Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Purifying a newly corrupted human is difficult enough, let alone purifying a corrupted beast, even if that beast is only of the Red Rank. But this is the difficulty of turning a beast into a human—no, it's more like turning a beast into a beast, or even that's not quite right…

In short, Shi Jia couldn't help but suspect that Principal Lan, who seemed so approachable, actually had a grudge against Madam Lan Xin.

It's still that kind of irreconcilable feud.

"Uh, you mean you purified this turbid beast?" Shi Jia rubbed his ears, looking at Principal Lan with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm, is there a problem?" Principal Lan still smiled as approachable as ever.

"Can I kill it first?" If it's just purifying the corpse of a turbid beast, she has no problem at all.

Principal Lan said calmly, "Then there's no need to put it in a cage."

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Shi Jia sighed and took out a crystal to replenish her energy.

Principal Lan was very patient, sitting quietly to the side drinking tea, while Cheng Ning also sat quietly to the side, seemingly lost in thought.

After absorbing the energy, Shi Jia summoned a paintbrush and began to paint the sapling in mid-air.

Green staircase?

No wonder Lan Xin recommended him to the academy.

Is this a creation of life? It's truly extraordinary!
As the sapling's aerial roots pierced the body of the turbid beast, Shi Jia sensed a frenzied, living turbid energy. Yes, alive! It was very different from the turbid beast corpses he had purified before, as well as the turbid energy on humans.

The characteristic of the turbid energy within this beast is that it is alive!
To live means to have life, and to have life means to be elusive and capable of resistance!

Is this the counterattack that Madam Lanxin mentioned before?
However, he felt he could purify... no, not completely! This principal is acting strangely; he should hold back for now. She probably won't stop him from attending school because of this, will she?
If that's the case, then call Mrs. Lanxin!

Having made up her mind, Shi Jia began the purification process. As the second hand of the wall clock went round and round, and the minute hand completed half a circle, Shi Jia, once again pale and with a splitting headache, had to stop.

"Principal, I did my best." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, his face contorted in rage, and he groaned while clutching his head with both hands.

Principal Lan didn't see him, but looked at the numbers on the testing instrument and was slightly surprised, "You really are as talented as Sister Lan said."

She then looked at Shi Jia and asked, "What's wrong with you?" She reached out to examine Shi Jia's body. "Energy depletion, spiritual damage?" She was actually overdrawing her energy?

"How could you be so careless?" She certainly has talent, but Lan Xin's is a bit exaggerated. As for her temperament, it's a bit too reckless. It was just an entrance exam, and she actually injured herself?
Principal Lan downgraded Shi Jia's evaluation again.

"Yes, you said you wanted to purify this turbid beast, so I can only do my best. I must seize the opportunity to enroll in school that Madam gave me." Shi Jia's pained expression revealed a hint of bitterness.

Principal Lan frowned. He probably didn't come from a high social class. This kind of person was most suitable... It's a pity he's Lan Xin's person... Oh well, "Good, you've passed. Director Cheng, take him to register."

"Yes!"

As Shi Jia emerged from the administration building, she now held a Green Emerald Academy student card. This card allowed her access to various academy locations, such as classrooms, the library, and training rooms. Furthermore, the card possessed financial attributes, enabling her to make purchases not only on campus but also off-campus.

Shi Jia took her student card to the logistics department to collect her school uniform, books, and dormitory accommodation. Of course, all of this required payment.

Green Emerald does not require students to live on campus; generally, wealthy spirit painters live off-campus.

Therefore, if you want to stay overnight, you will need to pay extra at the logistics department.

Shi Jia picked up his bedding and headed towards the dormitory. He was too tired right now; he'd deal with other plans after he'd rested.

The dormitory is a suite, with a living room, four small rooms, two bathrooms, and a communal kitchen.

Shi Jia checked his room number, swiped his student card to open the door and went inside.

