Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 859 - 379: [Voidwalker] (2)

The mentors were in a fierce uproar, quarreling intensely.Zhong Yuanbei would never believe that this was because he had offended too many people by taking advantage at school, leading to today's assault under a random pretext.

He felt that it was this rebellious student who had implicated him!

A student like this, it's surely fine to give him a thrashing once he comes out, right? How could a teacher beating a student be called corporal punishment? This is for the student's own good, like hating the steel for not turning into iron.

This is a teacher's earnest guidance!

Zhong Yuanbei is now considering the question: this kid is still at the Seventh Energy Level; I should still be able to take him on!

The uproar outside was intense, yet everyone maintained their boundaries, not really breaking down the door to rush in. After all, Chen Gu was conducting some sort of experiment which could be at a critical moment, and rushing in uninvited might cause Chen Gu to fail.

Inside the dormitory, in the forging ground, the instrument had already halted, and Milgray watched Chen Gu within the instrument with anticipation, their symbiotic relationship letting her know very clearly that Chen Gu was still alive.

Yet Chen Gu stood there motionless.

"Hey, how's it going?"

Chen Gu slowly turned his head, looking at Milgray. The super life discovered a bit of puzzlement and confusion on his face, then suddenly stepped forward, seemingly entering an invisible door, disappearing from this space.

In the next moment, Milgray turned in shock as Chen Gu emerged from another invisible "space door" beside her!

Milgray laughed joyfully, "It worked! I knew it; immense power brings miracles. Set it to the maximum output, that's the way to go!"

Chen Gu's brow was still furrowed, unable to understand: I always believed that my multiclass abilities relied on "The Past of 400" to be achieved, but this time, why was "The Past of 400" unresponsive, and I hadn't opened any page of [Voidwalker], yet I could exhibit this job's abilities?

The spatial traversal just now was completely different from the [Quantum Teleportation] of [Quantum Wizard].

Could I have been fundamentally mistaken from the start?

Chen Gu doesn't think he's so great that he can't make mistakes—one must know that human history has always believed multiclass individuals couldn't exist, but now it's proven wrong.

The whole race can make mistakes, let alone Chen Gu as a single individual.

Moreover, the issue is that the experiment conducted with this instrument was merely a "test", to test whether Chen Gu truly had the talent for [Voidwalker].

Yet it directly let him assume this profession, allowing him to use the skills freely!

Milgray also realized this point, though the super life attributed all this to possibly deriving from Tyrant Gulati's remnant primary structure.

"The Myriad Forms Heavenly Dragon is indeed mighty and unfathomable!" Milgray admired, eyes filled with a greedy glow—not directed at Chen Gu, but toward the Myriad Forms Heavenly Dragon they were about to hunt. Milgray was already fantasizing about how high her life level would reach if she truly devoured that fellow!

Chen Gu suddenly grabbed Milgray's hand, very forcefully, "I need your help!"

Milgray met his intense gaze, feeling a bit panicked, "You... What do you intend to do... I warn you, I'm a powerful super life..."

Chen Gu, not knowing what was going through her mind, urgently said, "I need a lot of resources, I'm about to advance!"

This is a kind of intuitive sensation, very mysterious, difficult to articulate clearly why it is this way. Since advancing to the Seventh Energy Level, Chen Gu's accumulated skill points have been far lacking, yet until now, Chen Gu hadn't made any plans for advancing.

But after suddenly becoming a [Voidwalker], perhaps influenced by professional overlap, Chen Gu suddenly had an insight: he must advance, otherwise the overlapping professions might collapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

For advancing to the Eighth Energy Level, Chen Gu had no resources at hand!

Only Milgray, the principal, and Aviloya could help him. Milgray was the most promising, considering their symbiotic relationship.

"Consider it a loan, I'll definitely return it to you in the future."

Milgray exclaimed, "Advance! Are you crazy? You've only been at the Seventh Energy Level for how long? The Eighth Energy Level isn't just trivial for you humans, don't think you can be so careless just because you're a genius, you'll be punished! You must be responsible for your own life, and also to me!"

Chen Gu had to patiently explain his condition, leaving Milgray wide-eyed, speechless, "This... this..."

This situation, even in the long life of a super life, had never occurred before. Milgray's wealth of experience held no reference for such circumstances.

Milgray hadn't severed the symbiotic relationship with Chen Gu, leaving her momentarily disoriented, muttering, "This is the Eighth Energy Level, the advancement resources are extremely precious, even for me, not something I can readily produce.

Let's go find the principal! Yes, let's find the principal, we'll ask him directly and clear up this mess..."

Milgray pulled Chen Gu as they rushed outside.

Outside the dormitory door, Zhong Yuanbei was fiercely arguing with the other mentors, firmly believing: everyone is a mature life entity and must be responsible for their own actions. Teachers are teachers, students are students; it doesn't make sense for the teachers to suffer for the students' mistakes.

The other teachers wouldn't let him get away with it so easily, caught in an intense argument, when suddenly the door opened and two people came rushing out.

The mentors swarmed around them, shouting, "Got them! Don't let them escape now..."

Milgray and Chen Gu were quite anxious, Chen Gu could even feel his professional abilities within him slowly dispersing, as if about to tear him apart altogether.

Time is urgent!

"Clear out!" Milgray shouted loudly, exuding the heroic aura of a female warrior.

