I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

"What on earth happened in the Nine Sun Realm? How could Senior Brother Li and the others..."

"Yes, all those who went to the Nine Sun Realm to carry out the mission this time were extremely talented. Senior Brother Li was invincible in his realm. Even if he crossed the border, he could easily fight four people alone. It is really hard to imagine what they encountered."

"Needless to say, it must have been done by those foreign races."

"It was definitely done by an outsider. Do you know why Senior Brother Li and the others went to the Nine Sun Realm?"

"Why? Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang knows the truth?"

"Yes, I do know that spirit crystals appeared in a spirit stone mine in the Nine Sun Realm, so all the major academies sent their disciples there. The Nine Sun Realm is guarded by the mermaids, and the mermaids are quite far away from the Nine Sun Realm. Under normal circumstances, Senior Brother Li and his team would definitely be able to take down that batch of spirit crystals."

But now, not only did they fail to get the spirit crystal back, but their entire army was annihilated.

These disciples are all the best in various colleges.

If the academy didn't feel confident and had no chance of success, it would not have entrusted the task to them with confidence.

But now, an accident happened.

boom--

The physical cultivator punched the huge rock next to him.

The huge rock that was several times taller than a human was instantly shattered into pieces, with stone chips flying everywhere.

"Damn it! The Nine Sun Realm was originally our human territory, but now the mermaids are letting us do whatever we want."

"This matter is definitely related to the mermaids, but I don't think it's that simple. The mermaids are so far away from the Nine Sun Realm that they can't rush here in a short time. And the mermaids stationed in the Nine Sun Realm are no match for Senior Brother Li and his men."

"If that's the case, then there are only two possibilities. Either the mermaids arrived at the Nine Sun Realm before our Spirit Realm, or there are other foreign races involved in this matter."

"But these two possibilities...don't they both mean that there is a traitor among our human race?"

"..."

Today Ning Ruan is attending a physical training course.

Although it is very incongruous, the disciples who attend the class have already gotten used to it.

Although he is a sword practitioner and a light spiritualist, Ning Ruan's classes are very diverse.

Except for the Summoner and Magic classes, she could be seen in all other classes.

But today, even the child of destiny cannot attract people's interest.

As soon as Ning Ruan arrived, he heard all the disciples discussing the news that came back yesterday afternoon.

The college did not hide it from everyone.

Instead, he openly announced the matter through his identity jade card.

Han Ze and Liang Xiuxiu both sat next to Ning Ruan.

Although the two did not participate in the discussion, they also had complicated emotions and felt indescribably depressed in their hearts.

Liang Xiuxiu moved her lips and whispered: "Will the human race... really have traitors?"

Ning Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, yes. They may be forced into doing so, or they may be motivated by profit. Or they may simply fall into a trap set by foreign tribes."

Liang Xiuxiu: "It should be the latter."

Ning Ruan didn't answer.

She didn't know whether it was the latter, but this incident should have a huge impact on Qingyun College and even other colleges in the Dongqin Empire.

"But what is a spirit crystal?"

Han Ze and Liang Xiuxiu also don't know the answer to this question.

Ning Ruan was about to ask someone else.

But I didn't have the time to ask.

The instructor in charge of physical training arrived.

He was not surprised to see Ning Ruan, but rather quite delighted.

During this period, every move of the three sons of destiny was under their eyes.

Among them, the other two were well-behaved, which met their expectations of the child of destiny.

Only Ning Ruan attended all the classes of the instructors except the one on summoner and magic cultivation.

It would be fine if I just listened to it all the time.

But she only picked out a few from all the mentors.

For example, Master Duan who is a sword cultivator.

She used to listen to Teacher Shao, but now even Teacher Shao has been abandoned by her.

The situation on the spiritual master's side may be slightly better because there are more elements. So far, Ning Ruan has only attended classes of Huo Wushang and two other instructors.

But this is only temporary. Who knows when she will give up another one?

The same goes for physical training. Instructor Jiang was the one who was left behind by Ning Ruan in the end.

Teacher Jiang cleared his throat and prepared to start the lecture.

But at this moment, the disciple whom he valued most suddenly stood up.

His tower-like figure looks much taller than Teacher Jiang.

His usually loud voice sounded a little hoarse today.

"Teacher, did Senior Brother Li and the others...really get into trouble?"

Teacher Jiang sighed slightly and said in a very low voice: "Yes."

"The bodies of Senior Brother Li and the others..." The voice stopped abruptly before it finished speaking.

The disciple who asked the question turned pale.

If he died at the hands of foreigners, how could there be a corpse?

The atmosphere in the entire hall became cold.

Teacher Jiang looked at the disciples who were either angry or sad, and said in a deep voice: "They all died for our human race. From the moment they accepted the mission, they should have known that this might be the result."

"You feel angry, and that's good."

"But you are still too weak. If you want revenge, wait until you become stronger."

People may get angry when others say they are weak.

But it was Professor Jiang who said this word, and no one could refute it.

The class continues.

But after this episode, whether I can still listen to it is another matter.

Ning Ruan felt that the psychological qualities of the tutors at Qingyun College were indeed strong.

Even if the student is absent-minded, the instructor can still complete the process conscientiously.

There is no leniency at all.

The class ended and it was already past noon.

As soon as Teacher Jiang left.

Ning Ruan went directly to a disciple, took out a spirit stone as a reward, and asked the disciple in shock: "What is a spirit crystal?"

This disciple was the first one to mention the Nine Sun Realm and Spirit Crystal.

He swallowed and finally came to his senses. His first reaction was to use his spiritual sense to scan the storage bag that Ning Ruan handed over.

Storage bags are worthless.

But the large pile of low-quality spirit stones in the storage bag... the disciple gasped.

"Spirit...Spirit crystals are the same as spirit stones. They all come from spirit stone mines. However, spirit stones are just pure spiritual energy, while spirit crystals have different elements. Oh, and the colors of spirit crystals are also different. Unlike spirit stones, which don't even have colors."

After a pause, the disciple looked embarrassed again, "If you want to see the spirit crystal, I don't have it. Didn't you attend the spirit master's course? Some of the brothers and sisters must have this."

Ning Ruan fell into deep thought.

"Junior sister, what's wrong with you?" Liang Xiuxiu called out tentatively.

"It's okay!" Ning Ruan finally came back to his senses and said thoughtfully: "I just remembered that I seem to have this kind of thing."

"..." A disciple who was carefully holding a storage bag of spirit stones almost choked, "Fellow Daoist Ning... there is still a big difference between spirit crystals and spirit stones."

The voice just fell.

He widened his eyes again, looking in disbelief at a piece of golden jade that Ning Ruan had just taken out of his hand. The piece of jade was as big as an adult male's palm.

Ning Ruan raised her eyes and looked at him: "Is this thing a spirit crystal?"
