Ten minutes later, everything calmed down.

  Fly stood on the remains of the old Roach Matriarch, looking at the new Roach Matriarch.

  "Since you can use Witchcraft, I'll call you The Roach Wizard from now on." Fly nodded with satisfaction and gave the new Roach Matriarch a name.

  After fusing with The Phantom Hivequeen, the power possessed by his Beast Totem had become increasingly formidable.

  It could suppress enemies at close range with Black Sickles or Steelbone Blades, and it could also use the Staff to initiate long-range attacks.

  Especially those poison stingers attached with the corrosive effect of Acid Blood—they could definitely reverse the tide of battle at a critical moment.

  Looking at the source of his Beast Totem, Fly couldn't wait to participate in The Jade State League.

  "Speaking of which, when does The Jade State League start?" Fly looked at Dean Sterling, who had just walked over, and asked, unable to suppress his excitement.

  "It should be after the midterm exams," Dean Sterling said, pushing up his glasses.

  He had just emerged from a state of extreme tension, so his gestures were not yet that natural. Originally, he had prepared for the worst, but now it seemed that although this place was a mess, Fly had at least broken through to Level 3 without any real mishap. This result was still good, after all.

  "Midterm exams?" Fly froze for a moment. If Dean Sterling hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about that.

  "Yes," Dean Sterling nodded. "But the midterm exams shouldn't be difficult for you. With your current strength, maintaining the ranking of number one in the grade is basically no problem."

  "Work hard and strive to accumulate more Merit Points. The Merit Point rewards for the school's midterm exams are still quite generous."

  Dean Sterling smiled. In a key high school like Star City High, if one could enter the top ten of the grade, not only could they obtain Merit Point rewards, but they could also get a scholarship.

  If Fly really led Star City High to achieve good results in The Jade State League, then the accumulation of these Merit Points alone would allow Fly to complete a trial of The Threefold Path of Tempering in the first semester of Grade 10, taking his strength to a higher level.

  One had to know...

  Up to now, no one had ever been able to get so many accumulated Merit Points in the first semester of Grade 10.

  Even with the secret operations of the Student Council, those so-called geniuses in the past could at most barely complete one trial of The Threefold Path of Tempering in the second semester of Grade 10.

  "Okay, Vic, I will work hard." Fly nodded, indicating that he would definitely prepare seriously for the upcoming midterm exams and The Jade State League.

  "Mn, Fly, the future of Star City High is bet on you." Dean Sterling patted Fly on the shoulder and said.

  Just then, the cave, which had not been calm for long, began to pulse again.

  Dean Sterling: "What's the situation!?"

  Fly turned his head to look at the cave full of cockroach egg cases.

  "It looks like... they are about to be born too..."

  ...

  Star City High, inside Fly's dorm room.

  Lance Wolfe was pacing back and forth, turning his head to look at Fly from time to time, unable to make up his mind to act.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  Suddenly, hearing a whoosh, a white light flashed. Fly and Dean Sterling woke up instantly. In a flash, centering on them, countless pale white, newborn cockroaches surged out continuously, filling the dorm room in an instant.

  The swarm of cockroaches was like a wave of water, carrying Lance Wolfe as it rushed left and right in the dorm room. Even the door couldn't withstand it; with a crash, it was burst open, and the "cockroach wave" and Lance Wolfe surged onto the corridor together.

  "Wha... what is this!" Looking at the giant cockroaches crawling all over the place, Lance Wolfe roared in despair.

  "Heh heh, I'm not too skilled yet," Fly slowly parted a path through the cockroach swarm with both hands and walked onto the corridor. "When I came back from the Inner Realm, I brought them out along with me."

  Lance Wolfe: "..."

  "Heavens! You freak!"

  ...

  Near evening, inside Preston York's dorm.

  After returning from Fly's place, Lance Wolfe did not go back to cultivate or rest. Instead, he ran hurriedly to the dorm of Student Council President Preston York at the first opportunity.

  As the nominally strongest student currently in Star City High, Preston York's dorm was directly a villa that cost a fortune to build.

