Chapter 27: Unrequited Love

  No one can describe the fleeting splendor of that moment.

  A tall figure stands quietly, and in an instant, a thunderbolt strikes down the ferocious and tyrannical dark shadow.

  The dark shadow demon was struck by lightning and fell to the ground.

  Mmm, mmm, mm-mm ~~

  All over the body, dense and numerous electric wires are walking around, the body is trembling, a scorched smell is spreading out, everyone feels a strong current, involuntarily numbness in the body, skin, and hair standing on end.

  "Zi……zi huang." The three external instructors saw the newcomer, and a relaxed emotion flashed through their eyes, as if everything had settled. After relaxing, they were again uncontrollably enchanted, an unhidden longing, love.

  "Teacher, teacher is here." The twin sisters, mixed in with the students, lit up at the same time and separated from the crowd, about to go over.

  "Humans... should... die..."

  Evil intentions kept coming intermittently, and the dark shadow was still struggling to climb up.

  "Not dead yet!"

  Zi Huang let out a soft cry, took a step forward, and suddenly burst into electric light in her eyes. Her black hair flew wildly as she raised her hand, concentrated the lightning at her fingertips, and shot out a long, flashing bolt of thunder.

  Splish-splash!

  A blood-red hole appeared on the forehead of the dark shadow, piercing through the back of the head.

  That dazzling long movie pierced through the dark shadow of the skull, still not stopping, rushing straight up, piercing through the ceiling of the restaurant, and disappearing into thin air.

  The power of one thunderclap has reached this point.

  The dark ape's red eyes dimmed instantly and fell straight to the ground.

  In an instant, his whole body was shrouded in black smoke and vanished into thin air.

  After the demon creature died, it was impossible to stay in the mortal world. The corpse dissipated into the abyssal power and returned to the abyssal hell. This is common sense. From this point on, everyone knew that the Shadow Demon had been thoroughly destroyed, without leaving a single trace.

  After a brief silence, the students erupted into thunderous applause.

  "Zi Huang Master, this is the rarely seen Zi Huang Master of Foreign Institute. How can he be so formidable, even more than the legend? It's said that Shadow Form's shadow demons are immune to magic attacks from mages, but how come they can't withstand a single blow under Zi Huang Master's hands? Could it be... has Zi Huang Master already become a mage?"

  "Zi Huang teacher is not sure if he is a top-tier master, but I know that Zi Huang mentor himself is one of the strongest attack variants, thunder system, talent is extremely abnormal."

  "I've never seen Master Zixuan before, only heard that she's extremely mysterious and beautiful. I didn't expect the real person to be ten times more beautiful than the legend. She's absolutely stunning, a true beauty of her generation. From today on, I decide to become Master Zixuan's loyal guardian. No woman can replace Master Zixuan's position in my heart."

  "I am too, Zixuan Master is my idol, my goddess, I will definitely catch up with your footsteps."

  ……

  Innumerable students whispered to each other, discussing heatedly, and even more male students regarded Zihua as their heart's goddess after she effortlessly defeated the Dark Shadow Demon.

  No one noticed after Zixuan killed the Shadow Demon.

  Standing there, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of puzzlement flashed in her purple eyes.

  "I may have the confidence to kill the Shadow Demon, but since it's in shadow form, my Swift Light should not be able to pierce its skull so easily. Has this demon suffered heavy damage before?"

  She was at a loss, the dark shadow corpse had disappeared and it was impossible for her to observe again.

  "Teacher." The twins finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and make their way to Zihuang's side.

  "Are you here too?" Zihuang saw Xuewei and Xueting, and no longer distracted, smiled slightly.

  "We're having dinner with Young Master Xiao Chen here." Xue Wei replied, turning her head to call Xiao Chen over, and also to see Zi Huang.

  "Huh? Where's Young Master? He was just here a moment ago."

  She suddenly found that Xiao Chen was gone, and Xue Tui also looked around in a hurry, but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Chen.

  "What's going on? Where did Young Master Xiao Chen go?"

  Shouting repeatedly, there was no response at all, Xiao Chen had indeed left.

  "Xiao Chen, is that the person you've all been talking about these past few days?" Zi Huang was someone who didn't dwell on things, her mind preoccupied with magic, and to others, she seemed a bit "forgetful". But for many days, Xue Wei and Xue Hua had been whispering in her ear, wanting to go to the Black Blood Swamp to search, and that had also left an impression on her.

