The next day, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e handed over the affairs of Luolan Mansion to Cai Wei, then followed Yu Lang and Bai Mengmeng back to Shengxuan Xuefu.

  After entering the school, Li Luo felt that his tense body had relaxed a lot, as if he had just arrived at the school and that sense of security had become stronger.

  However, he also found that some high-star students in the school this time were not as leisurely as usual, but instead looked solemn and serious.

  It should be related to that "dark cave".

  After all, once the purification task is started, these high-star students will enter the dark cave, and they may encounter terrifying "alien species" at that time. Once in contact, it's hard to say whether there will be casualties.

  The two words "death" and "injury" seem simple, but if the one dying in front of you is a classmate with whom you have been together day and night, the person's mood will become especially sorrowful.

  Jiang Qing'e, Yan Lingqing parted ways with Li Luo and the others after entering the school, and then everyone else also left one by one, leaving only Li Luo and Bai Mengmeng to head to the dormitory building together.

  As the two of them approached the small building with smiles and a lively atmosphere, they saw a figure sitting on the stone steps in front of the building, with the tree shade covering him from head to toe.

  If you're not careful, you'll directly ignore him and then step on him.

  Fortunately, Li Luo was still careful enough to notice his figure and pulled Bai Mengmeng who wasn't paying attention in time. He said puzzled: "Xin Fu, what are you doing squatting here? You look... quite pitiful."

  There is a sense of loneliness among left-behind children.

  Bai Mengmeng only then noticed Xin Fu and hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, Xin Fu, I didn't see you just now."

  Xin Fu raised his head, and under the hood, a seemingly resentful gaze was cast out.

  Li Luo looked at him and exclaimed in surprise: "You won't be staying here for the whole holiday, will you? Haven't you gone out to have some fun with friends?"

  Xin silently lowered his head. After arriving at Shengxuan Xuefu, the number of people he had spoken to could be counted on one hand. What a lonely ghost of a friend.

  Looking at his appearance, Li Luo had already guessed that this guy didn't usually speak up, probably because of the faintness of his own shadow, he always had a very weak presence, making people unintentionally ignore him, so during his time at Shengxuan Xuefu, he probably hadn't made any friends.

  "How miserable." Li Luo sighed.

  Bai Mengmeng also looked at Xin Fu sympathetically and said: "Xin Fu, next time we go out, we will definitely bring you along."

  "When I left earlier, I actually wanted to call you, but after looking around and not seeing you, I had no choice but to leave." she explained.

  Xin Fu looked at Bai Mengmeng's pure and sweet little face and said softly, "I was sitting here when you left."

  Bai Mengmeng's smile froze, and she said weakly: "Sorry, I really didn't see it."

  Xin Fu shook his head, and let out a soft sigh, filled with much heartache.

  "Oh, we've finally arrived."

  Just then, a sudden voice came from the front, and the three of them looked up to see Master Kuai walking towards them. She was tall and slender, with a thin veil covering her face, which made her look elegant and refined.

  The three of them hurriedly greeted each other.

  Guo Zhen nodded at the three of them and said, "Since you're all here, let's get started with the lesson. There are some important things I need to tell you today."

  After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her small courtyard. From her footsteps, Li Luo also felt a sense of killing intent, and he already had an inkling of what Master Gui Xiang was going to say.

  It's probably just a dark cave affair.

  The three of them quickly followed and arrived at a spacious pavilion in the middle of the small courtyard with Master Gou Yan.

  Four people sat on the ground.

  "What I want to say is that you may have all heard some rumors, big or small, about the Dark Den incident." Master Gui Yan did not beat around the bush and directly got to the point.

  Then she roughly went over some information about the dark cave again.

  Because they had already learned about the existence of the dark cave from Jiang Qing'e, Li Luo's expression was quite calm, while Bai Mengmeng and Xin Fu were shocked, especially Bai Mengmeng's pale face was slightly discolored, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

  They never thought that the alien would be so close to them.

  "This month, the Academy will initiate a purification mission. The 2-star, 3-star and 4-star teams will all participate. We have received news that the pollution within the Dark Cave has become even more severe, and some peripheral areas have also begun to be polluted. So, at that time, you one-star teams from Purple Haze may also be recruited."

