Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 363

It’s late.

It started to rain.

Zhang Xiaoyi left the track and field field with a heavy heart.

He spent the entire evening visiting the study rooms, practice fields, library, and track and field field.

No girls approached him.

The girls were either taking online classes, practicing skills, or quietly reading in the library.

Even the girls jogging at night on the track and field field didn’t initiate contact.

Damn it.

Actually, his own perception was normal, right?

Guo Yunye’s was an abnormal emotional relationship.

Shen Ye—

He only saw him interacting with Song Yinchen.

He must have known Song Yinchen before!

That’s right!

“Wake up, Zhang Xiaoyi, where in the world is there any unprovoked initiative? How can there be such pure girls?”

Zhang Xiaoyi muttered to himself.

He stumbled towards the dormitory building.

“Hello, student?”

A female voice sounded.

Zhang Xiaoyi looked back.

He saw a lively and beautiful girl emerge from a dark corner and ask:

“It’s so late, haven’t you returned to your dorm yet?”

“Ah, yes, aren’t you too?” Zhang Xiaoyi replied.

“Could you walk me to my dorm? It’s too dark, and I’m a little scared,” the girl said timidly.

Initiative!

Zhang Xiaoyi came alive.

“No problem, follow me!” He tried his best to show a sunny smile.

“Thank you,” the girl smiled.

They walked side by side.

“I don’t think I’ve seen you before, you’re not in our grade, are you?” Zhang Xiaoyi secretly glanced at the girl and asked.

“Ah, no, but I’m looking for a few students from your first year,” the girl said.

“Who are you looking for? I probably know the names of all the first-year female students,” Zhang Xiaoyi said.

“Not just female students,” the girl laughed, “Besides Xiao Mengyu, the others are male students, one named Shen Ye, one named Nangong Sirui, and one named Guo Yunye.”

Zhang Xiaoyi was a little surprised, and a little disappointed.

Look.

Even older female students were looking for the three of them.

Damn it.

Tomorrow, I must go to the Nightmare World too!

I also want to pass the trial!

He secretly made up his mind, and said aloud: “They’re not in the dorm right now.”

“Where did they go?” the girl asked in surprise.

“Nangong Sirui is being secretive, I’m not sure; Shen Ye went out for dinner and hasn’t returned; Guo Yunye went to self-study,” Zhang Xiaoyi said.

“Self… study… what is that?” the girl asked.

“It’s self-study, reviewing lessons,” Zhang Xiaoyi said casually, then quickly glanced at the other person.

An expression of sudden realization appeared on the girl’s face.

But Zhang Xiaoyi’s heart quickly sank.

The other party didn’t even know what private study meant.

How could that be.

If that’s truly the case, there’s only one explanation.

The other party is not from this world!

She’s an outsider!

What does she want with Shen Ye and the others?

Damn it.

Until he figures things out, he can’t take her there!

“Student, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You can go find them yourself, I’ll be leaving now.”

Zhang Xiaoyi said.

“Don’t be in a hurry.”

The girl gently pressed her hand on his shoulder, her smile vanished, and her voice became cold:

“If you don’t want to die, take me there.”

Zhang Xiaoyi felt a surge of power from the other party’s hand, darting through his body, and wherever it went, an unimaginable pain erupted.

“Ugh…”

He groaned.

The girl pressed down harder, her voice full of killing intent:

“I warn you, screaming will also lead to death.”

“Now, hurry up, take me to that Guo Yunye who’s doing self-study.”

Zhang Xiaoyi barely managed to move his feet, walking towards the teaching building.

—No!

If he took her there, wouldn’t Guo Yunye be doomed?

But if he didn’t go, she would kill him.

Who could help?

No one!

This guy was too strong, he was no match at all, and he was being controlled by her.

Zhang Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his mind racing as he walked, and suddenly thought of someone.

That’s it!

He had just mentioned Shen Ye and the two others, but not Xiao Mengyu.

