Chapter 2785 The Whole City Is in an Uproar

Previously, Yun Cong had subtly cautioned him about the unique characteristics of this group of children, describing them as "exceptionally talented" but also mentioning their quick tempers.
He had even singled out a young girl among them, warning him not to provoke her if he valued his future wellbeing. At that time, these words had seemed enigmatic to him, but now, their significance became clear.
Dean Yun maintained a faint smile as he nodded and offered a reminder, "Young one, this heaven-rank testing tablet is quite peculiar. Many years ago, a classmate with a grade-nine spiritual wood affinity attempted it, only to suffer a severe backlash that destroyed his wood spirit elemental spirit, leading to a complete physical collapse. Have you truly contemplated your decision?"
Qiao Mu nodded, her petite head bobbing, and the voice of Qiuqiu, her inner consciousness companion, echoed in her ears. "Master, Master, Master, I sense the presence of Little Fourth here. Little Fourth, hey! Just when I located Little Three, here comes Little Fourth, hahahaha!"
Qiao Mu now held a strong belief that around this heaven-rank tablet contained a fragment of sacred wood. This explained why it could voraciously consume others' grade-nine wood spirits.
Ordinarily, it was highly improbable for someone to steal the five elemental spirits they had mastered. For instance, when she had absorbed the grade-nine spiritual water previously, it was inherently water, unclaimed and ownerless.
/Why could this Sacred Wood Number Four directly usurp a grade-nine wood spirit elemental spirit from another person's body?/
She was confident that no matter how formidable this "Little Fourth" was, it couldn't harm her.
/Perhaps it was because her own consciousness was more complete, and she had grown weary of being confined within the tablet, leading her to seek out and consume others' wood spirit elemental spirits./
Miss Qiao kept harping on about how naughty it was, thinking that if worst came to worst, she would just have to be patient and tame it properly.
"Then does Director Qi accept this wager?" Dean Yun turned around and stared at the baldy with a stern expression.
/A wager? What wager? How did it rise to a wager?/
Qi Duo felt a bit uncomfortable being put on the spot, and inwardly, he couldn't stop his grumbling.
It seemed that even if he refused to go along with this plan, the Dean wouldn't easily let him off the hook. Regardless, he was convinced that this young lady stood no chance of passing the heaven-rank test tablet.
"Ha, she's way too confident. She'll see how she crashes later," he thought to himself.
Qi Duo's eyes shifted, and he responded with a sarcastic tone, "Fine, why not? But let's be clear from the start—if this young lady gets injured, her family shouldn't come causing trouble."
Crown Prince Mo and his companions, as her family members, exchanged silent glances before nodding in unison.
Crown Prince Mo couldn't resist provoking her, saying, "Don't worry; you'll be the one creating a scene."
"Pfff…."Duan Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As a teammate of Mo Lian, he was in quite a good mood. After all, Crown Prince Mo and Mo Lian had always been critical of others, so now they could simply sit back and enjoy the show.
The young lady briskly approached the heaven-rank testing tablet and delivered a resounding slap to a fierce tiger sculpture protruding from the stone. Instantly, the entire tablet erupted in a brilliant light, illuminating the skies above Tempest City.
This conspicuous display couldn't go unnoticed, prompting the residents of Tempest City to hastily open their doors and rush outside, staring up at the dazzling sky.
In an instant, the night turned as bright as day, causing the entire city to erupt in commotion!
The students and mentors inside the Imperial Academy all rushed toward the main academy's academy street!
