Chapter 325: Chapter 259: Destroy the World Crystal? The Principal’s Question!
“Brother Cheng!”
Chicken was the fastest. As several figures appear, he immediately rushed forward.
“You’re all right, Brother Cheng, I’ve been waiting for you for half a month.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “I’m okay, what’s happening with you guys…”
Chicken quickly answered, “The school has long since noticed a disruption in the secret realm. They’ve had people waiting outside this area for your return as soon as you come out of the secret realm…”
As soon as he finished, Sun Wanqing, the counselor, brought a few others towards them.
“Zheng Cheng, Zhuo Wen, Zhuo Wu, I’m glad you all returned safely, follow me to see the principal!”
Zheng Cheng was silent for a moment, then he nodded to Chu He and the others saying, “Let’s go.”
People around them started a buzz of chatter, everyone was looking excitedly at them.
“He’s Zheng Cheng, so handsome!”
“This time five people managed to stick it out till the very end of the secret realm expedition, an improvement compared to previous teams!”
“I wonder who has the highest points among them…”
“Well, it seems the Alien Beast uproar this time caused the school to block the secret realm point ranking. There’s no way to check…”
Amid the discussions, Zheng Cheng and his team quickly arrived at a hidden room under the guidance of Sun Wanqing.
The five of them sat sequentially and there was not another soul in the room.
Sun Wanqing said: “Wait here for a while, someone will come to see you.”
“Sure, teacher Sun.”
Once Sun Wanqing left, only the five of them were left in the room.
Zhuo Wu scratched his head, saying, “Brother Cheng, what’s the school doing? Are they going to interrogate us?”
Zhuo Wen said, “Sh…be quiet! Maybe a teacher is secretly spying on us.”
“What? A pervert?”
“Buzz off!”
Zhuang Shuai leaned back in his chair, “What are we afraid of? We’re the great contributors who activated the World Crystal, why…”
Zheng Cheng cut him short: “The World Crystal was not activated.”
“What?!”
Zhuang Shuai and the others were shocked, “How is that possible, Brother Cheng? When we were leaving the secret realm, that burst of light and movement…”
Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu were also surprised, “Brother Cheng, where’s the World Crystal?”
Suddenly Chu He said, “Shut up, don’t ask!”
“Don’t forget the unwritten rule among professionists, we can’t ask about any gains made in the secret realm.”
“Whether or not the World Crystal was activated is up to Cheng, you don’t worry about it.”
“Besides…”
Chu He glanced around, “Our conversation just now must have been heard by the teachers.”
“They should already know that we didn’t complete our mission.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the distant room suddenly turned on, revealing a few seats.
A blurred figure slowly appeared in the central seat.
His face as square as a Chinese character, his brows were thick, his nose straight, his eyes sharp. As soon as he appeared, the room was filled with a serious atmosphere.
He was…”
“Principal Kang!”
Chu He stood up first and spoke.
The others had a realization and quickly stood up, “Principal Kang!”
“Sit.”
Principal Kang spoke, his voice neither happy nor angry, “You all should know why you were asked to come here.”
“Zheng Cheng, would you explain why you didn’t activate the World Crystal of Jasha Island?”
“Do you know that once you activate the World Crystal, Jasha Island’s world would be connected with the Desolate World and the Alien Worms’ world? At the same time, our Blue Star would also be able to unite with the Desolate World!”
“With the power of our Blue Star, we could use the secret realm entrance to support the Desolate World and help them to defeat the Alien Worms, thereby saving more people!”
Regret could be heard in Kang Yongchang’s voice.
“What a pity, you only hesitated for a moment and now we could only wait for another year.”
“In a year’s time, who knows how many common people in the Desolate World would sacrifice…”
Zheng Cheng suddenly said, “There’s no need.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because…I destroyed the World Crystal.”
“What?!”
Kang Yongchang’s rare anger brought about a storm, pressing heavily on Zheng Cheng.
Zhuang Shuai and Zhuo Wen felt a great pressure bearing down on them, they gasped for air and it felt as if their throats were being choked.
“You all can leave now!”
As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Shuai, Zhuo Wen, Zhuo Wu, and Chu He disappeared and were transported outside the room.
“Damn!”
Zhuang Shuai instinctively cried out, “My ass!”
“Wait! Brother Cheng! How did he destroy the World Crystal!”
“It’s over, the principal’s angry, Brother Cheng’s done…”
“What was Brother Cheng thinking? How could he dare to provoke the principal!”
