Chapter 193: Unexpected Calamity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nine Heavens Academy, underground.
...In a huge room, 100 screens were neatly arranged on the wall. The situation in the 100 secret realms used in the advancement competition would be transmitted here in real time through the equipment set up in advance. In front of these 100 screens, there were also 100 uniformed staff members staring intently at the screens with pen and paper in their hands.
No one spoke. Other than the buzzing sound of the machine running, there was only the rustling sound of writing in the entire room.
Next door to this room, a middle-aged man with graying temples sat in front of the observation window. He looked like he was observing the staff next door, but his empty eyes showed that he was only in a daze.
Knock knock knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The middle-aged man came back to his senses and casually picked up the teacup at the side. “Come in.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an intellectual beauty in a professional dress and glasses pushed open the door and walked in. “Hello, Academy Head.”
“Xiao Shan?”
Seeing the person who came, the middle-aged man immediately revealed a benevolent smile. “There’s no one else here. Just call me Uncle Jiang.”
“Okav- Uncle Tiang-”
Xiao Shan nodded. As she spoke, she approached and handed the folder to the Jiang Academy Head with both hands. “Uncle Jiang, this is the first batch of information that has just been summarized. Please take a look.”
The Jiang family head waved his hand. “I won’t read it. Tell me the data directly. ”
. Okay.”
Xiao Shan nodded and opened the folder to the last page. “A total of 1,000 students will participate in this internal selection. In addition, the students are looking for a total of 2,377 outsiders.”
“Among them, 1,196 are professional lords, and 537 are students who were eliminated in the preliminaries. There are a total of 644 students from other academies.”
“There are more than 600 students from other academies?”
Academy Head Jiang revealed a surprised expression. “I thought it was already not bad to have 300… Looks like they didn’t go to the lord competition for nothing last time. Although they didn’t get a ranking, these children have made many friends ! ”
Xiao Shan sighed. “It is true they have many friends, but not many are worth studying. Among these 644 people, at least 600 are at the middle level of their respective academies.”
After a pause, Little Shan asked softly with a solemn tone, “Uncle Jiang, could it be that those academies noticed your plan and didn’t let their geniuses participate?”
“We can’t rule out that possibility.”
Academy Head Jiang thought for a moment and nodded, but he was not very disappointed. “However, this is reasonable. Under the pretext of ‘finding help’ , we tricked people from the other academies over and used this selection to study their strength and methods—”
At this point, Academy Head Jiang suddenly smiled. “This is not a brilliant plan to begin with. Those Academy Heads are all old foxes. It would be even more strange if no one noticed!”
Xiao Shan nodded noncommittally. Then, she suddenly thought of something and flipped to a certain page before handing it to Academy Head Jiang. “By the way, Uncle Jiang, look at this.”
“Wang Xiao? Fang Tianyu?”
Academy Head Jiang frowned. “These two children are Kai Yang’s treasures. It’s impossible for that old fox Kai Yang not to see through my plan. Why would he let them come?”
Xiao Shan pointed at the surveillance room next door. “They were invited by Li Kaifu. Through the surveillance cameras hidden in the academy, we learned that he originally invited Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo, but Zhou Xiruo had something on at the last minute, so Wang Xiao found Fang Tianyu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shan thought of something and added,
“By the way, Uncle Jiang, we don’t know Fang Tianyu’s situation yet, but Wang
Xiao and Zhou Xiruo seem to have already transferred to Yuheng.”
“Yuheng Academy? Huang Tingwei’s territory?”
Academy Head Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face became even more interesting. “Could it be that… those two old foxes are planning to beat us at our own game?”
Xiao Shan was puzzled. “Uncle Jiang, what do you mean?”
“Damn it! We’ve been tricked!”
Academy Head Jiang slapped the folder on the table. “We want to use this opportunity to study the geniuses of the other academies to prepare for the upcoming academy ranking assessment. ”
“Kaiyang and Yuheng saw through my plan, but they didn’t expose it. Instead, they took advantage of the situation and sent their treasures over. They’re most likely trying to test the strength of our Nine Heavens Academy!”
Xiao Shan revealed a shocked expression. “You mean… Zhou Xiruo didn’t have something at the last minute at all, but Kaiyang and Yuheng wanted to join forces to investigate, so they sent Fang Tianyu to replace Zhou Xiruo?” “Otherwise, how can you explain that Wang Xiao has already transferred schools, but he can still casually bring a Yang Opening Realm genius around? Moreover, at this critical time?”
Academy Head Jiang sneered and revealed a knowing expression. “These two old foxes… How dangerous! I was almost deceived by them!”
“That was really close!”
Xiao Shan looked relieved. She adjusted her glasses and asked seriously, “Then what should we do next? Disqualify them?”
“No, these two people were invited by Li Kaifu. If they’re disqualified, where do you want Li Kaifu to find help at the last minute?”
Academy Head Jiang waved his hand and refused without thinking. “Although Li Kaifu’s strength can only be considered average, our academy wouldn’t have gotten to where we are today without the help of the Li family. It’s better to help him if we can.” Xiao Shan nodded. “I understand. But what about these two ‘spies’?” “Let me think…
Academy Head Jiang tapped his temples and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he looked at Xiao Shan. “How strong are these two?”
“Fang Tianyu hasn’t attacked yet. I don’t know for the time being, but Wang Xiao has gotten even stronger since the lord competition.”
Xiao Shan reported without thinking, “In the first round of the advancement competition, other than the soldiers Wang Xiao used in the lord competition, he also used three new mutated beasts.”
“The first is a dragon-type mutated beast. However, because it has appeared for too short a time, the staff can’t identify it. They can only guess that it’s platinum quality.”
“The other two are the level one platinum [Blazing Golden Crow] and the level six platinum [Volcanic Melting Lizard].”
“Three platinums?”
Academy Head Jiang raised his eyebrows. “I remember that Wang Xiao also has a wolf-shaped mutated beast that’s also platinum quality, right?”
“Yes, it’s a level two platinum [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf].”
Academy Head Jiang thought for a moment. “Activate the special mutation plan. According to Wang Xiao’s performance this time, screen the restrained contestants again and eliminate them as soon as possible in the second round.
Remember to be discreet. Don’t let Li Kaifu notice that he’s being targeted.”
“In addition, activate the special mutation plan for Fang Tianyu as well. That old fox Kai Yang sent her over. If we don’t study her, it would feel like we’re wasting the opportunity.”
“Got it.’
Xiao Shan agreed and turned to leave.
Academy Head Jiang picked up the folder again and looked at Wang Xiao’s information, his eyes filled with envy.. “Four platinum-quality mutated beasts… This kid’s luck is really good!”
