One of the members from the audience suddenly roared; the sound echoed throughout the lobby.

 

Belinda looked down from the stage and replied without hesitation, “City Lord Aldrich, what are you doing?”

 

Aldrich wanted to reproach her and ask why she did this, but he knew that he couldn’t act recklessly and decided to encourage his men. He said, “Even if there are problems within the school, with Doomsday City standing out there, no one would dare to make a move on the Holy Spirit Magic School.”

 

His domineering words spread throughout the area.

 

The students and the teachers subconsciously felt relieved. Fortunately, many of the city’s leaders were peak eternal-level fighters. With the eleven generals and 100,000 soldiers, it would not be easy for the outside forces to enter the school.

 

“His Lord Aldrich is very encouraging!” Belinda boasted, “With the protection of City Lord Aldrich, we will be a lot safer, but we must also strive to improve ourselves.

 

There was also a problem with our school’s autonomy. Right now, we can lead the remaining students of our group to fight the rebels, but our Student Holy Spirit Group only consists of students. Our total strength is too weak, so there are some things that we can’t do by ourselves.”

 

At this moment, everyone became silent.

 

Could it be that the Student Holy Spirit Group had put in a huge amount of effort to ensure the other students’ safety?

 

The students at the same level as the Student Holy Spirit Group members felt ashamed.

 

The white-haired old man Dixie, who was sitting on the right of the vacant position, finally said, “While the Students Holy Spirit Group is working hard, there are also many teachers and remnants of the Holy Spirit Group who don’t trust them. Many things are happening, such as the broken enchantment and people trying to steal the school’s treasures. The rebels were the culprits for these incidents as they are also the reason why the martial arts halls’ cores were depleted.”

 

“What?! So that’s why!”

 

“It was actually like that!”

 

“So it wasn’t just an accident!”

 

“It turned out to be like this!”

 

“Wicked rebels, to even betray the very school that raised them!”

 

The students voiced out their personal thoughts, but Belinda ignored them and continued, “Fortunately, there was a person who saved us. Does everyone know who that was?”

 

“I have heard of her.” Outside of the audience’s discussion, Aldrich replied with a clear tone, “The little girl named Yan Shi, right? Is there anything strange about that?”

 

“No, there is nothing wrong.” Belinda suddenly smiled. “What I want to say is that this little girl named Yan Shi is not an ordinary student, but the head of the group, Long Shiyan, whom we thought had already died.”

 

“That’s bogus, isn’t she dead?”

 

“So the rumors were true.”

 

“How come she’s still alive?”

 

“There are many reasons, but, indeed, the head of the group did not die.” Belinda dismissed the doubts of the audience.

 

But there were still many people who don’t believe her as they became frenetic once again.

 

“And so, allow the head of the group to make an appearance on-stage!”

 

As Belinda spoke, Long Shiyan slowly walked out from backstage. The system Qian Qian following her was the best proof of her identity.

 

She walked to the front of the crowd expressionlessly. She simply stated, “I may have died once, but I was lucky enough to be resurrected. I only came back to check on the school, but I didn’t expect all of this to happen. Right now, I am at peak ninth-level! So, I will never allow anyone to damage the school in front of me!”

 

As she said that, she cast a gaze towards Long Aotian, who could be seen sitting in the corner of the front row.

 

The reason why he was so conspicuous was because of his unconventional way of sitting. He was lying on two chairs as the fat man beside him was inexplicably asleep. His posture and location were very distinct from the rest of the audience.

 

Long Aotian was not being careless; his line of sight slightly raised, responding to Long Shiyan’s gaze. There was a kitten next to him who spoke out, “It’s her. She’s the spirit who crossed over and swallowed your sister’s soul. Right now, we can finally recover her body.”

 

At that moment, Long Aotian’s eyes were similar to ice, coldly glaring at Long Shiyan, who was on the stage.

 

Of course, Long Shiyan was not afraid. With her chilling aura, she responded to his provocation.

