Capítulo 2

Pei Linhai is one thing, but the Lou family is supposed to be a family with a history in the supernatural... well, but now Lou's parents are neglecting their duties and only doing what they like—divination and special abilities, and then making a big splash on paranormal shows... They don't need these abilities... they've probably forgotten about them long ago...

Hai Shenlan remained silent, and the main meridians and acupoints of her spiritual energy once again crackled with electricity. However, this time it was slightly different from the last time. The last time the electricity was faintly red, while this time it was faintly black.

Her aura changed again, and it was a very unpleasant feeling, a feeling that no spiritualist would want to experience.

"...Demonic energy!"

Spiritual energy, an energy unique to humans.

Demonic energy, an energy possessed only by demons.

Demonic energy, an energy possessed only by demons.

The definition of "human" should be self-explanatory; "monster" has been defined for many years as "something (animal, plant, or inanimate object) that has cultivated itself to be close to God". Monsters are the closest to God in the Three Realms; but demons... are born demons, born in the deepest part of the legendary hell, without compassion or human heart, forever going against the will of God, and terror, bloodshed, and death are always with them.

Not only did Lou Lifan's classmates instinctively retreat when they sensed the demonic energy, but students from classes that were hundreds of thousands of miles away in the training ground also prepared to run away.

The demonic energy surrounding Hai Shenlan didn't last long, quickly transforming back into spiritual energy. The students, who had hastily retreated, slowly returned to their previous positions.

"So, this is the focus of our lesson today—qualitative transformation." Hai Shenlan waved her hand, and the swirling snowflakes behind her suddenly stopped, forming the four characters "qualitative transformation" in the air. "Qualitative transformation means changing the nature of your spiritual energy to something completely different from before. We've spent 20 class hours specifically discussing the spiritual energy meridians before. As you all know, there are a total of 877 acupoints on the main spiritual energy meridians. Our spiritual energy originates from seven parts: the head, hands, feet, and eyes, passes through these 877 acupoints, and finally enters the dantian. If we follow the usual direction of our spiritual energy, what you feel is 'spiritual energy.' But if we change the path, it can become something else entirely."

The four words “qualitative transformation” shattered with a soft snap, then recombine into another four words – “crooked ways”.

"Since we're not taking the normal path, we can call it a crooked path. Now, please follow the direction of the spiritual energy I'm about to describe and slowly guide it. If you can't succeed or can't pinpoint the acupoints, tell me immediately, because qualitative transformation is prone to problems. If it transforms you into something else... then I can't help you." Suddenly, white lines appeared on her body. These lines seemed to grow from within her, piercing through her skin and reaching the outside. By the time the students noticed, these almost invisible "lines" had already clung to their bodies, like a spider web that was difficult to shake off. "These are my sensory lines. If you go astray and encounter danger, I will warn you. Are you all ready? Okay, Origin of the Primordial Beginning -- Enter the Bo Pool -- Wind Wings -- Swallow Valley --..."

Reply [6]: Suddenly, a student's body burst into gray flames. The guy screamed and started running around wildly. Some of the other students were almost taken to the wrong path because of his disturbance. Hai Shenlan chased after him and stomped him into the snow. Veins popped out on his head, but he still smiled and stepped on his head with his stiletto heels: "Are you an idiot! Can't you save yourself from such a small thing! What did I just say? If you can't determine the location of the acupoints, tell me right away! What do you mean by hesitating for so long and still choosing the wrong path! Do you want to become an immortal!"

"I'm...I'm sorry..." The flames on his body went out immediately when he was trampled into the snow. Once Hai Shenlan finally moved his foot away, the boy got up with a long face, clutching the spot where the fire had started and groaning softly. His clothes weren't torn, but he seemed to be burned. Because the fire that had started on him wasn't ordinary fire, but hellfire, which only burns those who have committed sins.

Hai Shenlan angrily turned back to her previous seat and said fiercely, "I've seen far too many of these things in my more than 100 years of teaching at this school! Every year there are a few self-righteous idiots who don't ask questions even when they don't understand! This is still the best-case scenario, just the lowest level of hellfire. What if you accidentally turn yourself into Samadhi True Fire? Then you can just die! There's nothing I can do about it!"

No wonder no one in ordinary colleges and universities mentions qualitative transformation... Even many people born into families with supernatural backgrounds have hardly heard of it... Lou Lifan felt that he understood a little. This ability was too dangerous—not for others, but for himself—to master it, one must not only know all 877 acupoints by heart, but also be able to follow the correct path without the slightest error, otherwise it is very likely to lead to death.

