Chapter 126

Ignoring Yu Xiaomo's angry shout, Zhang Jie hurried to the nutrition cabin and lay down, his consciousness entering Dream Online once again.

He had originally wanted to rest, but just then his Nightmare sent him a message—they had found something different!

The Nightmares he dispatched each had different exploration missions—for instance, the Thunder Eagle is the only one that can fly, the Giant Wolf is the fastest runner, and those two are responsible for exploring the outside world map.

And the Nightmare with the highest intelligence and combat power, Dark Blade, is responsible for exploring inside the academy; there are many secrets hidden there, and for the Nightmare with the highest intelligence, Dark Blade is the perfect fit.

This time, Dark Blade was again the first to discover something and sent a signal to Zhang Jie.

Can only say, Dark Blade does not disappoint.

His consciousness immersed, and the next moment he opened his eyes to find himself in a wizard academy brimming with fantastical colors.

At that moment he was in the dormitory, Liu Delie not beside him—probably practicing magic elsewhere—so Zhang Jie set out at once, heading for the training ground Liu Delie frequented.

At that moment, the system before him suddenly jolted, shaking and spamming information prompts—it was Yu Xiaomo, that little brat, sending messages to harass him.

Xiao Mo: Zhang Jie!

Xiao Mo: After you're done playing, I'm going to run off and have a honeymoon with Liu Delie, right!!!

Xiao Mo: You're still a person!!!

(Emoticon barrage)

Zhang Jie was full of question marks—what is this little brat thinking all day! What does it mean him and Liu Delie going on a honeymoon???

Call me Jie Ge: What are you thinking all day in your head?

Call me Jie Ge: After you finish playing and go on a honeymoon, don't make what I say like a scumbag who pulls out and runs, okay?

Xiao Mo: (hands on hips angry. jpg)

Xiao Mo: I don't care! Scumbag! Bad egg!

Call me Jie Ge: (raised middle finger)

While chatting with that little brat, Zhang Jie had already arrived at the magic training ground where Liu Delie often stayed.

At that moment Liu Delie was sparring with another senior student; the two stood on a long, wide wooden plank, facing each other, with only half a body's width of dodging space around them; they were comparing not only magic strength but also reaction speed.

If struck, they would fall embarrassingly off the plank—damage low, but humiliation extreme.

Liu Delie and that senior student eyed each other warily, staffs gripped tightly, ready to strike.

The next moment, both moved at once.

Senior student: Expel....

Liu Delie: Get down!

Before the senior student could finish his chant, Liu Delie unleashed a magic blast; the other hastily closed his mouth and dodged aside.

"Wow…!"

The surrounding spectators burst into gasps; Liu Delie wore an extremely smug expression, throwing a provocative glance, looking like a love‑struck fool.

Zhang Jie watched, his eyelids twitching nonstop.

Bro, where did you get this northern‑style magic? It sounds so weird!

"You!"

"Utterly confused!"

Without waiting for the opponent to react, Liu Delie waved his wand; an invisible energy swept across, launching the opponent into the air, spinning him a few times before slamming him hard to the ground, instantly robbing him of any ability to resist.

Cheers and applause rose; Liu Delie lifted his arms, strode down the stage with an invincible air, and immediately two girls ran from the crowd, one on each side, hugging his arms.

One had golden hair and blue eyes, the other white hair and red pupils; as soon as these two pretty girls appeared, they instantly drew more attention, envious, jealous, hateful glances aimed at Liu Delie.

That guy laughed arrogantly, his expression somewhat oblivious, making Zhang Jie want to cover his face.

It's not like he's proud of anything! These two girls are the two most popular paper characters in this game community—many players snap pictures of their daily lives to rack up views, there are plenty of fan works, and even plenty of players ignore the game altogether, coming just to pursue these two paper characters.

Facing the doubtful gazes of the two girls, Zhang Jie quickly walked over to that brute, yanking him out of the tender trap, yet the guy still wore a blissed-out expression.

"Hey! Hey! Jie-bro, what are you doing?!"

Liu Delie looked like he still wanted more, but he didn't resist Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie was speechless, stopped pulling him, and then directly showed him the content inside the community.

Liu Delie wore a puzzled expression, stared for a while, and his whole body instantly turned to stone...

To be honest, no girl has ever treated him like this from childhood to adulthood; he hardly ever gets such an opportunity, and it's all with paper characters in the Virtual World...

Liu Delie's Dao heart was shattered, but Zhang Jie didn't care about that and directly explained his intention.

"I discovered an altar in some space at school; if we go there now, we might find a way to obtain an A-rank achievement."

Liu Delie blinked, thought it over, then nodded.

He knew Zhang Jie wanted a speedrun; although he hadn't yet had enough of life in the magic academy, getting the clearance badge early was also a good option.

Most importantly, he could finally use the strange magic he'd learned for his first real combat!

"Alright, follow me, and prioritize your own safety."

"OK!"

Inside a certain secret space of the magic academy, a huge altar appeared here; atop the magic array that puffed out black smoke stood a bald, short figure in a magic robe, like a conductor, constantly manipulating the magic array before him.

"Drag it up!"

The servants beside him threw one beast carcass after another into the magic array; with a hiss, the corpses instantly turned into blood water and merged into the array.

What he didn't know was that, in the shadows not far away, a hidden assassin with a concealed body was silently watching this scene; no one realized there was also an uninvited guest here.

"Lord!"

"Answer me!"

The magic array puffing out black smoke slowly turned, black gas condensed in the center, and a figure shrouded in black mist rose slowly from below...

Seeing this, the assassin's eyes widened wildly—what the other side had summoned was actually a wholly twisted Nightmare!!!
