Luo Xue hadn't steadied herself yet, but Li Xin was already there, throwing a punch. It was as if a powerful vortex of aura was drawing her in, making it impossible to dodge. Luo Xue quickly blocked, and boom...

The massive force sent Luo Xue's figure flying up into the air. Li Xin didn't pursue, but suddenly felt a murderous aura in mid-air. Luo Xue's eyes turned blood-red, and her Spiritual Ability exploded to another level, even breaking Fei Ruolin's Sealing Spirit Barrier.

Behind the door, Fei Ruolin and Nan Kai's faces changed, Red Eye?

Isn't that a bit harsh for a newcomer?

At this moment, Luo Xue, with her blood-red eyes, descended like a silver-haired goddess of death, once again attacking Li Xin. Li Xin didn't dodge but caught her knife hand directly. The fierce Spiritual Ability burst from both of them, boom...

The ground cracked open. Luo Xue's gaze was like a knife fixed on Li Xin. Li Xin controlled Luo Xue's hands; they were usually soft, but right now they were deadly. "President Luo Xue, don't be angry. This was Old Luo's fault, but I've been wronged too. I got beaten, you know, so calm down. When I get a chance, I'll set Old Luo up for you."

Winning a fight wasn't the solution, mainly it was about letting the other party's emotional knots unravel. After all, he still needed to survive in the Canon Law School, and Old Luo would definitely need Luo Xue's support for his future work.

"Slick talker, looking for death!" Luo Xue's red pupils turned all her Spiritual Ability red.

Boom~~~

The training ground exploded with sudden thunder, like spring thunder roaring. The people outside the door looked at each other—did it have to be this intense?

The first watershed in Spiritual Ability cultivation is the Divine Eye, also known as the Eye of Secrets. It's a qualitative change, and it's the reason why Luo Xue could strongly be the president. Not only because she mastered the Divine Eye but also at such a young age, her potential exceeds ordinary people.

Luo Xue's Eye of Secrets is the Red Eye, which fully enhances combat power, allowing her to use abilities like Spiritual Ability blasting, directly attacking the opponent's soul and body. It's on another level, unendurable. If not a one-hit kill, severe injury is inevitable.

However, after being hit with a Spiritual Ability blast, Li Xin smiled wryly, "President, I'm serious. I'm on your side, can't stand Old Luo's backdoor dealings either..."

Luo Xue glared at Li Xin, tension in the air. Li Xin was at wit's end; he had to control her. The Red Eye attack was aggressive and easily caused injuries. If such a petty girl got hurt, it would be a bigger problem.

Seeing Li Xin's dilemma of wanting to act but struggling, Luo Xue suddenly chuckled, like an ice mountain melting, flowers blooming, "Alright, I won't fight anymore."

Li Xin: ...

"Why aren't you letting go? How long are you going to hold on?" Luo Xue said.

Li Xin quickly let go, just feeling a bit dizzy from this experienced driver's drifting technique—what just happened?

Old Luo's test?

"Wait a moment." With that, Luo Xue walked towards the door of another room and yanked it open. Although the people outside reacted quickly, they were still caught. Xiao Hu was slower, not yet turned around, while the others looked at him with criticism and disdain.

"Nan Kai, Ruolin, I have something to discuss with Li Xin." At this moment, Luo Xue lost her usual ice-cold demeanor, gaining a touch of charm, even a bit of delight. Paired with her smooth silver ponytail, a goddess-like presence emerged, leaving Lu Shuai and others stunned.

So she could speak so gently, her feminine allure instantly appeared, stunningly beautiful.

"Yes, President, about Li Xin..."

The crowd hadn't seen it, but they knew Luo Xue had just used the power of the Red Eye, a bit worried Li Xin might be injured.

"He passed the test. Just now, the four-choice situation was just part of the test. Don't mind," Luo Xue said. "Everyone performed excellently. Lu Shuai and Huerta can also be made permanent."

Instantly delighted, Lu Shuai gave a thumbs-up, "The President is generous, indeed extraordinary. Under the President's leadership, our Celestial Capital Black Rose will surely reach greatness. Is Li Xin okay?"

Luo Xue couldn't help but smile, "He's fine, Lu Shuai, less flattery. Everywhere you go, you're a target. If you don't want to be a stepping stone, better get stronger. Also, change the habit of eavesdropping. Ruolin, have them copy the rules of the Black Rose society a hundred times, you two as well."

Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin both grimaced, reluctantly leading the group away. Darn it, rank disparity is overwhelming.

Li Xin followed Luo Xue to the President's Office. The Black Rose's base was incredibly large, and the entire third floor belonged to the president's space. The lavishness made Li Xin want to become president himself.

"Please, sit. Would you like something to drink?" Luo Xue asked, her gaze wandering over Li Xin joyfully, making him uneasy since he knew he wasn't as handsome as Roland.

"Coffee, please."

Seeing a coffee machine, Li Xin wanted to try it. In stores, it's 88 glazed beans per cup, almost like robbery.

"Perfect, these beans are from the southern tropical jungles of the Mosel Kingdom, beautifully roasted." With that, Luo Xue began grinding the beans and step by step earnestly making the coffee. Entranced, Li Xin could only hold back his questions.

After a while, a fragrant cup of coffee was placed in front of him, and even the cup smelled nice, "Thank you."

"No, I should thank you," Luo Xue said, bowing.

Startled, Li Xin quickly set down the coffee and supported Luo Xue, "Cough, cough, let's talk properly, President Luo Xue. As long as people communicate, there's nothing unsolvable."

"I must thank you for your help back then," Luo Xue suddenly blinked, "It's been a long time since the Secret Castle."

Li Xin's aura calmed down, and the spacious President's Office became silent, as if entering a suffocating isolated space. Luo Xue had a slight excitement at the corners of her mouth, happy and as it should be. She hadn't used her full strength, only slightly verifying her hypothesis.

In the Secret Castle, there were no names or origins, only numbers. Those with numbers were official, others were candidates. Luo Xue was official, and she knew Li Xin was too. They had met a few times during the Secret Castle trainings, and Li Xin had helped her.

Six years had passed, and most castle-related memories had faded from life. Li Xin looked at Luo Xue, trying to find some trace, ... but had little impression.

"I was in the fifth batch, had a number," Luo Xue smiled slightly, blinking, "I remember you too, but you should have come earlier."

There was a hint of pride in her words.

Li Xin showed a realization expression, "The change is big."

Luo Xue smoothed her long silver ponytail, revealing a surprised smile, "Yes, you finally remember. The hair changed color due to a Divine Relic. It felt strange at first, but now it feels pretty cool."

Li Xin picked up the coffee again, took a sip, and it was fragrant.

That eerie castle, she called it the Secret Castle. The undead creatures who ruled there always had strange ideas. Sometimes he would lend a hand to someone he found pleasing; saving a life was better than building a seven-tiered pagoda. "Did you recognize me because of me, not Luo Jin?"

Luo Xue chuckled softly, nodding, "How would Grand Wind Discipline Officer Luo Jin interfere in such matters? He's very respected here in the Celestial Capital. Plus, I heard recently there've been hidden incidents, and he hasn't come to the Canon Law School for a long time. The first time I saw you, I had my suspicions. You resemble your past self, but with quite a temperament change. Oh, the eyes haven't changed much, so I used some methods to verify it. Don't be mad at me."

Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief and had a touch of happiness, for she had gained a powerful and reliable partner to face the current tricky situation.

If there were a mirror, Li Xin would've looked into it. Damn, he always thought his disguise as an ordinary Underground City youth was perfect. Turns out, his eyes were so striking.

"After we left the Secret Castle, we all tried to find you, but there was no news. Considering your strength, nothing dangerous should have happened," Luo Xue said, "Didn't expect you would suddenly appear before me one day."

"Did the Secret Castle look for you afterward?" Li Xin was still wary of the Secret Castle, with too many unknown forces within. He wasn't afraid but had to consider those around him.

Luo Xue chuckled, "How could it? This heaven-sent opportunity appears once every fifty years. Many families paid a hefty price. Its sole mission is to let a Divine Relic find a suitable host to enter the real world. Although the process is harsh, life or death unheeded, it pales in comparison to the benefit gained, granting it a unique status in Dao Yuan."

Those who had been to the Secret Castle could never be the same as ordinary people, as with Luo Xue. Life in the Secret Castle was brutal, yet now she realized it was key to her current power, even a dominating force against Canon Law School standards.
