    Chapter 55: The Golden Core Principal (Please collect!)

    “What a long night…”

    Standing by the window of his home, looking at the neighborhood gradually coming alive, and the rays of the morning sun, Fang Xing sighed.

    He just wanted to develop peacefully; why did he always run into so many things?

    ‘Ding!’

    At this moment, a message from Jing Xia arrived, containing a file labeled ‘Destroy after reading.’

    Clearly, it was a one-time file that would self-destruct after being read.

    ‘Even superficial information has this level of security clearance?’

    Fang Xing nodded, just about to check it, when Jing Xia’s second message arrived: “Guo Peipei was silenced during transport!”

    “Silenced?”

    Fang Xing’s pupils constricted slightly, unconsciously adopting Jing Xia’s catchphrase: “Are the people at the Prevention Bureau all a bunch of good-for-nothings? They let someone be silenced? Or has the inside been corrupted?”

    He fell silent for a moment, finally beginning to read the information Jing Xia had sent:

    “The Astrological Society, worshipping the extra-dimensional evil god ‘Star Devourer·Kgetoremu’… What the heck, even dead overlords still have followers?”

    Fang Xing was speechless, continuing to read: “They believe the Great One Kgetoremu hasn’t died, but is merely sleeping in a special form, hoping to ‘awaken’ him through various methods…”

    “The Stellar Society, suspected to be a branch of the Astrological Society, its followers often appear as amateur astronomers…”

    “The Blood Descent Sect, skilled in various blood magic, human transformation, and bio-viruses… believing blood is the source of life, worshipping an evil god codenamed ‘Endless Blood Sea,’ believing all life originally emerged from the blood sea…”

    “The Chaos Association, worshipping an evil god named ‘Lord of Entropy,’ believing order is temporary and chaos is eternal, fond of creating chaos…”

    “The Gate Sect, worshipping an evil god related to the concept of ‘Gate,’ codenamed ‘Void Gate,’ its members are secretive, liking to develop followers among bio-humans… They preach that the ‘Void Gate’ has a thousand faces and a myriad forms. Research suggests that two other evil gods, ‘Primal Mother Gate’ and ‘Mysterious Lord,’ are possibly a trinity with ‘Void Gate’…”

    The information Jing Xia sent was short, but included dozens of evil god organizations, each incredibly secretive.

    “Even many are hidden, their tracks untraceable even by the Federation…”

    “Among these extra-dimensional evil gods, who knows which one propelled the massive eruption of human awakening of abilities… Or perhaps it wasn’t them, but another unknown entity… Or maybe it’s just a normal cosmic phenomenon?”

    After silently pondering this, Fang Xing made himself breakfast, calmly ate, and prepared to go to school.

    Even after destroying an evil cult base last night, he was still a high school student who needed to attend classes.

    Furthermore, the atmosphere was tense recently, so he shouldn’t go to Qinglinfang City again.

    The principle of enjoying the show without getting involved means blood can’t splatter on you!

    The city was bound to be chaotic for a while, and someone would definitely want to find him, the one who killed Chen Yi, to see what he had obtained from Chen Yi.

    Therefore, Fang Xing decided to play it safe again. Before going into hiding, he had already procured enough supplies for his cultivation.

    On the river embankment road, this time Fang Xing didn’t meet Jing Xia.

    After all, with such a serious incident of a prisoner being silenced, this dog-walking noble lady was probably very busy.

    However, at the school gate, Fang Xing met Liu Wei: “A Wei… Coming to class?”

    He greeted him politely.

    “Yeah, last night, your neighborhood was pretty chaotic…”

    Liu Wei casually mentioned.

    “Yeah, we caught a cultist…”

    Fang Xing nodded, and the two entered the school together.

    Upon entering the school, Xia Long rushed towards them: “You two came just in time, the principal wants to see you!”

    “Huh?”

    Fang Xing’s eyes lit up: “Could it be that the scholarship finally came through?”

    “That’s right, this time not only you two, but also Gu Yun and Bai Liany from the first year… Come with me.”

    Xia Long waved his hand, walking ahead of them.

    Fang Xing followed Xia Long, all the way to the principal’s office.

    Honestly, after being a student for two years, this was his first time entering this office.

    ‘In the past life, they said that the teachers you could interact with in university were basically at the highest level of life… That seems to be true.’

    ‘In this other world, even a high school principal is a remarkable figure…’

    Fang Xing muttered to himself, recalling the principal’s information.

    Aquila Star was a planet focused on education, with the principals of various high schools forming a supreme joint conference, dominating the planet’s policies and direction.

    And the principal of Yucai High School, ‘Lu Guangming,’ was a sixth-realm Martial Dao expert, a ‘Martial Dao Golden Core’ level powerhouse!

