Chapter 258: 258、Taking Bullets Even When Lying Down (Part 3)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Can’t you at least conceal your desire to only accepting Lu Xiaoyu as disciple?

Chen Baili did not seem to be at a loss . Since Lu Xiaoyu was not willing, he did not press the matter further .

Suddenly, Chen Baili asked if the joke about Li Yixiao’s name was from Lu Shu .

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +399!”

Lu Shu gave a start . What kind of idea is this? The heck! Could it be that when Chen Baili provided the distress points a few days back, it was not because the Seal of Lands went missing, but because Li Yixiao went fooling around with the old Taoist priest?

He answered with a soft “Yes” .

Chen Baili furrowed his brows, “Don’t teach other things anymore!”

“Okay, okay…” Lu Shu nodded .

In an instant, he felt that something was amiss . Why were the distress points of a higher value than when Lu Xiaoyu refused to have Chen Baili as her master?!

Damn, so Chen Baili’s real aim was to warn me not teach Li Yixiao the wrong proverbs again? How badly did Li Yixiao anger Chen Baili then?

Isn’t this the proverbial “Taking bullets even when lying down”?

Before Lu Shu could even react, Chen Baili had already shut his eyes again, “Go on, the remain is opening soon . Spend your time on your practitioning, don’t wander around anymore . ”

This is…totally climbing over people…

However, just as Lu Shu was about to bring Lu Xiaoyu away, Chen Baili, the old priest, suddenly exclaimed, “Little girl, what is your awakening power? Maybe you can hide this from others, but not this old priest here . The breathing rhythms and gait of normal humans are disorderly, that is because they don’t have the foundation of power . Lu Shu, how long can you hide this from the Heavenly Network?”

Lu Shu felt his chest constricting . He did not expect the old priest to pay such close attention to details . He could actually tell that Lu Xiaoyu has superhuman power just by such small things like her breathing and gait .

In actual fact, Lu Shu did think about this point . Lu Xiaoyu’s power was already on par with that of a Class D Medium Level Awakened Person . If not for those with trained eyes, she could be passed off as having just Class F powers .

However, it would not be such a good idea to still claim that Lu Xiaoyu was just an ordinary person when in front of such a master .

Yet, if Chen Baili could discover that, so should Li Xianyi . However, Li Xianyi never brought up this issue .

Suddenly, Chen Baili spoke, “The little girl’s blood sample has already been tested, there is no longer any need for you to conceal anything for her . What can we do with her? There is more than one teenage Awakened one in the country, what’s there to hide?”

“Yes, yes, you are right…” Lu Shu nodded .

“Hmm,” Chen Baili nodded in satisfaction . “What is her level of awakening, Class F or E?”

“Power system, already Class D… . ” Lu Shu thought, you are already so frank, it isn’t right for me not to give you Lu Xiaoyu’s true Class level .

Chen Baili was once again silent for a long time upon hearing this . “Little girl, if you accept me formally as your teacher, nobody in this country would dare harass you . Do you wish to?”

“No, I don’t,” Lu Xiaoyu rejected outright once again .

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +699!”

“If you become my student, I’ll give you a magic weapon!”

“No . ”

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +799!”

Chen Baili looked up at the black sky . For a moment, he could not think of any better conditions…

He had known previously that the girl beside Lu Shu has great aptitude for abilities, but the more crucial point was to know that this girl was definitely awakened . At this point in time, nothing else mattered .

Only people at his level would know what awakening at 10 years of age entails .

The endowment tested using Sodium-potassium alloy is root and bone . On the other hand, an awakened one below the age of 16 means a certain level of intelligence . The younger one is the person, the more genius he or she is .

In the cultivation technique system under Shi Xuejin, intelligence was actually not important, because what he pursued was a speedily formed team for the country . As long as their aptitude for abilities was sufficient, Class B could be achieved .

However, Chen Baili set his sights higher . Class B is certainly strong, but he had long since fixed his sight on the Class A level .

Class B could perhaps be achieved by cultivation technique and magical energy, but to reach Class A would require intelligence . This was an unsurmountable threshold for anyone even till now .

In the country, the four of them – Chen Baili, Nie Ting, Li Xianyi and Feng Yeming, had the highest chance . However, Nie Ting was preoccupied with trifles, whereas Feng Yeming viewed cultivation as a hobby .

Chen Baili and Li Xianyi, on the other hand, took cultivation seriously . Unfortunately, due to having overstretched themselves in their early days, their foundations were damaged . Though still possessing the intelligence to understand the laws of heaven and earth, their bodies could no longer take the sheer power of the laws .

All he could do now was lament . His greatest wish was to find a teenager capable of crossing over the threshold into Class A .

This was why Chen Baili had his passion rekindled upon seeing an awakened Lu Xiaoyu at 10 years old!

It was not that being unawakened meant there was no chance to become Class A . Chen Baili and Li Xianyi were both not awakened ones . It was simply that to be an awakened person, he or she would stand a higher chance!

Just like Li Xianyi, Chen Baili did not have much time left .

However, Lu Xiaoyu was not willing to accept him as her teacher!

The old priest felt his temper rising . He asked, slightly angered, “Why do you not want to accept me as your teacher?”

“I heard from people that you have a bad temper!” Lu Xiaoyu replied .

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +999!”

“Who! Who told you that! Tell him to come here!” Chen Baili was enraged . Some distance away, Chen Zuan suddenly felt a chill . He found it baffling . As a Class E, why was he still feeling the chill?

Once again, birds in the sky fell by the dozens .

However, “bad temper” was merely Lu Xiaoyu’s excuse . If she accepts Chen Baili as her teacher, she would surely have to leave Luo Cheng . Lu Shu had said, they just bought a house and should not leave .

Also, leaving with this priest would mean she could no longer be with Lu Shu!

Now, she simply had to sleep to become stronger, why must she go through hardships and sufferings? Lu Shu had never forced her to do cultivations!

Thick white fog suddenly started emanating from the Chaka salt lake . Chen Baili spun around and bellowed, “The remain is opening soon, everyone gather!”

The old priest’s sonorous voice seemed to travel for miles . In an instant, a flurry of activities could be seen in at the tents and countless people started emerging from them .

All the form teachers in the Heavenly Network started to organize their own students . Following that, the soldiers started to keep the supplies and ensure all practitioners were provided them .

The previous time, everyone suffered as supplies were not provided when the Beimang remain opened . Hence, this time supplies were well prepared . Field ration was given out in 15-day packs, and everyone was given a green field pack .

In a moment, the originally disorganized group of Daoyuan students seemed as if they were transformed into a battalion of soldiers ready to move out .

Lu Shu held Lu Xiaoyu’s small hand and gazed into the distance at the fog-covered surface of the salt lake . The remain was finally about to open .
