Inside the isolated training room for the advanced martial arts class, Feng Yuhuai changed into a white training suit and was frantically punching at the testing equipment.
With each punch, the display showed a series of values.
Fist Power 2.4 level
Attack Speed 3.2 frequency
Technique 2.8 stage
"Oh my god, Yuhuai, your values are skyrocketing like a rocket, you're almost catching up with the top in the grade!" Next to her, a girl with two ponytails couldn't help but exclaim.
"Quick, tell us, how did you do it? I remember you were just tested last week, and in such a short time, your values have increased by over 30%. How are the rest of us supposed to survive with your rate of improvement?"
Another girl with a few freckles on her face also came over, her tone exaggerated and tinged with a barely noticeable jealousy.
Previously, Feng Yuhuai would have enjoyed these compliments and praise, but today, she only felt a heaviness in her heart, forcing a smile on her face.
"Yesterday, I refined a Bone Refining Pill, and coincidentally, the Snake Transformation Force also broke through, allowing me to touch the Power." Feng Yuhuai said this.
In fact, she hadn't even had the chance to digest the Bone Refining Pill, which was still hidden under her pillow at home. Her rapid improvement was entirely due to...
"Oh, no wonder you were late this morning," the ponytailed girl said with a smile. "Did you stay up refining the elixir at home last night? Tsk tsk, Yuhuai, you already have exceptional talent, and now you've refined a Bone Refining Pill, we can only look up to you in awe."
Instructor Guo Feng walked over, glanced at the values on the screen, his thick black eyebrows arched, and he praised, "Very good, keep up the good work, maintain the progress, and you might have a chance to test out of Zone 9, reach the thresholds of those top universities, your future is bright."
A subtle gloom flashed in Feng Yuhuai's eyes, her pale face nodded slightly: "Thank you, Instructor Guo, I'll keep working hard."
Instructor Guo slightly furrowed his brow, showing concern: "Your complexion doesn't look good, did you not rest well?"
Feng Yuhuai nodded weakly: "Yes, refined elixir last night, didn't sleep all night, might be a little tired, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable."
Guo Feng: "I'll give you a leave note, don't attend classes today, go back to the dormitory and rest. In martial arts, though we emphasize vigorous progress, balance is crucial, don't overstrain yourself."
The freckled girl forced a somewhat unnatural smile and said: "Yeah, Yuhuai, don't push yourself too hard, a day of rest won't set you back in class. Um, let Lu Yazhi accompany you back to the dormitory to rest."
With that said, the freckled girl turned her head to look around, asking suspiciously, "Strange, where's Lu Yazhi, didn't she come to class?"
The ponytailed girl also looked around, agreeing, "I don't seem to have seen Lu Yazhi all morning, oh, and it seems like Yang Tuo didn't come to class today either."
Feng Yuhuai's face grew even paler. She gently pressed her abdomen, trying her best to suppress the nausea that was about to burst forth, her voice tinged with resilience: "No need to trouble others, I'll just go back to the dormitory and rest for a while by myself."
She slowly stood up, preparing to leave the classroom with slow steps, but at that moment, a deep blue uniform of the patrol office appeared at the door, the badge on the uniform gleaming with a cold light under the lamp.
This uniform was not unfamiliar to Feng Yuhuai, even imparting a sense of kinship.
She had witnessed Feng Ju countless times wearing such a uniform since childhood, but now, as this familiar uniform stepped into the classroom, Feng Yuhuai's heart suddenly contracted, an indescribable fear inundated her like a tide, engulfing her wholly, the endless fear permeating through the air, enveloping every inch of her skin.
The profound fear cut through Feng Yuhuai's intestines like a sharp blade, she tightly covered her mouth, her face turning as pale as paper in an instant, leaving no trace of blood.
"Who is Feng Yuhuai?"
Chang Erbing walked into the classroom, his gaze sharp as a knife swept through the room, his voice coldly questioning the approaching Instructor Guo Feng.
Instructor Guo was slightly stunned, feeling somewhat puzzled by Chang Erbing's sudden appearance and questioning, just about to explain.
Suddenly, "Ah——" a piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the classroom, the sound coming from the hallway, filled with terror.
Instructor Guo Feng rushed out of the classroom, striding along the hallway swiftly, heading straight to the source of the scream—the girls' restroom.
At the restroom entrance, a girl in a training suit was crouched on the ground, her face full of fear, her lips trembling, her gaze fixedly staring at a certain stall inside.
"Xue Xiaomei, what happened?" Instructor Guo Feng quickly squatted down, holding Xue Xiaomei's shoulder firmly with one hand.
Xue Xiaomei seemed to wake from her terror, her fingers trembling as she pointed to the stall, her voice carrying an unmistakable panic: "Corp—corpse!"
Instructor Guo Feng's face changed drastically, barely having time to think, when Chang Erbing, following closely, had already stepped past them, rushing to the stall Xue Xiaomei was pointing to.
The door opened with a creak, and Instructor Guo Feng, along with a group of hastily assembled students, filed in, their eyes simultaneously fixed onto the stall.
There lay a chilling corpse sitting quietly inside, completely unclothed, its skin tautly hugging the bones, shriveled and sunken, resembling a skeleton eroded by time, its former appearance and gender indistinguishable.
The corpse was seated on the toilet in an extremely twisted posture, its arms and legs contorted at inhuman angles, with its head and neck rotated impossibly by 180 degrees, creating a dreadful visual impact.
At first glance, the corpse resembled a monstrous spider cobbled together from decaying flesh, obnoxiously crouched atop the toilet, its sagging pale eyeballs seemingly glaring out in unrequited defiance, sending a shiver down the spine of every student who dared to meet its gaze.
"Ugh—"
Feng Yuhuai's face was as pale as paper, and at the moment her gaze intertwined with that terrifying corpse, she felt a sourness well up in her throat, as if her very organs were about to be expelled.
Seemingly frightened by the horrific scene, she dared not cross the restroom's threshold, vomiting a pool of gastric acid right at the doorway.
Onlookers quickly retreated, a few unable to resist the churning in their own stomachs, beginning to retch uncontrollably.
Chang Erbing stared fixedly at the corpse on the toilet, as a Chief Constable, his threshold for blood and horror was high, yet confronting this corpse still stirred discomfort within him.
"Dehydration, mummified, quite similar to Director Wang's case."
Chang Erbing's pupils suddenly contracted, a startling speculation flashed through his mind: "Could it be, this corpse is the work of [Mask]? Is [Mask] lurking within this school?"