  Just the renovation cost of the living room alone was nearly one hundred thousand.

  "How did things go?" Preston York was not surprised by Lance Wolfe's visit. He invited Lance in and "warmly" brewed a pot of tea.

  "This..." Lance shook his head with an awkward expression.

  After all, he had not accomplished the core task of this operation—persuading Fly to join the Student Council.

  "However..."

  "Fly accepted our cash gift."

  Worried that Preston York would blame him for handling things poorly, Lance simply talked directly about Fly accepting the money.

  "Oh?" After hearing these words, Preston York's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

  That Fly accepted the Student Council's cash gift indicated, more or less, that there was room for negotiation between the two sides in the future. Moreover, as the saying goes, "To take a gift is to owe a favor." Since Fly accepted the money, he more or less owed the Student Council a debt of gratitude.

  From this point of view, even if Fly didn't join the Student Council directly, his heart must have wavered.

  "Tell me in detail." As Preston York spoke, he lifted the teapot. "This is tea distributed by Senior Lysander Thorne. You should taste it too."

  Lance hurriedly lifted his teacup to receive the tea with both hands. The scalding heat of the tea transmitted to his hands through the cup, but under the pressure of Preston York's face, he bit the bullet and endured it.

  "President, there might really be something fishy about Fly's Beast Totem. Just like Skaar raising Spectral Wasps, he has also raised hundreds of Spectral Roaches."

  As soon as this was said, Preston York's expression froze instantly.

  His pupils vibrated slightly. He waved his finger, signaling Lance to continue.

  Lance immediately told Preston York everything he had seen and heard in Fly's dorm room just now.

  The more Lance spoke, the uglier Preston York's face became.

  Obtained the power of Skaar's Phantom Hivequeen?

  Raised hundreds of Spectral Roaches?

  Could this Fly's Beast Totem really mutate and evolve continuously?

  He had personally investigated Fly's background.

  Both parents were ordinary employees, and the family was under the pressure of mortgage and car loans.

  There were no relatives with prominent status to support him; it was purely a painfully ordinary family.

  How could he have stumbled upon such a bizarre stroke of luck?

  You've got to be kidding me?

  It is extremely rare for a Beast Totem to undergo mutation for a Beast Warrior, and evolutionary mutation is even rarer.

  But this Fly's Beast Totem could actually continuously absorb the power of other people's totems, thereby constantly mutating and evolving?

  If this continued to develop, Fly's strength would be quite terrifying!

  "That's right." Lance nodded. "I guarantee with my position as the Vice-President of the Student Council that everything I said is true."

  "President, you should remember the appearance of Skaar's Beast Totem—The Phantom Hivequeen—in the Freshman Invitational, right?"

  "Mn." Preston York responded softly.

  "I saw the shadow of The Phantom Hivequeen on Fly's Spectral Roaches."

  "The end of the abdomen of every Spectral Roaches had a sharp stinger similar to the Spectral Wasps back then!"

  "There is such a thing?" Preston York's expression instantly became unsettled.

  Although there had been speculations in this regard before, they were ultimately just speculations. When this bizarre speculation was suddenly confirmed as reality, he still felt extremely shocked in his heart.

  "Did you record the scene at that time with your phone?" Preston York asked closely.

  In his opinion, this Fly was far more thorny than he had imagined.

  He should record Fly's relevant situation and send it to the seniors at Harford University to check and research.

  "This..." Lance smiled awkwardly. At that time, the dorm room and the corridor were full of milky-white giant Spectral Roaches everywhere. He was only concerned with being afraid; how could he have thought of recording?

  "Forget it." Preston York waved his hand and did not blame Lance harshly. He cupped his chin and thought seriously for a while.

  "At least the relationship with Fly has been improved this time. There will be plenty of opportunities to continue contacting him in the future."

  "Lance, your next mission is to make Fly a member of our Student Council at all costs!"

  Since this chapter is a bit short, I will be releasing a bonus chapter tomorrow at the same time.

  Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy reading!
