When Nian Yue saw his disgusted face, she scoffed lightly and chuckled.

“What are you laughing at?” Chen Yiran was angered.

“Has anyone ever told you that narcissism is a disease that needs to be treated!” Nian Yue sneered, her eyes showing some impatience. “Move aside!”

She did not have the spare time to play games with this bunch of brats.

“D*mn! This new transfer student is too arrogant! How dare she speak to Young Master Chen in such a tone!”

“Maybe she’s playing hard to get! Didn’t you see that Lin Nan was looking for her at the field just now?!”

…

The surrounding students whispered.

All of them looked like they were waiting for a good show. None of them came over to help.

While the new transfer student had no one to rely on, she had entered Class A as soon as she arrived, a class that ordinary people could not enter even if they spent money.

Chen Yiran did not expect Nian Yue to embarrass him. His expression darkened. He walked to Nian Yue’s side and lowered his voice. “Nian Yue, don’t be so shameless!”

He was giving her due respect by taking the initiative to speak to her!

“Get lost.”

The indifferent girl opened her thin lips and her voice was filled with impatience.

She seriously doubted the Host’s taste. How did she fall for such a narcissistic good-for-nothing?

“Nian Yue! Who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?” Chen Yiran’s face turned pale from anger. Seeing that she was about to leave, he subconsciously reached out to grab her!

However, he had clearly aimed at her arm. Just as he was about to grab it, he missed!

Then, Nian Yue turned and grabbed his wrist. With a push of her hand, there was a loud crack!

It was the sound of bones breaking!

The girl had snapped Chen Yiran’s wrist with one move!

The students who had been discussing fervently earlier all held their breaths when they heard the sound.

The air was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Chen Yiran’s face was pale. His wrist hurt like hell, but he felt like something was stuck in his throat. It was unbearable!

“Next time, if you touch places you shouldn’t, you will no longer have the use of this hand.” Nian Yue’s lips curled up into a cold smile. When she said this, it made the surrounding students shudder in unison.

At this moment, everyone believed that she was not joking.

She would definitely do it!

With one hand in her pocket, the aloof girl could not be bothered to waste any more time and walked out of the school gate.

She had more important things to do today.

After Nian Yue left the gate, she called for a taxi. Her destination was Black Mountain.

Last night, she sensed energy waves in this place. When she woke up this morning, the energy waves were gone.

But just now, she clearly felt that energy again.

It was a familiar feeling.

Nian Yue narrowed her eyes. The closer they were to their destination, the more she could feel that powerful magnetic field.

Even her cells could not help but stir.

When they were two kilometers away from their destination, the taxi driver stopped and said, “Young lady, the black mountain is under martial law. We can’t enter from here.”

“Thank you very much.” Nian Yue got out of the car and took out a hundred dollars from her pocket and handed it to the taxi driver.

Then, she walked forward.

Black Mountain was a famous tourist attraction in Jiang City. It was filled with tourists every year.

However, due to the earthquake last month, the entire Black Mountain was under martial law. No visitors were allowed and Black Mountain was completely sealed.

It was already night time and there were only a few staff members chatting in the outer perimeter.

Nian Yue stretched her muscles and realized that the supernatural power in her body had returned quite a bit.

As expected, the closer she was to nature, the faster her power recovered.

Although her lightning power was useless, her wood power could help her a lot.

At the thought of this, Nian Yue’s lips twitched. With a light tap of her foot, she disappeared from the spot.

A few staff members who were in the middle of a conversation noticed the fluctuations in the air. Someone stopped and asked curiously, “Did you guys feel a gust of wind blowing from behind?”

The staff member who was with him sneered. “The weather is so hot, where is the wind? Are you hallucinating from the heat?”

The staff smiled sheepishly. “Maybe I’m overthinking.”

In the forest within, a black figure was moving quickly.

It was Nian Yue.

She was extremely fast. She could clearly feel that she was running so fast that she was about to hit the tree, but she could see that she had already reached the back of the tree in the blink of an eye.

If anyone were present, they would definitely be shocked beyond words by the scene before them.

It was because this young girl really passed through the tree!

After dashing for about five minutes, Nian Yue finally stopped at a lake.

The lake was several hundred meters wide. It had clearly just experienced an earthquake, and many trees had been uprooted.

However, the lake was still so clear that one could see the bottom of it. There were no signs of an earthquake in the water at all.

Nian Yue narrowed her eyes and raised her hand slightly. There was a faint layer of blue light on the calm surface of the lake.

Under the moonlight, the lake was breathtakingly beautiful!

The corners of Nian Yue’s lips curled up happily. She felt pretty good. There was indeed an Energy Stone here!

In the post-apocalyptic world, natural resources were depleted. Human beings could no longer survive by relying on natural resources. Thus, Energy Stones were developed.

Energy Stones were a non-renewable resource hidden underground. The energy from one Energy Stone could allow humans on Earth to live for twenty years!

Therefore, these things had always been the targets of battles!

However, it was only the 21st century now, so the Energy Stones should not have materialized yet.

The reason the Energy Stone appeared here was probably because of the explosion back then. This Energy Stone had come along with her to protect her.

At the thought of this, Nian Yue took off her school jacket and jumped in.

The huge lake looked so clear that one could see the bottom. However, Nian Yue had just jumped into it when she felt that the lake water was boiling hot as if it was about to burn off a layer of her skin!

The force of the Energy Stone was too strong. It had probably been in the water for some time. The lake water was unable to withstand the energy emitted from its body. The energy emitted downwards was so strong that it changed the structure of the soil and caused a small earthquake.

If she was a tad later, it would not have been a simple earthquake.

Nian Yue frowned and held her breath as she plunged in.

Bright Moon Lake was part of Jiang City’s natural landscape. It had been more than two thousand years since it was formed.

Therefore, the water inside was also more than ten meters deep.

The further down Nian Yue went, the darker it became.

In the end, it was pitch black inside.
