In life, one could at most live for thirty-six days.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Only five days left before the graduation assessnt of the Supernatural Alliance Academy.
And just four days left before New Year's Eve.
The most important city of human civilization—Jing City, gradually beca different.
Firstly, the population in the Transcendent District increased.
Those E and D level ability users who spent their years fighting and completing missions outside had returned.
All of them had tense spirits and eyes filled with killing intent.
Passing by them, one could even sll the pungent scent of blood on their bodies.
Secondly, there were more and more "foreign species" to be seen.
All kinds of "strange shapes and bizarre forms."
The most outrageous one Chen Yu had seen was a kind of "mushroom person" who wore no clothes and had tube-like structures that closely resembled "reproductive organs," wobbling about. They moved by ans of countless tentacles packed densely on their lower half.
Clearly, they were all participants invited to join this graduation assessnt.
Last of all were the lanterns and banners hung in every street and alley.
They were inscribed with various slogans.
For example: Humanity shall prevail; usher in the New Year with a fresh outlook; Jing City's gates are always open, welcoming you with open arms; wishing for a long-lasting friendship between humanity and the Ka Xiu.
And so on and so forth…
From ti to ti, one could also hear the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.
The festive atmosphere was quite intense.
Taking this opportunity, Mr. Chen Yu also searched for so information about "foreign species," but never quite made any significant discovery.
The higher-ups in the Alliance clearly controlled the related intelligence on purpose.
They only let the common people and the lower-class Transcendents know of the existence of "foreign species."
As for how many "foreign species" there were, what their nas all were, what their relationship was with human civilization, which were allies and which were enemies… all that information was sealed away.
Therefore, Chen Yu specially went to ask his female tutor.
She too knew very little, only reminding Mr. Chen Yu to be careful with "foreign species" during the assessnt and not to compete with them.
Especially in the face of the "Ka Xiu clan," one should stay as far away as possible.
Of course, Mr. Chen Yu could also choose to ask the Princess, which would certainly yield so results.
But the faint pain in his lower back reminded him: curiosity might not kill a cat, but it would certainly kill the kidneys…
Today, the sunlight was splendid.
Today, the weather turned from cloudy to clear.
Today, Mr. Chen Yu sat alone in the courtyard, sipping tea while quietly waiting.
"My lord," at exactly 12 p.m., the housekeeper hurried over and bowed to report, "Soone is looking for you."
"Alright,"
Mr. Chen Yu put down his teacup and stood up. Guided by the housekeeper, he walked towards the back door of the mansion.
He saw an elderly man dressed simply, patiently waiting outside the door with a parcel in his hands.
"Mr. Chen Yu," upon seeing Mr. Chen Yu, the elderly man's tone was steady as he imdiately handed over the parcel, "This is sothing the Family Head asked to deliver to you."
"Very punctual," Mr. Chen Yu took the parcel, "Send him my thanks."
"I will. Now this old servant will take his leave," the elderly man bowed and without any hesitation, turned and left.
Mr. Chen Yu, holding the parcel, went straight to the third floor of the villa and pushed open the door to Chen's bedroom.
"…"
"Bang."
He took a half-step back and closed the door again.
It seed he had opened the door incorrectly, for he had seen his sister wielding a hacksaw, sawing at her own incisors.
The scene that t his eyes was both "ferocious" and "eerie."
After a mont of silence, Mr. Chen Yu tentatively pushed the door open again.
He saw that the hacksaw in Chen's hand had been switched for a chainsaw…
"Brother, help !" Chen, with her left hand gripping her own ter-and-a-half-long incisors and her right hand clutching the rapidly spinning chainsaw, was nearly in tears, "I can't remove the tooth!"
Mr. Chen Yu: "..."
Closing the door, Mr. Chen Yu walked to the bed and pressed down on the chainsaw in Chen's hand, his tone serious, "Fairy, you need to calm down."
"It's growing faster and faster," Chen's eyes were brimming with tears, "Yesterday it was only up to my chest, today it's reached my thigh. And it's getting harder, I can't saw it off anymore."
"Don't panic, let take a look," Mr. Chen Yu reached out, gently stroking Chen's incisors while observing them closely.
Soon, a look of shock crossed his face as if sothing had caught his attention, "These incisors…"
"What about them?" Chen held her breath.
"They're of outstanding quality!" Mr. Chen Yu exclaid.
Chen: "..."
"Don't use the chainsaw, it might hurt yourself," disconnecting Chen's chainsaw, Mr. Chen Yu pondered, "An angle grinder would be more effective, just wait a mont," he said, then turned and went downstairs.
Shortly after, he returned with a brand-new angle grinder in hand, flipping on the machine's switch.
"Buzz—"
The grinding wheel imdiately began to spin.
"I'm about to start cutting, don't move, understand?"
"Mhm."
"Zzzt Zzzt Zzzt—"
The next mont, sparks flew everywhere!
The two incisors were neatly cut off.
Turning off the angle grinder and tossing the incisors onto the bed, Mr. Chen Yu snapped his fingers, "OK. Solved."
Chen opened her mouth, felt her incisors now back to normal length, and her mood suddenly fell, "…Brother, I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a monster."
"What are you talking about," Mr. Chen Yu frowned.
Chen: "But I..."
"You're already a monster," Mr. Chen Yu added.
Chen: "…Brother, please leave alone to be quiet."
"Can I take these incisors with ?" Mr. Chen Yu asked.
Chen: "..."
"Oh right!" Mr. Chen Yu suddenly slapped his forehead, turned around to grab the parcel, and quickly unpacked it, "I almost forgot, I ca here to bring you this."
"What is this?" Chen craned her neck to see, finding a familiar cylindrical object inside the box; at that mont, the feelings of grievance, despair, and rage in her heart erupted at once, "Chen Yu! What's the aning of this?!"
