Little Black Ball Advances to Disaster Aberration Tier

An aberration possessed by a human would lose its sanity and be called a mutant aberration by the other aberrations of the Eerie World...

"Uncontrollable mutant aberrations will be executed on the spot!"

"Most mutant aberrations will be sent by the upper class of the Eerie World to the Eerie Battlefield to fight humans..."

What exactly were aberrations?

This question had remained unanswered for more than ten thousand years since ghost energy first awakened.

But—

Just as there was ice and fire, black and white, good and evil.

"If everything in existence has an opposing side, then aberrations are humanity's opposite."

Death to life.

"The root of humanity's fear of aberrations lies within the heart!"

"Aberrations are the same."

"If you want to defeat aberrations, the first step is to defeat your own hearts!"

At once, everyone's expressions changed.

The empty classroom.

Ge Shimin looked at the twelve youngsters below him and asked, "Children, I know you must be very shocked right now, but you'll gradually come to understand these matters in the future."

"Now, if any of you have other questions, I can answer them one by one!"

Several of the male students below immediately became animated, while the girls remained calm and unmoved, as though none of this concerned them.

Li Xiaoqiang stood up curiously and asked,

"Teacher, why can some students use cultivation techniques and ghost skills?"

"Because they are those favored by fate!"

"What are those favored by fate?"

The old man glanced at several students below, seeming somewhat reluctant to speak.

A girl's voice came from the back.

Her voice was ethereal and clear, exceptionally pleasant to hear. Everyone turned to look, only to see a girl as beautiful as a fairy.

She looked to be around sixteen. Sitting in her classroom chair with her head slightly raised, her figure appeared especially slender and frail beneath the glow of the setting sun.

Her long black hair was gathered into a simple bun behind her head, revealing her elegant, slender neck and making her look all the more gentle.

Her features were delicate as well. Her willow-leaf brows were thin, her gaze misty, and her eyelids unconsciously lowered. Only her lashes trembled faintly. She possessed a fragile quality that inspired pity, one that could easily provoke unhealthy desires in men.

In other words, the girl looked especially easy to bully, as though no matter how she was treated, she would not dare resist.

"Those favored by fate are those condemned by fate. Those condemned by fate are children born between original humans and the other races of the Eerie Continent.

"Those condemned by fate can learn cultivation techniques while using ghost skills, but there is a price."

"Simply put, none of those condemned by fate live past twenty-five."

"Hello, everyone. My name is Shen Lingman, and I am one of those condemned by fate..."

The girl's gentle appearance and ethereal voice made her words all the more chilling.

Trying to ease the atmosphere, Ge Shimin said awkwardly, "Since Shen Lingman has finished introducing herself..."

"The rest of you should introduce yourselves as well!"

"Hello, everyone. My name is Ning Shiyao, and I'm from Checkpoint World No. 7 in Huabang City." Her voice was soft and sweet.

Xin Yang saw another familiar face. Ning Shiyao was the short-haired girl from the maglev bus when he had first come to Battle Academy, the one who had asked him for his contact information.

After adding him, she had sent Xin Yang an emoji. He had not known how to reply, so he had never responded.

Now, Xin Yang finally had a chance to take a closer look at her.

His first impression of the short-haired girl was that she was cute. Her fingers were slender, as was her waist, and her little feet in black knee-high socks looked rather innocent. Her short hair fell to her shoulders, and its quality seemed better than most people's.

The thick black bangs over her forehead were especially striking. Against her fair forehead, they made her look even younger, though she hardly needed that.

Her skin was pale and tender, so fair it seemed faintly translucent. Her face was tiny, somewhat like the cute female leads from the Japanese anime Xin Yang had watched in his previous life.

People often said things like, "Your face is so small! You're so cute!" Ning Shiyao probably heard such praise often. Her face really was only the size of a palm.

As for her features, her eyes were the most distinctive. At first glance, they curved like crescents and looked adorable, but upon closer inspection, her pupils seemed vertical, somewhat like a cat's eyes. She was unmistakably the pure and cute little-loli type...

"Hello, everyone. My name is Li Xiaoqiang!"

The owner of Ming City's Number One Noodles began his introduction.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Wan Peng. I'm from Checkpoint World No. 4 in Nether Soul City, and I'm also one of those condemned by fate."

"Hello, everyone. My name is Peng Yang, and I'm from Riverside City."

After the other eleven students in the classroom had introduced themselves, only Xin Yang remained.

Xin Yang slowly rose to his feet and said,

"My name is Xin Yang."

"I'm an orphan..."

"I'm from Wu City..."

The atmosphere, which had only just become lively, sank into gloom again because of Xin Yang!

After all the students had finished their introductions, Ge Shimin continued solemnly, "Students, remember this: Glory University is not merely your school."

"In essence, this is also a military camp! You must obey every rule here unconditionally. Violators will be expelled immediately."

"Teachers will explain the specific school rules over the next few days."

"In three days, you will enter the Eerie World for the first time!"

"So, students, during these three days, every one of you must arrive at the classroom on time for every class. If you're late, ten percent of that month's resources will be deducted."

Time passed.

Three days had passed since Xin Yang first attended the Disaster Class!

During those three days, Xin Yang studied acting in the daytime.

That was right. Battle Academy had not taught them anything related to combat over those three days. Instead, it taught students like Xin Yang how to put on an act.

Every evening after class,

Xin Yang returned to his apartment to absorb potions.

"Master..."

"Master..."

Hearing Zhou Qian calling for him, Xin Yang, who had been watching his teacher's acting tutorial in the living room, headed toward his room.

The moment he entered, Xin Yang saw Zhou Qian staring excitedly at Little Black Ball.

Hiss...

Xin Yang sucked in a sharp breath.

Disaster Aberration Tier, Rank One!

Xin Yang had not expected Little Black Ball to level up so quickly!

It was practically like riding a rocket!

Xin Yang then turned his gaze to the basin of Disaster Aberration-tier Ghost Energy Liquid beside it.

It was already completely empty, without a single drop left!

Just as expected!

It was exactly as Xin Yang had guessed.

Little Black Ball definitely possessed something special. Its absorption speed for ghost energy liquid far surpassed that of other aberrations.

Xin Yang could not help applauding.

"Impressive." Xin Yang praised it sincerely.

Seeing its master actually applaud for it,

and hearing the praise and applause, Little Black Ball began flying circles around Xin Yang...
