Professor Yuan cleared his throat twice, stepped forward, and laid out his conjectures to Huang Xiu in full detail.
“Wait, this transformation…” Huang Xiu pointed at herself. “Is it a side effect of my own superpower?”
“I wouldn’t call it a side effect. More accurately, it’s a completion, an evolution of the flesh,” Professor Yuan corrected. “It’s the result of the ability resonating with the body.”
“No, this is a side effect!” Huang Xiu tilted her head back and sighed deeply.
She didn’t care about evolution or resonance. She only knew she had gone from being a boy to a girl.
So why did this happen?
She had finally obtained the superpower she’d always dreamed of, won the chance for an exciting life.
Two happy occasions, coinciding.
How did it come to this?
“Can I change back?” Huang Xiu stared straight at Professor Yuan.
“As far as we know, physical completion is irreversible.” Professor Yuan was already sweating under the question.
He had taught many students and encountered all kinds of situations, but this was his first time dealing with something like Huang Xiu’s case.
“Heh.”
Huang Xiu hugged her arms and laughed coldly, her heart bleak.
His life, the ordinary life of a high school sophomore named Huang Xiu, was completely over.
An avid netizen, she knew about TG fiction and understood what this sudden transformation meant.
She could never return to the high school classroom, never game with Shi Lei again, never hear her classmates call her “Xiu Ge” with that teasing yet familiar tone.
And she could never again quietly gaze at Fang Miaoqing’s back in the classroom, or calmly greet her each day.
Damn it, that was all she wanted! Why did she have to lose even that?
Huang Xiu clenched her fists.
Her sharp nails dug into her palms instantly, but the sharp pain made her loosen her grip reflexively.
Even her sense of pain was this much stronger now?
Or…
A wave of intense grievance surged up, and her eyes instantly misted over.
They said women were made of water, that they were crybabies, but she wasn’t. Even though her physical s*x had changed, her heart was still male.
She couldn’t cry!
Huang Xiu raised her head. The mist blurred the world before her. A sour sting filled her nose, making her want to sob.
But she held it in. She lowered her head again. Her eyes were slightly red, but otherwise calm.
Her long black hair, freed from restraint as she looked up and down, finally fell loose.
A few strands slipped into her collar, slid across her soft cheeks, tickling wherever they touched.
Huang Xiu had to gently brush her hair behind her ear.
It was a very natural motion.
For a woman, of course.
So when she realized what she had done, Huang Xiu exploded.
“Aaaah!” She grabbed her head and shook it like a groundhog, raging helplessly.
Too feminine!
How could she make such a gesture?
Her male heart must not waver!
“I’m shaving it off! Going bald!” Huang Xiu declared, with the air of a tragic hero.
“Ahem.”
Professor Yuan was speechless. He knew he couldn’t let Huang Xiu dwell on this any longer.
Otherwise, something bad was bound to happen.
He shot a glance at Yun Ning, and the young man understood.
“Classmate Huang, now that you’ve successfully awakened, you should be able to use your own ability, right?” Yun Ning stepped forward. “Why not give it a try?”
“Ability. Right, there’s still this ability.” Huang Xiu ground her teeth in hatred.
She wanted to see what kind of lousy ability could make him turn into her.
According to Professor Yuan, upon awakening, a special naturally understands how to use their ability.
It was as simple as swallowing or breathing.
So all she had to do was feel it. Her body would give her the answer.
She slowly closed her eyes. Her long lashes trembled.
What was her ability… and how did she use it?
She dug deep into her heart for the method.
With her eyes shut, there was only darkness, with light filtering through her eyelids giving a faint red glow.
After an unknown time, at some moment, even that faint red light vanished.
In the darkness, a sphere of mingled red and green light slowly rose like a sun.
Huang Xiu unconsciously reached out and touched the sphere with her fingertip.
Gradually, she understood everything.
After a long while, Huang Xiu opened her eyes and looked at Professor Yuan. “I understand how to use my ability, but I need a space and some plants.”
“That’s easy.” Professor Yuan pointed around them. “Classmate Huang, take a look. Where are we?”
Hearing that, Huang Xiu noticed how strange the surroundings were.
It was like a hotel lobby, but without a front desk, rest area, stairs, or exits.
Instead, there were rows of elevators spaced evenly apart.
Just glancing at the wall opposite her, she counted at least a hundred elevators.
All of them were in operation, their red digital displays changing numbers.
“Is this the Myriad Realms Transit Station?” Huang Xiu realized where she was.
It seemed that while she was unconscious, the elevator had reached the top floor, the Myriad Realms Transit Station.
“Yes, this is the Myriad Realms Transit Station, a place that connects all the Void Realms.” Professor Yuan spread his arms and turned around. “From here, we can go to any known or unknown Void Realm.”
“So where are we going next?” Huang Xiu temporarily put aside the frustration of her transformation.
She didn’t want to think about it anymore, because the more she did, the angrier she got. Her whole body trembled with rage.
“Follow me.” Professor Yuan led the two of them toward the nearest elevator. “Those with an elevator card can record the locations of three fixed Void Realms on it.”
They stepped into the elevator. Professor Yuan smiled. “The one I’m taking you to is a very beautiful Void Realm.”
“A beautiful Void Realm?” Huang Xiu shook her head. She couldn’t imagine a Void Realm being beautiful.
In her impression, Void Realms were eerie, terrifying, with a cold and sinister atmosphere.
Like the Endless Corridor or the Flesh World…
Seeing what Huang Xiu was thinking, Professor Yuan swiped his elevator card and pressed the button for the fifth floor.
“As I told you before, Void Realms are formed from the mental fantasies of intelligent beings. Most intelligent beings easily generate emotions of fear, so there are many terrifying and grotesque Void Realms.”
The elevator doors closed. Below the red number “7” representing the floor, a downward arrow appeared.
Opposite to their journey to the Myriad Realms Transit Station, the elevator always went down when leaving.
“But that doesn’t mean there are no beautiful, peaceful Void Realms.”
In just a few seconds, a soft chime sounded from the car.
“Ding. Fifth floor.”
The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a dazzling sea of flowers.
