Ye Feileng's expression was grim, her hands slightly open as the power of the Sixth Energy Level burst forth, colliding head-on with the evil presence.

But the evil presence was like a vast ocean, and Ye Feileng's power was merely a small island within it.

The evil presence instantly enveloped her, spreading behind her.

Ye Feileng's expression shifted again, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly, These researchers are useless! This isn't a demonic form; it's a Mutant!

The individual chosen by the Principal was exceptionally talented. However, as a newcomer facing a Mutant during her induction ceremony, it was no wonder she couldn't resist and was contaminated.

Being of the Sixth Energy Level, Ye Feileng was confident in her ability to handle this incident. She even believed she could contain the battle within this underground hall without needing assistance from the personnel of the temple outside.

However, Sun Kexin, the promising new talent whom the Principal highly regarded, was ruined.

Rage filled Ye Feileng's heart, and her aura grew heavier, becoming as unyielding as iron. She stared at the emitter, silently gathering strength and activating her Professional skills.

She was just waiting for the Mutant to emerge, ready to blast it back with a tempestuous assault!

But suddenly, the Mutant's evil presence paused abruptly and then retreated rapidly, seemingly even faster than when it had burst out. In the blink of an eye, it had all retracted into the emitter, and the beeping alarm from the monitoring instruments immediately ceased.

Sun Kexin's vital signs quickly normalized, soon returning to the stable green range!

Ye Feileng frowned. What's going on? Did it retreat because it sensed I'm of the Sixth Energy Level? This doesn't align with the habits of creatures from the Endless Realm.

The head researcher was already trembling with fear. Having hidden behind Ye Feileng, his legs had gone weak, and he couldn't run.

Yet, that evil and terrifying presence had retreated inexplicably.

It took a while for the head researcher to calm down. He peeked out from behind Ye Feileng to look at the monitoring instruments, equally puzzled. "Is it over?" he asked.

He hesitantly approached the instruments, checked them once, then checked them a second time more carefully. He said to Ye Feileng in disbelief, "It's really over. That girl... she succeeded. She's a Professional now."

Ye Feileng felt an unreal and unsettling sensation in her heart and said coldly, "Check the contamination levels! Prevent any lurking Mutants!"

"Yes!"

All the necessary equipment was readily available, as this check was a standard procedure after induction and promotion.

The head researcher, along with his two subordinates, quickly operated the equipment, strictly following procedures. It didn't take long to get the results: "No problems."

Ye Feileng said in a stern voice, "Check again, more carefully!"

The head researcher dared not complain, especially since the recent events had seemed quite peculiar to him.

This second check took a bit longer, but the result was the same: "Indeed, there are no problems."

Ye Feileng let out a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know why the Mutant had suddenly given up, Sun Kexin was unharmed and had become a Professional, which was a good thing.

"Let her come out," Ye Feileng said.

At this moment, however, Chen Gu made an untimely suggestion, "I recommend we ask Dr. Meng Ji to check her again."

Chen Gu felt even more unsettled than Ye Feileng. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but that sinister and powerful presence had rushed past Ye Feileng, spread out before him, then suddenly stopped. It had then swiftly retreated, even abandoning Sun Kexin...

He didn't have much trust in those experts from the temple outside. He felt that only a thorough examination of Sun Kexin by Dr. Meng Ji could completely rule out the suspicion of mutation.

Bai Zhijin asked, "Who is Meng Ji?"

The head researchers were all aware of Meng Ji's great reputation.

Ye Feileng glanced back at Chen Gu with a mocking tone. "Is this your concern for your college classmate?"

Chen Gu frowned. He wasn't targeting Sun Kexin; he just felt the situation was strange and warranted caution. If Sun Kexin truly had a problem, the potential harm would be immense.

Ye Feileng turned and said assertively to the head researcher, "Open the door. Let her out."

She moved forward to greet Sun Kexin and, without looking back, said to Chen Gu, "The Bureau of Mystic Security isn't the only place with experts. Huai Shan Branch School has its own elites. After the freshman military training ends, I will take Sun Kexin back for a detailed and comprehensive examination."

"If you're worried about being contaminated by Sun Kexin, feel free to quit this freshman military training. Heh, but quitting the freshman military training means withdrawing from Huai Shan Branch School. You understand that, right?"

Chen Gu couldn't bear it any longer. Is everyone at the Sixth Energy Level this obstinate? Or is it just you, Ye Feileng? When I worked with Gong Shuxu, the old man was proud, yet he was willing to listen to differing opinions. That's how we managed to cooperate effectively and make it back alive from that hellish battlefield.

But with Ye Feileng, communication seemed impossible.

You dragged me into this mess, to say nothing of that, and now you're telling me I have to drop out of school for offering a reasonable suggestion?

His expression also grew cold. He said indifferently, "I request to speak with the Principal. The team leader's obstinacy is threatening the safety of all freshmen, and potentially the entire Huai Shan Branch School!"

Ye Feileng scoffed, "Sure. Contact the Principal yourself."

She went over to the emitter, which the head researcher had already opened at her command.

HISS—

The airtight door opened. Sun Kexin sat inside, looking bewildered. Upon seeing Ye Feileng, she immediately asked, "Teacher, what just happened?"

Ye Feileng's attitude towards her softened considerably. "It's alright," she said gently. "Come on out."

The emitter, connected to various monitoring instruments, tracked not only Sun Kexin's vital signs but also its own operational status. After the powerful and evil presence had completely retreated, no contamination remained within the emitter, and it was safe for continued use.

Chen Gu no longer bothered with Ye Feileng. After a moment's thought, he called Dr. Meng Ji.

He didn't exaggerate but simply recounted the process of Sun Kexin's induction as a Professional. As expected, Dr. Meng Ji became very interested. "This isn't normal!" he exclaimed.

"Even when facing a Sixth Energy Level individual, Mutants are not entirely powerless. More importantly, beings from the Endless Realm, when presented with an opportunity to invade the real world, would not act rationally. They would attempt to break through even if they knew it meant certain death."

"There's definitely a secret here we don't know about. I must find out what it is!"

"Wait for me; I'm going to see the Director-General."

Chen Gu didn't directly call Aviloya, knowing the Valkyrie most likely wouldn't take his call. However, given the anomaly during the induction, Chen Gu knew that once he informed Dr. Meng Ji, the doctor would vigorously pursue the matter.