This girl probably thought he didn’t know Xiao Mengyu’s whereabouts, so she didn’t press further.

But he seemed to know where Xiao Mengyu was!

He saw Xiao Mengyu go to another teaching building during dinner.

He originally thought she was going to find Shen Ye.

But Shen Ye and Song Yinchen went out to eat together.

Xiao Mengyu might still be in the teaching building!

Perhaps she just went to self-study!

If he found her…

She was the strongest among all the students.

Several teachers had commented on her sword, saying that after it was forged, it was extremely powerful and the best weapon for killing.

One teacher gave a vivid analogy:

“Going to kill a professional with this sword is like an ordinary person killing another ordinary person with a gun.”

Xiao Mengyu.

Please be in the teaching building.

As long as you can block the enemy for a moment, I can immediately use my card to call for help!

Zhang Xiaoyi prayed silently in his heart.

He hadn’t walked far when he suddenly saw a young girl walking out of the teaching building, head lowered, coming straight towards him.

It was Xiao Mengyu!

But the girl beside him had no reaction.

The girl just continued to grab his shoulder, leading him towards the teaching building.

—She still thought he was taking her to Guo Yunye.

Guo Yunye is a boy.

So she unconsciously didn’t pay attention to Xiao Mengyu coming towards her?

Or she didn’t even know Xiao Mengyu!

Thoughts flashed through Zhang Xiaoyi’s mind non-stop, while he quickly assessed Xiao Mengyu, seeing her with knitted brows, tearful eyes, and a dejected expression.

Where is her sword?

She didn’t bring her sword today?

Then it’s over.

Zhang Xiaoyi’s heart sank, then he gritted his teeth.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

As soon as Xiao Mengyu leaves here, I’ll pull out my card.

I must at least give a warning before I die!

Just as he was thinking, he saw Xiao Mengyu stop.

Don’t stop.

Hurry up and leave, get out of here!

Zhang Xiaoyi muttered in his heart.

“Zhang Xiaoyi,” Xiao Mengyu said, “Is this your girlfriend?”

Zhang Xiaoyi wanted to speak, but found he couldn’t open his mouth.

The girl timidly spoke:

“Yes, and who are you?”

“I am—”

The sword light flashed.

The girl instantly retreated, but couldn’t avoid it, so she had to raise her hand to block in front of her.

Clang clang clang clang!

A series of metallic clashes rang out.

The metal bracers on the girl’s arms blocked the sword’s gleam.

“Such skill… at least above the fifth level of the Dharma Realm. Zhang Xiaoyi couldn’t get a girlfriend like you, who are you?”

Xiao Mengyu asked coldly.

She took a few steps forward, shielding Zhang Xiaoyi behind her.

Zhang Xiaoyi immediately pulled out his card, and just as he was about to activate the emergency school call on it, he noticed the card was already flashing red light.

Someone had already triggered the alarm.

Who?

He saw the card in Xiao Mengyu’s hand flash, then quickly put away.

In that brief moment of contact, Xiao Mengyu had made the correct judgment, taken action to save someone, and even triggered the alarm.

Her reaction was too fast!

The girl moved her arm, then smiled and said:

“With such weak strength, you dare to attack. I suppose you’re relying on that sword.”

“Oh, right, your swordsmanship isn’t bad either, but your skill level is too poor.”

The girl suddenly disappeared from where she stood.

“Die!”

She appeared behind Xiao Mengyu and spat out a single word.

At this moment, neither Xiao Mengyu nor Zhang Xiaoyi had any time to react.

In terms of agility alone, the opponent had a crushing advantage of several times!

Her hand went straight for Xiao Mengyu’s heart.

The battle would end in an instant!

Swat.

The girl’s hand was slapped away by something.

Immediately after, a man appeared.

Chou Wanshu!

This was the principal of Xirang High School, known as the “Judge of Purgatory”!

“Attacking students on campus is an unforgivable act.”

