In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Today would be the last day of the Newcomer's Secret Realm. Each person could only enter the realm once and could only stay for seven days. Once the seven days were up, the realm would teleport everyone out.
The principals and teachers of various high schools had gathered at the exit of the realm early. Some parents had also come here, waiting for their children to come out of the realm.
"Hey, guys! Good morning! Long time no see! I've missed you all so much, hahaha!" A voice rang out before the person was seen.
The principal of Qingcheng High School hadn't arrived yet, but his excited voice had already reached them from afar.
The other principals' faces instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot upon hearing the principal of Qingcheng High School's voice. These past few days, the principal of Qingcheng High School had been dragging them out for meals and tea, and as soon as they sat down, he would brag about the two SSS-level profession students that appeared in Qingcheng High School. They were so tired of hearing it that their ears were about to grow calluses.
It was no use not going out. Even if they didn't go out, the principal of Qingcheng High School would create a group and brag to them. It was extremely annoying.
Now they were so fed up with this old guy.
"Don't come near. We're not familiar. We just saw each other a few days ago. What's with the 'long time no see'?" One principal couldn't help but retort angrily.
"That's not right! As the saying goes, 'a day without seeing you feels like three autumns.' So, we haven't seen each other for over ten years!" The principal of Qingcheng High School chuckled as he approached. He rubbed his hands together and asked mysteriously.
"By the way, how did you know that we have two SSS-level profession transmuters this time?"
The other principals: "..."
"So what if there are two SSS-level transmuters? Don't forget, sometimes level is more important than profession level. If the level difference is more than three levels, even an A-level transmuter isn't impossible to defeat an SSS-level transmuter."
One principal spoke sourly, and his words immediately resonated with the others.
"Exactly! If we only look at profession level, wouldn't those without SSS-level professions just as well bang their heads against a wall?"
"There have been cases in the past where SSS-level transmuters were suppressed by transmuters of other levels when they came out of the Newcomer's Secret Realm."
"That's right. The highest record in our Qingcheng is level 11, set by an S-level transmuter, and it has yet to be broken!"
"Principal Su, I remember that student. Wasn't he from your Yucai High School?"
The principals' eyes all turned to the stern-faced Principal Su.
"That's right." Principal Su smiled faintly. "Talent is important, but hard work in the future is also indispensable. That child is already a level 65 transmuter now."
Hearing this, the other principals all nodded in agreement, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
A level 65 transmuter was already a force to be reckoned with. In Qingcheng, there wouldn't be more than one or two people who could defeat him.
To be able to cultivate such a student, it would be a deathbed wish fulfilled.
"I wonder if the record will be broken this year? It's been tied many times before, but it seems it's never been broken."
"I believe my students can do it!" The principal of Qingcheng High School's eyes burned with determination.
"Principal Gao, it's not just your Qingcheng High School that has SSS-level transmuters," Principal Su said calmly.
"Hmph, just wait and see," Principal Gao of Qingcheng High School said, sticking his neck out. He was naturally proud and couldn't possibly lower his head.
At that moment, a figure quietly approached the principals.
"Principals, you seem to be having a good time. May I join in the fun?" !"
Several principals turned their heads in surprise. It was simply unbelievable that the newcomer could appear beside them without making a sound. The newcomer was wearing a windbreaker, had a refined air about him, and was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. A harmless and gentle smile was on his face.
"Mr. Zhuge! Please sit down, do sit down!" The principals hurriedly moved aside to make room for Zhuge Qianxing, and there was a hint of respect in their eyes.
Qingcheng was a small place with no big shots, but Zhuge Qianxing was definitely an exception. His profession was that of an SSS-level astrologer! By observing the stars, he could know what was happening in the world. It was said that if Zhuge Qianxing exerted himself fully, he could even predict major events that would occur a hundred years later.
Many important figures came all the way to Qingcheng just to have Zhuge Qianxing cast a divination for them. It was no exaggeration to say that Zhuge Qianxing was the most respected person in the entire Qingcheng.
"Principals, you are too kind. I just came to see my Nini," Zhuge Qianxing said with a gentle smile.
"That's what fathers do! How could a father not care about his daughter? Mr. Zhuge truly loves his daughter very much," Principal Gao said with a smile.
"Principal Gao, you are too kind. Has Nini caused you any trouble?" Zhuge Qianxing asked.
"Not at all! She is the pride of Qingcheng High School!" Principal Gao's face was flushed with excitement.
No one knew why, but when Zhuge Nini's grades were good enough to apply to the prestigious Yucai High School, Zhuge Qianxing insisted that she apply to Qingcheng High School. Some said it was because Zhuge Qianxing had foreseen something. But that didn't matter. What mattered was that Zhuge Nini was Principal Gao's student!
"Someone's out!" A flash of light suddenly appeared at the exit, indicating that someone had emerged from the secret realm. "That's not right. Even the first student to enter the secret realm should wait until noon to come out. How could someone be here now? Could it be that they got injured?" Every year, some students would prematurely exit due to injuries. Some unlucky ones would rashly challenge monsters of a higher level than they could handle and even lose their lives to them. This was nothing out of the ordinary. A tall figure emerged from the white light gate. Zhuge Ni calmly stepped out, her complexion rosy and showing no sign of injury. "Dad!" Seeing Zhuge Qianxing, Zhuge Ni was overjoyed and immediately threw herself into his arms. Zhuge Qianxing affectionately ruffled her hair. "The time isn't up yet. Why did you come out so early?" "It was so boring in there, so I came out early." Zhuge Ni said in a coquettish tone. "You came out because it was boring?" When Zhuge Ni said this, not only Zhuge Qianxing but also the other school principals, including Principal Gao and Principal Su, were stunned. The novice secret realm was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone. There were many low-level monsters inside that were easy to defeat and level up quickly. And yet, Zhuge Ni claimed that she came out early because it was boring? "What level are you now?" Zhuge Qianxing pushed his glasses up. "Hehe, 12!" Zhuge Ni gave a mischievous smile and voluntarily showed her level. If a transmuter deliberately concealed it, others couldn't see their exact level. [Zhuge Ni, Fire Mage, Level 12] The principals gasped in unison, their eyes filled with astonishment. The highest record at Qingcheng High School was only 11, but Zhuge Ni had reached 12 and broken the record. Moreover, she came out early. This was simply astonishing! The other principals glared at Principal Gao of Qingcheng High School with envy. He really hit the jackpot. "Hehehe, good job, Zhuge Ni!" Principal Gao was so excited that his face turned red. However, when he saw Zhuge Qianxing's expressionless face, he wisely shut his mouth. "Ni Ni, if you had waited until the time was up, you might have even reached level 13. Why did you come out early?" Zhuge Qianxing asked calmly. "I told you, it was so boring." Zhuge Ni felt a bit guilty. "Is that really the reason?" Zhuge Qianxing's lips curved into a faint smile, making Zhuge Ni feel even more guilty. "Oh, Dad~ Could I ever lie to you?" Zhuge Ni clung to Zhuge Qianxing's hand and pouted. Of course, she wouldn't tell Zhuge Qianxing that she came out early to confront that guy named Ling Ye. That guy could kill a dragon-blooded giant beast with one strike. His level must be quite high. Although he wore a mask that time, Zhuge Ni was confident that she could recognize him if she saw him again!
