Trash Techniques Are Actually Pretty Efficient - Volume 1 Chapter 56
The bell rang. Lan Xiang, Lu Xifa, Ye Qingle, Zhang Xiaoqin, and Ren Weiwei strutted out of the room unfazed by the results. Meanwhile, the other students, as well as Luo Zi Da, stood frozen, not daring to move.
Luo Zi Da looked at the paper where he recorded everyone’s cultivation levels. Not to mention Lan Xiang’s stunning upset, his companions’ cultivation levels were enough to beat even the best of Class A.
Except for Ren Weiwei, of course. She was more normal at Hidden Qi Realm.
“A, ahem.” The bespectacled student stood up.
The entire room was silent, so his voice could be heard by all.
“Listen, fellow classmates. Don’t be discouraged.
“Think about this instead. Even though Trash- I mean, Lan Xiang has a vastly higher cultivation level than us, we still trump him completely in our studies!”
His classmates’ ears perked.
“Even though, in the real world, our grades don’t mean sh*t and cultivation has a more practical use, we STILL trump him in our studies!”
“Yeah, yeah, we do!”
“Even though, he’s handsome and has girls all over him, we STILL trump him utterly in our studies!!!”
At this point, the students were all cheered up. They had the strong urge to vote the bespectacled student for president.
Meanwhile, Luo Zi Da shook his head. He had a feeling Lan Xiang might once again amaze everyone. And so, he didn’t dare to look down on him any longer.
He headed out of the classroom, disappointed at his crazy students.
“Wait, hm. If Student Lan joins the tournament, he might, no, he’ll definitely win the first place! I’d get a share of his pie!” Luo Zi Da didn’t feel so desolate anymore as he thought of that.
…..
Lan Xiang dragged Lu Xifa as soon as they came out of the classroom. “You know the drill.”
Lu Xifa sighed. “Ah, really, why don’t you just learn the technique yourself…”
“You mean it? You won’t take it back after one second?”
“Um, sure…” Lu Xifa didn’t expect Lan Xiang to take her casual remark— scratch that, her obvious joke so seriously.
She took out the Spatial Distortion manual and gave it to him.
Well, he can’t really cultivate it, it’s of the space element after all. I saw him use the fire element, he can’t utilize this.
Meanwhile, Lan Xiang held back his grin. What a turn of events! Now I have an excuse should I use the technique in front of her.
“Wait, you guys!” Ye Qingle followed the two. “I also want to come.”
“Us too!” Ren Weiwei and Zhang Xiaoqin followed Ye Qingle. “We’re feeling left out over here.”
Lan Xiang scratched his head. “Aiya, what did I say, three’s a crowd, right??”
“Come on, there’s no harm in bringing over all of us.” Lu Xifa insisted.
She whispered in his ear, “Besides, once they realize how hot it is, they’ll want to leave, just like me.”
Lan Xiang thought that what Lu Xifa said was reasonable. “Okay, you can all come. And since you’re all coming, might as well bring along Jian’er as well!”
Lu Xifa led the way to the women’s bathroom. Ye Qingle, Zhang Xiaoqin, and Ren Weiwei surrounded Lan Xiang as he infiltrated the forbidden place.
A rift opened in front of Lu Xifa. She stepped in immediately. Lan Xiang followed, as did the rest. Zhang Xiaoqin was the last one to go, her long black hair the last thing to come through the portal.
Just before the rift could close, the door opened. It was the same girl from yesterday.
“Eeeeek!” She closed the door immediately.
Her friend was once again confused. “What is it this time?”
“Th, there was hair! Floating in the air!” She peeked inside the bathroom, but the hair was gone.
“Tsk, you’ve really been watching too many horror movies.”
…..
“Welcome home, Xiang~”
“Ah, Jian’er, thanks for last night. I love you~”
Lan Xiang gave Xie Jian a hug and a kiss.
The dog food made everyone turn their heads away, especially Ren Weiwei and Lu Xifa. They couldn’t bear to see this scene.
“Hai, I’m really tired.” Lan Xiang crashed onto the sofa. “Guys, wait, let me rest for 30 minutes…”
“Sure, why not.” Lu Xifa and the others were also tired. They might as well spend their time here resting on the couch.
“Oh, that’s right, Xiang, I forgot to ask you about the Disguise Ring!” Xie Jia forgot about the matter.
“Ah, that’s right. It’s in here…” Lan Xiang reached for his pocket. “…oh, wait. It’s in the laundry!”
He stood up with urgency. The Disguise Ring was extremely precious and rare, and the Xie family only had three. If he were to lose one of them, Xie Jian would take the blame.
“Ai, don’t worry, it’s on me.” Xie Jian showed it to Lan Xiang on her palm. “I took it from your pocket when I changed your clothes.”
“Oh, that’s a relief.” Lan Xiang sat back down, the stress completely leaving his body. He felt like he had dodged a bullet just now.
“Well, that wasn’t what I wanted to know anyway. What I was meaning to ask is… what wa the effect of the Disguise Ring?” Xie Jian had some kind of hypothesis as to what happened, but she didn’t really know.
“Ah.” Lan Xiang fell silent. When he recalled the feeling… he shivered. He didn’t want to talk about it. “I don’t need the Disguise Ring anymore. I think the cloak is enough.”
“N, no!” Ye Qingle was desperate. “I easily recognized you even with the cloak on! You need the ring!”
“Yeah, when you put on the ring you were like a completely different person!” Lu Xifa chimed in.
Xie Jian raised her eyebrows. “How come they know what you look like with the ring?”
“Well, they came with me to the marketplace. Speaking of, you wanna come with today? Everyone else insists on coming anyway.”
Xie Jian thought about it, then nodded. “Sure, I’ve nothing better to do anyway. Wait, don’t change the subject!”
Zhang Xiaoqin’s eyes sparkled with curiosity when she heard Lu Xifa and Ye Qingle pleading for him to keep wearing the ring. “Ooh, me too! I also wanna see!”
“Why don’t you wear it right now?” Ren Weiwei interjected.
Xie Jian grinned, handing him the ring.
Lan Xiang scratched his head. “Okay, fine. Better sooner than later anyway.”
A few seconds later, everyone looked at him in awe.
Ye Qingle didn’t notice the drool dripping out of her mouth.
Ren Weiwei subconsciously took out her phone.
Lu Xifa covered her face, trying to hide her redness.
Zhang Xiaoqin couldn’t help but utter, “Woah.”
Finally, Xie Jian was stunned. “You… why are you prettier than me??”
Lan Xiang: “This is why I didn’t wanna wear the ring.”
