This school was actually built on an ancient battlefield dating back to the late Later Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, where Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei once clashed in a fierce battle!
Though Ling Xian couldn't verify this claim, the signs were undeniable.
He had personally detected multiple wandering Spirit Bodies in the classrooms, some originating from ancient times, while others were recently deceased souls.
This battle was considered one of the most influential conflicts in Chinese history!
The Tianxu Government, unaware of the site's true nature, had built the school directly on the ruins. This was the source of Ling Xian's unease.
He couldn't control the intensity of his energy release, which posed a significant problem...
If the energy burst wasn't precisely controlled, it could potentially annihilate the entire nation...
Ling Xian stared at the Talisman, his heart pounding with anxiety. Seeing his hesitation, the Double Mistress strolled over, her hands clasped behind her back.
"Ling Xian, why haven't you cast the spell? Didn't you understand my demonstration? Do you need guidance?"
"..."
I don't need guidance! I understood the demonstration perfectly! But... this concerns the survival of the entire world!
In Teacher Shuang's eyes, Ling Xian was utterly useless. If not for a fluke in the entrance exam, he wouldn't have qualified for this class at all. She had always dismissed him as insignificant.
Ling Xian turned away in annoyance. This could get everyone here killed!
Yet the situation left him no choice. While his primary mission was to keep a low profile, he refused to be seen as someone who had gotten in by sheer luck.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally drew the Formation and affixed the Talisman.
A thousand possibilities surged through his mind. The slightest misstep could reduce everything here to ashes!
He hovered his hand above the shimmering Talisman Formation, cautiously channeling one-millionth of his Spirit Power into it.
The crowd held its breath, their eyes fixed on the scene.
Even Su Xinyi felt a ripple of doubt: "Can he really summon it?"
Then, an unimaginable spectacle unfolded—
BOOM!
As the dust settled, a wisp of spiritual light resembling a dragon scale floated above the desk.
Teacher Shuang was utterly stunned!
The students were utterly stunned!
Even the Dragon King who had been summoned was utterly stunned!
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
"Spiritual light? What's this supposed to be?"
Ling Xian knew exactly what was happening. The Star-Breaking Dragon had been summoned again, but this time it had shed its physical form and become a Spirit Body.
"Roar...—!" The Star-Breaking Dragon was so terrified it didn't even dare to attack.
It knew Ling Xian's perception had reached an extraordinary level. If the dragon showed so much as showed a hint of murderous intent, he would be instantly torn to shreds.
Therefore, it acted with extreme caution.
Who could have imagined that the fifth Demon King, who had ruled the Demon Realm for fifteen hundred years and struck fear into the hearts of all living beings, would now feign ignorance before Ling Xian, just to prove he wouldn't cause any trouble?
This was utter self-humiliation!
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
Ling Xian had no intention of harming the creature further. But he would never forget that this was the very culprit who had ruined his limited-edition snack plan!
After pondering countless sealing methods, inspiration finally struck. As the Spirit Orb's radiance intensified, the skeletal hound was drawn in by its gravitational pull, merging seamlessly into the orb.
"Oh! It's fusing!"
"What will it become?!"
A burst of light erupted... and a dragon-shaped dog materialized on Ling Xian's desk.
"Wow—!"
The students swarmed forward, eagerly stroking Ling Xian's desk.
"So cute! It's a Shiba Inu!"
"Its fur is so fluffy, it looks like a little dragon!"
Zhao Ming, resting his chin in his hand, mused, "We need to give it a name. What should we call it?"
Su Xinyi pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Xigua! Xigua suits this dragon perfectly!"
Teacher Shuang, initially terrified out of her wits, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xigua's low growl. "Then let's keep it! This pet will become Phoenix Ridge's training dog!"
The others immediately agreed.
"After all, Ling Xian summoned it!" she thought smugly.
Xigua could only silently endure this humiliation, letting his cheeks be pinched and prodded.
He slowly turned his gaze toward Ling Xian, whose expression remained indifferent.
He desperately wanted to curse him eight hundred times, but in front of this man, he could only continue playing the part of a cute little dog...
