Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

(Sorry everyone, my old eyes must have been failing me yesterday. I accidentally uploaded the draft for the previous Chapter, so some things might not line up. I corrected it at 10 AM this morning. For those who read it before 10 AM, you can go back and reread the previous Chapter. If you don’t, it won’t affect the plot too much. I’m so sorry, I’m kowtowing in apology!)

...

BOOM... BANG!!!!

Before the staff member could even finish speaking, a massive explosion suddenly rang out. Everyone turned their heads in shock to look...

A testing board... had exploded.

The crowd, which had just been chattering, was instantly stunned silent.

What happened?

There were five testing boards in total. The one directly in front of Ye Xiao was currently resetting.

The three in the middle were perfectly fine.

But the one on the far left was now toppled on the ground, charred black... It was clearly broken beyond repair.

The corner of the staff member’s mouth twitched. He hurried over and prodded the testing board with a wooden stick... The next second, the entire board silently disintegrated into dust.

Everyone’s jaws... collectively hit the floor, including Ye Xiao’s.

’No way, what kind of Attack could do this to a testing board? This wasn’t just breaking it; this was annihilation!’

The staff member seemed dazed and muttered to himself,

”Impossible, right?”

”To blow up one of these testing boards, you’d need a Damage Value of over 12,000 at the very least! But even with more than 12,000, it’s impossible to destroy a board to this extent.”

’Wait a minute, forget what kind of Attack it was. Who did it?’

The crowd’s eyes scanned the area.

Right now, the only ones in the testing area were the staff, Ye Xiao and his Contracted Beast, and... a giant cockroach!

The Crimson Flame Frenzied Lion’s damage data was already out, so it couldn’t have been him.

Could it be?

Was it really the cockroach?

It seemed like the cockroach was the only possibility.

After a moment of shock, a staff member finally came to his senses and spoke to Chu Sheng.

”Excuse me... Sir Cockroach Demon Beast, was it you who attacked that testing board just now?”

As he asked, all eyes focused on Chu Sheng, awaiting an answer.

Chu Sheng glanced at the staff member, then nodded his cockroach head. ’I... probably don’t have to pay for that, right?’

...

「Three minutes earlier」

Back when Ye Xiao had first arrived, Chu Sheng was waiting for the test ahead of him to finish.

A mere Crimson Flame Frenzied Lion wanted him to step aside? Impossible. The Azure Flame Flying Lion, with a far nobler Bloodline, was still wailing and calling him ’Mama’...

’As for why I didn’t move? I couldn’t be bothered.’

When Ye Xiao stepped forward for his test, the board in front of Chu Sheng happened to finish resetting, so he walked up, ready to begin.

It was Chu Sheng’s first time seeing one of these damage-testing boards. He was quite interested, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to test the power of his Skills.

So he fired off a blast of Celestial Flame.

And then... the testing board exploded!

Chu Sheng knew his Celestial Flame was powerful, but he never expected it to be *this* powerful. It blew the board to bits in an instant, not even giving it time to display a Damage Value.

Thankfully, he’d managed to cut off the Celestial Flame in time. Otherwise, the testing board would have likely been melted into slag!

’Looks like the Celestial Flame can threaten even humans and beasts at the Fifth-Grade Middle Stage Realm! Not bad. Not bad at all!’

’It’s just a bit draining, is all.’

...

”Holy shit, was it really that giant cockroach?”

”No way. How could an insect-type Demon Beast possibly deal that much damage!”

”Yeah! And from what I could see, its Qi Blood is only around the Second-Grade. Even if it was hiding its true strength, there’s no reason for it to be this ridiculous!”

”But who else could it have been?”

As the crowd slowly recovered from their utter shock, some people still expressed their doubts, even though it seemed Chu Sheng was the only possible culprit.

After all, this completely defied common sense!

That included Ye Xiao. He refused to believe his own Crimson Flame Frenzied Lion had been outdone by a cockroach!

”That’s right! I don’t believe it either!”

”I was standing right next to it, and I didn’t see it make a move! Did any of you?”

”I won’t believe it unless it can do it again, right here in front of everyone!”

Ye Xiao’s shouts resonated with many in the crowd.
