Chapter 761: When Is This Going to End?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The heavy pounding on the door made Lu Shu confused. When he opened the door, he saw Chen Zuan and the rest standing nervously outside. Lu Shu asked, “Why? What happened?”
Immediately Lu Xiaoyu searched the house, but there was n.o.body hiding inside. Still in shock, Chen Zuan answered, “That’s what we wanted to ask you, Brother Shu. Do you not know what you just said in the house? Whose karma were you referring to?”
“Oh, that.” Lu Shu was stunned. He did not expect his physical form to speak the same thing as his magical consciousness. Well, it seemed that he had to be more careful next time. However, that did not affect his good mood at all. He explained himself with a wide grin, “It’s nothing. I’m fine. There’s nothing to worry about. By the way, do we have a teacher yet?”
The others looked at one another, confused. As it turned out, Lu Shu did not pay any attention to school at all, even though he had been visiting the lab everyday.
“Are you hiding something from us, Brother Shu?” asked Chen Zuan, “What are you doing? You seem absent-minded recently.”
Lu Shu replied with as much patience as he could muster, “Can’t tell you.”
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +199!”
In fact, it was openly acknowledged that Lu Shu could access more cla.s.sified information due to his higher position. Thus, it was possible that Lu Shu had been working on a secret a.s.signment that the rest had no right to know. Nonetheless, Lu Shu had always been in a hurry when he came and left the school, as though he could not wait to do something. Each day, he only turned up in Luo Shen Cultivation College for a short while without doing anything. Moreover, sometimes Chen Zuan even believed that Lu Shu was not listening to his words at all.
But now, he looked different, as if his soul had just returned to his body after completing a grand wish…
Actually, it was literally true…
Back then, Nie Ting had put in so much effort to send Lu Shu overseas. Now that he was back, the examinations had already been over. Worse still, he had been denied attendance for the makeup tests.
Furthermore, he was now an audit student, which was rather annoying. Then, he had even turned the entire batch of Species Research students at Luo Shen Cultivation College into a team committed to capturing wild mutated creatures…
Their hatred for each other had truly become deep-rooted!
Thus, Lu Shu’s very first plan after he discovered his ability to quickly expand the boundary of the Seal of Lands was to upset Nie Ting, instead of using it to solve the potential threat of mutated species…
All Pract.i.tioners required Spirit Qi for cultivation, and even Nie Ting needed it to achieve resonance between his sword and the world because only in this way could he channel the Spirit Qi into his body.
As a result… the Liuhai Lane would be in a Spirit Qi vacuum as long as the Seal of Lands was in Lu Shu’s possession.
However, Lu Shu would stop once Nie Ting apologized to him… Yet, it seemed quite unlikely as Nie Ting was the boss of the Heavenly Network.
As the sure winner of the game, Lu Shu decided to be more generous towards the loser. He would consider being nicer to Nie Ting if he allowed him to be an official student and stopped annoying him in all thinkable and unthinkable ways.
The thought made Lu Shu giggle again, which gave the rest gooseb.u.mps. What the h.e.l.l? Had Lu Shu really gone mad?!
In the span of merely a few minutes, Lu Shu had seen multiple entries of distress points from Nie Ting. Despite the decrease in the number of points each time, Lu Shu felt rather relieved nonetheless…
In fact, he had once considered pus.h.i.+ng the border of the Seal northward or southward all the way till overseas. However, that required large-scale expansion which could not be accomplished anytime soon given his current abilities.
Furthermore, truth be told, he could barely wait to annoy Nie Ting!
Lu Shu decided not to explain much. “Alright. I’ve got stuff on. I’ll tell you more tomorrow in school.”
…
Meanwhile, in the Liuhai Lane, s.h.i.+ Xuejin was lying on a couch. His face was covered by a thread-bound book, as if he was sleeping. However, his trembling body as a result of suppressed laughter gave him away…
Perceptively Hao Zhichao noticed his inappropriate presence. Thus, he excused himself at once. Until then, he had dealt with too many incidents to be acquainted with loads of cla.s.sified information, including the fact that it was Lu Shu who killed Takas.h.i.+ma Tairatsu.
Back then, Lu Shu was only perceived as a young man with incredible potential. But it was totally unexpected that he would behave like this one day.
This was a power struggle between the pros, and Hao Zhichao certainly knew better than to get himself caught up in between…
After Hao Zhichao was gone, Nie Ting tilted his head towards s.h.i.+ Xuejin. His expression was cold. “Was it that funny?”
“How long do you plan to be enemies?” s.h.i.+ Xuejin lowered his book, knowing that he had been exposed. “Honestly speaking, I definitely did not expect him to do this first, right after he figured out the function of the Seal of Lands… HAHAHAHAHA!”
“Go and read your book!” Nie Ting said, still sulking, “You’ve spent one year on it and you still have yet to finish it!”
“From Nie Ting’s distress, +499!”
s.h.i.+ Xuejin did not buy it. “Don’t vent your anger on me. I know you are upset about him…”
“It’s such a waste that the Seal of Lands is with him!” said Nie Ting coldly.
“But he got it with his own abilities. Do you still remember what you said when we learned that he had the Seal? ‘Let him take it. He deserved it.’” s.h.i.+ Xuejin reb.u.t.ted with a smile. “Are you really going to take it back?”
Nie Ting went quiet. Of course he could not because that would breach his integrity. Nevertheless, it was still irritating to even think about it!
The Seal of Lands could have been used to weaken or concentrate the Spirit Qi in certain areas so as to lower the risk of disasters caused by mutated species. Yet, Lu Shu had held his patience for two weeks and pushed the border of the Seal to here only to block the Spirit Qi in the courtyard!
Was he crazy?!
“From Nie Ting’s distress, +399!”
At this moment, to Nie Ting’s consternation, the Spirit Qi was back again. What’s going on?
Although Nie Ting was not the sensory type, the difference between the presence and absence of Spirit Qi was too apparent to go unnoticed. Without Spirit Qi, he could not even practice his cultivation. Simple as that.
Thus, Nie Ting was a tad confused. Did Lu Shu suddenly yield to him?
In the next second, however, the Spirit Qi was gone again…
Its disappearance was so fast that it had seemingly not returned at all…
Nie Ting raised his brows high in annoyance. What the heck? When is this going to end?!
“From Nie Ting’s distress, +777!”
