“There’s… there’s nothing there.”

Su Lu smiles and asks, “What exactly happened to you guys?”

“There was….there was a person just now… who popped out of that oil painting!”

Stammered Mi Jiaying.

“It’s not a big deal… This is the Mysterious Academy! Mystery is the foundation here…” Su Lu explained, “And… my students, please take a look at the wall clock!”

“Ah! It’s past 11 o’clock? How is that possible?”

Bai Ling and Mi Jiaying looked surprised, “We were sure just now…”

“Perhaps you two were so immersed in the beauty of the campus that you forgot about the time, but I still have to remind you…Walking around the campus at non-designated hours is a very risky behavior. If caught once, you could lose credits.”

Su Lu continued, “However, since you two don’t really have any credits to lose at the moment, I’ll let it rest this time. Shouldn’t you head back to your dorms now?”

“Yes, we should.”

Bai Ling quickly pulled Mi Jiaying along and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Left all alone, Su Lu stared at the oil painting, a somewhat serious expression on his face, “The erosion of the Spirit World….has it really reached this level?”

He had been busy with a particular task lately.

He had been secretly arranging the Array, rituals, runes, etc. of the Spirit Communication Array all around the campus.

In plain terms, the Spirit Communication Array is a kind of auxiliary ritual that can amplify the power of Spirit Communication Skill.

But to communicated with Spirits, this “spirit” stands for the Spirit World!

Too much interaction between a region and the Spirit World eventually leads to no good as it will form a weak point in the Spirit World, attracting erosion from the Spirit World’s energy.

The early stages of this are represented by some of the famous ‘ghost houses’ in the Main World.

And the best example of the later stages is Nia City, which was wholly pulled into the Dream Spirit World!

As the power of the Spirit World peaks at night, Su Lu had to impose a ban on night outings.

“Aside from this…I seem to need to make more preparations.”

Su Lu sighed, and his figure disappeared.

…

Bai Ling’s university life began slowly with the shock of the first day.

And with her enrollment at the Mysterious Academy, more and more questions began to emerge in her heart.

For example…why do teachers with terrible strength seem to rigidly stick to the book, teaching relatively retrogressive and basic knowledge of the mysteries?

This kind of stuff is already floating around on the web!

Particularly according to Teacher Li, these teaching materials were personally selected by the principal, and there were numerous explicit instructions to teach according to the syllabus, making her extremely confused.

In Bai Ling’s mind, Bai Jing is not such a stickler for the rule, otherwise how could the world’s first Mysterious Academy exist?

Moreover, would it benefit him as the principal for the East City Mystery College to decline?

“Uncle is indeed a very mysterious person!”

More and more curiosity about Su Lu was born in the girl’s mind.

“Bai Ling…this school…”

At noon, Mi Jiaying sat across from Bai Ling with worry on her face, “So scary…although campus ghost stories are normal in universities, but the ones in this school are a bit too much…just the ones I heard, there are Headless Nobles, Fairy of the Lake, Cannibal Corridor, Thumb-sized Dwarfs, Toilet Revenants… So many!”

“Indeed, a bit too much.”

Bai Ling and other teenagers were passionately obsessed with Martial Way University, having searched for a lot of gossips, but even Han Fan’s Mountain and Sea University definitely didn’t have this many supernatural rumors!

“I’ve even…heard about…missing students.”

Mi Jiaying looked around, lowering her voice.

“Students…missing?”

Bai Ling’s pupils shrank, “And then?”

“They couldn’t be found in the end and were declared dead…the school compensated their families. The family members wanted to stir up trouble, but couldn’t…they didn’t even know where the gates to the Secret Realm opened.”

Mi Jiaying took a deep breath to steady herself, her tone quite downcast, “Do you think…we might…have chosen the wrong school?”

“Looking at how you put it, as if you could definitely get into another school.”

Bai Ling rolled her eyes but was even more concerned about Bai Jing in her heart.

…

The afternoon class was Astrology.

This class was actually taught by Su Lu himself.

“There are great mysteries and various symbols hidden in the stars. Since ancient times, institutions like the Imperial Astronomical Bureau have been in charge of observing the stars for predicting auspiciousness and so on… The West has even studied astrology, predicting a person’s fate through constellation…”

Su Lu stood on the podium discussing passionately, “In the new century, astrology has become closely linked with mysticism…Even some spiritual tide phenomena might be related to the stars, such as…the previous five Spirit Tide invasions.”

“Teacher!”

A student raised his hand, “Wasn’t the Spirit Tide invasion brought on by the Ancient God?”

“In my view, the Ancient God is just a seed. What really affects the world is the ubiquitous and great Spirituality…”

Su Lu solemnly responded, “Every time the Spirit Tide invades, it always manifests in the stars…Ordinary people might not be able to observe it, but if you are a practitioner who studies astrology, you might be able to sense more…Each invasion of the Spirit Tide is a time when all stars shine!”

“A time when all stars shine?”

Bai Ling murmured, lost in thought.

…

At the headquarters of Web of the World.

“According to the feedback from the observatory, they observed some special light from the planets…”

Huang Minghao threw a report on the desk, “The next Stars Shine event is coming.”

He was lucky. In the previous campaign against the King of Fish People, he was taken into the blessed land by Han Fan with the Demonic Wars3hip early on, managing to save his life along with some lower-level professional workers.

“The sixth Spirit Tide?”

Zi’s face hardened, “We must immediately inform all countries to make preparations to deal with the imminent shock.”

Every time the Spirit Tide invaded, it posed a huge challenge to the world.

Especially the fourth and fifth times, it resulted in individuals transcending to become saints. The legendary powerful beings who could face an army single-handedly began to appear.

“This is a matter of course, but besides that, there’s another person we can’t ignore— Bai Jing!”

Huang Minghao said solemnly, “Almost every time the Spirit Tide arrived, he gained massive benefits, causing his strength to soar tremendously… This time, we can’t let him succeed again.”

“What’s the plan then?”

Zi didn’t refute, but asked calmly.

“I’ve already prepared it, everything hinges on the ‘Dimensional Lock Array’!” Huang Minghao was excited, “This can be set up by our members who previously entered the Secret Realm and the top secret ‘Deer’.”

“How are you going to solve the issue of physical connection? Regular students might find it hard to connect to the outside world…” Zi asked, puzzled.

“Our intelligence personnel are different, they’ve already established a connection.”

Huang Minghao said confidently.

“Then… let’s settle on this.”

Zi was silent for a long time before signing her name at the end.

After everyone else left, she quietly took out a photo frame and stared at Wang Chaoqun’s picture in a daze.
