Chapter 757 Turbulent Undercurrents (3.5k)
Off the field, time continued to pass. The teams collided with each other. Within the four different buff zones, each zone contained participants from different schools, and their rankings were displayed on the electronic screen.

As the rankings continued down, aside from the captain of Bai Niao Yi Gao, many were celebrities within their respective schools, considered top talents even before their awakening.
Even the director of Jiang Hai High School sighed slightly, “Bai Niao Yi Gao has truly hidden its strength. A High-Rank Battle General student who doesn’t usually reveal their power.”
Mr. Niu simply looked at the screen, trying to find that interesting girl. However, even when the rankings reached twentieth place at [250], he still hadn’t seen her.
“That shouldn’t be right?”
His eyes showed a hint of disappointment…
In a corner of the training area, dense forests were scattered, with white figures occasionally streaking across the sky. In one spot, a fire was burning, and several students were gathered around a slightly pudgy student, discussing a recent strange event – the appearance of Xiao Yan in the wild in their own high school.
“Heh heh…”
The slightly chubby boy chuckled, scanned his surroundings, and then put on a nonchalant look, raising his voice, “Mr. Shishen is my brother, Fatty. The day he awakened, he was told he had an A-class bloodline, so we got drunk that night. The next day, he told me he found a very powerful master. Guess how powerful that master is?”
The people below shook their heads. Looking at Fatty’s face, someone tentatively asked, “Is it Battle King Level?”
“Battle King Level?”
Fatty showed a look of disdain, then looked at the leaderboard with a profound expression, a hint of longing in his eyes. “He said a fisherman who called himself White Crow found him and wanted to be his master. As for how strong he is, Shenzi said there’s a large halo behind that person’s head.”
“Halo?”
The students didn’t understand. After all, some things were not taught in high school textbooks.
“Yes, a halo. We specifically looked up what this is…”
Fatty nodded lightly, his excitement almost uncontrollable, even starting to gesticulate wildly.
“This is the Law Halo that only High-Rank Battle Kings possess! Shi Shen’s rapid growth is due to his guidance.”
“Grandpa in the ring!!”
Fatty’s classmates exclaimed in unison, showering him with flattering words, their eyes shining with envy. Wasn’t this exactly like the “Grandpa in the Ring” from novels?
The ability to transform the ordinary into geniuses in the eyes of others without any effort, earning the praise of parents and teachers.
Who says ordinary people don’t have opportunities?
The sounds of envy continued until a short boy asked, “Then, Fatty, you have a B-class bloodline. Did you ask him how he could help you reach such a high cultivation level?”
“Am I not Half-General Level now? It’s all thanks to Shenzi’s master…”
Upon hearing this, Fatty paused, a flicker of longing in his eyes, which quickly vanished. He played along with the others and found an excuse to go relieve himself.
Darting into a forest, Fatty pulled a small scroll from his pocket. The scroll was inscribed with an inverted cross symbol. After glancing around, he spread the scroll flat on the ground.
“Almost forgot about this treasure. All I need to do is place this outside the circle of the Red Name Zone.”
A faint bloody glow emerged but was quickly and carefully rolled up by Fatty. He hadn’t forgotten the request of the man wearing the white mask…
“As for its effects, they have nothing to do with me, Fatty.”
His eyes slightly reddened, his desires amplified. Every time he thought about reaching the Battle General level in high school, his heart would itch.
As long as the mission was completed, he would receive a martial arts infusion like Zhang Wuji.
…
In the training area, south of the loess plateau, in the region where Su Jiu and others were located.
On the blowing yellow hills, a piece of loess suddenly trembled. Several figures flashed out from the side, then leaped lightly off the ground like antelopes, charging forward again. Sounds of conversation kept arising.
“Why are there so few monsters near the south? Have they all been hunted?”
“It feels like they’ve been driven away, but if we go further south, we’ll reach the Red Name Zone bordering the forest.”
After several repeated leaps, they suddenly stopped as if they had discovered something. They quickly surrounded a black-shelled poisonous scorpion the size of a stone stool. Someone exclaimed with pleasant surprise, “This Half-General Level black-shelled poisonous scorpion is worth fifty points. Team Leader, we can head to the Red Name Zone ahead of schedule this time.”
The black-shelled poisonous scorpion kept shifting its steps, its body rubbing against the ground with a “sizzling” sound, as if trying to scare away the people in front of it.
“Don’t rush, there’s movement!”
As the students from Class A completely surrounded the area and prepared to strike, the leading young man, Lin Feng, suddenly raised his hand. The other four figures immediately took a defensive stance and cast confused glances at him.
“Team Leader, what’s wrong?”
“Sizzle…”
The Half-General Level black-shelled scorpion, surrounded by the crowd, also seemed to sense something and became extremely agitated. Its pincers emitted a翠紫 light, as if accumulating power, ready to strike.
“There’s a very powerful aura nearby. It’s not lurking, so it’s likely going to steal our prey.”
Lin Feng scanned his surroundings, his expression slightly unnatural. He actually encountered someone he couldn’t defeat here. That aura, without concealing it with mental power, was probably intentionally meant to intimidate him.
He clenched his sweating palms. Who could it be?
Is it a genius of the same level from Tian Yi High School, or that monster from Bai Niao Yi Gao?
Hearing what the leader, Lin Feng, said, the students were somewhat taken aback. They hadn’t sensed any approaching aura. However, this was still a practical training session, and it was rumored that Battle General Level monsters existed within.
“Team Leader Lin, where is the attacker located now?”
It was best to wait obediently. The four students could only nod slightly, and then the five of them adopted a defensive formation, almost simultaneously drawing their weapons. Colorful external qi surged from their hands.
