The Charm I Couldn't Keep Under Wraps

Located in the southeast of Asterisk, the Seventh Academy of the Jielong is surrounded by countless buildings connected by corridors.

Scattered courtyards and plazas seem to be surrounded by these traditional Chinese-style buildings.

It was less like an academy and more like a grand palace.

In one corner stands a building known as Huangchen Hall.

The three-tiered terrace, composed of vermilion beams and columns and a yellow glazed tile roof, doesn't look much different from other buildings when viewed from the outside.

However, all the students belonging to the Jielong know exactly what kind of place this is.

"--Master! Eldest Brother and Second Sister have arrived!"

Zhao Hufeng stood in the center of the hall, performing a martial arts salute with his right fist and left palm, and addressed the girl sitting in the chair.

"Oh ho! Very good!"

The young girl, who had been dozing in her chair, woke up immediately upon hearing the sound. She nodded at the four disciples below and smiled with satisfaction.

"So, Master, is there anything I can do for you today?"

The speaker had long, light brown, wavy hair, regular features, and a slightly deep facial contour, making him very striking and instantly recognizable as a genuine European.

The majority of students at Jielong are actually from Asia. This is because the Jielong Integrated Enterprise Foundation behind the Jielong Seventh Academy, has its sphere of influence within Jielong before the Invertia.

Therefore, it is quite rare for a foreigner to appear in an environment like the Jielong.

The other person was wearing the uniform of the Jielong, but the style of her uniform was somewhat revealing compared to others, with a large expanse of snow-white skin exposed in front of her breasts, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

"Cecily! I called you here today to ask if you want to participate in the 'Phoenix Festa'!"

Fan Xinglu rested her cheek on her left hand, looking at the three people standing side by side below the stage.

Cecily Wang Jielong Seventh Academy's hierarchy and is Fan Xinglu's second disciple. She is extremely skilled in lightning-based Star Immortal Art, hence her title "Thunder Halberd Thousand Flowers."

"Unless you request otherwise, I don't want to participate in this 'Phoenix Festa'!"

Cecily shrugged, exuding a lazy aura that made her seem like she could fall asleep at any moment.

"Is that so? Xiao Hui, what about you?"

"Follow Master's instructions!"

The man's voice was flat and even, without the slightest inflection, yet a firm resolve could be discerned within it.

Just like Fan Xinglu on the chair, no matter what decision she makes, he will gladly attend.

Wu Xiaohui

The second-ranked student in the Seventh Academy of Jielong, he was a disciple brought directly from outside by Fan Xinglu when she came to Jielong three years ago. He is a master who has cultivated Fan Xinglu's martial arts and Star Immortal Art to a high level.

Alternative name: "Tyrant Martial Star Lord"

With short, azure hair and a sharp gaze, the male uniform of the Jielong clung tightly to his explosively powerful body, outlining his well-developed muscles.

"Is that so!"

Fan Xinglu's long eyelashes drooped, and a fleeting look of disappointment crossed her face.

"Hu Feng, you don't want to participate either?"

"Yes, Master!"

"This disciple is still too immature, so I hope to have more time to refine my skills!"

Zhao Hufeng gave a bitter smile. The "Griffon Festa" two years ago was a heavy blow to his then high-spirited self. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the humble person he is now.

"Nobody's participating!"

Fan Xinglu's words were filled with deep disappointment!

Sensing Fan Xinglu's emotional change, Wu Xiaohui's usually dull pupils revealed an unusual fluctuation for the first time.

Just as he was about to step forward to volunteer for the battle, Fan Xinglu suddenly showed an excited expression and jumped down from the tall chair.

Immediately afterwards, the space in front of her began to distort.

The three people present all knew what kind of magical power Fan Xinglu was using, since Fan Xinglu often used this kind of magic to move their positions, so they were not panicked at all.

Wu Xiaohui, however, returned to her calm demeanor!

As for Zhao Hufeng and Cecily, they looked curiously at the place where space was distorted, after all, they were very curious about who could make their master so excited.

There was no one there!

Ten seconds have passed since the point of spatial distortion ended, but nothing has appeared!

Whether it's a person or an object!

"Has Master's Earth-Shrinking Technique stopped working?"

Zhao Hufeng's eyes revealed a deep sense of doubt. The strange scene before him made him unable to help but make this connection.

Cecily looked at Fan Xinglu with the same expression as Zhao Hufeng!

A subtle smile crept onto Fan Xinglu's lips!

"What, aren't you going to show yourself yet!"

"Now even my disciples are suspecting that I made a mistake in my spell!"

"Laugh!"

A faint chuckle rang out, and the space seemed to ripple like waves, revealing a male figure about 1.8 meters tall.

"That's why I knew only you could use this technology; otherwise, I would have used the Star Power to break free when the force was applied to me."

His face was sculpted with distinct features, and his angular features made him exceptionally handsome.

Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender, almond-shaped eyes; every unintentional blink could captivate the hearts of countless young women.

Her smooth, short, golden hair barely touched her shoulders, and she was wearing very ordinary casual clothes, but the man in front of her wore them with an air of nobility.