  The eyes of Instructor Kuai were somewhat stern as she stared at the three, saying slowly: "Recruitment is mandatory and cannot be refused. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the school."

  "The Dark Abyss not only threatens the Holy Mystical Academy, but if it really erupts, the entire Dah Xia will fall into disaster. So, whether for the academy or for your own families and loved ones, you have no reason to escape."

  Li, Luo and San's expressions were equally solemn. Although they also felt apprehensive about the so-called "alien", as students of Zihui Academy, they were also among the best in their peers, so they didn't lose their composure excessively.

  "However, generally speaking, even if you are recruited to enter the Dark Cavern for purification missions, some high-star teams will be arranged to lead you, impart their experience and protect you." Instructor Gui Xian nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied that none of the three had spoken out in opposition.

  "Can the instructor tell us more about this anomaly?" Li Luo asked after a moment of contemplation.

  Whether or not they will be summoned to the dark cave for purification, this alien information must be understood clearly by all of them, because even if they haven't encountered it now, in the future, they will eventually meet.

  "This information should indeed be told to you."

  Guo Zhen nodded and said, "Regarding the heterotype, I have mentioned it before. It is because the dark world has gathered the evil thoughts of human beings, and the heterotype was born from these evil thoughts."

  "Aberrants are bizarre and powerful, they are strange and terrifying, and aberrants are roughly divided into four levels: Corrosion level, Disaster level, Destruction level, and Aberrant King."

  "Erosion, representing erosion, erosive heterotypes, initially possessing the power to erode human hearts, because they are transformed from countless evil thoughts. Once contaminated by their power, it will awaken the evil thoughts deep within a person's heart, and evil thoughts will suppress reason. Then, your body will be controlled by the heterotype, becoming its manipulated puppet."

  "This erosion is the hallmark of an other's power... In these years at the academy, I've had countless battles with others in purifying the dark recesses, but in reality, many of the casualties were actually from those companions who were unintentionally tainted by evil intentions."

  Even Li Luo's back was sweating at this point, this alien creature was terrifying and sinister. Wasn't it necessary to be careful when fighting with companions, in case they were manipulated by the evil thoughts deep within their hearts?

  That sudden attack at a critical moment was enough to leave one unprepared and die with resentment.

  "The Corrosion-type anomalies are also divided into White Corrosion and Red Corrosion... This distinction is made because the evil thoughts emitted by their bodies will strengthen and gradually change from white to red."

  "The Bai Ze level of heterodox cultivators have a strength roughly around the second stage of Xiang Shi realm, while the Chi Ze level are at the third stage... If you go to carry out the purification task, the target is likely to be this level of heterodox cultivator."

  "Similarly, a disaster-level anomaly is equivalent to the strength of a Martial Emperor."

  "Doomsday-level aberrants are the pinnacle of human evolution, and once they appear, even a thriving metropolis will be reduced to a dead city."

  "As for the heterodox king..."

  Even mentioning this level of heterogeneity, there was a flash of horror in the eyes of Master Guan Zhen. He said slowly: "I really hope we won't encounter such a high-level heterogeneity, because every time an heterogeneity king appears, it represents a real disaster. The evil thoughts it possesses will pollute and turn a country into a place of madness, chaos and distortion."

  Inside the pavilion, a sudden chill ran down the spines of Li Luo and the others.

  Although Guan Zhen didn't explain it clearly, apparently if an abnormal king appears, probably only the strong among the human race who have reached the King Realm can contend against him.

  "Generally, the more powerful an Aberrant is, the more human-like it becomes. So, in the future, whether you're in a dungeon or somewhere else, if you encounter an Aberrant that looks almost identical to us..."

  A hint of gloom flashed across Guan Zhen's eyes, and her palm involuntarily caressed the face covered with a thin veil. She whispered, "Then let's hurry up and escape."

  Li Luo and the other two people looked at each other in dismay, finally nodding their heads honestly.

  "Let's continue today's lesson."

  "As for the purification task in the dark cave, there is still no specific news, so you can continue to cultivate for the next few days."

  Guo Xiang sighed softly.

  "I hope it won't come to the point where you guys have to take action too."

  Because once it reaches that point, it means that this time the pollution inside the dark cave will become especially severe, and that's really not good news.