However… “this school has been teaching for over a hundred years”…

...Isn't she only 30 years old...?

After venting her anger, Hai Shenlan continued to teach her students the direction of spiritual power. This time, no one dared to act rashly. They all honestly asked questions when they had them. Although some people still went astray for various reasons, they all returned to their original positions under Hai Shenlan's timely and stern guidance, and no more major problems arose.

"So, this is the direction. Once you've walked this path once, your spiritual energy will remember it. Now, everyone, channel your highest spiritual energy into your heads and quickly follow the guidance I just gave you—"

As soon as Hai Shenlan finished speaking, the same crackling electric currents that had struck Lou Lifan and Pei Linhai earlier appeared on their bodies. They immediately found themselves incredibly light, as if weightless as feathers. A gust of wind blew, and Pei Linhai cried out in surprise, his large frame swept dozens of meters away, tumbling several times. Lou Lifan had also nearly lost control and was blown away, but he had the advantage of wearing heavy clothing that day, which prevented the wind from lifting him. However, he wasn't much better off; he too was blown onto the ground and rolled a few times.

Logically speaking, this situation should have been hilarious, especially in a place frequented by young people; it would have been impossible not to laugh hysterically. But no one laughed, not a single person.

Because at that time, only the two of them underwent a qualitative transformation, while everyone else watched them silently and in disbelief.

Hai Shenlan's astonishment was completely evident on her face. She was certain that those two were using Qualitative Transformation for the first time. Based on her experience, this ability could only be fully utilized after repeatedly opening the channel. In other words, a novice needed to let their aura travel along that path multiple times for it to take effect. This wasn't an ordinary change, not a low-level transformation like turning one's ability into hellfire, but a transformation into demonic power! It was a fundamental change! Even the most outstanding students in the past needed more than twenty days of training to achieve this.

And they even encountered "that kind of situation"...

Pei Linhai struggled to "float" back from the snow—yes, he really did float. His feet only touched the snow, but he didn't step into it; he was just floating on the soft, fresh snow.

Lou Lifan's heavy clothes made him look disheveled, and his ball-like body could only be barely lifted up by crawling on all fours. But just as he got up, another gust of wind blew him back to the ground, causing him to roll several times. Frustrated, he tore off his clothes one by one, leaving him standing in the cold wind wearing only a thin sweater.

When he noticed the blank stares of the others, Lou Lifan belatedly realized that he wasn't feeling cold despite wearing so little. He knew the wind was blowing and the snow was falling; the snow felt cool against his skin, and his breath was warm, but he felt no cold. No painful feeling of cold.

“…You two…” Hai Shenlan pointed at Lou Lifan and Pei Linhai, who was walking with difficulty, “You two can leave get out of class now. You don’t need to attend the next class.”

"Ah?" Pei Linhai was momentarily distracted, then a gust of wind blew him back to where he had been. His voice drifted back from afar, sounding pitiful, "But how do we solve this situation?!"

This time, Lou Lifan was more experienced. He transferred all his strength to his feet, gripping the ground so he wouldn't be blown away. His face pale, he asked Hai Shenlan, "Teacher... please tell us how to solve this problem?"

"Just follow the normal flow of spiritual energy again, you can go now!" Hai Shenlan seemed anxious to see them and waved them away, but stopped Lou Lifan just as he was turning to save Pei Linhai. "By the way, at eight o'clock tonight, you and Pei Linhai need to go to the principal's office. I have something important to tell you."

Important...thing...? What is it? What has to be said in that weirdo's office?

"Full of doubt" is not enough to describe how confused Lou Lifan was about this order. He really wanted to figure things out here and tell her that he would rather freeze in the snow for another day than go to that pervert's place. However, he suddenly remembered how this always smiling teacher had once laughed and lost her temper because a student answered a question wrong, and everyone in the classroom was swept away by a tornado to the distant back mountain... He immediately lost the courage to speak.

He caught up with Pei Linhai, who was being blown around by the wind, and helped him up. He grabbed Pei Linhai with one hand and dragged his own heavy clothes that he had just taken off with the other. In a moment of carelessness, Pei Linhai almost drifted away with the wind. Lou Lifan held on to his hand tightly, but his feet couldn't support the buoyancy of the two of them, and he was dragged away by the wind.

After they had walked away, Hai Shenlan gave a strange smile and beckoned the other students to gather around. The students, puzzled, lined up in two rows within two meters of her, as she instructed.

"Classmates, I have something important to say now. Please look at me and don't blink..."

A flash of blue light suddenly appeared, leaving the students stunned.

