Chapter 290: Chapter 225: Jasha Island! A new Alien Battlefield?
“Zifeng!”
Xu Duoyi was shouting, when she suddenly noticed that the scene before her had drastically changed.
The chaotic battlefield and the solitary little silver-armored soldier fighting bravely had vanished, replaced by a grand auditorium.
Rows upon rows of stone seats spiraled away into the distance, and she found herself standing at the very center of the amphitheater.
Behind her was a secret realm entrance, emitting a faint light.
Many students turned in surprise to look at her.
“Duoyi, you’re out too!”
“You’re a seven-star professionist, yet you only lasted a week this time?”
“Ah, that makes me feel better…”
There was a low murmur of conversation among the students. Xu Duoyi hurriedly lowered her head, her face red. She felt relieved that nobody nearby heard what she had just been shouting.
“Duoyi, what were you shouting just now?”
Zhang Jiajia walked over and asked curiously: “It sounded like you were calling for someone named Zifeng? Have you got a boyfriend?”
A few other girls gathered around: “Yeah, yeah, I heard it too.”
“There’s no one in our class named Zifeng.”
“The only boys in our class are Zheng Cheng, Zhuo Wen, and Zhuo Wu. Hey, why haven’t they come out yet?”
“No one from other classes either.”
“Yeah, all three boys from our class are still in the secret realm. Could it be that they haven’t failed yet?!”
Xu Duoyi’s face flushed as she quickly made up an excuse: “Who said I’m in love? I was calling for my hero!”
“What? A hero!”
“Xu Duoyi has recruited a hero!”
“Wow! What a counter-heavenly luck!”
The whole auditorium instantly became lively. Almost all the freshmen failed in the secret realm on the seventh day, so hundreds of supportive professionists quickly gathered around.
“Duoyi! Can you tell us about the hero you recruited?”
“A warrior? Strategist? Or a mage?”
“It must be a warrior! There are most warriors amongst the heroes in the secret realm!”
“I think so too…”
Just as Xu Duoyi was about to say something, the crowd suddenly parted, and several figures walked over.
“It’s our advisor!”
“The advisor is here!”
“And a few other teachers…”
“The school officials…”
Sun Wanqing was the first to speak: “Alright, students. This time, a beast tide suddenly erupted in the secret realm, causing all of you to fail this test in the secret realm. Go rest now!”
“You all performed well during these seven days. After two days of rest, the school will re-evaluate your performance and set up a more reasonable instructional plan…”
Under Sun Wanqing’s summons, the students in the auditorium gradually dispersed, leaving only a few who kept casting glances at the stage.
Sun Wanqing led Xu Duoyi to a corner of the meeting place and said seriously, “Duoyi, this is our Dean Tian of the support college. When he asks you something, answer him completely, understood?”
Xu Duoyi looked at the chubby Dean Tian behind Sun Wanqing and nodded, “Alright, teacher Wanqing.”
Dean Tian smiled and said, “Xu Duoyi, right? Don’t be nervous. I just want to know what exactly happened in the secret realm.”
Xu Duoyi’s face paled as if she remembered something terrifying. She quickly said, “Beast tide! It was a beast tide!”
The teachers glanced at each other and nodded slightly.
Dean Tian continued, “Can you tell us the specifics?”
“Okay…”
Xu Duoyi thought for a moment, then said, “My hero and I were dealing with the third wave of alien beasts, Brilliant Spiders and Giant Blood-sucking Mosquitoes. We were planning to rest when suddenly, a horde of four-star Red Centipedes and Hydra rushed out from the black fog.”
“My hero and his soldiers fought valiantly in this bloodbath, but they couldn’t hold off the assault of so many alien beasts.”
“In the end, my hero returned to his world at the brink of death, and my homeworld crystal was destroyed…”
Listening to Xu Duoyi’s account, the officials nodded and fell into thought.
Sun Wanqing then asked, “A hero? What type of hero? How was he recruited?”
Xu Duoyi said, “I fortuitously recruited him when I was recruiting two-star troops. He’s a six-star general; his name is Zhao Zifeng…”
Dean Tian suddenly asked, “Xu Duoyi, did you notice anything unusual among those alien beasts during the beast tide?”
“Unusual?”
Xu Duoyi thought carefully and then said, “It doesn’t seem so… No!”
Her eyes suddenly brightened, “There… there was a five-star alien beast!”
“What? A five-star alien beast?”
“Yes!”
Xu Duoyi nodded vigorously, “My hero was seriously injured by a sudden attack from a Gale Mantis…”
“And at that time, the ground seemed to be shaking as if a gigantic creature was moving underground.”
“A Tank Earth Dragon!”
A teacher instinctively announced causing everyone’s face turn grave.
Sun Wanqing pulled Xu Duoyi aside and said, “Duoyi, you must be tired after such a battle, too. Let’s go, I’ll take you to rest.”
“Okay… teacher.” Xu Duoyi obediently turned away to leave, whispering, “Teacher Wanqing, what happened exactly?”
“Today is your seventh day in the secret realm. Suddenly a large number of students got kicked out from the secret realm, their homelands destroyed. The information we received was that there was a surge of beasts in the secret realm!”
Sun Wanqing explained, “Over 90% of the students from the support and special Departments have failed!”
