Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

In the underground surveillance room of the Nine Heavens Academy.

There were not many places in the [Star Fragmented Sea] where equipment could be installed, so they could only capture the general scene from afar.

Academy Head Jiang looked at the slowly moving black dots on the screen and could not help but smile. “These little fellows are quite smart. Class o is indeed not in vain!”

“This is a trump card that you’ve polished for nearly ten years. How can it have been for nothing?”

As she spoke, Shen Shanshan walked in with a smile and a communication device in her hand. “Uncle Jiang, Academy Head Huang of the Yuheng Academy was looking for you just now. I said that you were in a meeting. What should we do now?”

“Old Huang is looking for me?”

Academy Head Jiang revealed a surprised expression. After thinking for a moment, he reached out to take the communication device and found Huang Tingwei’s number to call.

“Hello? Old Huang?”

Academy Head Jiang pretended to be in a hurry. “I heard that you’re looking for me? Hurry up and tell me. I’m undergoing the internal selection process of the academy!”

Huang Tingwei replied with an ‘oh’ and said, “Then go ahead.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the communication device rang. Academy Head Jiang’s expression froze. He looked at Shen Shanshan in confusion and said, “When he looked for me just now, he didn’t say what was the matter?”

Shen Shanshan shook her head. “Academy Head Huang just said that he wanted to look for you. I said that you were in a meeting. He only asked you to contact him as soon as possible. He didn’t say anything.”

“That’s strange…”

Academy Head Jiang frowned and muttered to himself. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a sinister-looking middle-aged man stood outside with a faint smile.

“Old, Old Huang?”

Academy Head Jiang instantly recognized him. It was Huang Tingwei, who had just contacted him!

After a short moment of shock, Academy Head Jiang returned to his senses and squeezed out a smile. He conveniently turned off the screen of the live broadcast. “Aiya! Old Huang, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? I could have gone to the door to welcome you!”

“You’re so busy every day. How would I dare to trouble you?!”

Huang Tingwei smiled ambiguously and turned his malicious gaze to Shen Shanshan. “I have something to discuss with Academy Head Jiang. Can you leave?”

Shen Shanshan was a little frightened by Huang Tingwei’s gaze, but she still braced herself and stood rooted to the ground. Only when Academy Head Jiang nodded did she hurriedly leave and close the door.

Only the two Academy Heads were left in the room.

Academy Head Jiang stood up to pour tea. Huang Tingwei took the opportunity to sit in Academy Head Jiang’s seat and asked directly, “Is my student Wang Xiao with you?”

Hearing the word “Wang Xiao” , Academy Head Jiang’s hand trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. “Yes, he’s a helper invited by Li Kaifu. He should be in the secret realm now.”

“Helper?”

Huang Tingwei frowned. “I remember that your Nine Heavens Academy didn’t have any rules for inviting outsiders to help in the past, right?”

“You didn’t come all the way here to interrogate me, did you?”

Academy Head Jiang did not answer directly. He handed the teacup to Huang

Tingwei and chuckled meaningfully. “You also took advantage of the situation.

Since everyone knows, there’s no need to be so serious, right?”

Huang Tingwei was stunned when he heard this. “What do you mean by that?”

Academy Head Jiang was also stunned. “You don’t know?”

“What don’t I know?”

Huang Tingwei revealed a puzzled expression. Before Academy Head Jiang could speak, he waved his hand again. “Forget it, let’s get down to business first. I came today to ask you for a favor. I want Wang Xiao to lose here.” This was a mission arranged by Chen Jinrong.

Originally, it was supposed to be carried out in the academy’s ranking assessment, but Huang Tingwei did not want it to affect the academy’s results. Therefore, after hearing that Wang Xiao was participating in the internal selection of the Nine Heavens Academy, he came up with this plan to kill with a borrowed knife.

Academy Head Jiang revealed a suspicious expression. “Have you been too busy recently and exhausted your brain? Wang Xiao should also be a student you’re nurturing, right?”

“It’s precisely because he’s being nurtured that I want him to lose.”

Huang Tingwei said with a serious expression, “This child’s lord path is too smooth. This is not a good thing.”

Academy Head Jiang’s heart skipped a beat. “So you want him to learn a lesson?”

Huang Tingwei nodded. Academy Head Jiang immediately revealed a

dumbfounded expression. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the live broadcast screen again. “Then let’s wait and see together.”

Seeing the slowly moving black dot on the screen, Huang Tingwei was stunned for a moment before reacting. “You were already prepared?”

“I can’t just let your students show off in my academy!” Academy Head Jiang smiled ambiguously.

Huang Tingwei looked at Academy Head Jiang suspiciously. Although he did not believe this reason, he did not ask further. His goal was very simple. He wanted Wang Xiao to experience failure and wake up from his blind confidence.

Unfortunately, these two Academy Heads did not know that Wang Xiao had already tasted a “failure” for more than a month before this…

[Star Fragmented Sea].

As the speed of the Floating Island Turtle increased, the strange thought in Wang Xiao’s heart became stronger. Therefore, after hesitating, he still voiced out his guess.

Li Kaifu immediately became vigilant after hearing this. “If that’s the case, could it be that the other party is also a beast tamer lord since he can control so many giant turtles?”

Wang Xiao touched the rough turtle shell and shook his head. “I don’t think so. These Floating Island Turtles don’t have a [Contract]. They’re just ordinary wild mutated beasts.”

“But if it’s a wild mutated beast, why did it come to receive us?”

Li Kaifu continued to ask. Although Zhou Xiruo did not say anything, it was obvious that she had the same question.

“This is also something I can’t figure out. That’s why I hesitated for so long.”

Wang Xiao shrugged without hiding anything. “It’s also possible that I’m just thinking too much. However, it’s not a solution to keep following them. Let’s leave as soon as possible and find the others.”

After all, this was an elimination round. Even if there was nothing wrong with these [Floating Island Turtles], it was impossible for them to stay here forever.

Li Kaifu and Zhou Xiruo nodded. Wang Xiao was about to summon the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] when Zhou Xiruo suddenly pointed in a certain direction and shouted, “Look! It’s land!”

“Could it be another group of [Floating Island Turtles]?”

Wang Xiao teased and turned around. He realized that there was really an island in the direction they were advancing. It was too far away to see the exact size, but the vegetation on the island was lush. It was clearly a proper land!

“Brother Wang… I kind of believe what you said now.”

Li Kaifu said faintly with a strange expression, “These giant turtles seem to be sending us to the island!”

Wang Xiao also discovered this. Although he did not know why wild mutated beasts would do this, this situation was clearly wrong.

“Everyone, get ready! ”

Wang Xiao suddenly stood up and faced the island. “There might be an ambush on the island!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden flash of fire on the top of the island.. Then, a huge fireball whistled over and smashed towards the “floating island” formed by the giant turtle!
