Chapter 326: 260 – The Fall of the Nine Star Newborn! The killer Yao Zhixue?



Zhuo Wu said, “I don’t know, the principal seemed really angry.”

“Oh, Brother Cheng is in trouble now.”

“Shut up, Zhuo Wu!” Zhuo Wen frowned, “No matter what, Brother Cheng is a new student with S-rated privileges, and he’s about to participate in the battle of the top ten potential dragons. The Principal won’t do anything to him.”

“That’s true…”

Another group of students from a few special academies also gathered around Zhuang Shuai, discussing excitedly.

“Shuai, how many points did you get in the secret realm this time?”

Zhuang Shuai proudly said, “I’m not sure how many points exactly, but I should be at least…”

He quickly calculated in his mind then said confidently, “At least second place!”

“Wow… Second place, that’s amazing!”

“I wonder what the reward for second place is?”

“Who got the first place? Could it be Chu He?”

“Impossible! I guess it’s Cui Xiabing! She’s the only nine-star professional in the support academy and our special academy.”

“She was kicked out from the secret realm a long time ago, how could it be her?”

At that moment, a spatial fluctuation flashed from the gate not far away, and Zheng Cheng appeared.

“Brother Cheng!”

“Brother Cheng has come out!”

“Let’s go quick!”

The gamer, Zhuo Wen and a few others excitedly ran over, Zhuang Shuai also dashed over, ignoring the strange looks from his peers.

“Brother Cheng, are you okay? Did the principal give you a hard time?”

“I’m fine.”

Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, “The Principal did not give me a hard time, let’s just say…that matter has passed.”

“It’s over?”

“There’s nothing to be accountable for? That’s just great!”

“As expected of Brother Cheng…”

“By the way, gamer, how was your secret realm exam?”

The gamer’s expression changed suddenly and said, “Brother Cheng, you might not know yet. Something happened at the Advanced Mental Assault Academy.”

Zheng Cheng’s heart jumped, “What happened?”

“A nine-star new student has fallen in the secret realm!”

“What? Who is it? Zhixue…”

“It’s not Yao Zhixue!”

The gamer voiced Zheng Cheng’s worry and said, “And rumor has it that the nine-star new student might have died at the hands of Yao Zhixue.”

“She is now being detained by the school’s discipline department, waiting for investigation.”

“Hmm?”

The gamer reluctantly said, “Though the competitions and contests between new students in the secret realm aren’t prohibited, killing each other is strictly forbidden. Now that someone’s died, if they can’t prove Yao Zhixue’s innocence, she could be…”

“Expelled!”

Zheng Cheng frowned, took out his phone and dialed Yao Zhixue’s number, but no one answered.

He thought for a moment and asked, “Do you know who the person who died was? Zhang Meiyu?”

Other than Zhang Meiyu, he could not think of any other nine-star new students associated with Yao Zhixue.

The gamer spoke weirdly, “It’s not Zhang Meiyu, but… Shi Feng.”

“Shi Feng?”

A flash of recognition crossed Zheng Cheng’s eyes, as he quickly recalled the information about the new student named Shi Feng.

Shi Feng, hailing from Binhai City, was a nine-star Mountain God.

He had the power to merge with and control mountains, making his defense incredibly strong.

But how could…he have fallen?

Zheng Cheng said, “Let’s go back first, I’ll find someone to find out more.”

“Okay!”

Meanwhile,

Inside the administrative office of Beijing National University, Yao Zhixue was sitting alone in a spacious room.

Despite the circumstances, she still maintained her icy demeanor, her gaze steady and indifferent, almost like a sculpture made of ice.

Several figures were sitting or standing in front of her.

One of them was Kang Yongchang, the Dean of the First-Year Division whom Zheng Cheng had just met!

“Yao Zhixue, you maliciously killed your companion Shi Feng in the Misty Swamp, one of the tests in the freshmen’s secret-realm examination. Do you understand your crime?”