Reply [7]: Hai Shenlan took out an intranet and pressed the number.

"Hey, I've found someone... Hmm, their memories have been erased. What about the other classes?... Hmm, good, then I'm relieved."

She turned off the communicator and looked regretfully at the students who were still dumbfounded. She sighed, "There's nothing I can do... Your aptitudes are far inferior in comparison. But don't worry, once this is over, their memories of 'qualitative transformation' will be erased."

That's right. Such advanced elite abilities are only accessible to a select few, so not everyone knows about them. However, Lou Lifan's guess was also correct; his parents were indeed allowed to possess this ability, but since they didn't need it, they didn't think of teaching it to their son.

Fortunately, the wind was blowing in the direction of the dormitory, so Pei Linhai and Lou Lifan were easily blown back to the dormitory.

Spiritual power has a memory; it won't forget the routes it has traveled. Once it has traveled a route once, it can be retraced without guidance.

Moreover, they were so familiar with the direction of their spiritual energy that they didn't even notice it, so it didn't take them long to find the original path of their spiritual energy and return to the track that had always been running.

The feeling of suddenly transforming from a "demon" into a "human" was strange, like the feeling of just getting out of the water after swimming in a pool. His body suddenly became very heavy, and Lou Lifan almost knelt down because he wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, Pei Linhai fell down before him, and he pressed Pei Linhai's head down and stood up again.

Poor Pei Linhai, he collapsed again before he could get up, and couldn't get up for a long, long time.

Chapter Two: Infiltrating the Monster Training School

Lou Lifan and Pei Linhai arrived at the principal's office at exactly eight o'clock. This was, of course, a result of deliberate calculation, because they neither wanted to spend another second with that pervert nor wanted to be punished by him under some pretext for being late.

The two knocked and entered. This time, the principal's office was no longer the dark and strange space they had entered when they registered, but a so-called "principal's office" that was no different from that of a regular school.

The office was a beautiful and spacious room with desks large enough to accommodate seven or eight people working together. The walls were covered with unknown green plants, and the floor, except for places to sit, walk, and put things, was completely filled with strange plants. The whole office looked like a tropical jungle.

Pei Linhai couldn't help but worry that such a damp place might breed mosquitoes...

Upon entering the office, the two were so hot that they took off their coats and draped them over their wrists before bowing to the people in the office and saying, "Professor Hai Shenlan, we've arrived!"

It "seemed" that Hai Shenlan was the only person in the office, as she was the only one sitting at her desk. However, the moment Lou Lifan and Lin Hai spoke, the suspicious, black object that they had completely ignored, which had been piled on the desk, suddenly raised its head and said in a sinister, mournful voice, "You've finally arrived..."

"A ghost!" The voice sounded like a vengeful spirit, the kind that had accumulated resentment for thousands of years. Pei Linhai screamed in fright, took three steps back, and hugged Lou Lifan, trembling all over.

Lou Lifan kicked him: "Look carefully! That's that... cough, our principal!"

Pei Linhai knew as soon as he looked up, but he still couldn't help feeling scared. There was nothing he could do; after all, Pei Linhai's voice was so terrifying...

The perverted principal didn't seem to have the energy to argue with them. He just said weakly in a very pitiful voice, "Everything will be handled by Teacher Hai Shenlan... I don't care anymore..." Then he slumped on the table again, seemingly wallowing in self-pity.

Hai Shenlan grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it on the guy's head with a loud bang. Lou Lifan wondered if the freak would survive such a blow.

"You irresponsible and useless idiot! What do we need you for!" Hai Shenlan cursed at him through gritted teeth.

The pervert seemed to be dead, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Hai Shenlan gestured for them to sit down. The two walked to the desk, pulled out two chairs, draped their coats over the backs of the chairs, and sat down.

"I've called you here today because I have something important for you to do." Hai Shenlan's expression was serious, and his eyes were sharp. "But this matter must be kept strictly confidential. I hope you will keep your mouths shut from now on, because this is a matter of life and death for our Byte Academy! Do you understand?"

The two knew that since they had been summoned, it must be something important, but they hadn't expected it to be so serious, a matter of "life and death for Byte Academy"! However, looking at that freak's current appearance, they could probably guess the gist of it, because they had never seen him so dejected before, unless something really serious had happened, he would never be like this.

The two of them unconsciously sat up straight, listening intently to what this dangerous mission was all about.

