Although such a serious accident occurred, in fact, except for Gu Yueyan and the other two, the other students were not affected. They were still hunted down by the Taoyuan monks everywhere, and the "Stealing Heaven's Secrets" plan continued.
It was useless for the students to hide, because the stickers they put on the bus before getting on were not only protective spells, but also a GPS positioning device. No matter how well they hid, they would still be caught up.
In just thirty minutes, the students experienced the process of being chased, meeting reinforcements, their reinforcements being entangled, and being chased again. During this period, their moods fluctuated greatly and were extremely exciting, causing their adrenaline to be secreted rapidly.
Among them, whenever the students thought they were about to be caught, a beautiful and heroic woman would teleport in front of them, blocking the Taoyuan monks who were attacking the students, giving the students a chance to escape.
Almost all the students had been rescued by her. When they had exhausted their last bit of strength and gone through the longest thirty minutes of their lives, the woman would appear again and announce that they had been rescued and that this was just an experiment.
If the Taoyuan Undead who were chasing the students said, "We are acting, don't run away again," the students would definitely not believe it. But facing this powerful woman who could teleport, all the students were convinced.
When the students got back on the intact bus, it felt like a lifetime ago.
"Congratulations to everyone for passing the test safely."
When the students saw Teacher Tian, who had been cut in half, reappear on the bus, although they knew that this must be some kind of supernatural power, many of them still turned pale with fright.
"Haha, this is my awakening ability, Immaculate Split." Teacher Tian laughed: "Just now I split into two halves, doesn't it look like I'm dead?"
If a normal person were split in half like that, he would definitely die!
"I know you have a lot of questions. When you get to school, the person in charge will answer them all at once." Teacher Tian said, "Don't worry, the school will give you adequate compensation for this unannounced experiment, but please also understand that the school has done its best to ensure your safety during the experiment and has not put you in any real danger."
"The original intention of this experiment is to help you, the chosen ones, to take a step forward. Similar experiments have been held in ten universities for practitioners across the country. This is definitely not a private act of our school."
Since Teacher Tian said this, the students had nothing to say and could only arrive at Tianlian College with endless confusion and dissatisfaction.
It was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon, and Teacher Tian took the students directly to the fourth floor of the cafeteria to have a calming meal - the construction team built a new floor of the cafeteria, which was usually not open to teachers and students, and was specially used as a banquet restaurant for corrupt groups within the school.
As soon as the students came in, they saw the Peach Blossom Undead, who were dressed decently but still had extremely terrifying looks, sitting at the banquet.
However, the students were told on the bus that this was an experiment and that all the villains, the Utopia Undead, were played by faculty and staff, so they were not too surprised.
Ren Suo's table was not full, there were only him and Zhao Huo. Most of the other teachers were military men, and they had a good relationship with each other so they sat together.
Ren Suo is a game geek and researcher, and Zhao Huo is a clay figurine enthusiast and a member of the subtitle group, so although their popularity is not bad, it is not that great either.
Gu Yueyan and the other two and the couple also sat at this table. Lin Xianyu asked, "Brother Ren and Teacher Zhao, why don't you wash your faces?"
"In order to prevent the makeup from falling off and being exposed, our makeup is fixed with magic." Ren Suo said helplessly: "It will take a few hours for it to fall off."
"This is great." Zhao Huo was eating a baked sweet bun. "It's a pity that this spell to fix makeup has limitations, otherwise I would like to learn it, so that I don't have to touch up my makeup when I cosplay in the future."
"By the way, brother, this is Du Liwei, and this is Huang Xuehui." Ren Xingmei introduced, "They are both awakened, but you also saw that just now, right?"
The couple greeted each other awkwardly. Ren Suo glanced at them a few times, and the familiar feeling lingered in his mind.
But he just couldn't remember it. Maybe it was because the young man's almost bald head was quite familiar to him - in the teaching group, many former military teachers had this hairstyle.
At this time, Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu looked at Ren Suo, took a deep breath and said together:
"Thanks."
Ren Suo was slightly stunned, then waved his hand: "Don't mind it, this matter was originally ours... ah, yes, it's not my fault, I'm just a temporary worker. But it's reasonable that saving you is also within my job scope."
"You risked your life to save us." Gu Yueyan said seriously, "It's different."
"Yes, from now on, Brother Ren, you are my big brother. I will chop down whoever you say to chop down!" Lin Xianyu patted the white rabbit so hard that it trembled, and said like a younger brother showing his loyalty.
At this time, Ren Suo heard a clear voice:
"The bond between Gu Yueyan and others has been enhanced."
"Lin Xianyu's bond has been enhanced."
Can two bonds be upgraded at once? Ren Suo was slightly stunned and said, "Is that so... From now on, Gu Yueyan, you will wash the dishes."
"Huh?" Gu Yueyan was confused.
"Negative emotions from Gu Yueyan, +233"
Du Liwei, who was standing by, didn't quite understand and asked Lin Xianyu in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
"The squad leader and Brother Ren often eat together at home. Now that the squad leader can cook, Brother Ren has to wash the dishes by himself!" Lin Xianyu said frankly.
