“Hmm? Chen Ling, is that you…” In his embrace, Sui Li’er couldn’t see anything, so she instinctively extended her little hand forward to feel around.

She ended up touching Chen Ling’s face, “Hmm? What… is this?”

Chen Ling helplessly remarked, “That’s my nostril.”

“Ah!?!” Sui Li’er was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, raising her little thumb in the darkness, not knowing what to do…

Chen Ling’s vision wasn’t affected by the black mist, and seeing the disgusted expression on Sui Li’er’s face, he couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “Godly boogers are a great tonic, give them a try.”

Sui Li’er: ???

“I don’t believe you! Humph~ Trying to trick me~”

Chen Ling smiled, took out a piece of paper, wiped her little thumb, and then casually tossed it aside. Littering!

People nearby: “What just floated into my mouth? Why is it so salty?”

Sui Li’er: ???

Suddenly, a burst of energy erupted beside her!

Energy surged around, startling everyone.

“Who!?”

At this moment, the person next to them spoke again: “It’s alright… I accidentally made a breakthrough…”

That person went from a low-level Intermediate mage directly to a high-level Intermediate mage…

“You scared me! Next time, announce it before you break through!”

“Sorry, sorry…”

That person was also quite bewildered. How did he suddenly break through, and in one go, without any hindrance… This was just bizarre!

Even though she couldn’t see, Sui Li’er still stared dumbfoundedly in the direction of the sound. She was stunned.

Inwardly: He definitely ate Chen Ling’s booger!

Godly boogers… can they really be a great tonic!?

Seeing her astonished expression, Chen Ling couldn’t resist gently pinching her little face.

“Um~ don’t pinch…”

Chen Ling pretended to be startled, “I didn’t touch you though?”

“Hmm? Really? Then that thing…”

Chen Ling grinned and leaned in gently, giving her cheek a soft kiss!

“Mwah~” Stealing a kiss blatantly! Huhu~

Sui Li’er was stunned for a moment, fearfully exclaiming, “Chen… Chen Ling! Just now, something touched my face again!”

Sui Li’er couldn’t see anything at all. She quickly sought refuge in Chen Ling’s embrace, trembling with fear. She extended her arm tightly around his neck, burying her little face in his chest. While protecting her face, she asked fearfully, “Is that you, Chen Ling? Don’t scare me… sob~”

Chen Ling smiled and said, “Of course it’s me, silly, I was just kidding.”

Inner thoughts: Get up quickly so I can steal a couple of kisses~

“Hmph~” However, Sui Li’er remained nestled in his arms and didn’t want to get up. She mumbled softly, “I won’t let you pinch me~”

Just then, Yan Ran spoke again, “Let’s continue forward. This mist probably isn’t… “

“Boom!”

Before she could finish speaking, there was a thunderous sound, followed by an angry shout.

“Get out!”

The voice seemed to carry immense power, causing goosebumps and a tingling sensation all over, like a million sound engineers couldn’t create such electrifying sound effects.

“Who!? Who’s speaking!” Yan Ran angrily shouted, and at the same time, golden runes illuminated and her aura surged.

All the mentors did the same, immediately erecting defensive spells to protect the students around them through aura lock.

“Boom!”

Another thunderous sound resounded, casting a golden hue across the black mist.

“Look at the sky, mentors! There’s a pair of big eyes up there!”

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads to the sky, but the lightning had already passed, leaving everything in darkness again. The sky was the same—nothing could be seen.

“Get out!”

That voice roared angrily once more.

The sound reverberated within the mist, reaching into the depths of everyone’s souls. The power of thunder seemed to invade their mental seas, causing their spiritual strength to tingle.

“Ugh~” Sui Li’er in Chen Ling’s arms trembled slightly and held onto his body more tightly.

Chen Ling squinted his eyes and looked up at the black mist in the sky; what’s that? Are the dark clouds turning into spirits?

But no matter what you are…

You scared my wife, be prepared.

So, Chen Ling slowly opened his mouth: “Scram!”

Firm and resolute!

The voice reached everyone’s souls directly, dispelling the thunderous force that had momentarily clouded their minds. Everyone became clear-headed again.

However, the voice effect Chen Ling produced was even more terrifying. At this moment, an illusion appeared before their eyes, as if there were a pair of giant eyes hovering above the entire world.

Those were the eyes of a god, peering into the lives of all beings. It sent shivers down their spines and filled them with a sense of fear.

At the same time, an energy erupted from within Chen Ling.

“Hmm~”

In an instant, the mighty energy reached the black mist in the sky.

“Phew~” Like a punch hitting a cotton ball, the black mist was instantly dispersed.

The black mist that had shrouded everyone and even the milky white mist disappeared. The surroundings became clear in an instant.

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, and their gazes ultimately fell on Chen Ling. There was no doubt that the voice from earlier belonged to him.

A mentor quickly flattered, seeing the situation: “We are grateful for the intervention of Curse Master Chen. Your abilities are truly extraordinary!”

Others quickly followed suit and flattered extensively.

Chen Ling simply said, “Don’t waste words next time.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent: “…”

There are actually people who don’t like flattery?

Perhaps this big shot prefers being low-key…

Chen Ling just found it noisy.

After the mist dispersed, it quickly returned, but this time without the black mist. Simultaneously, the milky white mist gradually thinned, indicating that they were nearing the interior of the secret realm.

Soon, the discussions began about what had just occurred:

“I think I saw the Eye of God just now.”

“Hey, I saw it too! It was a huge eye! It looked really scary.”

“Could that be… Chen… Curse Master Chen’s eye?”

“How could that be? I think it might have been some kind of hallucination-inducing magic.”

“I think so too. It might be a spell that helps us regain our senses.”

Chen Ling’s powerful angry shout did indeed induce hallucinogenic effects on those with weaker mental strength, but it wasn’t magic.

Sui Li’er naturally hadn’t seen it. Chen Ling treated her more gently and softly erased the thunderous force from her mental sea.

“Hehe~” Seeing the mist growing thinner, Sui Li’er’s courage grew. She got up from Chen Ling’s embrace and looked at him with joy.

〚 Ding~ Sui Sui is happy~ Points +1 billion~ 〛

〚 Sui Sui is shy~ Points +1 billion~ 〛

〚 97 Dark mages despair, Points -600 million~ 〛

Those dark mages, witnessing Sui Sui racking up points like crazy, were flabbergasted…

When would this come to an end?

Meanwhile, in the sky above, a dark figure, resembling a person, floated above the crowd. This dark silhouette had two large silver eyes that looked down intently at the ground, at Chen Ling holding Sui Li’er.

Even though the ground was covered in mist and a normal person couldn’t see anything, it could see.

It couldn’t help but murmur, “Who is this person? Such terrifying strength?”

Just as it was gazing at Chen Ling, he suddenly raised his head while holding Sui Li’er. Likewise, his gaze pierced through the layers of white mist, locking onto that dark figure.

The figure’s heart jolted, and it immediately dissipated, vanishing in an instant. As if it had never appeared at all.

Chen Ling sneered in his heart: Running quite fast.

However, even he didn’t know exactly what that thing was.
