The next morning, Xu Ning let out a loud sigh. Although he had been cultivating for the whole night, he did not feel sleepy. Instead, he was in high spirits.

“I’ve cultivated the first level to perfection.”

With the help of the kidney treasure pills, Xu Ning’s first level of the [Eternal Dragon Elephant Technique] had finally reached perfection.

Feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, Xu Ning whispered, “Open the panel.”

[Name: Xu Ning]

[Race: Normal human]

[Strength: 71 (Peak level of normal human 10)]

[Agility: 67 (Peak level of normal human 10)]

[Thinking: 53 (Peak level of normal human 10)]

[Yang Qi: 1,250 (Peak level of normal human 100)]

[Remaining strengthening points: 0]

“1,250 points of Yang Qi. I didn’t expect to gain 320 points of Yang Qi after completing it. This is quite a good harvest. It’s just that I’m not sure on how to proceed… I don’t have any information on demons. I don’t know how to find low-level demons.”

As Xu Ning thought about the problem, he felt a headache forming. He could not defeat a middle-level demon, so he could only find a lower-level demon to bully. However, he did not have any information and did not even know where to begin.

“Forget it. Let’s go to class first. There’s still class at nine o’clock today.”

After saying that, Xu Ning took a shower and started walking to school.

…

In the classroom, Xu Ning pretended to be listening to the class attentively, but he was constantly on the web searching for news on the supernatural using his laptop.

He wanted to find some places that were haunted where he would not catch the attention of any normal folks. However, no matter how he searched, the rumored haunted places were bustling with people.

Through his search, Xu Ning managed to find a news article stating that an office building nearby suddenly caught on fire…causing everyone in it to burn to death. There was no logical explanation to the fire.

Xu Ning did not need to even think about it. He immediately knew that it was the work of the evil mage that Aili talked about previously. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to face the mage yet.

Suddenly, a sharp ringtone pierced through the lecture hall and interrupted Teacher Zhou who was on the stage lecturing. Teacher Zhou frowned as he realized it was his phone. He hated being interrupted in the middle of class.

However, after he picked up the call, the displeasure on his face turned serious.

“Okay, I understand.”

Teacher Zhou hung up the phone and looked around at the students. Then, he asked, “Is Student Xu Ning here?”

When he heard the teacher calling him, Xu Ning quickly stood up. “Teacher, I’m here!”

Those who skipped classes often overreacted when they heard the teacher calling them.

“Very good. Your counselor is looking for you to go to their office. Hurry up and go. There seems to be an urgent matter.”

Teacher Zhou said straightforwardly.

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about how he had not been skipping any classes and have not been committing any crimes, he calmed down.

Then he thought about what Yi Guang and Chen Zhong had said earlier. It probably involved someone from the government.

After thanking Teacher Zhou, Xu Ning went to the counselor’s office.

He gently knocked on the office door. After receiving a response from the person inside, Xu Ning pushed the door open and entered.

He realized that there were only two people in the huge office. One was his counselor, Teacher He, and the other was a middle-aged man in a green military uniform. It was worth mentioning that this middle-aged man was old, his face was still handsome, and there were many similarities between his appearance and Xu Ning’s.

“…”

Xu Ning’s gaze stopped on the man’s face. For a moment, the three of them did not speak. The office fell into an awkward silence.