Zhuang Shuai got up rubbing his aching ass, “Little He, what are you thinking about?”
“Thinking about why Zheng Cheng did this,” Chu He took a deep breath, “Why would Zheng Cheng carry out such a reckless act?”
“Could it be related to the blonde Persian cat, Shahdol?” Zhuo Wu guessed, “Such a beautiful girl, I’d die willingly for her!”
“Which girl?”
Several students, including Noob, suddenly ran over and asked, “Zhuang Shuai, where is Brother Cheng?”
Zhuang Shuai pointed to the room and said, “He’s being interrogated by the principal~”
Chu He muttered, “Is it for a woman?”
“That reason is too far-fetched.”
“If he really gave up activating the World Crystal for a woman, that would be irresponsible.”
“Such a person is not worthy of my loyalty!”
Inside the room.
Kang Yongchang’s figure gradually solidified, and he silently looked at Zheng Cheng, “As a principal, I shouldn’t be instructing you on your secret realm assessment.”
“However, the World Crystal is connected to the future of three worlds. Can you tell me why you did this?”
Zheng Cheng did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, a constantly wriggling object appeared before the two men.
“Because of this.”
“This is… a World Wonder!”
Kang Yongchang exclaimed, “You fed the Space-Time Rift in the World Crystal to a World Wonder?!”
“Yes.”
Zheng Cheng nodded.
His possession of the World Wonder was not a secret, many people knew.
As the principal of the first year district of Beijing National University, Kang Yongchang certainly knew.
Since that is the case, there is no need to hide it.
After all, the news of the destruction of the World Crystal couldn’t be concealed.
After a while, Kang Yongchang finally spoke.
“Ha ha ha, indeed heroes emerge from the youth!”
“That World Crystal had stood on Jasha Island for over sixty years, and no one had ever thought of targeting it.”
“In that case, let’s… let it go!”
“What?”
Zheng Cheng was caught off guard, seemingly unable to believe his own ears.
He was originally prepared to suffer a great loss, or even accept punishment.
Unexpectedly, Kang Yongchang decided to leave it be with just one sentence?
What does this mean?
Does the World Wonder hold secrets unknown to him?
In his mind, he suddenly recalled Zhao Yunxiao’s words.
A World Wonder can evolve into a small world.
It is a treasure that all Epic and Legendary powerhouses dream of.
It’s also the ultimate foundation of a race, a world, a country!
“Principal, you…”
Kang Yongchang said, “The destruction of the World Crystal connected to the Desolate World was unexpected and entirely accidental.”
“Since you possess a World Wonder, let’s consider this matter settled.”
“But um… huh?”
Suddenly Kang Yongchang paused, seemingly listening attentively, his expression quickly changed.
A violent fluctuation came from his body, and his figure became unstable.
“Zheng Cheng, we’ll stop here for now. I have other matters to attend to.”
“However, there’s one more thing. You must not leave Beijing for a short period of time. Be ready to be called upon at any moment.”
As soon as his voice fell, Zheng Cheng’s figure disappeared.
Several figures also walked in through the back door.
“Principal, the World Crystal of the Desolate World has been destroyed… ”
“Why the rush!”
Kang Yongchang shouted, “Destroyed is destroyed. If Zheng Cheng can really cultivate a small world, it’s a big deal for both our school and Xia Country!”
“Moreover, the plan to support the Desolate World didn’t receive the full support of the Elders Council. We can utilize this time to cultivate a World Crystal that can connect to the Desolate World. What is there to fear!”
“But… it would consume a huge amount of resources. What if…”
“There’s no ‘what if’!”
Kang Yongchang cut him off, “This matter is decided. This year, Zheng Cheng will be the focus of the auxiliary academy’s training. Let him participate in the competition of the Ten Potential Dragons!”
“Push his potential to the limits, but ensure his safety. I want to see if he truly is a potential dragon, or if he’s just a fleeting star.”
“Yes, principal!”
“Alright, let’s leave it at that. I have other matters to attend to.”
With that, his figure flickered and disappeared.
The few people left behind looked at each other.
“Sigh, it’s not easy to cultivate a Level 9 World Crystal, how could the principal just give up.”
“What else can we do? The World Crystal has been destroyed, and it has been fed to the World Wonder. We can’t…”
“Shh… this is an order from the principal!”
“By the way, why is the principal in such a hurry?”
“I heard something happened at the High-Level Mental Attack School.”
“High-Level Mental Attack School? What happened?”
“Apparently, a 9-star freshman fell in the secret realm!”
“What…?!”
