Chapter 610: Chapter 394: The Black Talisman Sealing Dorm 506! (Part 2)

The golden glow was not piercing, yet it carried a power that could penetrate everything, making him seem like a celestial being upon the mortal realm.

For Lu Xuan, this pitch-black darkness mattered little compared to the brightness of day.

Every step of the stairs, every speck of dust at the corners, was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Lu Xuan’s steps remained steady, walking step by step on the dust-covered stairs, each footfall light enough to be silent.

From the first floor to the third, only the faint sound of wind in the old stairwell accompanied him, until the last step to the fourth floor, where familiar iron chains reappeared in view.

They remained heavy, tightly locking the entrance to the fourth floor, mirroring the sight of the iron door on the first floor.

Without hesitation, just a light clang was heard, and the iron chains broke again, falling heavily to the ground, scattering tiny dust.

Then, Lu Xuan walked as if in an uninhabited realm, seamlessly through the fourth floor, straight to the fifth-floor stairway entrance.

Heading upward, there were no unusual sounds or sudden obstacles.

The air was filled only with the scent of old dust, calm to the point of making the rumored Building D seem like an ordinary deserted building.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, stepping lightly on the tiles of the fifth-floor corridor, the cold tiles reflecting the streetlight’s glow.

On either side of the corridor were scattered piles of discarded desks and chairs, covered with thick dust; some table legs were broken, and webs covered the chair seats, showing clearly it had been untouched for ages.

After a few steps forward, Lu Xuan reached the corridor’s railing, where he could clearly see Lu Yuliang and the others on the open ground below.

And down below, Lu Yuliang and the others happened to glance up and saw Lu Xuan in the fifth-floor corridor.

The high-ranking officials of Yingnan University instinctively held their breath, their eyes filled with shock that soon turned into genuine admiration.

The father of this old leader was not only aged but far braver than ordinary people.

If it were them, not even given ten times the courage, they would dare venture alone into Building D at such a late hour and ascend step by step to this eerie fifth floor.

Lu Xuan merely glanced in the direction downstairs, his gaze lingering on Lu Yuliang for a brief moment before retracting his sight, turning and retreating a couple of steps, then heading toward dormitory 506.

His pace remained steady, without a trace of hesitation.

In the entire fifth-floor corridor, the area before dormitory 506 was the most spacious and clean, with no discarded desks or chairs, and even the dust was thicker than elsewhere.

This unusual scene just exposed the extraordinary.

Even the campus security responsible for patrolling might not dare to easily approach this area, hence keeping it deliberately spacious.

Stopping at the dormitory 506 entrance, Lu Xuan halted his steps.

Here, unlike other dormitories on the fifth floor, thick wooden boards were nailed onto the door, with nails embedded deeply into the wood.

Even the windows were tightly sealed with the same wooden boards, seemingly to completely isolate everything inside, with no light allowed through.

At the same time, the eerie atmosphere in the air grew thicker, several times heavier than on the first floor, lingering around with a hint of biting cold.

But for Lu Xuan, this degree of eerie atmospherics was like a breeze, not causing harm, nor qualifying to make him frown; it may influence ordinary people somewhat, but is negligible to him.

"Hmph!"

Lu Xuan snorted lightly from his nose, the sound not loud but carrying an icy edge that pierced the stillness around.

Almost as the snort fell, an invisible shockwave swiftly swept across, rustling the dust accumulated in the corridor.

Looking at his right hand, unknowingly clenched into a fist, faint golden Qi Force gently exuded from the fist’s edge.

The golden Qi Force was clearly visible, like a flowing light band, shining bright in the dim corridor.

This kind of scene exceeded the limits of ordinary people’s understanding.

However, this was the Elixir Power of an Embracing Elixir Master, a power reportedly controllable only by such masters.

It was no longer simple brute force; it was the perfect fusion of physical strength and spiritual power beyond the human physiological limits.

This spiritual force could be seen as the embodiment of Martial Arts Will, a mysterious power capable of influencing reality and interfering with materials directly.

Lu Xuan’s fist landed heavily on the wooden-barred dormitory door, yet instead of the expected deafening boom, a sound like crystal breaking on porcelain rang lightly.

Behind the light impact lay his right fist’s terrifying force that couldn’t be resisted.

The power showed no leakage but seamlessly penetrated every corner of the door like water, precisely destroying all key supports from the wooden slits to the door frame joints.

The next second, a "creak—scritch—" sound of cracks rang continuously; first saw dense lines appear on the wooden boards.

Then the lines spread rapidly, the entire door along with the outside seal board shattered, wood chips fluttering down like snowflakes, exposing the empty dormitory space inside.

Howling——

A gust of wind abruptly swept out from the broken door, carrying an icy chill, blowing straight toward Lu Xuan at the entrance.

His gray hair fluttered backward in the wind, his garment slightly lifted, yet his steps remained unmoved, just narrowing his eyes at the room inside.

The wind came fast and disappeared even faster, vanishing in an instant, leaving only scattered wood chips and a serene room interior, as if the gust earlier had been an illusion.

Lu Xuan stepped into dormitory 506, its scenes gradually coming clear.

Four bunk beds neatly aligned by the wall, the white mosquito nets still fastened atop the bed frames, yellowed and brittle, covered in dust.

Only the thickly woven spider webs draped from the bed head to the wall corner and from ceiling to bed edge silently told of its years-old abandonment, long enough that sunlight seldom reached inside.

Without sparing these chaotic sights a glance, Lu Xuan’s unique perceptions of an Embracing Elixir Master instantly enveloped every inch of the room like an invisible net.

In just a few seconds, Lu Xuan’s eyes settled, pinpointing behind the cabinets of three bunk beds.

Without hesitation, he was already certain.

The increasingly thick eerie aura was inevitably emanating from these three places, each concealing extraordinary presence.

Lu Xuan silently lifted his right hand, firmly grasping the bed leg on the right-side bunk.

With what seemed like just a light tug, the hundred-pound wooden bed lifted as if it were featherweight, smoothly shifted aside, revealing the wall initially hidden behind.

On the wall, a yellowed black talisman paper was plainly exposed, its edges slightly curled, its surface imprinted with unclear dark red lines.

Uncertain if it was paint or something else, it adhered tightly to the wall, exuding a barely perceptible cold aura.

"Hmm? Again with the magician’s tricks?"

Lu Xuan’s brows raised slightly upon seeing the talisman, a flicker of understanding in his eyes.

Without pause, he repeated the procedure, smoothly shifting another two bunk beds aside.

Sure enough, behind each bed was an identical yellowed black talisman paper, three forming a triangle, faintly encircling the dormitory’s central space.

Were these talismans sealing dormitory 506?

A thought flitted across Lu Xuan’s mind, eyes glinting with interest—their ability to suppress evil was indeed wondrous.

Yet, his hands didn’t stop, fingers scratching the newly shifted bed legs, easily peeling off three sharp-edged wooden pieces.

Next moment, the wooden pieces shot from his palm like bullets, slicing the air with a slight sharp sound, precisely striking the three talisman papers on the wall.

Only a few "rips" were heard, talisman papers along with the hard cement wall behind being ripped apart.

The fragmented talisman pieces fluttered down, the atmosphere instantly restless, no longer tightly suppressed as before.
