Chapter 220
Scattered among the buildings are elegant courtyards and huge squares; without a map or a student from Jielong to guide you, you would have no idea where you are.
Moreover, the school spirit of Jielong is different from other schools. In Jielong, the school spirit can be described as either free or chaotic.
Most students who choose to study at Jielong seem to be there to train themselves; participating in the "Star Martial Festival" and winning the championship are secondary goals.
So now, right in front of Luo Mio.
Looking out from a slightly larger square not far away, several students from Jielong were dancing with a giant dragon head, surrounded by a large crowd of spectators applauding and cheering.
In the courtyard next to the square, a large man was performing acrobatics, brandishing a knife, which won applause from many spectators.
Seeing this scene, Luo Mio couldn't help but say something.
"I guess only Kai Ryu Star Academy in the entire Asterisk could see such a scene."
Star Academy School has a free school spirit, values student autonomy, and has lenient school rules.
Therefore, there are more students in the "Witch" or "Magician" classes at the Star Academy.
The chaotic school spirit of Jielong is filled with bureaucracy and laissez-faire, making it the largest school in the entire academy.
Claudia, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Isn't St. Freya the same?"
In terms of school spirit, St. Freya's school spirit is not much different from the Star Academy's, but for some reason, St. Freya's male-to-female ratio is 1:9, which means it has the most female students besides Queen's Blade.
Therefore, Luo Mio left many tasks related to girls to Sophia and other female Student Council members.
"But what did Stardew want with you, Mio, at the Boundary Dragon?"
Claudia looked at the students from the Boundary Dragon Sect performing around her and the tourists watching, and asked Luo Mio.
"Well..."
Luo Mio also looked at the lively crowd around her.
"I guess it's related to the 'Apex Arena,' since I signed up for it too."
——
After watching Sylvia's performance, Luo Mio and the others chatted with Sylvia for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Back home, Bella had already prepared dinner.
And it was at this moment—
"Ding-dong!"
A ringtone sounded in Luo Mio's Space Window.
After opening the Space Window, Luo Mio looked at the name of the caller.
"Hmm? Senior Fan..."
After opening the communication, Luo Mio spoke.
Good evening, Senior Fan.
"Hahaha, good evening, Luo Mio boy."
Then, from the other side of the Space Window came Fan Xinglu's childish yet mature-sounding voice.
Luo Mio asked Fan Xinglu, puzzled.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Senior Fan?"
Normally, Fan Xinglu would call Fu Hua or Bella directly, and rarely contacted Luo Mio directly.
A look of confusion crossed her azure eyes as she stared at Fan Xinglu's young face in the Space Window.
Claudia, standing to the side, also looked at Fan Xinglu with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing serious. Are you free tomorrow?"
Luo Mio raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Have you heard this before...?
Then Luo Mio's eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Claudia beside her.
Turning her gaze back to Fan Xinglu, Luo Mio said.
"I do have some free time. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"You and Kong Yatou come to Jielong tomorrow."
"Me and Sora... going to the Realm Dragon?"
Upon hearing Fan Xinglu's words, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.
Why did that old hag want me to go to Jielong...?
Fan Xinglu said to Luo Mio.
"Hehe, don't worry, I just asked you and Kong to test the new fairy tool's resistance to damage."
"Resilience?"
"Right."
Upon hearing what Fan Xinglu said, Luo Mio's eyes flickered, and she asked her a question.
"You mean the fairy artifact dolls in the 'Apex Arena' that you and the teacher created together?"
Fan Xinglu across the Space Window.
"Right."
"Of course, the girl from the Star Academy next to you can come along too."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Mio also asked Fan Xinglu.
"Then why didn't Senior Fan go to her, Teacher?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's question, Fan Xinglu also showed an unusually embarrassed expression and scratched her head.
"Before, I kept asking Fu Hua to come to the Realm Dragon to help me create new fairy puppets... Then, because I kept asking her... she hasn't responded to my messages or answered my messages for the past few days."
"..."
Luo Mio was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
Upon hearing Fan Xinglu's awkward words, Luo Mio couldn't help but think of her teacher's recent behavior.
