Outside the control room.
Thud—
Nanako was so anxious that her left foot caught her right, causing her to fall flat on the ground.
Face first.
All the mages in the training plaza outside the control panel froze for a moment,
then stared in bewilderment at the smoking control room and the little girl who had rushed out only to fall flat.
"Quick! Call the magic engineers!" Nanako shouted, pressing down on her hat:
"The control panel has malfunctioned, and my disciple is trapped inside the training ground! We need help immediately!"
Seeing the control room billowing with black smoke, all the mages in the plaza became panicked and rushed to summon professional magic engineers.
...
Meanwhile, inside the training ground.
Lynn stared with deadpan eyes at the group of magical beasts before him.
The countless high-level magical beasts and demons bared their sharp fangs, their eyes flashing with murderous intent. Many demons even displayed cruel, savage grins.
They advanced toward Lynn step by step. In their eyes, Lynn, a mere second-tier mage, posed no threat whatsoever.
They had all been captured by Winter Spring Valley.
Slaughtering a Winter Spring Valley mage would definitely be something they'd enjoy doing.
But Lynn remained completely calm.
He glanced at the light screen, rubbed his chin, and said: "My little teacher should be outside by now, right?"
He shrugged.
Feeling quite helpless.
This was exactly why he called his petite teacher stupid.
Though she was quite accomplished in magic, she was always so reckless and prone to embarrassing herself when anxious.
But since his teacher had gone outside...
Now then...
Lynn smiled slightly.
And almost at the exact moment Lynn turned his head.
The countless high-level beasts lunged at Lynn to kill him, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent, sharp teeth seemingly ready to tear him to pieces at any moment.
Terrifying roars and sneers accompanied their fierce attacks, passing in an instant.
Just as the countless high-level magical beasts and demons were about to trample Lynn into meat paste.
At that very moment.
Lynn gave them a look.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and an incredibly terrifying pressure instantly erupted from his body.
In that instant.
The charging magical beasts were suddenly blown backward one after another as if hit by an enormous energy blast.
Bang—
Bang—
Even the mighty ninth-tier magical beasts.
Even the high-level demons that only city-destroying mages could contend with.
None could withstand the terrifying power emanating from that single glance, all being thrown back like leaves in the wind, crashing heavily into the ground.
In that moment, all the magical beasts were shocked.
They trembled, their faces filled with astonishment.
In their vision.
The seemingly weak second-tier mage from before was now emanating towering black energy that had almost materialized.
That was the materialization of pressure, an aura that only beings approaching divinity would manifest.
But...
What kind of joke was this?!
How could a second-tier mage suddenly display such a terrifying aura that only demigods should possess?!
"Kneel."
A cold voice.
Almost instinctively, the magical beasts and demons, still under the massive intimidation, felt their legs weaken.
Thud—
Thud—
Their legs moved against their will, bending as they knelt one after another.
Even the plant-type magical beasts without legs uprooted themselves and prostrated trembling on the ground.
"So... so terrifying..."
"Who exactly is he? Why do I feel he's far more frightening than even the highest authority in Winter Spring Valley..."
"Shut up and kneel! Do you want to die?!"
Cold sweat poured down their bodies as they trembled in fear.
This pressure felt even more chilling than a dragon's might, more intense than the kings of the abyss.
For just that moment.
They had a strange feeling.
The being standing before them wasn't human at all, but rather some ancient, unspeakable existence.
...
Not a single magical beast dared to move. Their teeth chattered as they stared at Lynn in terror, feeling as if their hearts were slowly freezing.
Seeing the magical beasts trembling in fear,
Lynn rubbed his chin and said: "I really miss it, you know. Those days of showing off without restraint are gone forever!"
Lynn sighed wistfully.
Shouldering his staff, he strode toward them.
Any magical beast caught in his gaze would invariably shiver, not daring to move.
Not bad! Not bad at all.
Lynn looked at the magical beasts, a satisfied smile of appreciation appearing on his face.
He had been laying low before, never really encountering Winter Spring Valley's true strength. Now he could see that as Purple Rose's strongest guardian organization, they were indeed quite capable.
An Iron-backed Spiked Lizard about to break through from ninth-tier to king-tier.
A high-level demon from the Abyss, a Dark Knight almost qualified to be a king's guard.
A Fallen Unicorn that could destroy a small city just by appearing.
Being able to keep so many powerful magical beasts in captivity truly demonstrated Winter Spring Valley's prowess.
Lynn continued his inspection with appreciation.
Then, Lynn stopped in front of a winged succubus.
Succubus.
From the Abyss beyond the Purple Rose continent.
These were humanoid demons with wings on their backs and horns on their heads.
They usually appeared in female form and often entered human nightmares to feed on human essence.
Being stared at by Lynn, the succubus trembled violently, cold sweat dripping onto the ground.
What... what did he want to do?
How could someone who was just a second-tier mage suddenly emit such terrifying energy?!
This pressure felt like... like...
"You're a servant of Lilith, the Fifth King of the Abyss?"
Lynn's voice came.
The succubus's whole body shuddered, and she instinctively looked up at the young human mage before her.
How... how did he know?!
And how did he know my master's title?!
Then she saw Lynn staring at the mark on her broken pauldron.
That mark represented the forces of the Fifth King of the Abyss.
The succubus was stunned and asked: "You... you know our master?"
Lynn nodded and said: "Yes, she was quite good in bed, quite skilled."
All demons: "(ΩДΩ)!!!!"
Quite good in bed?!!
Quite skilled?!!
Could one really say such things so casually?!
That was the Fifth King of the Abyss, a king-tier powerhouse second only to gods!
The succubus trembled and asked: "May I... may I ask who you are..."
Lynn looked down at her and smiled faintly: "Heh, I haven't been to the Abyss for so long that even low-level demons like you don't recognize me anymore?"
And in that instant.
In the succubus's vision.
A terrifying figure with massive demon horns, wearing silver-gray death armor, with giant bone wings spread behind him, slowly overlapped with Lynn.
At that moment, the succubus's pupils dilated as she recognized Lynn's identity.
"No! Impossible! You're the... the... Abyss's..."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly.
