Chapter 216: Chapter 193 Disciple Ranking

...

Some noble students were placed in the same class as commoners, but most students had already been assigned to higher-level classes. This course was called "Understanding and Practice of Martial Arts Skills," meant for those with foundational knowledge of Qi and required learning how to utilize it in martial arts skills.

Yan Xiaobao was expected to enter a class known as the "Disciple Ranking Cultivation Method," as he was considered one of the geniuses in the class. Yet Yan Xiaobao chose an additional class open to anyone.

The history of cultivation in the Sun Kingdom was a subject that anyone could enroll in, though it was also deemed as a course that did not assist students in their cultivation. Rarely would anyone choose it. When Li Yuan saw Yan Xiaobao opt for it, he was greatly shocked.

The courses were divided into morning, noon, and afternoon sessions, all taught by teacher Li Yuan. The cultivation history of the Sun Kingdom was scheduled for the afternoon, which slightly annoyed Yan Xiaobao, though there was nothing he could do about it.

To make matters worse, after Yan Xiaobao walked toward the corner where the Sun Kingdom’s cultivation history class was held, Wang Julong stood up from his seat and followed him.

Initially, Yan Xiaobao felt a little surprised to see this young master following him, but he soon became extremely annoyed, as the two held mutual disdain for each other.

At first, a few commoners intentionally wanted to join Yan Xiaobao in the class to build a relationship with him, but as soon as Wang Julong sat beside Yan Xiaobao, everyone quickly abandoned the idea of joining this class. The tension caused teacher Li Yuan to sigh deeply.

Initially, he was cheering internally when he saw Yan Xiaobao heading toward the history class of the Sun Kingdom. It filled him with hope—the hope of having two geniuses divided into separate tiers. However, after seeing Wang Julong follow shortly afterward, the white-haired teacher’s cheer soon turned into a mourning cry, as Li Yuan could feel himself suddenly aging ten years, no longer worried about loneliness.

Lan Feng chuckled, sensing the agitation in Yan Xiaobao’s soul. "Don’t worry," he said in his usual cheerful voice. "Haven’t you heard of the saying ’keep your friends close, but your enemies closer’?"

"Of course I know about it," Yan Xiaobao sighed. "But this person doesn’t even deserve to be considered an enemy. If anything, he’s just a slight bump in the road."

Hearing Yan Xiaobao’s response, Lan Feng burst into laughter. It was clear that this white-haired boy had inherited some of Lan Feng’s arrogance after all their years of interaction. Although Yan Xiaobao claimed Wang Julong was merely a bump in the road, it was obvious this bump annoyed Yan Xiaobao even more than Deng Wu, who had proven to be a genuine threat to them. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Before choosing to completely ignore Wang Julong, Yan Xiaobao let out a dismissive snort. Instead, he reached into one of the pockets in his clothes and pulled out the non-combat skill scroll "Spark Star." Yan Xiaobao focused his full attention on the martial arts skill he had borrowed the previous day and reexamined all the patterns described.

"What specifically interests you about this skill?" Lan Feng asked, curious as he looked at the scroll in Yan Xiaobao’s hand. To him, it seemed like a very simple non-combat martial arts skill that allowed cultivators to ignite small sparks within their palms.

Teacher Li Yuan sighed deeply upon noticing the two boys at the back of the room paying him no attention yet again, redirecting his focus to his own research instead. One was reading, while the other was practicing. Teaching these two required unimaginable patience.

Yan Xiaobao ignored Lan Feng, and Phoenix didn’t press further, because he suddenly detected a trace of excitement within Yan Xiaobao’s soul. This excitement grew rapidly, and a radiant smile spread across the young boy’s face.

With smooth movements, Yan Xiaobao placed the scroll on the desk before him, then began forming a sequence of hand seals. He activated Qi from his lower Dantian and channeled it through his meridians in a specific pattern.

Lan Feng watched the whole process with curiosity, but suddenly noticed additional hand seals being added to the original Spark Star technique, which left him astonished. The Qi flow within the meridians underwent slight changes, and this change sparked amazement in Lan Feng’s eyes.

The Qi flowing through the meridians split into two streams, each of which shot out from Yan Xiaobao’s palms, colliding in the airspace between them with immense force and igniting a small flame.

Although the flame was small, as Yan Xiaobao continued to feed it, guiding his Qi through the meridians in a precise manner, it absorbed an external force that caused the flame to suddenly shoot up into the sky.

Lan Feng was stunned. "You..." He started to speak. "Don’t tell me you managed to...?" Before he could finish his sentence, the flame broke free from Yan Xiaobao’s control, roaring with power as it surged across the classroom.

Yan Xiaobao looked somewhat surprised but quickly reacted to the runaway flame, cutting off the Qi flow and extinguishing the fire, preventing it from causing harm to anyone or the surroundings.

A faint smile appeared on Yan Xiaobao’s face, as he was clearly pleased with the results of his experiment. Yet he had forgotten where he was, and soon noticed the stunned expressions of the students and even the teacher, all of whom were staring at him in shock over the flame he had conjured.

Teacher Li Yuan’s reason for being shocked was entirely different from that of the students. While the students realized that Yan Xiaobao was far stronger than they had originally thought and assumed it was due to regular martial arts techniques, teacher Li Yuan understood much more.
