Fictional Transcension System - Chapter 24 Enlightenment Will Trial 2
The discussion upon the topic of Zhang Xuan’s possible coercion had just reached its most heated moment when the knocking came once more, “There is someone outside who is seeking an audience with Zhang Xuan laoshi”
Elder Shang harrumphed lightly before answering, “Looking for Zhang Xuan? Who?”
The teacher on duty noticed elder Shang’s displeasing, however he still replied shakily ,”It is the son of Zhennan Wang, Bai Xun xiao wangye!”
Lu Fengyi placed his fingers together before interlocking them and laughing inwardly like he imagined those evil genius scientists would. The arrival of potential allies was almost perfect for what he was planning to do. After all, slapping an elder’s face in public was a terribly shameful thing and could possibly cause repercussions if not backed up with sufficient allies.
“Hurry, invite him in!” Elder Shang did not dare to hesitate, quickly ushering for the teacher on duty to show the important guest in. Someone like Bai Xun was not a person he could afford to annoy, not to mention offend. Even the slightest mistreatment might cause an avalanche to fall upon him, even his death would be considered a light punishment.
Moments later, a white-clothed man strode through the door with several obscure, armoured figures behind him.
Experiencing the pressure for himself, Lu Fengyi felt as if a mountain was being weighted upon him, even though Bai Xun did not even spare a glance for him. Not only that, the figures behind Bai Xun were Supreme Soldiers, who were all experts in the way of cultivation. Without even releasing their auras, Lu Fengyi could feel an underlying danger from the figures.
Instantly, everyone in the room aside from Elder Mo and Zhang Xuan stood up and gave a respectful bow towards Bai Xun. Lu Fengyi, of course, followed suit in order to prevent any suspicion or troubles being placed upon him.
“Paying respects to xiao wangye…”
Waving away the bows, Bai Xun ignored the others, looking straight towards Zhang Xuan, “Ah! Master Zhang, you are here indeed”
Creasing his brows, Zhang Xuan questioned, “Why are you here?”
“My dad will be leaving after he is done reporting on his duty, so I can’t remain in the capital for long. Thus, I have to make use of every second to learn from master so that I can pass the test!” Bai Xun stepped towards Zhang Xuan before bowing slightly.
Seeing that not only did Bai Xun not punish Zhang Xuan for being rude, but instead calling him master, the others in the room stared confusedly.
“Master? Since when did this trash obtain the right to be called a master? Bai Xun xiao wangye, you must have mistaken him for another teacher…”
Elder Shang stopped speaking as Bai Xun turned an icy glare over towards him, “Who the hell are you, trying to question master Zhang’s capabilities. I’ll have you know that grandpa Zhang is a master painter of this era and his prowess is incredible to the point that even three of me are incapable of matching up to him. Yet, you dare question his capabilities? The heck, you must be tired of living! Or perhaps, you are trying to look for a sparring partner? Bai Yang!”
One of the shadowy figures stepped out from the formation behind Bai Xun, clasping his hands together, “Your humble subordinate is here.”
“Slap him!” Bai Xun commanded.
Instantly leaping into action, the figure unleashed a bloody aura before charging towards Elder Shang, fists out-stretched with an intention to slap the man.
Everyone sucked in a deep breath before muttering, “Supreme Soldier!”
Lu Fengyi stared in fascination before asking the system, ‘Do I also have the option of releasing such a bloodthirsty aura? That would be really cool when I make a dramatic entrance.’
[ Of course! However you must unlock it through a quest like the storage space you obtained recently ]
Shaking his head, Lu Fengyi turned his attention back to the situation. In the short moment that he had conversed with the system, the Supreme Soldier had already slapped Elder Shang to the floor, who’s face was now disfigured and several teeth were evidently missing.
Not daring to express his anger, Elder Shang obediently kept quiet, however his heart raged on the inside. Not only had he been tread on by Zhang Xuan’s slick reasoning ability, he was now being humiliated by one of the most influential figures that could have appeared during this moment. Directing all his hate towards Zhang Xuan, Elder Shang’s eyes glowed red as he stared hatefully towards him.
Not completely blind to emotions, Bai Xun noticed Elder Shang’s displeasure, “What? Are you unhappy with my actions? Let me tell you the truth, I am actually saving you. If my Grandpa Zhang were to make a move personally and if he were to fail to control his strength properly, you would be dead by now!”
Elder Shang cried bitter tears, ‘What the hell is this? Not only is Bai Xun still targeting me, he’s also telling me that this trash of a teacher with the surname Zhang is stronger than me and could kill me if he didn’t control his strength?’
Elder Shang felt his understanding of the world begin to drain. His decades of experience in teacher and residing within this world was all for nought, now that Zhang Xuan was here, defying common sense left and right!
The almost routine knocking sounded once more before the teacher on duty’s voice rang out, “Elder Shang!”
“W-what is it?”
The teacher on duty stepped in, about to announce what ever he had to say, however instantly closed his mouth in shock as he saw the state in which Elder Shang was currently in. Although he had many questions, he did not dare ask them. Gathering up his courage, the teacher continued, “There is a lady outside who has identified herself as Huang Yu looking for Zhang Xuan laoshi.”
Unable to take it anymore, Elder Shang let out a mouthful of blood, spitting it distastefully upon the floor, ‘What the damn hell is going on? Shang Bi, my dear grandson, I thought you told me that this Zhang Xuan would definitely be found guilty of coercion. Now look what has happened! Not only has he been proved innocent by the Enlightenment Will Trial, he’s now gotten so many renowned figures to back him up. Can you please tell me, are you trying to set me up?’
Upon finishing his thought, Elder Shang and the others glanced towards the elegant young beauty who stepped through the doorway before scanning anxiously amongst the present people. Upon finding her target, Huang Yu leapt in front of Zhang Xuan before bowing low, “Paying respects to Zhang laoshi!”
Lu Fengyi knew that his time to move was coming close. If he did not act now, his only appropriate opportunities to slap face were within the student evaluation and finding three opportunities by then would be a far fetched task. Sucking in a deep breath, Lu Fengyi ran through what he was going to do within his head before confirming them mentally, showing an unchanging face the entire time.
[ Oho? This feeling of concentration! It seems that my time with this child will be interesting ]
