“What is that?”
Huang Xiu’s attention was sharply focused, allowing her to spot the monster in her peripheral vision almost instantly.
“Damn it,” she muttered. “The dorm is too cramped. Neither the mutated Iron Tree nor the Osmanthus Tree can properly unleash their power here.”
Her expression abruptly shifted, realizing that among her creations, only the cactus was suited for combat in such a confined space.
It was truly a situation where she had power but nowhere to use it.
With a flicker of thought, the cactus received its command, abandoning the monkey it was on the verge of dismantling, and darted towards the girls’ dormitory, intent on dragging down the snake-like dorm supervisor who was ascending the stairs.
Huang Xiu did everything within her power.
Continuously controlling the mutated plants had significantly drained her mental energy, and the persistent lack of Aetheric energy left her utterly exhausted, her eyelids feeling as heavy as if filled with lead.
It seemed as though she would fall into a deep slumber at any moment.
“No, I can’t sleep!” the young girl suddenly jolted awake just as her eyelids threatened to fully close.
She immediately bit down hard on her tongue; the sharp pain instantly blurred her vision, yet it granted her a rare moment of clarity.
“That hurt like hell!” Huang Xiu mumbled, her tongue feeling thick.
She gasped heavily, leaning against the Osmanthus Tree, her eyes slightly narrowed as she watched the battle unfolding within the dormitory.
Just then, her small ears, seemingly sculpted from white jade, twitched abruptly.
*Thump, thump, thump!*
Footsteps, thundering like explosions, rapidly approached.
‘Who could it be?’
Doubt flickered in the girl’s mind, but before she could turn her head, a dark silhouette burst forth into the moonlight the very next second.
He kicked down the tightly locked dormitory iron door with a single blow, then crossed the entire dormitory lobby in just two strides.
Then, moving at a speed imperceptible to anyone but Huang Xiu, he caught up to the snake-like dorm supervisor, seizing its tail and dragging it down from the stairs.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!” The low sibilance of the snake’s tongue flicking fell silent amidst a flurry of thumping punches, kicks, and cries of impact.
The cactus, Huang Xiaoxian, completely disregarded martial ethics (TL Note: A common Chinese internet slang phrase, ‘bu jiang wude,’ implying a lack of sportsmanship or fair play, often used humorously to describe a sneak attack.), deeply understanding the martial arts truth of striking when an opponent is vulnerable.
It went straight for it, ‘Tricking them! Attacking them by surprise!’
Seizing the opportunity while the snake-like dorm supervisor was caught and dragged down by Yun Ning, it launched into a barrage of wild, flailing punches and kicks.
Though its fists were small, their power was considerable; wherever they landed, sharp thorns would sprout, piercing deep into flesh.
‘Normal attacks deal true damage. Do you like this little cactus?’
“An interesting creature,” Yun Ning observed, recognizing the cactus as Huang Xiu’s ability-created construct, and paid it no further mind.
This snake-like dorm supervisor possessed considerable physical strength, far surpassing that of the previous fox security guard.
Yet, compared to him, it was still vastly inferior.
“Void Art—Aetheric Imbue!” A faint white glow suddenly shimmered around his right hand.
*Swish!*
His right hand transformed into a blade, slicing downwards with the ease of a hot knife through butter; the massive snake head flew off, struck the ceiling, and ultimately rolled across the floor with a gurgling sound.
Dark green snake blood immediately gushed forth from the headless body like a fountain.
Yun Ning passed through the iron door and arrived at the base of the Osmanthus Tree, casting a brief glance at the girl perched upon it.
He then turned his head to look at the boys’ dormitory diagonally opposite, a faint, almost imperceptible white light flickering in his eyes.
“The situation is urgent. I’ll deal with the monster in the boys’ dormitory first. Huang Xiu, please lead them to evacuate.”
Both the boys’ and girls’ dormitories had supervisors.
If the girls’ dorm supervisor was a Void Realm monster, then the boys’ dorm supervisor was undoubtedly one as well.
“Understood.” Huang Xiu nodded her small head like a rattle-drum, her face a picture of relief.
The reinforcements had finally arrived; if they hadn’t, she would have collapsed from exhaustion!
