Something Strange Happened Last Night

"Bang!"

Ma Feifei punched the entire protruding part of the wellhead, sending shards of rock flying everywhere.

The loud noise caught Yun Qingyang's attention. With a creak, the door opened, and Yun Qingyang appeared in the doorway, holding the black book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Yun Qingyang asked, frowning. She was engrossed in her reading when a loud noise interrupted her, which annoyed her.

Ma Feifei stood beside the well, looking at the shattered mess he had smashed, and muttered to himself, "Wait a minute, where is the contents?"

Just a moment ago, Ma Feifei clearly felt something behind him, but the punch he threw when he turned around didn't hit anything and ended up hitting the well instead.

"Could it really be because of that book, * Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio *?" Thinking this, Ma Feifei turned to look at the book in Yun Qingyang's hand and asked, "Did you sense anything was wrong when you were reading this book?"

Yun Qingyang didn't understand why Ma Feifei was suddenly so suspicious, and shook his head, saying, "No, this book is quite interesting. The people in it become ghosts after they die, and there's some kind of monster that can actually transform into human form. It's really rare."

Ma Feifei looked intently at Yun Qingyang, and seeing that she seemed perfectly normal, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Am I just being too sensitive?"

Logically speaking, Yun Qingyang's strength is much higher than hers. If there really was an alien object, Yun Qingyang should have been able to detect it immediately. It's impossible for her to Oblivious than Ma Feifei.

Thinking this through, Ma Feifei put aside her doubts, waved her hand, and said, "It's alright, you go back to your room and read, I'm going to Rest too."

Yun Qingyang rolled her eyes and turned to go inside.

Ma Feifei looked up at the sky, then walked straight back to her room.

The night was quiet, and the Mysterious Bookstore fell silent. In the well in the courtyard that Ma Feifei had smashed, a shadow slowly appeared...

The next day, the Mysterious Bookstore opened for business as usual, the Analects was displayed high, and the area outside the Bookstore was once again packed with people.

Ma Feifei washed up and went around to the back to watch today's projection. If Ma Feifei remembered correctly, today should be the last day of the training mission for the three thousand students. On this day, Ma Feifei definitely wanted to pay attention.

Now that the Analects has been shown for two months and the tasks are long gone, coupled with the impact of the Pokémon Championship, the number of cultivators watching the projection is far less than on the first day; but since the base number is still large, even though it has decreased a lot, there are still tens of thousands of people watching the projection every day, so the long street outside the Bookstore is still packed with people.

Ma Feifei squeezed in with difficulty, found a seat, and prepared to watch the projection.

At this moment, the cultivators around him began to discuss it.

Seeing that the projection was currently empty, a chubby cultivator couldn't help but speak up, "Have you heard? Something very strange happened in town last night. A cultivator at the Spirit King level staying at the Yihong Tower was howling like a ghost all night, and he was unleashing skills with his eyes closed, killing quite a few girls and lower-level guests inside."

"Someone actually dares to cause trouble at Yihong Tower? I remember the owner of Yihong Tower is related to the city lord of Yuanfang City!" another cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

The chubby cultivator nodded and said, "That man wasn't causing trouble; he seemed to be possessed. After he was subdued, we discovered he had gone mad."

"How could someone suddenly go mad?" The surrounding cultivators were all puzzled.

The chubby cultivator shook his head and said, "Who knows! A friend of mine who stayed overnight at the Yihong Tower that night mentioned that the mad cultivator's face was full of horror and fear, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. And according to my friend, it seems that the cultivator died inexplicably after going mad for a while. When everyone went up to examine him, they found that his chest had been ripped open and his heart had been ripped out!"

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators all gasped in astonishment.

Even Ma Feifei frowned at this moment, recalling what had happened to her the previous night.

"Could it be that ghosts or monsters have really come out of the book?"

Ma Feifei wouldn't believe that this had nothing to do with the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio a Chinese Studio." In the more than six months since he arrived in this world, Dubian Town had never experienced anything like this. But yesterday, someone pulled out a copy of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," and today someone died mysteriously with their heart ripped out. If it were just a coincidence, it would be hard to believe.

"I'll ask Yun Qingyang first," Ma Feifei thought. Yun Qingyang was the first reader of this book, so she would definitely know if any ghosts or monsters came out of it. No matter how strong the ghosts or monsters were, Ma Feifei didn't believe they could be stronger than a cultivator at the Spirit Saint realm.

"Ding ding ding~"

Just as everyone was discussing the mysterious death of the great Spirit King last night, the Analects emitted a golden light, and then Zhou Zhuling and her brother, as well as Zhao Xiaodao, were sent out.

Ma Feifei looked at the three of them, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Zhao Xiaodao and Zhou Guanyu both broke through to the Spirit King realm, while Zhou Zhuling was even more terrifying, having already reached the peak Spirit King ninth stage, just one step away from stepping into the Spirit Venerable realm!

The fact that Zhou Zhuling, at only twenty-one years old, has already reached such a level of cultivation is simply terrifying!

Even the surrounding cultivators couldn't help but marvel at their cultivation levels. Although every cultivator who came out in the past two months had experienced an increase in their cultivation, this was the first time they had seen such a significant increase as the three of them.

"Haha, good!" With a hearty voice, Zhou Wuji walked over from a distance, looking at his two children with great satisfaction on his face.

"The Zhou Clan is really about to rise to prominence!" A cultivator nearby couldn't help but exclaim.

"Absolutely! The two Spirit Kings are so young, the Zhou Clan is likely to produce Saint in the future!" a cultivator said enviously.

"It seems that Epic-grade- quality books are indeed extraordinary. Even before they're on the shelves, they can significantly boost readers' cultivation. I wonder what the effect will be when they actually read the Analects," Ma Feifei thought to himself, looking at Zhou Zhuling and the other two.

"Ding~"

Within the projection, the golden light disappeared, went dark, and then lit up again, revealing the background of Mangcang Town.

Ma Feifei perked up, focusing his gaze on the projection, quietly preparing to watch the ending of Gongsun Qiong's enlightenment of the people.

Of the three thousand students, everyone else had successfully completed their training missions, leaving only Gongsun Qiong.
