Chapter 713: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys!
“Principal, this…”
Mei Linde’s arrival indeed surprised many witches, but her decision at this moment made a lot of witches feel uneasy.
She actually handed Xiao Han over to them for resurrection; did Principal Mei have a grudge against her?
Just a moment ago, she had declared that Xiao Han was a little witch recognized by them!
It was equivalent to standing up for Xiao Han, and now she was doing this?
But no matter how one thought about it, it was impossible.
“It’s fine, let them revive Xiao Han.” Mei Linde turned to the group of witches behind her at this moment.
Though many witches were still confused, out of trust for Principal Mei, they said nothing.
“Are you sure?”
At this moment, after discussing among themselves, a Holy Angel stepped forward from the Holy Angels’ side, clad in a holy robe, with a pair of pure white wings folded behind her for protection.
Although her appearance conveyed an unapproachable purity, she also carried a gender-neutral beauty.
However… it would be better if their actions matched their aura.
During that brief discussion, the choice they faced… was too significant for the Holy Angels.
They could not bear to act against a student in front of so many witnesses.
It was about the face of the Holy Angels and the external image they had cultivated.
So in that brief conversation, the Holy Angels also expressed their demands: they could oversee the resurrection, but if successful, the Holy Angels could not be the ones to take action!
This condition must be agreed upon; otherwise, even if the resurrection succeeded, the Holy Angels wouldn’t forcefully step in.
Under duress, the other extraordinary beings had no choice but to agree.
“You are the Holy Angel most skilled in resurrection magic? I look forward to your resurrection methods,” Mei Linde said coldly.
“I wouldn’t dare claim to be the best, but I am quite proficient in general resurrection divine arts.”
The Holy Angel, after a brief display of modesty, approached the figure.
After offering a prayer in the Holy Angel’s routine manner, she spread her arms, and a wave of divine power surged from her body.
Accompanied by a celestial chant, the divine power transformed into numerous magical runes, outlining a grand resurrection ceremony.
In fact, reviving a person didn’t require such complexity; whether it was the resurrection spellbook mastered by witches, the resurrection divine arts of the Holy Angels, or the ritualistic magic of the wizards, essentially, none of them made a grand show of it.
Resurrection isn’t an act of defying fate. It is merely a fantasy of ordinary people regarding the reverence of life and d*ath.
However, the Holy Angels’ resurrection divine arts were closer to this unrealistic fantasy since they needed to showcase the miracle of divine light to ordinary people.
As the resurrection divine arts commenced, the tense atmosphere of confrontation grew thicker.
Either side could act at any moment…
But as the resurrection spell continued, aside from healing the fatal injuries of the body, there were no further surprises.
Not even the soul substance guided by the holy light returned to the vision was revealed.
The extraordinary Holy Angel performing the resurrection now had cold sweat dripping down; it seemed she was genuinely trying her best.
With the progress of the resurrection magic “stalling,” the atmosphere among the other extraordinary academies-lightened momentarily, including a slight sigh of relief from the Holy Angels.
It seemed they wouldn’t have to worry after all.
If the Holy Angel’s resurrection divine arts couldn’t revive her, then she was truly dead!
And next, they would only need to deal with the crazy revenge from the witches; it appeared that would be the outcome. But it didn’t matter; since she was dead, everything was done. They could not possibly have a vendetta over a dead person; maximizing benefits was the best choice.
And the conflict could transform into an exchange of interests, so they didn’t need to worry about deliberations.
Using resources and benefits—things that could be earned back sooner or later—to trade for a genius that could hardly be encountered was a bl**d profit!
“It seems today’s matter will not just slip past easily.”
As time passed, Mei Linde’s patience was wearing thin. When she uttered these words, it felt as if the whole atmosphere was filled with a suppressive killing intent!
Not only was it Mei Linde, but also Bai Yu behind her, along with many angry witches.
Those witches were genuinely furious!
They witnessed Xiao Han being killed right in front of them. Though there were many twists and turns regarding her d*ath, it was a fact that the resurrection divine arts couldn’t bring her back!
“This is impossible; how could Xiao Han possibly be dead like this?”
Several agitated witches pushed forward, shoving aside the Holy Angel, employing the resurrection spellbook, but the results were fruitless.
It was merely a repaired body and not a living life.
“Sorry, life is indeed fragile; the dead cannot be reborn. Perhaps we shouldn’t have arranged this exchange tournament with the premise of playing with d*ath from the start. On behalf of Holy Angel Academy, I withdraw from this exchange competition to show our respect for life during this regrettable moment…”
“Do you think I will allow you to leave like this?”
Mei Linde interrupted the Holy Angel’s intention to escape with a single line.
Mei Linde had said that if today’s matter wasn’t handled properly, they shouldn’t think of sweeping it under the rug.