Yes, the dormitories are all electronically locked, or more accurately, they are physical objects. This is what Shi Jia learned before coming to school. All the buildings and facilities of Emerald Academy are manifestations of various spirit painters.

Even a significant portion of the flowers and plants in the flowerbeds were manifestations of spirit painters. The remaining plants were painstakingly dug up from the Black Zone by the Green Emerald Academy. Of course, every single plant had been purified by a spirit purifier and confirmed to be free of impurities before being planted. Therefore, Shi Jia was very curious about how these buildings and plants were ensured to exist for so long.

The door had been closed for a long time, and the air inside was somewhat stuffy. Shi Jia opened the window to let in some fresh air, and outside was a vibrant mountain forest. Many small animals were active in the woods, and then a faint commotion could be heard coming from within.

Shi Jia strained to look into the forest, and through the gaps in the trees, he seemed to see a group of people doing something.
"It looks like the training ground for Spirit Warriors is behind there?" Shi Jia asked curiously, and listened carefully for a while longer. A competition?

Shi Jia shook her head and continued tidying the room.

"Huh? There's no rag or mop?" Shi Jia searched the common area but couldn't find any cleaning tools.

He thought for a moment, then took out his paintbrush and drawing board, and quickly drew two rags, a mop, and a trash can.

Shi Jia picked up her drawing and started tidying up the room. As she tidied, she thought to herself, "If only the room could be cleaned up with a single stroke of the paintbrush."

"This should fall under the category of magic, right?" Shi Jia then realized that what Teacher Lu meant by his design was not a spiritual technique.

“That’s right. Spiritual arts should be invisible. Saplings or hourglasses are not spiritual arts. The purification, healing, or time reversal they perform are the true arts.”

Tsk tsk, I was too arrogant before.

Shi Jia smiled, not dwelling on it. Arrogance wasn't a problem, as long as she corrected it. She tidied the room; the rags, mop, and trash can that had materialized were gone, leaving only the trash on the floor.

Shi Jia resignedly took out the bag she had bought from the mustard seed bag, filled it with the trash, tied the bag shut, threw it aside, and looked around again. Huh?

"I remember those two rags and the mop were really dirty, right?" Shi Jia stroked his chin, looking excited as if he had discovered a key point.

"Was the filth carried away? Or...?" He looked at the air in the room with suspicion, "or did the filth become part of the air again?"

Shi Jia looked at the bed—clean! The windowsill—clean! The floor—clean!

Just then, a breeze blew into the room, bringing fresh air. Shi Jia took a deep breath and felt her whole body relax.

"Hmm, never mind, I'll take a nap first, and then go to the library when I wake up."

While Shi Jia was fast asleep, Principal Lan finally put down his dissection tools and called Mrs. Lan Xin.

"Good evening, Sister Lan."

"Hmm, you haven't gotten off work yet?" Mrs. Lanxin asked with concern on the other end of the phone.

"School starts soon, there's so much to do, unlike you who's so carefree," Lan Siyue said reproachfully.

Madam Lan Xin smiled but remained silent. After a while, she asked, "Has Shi Jia gone to report for duty?"

"You're here today, and your talent is truly remarkable. Sister Lan's investment this time is definitely worthwhile." Lan Siyue walked to the sink to wash her hands; she had dissected that turbid beast that afternoon.

Yes, it's the one that Shi Jia purified.

Although the turbid beast still appeared to be a turbid beast, most of the turbid energy inside had been purified, and its purified flesh contained a gentle spiritual energy. This greatly surprised her; she seemed to have misjudged Shi Jia's talent.

"What did you do?" Madam Lanxin asked.

"Don't be nervous, Sister Lan. He just purified a corrupted beast. The effect was quite good. If it grows stronger in the future, I'll be jealous," Lan Siyue said with a smile.

"Hmm, that kid has never been in contact with a Spirit Master, so he's bound to act rashly." Madam Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief. Lan Siyue was different from her; that person was an absolute madman.

It was just hidden too well. (End of Chapter)
