are you really in love?"

"It shouldn’t be possible. She lives alone in the dormitory. Who would she be dating?"

"Yeah, Michelle doesn’t even have a computer. She hasn’t received emails more than a few times."

"Underground Party Love?"

"I am so curious, I’ll go ask myself."

"I don’t want to, what if I make her angry and she beats me up? A few days ago, her expression was just like my biological mom when she didn’t have her period."

The girls were discussing with laughter and giggles.

When someone becomes a campus celebrity, every move and action easily attracts intentional pursuit and attention from many people.

Of course, the change in mood was not the most important thing. What most ordinary students were curious about was still the sudden source of her counterattack strength.

Why did she suddenly become stronger?

Throughout Michelle’s rise, it all began with intense training over a month ago. She was previously known for being beaten up by the freshmen, but after that, she suddenly soared to new heights.

The mysterious Golden Engraving, a dragon blood secret technique that the Earth Dragon Clan has never mastered, along with a twisted arrow that distorts space, and the strength that made the Celestial Realm retreat.

A mysterious halo surrounded the girl, and countless people couldn’t help but approach, wanting to uncover her secrets.

Unbeknownst to Michelle, her personal dormitory had already become a forbidden area that the school was closely monitoring.

This is because Alena found seven different eavesdropping devices in her room. She immediately reported it to the school, resulting in some students receiving warnings and disciplinary action. The external individuals involved were sent to the Knight Order’s dungeon. In this way, her personal privacy was considered to have received basic protection.

This girl was carefree to a certain extent, without the psychological burden of being a celebrity. She still behaved in a predictable manner. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone noticed something unusual about her at any time. However, no one suspected that she was inhabited by a soul from ancient times.

In fact, before this, there had already been over ten rounds of reviews. Professors from the Department of Mind and the Department of Soul had secretly conducted several serious and surprise inspections on her. The results they obtained were – she was even healthier than I am.

No matter how much they searched, it was of no use. They could only assume that everything was fine. If not, what else could they do? Lock her up for a whole semester and observe?

Bai Wei hadn’t been online during this time, which happened to help him avoid suspicion. However, even if the Holy Domain came to inspect, he wasn’t worried about being discovered.

…

"So, you accepted the invitation from the Earth Dragon clan?"

"Yes, the vice principal and principal both said it’s acceptable, and they don’t seem to have any ill intentions."

Bai Wei didn’t express an opinion, simply because he didn’t know much about the Earth Dragon clan.

The belief in ancient dragons existed long ago, but it was largely wiped out during the Age of Empires. This happened because the Golden Clan enjoyed hunting dragon species, creating a hostile relationship between the two sides.

After Liliana took office, the Earth Dragon clan revived the belief in ancient dragons and established a sect with her as the main pillar. There’s nothing strange about it.

Just like the ship girls, who would form small groups among themselves and establish a cult dedicated to their commander, it was not at all surprising.

The belief in this world is like a symbiotic relationship, or perhaps, even a parasitic relationship.

The sect that believed in ancient dragons and the development of Earth Dragons clearly happened within the past five hundred years. Bai Wei naturally couldn’t understand it, but he didn’t really care. One thing was certain: gold was the dragons’ mortal enemy. Those with a golden bloodline hunted down dragon species, even the ancient dragons themselves became hunted prey. Liliana could defeat him, not because she was an ancient dragon, but because she possessed the spiral fragment, making her a higher-ranking heroic spirit.

The Ancient Dragon Sect had misunderstood this point. If one were to blindly worship the power of ancient dragons, it could only be described as foolishness.

The typical strength of ancient dragons may not necessarily surpass that of some Dragon King species in the magical realm. Only the King of Ancient Dragons could contend against the Ancient Gods, Old Gods, and the Supreme Will.

However, Bai Wei had never witnessed the Primordial War.

"Sure, it’s a good thing that Liliana can go," Bai Wei expressed his agreement.

"The specific details of the ceremony for becoming a sanctified knight were not disclosed to me by the other party. They only mentioned that if I managed to enter the top ten of the Swordflower League tournament, I would be eligible to undergo this ritual and take on the role of an ancient dragon priestess."

Bai Wei imagined for a moment the scene of a Dragonborn wielding golden thunder. It was something he had never seen before. When the Dragonborn put on the golden armor, it seemed to compensate for the greatest weakness of the ancient dragons, the Tellden magic circle. Bai Wei felt impressed and said, "I think it’s pretty cool."

