The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 649 482: Inscribing the Dao Mark, Dragon Bubble Appears! (Part 3)

"In this situation, we can't really do much about that old guy's twisted sense of humor."

"He might even want to see the excitement of your bet fight."

"Besides... things have been quite chaotic outside lately, and I don't have much energy to deal with the school's matters."

Jing Ning looked at Lin Guang: "You should be aware of the current situation at the Outer Battlefield, right?"

"I'm referring to the entire Blue Star."

Lin Guang and Lisa exchanged a glance and then nodded.

This period.

To be precise, over the past six months, the battles and intensity at the Outer Battlefield have been exceptionally fierce.

This is not just an offensive against Great Xia alone, but the entire Blue Star's defense line has been heating up in this tide, seemingly in response to the upcoming Golden Era, and the Demon Race's assaults have become increasingly ferocious.

Although the situation in Great Xia is still manageable, especially since they proactively attacked during the time when the realm boundary was reinforced due to the provincial tournament's humane fortune, killing three Tier Eight Demon Gods, and reinforced once again during the national league in August.

But no matter what, the battle situation is getting more and more intense.

Like Jing Ning and Li Jiatu, as well as many of Great Xia's strong figures, have only their avatars or are sending only a Beast King to handle Blue Star's matters so they can station themselves in the Outer Realm, most of their energy is needed to deal with the Demon Race.

If Great Xia is like this, the smaller countries on Blue Star are even less able to bear it and are starting to show signs of struggling to cope.

Countless related reports are on the news, often reporting how foreign defense lines are overwhelmed and in need of support, even traveling to Great Xia to make purchases.

"In fact, many of Great Xia's strong figures have been sent to support foreign defense lines recently, making domestic warfare a bit tight again."

"But there's no helping it."

Jing Ning shook her head: "If they break through there, and the Demon Race invades Blue Star's mainland in large numbers, even joining with the 'Purgatory Grand Duke' of the 'Seven Deadly Sins Secret Realm' in the West, the consequences would be unacceptable to us."

"But if we send some True Masters, or even one or two Giants, to guard other national defense lines, the Demon Race's assaults on Great Xia would increase... in short, it's a tug-of-war."

"However, I do have some thoughts on what you're talking about."

Lin Guang listened carefully.

"The students and teachers of Longteng University have extraordinary backgrounds and energy."

"If, as you speculate, someone is using their Talent or Special Ability to stir up the situation among the freshmen at Longteng University during this time... then I think its influence is not limited to just the campus."

Lisa showed a look of confusion.

And Lin Guang murmured: "But the principal is allowing their behavior..."

"Yes, so it's probably part of that old man's plan."

She sighed, but then smiled: "In any case, you don't need to worry too much about these things."

"I wouldn't normally say so much to a student, but you've progressed so quickly, almost comparable to a newly-entered Six-Star True Master."

"A True Master, even on the Outer Battlefield, carries weight."

"But after all, Great Xia has close to two thousand True Masters, and Blue Star has even five thousand; having one more or less of you doesn't make much difference."

"It's foolish to risk yourself when there's still great room for growth, especially given the many bloody lessons from the past."

"But as long as we can maintain this momentum, growing stronger like a hot knife through butter, I believe it won't take many years for you to shine brightly."

"Next month's Upgrade Secret Realm is already arranged; it's not in the Vast Sea Secret Realm. When the time comes, I'll take you there to absorb it to your heart's content."

Lin Guang solemnly nodded: "...Understood, thank you, Director Jing Ning."

Jing Ning smiled: "It's getting late, go pick up your partner."

"This avatar of mine has some other matters to handle."

"...Oh, by the way."

Lin Guang hesitated slightly, stopping the departing Jing Ning: "The teacher I wanted to meet..."

"Oh, that."

"The application has been sent to her."

Jing Ning showed a slightly nuanced expression: "But she sometimes gets engrossed in her creations, disconnecting from the outside world for many days, so she might not have seen it."

"In any case, whenever she sees it and responds, I really can't say."

"But since it's been sent, she'll definitely see it sooner or later, and she's an old friend of your teacher, she'll surely give you some face, you needn't worry about that."

...…

Inside Lin Guang's villa in the valley.

Second floor, Lin Guang's room.

The layout of Lin Guang's room is not much different from that in Haiyue District—a large desk, wardrobe, and a big bed, that's about it.

But the area has increased significantly.

Even though the furniture, especially the bed, was bought larger, it still felt a bit empty, so after coming to Longteng University, Lin Guang hung the six-star Spatial Spiritual Artifact scroll that Kaelis gave her, depicting a starry night and bamboo grove, on one side of her room wall as decoration.

Yet at this moment.

The once quiet and silent scroll suddenly rippled like water.

In an instant, a tiny head suddenly poked out from the scroll's interior.

It surveyed the surroundings with its dark red eyes vigilant, and then leaped out from the scroll.

Then, it entirely emerged from the scroll, its blue-green little feet making a soft thud on the floor.

It was a creature entirely black and green, only the size of a football, round and bouncy, with two small blue-green dragon horns on its head, and a short black-green dragon tail swaying behind it.

If Lisa were here, she would probably start screaming immediately.

This was—

The famous Dragon Bubble!

And the black-green variety among the twelve types of Dragon Bubble, the laziest and least willing to appear, resulting in the fewest sightings!

Then, it couldn't help but look at the direction facing the painting, towards Lin Guang's big bed.

"!!!"

The Dragon Bubble's round, bouncy body slightly shrank, its two little dragon horns twitched instantly, and then visibly puffed up, the pearl-like bright dark red eyes showing an extreme feeling of embarrassment and annoyance.

You could feel it almost wanted to curse.

Yet within that embarrassment and annoyance, there seemed to be an indescribable aftertaste and novelty.

However, the next moment, as if hearing some movement, it jumped into the scroll, as if startled.

Lin Guang's room looked as though nothing had happened.

A few minutes later, Lisa's energetic voice came from downstairs.

"We're back!"
