Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress - Chapter 66: The 4th Evolution Begins!
Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The 4th Evolution Begins!
“Making us travel thousands of kilometers for nothing. Seriously!” The more Wang Li thought about it, the angrier she got. She was practically fuming. “Sigh, you know, there’s some truth to that saying about harsh places breeding difficult people…”
Hearing this, the male teacher beside her, Liu Feng, frowned almost imperceptibly.
He gently tried to reason with her. “Teacher Wang, there’s no need to be so upset. The educational resources and faculty in small cities are just too poor.”
“The kids here have a limited worldview and mindset. It’s understandable that their thinking is immature, so you don’t have to be so harsh, do you?”
He had also climbed his way up from a small city, so he knew full well how difficult it was. He was quite put off by such discriminatory remarks.
“How is that harsh? I’m just telling it like it is,” Wang Li retorted dismissively, curling her lip.
“…” Liu Feng was speechless.
’This woman’s superiority complex is off the charts…’
He didn’t want to argue about it anymore, so he changed the subject as they walked. “By the way, I heard that the provincial director of education and some other leaders from the Provincial Government came to Jiang City today. I wonder what for.”
The matter concerning Gu Yuexi was kept under strict secrecy, so ordinary teachers like them would certainly not know about it.
Wang Li was taken aback. She had heard about it too but hadn’t paid it much mind. “Probably some kind of visit to check on the grassroots? Today’s the province-wide third-year combat assessment. It’s long over by now, so those big shots have probably left already.”
As she said this, a look of regret appeared on her face.
“Sigh, if I’d known, I would’ve left earlier. We missed them.”
It wasn’t Director Zhang and the other administrative leaders she was sad about missing.
Rather, it was because she’d heard that Vice President Wang of the provincial Spiritual Mind Master Association had also come!
He was a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Mind Master! One of the Top Notch powerhouses in Du Nan City!
Wang Li herself was a Third-Grade Middle Stage Spiritual Mind Master, and that Chairman Wang had always been one of the idols she worshipped. Unfortunately, the gap in their statuses was simply too vast for her to have ever met him in person.
The combat prowess of a Spiritual Mind Master was bizarre and unpredictable. At the same Grade, an ordinary Martial Artist was no match for them at all. A Seventh-Grade Powerhouse like Chairman Wang could probably even take on a Ninth-Grade Martial Artist!
For such an important figure to personally travel to a remote, backward place like Jiang City just to check on the grassroots…
A wave of sympathy and admiration for her idol suddenly washed over Wang Li.
’How noble of him!’
’To go through all that trouble and personally make such a long trip just to encourage the students in these backward regions… He’s a true role model!’
Liu Feng looked at her complex expression—a mixture of sympathy, admiration, and even a hint of pity—and was left utterly speechless.
He really couldn’t comprehend his colleague’s train of thought.
He sighed. He didn’t want to continue the conversation and just wanted to complete their task and get out of this place.
“Enough talk. Let’s hurry to Jiang City Lingwu High School. Gu Yuexi should be back at the school by now.”
“Fine. I’d like to see for myself just what level this student is at!”
…
「Jiang City Lord’s Mansion.」
Inside a luxurious suite, one typically reserved only for high-ranking provincial officials.
Gu Yuexi sat quietly on the sofa, calmly flipping through the Earth-tier Secret Technique, *Thousand Soul Stab*, which Chairman Wang had given her.
Beside her, a dense mass of blood-red light completely enveloped Chu Sheng, forming a small, throbbing cocoon of light.
Around the cocoon, the Elixirs and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures gifted by the leaders—which Gu Yuexi had casually piled up—were dimming and withering at a visible rate.
A torrent of Energy was being frantically absorbed into the cocoon.
’Yup. That’s right.’
’It’s evolving again…’
’It actually broke all common sense in the history of Beast Taming and is evolving for the fourth time…’
Gu Yuexi marveled internally, but her face remained expressionless.
Logically, she should have been utterly shocked and excited. After all, this meant her Contracted Beast could most likely achieve infinite evolutions, with an unimaginably high upper limit.
’But… why do I feel so calm?’
’Has this guy already shocked me into numbness?’
Gu Yuexi sighed softly and went back to flipping through the Secret Technique.
Just a short while ago, everyone at the assessment site—students and leaders alike, even Leng Yan, who had already left—was forcibly brought back to sign a top-level confidentiality agreement from the Federation.
The content of the agreement was simple.
Everything they had seen and heard at the site today had to be taken to the grave. Not a single word could be revealed!
The level of secrecy this time was more than just one tier higher than three days ago.
Three days ago, it was merely the appearance of a mosquito with heaven-defying Spiritual Wisdom. While it held extremely high research value, it was far from warranting the highest level of secrecy.
But now, the situation was completely different.
A genius who was guaranteed to reach the King-level in the future, and even had a chance of breaking through to the Emperor Level, possessed a strategic value no less than that of a nuclear weapon before the Spiritual Energy Awakening!
This was not only a national treasure but also a thorn in the side of all hostile powers.
If Gu Yuexi’s situation were to be leaked, it would undoubtedly attract endless assassinations and trouble.
One had to understand that Great Xia was not the only country in this world, nor was it the strongest.
Therefore, until she had fully matured, no information about her could be made public.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
Just then, a soft knock came from the suite’s door.
After Gu Yuexi said, “Come in,” in a soft voice.
Zhang Chengye pushed the door open and walked in, his expression far more serious than it had been back in the plaza.
Following behind him was Chairman Wang. This Seventh-Grade Spiritual Mind Master, one of the top powerhouses from the provincial capital, actually seemed somewhat reserved at the moment.
The moment the two entered, their eyes were instantly drawn to the throbbing, blood-red cocoon by the sofa. Looks of shock and astonishment appeared on their faces simultaneously.
“Th-this is…?!”
Chairman Wang cried out in shock. He could clearly perceive the powerful life fluctuations coming from within the cocoon. “It’s… evolving?!”
Gu Yuexi nodded calmly. “Yes.”
Chairman Wang was dumbfounded. “This… This…”
’What the hell is this thing?!’
’Didn’t it just evolve once in the Secret Realm?’
’Why is it evolving again?!’
Gu Yuexi knew they had misunderstood and casually explained, “It didn’t evolve in the Secret Realm. Its Bloodline Level just inexplicably increased a little. I don’t know why, either.”
Zhang Chengye: “…”
Chairman Wang: “…”
’What an “inexplicably”!’
’Its Bloodline Level can increase without evolving? That’s completely unheard of!’
Zhang Chengye swallowed hard and couldn’t help but ask, “Gu, this mosquito of yours… which evolution is this? The third?”
Gu Yuexi shook her head. “No.”
Zhang Chengye froze. “That can’t be right! Is this its second evolution? It only evolved once before? And it was already that strong?”
Gu Yuexi said, “…This is its fourth evolution.”
Zhang Chengye: “???”
Chairman Wang: “???”
Gu Yuexi added in a wooden tone, “And it’s been less than half a month.”
The two of them: “…”
They were numb. Completely and utterly numb.
’What in the world is this thing?’
’Not only can it break the ironclad rule that Demon Beasts can only evolve three times, but it has evolved four times in less than half a month!’
They had thought the mosquito’s potential was already world-shaking, but now it seemed they had still grossly underestimated it! Its potential wasn’t just immense; it was simply unimaginable!