Relaxed, comfortable, and at ease...
Then Fan Xinglu said, "I felt that she was angry. There was nothing we could do but send you and Kong Yatou."
Luo Mio chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Fan, your teacher isn't angry with you."
"Really?" Fan Xinglu breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing Luo Mio's answer.
Is it possible that she's found a confidante with whom she can fight back on equal terms? But what if Fu Hua gets angry and ignores her? Who will she turn to for revenge then?
"Then tomorrow..."
Luo Mio also said, "We will go tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll contact you then."
"OK."
——
Luo Mio walked along the corridor, recalling what had happened yesterday, with Kong and Claudia following beside her.
Just as the three of them passed the corner of the corridor.
"Um?"
The space, being most sensitive to space, was the first to detect a slight reaction.
Then came Luo Mio.
Then the surrounding Omni-element -Omni-element began to stir strangely, and Claudia realized what was happening.
"This is..." Just as Claudia was on guard.
The scenery around the three of them also suddenly distorted and changed.
Then--
In the blink of an eye, Luo Mio and the other two found themselves standing in an unfamiliar wooden room.
"I'm so sorry, I used a little trick to save time."
A young girl named Fan Xinglu, with dark golden eyes and light-colored hair tied into butterfly wings, emerged from the shadow of a pillar in the wooden room.
When Luo Mio saw Fan Xinglu come out, she bowed slightly and said something.
Good morning, Senior Fan.
"Haha, good morning, Luo Mio boy."
Then Fan Xinglu also looked at Claudia next to Luo Mio.
"It's been a week, hasn't it, you little vixen?"
Claudia smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a week, Stardew."
After greeting Claudia, Fan Xinglu also looked up at the sky.
"Although I knew you were very perceptive about space, I didn't expect you to be this perceptive."
"They sensed it the instant I activated 'Earth Shrinking Technique'."
That's right, the technique that allowed Luo Mio, Kong, and Claudia to Space Transfer was the "Earth Shrinking Technique," which shortens the earth's veins and allows them to travel thousands of miles.
Hearing Fan Xinglu's helpless yet slightly excited tone, Kong rolled his eyes and said.
"Such obvious spatial fluctuations can be detected even while asleep."
"Hahahaha, this is truly surprising information."
After saying that, Fan Xinglu stared into the air with a strong "Ghost Qi" look in her eyes.
After Kong noticed Fan Xinglu's gaze, silver X-shaped patterns faintly appeared in Liuli's golden eyes.
Seeing Fan Xinglu's gaze and Kong's golden eyes, Luo Mio quickly said something.
"Didn't Senior Fan ask me and Sora to test the new fairy puppet today? May I ask where we are testing it?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fan Xinglu blinked, and the "Ghost Qi" in her dark golden eyes disappeared.
"This? Come with me."
Then they walked toward one of the rooms in the wooden building.
Luo Mio also sighed softly.
Her azure eyes also glanced slightly at Kong beside her.
The silver X-shaped pupil pattern in Kong's golden eyes also disappeared.
If we hadn't changed the subject earlier, Fan Xinglu, that battle maniac, would probably have started a fight with Kong right here and now.
Luo Mio, Kong, and Claudia followed behind Fan Xinglu.
"..."
Luo Mio narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that the space around him was undergoing irregular changes and rotations.
Meanwhile, in the empty space beside Luo Mio, Liuli's golden eyes watched Fan Xinglu's back before looking around at the surrounding rooms.
In her vision, the space under Fan Xinglu's "Star Immortal Technique" was undergoing seemingly orderly but chaotic changes.
On the other side, Claudia, though lacking the spatial sensitivity of Luo Mio and Kong, could still sense the irregular movements of the Omni-element around her.
After a short while, Fan Xinglu stopped.
Claudia looked at the scene before her and said in surprise.
"This is..."
Luo Mio also paused slightly.
Fan Xinglu turned to look at Luo Mio and chuckled.
"Although it's not as good as the Hyperion, I still built it. What do you think?"
