Chapter 232: Meeting the Principal (Second Update)

A few moments later…

“Indeed.”

He had actually expected this.

After all, he was a Whale Island University student and had pretty high clearance in the Union. He didn’t even need to look at any clues to discover many things that had gone wrong.

“As the Crown Sprite Trainer principal, why does he need to guard the exit day and night?”

“The experts of terrorist organizations such as the Ten Thousand Grace Cult and the Dark Society are far inferior to the Union. What are the ones supporting them behind the scenes?”

“Why did the world war back then suddenly come to a halt?”

“Many Heavenly King-level big bosses haven’t shown their faces for years. What’s the reason?”

“Everything is in… the document in my hand.”

After reading it, Su Hao let out a long breath.

As he had guessed, there were enemies in that world that could threaten the survival of humans.

But it was also a little different.

He had originally thought that there were intelligent races or high-level sprites that developed civilizations and formed countries…

But neither.

The threat came from “outsiders” like them.

He took a pen and tapped it lightly on the table. “According to the document, the aliens are actually humans like us!

“And in terms of appearance, there are only subtle differences in the color of the eyes and the temperament, but those can all be disguised. There’s only one point, that the aliens are fundamentally different from us.”

“Their blood is blue-green!”

Su Hao understood why the checks on the other entrance were much stricter.

They were just afraid that the aliens would sneak into Planet Aquamarine.

“The aliens are outsiders like Planet Aquamarine, but they have had sprites much for much longer. According to the analysis, the aliens probably had passageways with the New World on the planet they were on since hundreds of years ago.”

He knew all too well what that meant.

It has only been 61 to 62 years since the appearance of sprites on Planet Aquamarine. Since then, many Heavenly King-level and Crown-levels, existences that he couldn’t imagine had been born.

Then, how strong are those aliens, who had been developing for hundreds of years since contracting sprites?

…

The next day, with a heavy heart, Su Hao arrived at the square in front of the entrance tunnel at the end of Whale Island.

Since he had to meet the principal teacher, he had brought along Butterfly and the others, including the entry-level Bright Night Spirit.

Sprites squatted, stood, and sprawled around.

Senior Wu looked at him and asked,

“You read all of it?”

“Yes.”

“Any thoughts?”

“The so-called peaceful years are only because there are people who have been pushing ahead with heavy loads on their back.”

“What else?”

“Senior Wu, you guys are too great, it isn’t easy.”

The flattery was very comfortable to hear. Senior Wu nodded in satisfaction and asked again,

“Give me a more realistic idea. What’s your first reaction after reading the document?”

Su Hao probed, “It can’t be the end of the world tomorrow, right?”

“Well, looks like you’re pretty optimistic. There’s not much of a problem.”

Su Hao was puzzled.

Did he look very optimistic?

But he saw that Senior Wu could read jokes. Usually, he was in the mood to cut trees and plants, so he felt that the sky probably wouldn’t fall.

There wasn’t much of a problem.

There’s no need to panic.

House prices will continue to rise.

“Woo woo…”

A horn sounded.

Su Hao turned around and saw a huge freighter approaching from the sea level. It gradually stopped at the small harbor at the tail of the island.

Mountain Moving Apes moved down the containers one by one and worked with the staff present to install them on the big trucks parked in the square.

A moment later, more than ten large trucks full of goods drove towards the tunnel.

“We’re leaving too.”

Heavenly King Wu waved his hand and said.

Su Hao and the others followed quickly.

In the tunnel, the light was as bright as day, but there was only the sound of people and sprites walking.

He looked at the twenty-odd male and female seniors around him.

Some of them had solemn expressions—they should be newcomers like him.

The other portion was much more normal. Those were experienced old people.

Su Hao knew that in school, even third- and fourth-year students might not know of the existence of aliens.

That required an assessment.

It was only yesterday that Senior Wu told him that everything about their students was recorded and analyzed by professionals.

Only when one’s character and strength met the requirements would the instructors reveal information about the aliens to them.

Only then could one head to the second entrance.

Some of them were merely elite-level. In fact, their impact on the battle situation was almost negligible.

There wasn’t much difference between a few more and a few less.

It was just that they needed to nurture real strong people among them, even national pillar-level strong people.

He thought.

In front, the dozens of large trucks had already stopped and were being examined.

They stopped at the fork on the right.

To the left was the direction of Whale State City. It was a smooth journey.

Only by going right would there be strict security and cumbersome examination procedures.

Su Hao saw that even Senior Wu had been investigated.

Checking student cards, wristbands, and fingerprints, red light also swept across Butterfly and the others.

After a long while, there was a beep.

Several Sprite Trainer guards nodded at everyone. “Identity verification complete, you can pass.”

The group moved forward again, walking in the oppressive tunnel. An alloy door in front of them slowly opened on both sides, like a huge beast in the dark opening its mouth to swallow everyone.

A moment later…

Whoosh…

Some different sounds entered his ears, and light shone in from the entrance of the arched cave.

Su Hao looked up at his surroundings.

They had arrived.

…

On the opposite side of the entrance was not a city, but a fortress.

Compared to Whale State City, it seemed very desolate and cold.

There were only four sides of the city wall, which was dozens of meters tall. It was plated with a crystal luster and glowed under the sunlight, giving people a sense of security.

This was Whale Gate!

The important checkpoint to guard the Aquamarine Entrance!

It wasn’t prosperous, but its status was especially special.

“Students, listen to the instructors’ arrangements. Don’t run around, don’t run around, don’t run around. I repeat three times, do you understand?”

Senior Wu said, then looked at the two school instructors and nodded slightly at them.

“I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll bring Su Hao to meet the principal.”

He led Su Hao towards the stone steps on the side.

Only a group of seniors was left, staring with wide eyes.

They also wanted to be privileged!

…

Tap! Tap! Tap!

It wasn’t the sound of Dumb Unicorn hooves stepping on the ground, but the sound of Su Hao climbing the stairs.

He had already climbed up one level after another.

From the base of the fortress, they climbed up the side wall, then the front wall, and then headed for the central tower.

They circled around.

In Senior Wu’s words, one could only feel the atmosphere after climbing it personally.

On the city wall, Su Hao saw a vast forest in front. At the end of the forest was a lofty mountain. On the mountain, he vaguely saw…

A huge city!

“That… that is?”

“That’s the city of the aliens, and also where their entrance is. We call it Demon Snake City.”

“Why is it called Demon Snake City?”

“This…” Senior Wu paused for a moment. “It’s a complicated story, so I won’t talk about it. Wait for Teacher to fill you in.”

Su Hao was puzzled.

He was so angry.

But he couldn’t win against Senior Wu.

…

There were many Sprite Trainers stationed at Whale Gate.

But ordinary elite-level, or even master-level Sprite Trainers usually could only serve as warnings and guards.

The ones truly guarding Whale Gate were three experts.

Heavenly King Icebound, Heavenly King Burning Flame.

And Principal Yang.

The principal’s usual resting and office place was on the top of the tower at the highest point of the fortress.

Senior Wu knocked on the door. “Teacher, guess who’s here?”

In the room.

The old man’s friendly voice came out. “Little Wu, oh, you brought your little junior here. Then let him stay. You? It’s none of your business.”

Heavenly King Wu: “???”