 

“She is going to use your younger sister’s power to control the whole school, and I can’t stop her. The students in this school are too strange; I can’t guide them using my will. During the awards ceremony, she will do something. Perhaps she will steal your Tianxin Grass to prevent you from maturing,” said the white cat.

 

“Between the two of us who crossed over from a different world, only one will remain!”

 

“That’s right!” The white cat ran its paw past its head. “And she also took away your younger sister’s soul. This is stealing. She’s different from you, whose soul had been attached to a dead body. She had continued to destroy the order of the world as well as seize the power of the school. To stop her, you must wage war against her.”

 

At this moment, a small golden dragon suddenly crawled out of Long Aotian’s arm. The dragon sniffed around and spoke in a cheerful mood, “Big Brother, I can sense the Tianxin Grass. It smells so sweet! So sweet! Let me go and get it… ”

 

It started to fly away at a very high speed, but it was thrown down by the white cat. There was no way for it to struggle or turn into its bigger form.

 

“Hehe! Even if you were a foreign creature, under my suppression, there is no way for you to run. So you better listen to your master’s words!”

 

“Big Brother, save me,” a childish voice sounded. It sounded very pleasant to hear as if it were from an adorable little boy.

 

“Don’t worry, the Tianxin Grass will become yours sooner or later.” Long Aotian looked at the white cat.

 

The white cat said, “You are the champion, so Tianxin Grass should be rightfully yours. So, if she does not give you the Tianxin Grass, then we have the right to denounce her in front of everyone and tarnish her reputation.”

 

“I understand.”

 

Head of the Group?

 

Head of the Group?

 

Many of the students chattered continuously as it took a while before they collected their thoughts. They stopped talking once someone asked, “Do you remember me, Head of the Group?” The voice was drowned within the crowd, but Long Shiyan heard it clearly, “I know you, Tia. During your third year, I helped you solve your obesity problem. Now you are in the Swordsmanship Research Department.”

 

“Correct!”

 

When the others listened to Long Shiyan’s answer, they asked, “What about me? What about me?”

 

Long Shiyan replied to them one by one: “Xuan Yuanshang, Dinas, Luo Xu, Kelly.”

 

Every one of her responses was absolutely correct. What was shocking was that she completely remembered their names and who they were. This made her admirers nearly faint.

 

Thus, Long Shiyan’s identity was confirmed.

 

However, compared to the student’s upheaval, the teachers were much calmer. Their attention wasn’t focused on Long Shiyan’s return, but towards her strength as a peak ninth-level fighter.

 

Among the people lower than Saint-level experts, there would be almost no one who could win against her single-handedly.

 

Not only was this good news, but she also had such a high reputation among students.

 

Outside of the student area, the major foreign forces were secretly calculating. Peak ninth-level. They had a reason to believe she was at that level, after all, she was able to defeat that crazy peak ninth-level old man while protecting the students.

 

After that, she also disposed of the strong members of the Assassins’ Union, which was difficult for even a dragon to achieve.

 

In short, like Aldrich, she was also noteworthy.

 

“Does everyone believe me?” Long Shiyan said, arbitrarily sweeping her gaze at Long Aotian. She noticed that he was lying lazily with his eyes closed.

 

No one objected to her words.

 

“In that case, for the time being, the school will be handed over to me for protection. Does anyone disagree?” Long Shiyan asked again.

 

“We of the militia have no objections.” She didn’t expect that the first one who spoke was Aldrich. It seemed that he was fed up with internal turmoil. If there was a good candidate for a leader, then, of course, he would fully support that candidate.

 

When Aldrich agreed, no one dared to oppose him. Even if there were any disagreements, there was no way they’d be voiced out. The four old teachers, the Holy Spirit Group, the entire Student Holy Spirit Group, and even most of the students agreed with her. With so many people’s support, no one dared to seek trouble by opposing her.

 

In this way, she easily seized the power of the entire school.