"That settles it," Michelle clenched her fist to motivate herself. "The next stage is to join the Swordflower League!" After saying that, she relaxed and added, "But that’s not until next April. We still have nearly half a year to go."

"This is a minor matter, so you can decide for yourself," Bai Wei said.

"As a partner, should I inform Mr. Devil in advance, since I still need your help," Michelle said proactively. But after speaking, she realized that she sounded like she was trying to gain an advantage, too calculating. She quickly changed her tune and said, "I will also work hard for the priority on my own."

Bai Wei said, "If you want to further improve, you can only take one step at a time. I prioritize practical experience and may not cover all aspects. Theoretical knowledge needs to be gradually supplemented."

The path of a wizard has its limits, as mystique is finite, either three legends or a semi-god.

There’s no need to persist in this aspect to the end. For most wizards, the lifelong goal is to reach the Holy Domain level. Once they reach the Holy Domain, they seek another path.

The difficulty of becoming a legendary wizard was too high. Bai Wei himself couldn’t even confidently say that he would be able to return to legend, and it was also impossible for him to spend so much time on it.

Bai Wei said, "Now you are no longer just a conventional wizard. Master the Golden Engraving that I taught you, continue to refine your Dragon Blood combat skills, and then start preparing to explore different domains, broaden your knowledge, and prepare for the breakthrough into the Holy Domain."

Michelle propped up her chin and whispered, "Holy Domain level…"

She used to think that it was too far away, she even found it very difficult to construct a basic spell. These days, her studies have been a bit confusing and unfocused. Although she can already access information about spatial and soul magic, she doesn’t understand these concepts at all.

Trying to force-feed oneself with book knowledge won’t work when it comes to magic. The essence of spells lies in their application. The Spatial field is considered relatively easier to grasp, while the Soul field requires a certain level of enlightenment. As one reaches their middle age, their soul power enters a period of peak growth, and their perception of soul power may progress by leaps and bounds. That’s why most Holy Domain practitioners are concentrated in their thirties and forties. It’s difficult to achieve a breakthrough either too early or too late.

Bai Wei saw her with no enthusiasm and said, "You need to break through the Holy Domain by next April or before that."

Michelle almost bumped her chin on the table and asked, "Is this too difficult?"

"Of course it’s difficult, not to mention your progress in this area, which is slower than a non-member’s Poison Disk, it’s simply adding more difficulty on top of difficulty."

Michelle held her head and cried, "Waah… Please stop scolding, I feel so dumb."

"But people are forced out… If you don’t force yourself a little, you won’t know yourself…"

"Is she a hardworking genius?" asked Michelle.

"Is there no hope for her?" Bai Wei continued to discourage.

Michelle puffed up her cheeks, then quickly let out a sigh.

Bai Wei felt both amused and frustrated. Michelle’s lying and laziness hadn’t changed much on the surface. While she appeared to be striving, deep down she lacked the motivation to push herself further.

"I’ll give you two reasons," Bai Wei said. "First, breaking through the Holy Domain, the Swordflower League is almost guaranteed to succeed…"

Michelle, being naturally knowledgeable, was aware that breaking through the Holy Domain level among peers was equivalent to being invincible.

"Secondly, once you break through the Holy Domain and face many powerful enemies, you can protect yourself. At that time, you can go to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to find Chao Lu, and I won’t stop you."

Michelle, "!!"

Bai Wei asked, "How are you?"

Michelle sat upright and said with a serious expression, "I’m about to start studying! Please don’t disturb me while I’m studying!"

Bai Wei, "…"

The two of them stopped talking, and Bai Wei suddenly noticed the sound of breathing coming from outside the quiet library room. He had been standing by the window all along, but now he turned halfway and noticed that there seemed to be someone outside the door. Moreover, Michelle’s voice hadn’t been intentionally lowered too much just now. If someone was intentionally eavesdropping.

Bai Wei gave her a gentle reminder, "There’s someone outside the door."

Michelle stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

Outside the door, the listener didn’t move aside, but instead paused briefly before pushing open the door and entering the quiet library room.

Several bookshelves away, she looked at Michelle. The Blood Noble asked calmly, her voice sending shivers down one’s spine.

"Who were you just talking to?"
