Chapter 187 Something's Wrong
Xiao Ruoshui's phoenix eyes, which always held a thousand charms, curved into two beautiful crescent moons at this moment. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice carried a faint smile, as gentle as a feather brushing against the heart.
"Young man, you seem a bit nervous."
However, Lin Qiye had no time to appreciate the teasing and probing in the conversation.
Every cell in his body was screaming and shouting wildly. The intense hunger originating from the depths of his genes, like the most primal instinct, instantly overwhelmed all fear and vigilance.
He didn't care about being impolite and continued to tilt his head back and gulp it down!
The icy liquid and the scalding energy, at this critical moment, not only filled the emptiness in his body, but also forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart.
His mind was racing at top speed.
No... The most likely reason is that I didn't perfectly control the commotion from my previous level nine breakthrough, and she must have noticed something, which is why she appeared here!
He had perfectly suppressed his aura during his breakthrough to the tenth level of the extreme realm!
She couldn't possibly know!
He has now reached the pinnacle and can perfectly simulate any level of martial arts will.
Perhaps her own martial arts will has not reached its peak?
If Lin Yuechan is only at the peak of level 6 Condensation, then even if Xiao Ruoshui is stronger, she should only be at level 8 or 9.
As long as she doesn't reach the extreme, she will never see through my disguise!
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye's wildly beating heart finally calmed down a little.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
After consuming a whole box of nutrient solution, his stomach felt bloated, and the hunger that was almost devouring him was finally suppressed for the time being.
I was still very hungry, but I could barely bear it.
Lin Qiye exhaled a long breath of stale air, carrying the sweet fragrance of nutrient solution, before raising his head and forcing a slightly apologetic smile.
"Excuse me, Principal Xiao," he said frankly, "I'm just too hungry from cultivating. Is there...is there something you need?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoshui not only did not reply, but instead took a leisurely stroll among the pile of empty bottles with great interest.
Her captivating phoenix eyes swept casually across the training room.
"Little guy, your cultivation is making quite a racket."
She stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Qiye with a half-smile.
That gaze seemed to penetrate his skin and see through everything he was pretending to be.
Lin Qiye's internal alarm bells rang, but he maintained his composure on the surface, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to have made the principal laugh."
Xiao Ruoshui frowned.
That earth-shattering martial will, though fleeting, originated from this building and this area.
Therefore, even Xiao Ruoshui could not pinpoint its exact source in an instant.
She could only act like a patient hunter, starting with the most likely targets and rooms, checking them one by one.
However, they came up with no results along the way.
The boy in front of me.
Although his aura was refined and pure, his outward martial will was at most at the peak of the Condensation Realm.
For a student who has just entered university, this is already an extraordinary talent.
But compared to that almost sky-piercing will to return to the ultimate state of truth just now, it's still the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
It doesn't seem like it either...
Xiao Ruoshui's phoenix eyes, which always held a thousand charms, narrowed slightly at this moment, a sharp light flashing in them.
The next instant, a terrifying martial will as solid as a mountain and as heavy as a peak suddenly erupted from her charming and beautiful body without warning!
[Martial Will - Unyielding as a Rock]!
This will appeared for only a moment, but it seemed to increase the gravity of the entire training room tenfold, making the air thick and stagnant!
However, in Lin Qiye's perception of his extreme martial intent, this will, though powerful, was like a mountain crashing into a star, unable to shake him in the slightest.
But his body reacted in the most realistic way.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant, he staggered back half a step uncontrollably, and his breath caught in his throat. His eyes, which had been calm just moments before, were instantly filled with horror and disbelief!
Xiao Ruoshui took in his reaction. The last trace of inquiry in her sharp phoenix eyes quietly disappeared, replaced by a faint disappointment and a deeper doubt.
She frowned her pretty brows.
It wasn't this boy either?
She felt something was off... She carefully examined Lin Qiye's angular face, and a flash of insight struck her, and she suddenly remembered.
"You're the top freshman, Lin Qiye?"
"Yes, Principal Xiao!"
Xiao Ruoshui nodded slightly, and a genuine smile of appreciation finally appeared on her pretty face, which always carried a hint of languor.
"Excellent, over 40% genetic potential, no wonder you're the top freshman..."
"But young man, you're really starving. If you keep going like this, you'll soon be dried up."
As she spoke, she lightly raised her hand, and with a flick of her fair wrist, a bottle of potion flowing with dazzling light appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Here, try this.
With a flick of her finger, the vial of medicine transformed into a streak of light, flying steadily to Lin Qiye's side and hovering motionless.
Lin Qiye looked up at Xiao Ruoshui's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His heart pounded and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Is it poisonous? Is it a scam?
But these thoughts only lasted for a moment before he forcibly suppressed them.
Pointless.
Given the strength Xiao Ruoshui has demonstrated, if she really wanted to do something to him, she wouldn't be able to move a single finger; there was no need for such trouble.
He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Drink it straight away?"
"Otherwise what?" Xiao Ruoshui looked at Lin Qiye with great interest.
Without hesitation, Lin Qiye drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine instantly transformed into a scalding torrent that rushed into his stomach, then exploded!
The heat was not burning, but rather like soaking in the finest hot spring. An indescribable warmth surged from the deepest part of his body, frantically nourishing his parched soul.
The excruciating hunger I felt earlier was being dispelled at an astonishing speed by this domineering yet gentle energy!
So comfortable...
Lin Qiye was so comfortable that he wanted to shout out loud immediately.
Before Lin Qiye could even express his gratitude, the alluring figure before him vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed, like water vapor dissolving into the air.
If it weren't for the empty bottle in his hand and the faint, rich fragrance lingering in the air, Lin Qiye might have thought that everything just now was just his illusion.
Is this... a powerful being from the mysterious realm?
Lin Qiye was filled with mixed emotions, wondering when he would be able to step into this realm beyond the ordinary.
At the same time, the huge weight that had been hanging high in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He made the right bet.
This charming vice principal, as expected, hasn't reached the pinnacle!
His disguise successfully fooled her.
…………
At this moment, Xiao Ruoshui had already appeared in the next training room.
She hovered silently in mid-air, like a ghost that never existed, looking down at those below.
None of the teachers or students inside were aware of her presence.
The purple-haired female teacher, still shaken, analyzed the situation for her students: "You all experienced that oppressive force just now, didn't you? That was the martial will of the Returning to Truth Realm! I don't know which colleague broke through here, but for you, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for enlightenment..."
Xiao Ruoshui's gaze swept over them, then she shook her head in disappointment.
It wasn't them either.
She was about to leave when she suddenly stopped, her phoenix eyes, which always held a thousand charms, narrowed abruptly, a hint of doubt flashing across them.
wrong……
She finally remembered what had been off about Lin Qiye earlier...
