Meanwhile.

In the conference room, only a few important leaders and Tang Zichen remained.

The vice principal had asked all other teachers to leave.

"Student Tang Zichen, the following questions are quite important, and they are from higher authorities."

The vice principal's expression turned serious. "Originally, the principal himself should have asked these questions, but he is currently on the front lines providing support and cannot return for now."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zichen's pretty face remained calm as she asked a question she was curious about: "Principal, how is the situation in Magic City?"

"It's almost stable!"

The vice principal looked pleased. "Under the suppression of Ms. Qin and the others, the monster tide has been basically brought under control. They are now rebuilding the City Defense Wall, and if all goes smoothly, it will be completed in two months. Then the principal can return and bring us back to Magic City."

Although the vice principal wore a smile when he said this, Tang Zichen somehow felt his smile was a bit forced.

It made sense, if Principal Lu were to fall, wouldn't he smoothly take over and drop the "vice" from his title?

"Ms. Qin is truly amazing. It's said that she made another breakthrough ten days ago, drawing a meteorite from outer space to directly kill tens of thousands of monsters, thus deciding the battle and stabilizing the situation."

"Such methods are no different from the legendary immortal arts. She truly is the Pillar of the Sea of our Xia Country!"

As the vice principal spoke, his gaze turned to Tang Zichen, and he said with earnest expectation, "Student Tang Zichen, you are even more outstanding than Ms. Qin at the same age. I believe in you. As long as you don't make any more mistakes in the upcoming Secret Realm, your future achievements will surely not be inferior to Ms. Qin's."

This statement is clearly hinting at something!

What does "don't make any more mistakes" mean?

Is teaming up with Chen Ye considered a mistake?

Heh...

Tang Zichen naturally understood the vice principal's implication.

She didn't want to respond, saying, "Principal, please ask what you need to ask."

As a student, not responding to the vice principal would be considered impolite.

However, the vice principal didn't seem to mind.

Even for the entire Wu University, a student like Tang Zichen was a treasure, someone to be cherished. How could they dare to have any objections?

"It's like this, Student Tang Zichen, were you targeted by new students from other countries in this Secret Realm?"

"Yes!"

Tang Zichen didn't hide anything. "More than a hundred new students from various countries ganged up to kill Chen Ye and me in the Secret Realm. Of course, their main target was me, and Chen Ye was implicated because of me."

Hearing this.

Even though they knew Tang Zichen had escaped danger, the school leaders were still furious.

"They actually dared to make a move in the Secret Realm!"

"These shameless scoundrels, they are openly violating the Secret Realm convention!"

The leaders cursed one after another, their faces filled with indignation.

This wasn't an act.

If Tang Zichen had died in the first Secret Realm, these school leaders would have been held accountable and their careers affected.

The vice principal asked, "Then, how did you get out of that situation?"

"This is a long story. Esteemed leaders, you should just watch the video!"

Tang Zichen said, standing up, connecting her phone to the conference room's projector, and then playing the video.

The video was, of course, filmed by Chen Ye.

Back in the Secret Realm, he was confident that he and Tang Zichen wouldn't die, and that those insignificant individuals would be killed by him. To prevent international disputes, he intentionally recorded the video as evidence.

Now, it was proving useful.

As the video played, the initial scene showed a group of people surrounding Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

As the camera panned, the school leaders could clearly see the people – black, white, yellow, brown... people of all races, clearly from different countries.

Furthermore, each of them had undisguised murderous intent on their faces!

Anyone could tell that these people meant trouble.

A Japanese youth even laughed brazenly at the camera:

"I know you. I heard you connected with a C-class Hero during your livestream? I admire your courage... Are you filming us with your phone to keep as evidence?"

"Only if you make it out alive, will the video in your hand be considered evidence. Unfortunately, you and your girlfriend are about to be buried here."

Then, Tang Zichen's voice was heard: "Are you here for me?"

The Japanese youth readily admitted, "That's right. Every team here represents a country. Like us, they don't want your Xia Country to produce another Ms. Qin!"

Seeing this.

The school leaders were already seething with rage.

Bang!

The Dean couldn't hold back any longer, slamming his hand heavily on the desk and cursing, "These beasts, shameless! They deserve to die!!"

The Vice Principal's face was grim, his expression serious. "Let's watch the video first. We can discuss our emotions later."

With his words, no one else voiced any objections. They suppressed their anger and patiently watched the video.

The video continued to play.

Soon, Tang Zichen's voice rang out again, "My companion is innocent, can you let him go first?"

After being refused, Tang Zichen quietly said, "Chen Ye, when things get rough, run towards the left, don't look back. I'll do my best to hold them off and buy you some time!"

Hearing Tang Zichen's words.

The expressions of the school leaders became even more serious than before!!

A girl, at a moment of life-threatening danger, telling a boy to run first, didn't that explain everything?

The Vice Principal and the Dean exchanged a glance, seeing the gravity of the situation in each other's eyes.

What they had feared most seemed to have already happened...

Soon.

The video reached the scene where Li Zairong stepped forward.

What happened next.

Left all the school leaders stunned and disbelieving.

Li Zairong.

Was actually the younger brother of Li Zhongxi, who had committed monstrous crimes back then...

It's important to remember that the Secret Realm Convention was jointly established by multiple countries precisely because of the immense impact caused by Li Zhongxi's actions.

The most crucial point of the treaty was prohibiting new students from various countries from killing each other within the Secret Realm.

Afterward.

Li Zairong produced the decaying heart, leading to the appearance of an evolved zombie, which began a rampage.

The video ended at this point.

Tang Zichen's voice rang out at the opportune moment, "The situation was critical at the time, Chen Ye and I escaped in the chaos. We don't know what happened next."

This was the story Chen Ye and she had agreed upon.

The more they said, the more loopholes there would be.

The best approach was to claim ignorance!

Hearing Tang Zichen's words, the school leaders' faces remained etched with shock.

Li Zairong, this variable, was something they had never anticipated.

The appearance of the evolved zombie made it even more unbelievable.

The whereabouts of the evolved zombie from that year were unknown.

Everyone assumed it had been annihilated by the Secret Realm.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, that monster had actually existed in Secret Realm 1, lying dormant.

Although the evolved zombie was nothing in front of these school leaders; they could easily subdue it.

However.

For a new student who had just matched with a hero talent, such a monster was undoubtedly an insurmountable nightmare!

It was already a great fortune that Tang Zichen managed to escape.

Now that the monster had awakened, wouldn't the new students next year be in grave danger?

"I didn't expect that monster to still be in Secret Realm 1!"

The Vice Principal said with a serious expression, "This matter is extremely important, I need to report it immediately!"

I haven't been feeling well since I woke up this morning, and by noon, I started having a low-grade fever. I'd like to ask you all, have I caught it a second time? Of course, please rest assured, even if I have, I will continue to update normally. In my dictionary, there is no such word as "discontinuation"!!