Du Liwei and Xiaohui looked at Ren Suo differently immediately - was it because of the school's overconfidence, or was this man too coquettish, actually flirting with female students in school and even living together with them?
While they were chatting, Bai Ji and Dong Chengling came on stage. They didn't use microphones, and they didn't need to shout, but their voices still echoed throughout the banquet hall.
"I am Bai Ji, the leader of the cultivation teaching group at Tianlian University and a third-level cultivator."
"I am the deputy leader of the cultivation teaching group of Tianlian University, a third-level cultivator, Dong Chengling."
"Welcome all new students to join Tianlian. Everyone here is a gifted child recognized by the country and the school..."
"The Taoyuan monks' attack on the bus just now was a 'stealing secrets' plan led by the country and implemented by the school. The stealing secrets plan is..."
"As compensation, all students will receive 8,000 wristband points and subsequent training rewards..."
Bai Ji and Dong Chengling were the strongest third-turn monks in the school. They were also handsome men and beautiful women themselves. They quickly calmed the students down. When they heard about the compensation, the students even cheered - they already knew that wristband points were almost equivalent to money in the school.
"The 'Heavenly Secrets' plan is not meaningless," Bai Ji said, "In the 30-minute attack, four students have shown their awakening abilities. Other students who haven't awakened should not be discouraged. After moving into the dormitory tonight, they can calm down and recall everything that happened today. Maybe there will be a chance for awakening."
The freshmen were all stunned, but the teaching staff ate calmly - they already knew the result.
There are 16 unawakened ones, and 4 awakened ones emerged because of the secret-stealing ritual!
Even if there may be students who hide their awakened abilities, this is the result. The most important thing is to prove that the ritual of stealing secrets is indeed feasible. The teaching syllabus of the Practitioner University will definitely change as a result.
Dong Chengling said: "Students please check your body carefully when you go back tonight. If the injury is serious, please go to the school hospital for treatment immediately. If you have other questions, you can call me and Teacher Bai. We will do our best to solve the problems that students have."
"Also, the Heaven-stealing Secrets Ceremony is a confidential matter. Please do not spread the relevant information online except for your family members. Otherwise, if you are found, you will be punished at the least or expelled from school at the worst! Do you understand?"
As soon as Dong Chengling finished speaking, the students rushed to answer: "I understand!"
Dong Chengling's teleportation skills and combat abilities left a deep impression on them. He was also a serious person, and in just a dozen minutes he established a majestic image in the students' minds.
On the contrary, Bai Ji was handsome, had great taste in clothes, was kind to others, and always had a smile on his face, which made the students like him.
"Teacher Dong and Teacher Bai are such a good match." Huang Xuehui couldn't help but say, "One is handsome and gentle, the other is beautiful and strict, and they are both so strong, and their division of labor and cooperation complement each other... Yueyan, you studied in the academy before, do you know their gossip?"
Gu Yueyan blinked: "Well... I haven't heard of this. Teacher Dong practices diligently every day and rarely leaves home."
"By the way, Xiaoyu, didn't you say that Teacher Bai saved you?" Huang Xuehui said again.
"No, it was Brother Ren who saved us. Teacher Bai turned his back and tried to protect us when the sports car was falling down." Lin Xianyu answered honestly.
"In the face of danger, he did not panic, but used his body to protect the female student at the first moment!"
Huang Xuehui's eyes sparkled. She tugged at Du Liwei's sleeve and said, "Did you see that? Learn well! We want to become a couple like this in the future!"
Du Liwei touched his short hair and said, "I can't learn it, I can't learn it... Besides, I think it's not good to make fun of others as a couple, right?"
"Tsk, Mr. Bai is handsome, gentle, considerate and responsible. Mr. Dong is beautiful, strong, self-respecting, and motivated. They are a perfect match. How can you, a monster, object?" Huang Xuehui poked Du Liwei's waist and scolded with a smile.
At the same time, the three girls except Huang Xuehui glanced at Ren Suo, and Zhao Huo, the only demon at the banquet, sighed in a low voice with his dead face: "Brother, why don't you just... forget it?"
"...Why did you put an end to my situation without my permission?" Ren Suo, with a zombie-like face, seemed to have no expression.
Because at this time, he heard another voice.
——————
"This is fine."
Outside the banquet hall, Bai Ji took Dong Chengling to the corridor illuminated by moonlight. There was no one in front or behind, and the bustle of the banquet hall seemed to be a distant sound.
Bai Ji turned around and looked at Dong Chengling seriously. Dong Chengling still maintained a calm expression, as if nothing could shake her.
"I'm sorry, but I want to ask, um, do you have a lover?"
As expected, Dong Chengling sighed inwardly. She was usually very careful not to give anyone the chance to misunderstand her, but she didn't expect...
But Dong Chengling had anticipated this and prepared for it. She calmed down and asked softly, "Are you serious? Don't let other people's comments affect your own heart."
"Of course I'm serious, and I don't care what others say!" Bai Ji took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He looked at Dong Chengling with eyes that seemed to have little stars popping out of them, and his expression was incomparably firm.
"I think Ren Suo is such a great person!"