Before he finished speaking, an endless blank Dharma Realm flashed by.

Chou Wanshu and the girl disappeared from the real world together, heading to the Dharma Realm to fight.

Only Xiao Mengyu and Zhang Xiaoyi remained.

Suddenly, the void flashed.

A man with a cigarette in his mouth appeared in front of them.

Xu Xingke!

Xiao Mengyu and Zhang Xiaoyi immediately relaxed.

—This was Shen Ye’s teacher, a master of the Tower of Tarot!

“What happened just now?”

Xu Xingke asked.

“That person isn’t from our world; she’s looking for the four students who passed the Immortal Kingdom trial,” Zhang Xiaoyi said.

Xu Xingke gave him an approving look.

—Among the students who passed the Immortal Kingdom trial was Xiao Mengyu.

But Xiao Mengyu was standing right beside him, yet Zhang Xiaoyi didn’t look at her, nor did he mention her name.

Caution is right!

Xu Xingke took out a card and said to it:

“Many masters have arrived at the school, presumably wanting to seize the four students and monopolize all opportunities to communicate with the Great Tomb Immortal Kingdom.”

“Issue a mobilization order! All professionals above Dharma Realm Level 8, come immediately to protect Xirang High School!”

A light flashed on the card and quickly disappeared.

Xu Xingke then said, “Open the bunkers, open the underground passages. All students can enter them to take shelter.”

Rumble rumble rumble—

The entire campus ground vibrated slightly a few times.

Zhang Xiaoyi pulled out his card and saw a line of text appear on it:

“You are now authorized to teleport to the underground shelter at any time.”

Saved!

The underground shelter was formerly the outer passage of the Great Tomb, later converted into various defensive safe rooms to cope with events like air raids.

No one knew why such defensive measures were put in place, as neither of the other two high schools had them.

But the school was designed this way.

He never thought that this design, which countless people criticized, would come in handy today.

“Teleport.”

Zhang Xiaoyi shouted, and immediately, he and his card disappeared from where they stood.

Xiao Mengyu remained.

“Why aren’t you leaving?” Xu Xingke asked.

He looked into the distance.

Several figures silently appeared on the lawn, looking towards him.

Xiao Mengyu’s expression was a bit conflicted.

But now she didn’t have the right to be willful, couldn’t stay here to cause trouble, and had to leave.

“Teleport.”

Swish—

She disappeared from where she stood and reappeared in an empty room.

This was one of the many underground shelters; its exterior was rock, and inside the rock was a layer of magic arrays that isolated气息 and sound, with an independent safe room at the very end.

The room had a desk, a bed, a shower, and a toilet.

In the corner stood a human-height box, full of various long-lasting foods.

Xiao Mengyu sat down at the desk and sighed dejectedly.

“You’re very disappointed.”

A voice suddenly sounded, startling Xiao Mengyu, who leaped up, her long sword unsheathed and landed on the edge of the bed.

“Who?”

She asked in a low voice.

A phantom figure quietly appeared.

A little girl, about seven or eight years old, sat on the desk, looking at Xiao Mengyu with curiosity.

The little girl was very cute and very beautiful.

She was wearing a pink vest, a white skirt, bunny slippers, and carrying six sealed bottles of beer in her hand.

—She looked like an ordinary child sent by an adult to buy wine downstairs.

However, how could an ordinary child appear here directly?

She didn’t trigger any defense measures!

“Don’t be nervous, I just came to take a look – after all, it’s an Immortal Kingdom.”

The little girl waved her hand.

Xiao Mengyu looked at her innocent appearance, thought for a moment, and said:

“Are you looking for me?”

“Not originally, but I saw your sword technique was quite good. What’s its name?”

“Exiled Immortal Descending.”

“Good name, good swordsmanship, but unfortunately your own strength is insufficient, so you cannot unleash its true power.”

“…That is precisely the case.”

The little girl continued in an adult tone: “My family has some connection with the Immortal Kingdom, and my family sent me to see if I could help.”

