The girl in front of him was relatively petite, a head shorter than Cheng Xiao.
The first impression she gave was like a beautiful and vibrant white rose.
Pure and flawless, yet exuding a charming and graceful allure, her hair was styled high into a bun and cascaded down her chest.
Her frame was small but exquisitely proportioned, the type that leaves a lasting impression with just one glance.
"Hello, my name is Ding Yumin!"
Hearing her self-introduction, Cheng Xiao was taken aback.
Ding Yumin, the Mental System Calamity?!
Why was she looking for me? As this question surfaced in Cheng Xiao's mind, the answer instantly appeared.
Ding Yumin had been taken in by Mingzhu Academy's Fu Yuanzhang since she was young, and Dean Xiao also cared for her deeply.
If there was any reason for her to come looking for him, it was likely only these two people, and Cheng Xiao had only interacted with Dean Xiao.
Ding Yumin's eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone's confusion.
A smile appeared on her face as she explained:
"Dean Xiao asked me to come find you. He said he wanted me to take you to get the resources that belong to you."
For some reason, her words immediately warmed his heart, and a strange thought arose in his mind: he could unconditionally trust this beautiful girl in front of him.
Cheng Xiao knew the abilities of the Mental System, and his mental strength was also not weak, allowing him to control his emotions and thoughts well.
"Are they the resources from the Beast Fighting Competition?" Cheng Xiao nodded:
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior, to lead the way."
"How did you know I was your senior?" Ding Yumin asked with a smile.
"I didn't see Senior among the people I defeated in the Beast Fighting Competition, and someone as impressive as Senior, if she were a freshman, it would be impossible for me to have no impression at all," Cheng Xiao said.
Hearing this, the students who came to watch on the corridor were so angry they almost spat blood.
Not seeing her among the number of people he defeated was undoubtedly a sharp blade, piercing deeply into the hearts of all the freshmen.
How could such cold words come from a mouth that was thirty-seven degrees?
"Is that a compliment?"
"Yes, Senior does indeed have a unique charm."
"..."
Watching the two leave, chatting and laughing, this scene broke countless hearts.
Ding Yumin was the recognized number one goddess of the Fire Element in the Main Campus!
She was the object of secret admiration for countless students in the Main Campus.
Cheng Xiao had only been enrolled for a few days, yet he was already chatting with someone, and it was even Ding Yumin who took the initiative to find him.
Leaving aside Ding Yumin, there was the Healing System sister from the Beast Fighting Competition before, and the big-breasted Ai Tutu.
Even Mu Nujiao, the recognized goddess among the freshmen, was revolving around Cheng Xiao!
His strength was like a devil's, and he had so many goddesses around him. It was simply killing and heart-breaking...
...
"King, this girl's mental strength is very unusual," Bell's voice echoed in his mind.
"Oh? You can tell?" Cheng Xiao asked curiously.
"I can sense a little. It seems she is suppressing her mental strength right now to prevent the surroundings from being affected by her powerful mental strength. She is very dangerous," Bell said.
"This kind of power is called the Calamity Soul Body. Her Calamity Soul Body belongs to the Mental System. Because of the Calamity Soul Body, she has possessed soul-level power that is difficult to control since the moment she awakened," Cheng Xiao explained:
"Soul-level power requires high-level cultivation to be fully controlled, which is why she has been suppressing her mental strength.
"If she doesn't suppress it, the soul-level power of her Mental Calamity can easily erupt and cause destruction to the surroundings."
"King's knowledge is profound, your subordinate is ashamed of his inferiority," Bell flattered.
"..."
Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly, already used to Bell's occasional flattery.
Soon, Ding Yumin led Cheng Xiao to the top floor of Mingzhu Academy's library.
The top floor was not open to everyone, even Ding Yumin was not qualified to go up.
After sending Cheng Xiao to the top floor, Ding Yumin left.
Dean Xiao was already waiting there. Seeing Cheng Xiao, he smiled gently:
"It seems you two got along well."
"It was alright, Senior Ding is quite friendly," Cheng Xiao said.
"Then do you have any thoughts of taking it further?" Dean Xiao's smile didn't fade.
Cheng Xiao remained silent, looking at Dean Xiao with a strange expression.
"Let me tell you her story."
Dean Xiao didn't pay attention to Cheng Xiao's odd gaze and simply recounted Ding Yumin's experiences to Cheng Xiao as they walked.
After listening, Cheng Xiao's heart didn't have much of a ripple, because he already knew about this tragic girl, Ding Yumin.
"Senior Ding is indeed very pitiful," Cheng Xiao asked, pretending to be confused while knowing the truth:
"Then do you mean to set me up with her?"
"Haha, I'm an old man now, I've experienced a lot, and I can see your special qualities," Dean Xiao said with a smile:
Original text is being read!
"I won't delve into this. I won't force anything regarding you and Ding Yumin. I just think you have common ground and can talk more.
"If possible, please help her out for me and Old Fu when necessary. She found something in common with you that she has never found in others."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao roughly understood Dean Xiao's meaning.
Perhaps it was his extraordinarily shocking Undead Element ability that Dean Xiao noticed, thus treating him as a Calamity similar to Ding Yumin?
Even if he wasn't a Calamity, he and Ding Yumin could still be classified as anomalies by certain people...
"If she needs me, I will help her within my capabilities," Cheng Xiao said.
Dean Xiao smiled.
This answer was enough. Feelings always need to be cultivated slowly.
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection. Cheng Xiao might find it abrupt now, but who knows about the future...
The two arrived at an independent conference room.
Dean Xiao got to the point:
"The full-element resources you obtained are public resources distributed to countless students."
"Public resources belong to the academy's property, so we will convert them and calculate them into the resources you need."
Cheng Xiao nodded. This was within his expectations and acceptable.
"According to the rules promised to you, you defeated three thousand people, resulting in additional resources from fourteen different element systems and departments," Dean Xiao waved his hand.
Immediately, several miniature Magic Tools appeared on the conference table.
Dean Xiao said with a smile:
"These are all treasures I obtained when I was young and venturing out, unrelated to the academy. Choose one."
Cheng Xiao was stunned for a while before reacting.
The Magic Tools that appeared on the table were all soul-level, worth over a hundred million!
Dean Xiao was too generous, or was this special treatment for him?
Cheng Xiao didn't think too much. Since Dean Xiao was willing to take them out, there was no reason for him to refuse.
After a glance, Cheng Xiao immediately took a liking to a short sword, which looked like a Magic Tool for cutting.
The short sword was entirely black and gold, with a very peculiar feel, made of some unknown material.
Seeing this, Dean Xiao explained:
"This is a Magic Tool forged from a Commander Level dark creature, yet to be named. I used it when I was on assassination missions back in the day."
"Assassination?" Cheng Xiao suppressed his smile.
No wonder Dean Xiao was so open-minded; he probably did all sorts of things when he was young.
"Is it forged from the strange bones of a dark creature?" Cheng Xiao rubbed the short sword and asked curiously.
"No, this short sword is that dark creature."
"???"
"This is a soul-level Magic Tool that has transformed into a weapon."
