The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Water courtyard.

The sound of calm lectures continued to come from the classroom, the voice was neither too high nor too low, like a natural lullaby, and the birds outside the window were so sleepy that they landed on the branches.

"...That's all for today. get out of class dismissed." The history teacher glanced at the clock hands, closed the book with a "snap", and walked down from the stage.

However, everyone in the classroom did not revive instantly like before.

Instead, they all seemed to have lost their backbones, lying on the table with gloomy expressions.

Those who turned their heads to look at the door, those who stared at the window, and those who looked ahead all had one thing in common: their eyes were dull.

The teacher stood at the door and took a look, and suddenly an idiom popped up in his mind - a million corpses.

"I didn't say anything to abuse you, did I?" He couldn't help but doubt himself.

History classes may indeed be boring, but they shouldn't suck the life out of these young kids, right?

This made him extremely insecure about his teaching ability.

"No, teacher." Meimei, who was closest to the door, adhered to her demeanor as a good student and spoke to calm the male teacher's uneasy mood.

She looked at her classmates, slowly scanning from the last row forward, finally landing on an empty seat in the middle of the first row, and a complex emotion suddenly emerged in her eyes.

She whispered, "Everyone just hasn't seen Jiang Liujing for several days."

Today is the third day since Jiang Liujing was called to the Central Tower.

Most of the students who went with us have returned one after another.

The fastest person went in the morning and returned to the academy before noon that day. He kept silent about what happened in the central tower. His secretiveness, as if he had suffered great mental torture, made others nervous and more curious.

Those who came back later were in better spirits than the first one, and their magic power had also increased significantly, but similarly, when others talked about the Central Tower to them, they showed a very painful expression on their faces.

After repeated questioning, he would only reveal one word: "Cold."

When someone close to them touched their hands, they immediately jumped away with a grimace and a hiss - is this the temperature that a human body should have?

He almost suspected that he was touching a piece of ice that had been frozen for more than ten years!

"They said we can only stay in the central tower for three days at most. Any longer than that and something might happen. And today is already..."

"The third day." The teacher took over her words and looked at the students again, probably understanding their feelings.

He thought for a moment and said soothingly, "Don't worry too much. If they still haven't come out by the time the deadline comes, the school will naturally send teachers to force their way in."

The top ten students in each class are the treasures of the dean and the president, and of course they will not allow anything to happen to them under their noses.

After hearing his words, the students finally relaxed a little, raised their heads and no longer looked so lifeless. But they still glanced at the clock and then at the door from time to time.

When will they come back? Their little representative.

In the central tower at this moment.

All human voices seemed to have vanished completely. A dim shadow, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, devoured the remaining light in the air. In the silence beneath the earth, only the deep blue water still shimmered with a silky, smooth sheen.

The vibrant lights on the rocks grew quiet, as if resting. After a long pause, they flickered softly, a sign that the person enveloped within was still breathing.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a noise coming from the silent pool.

"boom."

The colorful light shook, as if it was suffering from some violent impact.

Another heavy sound——

"boom"!

This time it finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the invisible barrier it formed was quietly shattered.

A figure wrapped in red flames strode out from the water with the sound of splashing water.

Knowing that there was no one else here at the moment, Chi had no intention of restraining his strength. Rich flames violently gushed out from his body. In this dark central tower, he was like a moving, dazzling sun.

He completed the advancement.

Level 6 is the expected level for a newborn of the Soul Beast species. Chi, in his haste to break out of his shell, fell behind. Fortunately, he wasn't a complete newborn, occasionally unlocking some residual power from the past, allowing him to cultivate much faster than normal. Now, he had finally returned to his proper level.

The excitement brought by the increased strength diluted the mental fatigue after training. The instinctive impulse from the racial blood kept clamoring in Chi's mind, asking him to fight, to kill, to tear his opponents apart, and to feel the temperature of the hot blood splashing on his palms.

Chi suddenly closed his eyes and gasped violently.

No, no, he couldn't let this violent emotion control him. If he lost control, he might bring danger to Jiang Liujing.

The fear of hurting someone important and the murderous intent boiling in his body intertwined and collided, making Chi's mind a mess at the moment.

Amidst the chaos, he followed his most primal instinct and walked towards the nearest pool of water. Every step he took left a burning footprint on the ground.

He walked to the edge of the pool and looked down at the dark blue water. It was quiet and empty, with no one around.

He knew it was just an illusion, that the stones were hiding the person he wanted to see.

"Miaomiao..."

His breathing was rapid and heavy, and his low, hoarse voice seemed to be completely unable to suppress the turmoil in his heart. He stretched out his hand to touch the invisible shield.

He could break it, he had done so before, and he longed to break it and see the person hidden inside - but just before his palm touched the barrier, he stopped.

He can't do this.

Just as he had completed his advancement, the perception coming from the connection point of the contract told Chi that Jiang Liujing was also at the critical moment of breakthrough. Any rash interruption might hinder his breakthrough.

Compared to his eagerness to see him, Chi could not accept the possibility that Miaomiao was injured because of him.

As if icy water had poured over him, reason instantly returned to his mind. Chi forced himself to suppress all the feelings within him. The flames around him gradually died down. Only a small amount remained, acting like a lighting fixture around the pool, scorching the icy air until it was dry and warm.

He sat cross-legged beside the rock, silent, as if he had become one with the rock.

His eyes fell on the dark blue water, motionless.

Chi knew that at this moment, all he could do was wait.

Even though the waiting process is so painful and every second feels as long as a century, he will still wait.

Continuously, continuously waiting. From one cycle of life to the beginning of the next destiny.

He can always wait.
