Before Jiang Fan could pull his arm away, she immediately began to speak.
"Nearby things have happened before, of course."
Out of sheer curiosity, Jiang Fan forgot about pulling his arm away and quickly asked, "Has this happened before? When did it happen? How come I don't know?"
Wang Yao's wicked scheme succeeded, and her face beamed with joy.
"It happened in your past life, so naturally you wouldn't know."
In his past life... Jiang Fan gets a headache just hearing that word now.
Actually, every time Wang Yao clung to him, he was praying that she was completely dead, that her soul had been scattered to the winds, otherwise, if she saw him cheating on her, would he even have a chance of survival?
"Hmm, no, that's not right either. Actually, you should know," Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's thoughts were instantly pulled back.
"Should I know?"
"Yes, you should have read it in your textbooks. Since the 28th century, spiritual energy has revived, monsters roam freely, and the world has undergone earth-shattering changes. The size of Blue Star has increased tenfold," Wang Yao said.
Jiang Fan nodded; this was indeed something he had learned in his textbooks before.
Not only did he know, but everyone on Blue Star knew.
"What does this have to do with what just happened?"
As soon as he asked the question, Jiang Fan guessed what it meant, his eyes widened suddenly, and a storm raged in his heart.
Seeing Jiang Fan's reaction, Wang Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"That's right, just like you thought. During that spiritual energy revival, the world instantly fell into darkness and stillness. When things returned to normal, the spiritual energy revived, and the entire Blue Star increased in size tenfold. This should be the second spiritual energy eruption, which is the Spiritual Tide I just mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan immediately went to sense the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy.
My hair stood on end!
The surrounding spiritual energy was noticeably richer, though not quite as dense as the Zhou Family Cultivation Secret Realm, but it was almost there.
Soon, Jiang Fan heard various exclamations.
"My goodness, don't you guys feel that the spiritual energy seems much denser than usual?"
"Yes, yes, I felt it too. In just a short while, I felt my strength increase significantly."
"What exactly happened? Could it be related to the sudden darkness just now?"
I think that's most likely the case...
"..."
Just as everyone was discussing it, the school's loudspeaker suddenly came on.
"Attention all teachers and students! Attention all teachers and students! All students, please assemble on the playground immediately! I repeat, all students, please assemble on the playground immediately!"
A moment later.
Jiang Fan followed the others to the playground.
The discussion remained heated until the principal appeared, at which point it gradually quieted down.
Lu Chengjun stood on the stage, and all eyes were on him.
Everyone was smart enough to guess that this sudden gathering was related to what had just happened, so they were all waiting for Lu Chengjun to say something next.
Lu Chengjun stood on the stage, his expression somewhat solemn.
"I believe everyone has felt it; the spiritual energy around us has become much denser. Actually, this has happened before. It's a sign of spiritual energy resurgence!"
A few brief words, like an ice cube dropped into a pot of boiling oil, instantly caused an uproar.
"Quiet."
Lu Chengjun spoke again, "This is a second revival. I just received the news. Like the previous one, this revival has brought about earth-shattering changes to Blue Star. First, there's a surge in the density of spiritual energy, as I mentioned earlier. Second, the overall size of Blue Star has increased dramatically, by a full hundredfold!"
If Lu Chengjun's words just now were like an ice cube falling into a pot of boiling oil, then this time it was a bomb, instantly blasting the entire room apart.
Even Jiang Fan felt a chill run down his spine!
A hundredfold increase?!
The last spiritual energy revival only increased the energy on Blue Star tenfold.
A hundredfold increase! What kind of impact would that have? It's simply unimaginable!
Putting aside everything else, it's just the Outer Wilderness Zone.
If we consider a doubling growth rate, wow...
Jiang Fan dared not think any further.
Jiang Fan wasn't the only one who thought of this; many others did as well, and their faces immediately turned pale and then purple.
Especially for senior students, who recently returned from a near-death experience in the Outer Wilderness Zone!
To be honest, if they could avoid going to that place, they would never want to go there again in their lives.
The seriousness of the situation was such that even the Little Turtle poked its head out, revealing a grave expression.
Lu Chengjun continued, "The changes may not be limited to these."
What? That's not all?
The playground fell silent again, everyone anxiously awaiting the principal's next words.
Lu Chengjun's expression became noticeably more serious. After scanning the crowd, he slowly spoke.
Classes are suspended for today. Dismissed.
What?
They waited for ages, and you're saying you're disbanding?
What other changes have occurred? Tell us quickly!
"Let's go back to your house first," Jiang Fan said to Zhou Yanchen.
Although his parents are currently living at the Zhou Family, with Zhou Lingxing, Ninth Rank- rank expert, overseeing things, Jiang Fan still couldn't help but feel a little worried and wanted to go back as soon as possible to reassure them.
After all, such a major event had deeply shocked them, let alone ordinary people like their Martial Artist.
On their way back, they walked into an alley as usual.
As I reached the corner, I suddenly heard a nauseating chewing sound.
"Crunch! Crunch, crunch, crunch!"
That sound--
It doesn't sound like the sound of a human chewing food.
It looks more like a monster!
Thinking of this day, Jiang Fan and Zhou Yanchen exchanged a glance.
Although Zhou Yanchen had never been to the Outer Wilderness Zone, he had still dealt with monsters.
He dared not speak, and could only ask with his eyes.
Jiang Fan released his Psychic Power and looked towards the other side of the corner.
Upon seeing it, I was immediately stunned.
What did he see?!
A person wearing shorts and dragging a long tail?
Also, it doesn't seem like a human.
How should I describe it?
It has a basic human appearance, but its teeth are serrated and its claws are much sharper than those of a normal human.
and!
This monster is eating people!
Zhou Yanchen, who was standing to the side, noticed that Jiang Fan's expression was strange and became even more puzzled, but he dared not say anything.
He immediately followed Jiang Fan as soon as Jiang Fan made a move.
You won't know until you go there, and what you find there is quite a surprise.
"Drink--"
After seeing what was happening before him, Zhou Yanchen couldn't help but gasp.
He was clearly frightened!
Hearing the noise, the monster stopped chewing and turned around.
What kind of eyes were those? The whites of the eyes were grayish, yet they had three pupils!
"My God, what is that?!" Zhou Yanchen was startled again.
Not to mention Zhou Yanchen, even Jiang Fan was taken aback.
It wasn't that Jiang Fan lacked mental fortitude; it was just that he had never seen anything like it before, it was completely beyond his comprehension!
