In the end, nothing happened…
The two policemen had no intention to speak to the Daoyuan form teacher because of this small matter and the Daoyuan class’ standing in the country was something everyone was aware of.
Lu Shu happily left for school. His luck with getting into the Daoyuan class with a Tier F aptitude not only let him observe any happenings but also provided a form of protection.
Reaching school and seeing Jiang Shuyi, Lu Shu had a sudden thought, can the exchange between me and Jiang Shuyi still continue?
Lu Shu pondered for half a day and decided it was no longer possible.
Previously, he sold Jiang Shuyi because he needed money but not anymore. Logically speaking, after he had taken 240k, he would not be lacking money anymore.
Even though both parties kept it a secret, if the exchange was to continue, would Jiang Shuyi’s family start to have suspicions?
It would definitely spell trouble for Lu Shu if Jiang Shuyi’s family suspected him.
Although Jiang Shuyi was a good person, what about his family?
On the night of the exchange, Jiang Shuyi spoke with a calm, firm voice and anyone could tell he was a kind person.
As for the reason to reject future exchanges, he could say he needed them for his training. He told Jiang Shuyi that he sold those two magical stones because he could still get them in the future and thus will not affect his training.
But the issue was that in the future, he could not just treat the magical stones as decorations. Hopefully, there would be a black market for trained and natural metahumans.
Where there’s light there’s darkness. Lu Shu felt that despite the Heavenly Network’s strict authority, the dark side of the metahumans was bound to appear.
That would be interesting.
What surprised Lu Shu was that Xi Fei suddenly announced a day break for Daoyuan class and for everyone to self-train at home.
And the school side suddenly notified a night class…
Luo Cheng international school never had night classes for a long time which made everyone uncomfortable. The school’s teachers would really grab any opportunity. As soon as the Daoyuan class announced the break, they resumed the night classes…
In reality, the Luo Cheng international teachers and principal were quite desperate. Although having the Daoyuan class set up in the school might seem prestigious, this wasn’t the case.
It was a happy occasion at the beginning as it suggested that the officials valued the school highly but after a while, they realized that the two education systems had an awkward connection.
The school principal was desperate, what is going to happen to the enrollment rate?
In the end, our school’s results will plummet!
To convince the teachers that without night classes, the students would go home and revise was as impossible as convincing them that ghosts exist… The thought of this made the principal anxious…
As an attempt at atonement, Lu Shu went home and made Lu Xiaoyu fried tomato eggs. To stay in school with the rest of the students for night classes was impossible.
This not only applied to him but the rest of the Daoyuan class students as well. Everyone hurried home to continue their training.
At this point in time, all the Tier B aptitude students had already completed one large cycle and the mysterious matter chapter of the Yinyang Kinship of the Three was reaching the end. Seeing that the Daoyuan class was going to impart the next step of training method, the Tier C, D, E and F aptitude students were becoming anxious.
During the training of the mysterious matter chapter, the difference was still not obvious but now that others were going to start on the next chapter while you’re still at the first, this was troubling.
If it was a race, you have not finished your first round while others had already begun on their second.
Most students in the Daoyuan class came from a rich family and the limited amount of magical locations were all monopolized by them…
Lu Shu felt that the Heavenly Network was extremely smart to tell the students about locations rich in magical energy which saved them from having to provide such locations which would be harder to manage…
The world was all about survival of the fittest and one could only blame himself for not having the money to buy such locations.
Lu Xiaoyu was delighted from a mouth of the fried eggs and Lu Shu was relieved.
In the middle of the meal, Lu Shu suddenly experienced a loud thunder inside his head as he felt two strong powers crossing paths nearby. Their position was constantly changing as if they were heading from North to South!
After entering the second nebula, Lu Shu had become more receptive to power waves and these waves were so sudden that Lu Shu thought… Could this be related to why Daoyuan class suddenly had a day break?
Lu Shu was about to leave to check out the waves he felt when Lu Xiaoyu clung to him, “I felt it too. You need to bring me along, I promise I won’t be a burden.”
Lu Shu frowned. Lu Xiaoyu was already a Class E and to defeat someone like Liu Li with one fist was not an issue. It’s just a look anyways and Lu Xiaoyu has to face this chaotic world herself one day. After all, an incubated flower would not survive long.
This was Lu Shu’s view in life. Having been through countless tough times, he never felt a need to fully protect Lu Xiaoyu and to give her a worry-free life. Doing so would not be beneficial to her.
It was through his own experiences that he lived so practically.
The both of them cautiously jumped across the roofs in the night time, and one benefit about rushing on the roofs was that no surveillance camera would catch them.
Who would even install surveillance on the roof?
It was at this moment when Lu Shu noticed that Lu Xiaoyu’s speed wasn’t too different from his and got a better idea about her potential.
This young lady has gotten stronger.
At that point in time, there seemed to be a commotion developing in the south. Huge bright lights lit up the entire Wang Cheng bridge, spanning across the Luo river, which was one of the main junction connecting the new district and the old district where Lu Shu lived.
Lu Shu led Lu Xiaoyu up a tall building and stared in that direction, only to be shocked at the sight of 7 black coats, Xi Fei included, chasing after 3 men who were escaping towards the North for their lives.
In a split second, the man in the front suddenly turned around and struck his palm towards the ground. Upon the impact, spikes appeared from the ground of the bridge which headed towards Xi Fei and the rest.
Lu Shu was shocked. Aren’t those people the same ones which someone mentioned of the Golden Foundation forums? What are the three metahumans who robbed the Ezhou bank doing in Luo Cheng?
But Xi Fei and the rest had great teamwork and were well versed in battle as they managed to dodge aside from the earth spikes. One of the black coats struck the spike back at the man in front but was kicked aside by a muscular-looking man beside him.
During this lightning-speed exchange, a yellow talisman from within that black coat’s hand flew towards the other party and upon contact, there was an explosion!
But… besides a few scratches and slightly burnt marks, the man did not suffer any significant damage!
This man had speed and a strong defense which made Lu Shu take a deep breath. Is this the power of a Class D strength type?!
No wonder he could escape from Ezhou!
