Mana Revival: Starting by Sacrificing the Campus Belle!

Chapter 169: Chapter 143: Demon Beast Realm

Inside the principal’s office.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

The principal was sizing up Fang Xiu with some curiosity.

Li Mu stood beside the principal, a smile on her face.

As for Fang Xiu...

He was trying so hard not to laugh at the principal’s name that he was about to give himself an internal injury.

After all, he was in the presence of the principal of Zongheng University, the third-ranked university in the nation.

Fang Xiu had to show him at least a little respect.

’But this name... Isn’t it a bit too random?’

’His family really knew how to pick a name.’

’They must have hoped their child would be just like the old principal—always coming out on top, just as awesome.’

’So they named him Xiang Babang?’

’Is that really okay?’

”Level 26... even at Zongheng University, that’s graduation level. Why not send him directly to that place?”

Xiang Babang looked at Li Mu and said.

”That depends on his willingness. After all, he just had his Awakening!”

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Then she looked at Fang Xiu and said.

”That place might be dangerous, but it’s also the best place for training. I imagine every hot-blooded young person would want to go. Didn’t you want to go back then?”

Xiang Babang said again.

”Hot-blooded? I was just a reckless brat. All I knew was how to charge in headfirst. My power wasn’t enough; I didn’t even meet the requirements to go!”

Li Mu said helplessly, ”It’s a shame about my Talent.”

”Your Talent is powerful enough. Your Cultivation is just a bit slow. You’ll have your chance to shine in the future.”

Xiang Babang said.

”Yes, I do hope I can go to that place someday.”

Li Mu nodded.

The two of them continued chatting idly.

Fang Xiu just watched from the side.

He knew their conversation was meant for him to overhear.

But he was determined not to say a word.

’After all, this doesn’t sound like a good thing. Otherwise, they would have just gone for it directly.’

’Why would they need to discuss it so much? And what’s this about needing a special Talent?’

”Seriously, we’ve been talking for this long, and you’re not the least bit interested?”

After Li Mu and Xiang Babang had been chatting for a while longer,

they saw that Fang Xiu had no reaction at all. Li Mu looked at him helplessly and spoke.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly and said, ”What does adult business have to do with a little kid like me who just graduated high school? It’s a virtue for children not to interrupt when adults are talking. Praise me!”

”You...”

Li Mu was speechless.

’Virtue, my ass! You’re eighteen, for crying out loud!’

’And he calls himself a little kid.’

”Really not interested?”

Li Mu asked again.

Fang Xiu shook his head. ”Not interested!”

”Oh, well, if you’re not interested, you’re not interested!”

Li Mu said. She then turned to Xiang Babang and added, ”Teacher, he’s not interested. It looks like he’ll just have to be a good student and attend school normally.”

Fang Xiu didn’t speak, just watched Li Mu with a smile.

Xiang Babang could only shake his head with a helpless smile.

He could tell that Fang Xiu genuinely wasn’t interested at all!

Meanwhile, Li Mu was still trying to pique Fang Xiu’s curiosity.

But even after she had finished two glasses of water, Fang Xiu maintained his indifferent, ”none-of-my-business” attitude.

At this point, Li Mu really couldn’t sit still any longer.

”Seriously! I’m talking to you, young man! Can’t you show a little curiosity? Even little kids are curious. Aren’t you a kid?”

Li Mu was truly exasperated now.

’What is with this stubborn guy?’

”Hey, I’m eighteen years old now. I’m not a kid anymore. I can control my own curiosity. I know what I should and shouldn’t ask!”

Fang Xiu said with a smile, adding two final words: ”Praise me!”

Li Mu: ...

’Eighteen my ass! Didn’t you just say you were a little kid?’

”Hehehe, this kid seems to be a real troublemaker!”

Seeing this, Xiang Babang on the side couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

He then shook his head and said, ”Fang Xiu, actually, Li Mu knows of a place. It’s a bit dangerous, but it can provide you with the best training. Before long, I imagine your power could reach Level 40 or even higher.”

”What kind of place?”

Only then did Fang Xiu finally ask.

After all, everyone is curious by nature.

Fang Xiu was no exception.

It was just as he’d said: he was very good at suppressing his curiosity.

Otherwise, back when he was a kid with no one looking after him, his curiosity would have gotten him killed long ago.

Curiosity killed the cat. Fang Xiu understood this principle well.

”It’s a training facility established by the Awakening Hall specifically for the Awakened. Not only is the Spiritual Power there dense, but there are also many powerful Demon Beasts that come from other Gate Worlds.”

Xiang Babang explained.

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly. ”Come from Gate Worlds?”

He had seized on the key point, which was extremely important.

Because Xiang Babang hadn’t said they were ’brought from’ other Gate Worlds, but that they ’come from’ other Gate Worlds.

That one-word difference was huge.

’Brought from’ implies human intervention.

But ’come from’ implies the Demon Beasts are walking in on their own.

The distinction between the two was huge.

”A few powerful Space Awakeners, led by Li Mu, forcibly opened a Space Passage inside a Gate World. This allows Demon Beasts to wander in unintentionally and arrive at that training ground!”

Xiang Babang patiently explained to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly. ’So it’s semi-manually controlled.’

”Just to build a training ground for the Awakened?”

Fang Xiu asked, a little curious.

”Yes, but it was also an accident. An Awakener from the Awakening Hall, a Space Awakener, accidentally opened a Space Passage that led Demon Beasts to that location. Since there was no other choice, they had to turn it into a training facility!”

Xiang Babang didn’t hide anything.
