Fictional Transcension System - Chapter 21 Devious Plan

Zhang Xuan looked down at his palm to see the Frigid Sun Grass he had spent so much effort to obtain the previous night before shaking his head in confusion. Originally, he had intended to simply use the Frigid Sun Grass to aid Zhao Ya in curing the side effects of her illness while expending his zhenqi to do the rest, however now that this perfect treasure lay before him, how could he not use it? Even a transcendent like himself would know that the Frigid Sun Mother Grass had a value to exceeded a thousand times the less potent Frigid Sun Grass.

Looking closely at the note once more, trying to find some information upon what was happening, Zhang Xuan read out the passage within his mind, ‘Use this Frigid Sun Mother Grass instead of the Frigid Sun Grass on Zhao Ya.’

Not only was there no information about the sender, there was no mention of tasks or payments at all. Although Zhang Xuan had no issues with free goods, he also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, especially one as ruthless as a cultivation based society. Looking around at every sound, Zhang Xuan tentatively picked up the herb, expecting a blackmailer or some sort of assassin to appear from the corner of the classroom. Seconds, then minutes passed, however nothing had happened. Convincing himself that there was nothing wrong with the situation and to see the herb as a simple gift, Zhang Xuan walked to the door before calling for each of the students to come in individually.

Although he had planned to distribute his newly created techniques and herbs to the students outside the room, the sudden appearance of the Frigid Sun Mother Grass made him feel quite cautious.

As per the previous day, Zhang Xuan looked through the issues of the students with the Library before giving them instructions on how to cultivate or what actions to complete. Upon reaching Zhao Ya’s turn, Zhang Xuan pulled out the Frigid Sun Mother Herb after gathering his courage before instructing Zhao Ya to grind it into powder and to consume it with water. Since nothing had happened so far, Zhang Xuan thought that he would be able to risk giving it to Zhao Ya and if worst comes to worst, Zhao Ya’s butler should have enough power to fend off any attackers.

After Yuan Tao’s turn, Zhang Xuan finally called in the mysterious student from yesterday. While every single other student had been registered within the Library of Heaven’s Path, Lu Fengyi had displayed multiple fighting techniques and yet the Library had not even twitched, not to mention list out his flaws.

Lu Fengyi strode into the room before clasping his hands together and bowing lightly, “Teacher!”

Zhang Xuan nodded before indicating for Lu Fengyi to demonstrate his fighting techniques once more. Breaking into a whirl of kicks and punches, Lu Fengyi demonstrated his most powerful offensive martial arts technique, however this time with the full extent of his new found cultivation.

Gusts of strong wind seemed to form from the fierce combination of attacks, smashing repeatedly into the door and rattling it like a tree in a thunderstorm. Zhang Xuan, although unaffected by the waves due to his now strengthened body, stared in awe as Lu Fengyi completed his set of moves.

‘Didn’t this child not have any significant cultivation when I first tested him out? Why does he seem to possess the strength of a Dantian realm pinnacle now?’

*Ding*

Within Zhang Xuan’s consciousness, the Library of Heaven’s Path flipped open frantically before revealing a page of flaws based around Lu Fengyi. Sighing inwardly, Zhang Xuan quickly looked through the flaws before identifying some major ones that would be the most effective to the child’s cultivation if fixed and thinking up some quick solution to them.

After a final roundhouse kick, Lu Fengyi finished to see Zhang Xuan sitting in his seat with his eyes closed. Knowing that his teacher was currently looking through his flaws, Lu Fengyi smiled to himself before asking the system, ‘I suppose you have granted the Library of Heaven’s Path access to my flaws?’

[ Indeed! I recomputed your privacy settings when you were asleep, however there is one thing I am curious about. Was it your intention to allow Zhang Xuan to know your cultivation? I though you wanted to hide it ]

‘I will leave my cultivation at Dantian realm pinnacle due to Wang Ying already knowing about my cultivation level, however as I progress further, I’ll make sure that I limit my growth to something more normal.’

[ Alright then! ]

Finally, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes to see Lu Fengyi staring expectantly towards him. Gathering up his expertly demeanour, Zhang Xuan began to recite the flaws he had singled out, “I see that your cultivation level is quite solid and you’ve been training quite well, however I found several key flaws within your technique. Firstly, when you complete your punches and kicks, try to…”

Lu Fengyi nodded intently as he tried to remember the words for future reference. Although it was true that he was able to cultivate at the speed of light compared to others, his technique still had many flaws which if fixed, would increase his battle prowess by several fold. Nodding and thanking Zhang Xuan, Lu Fengyi left the room with a smiling expression upon his face.

Following closely behind, Zhang Xuan began to announce his following instructions when the sounds of fighting began to ring from outside the classroom. After the sounds began to draw on for a while too long, Zhang Xuan wrinkled his brows before stepping out of the room, “I am the in the midst of my lessons, it is unbecoming for you all to be making a ruckus here.”

“Zhang Xuan, you came at the perfect timing!”

“Cao Xiong laoshi has already submitted an appeal to the school, accusing you of using deception to coerce his student, Liu Yang, to become your student! The academy has already approved the usage of the Enlightenment Will Trial, so I advise you to quickly bring Liu Yang over!”

In front of Zhang Xuan stood an unfamiliar with a bright red hand-print upon his face. Confused at what the man had said, Zhang Xuan questioned, “Enlightenment Will Trial?”

“Indeed. Right now, I am passing this message to you as a representative of the Education Bureau. If you don’t go, that would be tantamount to disobeying the rules of the academy and similarly, you will be fired as well!”

Zhang Xuan scratched his head in confusion, ‘If Cao Xiong laoshi felt scammed, shouldn’t he be the one reporting me? Where the hell did this fellow jump out from?’

“Zhang Xuan laoshi, don’t go” Shen Bi Ru called out with a worried tone.

Zhang Xuan quickly waved away the words before turning to the unfamiliar teacher, “Alright, I’ll go! Liu Yang, come with me!”

As Lu Fengyi watched Zhang Xuan lead Liu Yang away from the classroom, inspiration suddenly hit him. Turning to Wang Ying, he nudged her arm before whispering into her ear, “Can you take me to see the Wang clan right now?”
