Pfft! Just like in PE class, where the Student Union deliberately created rules for delivering equipment, etiquette class also had its own manufactured rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian originally planned to sacrifice his looks, attempting a forbidden romance with the etiquette teacher to obtain crucial intelligence…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every time Wu Xian gazed tenderly at the teacher’s radiant face, his mind involuntarily flashed back to the horrifying, skinless face he’d seen the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nearly vomited several times! Worse still, despite feeling utterly nauseated, Wu Xian had to control himself and absolutely refrain from having any improper thoughts about the etiquette teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he’d violate the rule: “Respect your teachers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several attempts, Wu Xian confirmed that human capacity has limits—even he had things he simply couldn’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wu Xian turned to Jin Shasha; perhaps the intelligence on the etiquette teacher could only be unlocked through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the plan to sabotage the Student Union members was proceeding smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny insect hidden in his clothes was extremely discreet; as long as Wu Xian brushed past his target, he could silently complete the “parasite implantation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian could also place the Shadow-Yellow Spring Dragon Louse on ordinary students, using them as intermediaries to transmit the lice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lice climbed onto a Student Union member’s body, they wouldn’t attack immediately—they lay dormant, waiting until all lice were in place, then burrowed into the members’ bodies at Wu Xian’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excruciating pain caused these Student Union members to cry out, their bodies involuntarily jerking, then repeatedly brushing against the room’s wind chimes, causing them to be suspended midair by the etiquette teacher, stripped of all resistance, left helpless as the lice devoured them completely…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After etiquette class ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the previous open field, the surviving Juan people and new arrivals gradually arrived; everyone was now thoroughly familiar with the course, so no one died during today’s session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian opened his degree certificate and saw that the number of statues in the training center had increased from yesterday—there were now over thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waiting a long while, the group still wasn’t complete—Xu Yuening, the female college student, was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian had important matters to discuss today and didn’t want to delay, so he frowned and asked those around him: “Does anyone know where she is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Tinghua paused: “I saw her just during third period—after class, she grabbed Liu Siyi and rushed out quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female college student Liu Siyi whispered: “Yueling said she was so hungry she was going mad, couldn’t take it anymore, and asked me to accompany her to the Student Union to exchange credits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m too timid—I didn’t dare go with her, and Zhenghao …”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Liu Siyi suddenly felt a sharp gaze and paused briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ Zhenghao  I was delayed by some matters, so she went alone to exchange credits. Maybe… maybe she’s already dead in the Student Union.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma San snorted: “She sneaked off to the Student Union—probably to betray us. If she died there, it’d be a good thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Shutong shook her head: “She asked me before about the procedure for exchanging lifespan for credits. She’s young, and as a Juan person, she can keep gaining lifespan—I don’t think she’d betray us for that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma San sneered and turned away: “Hah, you believe her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian sharply turned to Ma San and his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Liu Siyi spoke, Ma San secretly glared at her—after being stared at, she swallowed the rest of what she was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in Wu Xian’s view,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sequence of events was clear: someone had encountered Xu Yuening on her way home, assumed she intended to betray the group to the Student Union, and replaced Liu Siyi by accompanying Xu Yuening to the Student Union, then murdered her en route. That person was likely Ma San or Kang Tiantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma San had previously sacrificed an entire world to steal the “Immortal Talisman,” and he’d also voiced concerns to Wu Xian the day before about new arrivals reporting to the Student Union.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this was exactly the kind of thing Ma San would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian didn’t jump to conclusions, nor did he confront Ma San—yet his judgment of Ma San had tilted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuening never appeared, and the group couldn’t wait indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they began compiling today’s intelligence—everyone had discoveries and offered valuable information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Tinghua found some photos during class break and shared them with the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The photos showed graduation portraits of students from the training center, all taken in front of thatched huts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every student in the photos smiled brightly, clearly genuinely happy about graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were six teachers: PE teacher Guo Xiaodong and language teachers were among them; the other four were unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian examined them and confirmed one was the red-clad woman from the restroom, another was the room-checking teacher; the remaining two, he had no memory of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All matched perfectly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the group stood a stone statue of the Earth God; sunlight fell on its face, casting shadows that made the silent statue appear to be smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were thirty-five photos total—matching the roster Wu Xian had seen—meaning the training center’s transformation occurred during the thirty-sixth cohort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Weijiang had sketched a complete map of the places he’d visited, giving everyone a clearer picture of the training center’s layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Shutong and Su Mi uncovered a murder case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the training center’s history, a serial murder occurred: students were frequently found dead in their dorm beds the next morning, hacked to pieces with knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only common trait: they all liked sleeping with their heads covered by blankets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from then on that the rules “Nightroom inspections” and “No covering your head while sleeping” were instituted…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Wuji Ge, Xu Shen, and others contributed useful information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time in the Fudi increased, others, like Wu Xian, began adapting to its rhythm—not only securing their own safety but also gaining the capacity to explore the Fudi’s secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone had finished sharing their intelligence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was Wu Xian’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian recounted everything he’d discovered after sneaking into the PE storage warehouse, emphasizing the cyclical rotation among the six classes: “Celestial Class,” “Beast Class,” and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In summary, in this Fudi, there are only two ways to survive: graduation or expulsion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if we want to leave the Fudi, we must attend the graduation ceremony—only by destroying it can we possibly return to the real world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet perhaps we don’t need everyone present to destroy the graduation ceremony!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian scanned the faces of the new arrivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps we can get some people expelled, have them leave the training center, and wait outside for the Fudi’s final outcome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1131,"2026-06-20T14:31:07.793Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a33974841bf5e7f7cc47577763e5db57c653d7376965f79086b01ce055e5aa2e","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-554","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-552",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
