Chapter 1148 There must be someone else behind this.
Outside the principal's office window, the moonlight seemed to be distorted by an invisible force.
Two deep, almost completely transparent shadows silently coalesced and took shape, their outlines gradually forming a human form.
Their existence exists between reality and illusion, like ghosts blending into the night, almost imperceptible unless one possesses extremely strong perception.
Both were clad in wide, hooded robes, somewhat similar in style to the robes of the Five Elements Gods, but entirely black, as if they could absorb all the light around them. On the back of the robes, a black cross-shaped mark exuding an ominous aura was faintly visible.
Two faces could barely be seen in the shadow of the hood.
An old man with a weathered face and deep wrinkles, yet sharp eyes like a hawk.
The other one, who appeared to be balding, was a middle-aged man.
"Senior, why did you bring me here?"
The middle-aged man turned to look at the old man beside him with some confusion. He didn't speak, but instead used pure mental power to transmit information to the old man, his voice echoing on the consciousness level, communicating with him: "Shouldn't we go to the place where the legendary ancient forbidden power appeared to investigate?"
The old man's pair of piercing eyes stared at Lan Mi inside the room, his mouth remaining still and his face expressionless: "Where are you referring to?"
Middle-aged man: "It's that evil Netherworld city-state that was bombed into a basin, the Netherworld City."
"Hmph, are you stupid? The Underworld City was bombed into a basin, it didn't just suddenly explode like that. What can we possibly find there?"
The old man cast a disgusted look at him, as if to say, "You idiot!"
Middle-aged man: "......"
The old man continued, "Some time ago, Gao Shenxue of the human race test-fired a long-range missile, which blasted a large basin into a wasteland in the western continent."
"It is said that the site of the explosion is almost identical to the destroyed city of the underworld."
"Before the city of the underworld was destroyed, the ancient ferocious beasts and chaotic spirits of the dead appeared in the capital and then suddenly disappeared."
"Not long after the chaos disappeared, the Underworld City was blown up... I think this is definitely not a coincidence."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the power that blew up the Netherworld City of the Evil Nether Clan should also be related to this Gao Shenxue."
The old man spoke solemnly.
“Uh…” The middle-aged man was even more confused: “Then… shouldn’t we go directly to Gao Shenxue and investigate her? Why are we spying here?”
"..." The old man paused for a moment, then turned to look at him again, his impatient gaze filled with contempt for the other's intelligence: "Idiot! Use your idiotic brain to think!"
"Forbidden power! That's ancient forbidden power!"
"In the history of Blue Star, only the Creator God and the Three Primordial Beasts have been able to truly control this power! Gao Shenxue's extraordinary level is only at the first stage of the Soul Emperor Realm, how could she possibly control that ancient forbidden power!?"
"Even if she finds an ancient inheritance by some chance, at her level, she would absolutely have to pay the price of her life to control it!"
"But she's still alive and well! Do you really think a weak human girl with such a low level of supernatural power could possibly master this kind of power on her own?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, listening in a daze.
But it seems to make some sense...
The main thing is that the old man had a very imposing presence, and he seemed to have a lot of sense.
"So...so what do you mean?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Clearly, Gao Shenxue is just someone who's been pushed onto the surface." The old man narrowed his eyes, staring at Lan Mi inside the room: "There must be someone else behind her!"
The middle-aged man seemed lost in thought, his gaze also turning to Lan Mi inside the room: "The person you're talking about, could it be...?"
"I've investigated. This woman named Lan Mi is Gao Shenxue and Ye Ge's teacher, and also the principal of the Human Race War Academy," the old man said. "Her background is extremely mysterious, and her true strength is unfathomable. It's said that she has never been defeated. In fact, very few people have even seen her fight."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment.
"You believe... that she's the one behind Takashima Yuki?"
"Yes."
"But, but I remember... Lan Mi, the principal of the Human Race War Academy, is only at the peak of the Heavenly Revelation Realm, right?"
"Idiot! That's just paper strength! Beings above the demigod realm can hide their true strength!" The old man cursed him again, as if he really thought he was incredibly stupid: "Think about it yourself, even now, Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue's strength has surpassed hers, yet they still call her 'teacher' and still frequently come to her to cultivate and ask questions—can't you see the problem?"
"So...you mean...she's not an ordinary human principal of an extraordinary academy?" The middle-aged man pondered. "Then what do you think her identity is?"
The old man narrowed his eyes: "Have you forgotten? The Goddess of Radiance, Yun Qing, fled to the lower realm and betrayed the Alliance of Rebellious Gods. She has been missing ever since, with no news of her whereabouts!"
The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "You mean... she's the Goddess of Light...?!"
"Hmph." The old man sneered, his face full of confidence: "I think it's exactly as I predicted!"
......
Principal's room.
Lan Mi looked at the three women in front of her who were meditating with their eyes closed.
Meanwhile, he would occasionally glance leisurely out the window.
'How long are these two going to keep spying on us...?'
Just then, beneath Mu Jiannan's tightly closed eyelids, her eyes shifted slightly. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed abruptly, as if she were enduring a tremendous shock.
A vast, powerful, and incomparably sharp azure soul energy, like a volcano suppressed for thousands of years, suddenly erupted from her body!
“Buzz——!!!”
A dazzling, azure beam of light shattered the silence of the room, forcefully piercing through the roof and soaring into the sky! Within the beam, countless tiny azure sword shadows seemed to swirl and hum, their sharp sword intent surging straight to the heavens!
In an instant, the sky above the War Academy changed color! The immense pressure of the Soul Emperor spread out like tangible ripples, forming a huge, slowly rotating vortex of azure sword energy in the night sky, with the sound of sword cries faintly echoing in all directions! This was an unparalleled sign that a transcendent being had broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, causing the heavens and earth to resonate!
Lan Mi smiled slightly, revealing a relieved expression.
It seems the fusion of souls has gone quite well...
"!" The old man outside was somewhat surprised when he saw this scene: "This little girl was clearly only a beginner Saint Realm transcendent being just now, and in such a short time... she actually... actually crossed the insurmountable barrier and broke into the Soul Emperor Realm?!"
How can this be? ?
To leapfrog an entire major stage in one go—even with divine power bestowed by a god, it couldn't be this fast!?
What exactly did Lan Mi do to them just now?
The middle-aged man then said, "Senior, look at the other two! They seem to be... too!"
Old man: "What???"
It was observed that the fused divine souls of An Lingyue and Ao Xin were now reacting.
An Lingyue's body suddenly erupted with blazing, crimson soul flames, as if she had transformed into a volcano about to erupt.
Ao Xin unleashed a majestic and vast golden dragon's might, with faint dragon roars echoing around him!
Immediately afterwards——
"boom!!!"
A crimson pillar of flame and a majestic golden dragon-shaped pillar of light erupted simultaneously, echoing Mu Jiannan's azure sword pillar, and crashed fiercely into the sky once again!
Above the War Academy, crimson flames blazed and golden scales shimmered in the sky!
Three different phenomena representing different powers at the Soul Emperor Realm level—a vortex of sword energy, a raging storm of flames, and a golden dragon soaring through the clouds—appeared simultaneously, illuminating the entire sky as if a divine miracle had descended!
The terrifying pressure of the Soul Emperor combined, like an invisible tsunami, swept across the entire city and even affected more distant areas!
The elderly man and the middle-aged man: ???
These two have also broken through to the Soul Emperor realm?
