At dawn, as the sun rises above the horizon, the tall clock tower of Shengtian Public School receives the first rays of sunlight.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang."

The six chimes echoed in the air, as if a switch had been flipped.

From this point onward, the entire campus became abuzz with rustling and restlessness.

At this moment, the sun had not yet reached the spire of the Administration Building, and the lurking White Owl remained in the darkness.

"Whoosh!"

Its enormous wings, adorned with alternating gray and white feathers, spread out, and its white hair, casually braided into a plait, was blown about.

The next moment, only the wind stirred up by the disrupted airflow remained in place.

And the fleeting glimpse of Painted Mask when the black highlights are lifted.

Meanwhile, a few people are now standing scattered in the lobby of the Administration Building below.

Some of the school's senior officials and representatives from the Knowledge-Seeking Society were present.

They were all dressed in formal attire and looked respectable, but in essence, they were all beasts driven by their own desires.

In the center of the crowd, a middle-aged man who deliberately revealed fluctuations in his Earth Realm level suddenly asked a question.

"Are your people all ready?"

All eyes were on him; clearly, he held the highest status in the room.

"Yes."

A young man who looked like a student answered, separated by one or two school leaders.

"The members of the Knowledge-Seeking Society are ready to take action at any time."

It is clear that he is one of the representatives of the Knowledge-Seeking Society.

The middle-aged man didn't look directly at the representative, but simply nodded casually. "Then let's begin."

However, these representatives acted as if it were their due, even speaking respectfully.

"Yes, thank you for your support, Principal Ji."

As if he had heard something that pleased him, Ji Xingbang's smile grew even brighter.

He waved his hand dismissively and said directly.

"Haha, easy! Let's go out and have a look too."

He walked at the very front of the group, stepping into the morning sun.

Just as he was about to ascend to the position of principal, stepping onto another stage in his life.

Just as this group of people walked out of the main gate, chatting and laughing, and reached the center of the square in front of the Administration Building...

Suddenly, the sunlight disappeared.

The wind suddenly rushed towards him, and Ji Xingbang didn't even have time to react.

The next second, sharp Hook Claws shot out from his chest.

He stared blankly at the person in front of him, his pupils reflecting the Painted Mask with a strange smile.

The Earth Realm First Realm vanished instantly upon impact.

Behind him, the members of the Knowledge-Seeking Society and a group of school officials who supported the usurpation of power were stunned.

Before them, not far away, was the Vice Principal's still gently beating heart.

At this moment, it is being held in someone's hand.

"Swoosh!"

Arakawa Jiushu struck her target precisely, then swiftly withdrew her hand, taking away the slightly pulsating red bead.

With a flap of its crimson wings and the fluttering of its black coat, it vanished from the crime scene in the blink of an eye.

"Ahhh--!"

A scream pierced the air, and at the same time, members of the Knowledge-Seeking Society, scattered in various locations, all took action simultaneously.

The smell of gunpowder, shouts, and terrified screams blended together.

Shengtian Public School is in complete chaos.

"Ahhh--!"

A piercing scream pierced through the walls and faintly echoed into the depths of the library.

In the darkness, Shisui closed his eyes.

His keen hearing and senses allowed him to perceive the turmoil outside the building even through its walls.

That's not enough; the chaos needs to spread further and reach wider.

As a result, the Rc Cells within Shisui's body began to surge and quickly connected with all the detached Radiant Feathers.

If we could visualize the images in Shisui's mind right now, it would be quite spectacular.

Dense specks of Radiant Feathers light covered the entire Shengtian Public School, like a galaxy that traversed every route Shisui had taken.

And without exception, all of these Radiant Feathers contain a considerable concentration of Spatial Energy.

A violent energy capable of cleaving almost anything in two.

"Bang!"

Most of the Radiant Feathers were detonated simultaneously!

The entire flowerbeds, roads, and buildings of Shengtian were instantly torn apart and shredded.

Many unfortunate students were also affected by the Spatial Turbulence and lost their lives.

The chaos escalated to an uncontrollable point, and the school authorities finally lost control.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the death of a Vice Principal should have been exposed much earlier.

Several powerful figures from the Earth Realm erupted, their auras scattering towards various Spatial Turbulences.

In addition, a Heaven Realm pressure swept directly towards the Administration Building.

At this moment, the quietly standing library suddenly became a "blank area".

The Ghoul opened its scarlet Kakugan in the shadow of the bookshelf.

Feather Powder swirled around the outside world, Steel Feathers sliced through space, and Owl Wings gathered and smoothed out the spatial fluctuations.

The next moment, Shisui disappeared on the first floor.

When Radiant Feathers erupted, it was in the square outside the library.

The sculpture standing in the center of the fountain suddenly began to tremble slightly.

The statue's fingers holding the book moved first, followed by the arms, legs, shoulders, and torso.

Finally, the sculpture's head also shed its petrified shell, completely transforming into a blindfolded youth.

He leaped lightly away from the fountain and landed gently on the ground.

The moment they stood still, faint signs of cultivation fluctuations from the Earth Realm Fifth Realm began to emerge.

"Clang, clang..."

The iron chain around the young man's waist swayed, then tightened almost imperceptibly.

The aura of the Earth Realm lingered for a moment, then dissipated into the air.

Under the rising Psychic Energy fluctuations in the distance, this fleeting fluctuation was completely imperceptible.

Just like how he stands on the fountain year after year.

"I finally have a chance to get out and stretch my muscles, why don't I go and help out?"

"But I still have to stay and look after the library."

"It should be fine if you don't watch it for too long."

"I prevented a potential danger to the library in advance, which is in accordance with regulations."

The young man muttered to himself, habitually talking to himself, as he tentatively moved away from the library.

One step, two steps, three steps,...

His pace quickened, and his strides grew longer.

Then, as if fleeing, they rushed into the chaos.

Just as Shisui failed to notice that he was sealed off, he too, eager to leave, failed to notice the unusual activity inside the library.

Meanwhile, Shisui had already ascended to the second level.

Without the Radiant Feathers Anchor, Shisui cannot open the Wormhole.

Therefore, he could only create Space Rifts very carefully.

Fortunately, thanks to the combined effect of the Owl Wings and Feather Powder, no spatial fluctuations were detected.

No one noticed that guests had arrived on the second floor of the library.

He first found the reception desk on the second floor, compared it with the layout downstairs, and then fumbled his way to the folder that recorded the location of the books.

Knowing the book's title makes determining its placement much faster.

With the sunlight streaming in through the window, Shisui easily found the section of "Soul, Body, and Psychic Energy" located on the second floor.

He took the original body from the first floor, along with the second and third rubbings that were next to it.

After finishing, Shisui tore through space again, went up to the third floor, and did the same thing again.

He could sense that the library did have an alarm system.

However, the Psychic Energy fluctuations of the alarm system may affect some books that inherently contain Psychic Energy.

To avoid interfering with book storage, the system was not installed between bookshelves.

As a spatial elementalist, it would be incredibly easy for Shisui Sui to bypass the defenses without anyone noticing.

He noted down where he was browsing the books on the third floor, and thought to himself.

We need to find the last volume on the top floor of the library before it's discovered.