  "Yes, Young Master Xiao Chen is back, it's really great."

  "Oh, he's back, looks like he didn't go to the Black Blood Swamp." Zi Huang said calmly.

  "That's not necessarily true, Young Master Xiao Chen's current strength is such that even going to the Black Blood Swamp wouldn't be unusual."

  Xue Wei hastily distinguished, apparently, Xiao Chen's previous battle with the Dark Shadow Demon revealed his strength, even if not as good as Zi Feng, it was absolutely earth-shattering, and no one in the primary magic department could match him.

  "Zi Huang." Three instructors walked up at this time.

  Among them, the wind system instructor Kate held a disheveled person with unkempt hair in her hand, who was still cursing with an unclean mouth: "Let me go, I am Silvia, the daughter of Fenk, the Minister of Finance of the Naruo Kingdom. You dare to catch me, what a big nerve, my father will not let you go."

  Zi Huang no longer inquired about Xiao Chen's affairs and nodded at the three instructors.

  "What's going on with Dark Shadow, who summoned it?"

  "Hmph!" Kate snorted, pushing the woman she was holding: "It's all because of this woman, who has gone mad and is relying on her status as the daughter of the Minister of Finance of the Nalo Kingdom to act lawlessly. She dared to summon a deep abyssal creature in the academy, resulting in the deaths of five students. Does she think that her father can still protect her? The Nalo Kingdom thinks it's above our Tianxing Academy?"

  "You dare to be stubborn even when death is imminent." The earth-type mentor who was almost killed by the Shadow Demon just now glared at Celia with malice.

  "Don't bother about what she says, let the school's discipline department handle it. I have something to do, I'll leave first." Zi Huang said indifferently, waving at the twins before leaving quietly.

  ……

  ……

  Xiao Chen was now sitting in a horse carriage leaving the outer courtyard.

  At this time, he frowned slightly and muttered impatiently: "Damn it, having a crush on a woman, yet not even daring to meet her in person."

  Xiao Chen was just in the restaurant when Zi Huang appeared suddenly.

  He felt something was off.

  This strange feeling was extremely unfamiliar, as if it defied common sense, and had never appeared in his past life.

  Think carefully about it.

  It turned out that it came from the weak soul of "Xiao Chen", and he had a secret crush on a woman, Zihuang.

  Zi Huang's other identity is that of a princess of the Zi Long Kingdom, with a noble and revered status.

  Xiao Chen had been enchanted by the beauty of Zi Feng ever since he saw her at a certain imperial court banquet, and from then on, he planted a seed of love in his heart.

  But didn't mention the gap between their identities.

  Zi Feng, apart from having stunning looks, also possesses a variant of the Thunder System's magical body. With exceptional talent, she was sent to Tian Xing Academy at a young age and has been shining ever since. At thirteen, she entered the inner courtyard, and now, at just eighteen years old, she is already one of the top students in the inner courtyard, destined to become an advanced magician.

  Such a figure is the embodiment of beauty and strength, the shining jewel of the Violet Dragon Kingdom, countless young people from various kingdoms are willing to go through fire and water to protect her.

  It can be said that Zihuang's appeal in the Violet Dragon Kingdom is even greater than that of the king, and she has a goddess-like existence.

  But the humble Xiao Chen, who wet his pants on the battlefield and became a laughing stock for the entire kingdom, is now 16 years old and still holed up in the preparatory class of Tianxing Academy, without even having an official job.

  He and Zihuang are separated by a distance greater than that between a toad looking up at a swan.

  So he didn't dare to reveal a single thread of his emotions, and could only secretly pine away in his heart. Even his decision to attend the Tianxing Academy to study magic wasn't without this reason.

  Because, Zihuang is here.

  This obsession was too strong. After the soul of this body merged with Xiao Chen, it usually didn't show up. But after seeing Zi Huang in person, it burst out.

  "Trash, complete trash."

  As a demon star, acting recklessly and lawlessly is instinctual, how can you be so sordid and timid?

  After being affected by this emotion, he instinctively wanted to suppress it, and even directly expressed his feelings, shocking the whole audience.

  However, after Zihuang took action and killed the Dark Shadow Demon.

  Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks.

  "This woman's strength now far surpasses mine, if I go up, it would be self-inflicted humiliation. It seems that I need to accelerate my cultivation plan, only by making a rapid breakthrough in strength and displaying unparalleled power and potential can I capture this woman's heart."
