After receiving a warning glance from Fu Hua, Kiana dared not let her mind wander any further. She immediately straightened her posture, fixed her gaze ahead, and began to focus on her training.
Seeing Kiana finally apply herself, Fu Hua shifted her attention away. She turned her head to gaze into the distance, and as she reflected on her own cursed luck, she couldn't help but feel a wave of despair wash over her. Then, with a mix of envy and resentment, she shot another glance at Kiana, the blessed one with innate divine fortune.
Kiana, who noticed Fu Hua looking at her again:
'???'
'What now? Why is the class monitor staring at me again? I'm not slacking off this time!'
Just as Kiana was utterly baffled, Fu Hua suddenly sensed activity in the chat group. She reopened it and discovered a private message from Wu Tong. Her pupils contracted—finally, a message had arrived.
Fu Hua had been waiting for Wu Tong's message all this time. As someone who could potentially aid them in their fight against the Honkai in the future, she didn't want to neglect him. The moment she received his message, she promptly replied:
Vermilion Bird Sage: I'll be free tomorrow. When do you plan to arrive, Mr. Wu Tong? We'll make the necessary preparations.
Seeker of Truth: Around noon, perhaps slightly later.
Vermilion Bird Sage: Understood. We'll await your arrival tomorrow at noon.
Seeker of Truth: No need to prepare…
Fu Hua didn't catch Wu Tong's subsequent words. At this moment, the news that Wu Tong would be arriving in her world tomorrow filled her with excitement.
Soon, they would find out whether the power of the Douluo World could be of use against the Honkai. Even if it proved ineffective, building a good relationship with Wu Tong was crucial. Not only did she hope to obtain Revival Coins from him, but she also believed that his assistance might be indispensable in overcoming the Honkai.
After reading the novel and gaining a deeper understanding of "transmigrators" and "cheat-users," Fu Hua couldn't help but think this way.
With hurried steps, she left the training ground and rushed toward the principal's office, leaving the three youngsters behind, staring at her retreating figure in confusion.
After exchanging glances, they were left utterly bewildered.
What's up with the class monitor today?
…
A few minutes later, Fu Hua arrived at the door of the principal's office, having sped there at full pace.
Bang—
The door, locked from the inside, was forcefully flung open by an overexcited Fu Hua.
???
!!!
At that moment, Theresa, who had been secretly reading a Houkai manga inside, was startled by the sudden intrusion. Realizing someone was about to enter, she reacted instantly, gripping the manga tightly in her hands.
Ultimate Technique of Maintaining the Principal's Dignity: Ten-Thousandfold Destruction!
With movements so fast they were nearly invisible, the Houkai manga in her hands was shredded into quark-level particles. She then quickly smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and sat up straight, fixing her gaze on the doorway.
The moment Fu Hua entered, she saw a perfectly composed Theresa staring at the door. Having learned about Theresa's true nature from the story, Fu Hua immediately realized what she had been doing. However, she chose not to expose her—this trivial matter wasn't important right now.
Without delay, Fu Hua informed Theresa about Wu Tong's impending visit. Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately grew serious, and the two began discussing how to welcome him properly.

Schicksal Headquarters
"Heh, my old friend, I must thank you for sharing this good news. So, he's arriving tomorrow, is he?"
"In that case, I'll have to prepare a proper welcome ceremony…"
A faint smile played on Otto's lips as he watched the screen.
"Amber, make the necessary arrangements. Tomorrow, I'll be visiting the Far East Branch with Durandal and the others."
Secretary Amber, standing nearby, showed no surprise at Otto's words and calmly carried out his orders.

Hidden beneath his cloak, Gray Serpent silently reviewed the information leaked by the mole in the Far East. After a long pause, he wordlessly departed, heading straight for Raven's tavern…

"Hey, Einstein, did you hear? Someone from that so-called Dimensional Chat Group is coming tomorrow."
Tesla, the Lobster Doctor, turned to Einstein beside her.
"I heard. What, are you planning to go, Dr. Tesla?" Einstein replied, eyeing the noisy Tesla.
"I'd love to, but I'm swamped right now. Let Welt handle it."
"Damn that ****** Cocolia! She had to stir up such a mess, and now I'm stuck cleaning up her ****** mess!"
"And that ******* Otto—"
…
In an instant, the winds of change began to blow.
Undercurrents surged across the Honkai world as every faction aware of Wu Tong's arrival began to mobilize.
Had Wu Tong witnessed this scene, he might have sighed and remarked:
"As expected of the St. Freya Information Exchange Platform—utterly predictable."
—
Leaving aside the turmoil brewing in the Honkai world, Wu Tong, seeing that Fu Hua had not replied for a long time, deduced that she must have missed his last message and was likely already making preparations.
Sigh…
Wu Tong exhaled helplessly. "Time to sleep."
After spending some time chatting in the group and making the necessary arrangements in advance, Wu Tong felt a rare wave of fatigue wash over him.
Before long, deep exhaustion pulled him into the realm of dreams.
The night passed without incident…

The Next Day
The golden rooster crowed, and the morning sun hung high in the sky.
At dawn, a thin mist enveloped the entire Sunset Gorge.
Golden sunlight spilled downward, refracting through the sparse moisture in the air and scattering into a spectrum of colors across the mist.
The rainbow hues shone upon the nearly translucent leaves of the Jade Ridge Maple, casting a dreamlike, multicolored glow that filled the scene with an ethereal beauty.
The vibrant colors above and the white mist below seemed mismatched, yet they created a unique aesthetic—as if the words "enchanted forest" and "celestial mist" had merged, rendering the gorge even more mystifying.
This sight was witnessed by the maids who had risen early, and they couldn't help but let out delighted, bell-like exclamations of admiration.
Once their excitement subsided, the women returned to their duties. After completing their tasks, they began patrolling the academy, all the while savoring the fairy-tale-like splendor of their surroundings.
Wu Tong, still deep in slumber, remained oblivious to all of this.
By the time he awoke, the sun was already high in the sky.
His morning routine unfolded as usual: dressing, washing up, breakfast…
Truth be told, given Wu Tong's current strength, he no longer needed food or sleep to sustain himself.
But Wu Tong had no intention of changing his habits. After all, he had no desire to become an aloof, otherworldly immortal—being a down-to-earth mortal was his dream.
And for a mortal, wasn't eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping in all the more natural?
By the time everything was settled, it was already nearing noon.
Wu Tong glanced at the sky, estimating the time, then gathered the women to relay his plans.
"Xiao Yun, I'll be leaving for a while and should return in about seven days. During that time, you'll be in charge of managing the academy."
Addressing Nan Gong Yun, who stood at the forefront of the group, Wu Tong issued his instructions.