“How old are you?” Xiao Mengyu looked at her and asked.

“Eight years old,” the little girl said.

“How many layers of the Dharma Realm?”

“Four layers.”

Only four layers?

Xiao Mengyu sensed the aura around the other person.

It seemed to be true.

But the little girl took out a turtle shell emitting a colorful glow and said:

“The reason I can get in is because this treasure can pass through many things and directly reach its destination.”

“If it weren’t for it, I wouldn’t have the ability to sneak in here.”

So, she has the strength of a fourth-level Dharma Realm practitioner, protected by a treasure.

But she’s only eight years old.

A flash of anger crossed Xiao Mengyu’s face, but her voice became even softer:

“Your family’s adults are really irresponsible – it’s quite dangerous here, many adults will participate in the battle, they are all masters of the ninth level of the Dharma Realm, and their true strength has long surpassed the ninth level, I don’t know how high it is.”

The little girl was a bit flustered and couldn’t help but say, “But my family insisted that I come to see and experience it, to broaden my horizons.”

Xiao Mengyu sighed and said:

“If you really have no ill intentions, then stay with me, and when it’s safe outside, I’ll take you out to see.”

“Just now, big sister seemed sad. Why was that?” the little girl asked curiously.

“My strength is too low, I’m a bit unwilling, but it’s nothing; I will work twice as hard in the future,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Big sister is already great! You know, many people can’t truly get started with swordsmanship in their entire lives!”

The little girl held up her thumb.

Xiao Mengyu chuckled and said, “You think I’ve gotten started?”

“Big sister is just one step away from getting started!” the little girl said with an astonished tone.

Just one step away!

Alright.

Even a child under nine years old from another universe thinks her swordsmanship hasn’t even reached the beginner level.

“I will continue to work hard.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

She put away her sword, jumped off the bed, and went to rummage through the box in the corner.

“Are you hungry? There’s food here – oh, by the way, I still don’t know your name.”

The little girl glanced at her, a slight curve on her lips:

“My name is Gu Nianxue, you can just call me Xue’er.”

“Nice name, I’m Xiao Mengyu, let’s eat together later.” Xiao Mengyu rummaged through the box, trying to find food suitable for a child’s taste.

“Sister Xiao, there’s something I need your help with,” Gu Nianxue said.

“What?”

“My family’s adults keep telling me to come here and also to buy wine; they’re always bossing me around, it’s so annoying.”

“I’ll leave this to Sister Xiao, and it counts as me having completed the task of ‘checking in’.”

“See you when I have the chance!”

The little girl placed a piece of white jade on the table, then, with a flash, her figure suddenly vanished.

Xiao Mengyu was stunned.

Gu Nianxue came and went like a ghost, disappearing as quickly as she arrived, and with a strength of only Dharma Realm Level Four, how could she traverse universes so easily?

This matter cannot be dwelled upon; the more one thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

It seems…

Ever since the Immortal Kingdom reawakened, the entire world has become unpredictable.

All sorts of incredible figures have appeared one after another.

Who knows what will happen in the future.

Xiao Mengyu sighed and walked to the table, staring at the white jade.

This was a palm-sized, rectangular piece of white jade, with a warm and smooth, creamy white surface that felt cool to the touch.

She should take it back and have it tested through various family methods.

At least she needs to figure out what’s inside and if it’s safe before deciding whether to use it.

Xiao Mengyu thought silently.

However, the next second, an unexpected change occurred—

A misty aura emanated from the white jade, instantly transforming into a sword glow that immersed itself in Xiao Mengyu’s glabella.

Whoosh!

As the sword light departed, the entire piece of white jade immediately lost its luster, its surface covered in cracks, and then it shattered completely.

Xiao Mengyu felt as if she had been struck in the head, standing motionless.

Endless sword intent rose and fell in her mind.

A gentle voice rang out:

“Watch closely, this is how a sword is used.”
