"What's the situation?"

Ji Xin saw the look on Tang Language's face, frowned slightly, and asked curiously.

Tang Language blushed and then replied, "It's been resolved."

"What about Chen Lusi?"

Ji Xin nodded, she had already guessed this when she discovered that all of Catherine's clones had disappeared: "And what about that Inquisition referee?"

"Dead..."

Tang Language hesitated for a moment before continuing, "As for Chen Lusi... she's currently beside the body, preventing nearby students from approaching. The Anomaly Realm created by the referee collapsed and overlapped with reality upon her death, and now that school has started, there are many students."

"..."

Ji Xin was stunned by this news, it was unexpected for her.

However, she was mentally prepared, so she didn't react like the other ordinary members. Instead, she frowned and looked at Tang Language, asking, "Then what are you doing here?"

Tang Language: "..."

Silence.

Seeing Tang Language's strange expression, Ji Xin furrowed her brows and continued to ask, "What happened!?"

Tang Language: "..."

Still silent.

Other ordinary members noticed Tang Language's silence and also found it strange, so they couldn't help but look at her.

Ji Xin, not getting a response, took a deep breath and increased her tone with some irritation: "Tang Language!"

"..."

Tang Language's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and upon hearing Ji Xin's intensified tone, she whispered back, "I'm scared..."

"You're scared?"

Ji Xin, upon hearing this, slowly questioned, "What are you afraid of?"

Other ordinary members were also puzzled.

Tang Language continued to whisper, "Chen Lusi."

"Chen Lu... huh?"

Ji Xin instinctively wanted to repeat it, but halfway through, she suddenly looked up, a slight astonishment appearing on her face.

"..."

Tang Language, noticing everyone looking at her, bit her lip and decided to just spill everything, disregarding any embarrassment: "His tier ascended! And it's not just about consolidating a Stone! He skipped core gathering and solid core! He even completed soul cutting, placing his soul into the Stone!

I even suspect he has touched the threshold of Zhan Kan... because it doesn't even seem like the soul quantity of a Car薪 Level!

You wouldn't believe it! He went berserk, tore apart the Anomaly Realm, and chased the Inquisition referee like crazy, nearly driving her to insanity... She screamed at the sight of Chen Lusi, as if she'd seen a ghost, her wails echoed throughout the school! He completely treated her like slaughtering a pig... no, even slaughtering pigs isn't that exaggerated!!!

You still want me to protect him... he'd be more like the one protecting me!!!"

Finally, she said it all.

In an instant.

Tang Language felt much relieved.

Actually, she had held back a lot she didn't say, like concerns about the talisman issue, she didn't mention how Chen Lusi pursued that referee. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This was actually the real reason for her fear.

Because her authority had an interesting extension ability, called 'Tail-Bundling Shuttle', which was also related to space.

So she understood well what it meant for someone like Chen Lusi to shatter space like breaking glass...

It's really too exaggerated.

However, though she didn't say some things.

Just the content she did share... was already explosive enough.

Ji Xin's pupils contracted sharply.

And behind her, the ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, hearing Tang Language's words, were all dumbfounded.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Then, about a minute later, someone finally reacted, and the collective sound of sharp intakes of breath began to echo.

"Hiss—"

Wait!

So it wasn't Tang Language who defeated the referee!? It was Chen Lusi!!?

Less than an hour ago, just a bleeding tier Chen Lusi... directly reached the threshold of Zhan Kan!!?

And then drove the Russian Orthodox Church's Inquisition referee insane, treated her like slaughtering a pig!? Even scared Tang Language, this Celestial Strategy, into admitting her fear!? What the heck????

Unanimously.

Everyone present recalled Chen Lusi's words before leaving: 'Don't worry, I'll go take care of that Mijie.'

And then, their expressions weren't just strange; they were twisted...

There was no helping it.

The impact was too massive.

No matter how strong Ji Xin was, how mysterious her abilities.

They all had a mental expectation.

Because she is the Celestial Strategy of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, one of the strongest Empowerers in the country.

But who was Chen Lusi? Although many had heard of his name before, their impression of him remained at 'a rising star'.

Because he hadn't been with the Celestial Strategy Mansion for long.

Or more accurately... very short, not even a full six months.

In such a short time, it's hard to build a strong reputation...

Although the Celestial Strategy Mansion is not a traditional department, without much emphasis on seniority, the difficulty of ascending tiers for Empowerers is a given.

And every Empowerer deeply understands this.

So even if they weren't consciously thinking it, they subconsciously equate the length of time as an Empowerer with strength.

This is why, since the Monkey Anomaly Realm incident, despite everything Chen Lusi did, when news spread, most ordinary members remained skeptical, with a lot of speculation about his capabilities.

Because Chen Lusi's time as an Empowerer in the Celestial Strategy Mansion was too brief.

But now.

Now Tang Language tells them, in less than an hour... Chen Lusi had touched the threshold of Zhan Kan!!!

What kind of joke is this!!?

At this point, the brief time Chen Lusi had spent as an Empowerer wasn't bringing speculation and skepticism anymore, but shock!
