Chapter 64 Mi'er's Disappearance
The group packed their bags in Dugu Bo's medicine valley. The past few days had passed since they left with Dugu Bo, and it was time to return to the academy.
Dugu Bo had important business to attend to, so Wu Heyi and Dugu Yan had no choice but to follow Dean Sen on their journey home.
The journey was long and arduous, like the ends of the earth, and it took two days of travel to finally arrive.
The journey was so bumpy that Wu Heyi almost fell apart.
Wu Heyi thought to himself that if he had the time, he would definitely improve this means of transportation.
At this moment, he recalled that beyond a certain sea, there lay a strange continent. The civilization on that continent, due to the mediocre strength of its inhabitants, had embarked on the path of technology.
However, they are exceptionally talented in science and alchemy, and if one has the opportunity to visit them, one might be pleasantly surprised.
Back at the academy, Wu Heyi couldn't wait to get back to his soft bed and have a good night's sleep. However, before he even got back to his dormitory, he heard some terrible news.
During the few days he was away, Mi'er took on an academy mission, but she had already exceeded the deadline by three days and had not returned. Because she was a genius of the academy, the academy also dispatched a team of teachers above the Soul Master level to search for her.
However, after searching along the mission route for three days, they found nothing, and Mi'er has now been listed as a missing person.
This was like a bolt from the blue for Wu Heyi. In the original work, there was no mention of this woman. It was all because of his butterfly effect that such a genius was born.
He couldn't help but wonder if the laws of nature in this world had the ability to self-repair and had forcibly erased her.
Wu Heyi, who had always scoffed at theology, found it hard to believe that such an absurd thing must have happened due to some special event that caused Mi'er to disappear without a trace.
Exhausted, Wu Heyi arrived at the mission reception area of the intermediate academy to check the missions that Mi'er had accepted.
In every reputable academy, once students reach the intermediate level, they are generally eager to break through level 20 and then work hard, like a flock of fledglings yearning for the day when their wings are fully grown. When Soul Masters reach level 20 or 30, it's like finding a sturdy umbrella in a storm, gaining a sliver of self-protection.
However, in this vast world, not every Soul Master can cultivate to the level of Soul Master or even Soul King as easily as climbing a ladder. Most people often encounter an insurmountable wall at the Soul Venerable stage, stagnating from there. In order to make the whole society function like a precise machine, intermediate academies bear a sacred mission and have an obligation to arrange internship opportunities for their students.
After completing these internships, students gain a key to unlock the treasures of life, accumulating more life experience and enabling them to establish themselves more confidently in society after graduation. Of course, not all tasks in the Task Hall are so complex and difficult as to be daunting; they are also divided into different levels, like steps on a ladder.
Students who cannot raise their soul power to level 20 or above before the age of 30 can only access intermediate-level missions at most, as if blocked by an invisible barrier. Only those students who reach level 30 soul power before the age of 25 are qualified to access advanced missions, as if they have embarked on a broad road leading to a higher realm.
Above the advanced missions, there are S-level missions, which are like mysterious treasures, containing endless dangers but also exuding alluring opportunities. These missions mostly originate from the serendipitous discoveries of students and teachers during their outings, or from their courageous exploration of potential crises.
Only students who have broken through to a level 35 Soul Master or higher before the age of 20 are capable of undertaking these missions. Furthermore, they must be accompanied by at least one level 40 Soul Grandmaster mentor to embark on this unknown journey.
However, the circumstances surrounding Mi'er's disappearance this time involved that terrifying S-rank mission. Along with her two Soul Master teachers, both above level 40, they too vanished without a trace, as if swept away by a mysterious whirlwind. Therefore, this mission became exceptionally difficult, like a ferocious beast that made everyone hesitate to attempt it.
It has been upgraded from S-rank to double S-rank overnight. Only students or teachers with the strength of Soul King or above are qualified to tame this behemoth.
In the Mission Hall, such missions are like brilliant stars in the night sky, numbering more than a dozen. Each one is like a long marathon, requiring decades to conquer.
Although once such a mission is completed within a certain number of years, one will be promoted to an advanced academy like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and the missions of the advanced academy are at most A or S class, the person affected this time is Wu Heyi.
After studying the mission all night, Wu Heyi pounced on the mission from the dean like a hungry tiger.
Both deans were well aware of Wu Heyi's strength; however, due to the limitations of Wu Heyi's basic soul power cultivation level, they were both aware that his combat endurance was problematic, so they did not approve it immediately.
However, Wu Heyi was adamant about going, and the situation reached a stalemate. Neither of the two deans wanted to let this talented student fall like a shooting star, after all, they had already lost one.
Just as the stalemate was at its peak, the door to the dean's office was suddenly pushed open from the outside as if swept by a whirlwind.
All three of them looked towards the doorway simultaneously. Wu Heyi was filled with anticipation that Mi'er would return safely, but instead, several teenagers walked in like intruders.
"Um, Dean, we!" Lin Bei was slightly embarrassed, his words stammering like beads from a broken string.
"We request to team up with Wu He!" Ye Lingling, who was usually gentle and weak, suddenly spoke up boldly like a brave warrior.
"What?" the three exclaimed in unison, their surprise evident.
"Let's take on the mission together with Wu Heyi and go find Mi'er," Dugu Yan continued.
Although both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were once defeated by Wu Heyi, young people of this age are broad-minded, do not hold grudges, and are full of loyalty.
Although Yu Tianheng behind everyone remained silent and still looked arrogant, it must be said that their team of five was so powerful that even a late-stage Soul King would find it difficult to defeat them easily.
Seeing these people, Wu Heyi felt a surge of warmth in his heart, after all, this matter had little to do with them.
Dean Sen covered his face with his hand, avoiding Wu Heyi's gaze, but ultimately agreed to let Wu Heyi take on the mission. After all, Wu Heyi's actual strength had indeed met the standards for accepting the mission.
