Just then, a grand voice emerged above the square. All the students, as well as the teachers who had arrived, looked towards the figure approaching amidst their bewildered gazes.
However, upon seeing who it was, many let out a sigh of relief. "It's Dean Cao!"
Vice Dean Cao headed straight for the entrance to the Linhai Secret Realm. Immediately, the person in charge on this side rushed over, his face pale.
It was only then that Vice Dean Cao looked towards the pale-faced woman. "Teacher Lin, isn't today the day the Linhai Secret Realm is to be reopened? At this time, it is forbidden for others to enter, yet someone has entered the Linhai Secret Realm."
The woman quickly explained, "Dean Cao, the Dean and Miss Qin are inside!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Vice Dean Cao was slightly startled. He glanced at the professors who had arrived from afar, the heads of the other departments, and the students from that academy who were watching the scene from a distance.
"The Dean is inside?"
"Yes..."
Vice Dean Cao, speechless, finally caught his breath and said, "Alright, tell them that the Dean is testing the effects of new Mechanical Weapons and to have them all leave."
After saying this, the Vice Dean, second only to Sang Sheng, entered the Linhai Secret Realm.
Under the protection of armor resembling ancient mechanical gear, Vice Dean Cao felt not the slightest worry.
However, upon entering, he couldn't help but stand still in awe.
What did he see?
At the far end of his line of sight, an immense pit appeared before him.
The radius of the pit was a full hundred meters!
Around the pit, countless trees and tufts of grass had been torn up and tossed aside. Although there was no large crater, the area was in complete disarray.
At the same time, within the pit, Vice Dean Cao saw the shattered spatial rift.
The pitch-black space crack was there before him.
But to Vice Dean Cao's slight relief, strands of scarlet mycelium were quickly mending the rift.
This was the Dean's Pet Beast, 'Crimson Weaver,' a special creature with Attributes of both Wood Element and Space Element.
It was indeed the Dean!
Vice Dean Cao relaxed a bit, but his thoughts turned rapidly, and he flew up, quickly seeing the situation on the hillside.
"Dean! What happened?"
Within a Spirit Barrier, Sang Sheng opened her eyes, looked at Cao Yunhe speechlessly, and then spoke, "Has there been a reaction outside?"
"Yes. Had we known it was the Dean inside, there wouldn't have been such a fuss."
"Hmm, it's nothing, just a little experiment. You go ahead with your tasks."
A little experiment?
The woman had indeed thought so earlier. But after saying this, she looked again at the large pit and the blown-open spatial rift.
Then she pursed her lips.
Dammit, why did it turn out this way?
Fortunately, Vice Dean Cao clearly hadn't noticed his Dean's complex emotional fluctuations.
He acknowledged with a "Yes."
Then, with a puzzled look, he glanced at Miss Qin standing beside the woman, a completely unfamiliar young man, and the strange Wolf Pet panting heavily on the cliff. Without further hesitation, he turned and headed out of the Linhai Secret Realm.
He was absolutely respectful to the woman.
Don't be fooled by the fact that both he and his ace Pet Beast had reached Emperor Peak, just a hair shy of Spirit Saint Level. Sometimes, this hair's breadth is a chasm between heaven and earth.
This was evident from Fengdu Sword King Yu Liangqing's example in the past.
Finally, after Cao Yunhe left, Su Ping looked at the woman and quickly approached her. Not even rushing to check on Old Sha's condition first, he hurriedly asked, "That... Predecessor, are you alright?"
The woman gave the kid a sidelong glance.
Alright? From where could it possibly look like things were alright?
If she hadn't acted quickly, summoning Xiao Hong to stand by just in case, and then had this brat promptly release the attack... Otherwise, if that Old Wolf had kept storing power, who knows what could have happened?
If the spatial rift hadn't been repaired in time, a spatial tear would have caused irreparable damage!
Even so, it was still a very troublesome situation.
But, could she tell Su Ping that? After all, it was she who had confidently promised this stinky kid he could go right ahead with it.
Who knew the kid would pull out something this big!
Indeed!
The woman understood in her heart. She couldn't blame her own misjudgment; it was just that this damned youngster was too abnormal.
However, she also knew. The power of this Skill was indeed outrageous, but in reality, it was mainly because the Old Wolf had accumulated power for long enough.
And again, in real combat, how could anyone allow you to build up so much power for so long? That was an impossibility.
But in terms of the present situation, the normal release power of this Skill would definitely be formidable.
Furthermore, it was uncertain whether one could move or even fight freely while accumulating power.
So, all things considered, this kid was a freak, and the creature he Cultivated was definitely a freak too. This was a certainty.
Facing Su Ping's earnest and pure gaze, what else could the woman say?
She could only muster an awkward and impolite smile, saying, "No problem! We can postpone the reopening of the Linhai Secret Realm for a few days, it's nothing."
No problem?
Not sure if it was just his imagination, but Su Ping felt a touch of resentment emanating from Lord Sang Sheng.
And... looking towards the devastation at the far end, it really didn't seem like 'nothing' was wrong, did it?
The only thing Su Ping was thankful for now was that they had tried it out in the Secret Realm first, instead of back home or any other place. Otherwise, the mess would likely have been even greater.
Su Ping pursed his lips, then said, "So... can I help with anything?"
"You can!"
Lord Sang Sheng's response eased the guilt in Su Ping's heart a bit, but her next sentence made him struggle to keep a straight face: "Get that Forest Wolf Evolver out of the Linhai Secret Realm quickly. Better safe than sorry. If it does that again, we'll really be in a bind."
