There was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining seven college students, dragged from the real world into this blessed land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the college students weren’t fools; even if they felt attraction to the etiquette teacher’s appearance, they would never accept her advances under these conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… what if the so-called “teacher-student romance” didn’t require the student’s consent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the etiquette teacher could read minds! That meant Jin Shasha was likely already being watched by her! Wu Xian scratched his curly hair in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he half-hoped Jin Shasha had died last night, hoping her romance with the etiquette teacher wouldn’t endanger Dorm 902’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Wu, Little Wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Xian brooded, Hai Weijiang nudged his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything you said about the blessed land—is it all true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian blinked. “Of course it’s true. After all I’ve told you, you still don’t believe me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, live long enough, see enough weird things, and you stop believing people so easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was young, Hai Weijiang had been obsessed with adventure novels, dreaming of explorers sailing the seas, traveling the world, discovering unknown lands and rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he became a sailor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Weijiang worked diligently on board for years, earned his certification, and rose to crew chief—but he soon realized sailors were just lowly laborers on ships, with nothing to do with real exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saving up some money on the ship, he quit in style and truly became an adventurer, traveling the globe, diving deep into remote forests and isolated islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he never found treasure or became rich overnight like the protagonists of adventure novels; in the real world, even remote mountains and islands had owners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grew old slowly through his explorations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he lost the strength to explore, and could only occasionally visit nearby tourist spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His favorite place was the resort island in Fuyuan City, because it reminded him of his days as a sailor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over his long life, Hai Weijiang had seen many bizarre things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some defied scientific explanation; others were carefully planned scams—so he didn’t immediately believe Wu Xian’s claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as one unbelievable event followed another, until Wu Xian vanished the whetstone out of thin air, he suddenly realized: perhaps Wu Xian hadn’t lied once! Hai Weijiang stared at Wu Xian with eager anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say surviving the blessed land extends your lifespan—is that true too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian nodded. “True—but juanren face too many dangers; most die before reaching their natural lifespan…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Weijiang stamped his feet excitedly, his bearded old face grinning in a way that made Wu Xian feel slightly nauseated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian stared at the old man in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never seen anyone react like this upon learning they’d become a juanren; even when he himself became one, he’d only felt like returning home—safe and at peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hai Weijiang wasn’t happy or excited—he was ecstatic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian even worried the old man might suddenly drop dead from high blood pressure…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After etiquette class ended, there was a period of lunch break before afternoon lessons began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, this was mealtime—but everyone only had three credits, so before the first exam, all students were allowed only one meal per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian planned to use this free time to wander around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out of the classroom building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was startled to see a crowd gathered at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian walked over and saw that, compared to the morning, a notice had been posted on the building’s front door. It read:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Expulsion Notice: Due to violation of student code, Yu Changge, Lei Yang, Zheng Xiaomei… and twenty-seven other students will be expelled. These twenty-seven must report to the principal’s office by 6 PM tonight to complete expulsion procedures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notice also kindly included photos of each student; Wu Xian spotted the dead glasses-wearing man from the language class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian rubbed his chin in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only twenty-seven in the morning? That’s too few… Wait—if these twenty-seven each lost three chances already, the number becomes terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sun Lingchuan isn’t on the list—he wasn’t eaten by animals, meaning his death differs from those who lost all red bars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happens when you’re expelled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you get kicked out and survive—or are you killed outright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian memorized every face on the list, then left the crowded entrance and found a quiet, grassy spot with pleasant surroundings. He sat cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Spirit Technique—Sitting Meditation—requires the juanren to have the five points facing heaven: not just sitting cross-legged, but keeping both palms, both soles, and the crown of the head oriented upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place wasn’t safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two animals wandered nearby; Wu Xian had witnessed firsthand how they devoured Sun Lingchuan that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian chose this spot to test something; even if the two animals attacked, he could kill them easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he assumed the posture, he entered meditative stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, Wu Xian felt warmth suffusing his body, pleasant and soothing. Though his eyes were closed, he vaguely sensed the outside world, and a fiercely violent energy crept into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian reluctantly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of sitting meditation was incredibly comfortable—equivalent to a full-body massage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just ten minutes, he felt his spirit slightly restored and his physical fatigue eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This beats sleeping by far!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two animals still wandered lazily nearby, making no attempt to attack him—or even approach him—as if they were ordinary free-range beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So these animals, like the ‘ghosts,’ only attack when there’s some interaction with humans. Sun Lingchuan died because he deliberately drew them in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian returned to the classroom building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During lunch break, the building was empty and silent; every classroom carried heavy psychological trauma, so no one wanted to stay inside during rest time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian quickly checked two classrooms and found them all cleaned: corpses and bloodstains vanished, broken objects restored to original condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found a first-floor classroom with good sunlight, stepped in carefully, and sat cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the building, Wu Xian also had things to test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-20T14:31:07.793Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","09efec4bf2225dd6d4082c75c2f0aa0d332576fecc31f09c7d52a2b351220571","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-516","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-514",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
