The Xeton Ethereal Foundation was, as usual, filled with a bustling atmosphere as disciples walked around here and there, walking towards their respective classes.
Yara Haley cried like a baby when she saw her bestie Valentina again and wouldn't leave her company when she came to class.
Instead of focusing on the class, she was busy asking her what she was up to while going taking a long leave of absence.
Valentina had a hard time satisfying her friend's curiosity and was somehow able to cook up a good story for what she was doing all this time.
But she had no idea how Yara would react if she came to know about her brother, Drake, being imprisoned.
Still, the return of the Bloody Fairy after a long leave caused quite a hubbub in the school. The men who were masochists enough to want to receive death stares from her gathered outside her class to get a glimpse of her while the men who tried to court her the wrong way were sweating profusely upon hearing her return and was trying their best to stay as far away from her as possible while unconsciously shielding their crotch.
Meanwhile, Damien had planned to pay a visit to the crown prince of the Xeton Empire, Arthur Xeton.
After all, he had promised to help treat his mother using the pandemonium needles.
Still, first, he decided to attend his only favorite class...alchemy, and of course, the main reason he even wanted to attend this class was because of a single person...his stunningly beautiful teacher.
His return to the Xeton Ethereal Foundation also created quite a commotion since the Lightning Prince's fame had only grown even more in his absence, making him sort of an idol for younger cultivators who didn't have a big background.
If a nobody like Damien can become a genius cultivator while having a goddess like Valentina as his girlfriend, can't they also achieve the same if they strive hard for it?

However, Damien could only wonder how people would react once they knew that his cultivation had increased tremendously while he was away. Even he didn't know how much his true combat prowess would be if he went all out.
As far as he knew, using only his Undying Wrath would make him as strong as a cultivator of the First Level of the Sky Ethereal Realm.
So what happens if he uses his ethereal arts coupled with his powerful Crimson Death sword?
Of course, he had only tried using the first phase of his Undying Wrath, which would mutate the two energies in his body to give rise to 20% Anti-Energy.
And by now, he was able to effortlessly use the first phase without feeling much exhaustion. So he felt that he could finally use the second phase, which would give rise to 40% Anti-Energy!
He could only imagine the tremendous increase in his strength once he used it.
Of course, he speculated that he wouldn't be able to use it as long as the first phase unless he wanted to die.
He suddenly felt as if he was reaching closer and closer to his goal faster than he anticipated. Still, he knew there was still a huge gap to reach his goals.
But still, the fact that he was stronger than all other cultivators of his age group made him feel more confident. In fact, if he wanted to, he could take up the position of a junior elder in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation.
Still, he didn't care about such positions unless it would help him in his missions. Right now, all he wanted was to enjoy Reva's classes like before while subtly teasing her.

For some reason, they could feel the change in Damien's aura, making them feel that he had become more charming and hot while he was gone.
He sat in his usual seat by the window while waiting for his favorite teacher to arrive.
And then, as expected, at the precise time, the Ethereal Fairy made her appearance making the whole class maintain pin-drop silence.
The flawlessly beautiful woman was, as usual, wearing a snow-gauze long dress that covered her feet, entering the class with graceful steps.
Her crystal and charming azure eyes were cold and hard as a frozen abyss, with her face expressionless as an ice cube just like he remembered. Her long sapphire-colored hair that flowed down her back made her look like an avatar of the beautiful oceans, and even now, Damien felt as if he couldn't get enough by admiring it after all this time.
Boys and girls alike, their mouths went agape seeing the otherworldly beauty enter their class. No one let out a single sound, and their eyes were transfixed on her celestial figure as if their souls were involuntarily drawn towards her.
There was absolute silence in the class as everyone even stopped breathing, and it was as if their hearts had stopped beating. Damien felt amused seeing how all these disciples were still spellbound by her appearance and disposition, though he knew they couldn't be blamed exactly.
He placed his chin on his palm as he continued to look at her, waiting for her to look at him.
But to his surprise, she had already started the class without paying a single glance in his direction, making him think that something was indeed wrong.
He tried to get her to look at him by asking questions, but she answered them coldly without even looking at him, making his face heat up since it was a bit embarrassing.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Still, this only made him feel that something was definitely wrong, and she was probably pissed at him.
He patiently waited for the class to get over, and as Reva walked out of the class, he silently began to follow her, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