    Lu Guangming looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, slightly balding. Seeing Xia Long and Fang Xing, he immediately smiled: “Teacher Xia Long, please leave. Let me get closer to the school’s top students… Come, come, Liu, Fang, please sit.”

    It has to be said that, as a Martial Dao expert, this principal lacked the air of a powerful figure, and was more like an educator.

    Two people were already sitting on the sofa in the office – Gu Yun and Bai Liany!

    Fang Xing and Liu Wei thanked him and sat down next to them.

    “Our school is struggling… I think this year’s graduating class will be a complete failure, not a single one will get into university… Now all our hopes are on you.”

    Lu Guangming looked at the four of them, appearing very sincere: “This time, the school will give you a special scholarship, one million star coins per semester, hoping you will continue to strive and bring glory to the school…”

    ‘One million per semester? Not even enough to buy a laser gun on the black market…’

    Fang Xing muttered to himself, but also knew that it was a large sum of money.

    At least, it was barely enough to buy an apartment in the Happy Garden community.

    ‘But Yucai High School’s admission rate is quite terrible… Wait, Gu Yun is a recruited top student, not counting her, there are only three university seeds in the second year, all concentrated in Class Two of the second year, isn’t that a bit conspicuous?’

    Fang Xing thought of a possibility and was startled.

    He looked up and met Lu Guangming’s gentle gaze.

    The other party smiled slightly at him, appearing very amiable.

    But Fang Xing’s heart stirred: ‘Is this an investigation? Conducted directly by a Martial Dao Golden Core expert?’

    But he wasn’t a follower of any evil god, so he had nothing to fear.

    “Alright, if you have any problems with your studies or life, you can come to me…”

    After a cordial conversation with the four students, Lu Guangming began to dismiss them.

    Fang Xing and the others politely took their leave, closing the office door behind them.

    Lu Guangming then sat down on his genuine leather sofa chair, holding a thermos cup of goji berry tea: “A person has to accept getting old… Looking at these young people makes me feel a year older, time flies, beauty fades… Oh, I can live for five hundred years, then it’s fine…”

    On the desk, a half-body projection suddenly appeared, a fashionable and beautiful woman: “Lu Guangming… How did the investigation go?”

    When it came to business, Lu Guangming’s expression became serious.

    He put down his thermos cup, thought for a moment, and answered in a low voice: “Yun is someone I personally recruited, absolutely no problem… Besides that, the three in Class Two of the second year, also seem to have no major problems…”

    “Seem?”

    The woman was unhappy with Lu Guangming’s tone.

    “Sigh, I’m just a small Martial Dao Golden Core, not a Martial Saint, Martial God… How can I guarantee I won’t miss something?”

    Lu Guangming let out a long breath: “To be honest, Liu Wei might be the biggest risk… After all, we both know that the natural evolution of abilities is a lie, the appearance of ability users is definitely related to an extra-dimensional evil god!”

    “But we have to abide by Federation law, we can’t arrest people just because they awakened abilities… That would demoralize our own people.” The woman said.

    “So, I will keep an eye on them… Besides, isn’t your Prevention Bureau also watching this?” Lu Guangming picked up his thermos cup and took another sip, his demeanor becoming relaxed and comfortable: “With you all, old Lu can occasionally take a break…”

    “Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a special scholarship…”

    Walking out of the office, Bai Liany spoke first.

    “Yeah, living expenses and even nutritional expenses for the next semester won’t be a problem.”

    Although Fang Xing secretly cursed the Federation’s stinginess, he was still happy on the surface.

    “Yeah… I’m almost broke enough to resort to underground fighting.”

    Liu Wei added.

    Martial Artists advance faster than Cultivators.

    Even Qi Condensation Stage Cultivators often take years of arduous cultivation to improve their basic cultivation techniques by one level.

    They might even be stuck at the Qi Condensation Initial and Middle Stages, or even the bottleneck of breaking through from the Middle to Late Stages for years, decades, even several decades…

    In comparison, Martial Artists advance much faster.

    At least half of Yucai High School’s students reach Martial Dao Second Realm by graduation!

    With sufficient resources, rapid progress is easily achievable.

    Hearing that Liu Wei was so broke he was considering underground fighting, Fang Xing glanced sideways at this former playmate.

    “If you’re really short of money, you can be my sparring partner.”

    Gu Yun looked at Liu Wei, with a hint of fighting spirit.

    She hadn’t expected that the two random targets she had chosen back then were students with such outstanding talent.

    No, Liu Wei was just lucky, his awakened ability skyrocketed his progress.

    But Fang Xing, who had self-taught the Ghost God Blade, was a true genius.

    Thinking of this, her gaze towards Fang Xing also held a touch of eagerness: “I’m going to class… Also, remember your internship!”
