At that very moment, Dan Feng was alone in his room when a strange sensation suddenly surged through him.
This feeling didn't come from the outside world but originated from deep within his body, as if his bloodline itself was trembling in fear.
However, this state wasn't particularly pronounced.
Dan Feng couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled; he had never experienced such a sensation before.
So, he decided to open his status panel to check if anything was abnormal.
The moment he opened the panel, his gaze was immediately drawn to the Dragon Vein section, because it was flashing with a dazzling red light.
"Dragon Vein?" Dan Feng stared at the text on the panel and murmured to himself, "I almost forgot about this ability."
He recalled that he had once obtained the Dragon Vein ability, but since he had never paid much attention to it, he had gradually forgotten about it.
However, the abnormal flashing of the Dragon Vein now made him realize that this ability was likely connected to the strange feeling in his body.
Without hesitation, he tapped on the Dragon Vein to investigate further.
Sure enough, after opening the Dragon Vein ability, he discovered an unusual message.
[Dragon Vein bound target's status is abnormal due to an external object]
Dan Feng looked at this message, his heart filled with questions: "Can my Dragon Vein bind to people?" He really couldn't recall ever having bound anyone.
Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind—Roxy.
After all, the Dragon Vein probably couldn't actively bind to people, but it would continuously affect the status of those around him. The person who had been by his side the longest was Roxy, so this bound target could only be Roxy.
"Could something have happened to Roxy?" Dan Feng's brows furrowed tightly as an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
With that thought, Dan Feng no longer hesitated.
He decisively stood up, strode quickly to the door, pushed it open forcefully, closed it behind him, and hurried downstairs.
His mind held only one thought: find Roxy as quickly as possible and figure out exactly what had happened to her.
To find Roxy, there were only two places to check: the magic circle classroom and the library. Roxy was basically always in one of those two locations.
The girls' dormitory could pretty much be ruled out, since Roxy was the type who wouldn't return to the dorm until it was dark.
So, Dan Feng headed straight for the magic circle classroom.
On the way, Dan Feng's behavior drew frequent glances from passersby, as he was running so fast that it naturally attracted attention.
Soon, Dan Feng arrived at Roxy's magic circle classroom.
Since the first stage of magic circle classes had already ended, what was being taught now was an extension course.
For classes like this, you could attend if you wanted or skip if you didn't.
At the moment, only about ten people were seated in the classroom, and the teacher was still the one who taught Roxy magic circles.
She was standing on the podium, her gaze fixed on the book on the lectern.
The students below were keeping their heads down, silently writing something.
Dan Feng stood at the classroom door, scanning every corner of the room with his eyes, but he still couldn't spot Roxy anywhere.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled. Had Roxy not come to class? Or was she sitting in some side position that he hadn't noticed?
With these questions in mind, Dan Feng gently knocked on the door, producing a crisp sound.
This small action was like a stone thrown into a calm lake surface, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the classroom.
The students who had been focused on the lesson all turned their heads, curiously looking at Dan Feng at the door.
Dan Feng calmly pushed the door open and slowly walked into the classroom.
His gaze met the teacher's on the podium, and he said with a hint of apology, "Hello, Teacher. I'm looking for someone."
The teacher smiled and nodded. She thought that since Dan Feng had come looking for someone during class time, it must be something urgent.
So, she asked softly, "Student, who are you looking for?"
"Is Roxy here?" Dan Feng's voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet classroom, it was exceptionally clear.
The teacher pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then replied, "You're looking for Roxy? She hasn't come to class for several days now."
Hearing the teacher's words, Dan Feng's heart sank.
He had still been holding onto a sliver of hope, thinking Roxy was just sitting in some inconspicuous spot, but he never expected that she hadn't come to class for several days.
Dan Feng thanked the teacher, then turned to leave the classroom.
However, just as he was about to step out the door, a voice suddenly came from below: "Student! Please wait a moment!"
Dan Feng stopped in his tracks and looked back in confusion.
He saw a female student standing up from her seat.
"A few days ago, I saw Roxy holding what looked like the principal's staff and heading back to the dormitory. I don't know what happened after that." The female student said to Dan Feng.
The principal's staff had been seen by some students during the opening speech, so it was easy to recognize—after all, the golden color was the most memorable.
"Thank you!" Dan Feng nodded to the female student, then headed outside again.
Next, Dan Feng also went to the library, planning to ask the principal last.
After all, how could Roxy possibly be at the principal's place?
However, even in the massive library, there was no sign of Roxy.
So, only one last place remained.
Not long after, Dan Feng arrived at the door of the principal's office. After a brief pause, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in." The principal's kind voice came from inside.
Upon hearing this, Dan Feng slowly pushed open the door and entered the room.
When the principal saw who it was, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and smiled, gesturing for Dan Feng to sit.
Dan Feng walked to the chair opposite the principal and slowly sat down. His gaze fixed on the principal as he got straight to the point: "Principal, do you know where Roxy went?"
The principal was slightly stunned upon hearing this, seemingly surprised by Dan Feng's question, and asked in confusion, "Hm? Didn't Roxy tell you?"
Dan Feng shook his head and explained, "I've been training these past few days and haven't been with her."
"She went to conquer an S-rank labyrinth alone."
"What? S-rank?" Dan Feng instantly stood up, his face grave.
Now it all made sense. Because of the Dragon Vein, he had sensed Roxy's fear, and now that he knew she had gone to conquer an S-rank labyrinth alone, it explained everything.
"Principal, where is that S-rank labyrinth?" Dan Feng asked anxiously. At this moment, he had lost his usual calm.
"It's in the Deadwood Forest area north of the Ranoa Kingdom." The principal pointed in the direction opposite his window.
After understanding the direction, Dan Feng decisively took out the Heavy Abyss Pearl.
Then, with the sound of a drop of water hitting the ground, Dan Feng instantly transformed into his Vidyadhara form.
Now, he could only use the Vidyadhara's flight to get there as quickly as possible. As for exposing this form in front of the principal—he didn't care anymore.
After all, he was already prepared to reveal this form to the world.