"Actually..." She seemed about to say something important, but found it difficult to speak. Hai Shenlan shifted slightly, adjusting to a more comfortable position. "Um, actually..." She repeated "actually" seven or eight times, but still couldn't bring herself to say what it was. Finally, she became somewhat embarrassed and angry, grabbing the pen holder, inkstone, and paperweight from the table and throwing them at the pervert lying there: "You bastard! How can I say something like this! If you're so capable, tell them yourself! You're a useless idiot who only stirs up trouble and attracts unwanted attention!"

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [8]: Provoking trouble...?

Attracting bees and butterflies...?

Lou Lifan and Pei Linhai suddenly realized that the mission they were sent on this time was definitely not a good thing. Just the fact that it "made that pervert so distressed" was terrifying.

The pervert remained as if dead, showing no reaction whatsoever. Hai Shenlan threw everything she could on the table, but it was like throwing it into a dried-up ditch, leaving no splash. In a fit of rage, she stood up, grabbed the chair she was sitting on, and threw it at his head. Lou Lifan and Pei Linhai were horrified and hurriedly stopped her, lest she kill him before things were cleared up.

After finally calming down a bit, Hai Shenlan glared at the guy and sat down.

"Actually, it's like this..." The matter is very simple, but it's a little difficult to talk about.

A while ago, the World Paranormal Association held a conference on education in the three realms, which was attended by the heads of all higher paranormal, supernatural, and magical academies. These schools are not only run by humans, but also by monsters and demons, so it is not surprising that there are heads of monster and demon schools at this conference.

The problem was that, to prevent Byte's chief pervert from causing trouble, the perverted principal hadn't been allowed to attend for over a hundred years; always, one of the two vice-principals would go instead. However, this year, Vice-Principal Yukikaze was absent from school for some reason, and Paulina, not wanting to leave that pervert unsupervised and allow him to corrupt the students, adopted a "better you than me" mentality, staying behind herself and sending the excited Mr. Byte, who was practically dancing and singing, to the venue instead.

As it turns out, Yukikaze and Paulina's idea of over a hundred years was correct; sending Byte to that kind of meeting was a disaster.

On his very first day, finding the meeting too boring, he secretly sneaked outside and set off fireworks, nearly burning all the high-ranking attendees to ashes. The next day, after being rejected by the beautiful principal of the Berenhill Girls' School, he climbed to the top of a 500-plus-story building, claiming he would gather all his spiritual energy and fly using the principle of gravity, causing chaos among the attendees. The third day, the fourth day… if he had only been this disruptive, it wouldn't have been so bad, but he still felt it wasn't exciting enough. He openly organized a large-scale gambling event—having everyone guess the length of a matchstick in his hand, with the loser having to leave behind their "most important possession." No one knows how he convinced the others, but the participation was enthusiastic, and 99% of them lost.

"Ninety-nine percent?" Lou Lifan asked, "Then what about the remaining one percent...?"

The 99% who win don't matter, because what's important to others is meaningless to them. The real question is, how did the loser lose? What did they lose?

Answer: He had actually been cheating all along, but his superior skills kept him from being discovered. Unfortunately, he encountered the chairman of Zero Degree Demon Academy—the wolf demon Beren—in the final match. Beren discovered Byte's cheating but remained silent and didn't expose him. Only at the very end did he ask Byte what was most important to him, to which Byte laughed wildly and said it was himself, but he was absolutely determined not to lose.

result……

As a result, Belen easily saw through his scheme and then forced him to sign a document in front of everyone, allowing Belen to sell him...

“…Sell it…?” Pei Linhai could only feel his eyes twitching and twitching…

“If it were just him being sold off alone, that would be one thing,” Hai Shenlan sighed. “We wouldn’t have said a word. Let him die if he wants to! But this bastard added a condition: he’s being sold as part of a package deal with Byte Academy, never separately! Bastard!” Seeing that there was nothing else to throw, she grabbed the ashtray she had just tossed out and slammed it into the pervert’s head. “If you want to die, then die! Why drag Byte Academy into it?! Do you think we’re living too comfortably?!”

Byte sobbed in the black cloth, and after a while he began to wail: "I had no choice! If you just sold me, you would never have thought of a way to save me! Waaah...waaah--------"... He was still quite self-aware.

Lou Lifan didn't bother with the self-inflicted grievances and asked, "So, what does Teacher Hai Shenlan mean...?"

“What I mean is,” Hai Shenlan paused, then emphasized, “I hope you can infiltrate Zero Degree Demon Academy and find an opportunity to steal the indenture he signed.”

Lou Lifan, Pei Linhai, and Lin Hai exchanged a glance.

"Wait...wait a minute..."

"Don't worry, there will be a reward when you come back."

"that……"