“Oh, right, Senior Yun,” Huang Xiu quickly asked, “did you see a boy? Tall and thin, the one who ran towards the school gate?”
“Don’t worry, he’s fine. He should be out by now,” Yun Ning replied softly.
Seeing the girl’s forehead beaded with sweat and her pale face, a flicker of apology crossed his eyes.
“I apologize, I arrived late.”
He knew Huang Xiu was reluctant to use her ability due to its cost.
Yet, in this critical moment, to protect her classmates, she had stepped forward and employed her power.
“It’s nothing!” Huang Xiu waved her hand dismissively. “You should hurry to the boys’ dormitory!”
If Yun Ning didn’t go to the boys’ dormitory soon, she feared her own roommates—her “good sons”—would be in grave danger.
Watching the young man depart, Huang Xiu turned her gaze to the girls’ dormitory, intending to guide the girls in their evacuation.
“Quickly, gather your things and come down!” she shouted, waving her hand to summon the boarders from the girls’ dormitory.
She was afraid some girls might still be trying to put on makeup or bring along useless items at such a moment.
She then ordered the cactus to go up and search each dormitory room.
She herself descended from the Osmanthus Tree giant, planning to go to the girls’ dormitory to personally direct the evacuation.
The girl leaped down from the Osmanthus Tree, but she had clearly overestimated her stamina.
Her legs felt dead with fatigue; the moment she landed, she almost lost her footing and nearly collapsed to her knees.
Fortunately, the tree was still nearby, allowing her to brace herself.
‘How embarrassing, I almost knelt directly in front of everyone.’
She thumped her uncooperative thighs, enduring the soreness as she walked into the girls’ dormitory.
Before she even fully entered the dormitory lobby, the pungent smell of blood made Huang Xiu wrinkle her small nose.
On the ground, blood had pooled into veritable puddles.
Red and green substances, resembling snake gallbladders, had oozed out from the headless torso.
The sight made Huang Xiu feel a wave of nausea.
‘Senior Yun is a bit too violent…’ she thought, suppressing the urge to vomit as she ascended the stairwell.
Several girls were standing at the top of the stairs, too horrified by the bloody scene in the lobby to descend.
“Don’t just stand there! Grit your teeth and push through!”
Huang Xiu herself was struggling immensely.
With the adrenaline fading, her body felt as soft as a silicone dummy, making it difficult even to stand steadily.
However, she was the only one in charge here, so Huang Xiu had to force herself to remain alert and strong.
‘I’m a man!’ she mentally rallied herself.
“Everyone, check if your roommates are still in your dorms!” the girl commanded loudly from the hallway, directing the girls downstairs.
Before her transformation, she was 1.78 meters tall; even after shrinking slightly, she still stood at 1.72 meters.
While not short among girls, she wasn’t particularly tall either, and paired with her adorable face, she resembled a doll.
Yet, it was precisely this Huang Xiu who instilled a strong sense of security in the girls present.
They descended the stairs in an orderly fashion, taking over ten minutes for all the boarders to finally reach the dormitory lobby.
Many girls, seeing the blood and gore splattered across the floor, turned pale with revulsion and vomited incessantly.
But Huang Xiu was powerless to do anything about it.
She instructed the girls to remain in the lobby for now, then found the roommates of the dazed girl, telling them to take the prepared clothes and help her change.
Once all preparations were complete, Huang Xiu looked towards the boys’ dormitory, a hint of anxiety appearing on her face.
‘Senior Yun isn’t back yet. Has something happened?’
The Osmanthus Tree giant knelt on one knee, extending its right hand, and Huang Xiu sat upon it, being gently placed onto its shoulder.
“Forget it, never mind!” she called out. “We’re leaving first!”
She was no foolish roe deer; she could naturally discern that something was deeply amiss and suspicious about tonight’s events.
The arrival of the Void Realm was a mystical affair, best left undiscussed for now.
However, only Yun Ning had arrived as reinforcement, with the other Ability Users, including Professor Yuan, conspicuously absent.
This point made absolutely no sense.
Huang Xiu had been pondering this question while directing the girls downstairs.
She finally arrived at a conclusion that made her tremble.
That was… Ying City was in such chaos tonight that there simply weren’t enough people available to come and assist them.