“In the…”
Lin Feng softly replied, preparing to use his mental power to probe the surroundings thoroughly. Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he violently turned his head back, roaring,
“Right beside us! Alert!!”
Just as his words fell, a faint whistling sound of air breaking through was heard, and then a figure gradually emerged. With almost no pause, they could only see the purple line of light drawn by the dagger in the figure’s hand.
“Crack!”
The students could barely resist. All they could hear was the sound of a sharp blade piercing the carapace. When they looked over, they saw a few drops of green fluid shooting out from the black-shelled poisonous scorpion, landing on the ground beside them and emitting “sizzling” white smoke.
“Bang.”
Accompanied by a burst of sound, a familiar figure landed in the center of the encirclement, head bowed, using the corner of her school uniform to wipe the poisonous blood off the blade. Her chest rose and fell slightly, her face showing excitement. She muttered,
“I need to pack it up quickly. The score sheet is with the class leader.”
When these people reacted and looked closely, the black-shelled poisonous scorpion they had been apprehending for a long time was already lifeless, only leaking poisonous blood.
“You are…”
Lin Feng stared intently at the figure before him, looking through the scattering dust. After watching the figure put the scorpion into a storage bag, he couldn’t believe his eyes and exclaimed, “Guan Xiaorong?”
Then he tried to make out her face through the dust, shook his head again, and whispered, “No, how is that possible? She’s only at the High-Rank Warrior level. Such speed and strength cannot just be High-Rank Warrior.”
Glancing at him, Guan Xiaorong didn’t linger and darted off towards another area, leaving the stunned group behind.
“There seems to be a formation under her feet…”
Looking at the rapidly departing back, Lin Feng fell into thought, then suddenly looked up, a shock in his eyes, “Is it that Little Priest!? How is that possible!”
“What’s wrong, Team Leader?”
Someone approached. Since combat was not allowed in this zone, they didn’t intercept the figure but instead asked Lin Feng about his condition.
Hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at the person, spat on the ground, and repeatedly stamped it with his running shoes. Only after the loess covered the saliva did he say fiercely,
“Perhaps we’ve misjudged. Those four from Class D really have something.”
“Is it them? But…”
Many students showed surprised expressions.
Waving to interrupt one of them, Lin Feng looked grimly to the south and said in a low voice,
“We need to get into the Red Name Zone faster and rendezvous with Huang Shi’s team. According to the rules, most of those monsters should be in the Red Name Zone, and those who arrive first in the Red Name Zone get a buff. Many people might be camping at the borders.”
Anyone who can get into Fuzhou’s top high school is generally not stupid, even those who got in through connections.
…
At the previous location, from a distance, a girl was seen cradling another little loli like a doll, occasionally feeding her some grilled meat.
“Is it delicious? Sister Sisi?”
Extending a leg to prop up the small BNIS sitting in front of her, Su Jiu leaned her head on the latter’s tender shoulder, fiddling with the “little doll.”
“Su Su… Senior Sister, don’t do this, I…”
A wine-red color spread across her face. BNIS lowered her head, her small backside shifting under her long hair. However, her thigh was lifted, pulling her backward. Then, the thigh relaxed, and she slid forward again, her hair trailing.
Su Jiu could feel that after becoming a loli, the little butt had less flesh but was very bouncy. It was a very peculiar experience.
Using the momentum to push herself up, the little loli’s feet landed on the ground. Her rosy cheeks puffed out, and she said somewhat displeasedly, “Miss, don’t fool around anymore. We have important business to attend to in here.”
“Hee hee.”
Reaching out to poke the rosy cheeks, Su Jiu laughed again as she heard the “poof poof…” sound of air escaping. This smaller BNIS didn’t have the sweetness of the larger one, but exuded a sense of cuteness.
“Miss!”
Hearing the laughter, after her mouth was poked, BNIS also revealed Su Jiu’s signature dead fish eyes.
Knowing that the other party was a little unhappy, Su Jiu asked with concern, “What exactly is the situation now? Why did you suddenly become so tiny?”
“It’s all your fault, Miss…”
BNIS glared at her. Although she originally intended to conceal it, she honestly explained the reason: After being reborn into this body, her actual form was a grown-up loli, but she could transform into her adult form at any time.
After all, the medication couldn’t make her skip growth directly to her final form. The repair fluid could only repair the body; transformation was a special skill of hers.
If there were strong emotional fluctuations during this period, or if the body experienced special conditions, it would revert to its original form. If forced to revert to her original form, it would take nearly a month to transform again.
This was a protection mechanism of the body, etched into her genes, and could only be changed when she reached a higher level.
“So you intentionally teased me with that form?”
Upon hearing this explanation, Su Jiu’s blood-red eyes widened slightly. She suddenly thought, if something happened and she suddenly became small out of nervousness, would her fingers get stuck inside?
“I just wanted to make Miss more comfortable at the time.”
BNIS looked at her Miss’s gaze and couldn’t help but step back slightly, subconsciously covering her plump breasts. Her face puffed up again with a slight curve. Her light blue eyes stared directly at the Blood Clan girl’s smiling face, repeatedly emphasizing, “Miss, you can’t have any ideas in this form…”
BNIS, in her grown-up loli form, seemed much more spirited than when she was in Ers, her complexion even visibly less gloomy.
As they were chatting, a voice rang out not far away. As footsteps grew closer, the figure suddenly froze in place.
“Classmate Susu, I’ve gotten the hang of it here. The class leader should be about the same. We should be able to go directly to the Red Name Zone. Wait… whose child is this?”
