Chapter 336: Hidden Formation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Yunyan was not only the campus belle, but also the president of the student council. Everyone knew that she came from an influential and well-off family, so she was idolized by many of the male students.

However, few dared to get close to her, and those who tried to make romantic overtures were rejected.

Du Yunyan and Qian Yingying were best friends and had a very good relationship. Both were not in a relationship, so some people mistakenly believed that they swung the other way.

However, what they saw at this moment was quite shocking. Du Yunyan was being so polite and respectful to a stranger!

How was this possible?

Qian Yingying was the first to react. She looked at Ye Chen with hostility and asked Du Yunyan, “Yunyan, what are you doing? You know this pervert?”

Du Yunyan’s expression changed as she knew that Ye Chen’s identity was special. She quickly covered Qian Yingying’s mouth and said, “Mr. Ye, my friend has mistaken you for someone else. I’m really sorry. By the way, where did you go yesterday? Our whole family was looking for you.”

“Actually, my dad knows he misunderstood, so he wants to treat you to a meal personally to apologize.”

Qian Yingying was stunned.

She knew Yunyan’s father’s identity and status very well. How could such a person apologize to this guy?

What a joke!

Also, how did Yunyan meet this pervert?

“There’s no need for that.”

To everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen rejected her without hesitation.

After that, he simply turned away and walked off toward the principal’s office, paying no heed to the two girls behind.

“Mr. Ye…”

Du Yunyan was not angry at all. After all, her father had gone too far yesterday, so it was understandable that Ye Chen would not forgive him easily.

Moreover, Ye Chen was a major general!

“Mr. Ye, can 1 ask my father to come and apologize to you personally?”

However, Ye Chen had already disappeared around the corner. It simply was not worth his time.

Ye Chen soon arrived at the principal’s office on the eighth floor of the administrative building.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He frowned and turned to leave, but suddenly heard a woman’s voice and rustling sounds coming from inside.

Not long after, the door opened. A woman in her thirties walked out. Her hair was a little messy and her face was slightly red. She glanced at Ye Chen, lowered her head, and left with her lesson plan.

“Come in.”

Then, a powerful and dignified voice rang out. There was even some displeasure in this person’s tone.

Ye Chen walked into the house and immediately spotted a chubby, bald middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, who was obviously the principal.

“Which department are you from…”

The voice suddenly trailed off. The principal, who had an impatient look on his face, stood up and took the initiative to approach Ye Chen. He stretched out his hand and said excitedly, “You should be A4r. Ye. Dragon Soul has already told me everything. It’s really our university’s honor to have you as a professor.”

Ye Chen did not take the man’s outstretched hand and handed over the file in his hand.

Who knew where this guy’s hands had been.

“These are my documents.”

The principal smiled awkwardly and took the documents. Then, he explained, “Mr. Ye, although today is the first day classes have resumed, everything is ready. Wait for me for a moment, I’ll go get something.”

Not long after, the principal took out a thick document and carefully handed it to Ye Chen. He said,”Mr. Ye, it has everything you want, including the resources the university can provide you, salary details, meal cards, benefits, class schedules, and the blueprint of the university.”

“I still have to go to class?” Ye Chen frowned.

He would only be here for a few days, so he did not want to waste his time teaching students. Even as Dragon Soul’s Chief Instructor, he hardly taught the soldiers, let alone university students.

“Mr. Ye, please don’t misunderstand. Because of your special status, you only need to attend a random class. This will be enough for the university and the Education Bureau’s records…”

“Got it.”

Ye Chen nodded and accepted the document. He then bade farewell to the principal and headed outside. He made his way to the top floor of a teaching building and opened the blueprint in his hand as he looked down on the campus from above.

Suddenly, he noticed something and his pupils shrank.

“It’s no wonder 1 couldn’t find anything. The layout of this school is actually the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation!”

The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation was a mysterious formation which could only be detected from a certain angle. When he looked at the blueprint, and compared it with the structures around the campus, he realized that they were all part of the formation.

From the fountain, the huge stone at the entrance, to the field, to the ring-shaped artificial lake…

All of it!

He finally understood why the entrance of Ghost Prison would open here.

However, there was another extremely important thing, and that was that the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation was a forbidden formation!

Activating it would require a large amount of energy, which in this case would be the Yang energy of the university’s students!

Whoever designed this obviously planned to sacrifice the health of the students to power the opening of the entrance. Furthermore, it would also affect the students’ fate energy.

How vicious was this!

At that time, all of the students of this university would definitely suffer misfortune, and they would become weakened. It would likely take at least a whole year for them to recover.

Furthermore, in serious cases, the overdrawn Yang energy might result in death!

Ye Chen looked down at everything and fell into a state of deep thought.

He was not some savior, and the lives of these people had nothing to do with him. However, this formation was cruel, and whoever set it up was as well.

Ye Chen thought for a few seconds and decided to deal with it.

If this formation was not destroyed, his parents in the Ghost Prison would have to pay a huge price. Once it was activated, the prisoners’ energy would likely be absorbed as well.

Since his parents were not cultivators or martial artists, they would have to endure extreme pain.. Furthermore, if he destroyed this formation, someone important from the Ghost Prison would likely show up!
