Chapter Fourteen: Teacher Zi Huang

  Celestial Empire

  Located in the southeast of Xuanji Continent, relying on the Tianluo Sea, it is one of the famous empires.

  To be called an empire, it must have the strength of at least a fourth-level civilization. Civilizations below third level can only be called kingdoms. The Tianxing Empire is the overlord of countless civilizations on a million-mile land in the southeast.

  Having the strength of a fourth-level civilization.

  In the center of the empire, there was a vast forest area that did not belong to any city's jurisdiction. On the edge of the forest, there were magnificent buildings stacked layer upon layer, occupying an unknown amount of space.

  There are high-rise buildings, squares, lakes, and even a few strangely-shaped magic towers.

  This is Tianxing Magic Martial Academy, renowned throughout the mainland, one of the top hundred academies in Eastern Mainland.

  Although it ranks last, its history is also a full thousand years.

  Nurtured countless geniuses, proud sons of heaven, and the strongest of the strong. Even many heirs to kingdoms have come here to study. The profound foundation, the powerful faculty, it's simply a colossal academy.

  It is now the great emperor of the Tianxing Empire, who sees the principal of the Tianxing Academy and must respectfully call out "Old Principal" and pay his respects as a teacher.

  At this time, in the academy, the Department of Elementary Magic.

  "Teacher, Zi Huang teacher." Two girls with almost identical figures, wearing bright yellow low-grade magic robes, hurriedly walked through the corridor.

  At the door of a room at the end of the corridor, two hands fell on the door together, knocking in unison, and the urgent shouts that came out were almost in unison.

  These two people were a pair of extremely rare twins.

  Upon closer inspection, there are some differences.

  The girl on the left had a head of long, waist-length green hair, with a faintly flirtatious expression on her childish face. Her green eyes sparkled with moisture, as if they would well up with tears at any moment.

  The girl on the right has shoulder-length green hair, with a face that is almost as childish as the former one, but with an extremely fiery figure, high and prominent chest, and the circular pattern of the school emblem on her chest became elliptical.

  "Come in." A soft and pleasant voice faintly came over.

  As soon as the door opened, two girls rushed in with synchronized footsteps.

  His footsteps slowed down involuntarily.

  In the eastern corner of the room, a quiet and elegant figure sat alone, dressed in a black, slightly tight-fitting monk's robe that accentuated her slender and beautiful curves. Her long black hair hung straight down, like silk, shining brightly, revealing half of her pale face, as delicate as white porcelain, already exquisite enough to astonish people.

  At this time, she was holding a complex magic book with one hand, slightly frowning, as if thinking about something.

  She didn't raise her head, hearing the voice, and only faintly said: "Xue Tui, Xue Wei, what's so urgent?"

  "Teacher Zihuang is truly beautiful, no matter how many times I look at her, she's always stunning."

  Twin sisters, at this moment, a thread of affectionate emotion actually emerged in their minds.

  But immediately, this faint girl's feelings were reined in, and the two girls spoke in unison, anxiously saying: "Teacher, I went to the prep class today and found that Young Master Xiao Chen has been missing for a long time."

  "Who is Xiao Chen?" Zihuang slightly raised her head, with a hint of confusion. She had a pair of rare purple eyes, and within those purple eyes, there was even a faint spark of lightning flashing.

  "The teacher's strength has improved again, I don't know if it's eight-star or nine-star..." Xue Wei didn't dare to look into those deep, mysterious purple eyes.

  As a genius within the inner court of the Magic Academy, and possessing a rare and powerful Thunder-type physique, even without intentionally releasing his aura, he could still make low-level mages feel intimidated.

  "Xiao Chen young master, you've forgotten that he's the son of Xiao Ye Earl, and he was able to get into the prep class because of your relationship with the teacher."

  The short-haired Xue Wei was somewhat at a loss, who could have guessed that this purple dragon kingdom's pearl, teacher Zi Huang, ah, Princess Zi Huang had "severe" forgetfulness, with natural signs of foolishness. Perhaps it couldn't be called forgetfulness either, but rather her cold personality made anything other than magic not linger in her mind.

  Zi Huang furrowed her brow and pondered for a long time, before a vague shadow emerged in her mind: "Oh, is it that kid from the prep class? He's gone missing?"

  Although dissatisfied with Teacher Zihuang's calm tone, Xuewei and Xuexi continued to chatter on.

  "Stop." Zihuang listened for a while, somewhat confused, and waved her hand: "Xuewei, you speak."

  The twins still had some differences, Xuewei's personality was obviously more gentle, and Xuetu pursed her lips and didn't speak.

  After listening to Zihuang's words, Xuewei began to say: "Some time ago, Xiao Chen young master somehow heard that the black blood swamp grows purple blood spots, which can greatly enhance the ability of meditation. He told us about it and wanted to participate in the trial of the black blood swamp. We stopped him, of course. With Xiao Chen's strength, how could he participate in such a deadly trial? Xiao Chen also promised not to go. It's all our fault. Recently, for half a month, we've been busy with academic assessments and thought that even if Xiao Chen signed up, the college wouldn't agree, so we didn't pay attention to it. Today, we went to the preparatory class but didn't see Xiao Chen. We asked people and were told that Xiao Chen had gone missing half a month ago."

  "Half a month ago, it should be the day when the Black Blood Swamp Trial team left the Academy. We thought, would Young Master Xiao Chen..." Xue Rui anxiously added.

  "Black Blood Swamp Trial?"

  Zi Huang's face changed slightly. That trial with an extremely high mortality rate, even in the prestigious Tian Xing Academy, which produced many talented individuals, had very few people signing up every year, and even fewer passing.

  Those who have passed through are all elites of the college and figures of great reputation.

  She was a student at Foreign Institute back then and also participated, although she completed it with no surprises, but the horror of Black Blood Swamp still left her a deep impression.

  That vague impression, seemingly somewhat weak and timid young man. Really dare to go to the Black Blood Swamp? Or as a reserve student identity.

  If she really dared to go... She was somewhat impressed...

  "Teacher..." Xue Wei and Xue Hua were both looking at her, waiting for her to make a decision.

  "It's too late now, half a month has passed and the trial of the Black Blood Swamp is also over. If he really went to the Black Blood Swamp, even if we rush there now, it would be too late." Zi Feng thought for a moment before saying.

  "What... what can we do?" Xue Wei and Xue Rui were on the verge of tears.

  Xiao Chen was Xiao Bo's only son, and if he were to die in the Black Blood Marsh, there would be no one left to inherit.

  They were originally just adopted by the Earl's mansion as children and served as maids for Young Master Xiao Chen. When Xiao Chen came to Tian Xing Academy to cultivate, they were sent by the Countess to serve him. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by Zi Huang to have a rare twin law body. Even a giant like Tian Xing Academy couldn't ignore this. Twin law practitioners are super freaks who can kill across levels. The two low-ranking maids thus rose to fame and became official students of Tian Xing Academy.

  Although Xiao Chen is still a poor preparatory student, the two of them are already two-star mages and formal students of Tianxing College. Their status can be said to have completely changed, but this master-servant relationship, the affection of being raised by the Earl's Manor for many years, cannot be changed.

  The twins look anxious.

  Zi Huang looked at them and could only comfort them, saying: "In the next two days, the trial team from Hei Xue Ze will be back. You all wait first, if he really isn't there, we'll think of a way to find him. For now, we can only wait."

  It is said that it is so.

  But in Zihuang's heart, there was no expectation. If Xiao Chen really went to the Black Blood Swamp, a trial disciple who didn't even have an official law job would undoubtedly die.