"What exactly is going on?" a mentor asked, "You can't just cause this massive damage and walk away."

Milgray said irritably, "Chen Gu possesses the talent of [Void Walker]..."

"Impossible!" The mentors instinctively shouted. That's certainly one of the rarest talents. Zhong Yuanbei stepped forward and asked sternly, "Chen Gu, speak the truth."

Chen Gu was anxious but still had to remain polite in front of the mentors: "I need to immediately advance to the Eighth Energy Level, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After saying this, Chen Gu took Milgray and leaped up into the air, heading straight for the principal's residence.

Zhong Yuanbei was a bit dumbfounded: Eighth Energy Level? How long has it been since this kid advanced to the Seventh Energy Level?

This mentor... Just advancing to the Seventh Energy Level took me more than ten years to settle in, and this kid... is he even human? So the question arises, if he really advances to the Eighth Energy Level, I probably really won't be able to teach him anymore! How am I going to uphold the dignity of mentorhood?

The other mentors were also stunned, others reaching high energy levels have to be very cautious with each advancement, fearing insufficient accumulation.

In lower energy levels, especially before the Fourth Energy Level, many geniuses can advance swiftly, with situations of advancing a level every year or half-year not being uncommon.

However, after the Fifth Energy Level, this becomes very rare. Many geniuses who break through quickly in the early stages are forced to settle down at a certain energy level, honing painstakingly for a decade or even decades. And many exceptionally talented individuals in the early stages might even be stuck permanently at certain energy levels.

Why does it seem like for Chen Gu, advancing is even faster than in lower energy levels?

Everyone was stunned, and Chen Gu had already run off. Once they came to their senses, they unhesitatingly surrounded Zhong Yuanbei again: "Compensation!"

"Father's debt to be paid by the son, disciple's debt to be paid by the mentor!"

Zhong Yuanbei shouted, "Everyone shut up!"

"I trained someone to Eighth Energy Level! You all should show more respect to me. Once Chen Gu successfully advances, I'll be the top mentor at [Huai Shan Branch School]. Who dares disrespect me?"

With a loud shout, after intimidating everyone, Zhong Yuanbei slipped away!

The other mentors only reacted then, angrily shouting, "So what if you're the top mentor, you have to compensate if you've made a mistake. He's justified, he's aggressive, on what grounds?"

"Let's go, demand compensation!"

"Today if Zhong Yuanbei doesn't give an explanation, it won't end well!"

A group of mentors aggressively headed towards Zhong Yuanbei's lab, as for going to find Chen Gu... that was impossible; Chen Gu was definitely looking for the principal, why bother seeking frustration in front of the principal?

Even demanding compensation requires strategy; one convenient tactic is to pick the easy target!

...

Chen Gu found the principal's expression to be very bad; all of the principal's wives were present in the main building, clearly, his arrival might have interrupted some of the principal's enjoyable moments.

However, once Chen Gu and Milgray quickly explained the situation, the principal's demeanor turned serious: "How could this happen..."

The principal had never encountered such a situation before.

Milgray steeled herself and said, "There's no time to investigate further; we must immediately gather the resources for advancing to the Eighth Energy Level, otherwise Chen Gu might physically collapse!"

The principal suddenly understood and subconsciously said, "But I'm a poor man, don't look at how much I earn, I have to provide for this big family..."

Chen Gu thought to himself: Isn't that true, just look at how many companions you have!

Milgray instantly gave a sharp look and said grimly, "You coaxed me into the Confederation, and now you're going to stand by and watch as Chen Gu and I face death together?"

The principal seemed to be a head shorter in front of females this lifetime, very unrefined for someone of stature, shrinking from Milgray's gaze: "Um... let's call Aviloya over, and we'll pool together a bit, it should be possible to gather enough."

Once Aviloya arrived and learned about the situation, she nearly wanted to draw her sword and kill the mentor!

You can't bear those precious cultivation resources, yet is my family wealthy?

Luckily Aviloya was a perceptive person too, and with a stroke of her pen, she approved a portion of resources for Chen Gu from the Bureau of Mystic Security's public treasury!

At Chen Gu's level, the Bureau was already supposed to cover a portion, now they're just increasing that portion. But this additional portion is not given for free; once Chen Gu advances to the Eighth Energy Level, he'll need to compensate with merit points.

Aviloya smugly glanced at the principal, thinking, "Trying to swindle me, not that easy!"

Whether it's the principal or Valkyrie, in front of lower-level people, they maintain a high and mighty demeanor, but when confronted with tasks at the same level, the aspect of "human nature" becomes more apparent.

The principal, while taking out various precious remains, minerals, gemstones, rattled on saying, "Write the note of debt, remember to repay it, you see, this is my marital asset..."

For the Bureau of Mystic Security, arranging a large-scale generator was no problem, and soon they had it set up for Chen Gu, located on a desolate planet several star systems away, belonging to the Confederation's large research institute.

Chen Gu entered the generator, the airlock door closed, and outside the three dignitaries' faces suddenly showed serious expressions: within such a short time, Chen Gu is forced to attempt the Eighth Energy Level despite lacking skill points accumulation; how much chance of success does Chen Gu have?

Dr. Meng Ji was excitedly commanding his researchers, "Record carefully, this kid is advancing against common sense, it's precious data..."
