The yellow-brown eyes covering the Mutant's entire body uniformly expressed anger.

Director Xue asked, "Doctor, I need your professional opinion. Can Sun Kexin still be saved?"

The Doctor snorted derisively. "How can she be saved in this condition?"

Director Xue sighed. Such a promising young talent...

Then, her soft, smooth, pale hand gently clenched, and with a BOOM, the massive Mutant completely burst apart.

An Eighth Energy Level expert had made a move—they were virtually invincible!

Director Xue ignored Ye Feileng, who had already lowered her head in embarrassment, and turned to Dr. Meng Ji and Gong Shuxu. "I request that the Doctor strictly examine all those who came into contact, myself included."

"Once all the checks are completed, please have the Bureau of Mystic Security's cleanup team come in. You are the most professional in this regard," Director Xue continued.

Dr. Meng Ji and Gong Shuxu nodded in agreement.

Dr. Meng Ji laughed heartily. "Rest assured, no matter how deeply those things are hidden, this Doctor can root them out—just like I did just now."

「...」

The inspection process was extremely lengthy. It included not only everyone in the underground hall, but also Kou Dingyi and the people he had led out earlier. They had come into contact with the guards outside, so these guards also needed to be checked.

Then, the entire building had to undergo a comprehensive screening.

The entire process took a grueling four days!

Furthermore, after the cleanup team came in to thoroughly decontaminate the generator, even more time was lost. Chen Gu was rendered somewhat speechless. So much time had been needlessly wasted, all because of Ye Feileng's obstinate self-righteousness.

Fortunately, the results of the inspections were encouraging: aside from Sun Kexin, no other contaminated individuals were found.

The alien entity hiding inside Sun Kexin's body seemed extremely cautious and made no unnecessary moves. It looked as though it had been 'frightened.'

Once everything was finally over, Ye Feileng jumped in again. "Have Bai Zhijin take up his post immediately! The military training for the newcomers has already been delayed for too long."

During these four days, Wang Chengqian, who was staying at the hotel, had also grown somewhat desperate. The time initially set aside was for him to conduct some temporary training for these newcomers. This was intended to somewhat increase their safety during the upcoming military training.

The military training for newcomers at Huai Shan Branch School was completely different from that of other universities—it actually had a mortality rate!

But now, with those three newcomers missing, he had no time for training. If something genuinely went wrong during the military training, he would also have to bear the associated responsibility.

Chen Gu was utterly speechless at Ye Feileng's behavior. Even in this situation, she still insists on speaking up for 'her own people'! This isn't just obstinacy; it's sheer narrow-mindedness.

Sun Kexin was already dead. If Bai Zhijin's inauguration ceremony proceeded and something similar to what happened to Sun Kexin occurred, Chen Gu would have to wait several more days.

He would very likely miss the newcomers' military training because of this.

At this juncture, the most appropriate choice was undoubtedly to let Chen Gu advance first. After all, Dr. Meng Ji had already endorsed him, stating that Chen Gu was the professional with the highest spiritual purity he had ever encountered.

Chen Gu's initial impression of Ye Feileng had actually been quite favorable, but he never anticipated she would turn out to be this kind of person. Looking back now, Wang Chengqian's straightforward, brash personality seemed far more agreeable.

Director Xue glanced coolly at Ye Feileng and said, "Instructor Ye, the Principal has already issued an order. Once you've completed all checks and it's confirmed you haven't been contaminated, return to the school first. There are other arrangements for you."

Ye Feileng was stunned, finding it hard to accept. "The Principal, he..." This is holding me accountable, forbidding me from overseeing the new student military training this time!

"For a mere new student?" Ye Feileng pointed at Chen Gu. "The Principal actually values him more? Impossible! The Principal specially recruited two ordinary students. It's absolutely impossible that he values *him*!"

Director Xue shook her head gently, not wishing to explain further.

The Principal hadn't said anything, but his actions had already made his stance clear. To be honest, Director Xue also found it somewhat difficult to understand why the Principal valued such a student.

For Huai Shan Branch School, Chen Gu was not a 'quality' student.

He was already on the brink of advancing from the Second Energy Level to the Third Energy Level. Furthermore, he was a special agent of the Bureau of Mystic Security and the director of the military's advanced research institute.

Ye Feileng was unaware of the matter concerning Research Institute 745, but Director Xue knew.

Huai Shan Branch School hoped to recruit students like Sun Kexin and Bai Zhijin: those with no background whatsoever, who weren't even professionals before enrollment.

They could mold such students into the individuals they desired.

Alternatively, students like Qiao Shuangyi were also acceptable. They came from profound family backgrounds and had only recently become professionals. Such students could help Huai Shan Branch School become even more deeply entrenched.

But the Principal was always visionary, with far-reaching plans. Director Xue only executed orders, never questioning the reasons.

Chen Gu was also somewhat surprised. The Principal has never met me. He admitted me to the school, secretly arranged for the generator at Wuning Temple to aid my advancement—even risking a fallout with Aviloya—and now he's firmly supporting me, even to the point of dismissing his capable subordinate professor.

Although Ye Feileng mostly brought the dismissal upon herself, it still illustrates the Principal's attitude.

Why is he so good to me? It's not like he's one of my idiotic close friends.

Could it be that he has seen something? Chen Gu couldn't help but think of the secrets he carried, a sense of unease stirring within him.

However, on the surface, Chen Gu maintained an indifferent and unruffled demeanor—the composure of Great Actor Chen. In Ye Feileng's eyes, this merely appeared as the new student being smug about his victory.

"Fine! I'll leave!" Ye Feileng snapped, turning to leave with a sweep of her sleeves. But at the doorway, she suddenly spun around, glaring at Chen Gu with resentment. "College is long, Chen Gu!"

Director Xue's assessment of Ye Feileng plummeted once more. The Principal was right; Ye Feileng's character is deeply flawed. She's narrow-minded and unlikely to achieve true greatness. The Sixth Energy Level is almost her limit. Whether she can break through to the Seventh Energy Level is entirely up to fate; the Eighth Energy Level... absolutely impossible.

It's a pity, too, Director Xue mused. Ye Feileng's innate talent is exceptionally high. She was also specially recruited into Huai Shan Branch School from a humble background. Based on the tests from her year, her talent ranked within the top five of all students at Huai Shan Branch School; she genuinely had a chance to strive for the Ninth Power Level.

Chen Gu was taken aback. You're a professor! A dignified Sixth Energy Level expert, and you're publicly threatening a new student like me in a place like this?!

This isn't just about your own dignity; you're disgracing Huai Shan Branch School!

Director Xue also looked somewhat embarrassed and gently consoled Chen Gu, "Instructor Ye just has that kind of temper. Don't take it to heart."

Chen Gu smiled faintly. He didn't believe that Ye Feileng, as an instructor, could really do anything to him, a mere student. As for making things difficult... heh, Great Actor Chen has lived two lives; when has he ever shied away from a few difficulties?

Besides, the Bureau of Mystic Security still has Aviloya. When it comes to making things difficult for others, she's the true master.