“Shi Feng’s body was found, mixed with a large amount of swamp mud and frozen beneath eternal profound ice, having long since lost any signs of life.”

“His vital area was severed by a blade formed from the extremely cold qi, then his entire body was frozen by the same qi.”

“Upon examination by the school’s internal physicians, the freezing qi on him matched your own.”

“Do you… have anything to say?”

Yao Zhixue said indifferently: “I killed him.”

“The Dean, she has admitted to it!”

Just as Yao Zhixue finished her words, someone suddenly said, “According to the school rules, any student who maliciously attacks a fellow student during a secret-realm examination hosted by the school, resulting in severe injuries or failure of the task, should be severely punished!”

“Not only did Yao Zhixue maliciously attack Shi Feng during the secret-realm examination, but she even personally killed him. This act is exceedingly despicable, she is nothing short of a murderer!”

“To enforce school discipline, I propose that we expel Yao Zhixue from the school, and inform the Night Watch to perform a Truth Searching on her to see if there are any signs of her turning into one of the Fallen Ones…”

“Cough cough… Teacher Chen, Yao Zhixue is a member of the Night Watch, she couldn’t possibly be one of the Fallen Ones.”

Someone interjected, causing the expressions of the others present to slightly change.

“Hmph!” The middle-aged man known as Teacher Chen continued to sneer, “So what if she’s a member of the Night Watch? She took a life, and it wasn’t just anyone but another student who was a nine-star Professionist during an examination hosted by our school. Is this something a regular Professionist can do?”

“I really want to know, who was the one who recruited her into the Night Watch!”

“Exactly, does being a Night Watch mean she can do whatever she wants?”

“Could there be some misunderstanding in all this?”

“Yao Zhixue is known for being calm and has kept to herself from the moment she enrolled. I don’t believe she could have attacked a fellow student.”

“But Shi Feng’s body is evidence, and she just admitted to it…”

Several people discussed chaotically, some even starting to argue.

“That’s enough.”

Kang Yongchang broke up the argument, looking at Yao Zhixue coldly, “Student Yao Zhixue, your status is unique. However, the law applies to all regardless of status. No matter how special your status, you must be punished.”

“Do you have anything else to say?”

Yao Zhixue’s expression remained indifferent, calmly looking at Kang Yongchang.

“Yes.”

“What?”

“I was acting in self-defense.”

“Self-defense?”

Kang Yongchang repeated the word. Teacher Chen nearby immediately retorted, “Dean, don’t listen to her nonsense!”

“You’re saying self-defense allowed you to sever Shi Feng’s neck in such a short time?”

“Don’t you know Shi Feng is a Mountain Deity Professionist, who merges himself with the mountain, making his defense incredibly strong?”

“If you were not calculating beforehand, how could you have killed Shi Feng in such a short time?”

“As I see it, you harbored resentment against Shi Feng. You teamed up with him to undertake a task, and then killed him when he least expected it!”

Teacher Chen’s speculations won the agreement of most people present.

After all, annihilating a fellow Professionist of the same level in one move was too astounding to common sense.

Especially when you consider his Profession was the Mountain Deity, renowned for its defense.

Amid the noisy debate, Yao Zhixue continued, “Killing Shi Feng was completely an accident, I didn’t expect that my power would advance so quickly… ”

“What?”

Everyone present was taken aback, not knowing what Yao Zhixue was talking about.

“But I was indeed acting in self-defense. I have evidence.”

“Evidence?” Teacher Chen quickly asked, “What evidence?”

“A video recording.”

“A video recording? What do you mean?”

“Um, I knew this secret-realm examination would be full of accidents, so I specially brought a small, high-definition video camera.”

Yao Zhixue said indifferently, “Everything I experienced with Shi Feng is clearly recorded in it, including the audio~”

“He was the one who initiated the attack, I just acted in self-defense.”

“What?” Teacher Chen’s face looked quite interesting, “Where’s the video?”

“With me.”

Yao Zhixue said, “I’ve made several copies of it and hid them in different places.”

“Do you want to watch it?”
