Just as Gu Xi closed the private room door, he heard a voice from behind.

"Was that you just now?"

Gu Xi turned around and found that the woman in the black robe had woken up. For some reason, she didn’t bother to pick up the tattered black robe and was instead staring at Gu Xi with great interest.

"Yes."

Gu Xi glanced at the clothes still lying on the floor. This was such an obvious thing; why bother asking?

The woman unexpectedly pressed her forehead, speechless.

"I was asking about the Demon River Corpse Source. Did you control it?"

Only then did Gu Xi realize that the Demon River Corpse Source hadn’t been contained yet. The adjacent room was already soaking wet; the water was almost reaching Gu Xi’s feet.

"Yes, I subdued it."

"Oh, that’s good. I accidentally let it out earlier and almost thought I was doomed. Wait, what did you just say? You subdued it?"

The woman jumped up immediately.

This nearly made Gu Xi’s eyes sway.

"Yeah, I subdued it. What’s the matter? Is this your Undead? Do you want it?"

Hearing this, the woman was left speechless again as she reassessed Gu Xi.

Due to wearing very little clothing, Gu Xi no longer appeared in his Elf Shooter attire.

However, after switching to his Fitness Skill state, his muscles swelled, his skin took on a bronze tint, and he didn’t at all look like an Undead Mage capable of directly subduing such a powerful undead.

In fact, looking like this, one might even believe he was a Death Knight.

Moreover, the muscles on Gu Xi’s body weren’t just for show. They were filled with power, which the woman had just experienced.

There was real power there.

"No, maybe this is fate. It seems this time it really is destiny."

The woman sat down in Gu Xi’s recliner and began to explain.

Her name was Tang Shuang, and she was a graduate student at Yin City Netherworld University in the Judgement Element.

This time, she and her colleagues had gone out for her graduate thesis, which involved the Demon River Corpse Source.

The Judgement Element is considered a promotional branch of the Undead Mage in Netherworld University.

This Judgement Element mainly follows the route of the Netherworld Judge.

This profession has existed in myths and legends from ancient to modern times in both Western and Eastern traditions.

Figures such as Judges or Netherworld Rulers belong to this category.

Tang Shuang was following this path, and her thesis was about establishing a Netherworld checkpoint and becoming a Guardian Judge there.

Originally, Tang Shuang wanted to establish a River of the Netherworld within Netherworld University where she could act as a judge, deciding whether passing Undead could cross the river or be thrown into the water.

The man traveling with Tang Shuang was on another Death Knight path, and he joined her to battle for their thesis. His goal was to become the Ferryman of the new Nether River.

They both had prepared for a full two years for their graduate thesis this time.

They spent time gathering information about this Demon River Corpse Source.

This thing was like a water eye, considered the primordial source of certain things.

This was exactly why Gu Xi had seen it labeled as a Primordial Body on the description of the Demon River Corpse Source.

Tang Shuang and her crew spent two years finding the Demon River Corpse Source and spent a large amount of points from the school to buy a sealing box, spending half a year to trick the Demon River Corpse Source into the box.

They originally thought that by bringing the Demon River Corpse Source back to Netherworld University and putting it in a small river, her thesis could be considered complete.

But she never expected to encounter such a situation on the train to Yin City.

As a result, she was nearly killed by the Demon River Corpse Source.

After explaining the cause of the situation, Tang Shuang looked at Gu Xi.

"You..."

"I understand what you mean. This Demon River Corpse Source was originally yours, but now it belongs to my minions.

I want to ask, must your Demon River Corpse Source be placed at the river near Netherworld University?

After putting it down, how long will it take to convert the river into a Nether River or Yellow Springs?

Can the Demon River Corpse Source be taken away after the conversion is completed?"

Gu Xi interrupted Tang Shuang, directly asking several questions.

After hearing about the role of the Demon River Corpse Source, Gu Xi was somewhat tempted in his heart.

The Demon River Corpse Source would be useful to him too. Whether in Yalidu City or Poisonous Peach Mountain, a Nether River could be placed.

If that doesn’t work, he could open up Poisonous Peach Mountain and let Tang Shuang establish a Nether River there to become a Nether River Judge.

Gu Xi spoke somewhat urgently this time, and Tang Shuang naturally picked up on Gu Xi’s meaning.

It was obvious that Gu Xi was also interested in the Demon River Corpse Source.

But this was related to her thesis; if it was gone, she would have to start all over again.

So Tang Shuang could only lean against Gu Xi, "The Demon River Corpse Source must be placed near Netherworld University.

This is also the rule of Netherworld University; every graduate must leave something for the university.

And after placing it down, the Demon River Corpse Source will merge with the Nether River flow; it cannot be taken out again.

As for us graduates, as long as a primordial body like the Demon River Corpse Source is placed, the Nether River is considered established, and even if it hasn’t fully converted, it doesn’t matter; reaching Level 20 is achieved.

As for when the Nether River can fully form, that’s not something we need to care about."

Gu Xi glanced at the Demon River Corpse Source still standing in the opposite private room, feeling a bit conflicted.

On the one hand, Gu Xi was reluctant to part with this thing.

After all, it’s rare to get an undead minion above Level 40, giving it away just like that was somewhat regretful.

But on the other hand, this thing didn’t originally belong to Gu Xi.

Taking it just like that wouldn’t be right in terms of ethics.

If Gu Xi was still in Ancestor City or Pei Xin City, he might have just taken it.

But now he’s in the real world, and he plans to attend Netherworld University for further studies.

It wouldn’t be good to offend people before even enrolling.

Seeing Gu Xi’s uncertainty, Tang Shuang understood what Gu Xi was considering.

So she quietly leaned over to Gu Xi’s ear and whispered.

"Good man, return the Demon River Corpse Source to me, and I will naturally reward you."

"What kind of reward can you give me?"

Gu Xi stretched out his hand, unconsciously squeezing, but his tone was somewhat low.

He had actually realized he was still a good person; never mind, he decided to pretend he hadn’t encountered the Demon River Corpse Source.

"While working on my thesis, I discovered a few similar entities to the Demon River Corpse Source. However, at the time, I only had enough points to exchange for the Sealing Demon Box, so I had to choose the Demon River Corpse Source as my target.

If I tell you about another similar entity and accompany you, would that work for you?"

Tang Shuang said this while pressing her body closer to Gu Xi.

"Alright, I am planning to apply to Netherworld University for my graduate studies, having a familiar senior guiding me would also be beneficial."
