Chapter 6, Calling

His words deepened the unusual expression on Conley's face, and he continued to ask: "What do you feel now?"

This is truly a large figure; as soon as he enters, a massive shadow seems to envelop the room, dimming the light significantly. The man is tall, with numerous scars crisscrossing his face, giving him an especially fierce appearance. His muscles bulge, resembling blocks of iron. Although Shu Yu is not short, standing in front of this man makes one feel a stark difference in species

Chi Chuanle stared blankly at her, and Shu Yu asked, "What are you showcasing?"

Chi Chuanle widened his eyes in surprise as he looked at Kang Lai, who nodded back at him and said, "Let’s look forward to tomorrow’s test"

Chi Chuanle elaborated: "At that time, the three of us were in the dormitory. Today was the routine test, and none of us passed, which put us in a bad mood. I was sitting by the desk, lost in thought, when suddenly I felt a surge of heat in my body, as if a current was rushing up from below, and in an instant, I felt as if I had exploded."

What he said are all natural responses of the body when the mutation phenomenon first appears, the two security guards showed no reaction, while Shu Yu revealed a hint of envy at just the right moment

Chi Chuanle smiled. Shu Yu not only excelled academically, but also performed exceptionally well in sports and martial arts classes, making the small second floor a trivial matter. Chi Chuanle turned his head, and without any apparent effort, a flurry of delicate white ice flowers began to coalesce and assemble beneath his feet, instantly transforming into a hexagonal thin sheet that lifted him directly down to the ground. As his toes touched the grass, Shu Yu also landed steadily beside him, standing upright and gazing at the trembling Zero dormitory.

This person is the head of the school's security team, Kang Lai. No one knows his true capabilities; they only know that the principal trusts him exceptionally. He has never let this trust down. Captain Kang Lai surveyed the surroundings, and when his gaze swept over Shu Yu, he felt as if he had been grazed by a cold blade, sending a chill of pain through him.

However, Vagli did not pay attention to him, but instead stared at Chi Chuanle, hesitatingly saying: "You... have evolved, level 7? Or even higher?"

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you think?"

Even at that moment, she maintained her impeccable demeanor, giving a slight bow to the two individuals before directly entering through the main door of the Zero Dormitory. Shu Yu clearly saw a piece of flooring about to crash down, seemingly poised to hit her. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in, forming a wall of wind right in front of her, perfectly blocking the falling flooring. Following that, countless blades of wind intersected and sliced through the flooring, reducing it to fragments. Then, the wall of wind in front of her began to gently rotate, forming a whirlwind that was not overly fierce, wrapping the shattered flooring and placing it on the ground.

The security team did not continue to ask further questions. The commotion outside had lessened somewhat, but it was still quite noisy. Kang Lai said stiffly, "Please pay attention to your safety." Then, without looking at them again, he walked out. One of his subordinates immediately threw Wang Yue over his shoulder and said to Shu Yu and Chi Chuanle, "It's not very safe here; you should go outside to avoid it for now." As he spoke, he walked to the window and jumped down.

He looked at the two students with a stern and cold gaze, yet treated them equally. He asked, "What is going on here?"

Shu Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded

Vagri's expression was one of confusion. She glanced at Chichuanle, then looked towards the Zero dormitory, and softly said: "Just now, I felt an extremely strange wave! It was very strong and very brief. It was as if a voice was calling out to me, saying, 'Come here, let me show you!'"

A rare smile appeared on Kang Lai's face, as if a crack had opened in a rock—he exhaled and said: "Congratulations, child, you have received the best gift that heaven has bestowed upon you"

Chi Chuanle looked at Shu Yu and said, "Do you need help?"

He did not speak falsely; it was just that at that moment, he had no intention of going out. At that time, a peculiar fervor filled his entire being; everything except for strength seemed utterly insignificant! In that moment, he even felt an impulse to directly kill Wang Yue at the door, to see for himself what he truly possessed!

What Vagri is referring to now should be this particular challenge

The three-story building of the Zero Dormitory trembled, swayed, and moaned, marking the beginning of everything on this restless, turbulent night

She gazed at the Zero dormitory, and after a long while, she sighed: "That sound was too fleeting; it has completely vanished now. What a pity, I have a feeling that if I could find its source, I would be able to resolve the question that has been troubling me all along"

Kang Lai didn't care about these matters at all. He pressed on, asking: "When did you regain control over your body?"

To become an S-level evolver, lineage, talent, and opportunity must all come together naturally.

From the outside, the entire accident scene appeared particularly chaotic. The Zero dormitory resembled a waking monster, trembling and roaring. Its once brightly lit body now bore some black holes—where the circuits had been damaged by the force of destruction—looking like scars on the monster, exuding a sense of danger

In fact, it is precisely for this reason that the number of S-level evolvers in the entire galaxy is even less than one billionth of that of level 9

Then, Kang Lai turned to Shu Yu and asked, "What is your name?"

