51 Theyre Always Watching (2/2)
This round of experimentations was a mixed bag for Han De. As he retrieved his amazingly average looking sword, a concerning idea popped up in his mind. He used the healing spell 'Golden Spark' on himself.
'...'
'You gotta be f#$%&#$ kidding me…'
One of the effects of his Luminescent Body was to passively absorb all Light Qi that touched him. The Golden Spark was a Light element spell and naturally used his Light Qi. The healing spell was absorbed by his body completely before it could have any effect on him. He tried it a few more times but the spell was completely absorbed every single time. Just to make sure, Han De cast it on a flower. It didn't do anything, but Han De could see that the healing effect worked correctly, it just couldn't 'heal' a flower.
Han De gritted his teeth and used his sword to make a small cut at the back of his left hand, just enough to make himself bleed. He used the Golden Spark without a delay. As expected, the spell couldn't even heal that small cut, it was absorbed by his body just like before.
'... I can't be healed by Light element spells? Seriously?!'
Han De fell into deep thought as he took a basic healing pill. One good thing about the Light element was that its healing effect was more potent compared to the other elements. His body constitution negated this advantage completely.
As he thought things through, he determined that under normal circumstances, the benefits outweighed the negatives. That 'moderate' increase in body cultivation efficiency was truly bullshit. If he increased his body cultivation he wouldn't get injured that often anyway. Even if he did, he could rely on the power of money and use healing pills instead. He already had a sizeable stack sitting in his storage ring.
'Still, this makes things tricky. I thought I could've healed myself during the fourth time…'
Han De was thinking about his recent dealings with the Heavenly Tribulations. He was getting more and more involved with them. The first time it was only a small chance and didn't trigger anything. The second time he lucked out by not having enough Fire Qi around. The third time… he didn't know what happened. But he was sure the if, no, when, the fourth one appeared, it would strike him without fail.
Profound Points were hard to get but easy to spend. He had to be prudent and couldn't just learn anything that came to his mind. Healing was one of the Light element's specialties. It also fits his circumstances pretty well. It was the perfect choice…
'Specializing in healing after this serves no purpose. Thankfully I noticed it early. I can still take some healing spells for the disciples and focus on something else instead. Maybe illusion wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.'

Jin Shu kept reflecting on the contents and the events of yesterday's lesson till early morning. She was at the 9th stage of the Qi Condensation realm, her body still needed sleep and sustenance. But she didn't care, her mind constantly worked throughout the night.
Just as every day for the last two weeks, Ning Bi came along early in the morning with Yao Qing and dragged her away. The three of them would sometimes visit open lectures, sometimes visit the pagoda, and sometimes just walk around the sect while answering Ning Bi's relentless questions about their families, or previous sects. In Jin Shu's case, the main topic would be the lower realm she was from.
In Jin Shu's mind, Ning Bi was an innocent, curious, and smart girl. When the three of them overheard some disciples talking about their master fixing the scoreboard in favor of Ning Bi, Jin Shu just ignored them and tried to steer Ning Bi clear of these low lives. However, she didn't expect Ning Bi to disappear into thin air and start brutally beating them up without any shred of hesitation. The innocent image of Ning Bi was shattered to bits.
5 minutes later, Ning Bi was still one-sidedly beating these disciples up. They were all at the 10th stage of Qi Condensation, yet the 6 of them couldn't beat Ning Bi who was only at the 8th stage. They had many bones broken and had lost some of their teeth. The street they were on was already partially red.
Jin Shu was watching all of this in a daze. She glanced at the Yao Qing on her side. Just as she had expected, Yao Qing was watching the spectacle without any expressions. Her fellow disciple's lack of reaction allowed her to regain her reason. Yao Qing was truly wary of Ning Bi.
*Crack*
After hearing the cracking sound of another broken leg, Jin Shu couldn't watch it any longer and sent a voice transmission to both Ning Bi and Yao Qing.

Of course, the three of them were completely oblivious to the arrogant young master past of their master. The cultivation idiot did indeed beat up people in the middle of his own sect. However, no one in their right mind would bring up those past issues, and even if they do, they certainly wouldn't tell them to his disciples.
Ning Bi's fist stopped in mid-air. What her elder sister said made sense. In the past, her master had taken her side before, but now she realized this probably affected him more than she imagined. Reputation in a sect was important. In fact, it was probably critical for the sole heir of the sect. Suddenly, Ning Bi fell into a dilemma. She wanted to teach these trash their place for disrespecting her master, but doing so would hurt her master's position in the sect.
As Ning Bi's face kept changing expressions, Jin Shu understood the gist of it, she sighed and explained.

Ning Bi looked at Jin Shu, then lowered her head while nodding. Then she heard Yao Qing's voice transmission.
>
Jin Shu thought for a while, but it didn't seem that feasible in her mind.
>
Yao Qing shrugged, that didn't matter for her.

Jin Shu frowned, but before she could answer Ning Bi interjected.

Three disciples looked at each other for a while. Then they silently left, leaving the 6 bloody and passed out disciples on the ground.
In Jin Shu's mind, Ning Bi was now an honest, curious, smart and deeply vindictive girl.