 

Long Shiyan suddenly took out her épée and thrust it into the ground, standing upright. “I, Long Shiyan, shall not disappoint everyone’s expectations. I shall guard every piece of land in the school, and I will not let anyone suffer from any harm. As long as my body stands upright, the school will never fall!”

 

After she said that, she returned to her seat beside the other eleven.

 

Belinda smiled and said, “I am very pleased that the head of the group could return. We all understand her strength, and with the help of Lord Aldrich, we will certainly protect the school.”

 

The old teacher Dixie said, “The school will now be run by the Student Holy Spirit Group and Long Shiyan. The rest of us six people will be acting as assistants. I hope that our school will get better and better.”

 

Long Shiyan stood up and did not rely on the loudspeaker magic tool. She said, “Nowadays, all the bad characters out there are keeping a close eye on our school. My head is worth twenty million purple gold coins in the Assassins’ Union.”

 

“I am sorry, Head of the Group.” Edgar suddenly interrupted. “I went to the Assassins’ Union yesterday and learned that your reward rose. They are now offering thirty million purple coins for your head,” he said with a serious expression.

 

“Am I getting more and more expensive?”

 

The two of them made a cold joke as all the students in the lobby roared in laughter.

 

However, the atmosphere was also tense.

 

Brands pretended to think deeply. “She certainly is really expensive, but I think that after today, it may rise by a few more thousand.”

 

“This God also agrees.” Ox-headed Chris nodded. “Maybe, the dragon race, who are fond of gold coins, will team up and come here to look for trouble.”

 

Even the dragons race wouldn’t claim that they were stronger than peak ninth-level fighters.

 

“You guys…” Belinda was silent for a while. “The atmosphere that was originally very solemn, but it turned bright all of a sudden! You guys are really—!”

 

Zi Linglong was too lazy to open her mouth. This scene was not strange to her. The three men in her team were similar to the three stooges. Belinda was also speechless. Zi Linglong’s elder sister’s speech was interrupted by Edgar’s spontaneous statement.

 

Then, the two remaining stooges joined the fray.

 

But Long Shiyan was just as speechless by the incident and displayed no strong emotions.

 

The pressure! It was really too great!

 

Who did they have to face when her elder sister had not come back yet? There were many greedy Holy Spirit Group traitors or rebel teachers who were much stronger than them. However, they did not know how to punish these rebels who were up to no good.

 

Back then, they didn’t dare to laugh and fool around like usual.

 

But now that her elder sister had returned at peak ninth-level strength, she undoubtedly gave them a great sense of security. Moreover, the Alchemy Research Society members were also on the move, and they would most likely breakthrough to the ninth-level.

 

This was a good thing.

 

Long Shiyan glanced at a few people and rebuked in a low voice, “Don’t fool around when it’s time to get serious. Be quiet.” Then, she turned to the next topic of discussion. “Lord Aldrich?”

 

Her eyes swept past the crowd.

 

“Listen to the head of the group!” A voice came from the crowd.

 

Long Shiyan said, “After coming back, I began to strictly seal off Doomsday City, not allowing any suspicious people to enter. The dispatched troops are strictly guarding the perimeter. The news about the Luoji Empire cannot be ignored as they can attack us on the grounds that I killed their prince. They may have already planned to attack for a long time and are cooperating with other forces.

 

After you go back, you should spread the news to the rest of the world, saying that our Holy Spirit School is in critical condition. This is so that the Holy Spirit Magic School alumni can come back to protect their school.

 

Finally, I have recently received news that many foreign forces are coming to our school. These are unknown enemies, so we must raise our guard, but it’s also possible that we might not be able to beat them. For this reason, students are still not allowed to leave the school for the time being. The outside world is turbulent, and it’s very dangerous to go out.”

 

“I understand what to do; I will immediately return,” Aldrich said as he led his troops to exit the area.

 

“So that’s all for our announcements.” Long Shiyan paused and said, “Next, we will be entering the most important topic of the day—the award ceremony of our school’s martial arts competition. Let us have the pleasure of welcoming the champion of the school’s competition, Long Aotian.”
