SLUUUUUUUUUUUURP—GULP!!
Silence—absolute, pin-drop, universe-wide silence—descended over the Central Solar Colosseum and across the Two Trillion Live Broadcast Screens of Sector 7!
In the VIP stands, Sect Mistress Bai froze with her folding fan halfway to her lips.
In the gambling box, Lord Jin peeked out from under the table and forgot how to breathe.
Up in the Principal’s Sky-Box, Headmaster Hong gripped the marble railing so hard the stone pulverized into powder beneath his fingers, his eyes bulging out of their sockets. Meanwhile, He stared down at the eleven-year-old girl in the yellow dinosaur bib:
“She—she ATE the Nine-Sun Demon-Awakening Annihilation Beam?! And she swallowed all Nine Grade-8 Peak Golden Luck Halos of Xiao Yanwang, Chu Ba, and Long Xuan whole?!”
On the western side of the stage, Student Council President Xiao Yanwang, Vice-President Chu Ba. Long Xuan staggered backward two steps, their faces pale as ghosts as they touched the empty air above their heads!
For the first time since Headmaster Hong had recruited them into the Student Council, the Three Stacked Golden Luck Halos that had hovered above each of their heads day and night were gone!
