Shen Yanxiao returned from a rewarding journey. After successfully fooling the two, she said goodbye to the dean and Kehr and went back to the martial arts arena, feeling proud of her success.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the martial arts arena, Shen Yanxiao felt something wrong. A faint smell of blood was coming out of the arena; different from the scent of human blood, this scent belonged to the undead.
Her assignment to them today was not so intense. How could those students bleed?
Shen Yanxiao felt that something was wrong. She immediately entered the martial arts arena.
The moment her foot entered, Shen Yanxiao’s face turned blue.
The whole arena was in a mess. The students, who had been training originally, were sprawled on the ground in all directions. Low groans overflowed from their mouths. Each and every one of them was covered with wounds, and the ground was stained with blood.
The moment these teenagers saw Shen Yanxiao, they struggled to get up from the ground, trying to force themselves to stand up straight.
“Mentor Yan Di…” A young man with a wounded face looked at Shen Yanxiao with nervousness and anxiety in his eyes.
Shen Yanxiao’s face was cloudy and uncertain, her breathing became very slow.
All the teenagers straightened up quickly, but the pain all over them made their bodies sway tremendously.
All of them focused their eyes on Shen Yanxiao, and tension permeated each and every one of them.
“What’s going on?” Shen Yanxiao’s voice was unusually soft and there was not a trace of expression on her small white face. Nevertheless, it made all the teenagers very nervous.
No one responded. All the teenagers lowered their heads and seemed to be avoiding something.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. She looked for the figure of Zhanye among the teenagers, but she did not find him.
Not only Zhanye, but Shile was not in the arena either.
“Where did Zhanye and Shile go?” Among forty-seven students, only forty-five were left.
The response Shen Yanxiao got was still silence.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath.
“Is it Naken?”
When Shen Yanxiao uttered that one name, the students in the martial arts arena obviously had a trace of abnormality. They all looked up at Shen Yanxiao in surprise.
The answer was already obvious.
“Where did he take Zhanye and Shile?” Shen Yanxiao was sure that Naken had been in the martial arts arena during her absence.
The reason why she associated this incident with Naken was because it was Zhanye and Shile missing. Before, in the city, Naken showed strong hostility towards the two teenagers. If not for Iry’s timely appearance, both of them would have been beaten up by Naken.
Now, these two guys were missing; in this instant, Shen Yanxiao immediately thought of Naken.
The silent teenagers finally opened their mouths.
“Mentor Yan Di… Zhanye wants to keep you out of this matter…” A teenager hesitated for a long time before he finally spoke.
“Why?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes.
“Private fights are not allowed in the academy. If they are found out, they will be severely punished.”
“If you want me to not concern myself with this matter, tell me what exactly happened here.” Shen Yanxiao said calmly.
The undead teenagers exchanged glances with one another and were somewhat hesitant.
Finally, one teenager stepped forward and said with his head bowed, “Mentor Yan Di, this is our problem. We don’t get along well with Naken and his group. There was a lot of friction between us before. This time, they took advantage of the time when you’re away and came to trouble us. We were useless and unable to fight them.”
