Ding Yumian Loses Control

The figure sprinting toward the Girls' Dormitory was naturally Dongfang Chen.

After hearing Dean Fu's shout from behind him, Dongfang Chen turned and glanced at them.

Both Dean Xiao and Dean Fu changed expressions at the same time.

"Kid Dongfang, don't do anything reckless! That isn't somewhere you can go right now!"

Dean Xiao immediately shouted, instinctively rushing toward Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen was Mingzhu Academy's hottest New Student. If he died here for no clear reason, Dean Xiao would never sleep soundly again.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Dongfang Chen unleashed his formidable Soul Power.

The moment the two of them came into contact with Dongfang Chen's Soul Power, they were stunned.

"What powerful Mental Power!"

Soul Power and Mental Power did have certain differences.

But fundamentally, they were much the same.

Although Dean Xiao did not specialize in Dimension Magic, he had also awakened the Space Element.

Therefore, his Mental Power was certainly not weak.

It was even far stronger than that of Mages at the same rank.

Yet Dean Xiao was still shocked by Dongfang Chen's immense Mental Power.

If his own Mental Power was as vast as a tranquil lake, then Dongfang Chen's was a surging river—stronger and more vibrant than his own.

However, Mental Power alone was not enough.

No matter how powerful one's Mental Power was, it could only withstand the effects of a Mind Element calamity; it could not resolve the loss of control of a Mind Element Calamity-Afflicted.

"I also have Mind Element Magic. I'm confident I can calm her down."

Dongfang Chen's voice came again.

It was precisely those words that made Dean Xiao stop trying to prevent Dongfang Chen.

He cultivated Mind Element Magic too?

If he used Mind Element Magic to soothe Ding Yumian, then with Kid Dongfang's immense Mental Power, he might truly succeed.

Thus, Dean Xiao grabbed his friend, Dean Fu, by the arm.

"Old Fu, let Kid Dongfang give it a try. He has Mind Element Magic."

"Mind Element Magic?!"

Dean Fu revealed a surprised expression.

Dongfang Chen's Innate All Element talent was no secret. Anyone who put even a little effort into investigating could learn about it.

But Innate All Element only meant that he had awakened All Element Magic. It did not mean he could cultivate every element.

After all, magic cultivation demanded tremendous talent and resources. Setting aside how one would acquire such vast resources, simply dividing one's cultivation efforts among every element would be difficult enough.

Dean Fu had assumed Dongfang Chen mainly cultivated the Space Element, with the Shadow Element as his secondary focus, and perhaps the Summoning Element as an auxiliary one.

He had not expected the kid to have hidden himself so deeply. He even had the Mind Element.

"Mind Element Magic might really be able to calm Yumian down. The question is, what level has his Mind Element reached?" Dean Fu said as he stood where he was.

"Since he said so, he must be fairly confident."

And so, the two old men stood quietly before the Girls' Dormitory entrance and waited.

As soon as Dongfang Chen entered the dormitory lobby, he found quite a few Female Cadets lying on the ground.

Their faces were bluish-purple, and veins bulged from their necks and temples.

They had likely been affected by Ding Yumian's Mind Element calamity, causing them to unconsciously hold their breath and stop breathing.

Dongfang Chen knew he could not delay any longer.

Following the direction detected by his Soul Power, he charged straight up to the third floor and raced all the way to Ding Yumian's dorm room.

Bang!

Dongfang Chen kicked open the locked dormitory door.

There were four girls in the room.

Three of them had collapsed beside their beds. Judging by their deathly pale faces, if they were not treated soon, they would likely not survive.

Apart from those three girls, there was also a slender figure.

Wearing only thin clothes and barefoot, she sat on the bed with her back to Dongfang Chen, covering her face as she wept.

Soft, mournful sobs and murmurs drifted through the room from time to time. Combined with the deathly silence around him, they sent a chill down Dongfang Chen's spine.

"Ding Yumian?"

Dongfang Chen walked over and asked.

Hearing someone call her, Ding Yumian raised her tear-streaked face.

"What happened?"

"My grandmother... the Bracelet my grandmother left me..."

Dongfang Chen followed her gaze.

He saw quite a few shattered Bracelet fragments scattered across her roommate's bed and the floor.

The fragments were dull in color, clearly nothing rare or valuable.

But they held great significance for Ding Yumian.

As for why the Bracelet fragments were on her roommate's bed rather than Ding Yumian's own, Dongfang Chen did not need to think hard to guess the answer.

Damn dormitory bullying.

"Can you calm down? If this continues..."

"I... I can't control myself... Y-you should leave!"

Suddenly, Ding Yumian's expression froze, and a clear tear rolled down her cheek.

As the tear fell, an immense and chaotic Mental Power erupted from Ding Yumian's body.

This Mental Power carried boundless sorrow, infecting every living creature around it with that emotion!

Even Intermediate Level Mages and High-Tier Mages appeared exceptionally insignificant before this immense Mental Power.

"Calm down! Steady your emotions!"

Dongfang Chen hurriedly said.

The Mental Power erupting from Ding Yumian affected him as well.

But thanks to his Spirit Realm Soul Power, Dongfang Chen was able to keep his emotions firmly under control.

The Ordinary People around them were different.

Previously, Ding Yumian's loss of control had only covered this dormitory building. If this continued, the entire school would likely be affected by her.

The situation was urgent, and Dongfang Chen had no time to slowly soothe Ding Yumian.

He immediately gathered his Soul Power and used the Soul Hand Seal, condensing his Soul Power before fiercely striking Ding Yumian on the head.

"Mm!"

Ding Yumian let out a muffled groan. Her head jerked as though struck by electricity, and she promptly fainted.

The eruption of her Mind Element Calamity Talent stopped with her unconsciousness.

Everyone in the dormitory building was thus freed from the emotional control.

"Hoo... Soul Attack really does the trick."

Dongfang Chen controlled the force of the Soul Attack with great precision.

It was just enough to knock Ding Yumian unconscious without harming her brain.

From now on, whenever Ding Yumian's Calamity Talent erupted again, he could just give her another hit like that. Nothing could be more effective.

Outside the dormitory building, Dean Xiao and Dean Fu both breathed sighs of relief after noticing that Ding Yumian's chaotic Mental Power had vanished.

Just moments ago, when Ding Yumian's Mental Power had intensified, they had nearly cast magic to seal off the entire dormitory building.

Fortunately, Dongfang Chen had lived up to expectations and ended Ding Yumian's loss of control.

At the same time, System's Voice rang out in Dongfang Chen's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has controlled the eruption of the Calamity Poison Body. Mission complete.]
