Xin Yang felt like a puppet at the mercy of others!

Zhu Ende used ghostly energy to hurl Xin Yang into the Defense Academy's formation.

Seeing Zhu Ende throw Xin Yang into their formation,

"Black Tortoise Formation! Take formation..." Defense Academy's dean, Wang Xianhua, commanded the teachers of his academy.

With Xin Yang protected at the center, over a thousand teachers from the Defense Academy formed an impenetrable formation.

At this moment, the teachers from every academy within the ghost domain came to their senses. They changed targets and charged toward the Defense Academy together.

However, the teachers from the other academies fought independently, their scattered assaults crashing against the Black Tortoise Formation like stones sinking into the sea. Other than causing a few ripples, they had no effect at all.

"This damned turtle-shell formation can't be broken through in a one-on-one fight."

"All Primordial Academy personnel, heed my command!"

"Form up... The Nether Serpent Formation will prioritize attacking the Black Tortoise Formation's left flank!" the vice dean of Primordial Academy shouted.

He took the lead and attacked the Black Tortoise Formation's left side first.

The next moment.

[Wild Bull Headbutt]

The vice dean of Primordial Academy sharply raised his elbow and struck the Black Tortoise Formation's left side with all his strength. Several Defense Academy teachers were sent flying, opening a gap for the teachers of his academy.

Although no one could use any abilities in this chaotic battle over a student and could only use ghostly energy,

Primordial Academy's martial arts techniques could still be used! They simply could not circulate their techniques with ghost energy.

Boom—

Even the Black Tortoise Formation's defenses were torn open by the Nether Serpent Formation.

"Primordial Academy's people are truly strong!"

"Change formation—Ghost Gate Closure!" Defense Academy's dean, Wang Xianhua, shouted.

All the Defense Academy teachers began shifting their formation in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, the Primordial Academy teachers who had charged into the formation were now trapped between advancing and retreating.

Several thousand teachers had already fallen within Mingyuan Building's ghost domain.

Every one of them was bruised and battered.

Glory City, First Checkpoint City.

"Guo Bang, send that avatar of yours to take a look. This old man has things covered here."

"Third Elder, I'll go take a look right away!"

Trapped within the Ghost Gate Closure, Primordial Academy's vice dean could not help but pale slightly. He immediately released a stream of ghostly energy to reinforce his body.

But even so.

Pfft—

In an instant, Bi Zhenglin's iron fist, coated in ghostly energy, slammed fiercely into his abdomen.

Su Shixiang, Primordial Academy's vice dean, suddenly went pale, nearly losing consciousness.

"Vice Dean!"

Sensing Su Shixiang's predicament, the others in the Nether Serpent Formation grew extremely anxious.

"Damn it, if only everyone from Primordial Academy were here!"

The Primordial Academy members clenched their teeth, wishing they could take the punch for Su Shixiang.

At the same time.

"No! We must win Xin Yang over. He will definitely become the next principal."

Su Shixiang struggled on the ground, gritting his teeth tightly.

"Old Li, Old Zhao, find a way to seize Xin Yang!"

Hearing this, the other two did not hesitate for long before making their decision.

Invisible ghostly energy covered their legs as they charged into the Ghost Gate Closure.

The two of them began relying on their bodies to ram their way through.

As for the Defense Academy teachers knocked down by them, they collapsed weakly onto the ground.

"Have these people really lost their heads?"

Qu Chengzhong frowned. These people were truly giving it everything they had for Xin Yang!

Just as the situation was about to descend further into chaos!

"Enough!"

Suddenly, an enraged voice rang out from every direction.

A surge of ghost energy blasted apart all the teachers still fighting within Mingyuan Building.

Ge Shimin and the others froze, hurriedly withdrawing their ghostly energy. Like children who had made a mistake, they stood in place without daring to move.

In the distance, a young master slowly approached. His hair was bound and pinned with an ornament; he wore brocade robes, a jade belt around his waist, beast-patterned boots, and held a paper fan with a white jade pendant dangling behind it. A brocade cloak hung from his back. His every gesture was refined and particular, making him look at a glance like the young lord of a great aristocratic family.

The young master paced leisurely through the ghost domain, strolling back and forth twice as though he were taking a walk in his own garden.

Yet not a single teacher in the ghost domain dared make a sound before him.

They all muttered inwardly, That old beast is back...

The young master first glanced at Ge Shimin and the other deans, causing them to lower their heads even further.

Then, the young master looked at Lu Hua and the other teachers lying on the ground.

Lu Hua seemed to want to say something, but ultimately held it back.

At last, the young master's bright gaze fell upon Xin Yang, who was surrounded by the Defense Academy formation in the distance.

For a moment, Xin Yang felt as though he had no secrets whatsoever before this young master.

The young master seemed to take an interest in Xin Yang. With a light leap, he arrived before Xin Yang, who was surrounded by the Defense Academy.

"Kid, you're rather interesting..."

Xin Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Who is this young master?

Xin Yang felt somewhat uneasy.

There were quite a few things about him that differed from ordinary people. If they were exposed, he might very well be captured and treated like a lab rat.

Fortunately, the young master's gaze lingered only for a few brief seconds before naturally shifting away.

At the same time, he turned and left, speaking to everyone in the ghost domain:

"I do not wish to break the rules that have remained since the era of ghost energy's revival. But if you keep fighting like this, when will a victor ever be decided?"

"This old man has thought of a less troublesome and fairer method. Let the deans and vice deans of all your academies fight. Whoever remains standing in the end may take this child away..."

As he spoke, the young master flicked his fingertip.

The few deans and vice deans within the ghost domain who had just been utterly exhausted were actually "restored to full health."

After they recovered, the young master immediately left the ghost domain.

Not long after the young master departed,

Ge Shimin let out a sigh of relief. "Good thing. The old man is in a good mood today."

Beside him, Su Shixiang shot Ge Shimin a vicious glare. "It was you! Did you already know the old man would send an avatar back, which is why you deliberately dragged things out?"

Ge Shimin immediately retorted, "If I knew the old man would return, why would I have resisted so desperately for so long?"

"And even if the old man had not returned, don't even think about taking Xin Yang away." The wrinkles on Ge Shimin's face trembled as he spoke excitedly.

"Enough! Did none of you hear what the principal just said?"

At that moment, Defense Academy's vice dean, Bi Zhenglin, could no longer stand watching. "As for which class Xin Yang will enter, that will depend on the abilities of us deans and vice deans!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

For a time, countless gazes in the ghost domain focused on those deans.

"Dean, we're counting on you!"

"Dean, go for it..."

No one could yet say for certain just how gifted Xin Yang was.

However, after the freshman assessment, every teacher at Glory University understood that Xin Yang was highly likely to become a great figure like the principal.

Brothers, the plot where the protagonist first enters the strange world is not far off. I guarantee that this book's system for entering the strange world is completely different from anything currently on the market. Stay tuned...