A strange expression flickered across Kang Lai's face as he asked, "You haven't lost consciousness?"

A broad and powerful palm gently rested on Shuyu's shoulder, as if afraid of hurting him. He raised his head and saw a hint of warmth deep within Kang Lai's cold gaze, which was fixed intently on him. Shuyu felt a stir in his heart; although this person's appearance seemed quite intimidating, could it be that he had a good heart?

The security team member saw the captain arrive and immediately introduced, "There are four students in this room. One has finished mutating and is currently in a deep sleep, another has completed the mutation and is stable, and one has not evolved!" Chi Chuanle then added, "There is also one student who jumped out of the window as soon as the mutation began, and he should be on campus now."

Vagri stood briefly at the door, the light inside shining towards her in reverse. That beautiful silhouette quietly stood at the dormitory entrance, appearing immaculate under the fragmented light, serene and tranquil, contrasting sharply with everything around her

Chi Chuanle stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly said, "I will go help too!" The ice disc beneath his feet spread out, then reassembled, and with a whoosh, it carried him into the building, disappearing from sight

Chi Chuanle said without hesitation: "The strength is surging within me, I can clearly feel it!"

This is the Level 9 Evolver—Vagri Langley

Shu Yu answered calmly

Vagri is a level 9 evolver, said to be extremely close to level S, needing only to break through a thin boundary in between to immediately step into that level that the world admires. In accordance with her status, the place she resides is naturally elegant and secluded, far removed from the gathering place of weaklings like the Zero Dormitory. Theoretically, she should not be able to hear the commotion from this side, so why is she here now

Kang Lai did not ask any further questions, but patted him on the shoulder

Chi Chuanle shook his head and said, "No. I have been quite clear-headed all along, but when that current surged up, I completely lost control. That current lifted me up and then shot out from my pores, as if I had transformed into countless ice spikes, shattering everything around me." At this point, he muttered, "That was not something I did on purpose..."

Shu Yu did not cause any trouble; he sat down in place, propping his head up with his left hand, murmuring to himself: "Are you calling..." His right hand gently pressed against his chest, silently asking: "What exactly are you? Is all of this caused by you?"

"What happened?" A clear and wonderful voice sounded near the two. Shu Yu turned around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and an indescribable feeling swept through his heart. He deliberately ignored that inexplicable sensation and asked, "What brings you here, Princess Vageri?"

Shu Yu and Chi Chuanle exchanged a glance, and Shu Yu said: "I am not very clear about it. I was in the restroom at the time, and suddenly I felt a wave of gasps from outside. The floor and walls were shaking, and I thought it was an earthquake..."

She did not specify what the question was, but Shu Yu immediately thought of it. According to legend, for a Level 9 Evolver to advance to Level S, there is an extremely critical checkpoint. This checkpoint is not only decisive but also unimaginably difficult. Many Level 9 Evolvers spend their entire lives without even finding out where this checkpoint is located

As she spoke, she began to murmur to herself: "What is it going to show me?"

Chi Chuanle's eyes brightened again. Although he estimated that he should be at this level as well, he still did not dare to be certain. Now, hearing Vagri say this, joy surged from the bottom of his heart, and he countered, "What do you think m.hetushu.com is?"

Kang Lai asked hesitantly, "You... you feel nothing at all?"

The quiet night breeze gently caressed Vagri's silver hair. She was not wearing a school uniform, but simply a white dress, devoid of any adornments. Yet this simplicity accentuated her unparalleled beauty, making her appear like a source of light in the night, drawing the gaze of others.

Chi Chuanle said: "We studied this in class, and I knew it was going to mutate, which made me quite happy. However, when I turned my head, I found that two others in the same room were also in the process of mutation"

A gift? Could it be?

Captain Kanglai spoke up, his voice resonating with a deep hum in his chest: "It's alright, half of our people are on campus; they will be fine"

Chi Chuanle said: "Once the airflow is released, the body recovers. At that time, the door was blocked by Wang Yue. I considered it for a moment, did not go out, and instead tried to explore my new abilities"

Vagri shook her head and said to the two, "It seems quite messy inside; let me go lend a hand."

Vagri shook her head and said, "I don't know, that sound was very intense, but it was brief, as if it resonated from the depths of my soul, from the depths of my veins... I came this way following it..."

Fortunately, Shu Yu arrived just in time... His relaxed and casual demeanor instantly brought Chi Chuanle back to his original self. For some reason, at that moment, Chi Chuanle was completely unable to harbor any hostile feelings towards Shu Yu. In that state, he could casually contemplate whether to directly eliminate Wang Yue, but he did not entertain the same thought towards Shu Yu.

Vagri furrowed her brow slightly, causing Shu Yu's heart to involuntarily tighten. For a moment, he felt an impulse to reveal everything he knew and had seen, hoping to earn a smile from her. However, this thought was fleeting; he closed his mouth tightly and said not a word more.
