The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"Yes, an eighth-order mutant."

Yin Chen stood beside the giant wolf with his arms crossed, his arrogance enhanced by the wolf's imposing presence.

"This is a way for my father to protect me. I usually disguise myself like this and carry it with me. Firstly, it doesn't attract attention, and secondly, it's convenient for daily life. As you know, if an eighth-level demon beast were to wander around the campus in its true form all day, the security department would probably have to talk to me every day."

"Of course, I know this is against the rules, and I will make up for it with a written apology, instructor."

The black crow remained silent for a long time.

"An eighth-tier Frostbone Wolf can freeze the fluctuations of spatial laws in a short period of time."

An Changqing spoke up at the right moment, filling in the last link in the logical chain: "At that time, the Void Beast was already on the verge of death, and its spatial barrier was very weak. Yin Chen had the Frostbone Wolf suppress the remaining domain with all its might, which gave us the opportunity to get close and pick up the demon core it left behind after its death."

"Strictly speaking, we didn't kill it."

Su Yuehe added softly, "It was already almost dead when we arrived. The Frostbone Wolf just helped us block the chaotic flow of laws and finished us off. We took the demon core after it breathed its last."

Hongyuan nodded vigorously behind her, keeping her mouth shut, afraid that she would say the wrong thing if she opened her mouth.

Black Crow's gaze shifted back and forth between the giant wolf and Yin Chen several times.

Finally, he turned around and faced the direction of the black armored cars.

"Record."

The young instructor hurriedly picked up the record board.

"During the exploration mission, Su Yuehe's team accidentally entered a dimensional rift created by a high-level spatial monster and lost contact for 72 hours. During this time, with the help of the high-level beasts they carried, they successfully escaped the dimensional rift."

He paused for a moment.

"One tenth-tier Void Beast core was also seized."

After saying this, Black Crow turned his head and looked at Yin Chen with a sidelong glance.

"Yin Chen, please fill out a new registration form with the pet's rank information and submit it to the security department before tonight. You don't need to write a self-criticism."

"No problem," Yin Chen replied with a smile.

He knew he had gotten away with it this time.

Black Crow glanced again at the giant wolf standing quietly in the snow, then reached out and tugged at his collar.

"Put it away, lest it freeze and crack my helipad; repairs are very expensive."

Yin Chen gently patted the giant wolf's front leg, and its silvery-white fur began to shrink again, its ice horns melted, and its bones retracted.

In the blink of an eye, the eighth-tier Frostbone Wolf transformed back into the white husky with its head tilted and tongue lolling out.

It wagged its tail and squatted down at Yin Chen's feet.

The ice crystals that had spread across the tarmac had not completely melted, and the air was filled with an extremely crisp chill.

Black Crow turned his back and walked towards the car at the front. After taking a few steps, he paused.

"Get in the car, we're going to the administration building to make a statement."

He didn't turn around.

"After the statements are taken, you can all go back to your dormitories. The college will handle the rest."

The black armored car drove smoothly on the roads inside the academy, its wheels making a soft, rustling sound as they rolled over the thin layer of ice.

Chen Guan sat in the last row by the window, his eyes half-closed, his body swaying slightly with the slight bumps of the vehicle.

He, the protagonist of the incident, simply disappeared without a trace.

Indeed, choice is more important than effort; black sesame dumplings are quite adept at fooling people.

Yin Chen stroked the husky's head and glanced out the window. There were small groups of people watching him intently.

"Looks like we've made quite a splash this time."

"You just made... made this Wolf Brother transform on the helipad, and half the academy could feel the fluctuations of that aura." Su Yuehe gave him a helpless look: "It's too late to keep a low profile now."

When Wolf Brother was spoken by Su Yuehe, it had a strange quality, like Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree.

But Su Yuehe couldn't think of any other name for her.

"What can we do? We're already very high-profile, so that kind of thing doesn't matter to us." Yin Chen shrugged.

Geniuses attract attention wherever they go.

He enjoys the attention.

Long Ao leaned against the car door, his eyes closed, showing no interest in these topics.

By the time the convoy stopped in front of the administration building, the snow had lessened considerably.

The administration building is a four-story gray stone building with withered vines climbing its exterior walls. On either side of the main entrance stands a staff member in a black uniform.

Black Crow was the first to get off the vehicle and stood at the bottom of the steps waiting.

An Changqing pushed open the car door and got out, turning back to call out.

"Get down, everyone."

Hongyuan jumped out of the car, her feet touching the snow. She shivered and muttered, "Why does it feel even colder than before we set off?"

Yin Chen carried the husky out of the car from the other side, his breath dissipating in the cold air.

Su Yuehe wrapped her coat tighter and walked quickly to An Changqing's side.

Chen Guan was the last to get off the bus.

His gaze swept over the main entrance of the administration building, where the stone plaque engraved with the school motto stood out prominently in the wind and snow.

Since Black Crow was able to bring them here, it means they've probably already gotten away with it.

Sure enough, Black Crow led them into the administration building, through the lobby on the first floor, and up to the second floor.

Everything after that was very simple; all you had to do was answer a few questions.

Yin Chen had a bit more trouble, having to fill out a whole bunch of forms and guarantees.

The demon core provided by Long Ao was not confiscated; it was returned to him directly after the appraisal.

However, Long Ao wasn't particularly happy; figuring out how to handle this demon core was a problem for him as well.

Although this thing is valuable and rare, it's not of much use to him, and the person who gave it to him is no ordinary person.

I should find a chance to return it, Long Ao thought to himself.

After the statement was taken, the group walked out of the administration building, where a cold wind blew in, carrying the dryness characteristic of the North.

The sky had darkened, and the college's streetlights shone with a dim yellow light in the wind and snow, illuminating the snow-covered lawns and bare tree branches on both sides.

"It's finally over."

Hong Yuan stretched dramatically, raising her arms high above her head, her knuckles making a slight cracking sound: "I almost fell asleep inside just now. The recorder asked me the same question three times, and I almost couldn't make it up anymore."

"That's because your answers contradicted each other the first two times." Yin Chen walked beside him, carrying the husky, his tone full of disdain.

"The first time you said you were on guard, the second time you said you were observing, and the third time you said you didn't see anything clearly. Think about it yourself, if you were the recorder, would you believe that?"

"It's all pretty much the same," Hong Yuan said guiltily. "Anyway, it means I didn't do anything; it was all thanks to you guys."

"You really didn't do anything," Yin Chen added.

Hong Yuan kicked a chunk of snow off the roadside, and the other party instinctively dodged, flying past Yin Chen's trouser leg.

"Yin Chen, try saying another word."