She wasn’t joking!
“Mei Linde, I understand your feelings, but I must remind you that this little witch is still just a little witch; she is not yet an extraordinary witch…”
“Do you think I’m standing here to listen to you say this?” Mei Linde interrupted the other party’s irrelevant chatter with a furious roar, her tone fully displaying the intent to k*ll. “Today, if you don’t pay some price and let some felons stay here as nutrients for the expanding realm, then don’t think of getting away with this!”
As soon as Mei Linde finished speaking, before everyone could ponder whether the other side was bluffing or genuinely meant to act, a figure flashed from behind at a speed indistinguishable to everyone!
A sudden clanging sound reverberated in everyone’s ears, followed by a thud as one extraordinary Dragon Person from Dragon bl**d Academy fell to the ground.
With the figure’s fall, the unique strength of the Dragon Person, their terrifying healing abilities, and their impervious dragon-scale defense all turned into jokes!
At that moment, this extraordinary Dragon Person was decapitated like an ordinary person; as they fell, the entire body seemed to lie down in the river of time, transitioning from vibrant life to dissipated dust, within that brief moment of collapse.
The unexpected figure was Bai Yu; at this moment, she flicked the long sword in her hand, the blade gleaming with icy cold light, yet unblemished by bl**d.
Her voice was cold and suppressed, yet seemed to carry madness within calmness, expressing the uncontainable killing intent caused by her anger with an extraordinary d*ath.
“Today, none of the extraordinary from Dragon bl**d Academy will leave alive.”
“What does your Witch Academy intend to do! Do you want to instigate an extraordinary war?”
At this moment, the instantaneous d*ath of an extraordinary being touched everyone’s nerves, shattering any prior mindset of negotiating calmly in an instant.
“You cannot expect a witch who has just lost her beloved to suppress her wrath at this moment. Even if I am the head of the Witch Academy, I have no right to hinder her revenge.”
“What?”
Lost a beloved?
That little witch has an extraordinary girlfriend?!
Though such a relationship seemed absurd to many, Mei Linde’s words evidently indicated that she did not want to stop it. More importantly, if they really allowed her to unleash a massacre for this reason, they would feel as if they had poked a hornet’s nest.
Furthermore, the first strike resulted in an extraordinary being being killed!
“Stop her!”
“She’s gone mad! Help me! Don’t just stand there! Stop her! Ah…”
With the second scream, everyone realized they needed to fight back.
Perhaps due to having not witnessed killings for too long in the main world and having not seen extraordinary beings fall, they thought they misheard.
When Bai Yu’s third slash was made, they finally understood… how completely crazy this witch was!
“Holy Realm?!”
As this voice came through, several extraordinary beings who had not reached the Holy Realm quickly distanced themselves; they didn’t want to d*e in vain.
And at this moment, the extraordinary beings from Dragon bl**d Academy fell into despair!
When Xiao Han was framed and those people truly implemented this murderous scheme, it was destined that there would be bloodshed; it didn’t matter whether Xiao Han was dead or alive, these were not excuses to let them go.
Just as those extraordinary races thought they could settle things with resources and interests, the witches could also settle things with bl**d and life.
Witches were not to be trifled with.
Don’t think that witches in the main world appear so “peaceful,” but most of those who stay are retiring, while those who can’t stay have been rotated out batch by batch.
In the main world, witches were the fastest to change extraordinary mentors.
You could say witches seek fun, or perhaps hunt for thrills, or even search for the meaning of life, but slaughter and destruction almost accompanied most witches throughout their lives.
“d*mn, what kind of power is this!”
At this moment, several extraordinary beings at the Holy Realm had commenced fields to clash with Bai Yu, but they were quickly defeated in mere moments.
After all, there are disparities even among fields!
The heart realm field integrated with the five senses aligned with the sense of time.
At this moment, Bai Yu appeared to them like a god of d*ath, attacking without defense; any wounds caused by extraordinary tactics instantly turned to dust in the sands of time.
The imagery of the five senses spread throughout the heart realm field, the most prominent being transformed into pupils.
Bai Yu was from the main world, blessed by the main world; spirit vision is a talent awakened by every inhabitant of the main world eventually, so when Bai Yu, who advanced to extraordinary, touched real time, her true sight inherited the talent of spirit vision, becoming her most extraordinary ability among the five senses.
But what made Bai Yu truly terrifying was her body cultivation’s sense of time, as it was the genuine “domination” of power within the perception system of body cultivation.
Thus, even when facing the undying aspects of extraordinary life forms, in the realm intervened by the sense of time, they appeared powerless, and confronting extraordinary ones without realms was a dimension reduction strike.
The first Dragon Person extraordinary killed by Bai Yu was the most typical example of this effect.
