Its body split open in several places, and thorny vines sprouted forth, each blooming with a succession of vivid red roses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mi grabbed the monster’s head with both hands and yanked it bodily from the bin, gripping one shoulder in each hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, aaah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riiip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mi had just torn apart a malevolent spirit before everyone’s eyes. Previously, the black monsters Su Mi had slain were also dispatched together with Wen Tinghua, so here Su Mi rightly helped Wen Tinghua secure a stalk—this did not violate the Juan people’s agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seed Wen Tinghua had just thrown into the monster’s mouth was a rose seed, drawn from her Blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Blessing came from the “Immortal of a Hundred Flowers,” named 【Marvelous Brush Blooms】: Wen Tinghua received a special brush; by spinning it, she could conjure a flower or a seed—she had used this Blessing earlier to perform magic for Jin Shasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mi tearing apart a malevolent spirit bare-handed looked extravagant—and it truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bore the combined Blessings of the “Southern Sea Guardian Mountain God” and the “Water Official—Ten-Tailed Tian Wu,” named 【Tiger Back, Bear Waist】! This Blessing granted him the strength of both bear and tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own muscular frame was already monstrous; with this Blessing, his physique became grotesquely superhuman—only then could he rip apart malevolent spirits with his bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the fourth black monster was slain, the remaining black liquid could barely form one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Tiantian seized the right to kill this one, casting a Golden Light Talisman that punched a gap through the monster’s chest with golden radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leftover black liquid was insufficient to summon another monster, so everyone returned the bins to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the dorm supervisor appeared again, grumbling, and swept both corpses into her dustpan—but this time, the group wasn’t nearly as afraid of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t a teacher; she couldn’t kill them by rules. Why should they fear her? Once the supervisor descended the stairs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the group could finally return to their dorm to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even in rest, none could get into bed, for dorm rules forbade anyone from being on beds during daytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group had only eaten breakfast and endured so much exertion; their strength was already drained. All necessary words had been spoken outside, so they all lay on the floor to conserve energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian sat cross-legged. His performance of the Blood Spike Silk during the slaying of the black monster had greatly satisfied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely lengthening the Fire Cloud Cloth and adding spikes during attack would not elevate the Ghost Drawing Talisman’s power beyond ordinary talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the flames erupting from the wounds, the effect of the “Ghost—Long Character” far surpassed mundane talismans, nearing that of precious ones; the power of the “Ghost—Insect Devouring Spell” should also be approaching precious spell-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wu Xian opened his Imperial Permit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The permit now carried a new description of the Black Incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polluted Black Incense: Unqualified students became trash, but the trash refused to leave campus; their resentment condensed into black liquid, recurring endlessly in trash bins. This Black Incense has been corrupted by resentment—using it to worship deities will inevitably trigger negative effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s lip twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder monster-clearing was so convenient in the dorm—turns out the Black Incense dropped from clearing carried negative effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet negative effects from worship, depending on usage, sometimes yielded positive gains, so Wu Xian wouldn’t abandon using this Black Incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the Black Incense and teased: “I don’t mind you—can’t you stop minding me? Tell me where the deity statue is, alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this question received no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian shook his head and began meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than ten minutes into meditation, Wu Xian frowned and opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meditation had just delivered\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one good piece of news—and one bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good: he’d just discovered that “Ghost Technique—Ghost Drawing” was automatically gathering Yin Qi; even without meditation, he could gain one Ghost Drawing per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad: the dorm building was too clean. Meditating on the playground gathered demonic intent; meditating in the classroom building gathered Yin Qi—but in the dorm building, both progress bars moved sluggishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he meditated in the classroom building until morning, Wu Xian could gain at least three extra Ghost Drawings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dorm building, even meditating until morning would yield only one extra—plus the one automatically gained, totaling just two Ghost Drawings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian pulled back the curtain and gazed out the window—the sky was still not dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I go out and explore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a long while, then decided to stay in the dorm. This was only the first official day at the Immigrant School; the campus still held countless unknowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The malevolent spirits in the bathrooms, the Student Union’s stance, the teachers’ positions, what exactly were study companions, the cafeteria, the dorm supervisor, the animals, the principal, what did expulsion mean, where did the teaching assistants come from, what would happen with teacher-student romance…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh—problems piled upon problems. Just take it one step at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian resumed meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly; soon night fell. The four rose from the floor and climbed onto their beds to rest and conserve energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the four in the dorm had changed their sleeping directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Su Mi and Jin Shasha, Wu Xian and Wen Tinghua, had each slept foot-to-foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the inspection teacher came to check, to see their faces, they had to climb onto the beds one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they switched to head-to-head, so the inspection teacher only needed to walk up the steps between the beds to see their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more need to crawl over them laboriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-20T14:31:07.793Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","93585b95b63e0702101cfb646b3c944fb9807018a86c92fea0dfba236a65389f","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-522","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-520",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
