The morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, spilling into the dormitory. Nezha had long been awake, sitting on the edge of his bed, lost in thought. The confrontation with Shen Gongbao the previous night had left him restless. Those words echoed in his mind like a spell—the secrets of the Demon Orb, the threat of the Li Yang Sect, the resurrection of Lady Shiji... and Shen Gongbao's cryptic warning before he left.
"The real secret is far more astonishing than you can imagine..."
Nezha looked down at his hands, gently clenching and unclenching his fists. In a moment of crisis last night, he had unleashed a flame energy more powerful than ever before, a force that even surprised him. Shen Gongbao might be a fraud, but one thing he hadn’t lied about was that the power of the Demon Orb indeed exceeded imagination, and Nezha had only scratched the surface.
His phone vibrated, breaking his reverie. It was a message from Aunt Taiyi: "Meet at the training room on the back mountain at three this afternoon. Bring the Mo Wan Zhen Jie."
The brief message conveyed a sense of urgency. After confirming his attendance, Nezha decided to attend class first, trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy in his life. Although everything had become complicated and dangerous, he couldn't let this turmoil consume all aspects of his existence.
In the classroom, his classmates continued to regard him with those complex gazes—curiosity, fear, rejection, and occasionally kindness. Nezha had grown accustomed to such looks, but today he felt something different.
"Why do I have to keep hiding? Why should I view my innate abilities as a curse?"
This thought sprouted quietly in his heart like a seed. Perhaps, as Shen Gongbao had said (despite his impure motives), the power of the Demon Sphere itself was not evil; it depended on how the user wielded it. If he could master this power for protection rather than destruction, perhaps he could change people's perceptions and safeguard Ao Bing and the Dragon Tribe, even thwarting the schemes of the Li Yang Sect.
During the break between classes, Nezha sat alone in the back row of the classroom, flipping through Mo Wan Zhen Jie. This mysterious ancient text contained much information about the Demon Orb, but most of it was obscure and required careful contemplation.
Suddenly, a figure blocked out the light. Nezha looked up to see Captain Li Zhao Lei standing before him with a concerned expression.
"Hey, Nezha," Zhao Lei whispered, "How have you been lately? Last night someone said they saw strange lights and heard fighting sounds on the back mountain; your name came up..."
Nezha's heart tightened; he hadn't expected anyone to notice what had happened last night. But he quickly composed himself and forced a smile. "It's nothing; maybe someone was practicing fireworks."
Zhao Lei clearly didn't believe that explanation but didn't press further. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Listen, buddy, I don't care what secrets you have. Just... if you need help, don't forget you have teammates. We might not be able to do much, but at least we can face it together."
These simple words warmed Nezha's heart. In this seemingly hostile campus environment, there were still those willing to stand by his side.
"Thank you," Nezha said sincerely. "That means a lot to me."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Nezha arrived punctually at the training room on the back mountain. It was a secluded little stone house that appeared shabby from the outside but was filled with various cultivation tools and talisman arrays inside. Aunt Taiyi had been waiting for some time and wore a serious expression.
"The events from last night have already alarmed the school administration," Aunt Taiyi stated directly. "The principal personally came to inquire about it; I could only say it was an ability assessment test. But I fear we won't be able to keep this under wraps for long; the Li Yang Sect may have infiltrated our campus."
Nezha nodded and placed Mo Wan Zhen Jie on the table. "I read more today and found that it mentions three realms of Demon Sphere Power—Initial Understanding, Xin Yu, and Divine Ability. Right now, I haven't even fully grasped Initial Understanding."
"That's right," Aunt Taiyi said approvingly as she glanced at him. "You found this book just in time. The Demon Sphere Power is indeed unfathomable but not uncontrollable. The key lies in the holder's character and cultivation method."
"Taiyi Senior," Nezha looked directly into Aunt Taiyi's eyes with determination in his voice. "I've made my decision; I will no longer evade my identity and power. I want to actively learn to control Demon Sphere Power to protect Ao Bing and confront the Li Yang Sect."