“It’s a body-cultivation realm! She’s even cultivated the sense of time! Retreat!”
At this moment, those with insight finally realized this ability.
They were fortunate that this witch was currently targeting only the extraordinary from Dragon bl**d Academy; anyone else who tried to intervene would at most only be heavily injured.
For a moment, they felt a bit of relief.
Power brings everyone to the same competitive platform, while means distinguish the height of one’s power.
Simply pursuing power, no matter what height one reaches, makes one a weakling.
“Enough already? This witch… the extraordinary from Dragon bl**d Academy has already been eliminated by you!” At this time, the extraordinary wizard from the Wizard Academy stepped forward to speak.
Fortunately, this time the extraordinary from Dragon bl**d Academy numbered only four or five; their losses here weren’t significant.
As for an extraordinary war?
Impossible, even if deaths occurred, it wouldn’t escalate to that level. And as for the deceased from Dragon bl**d Academy…
Which extraordinary race is Dragon bl**d Academy affiliated with?
Not an extraordinary race?
Then what’s the point of discussing it!
Students from your academy colluding with Dream Demons, killing a little witch from the Witch Academy, resulting in her beloved being heartbroken, and killing a few people out of rage—what’s wrong with that?
In this main world, it is ultimately the extraordinary races who still have the final say!
Do you say the dragon race is an extraordinary race?
What’s a half-dragon, transformed from dragon bl**d, even dare to come to Dragon Descendants?
In the end, this farcical event where several extraordinary beings died concluded under the “reassurance” of other extraordinary beings and Mei Linde.
Yes, just like that, it ended.
Other extraordinary academies could see that the long-quiet witches were using this opportunity to establish their authority, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
To warn them.
Not to forget that in the past main world, the Witch Academy came in pressing all three extraordinary races to establish itself!
And the witches only established one rule upon entering.
That is a massive weakening spell covering the entire core realm.
Now that the witches mastered the skills to repair the main world, they repaired the expanding realm; in this place without “rules,” if they triggered the witches’ bottom line, they would respond with a counterstrike!
This place… was no longer the core realm.
“We express deep regret over what happened today. On behalf of all extraordinary academies, we are willing to cooperate with the Witch Academy in investigating this matter and shall transfer the students involved to the Witch Academy. We hope this handling can resolve the issue?”
At this moment, after thorough discussion, the extraordinary wizard from the Wizard Academy continued to act as the representative for negotiations.
Since the purpose of this trip had been fulfilled, the unnecessary “items” naturally needed to be utilized as waste.
Students, to the academy, were merely resources that rotated from one generation to the next.
Students couldn’t have such a far-reaching perspective, nor would they make sacrifices for the future of the race. Thus, this assassination led by students was essentially a struggle between races.
Students were just pawns.
And what was happening now was merely the disposal of a donkey after grinding the mill.
This was the life in the eyes of the extraordinary, the pawns they wanted to use to achieve their goals, sacrifices they could discard at any time.
“Hey~ did you all hear that?”
At this moment, Mei Linde did not respond to the extraordinary wizard’s question, nor did she address whether she was satisfied, but directed her words towards the students pushed out to be sacrifices and the teaching assistants.
At this moment, they were all trembling uncontrollably, their faces filled with disbelief!
Especially the students and teaching assistants from Dragon bl**d Academy; their mentor was killed like livestock, and not even a body remained, turning into weathered dust.
They were doomed!
Even the mentors from extraordinary academies could d*e!
What they once thought were the most unlikely beings to perish had all died in front of their eyes…
Thus, they fell into utter despair.
“Your academy has given up on you. Is there anything you want to say… hurry up and say it while you can.”
As Mei Linde finished speaking, the expressions of the extraordinary from other academies instantly changed!
“These students were bewitched by Abyss Demons; since they are linked to your little witch’s d*ath, I will take it upon myself to…”
Before this extraordinary wizard could finish, their spell began to brew in their hands, evidently in a posture of killing and silencing. Even so, they still recited a series of grandiose words.
“Now these people’s lives belong to the Witch Academy; try touching them!” Mei Linde snorted coldly, casually severing the other’s spell, directly ignoring their embarrassed expression.
Then she looked at those individuals, signaling them to start.
“F***! I sold my life for you wizards, and in the end, you’ve bought us off!”
“Did you truly think we wanted this? You said you’d bear the responsibility for everything, and I should never have trusted your non-human, ghostly nonsense!”
At this moment, those people vented every profane word they learned throughout their lives.
Now, there was no distinction between extraordinary beings; there remained only the difference between those with mothers and those without.
Maybe this was their last moment of glory.
Standing before… the majority of candidates for the multi-school unified examination and live broadcast, they “bravely” spoke everything out loud.
Silence; at this moment, aside from the sounds of their curses, only silence remained.
