Chapter 153: The Original Inheritance and the Pact (1/2)
A siren rang out while Ai Hui was on his way back to the training hall Troops of anxious ele everyone that things were under control and that they should stay at home as much as possible
Ai Hui had a bad feeling about this He could feel that the elementalists’ were tense like he had never seen before
He kept his head down, silently passing through the streets and headed toward the Vanguard Training Hall
Both the noodle shop girl and Duanhun had already left
Fatty’s face was filled with panic, but seeing Ai Hui allowed hih of relief He asked, ”What’s happening outside? Why does it seem so chaotic?”
”I have no idea,” Ai Hui said, shaking his head ”So must have happened”
”Is there anything Lou Lan can help with?” Lou Lan chimed in with his head tilted
Ai Hui let out a short burst of laughter upon seeing Lou Lan’s cute actions before replying, ”Not for now, but I’h”
Fatty knew Ai Hui like the back of his hand He already knew that so was amiss from the moment he saw Ai Hui’s expression ”Is the situation really that bad?” Fatty asked
”I can’t say for sure yet,” Ai Hui replied flatly He knew that he would not be able to stay out of it this time
The reward he received came with certain expectations Moreover, Ai Hui knew that the city’s strength was considerably limited The teachers may be powerful, but their pitiful cohters
His worries about the blood poison incident worsening appeared to be co true
”Why are you still standing here?” Ai Hui asked while glaring at Fatty ”You should be training!”
Fatty could see that Ai Hui was in a foul mood Dejected, Fatty silently retreated to a corner to train
”Don’t worry Ai Hui, Lou Lan will definitely help you!” Lou Lan cheered
Ai Hui smiled and thanked Lou Lan
Considering the Induction Ground’s sluggish response, it was not exactly surprising that the situation had worsened
If the situation continued to deteriorate, there would be nowhere to escape to Based on their current strength, they would likely end up as food for the blood fiends once they left the city Furthermore, his master and the others were still here It was impossible for Ai Hui to sit back and watch as they succumbed to the disaster
He was suffering frohts
He was still too weak The thought of facing the blood poison disaster with his nificant Ai Hui was not even certain that he could contribute much to the city’s defensive efforts
After all, what could a student who had only recently activated four palaces accomplish?
These unbearable thoughts were suffocating Ai Hui He had been a free spirit in the Wilderness, where his only concern was his own survival Now, he was tied down by the lives of so many others whoxiu, Lou Lan, and Fatty
He took a deep breath to dispel the wild thoughts flooding his mind and started to train
Having just activated both of his foot palaces, he had yet to properly analyze them
Ai Hui was soon deeply i
The sky began to darken as time quietly passed A student hurriedly rushed over to inform Ai Hui that he was to return to the academy immediately
Ai Hui did not hesitate in the slightest
Upon reaching the academy, he was summoned to the dean’s office
The dean looked as if he had aged ten years, and the hair along his terohite He siven ht to the point of why I’ve called you here today The first thing I’d like to settle is your reward Student Duanmu should have already spoken to you about this Feel free tell s such as inherited knowledge, ele that the academy can provide”
Ai Hui replied without delay, ”Dean, I hope to learn the [Big Dipper] technique”
”[Big Dipper]?” the dean asked, a little surprised ”Thisyou well The [Big Dipper] is Central Pine Acadeh it isn’t a lost skill, it still has its distinct features Learning it is noDipper] requires the trainee to have seven strong palaces Oh, I’ ing you to ask for the [Big Dipper] He just loves to study such things”
The dean sole from his past
He walked toward the bookcase, pressing his pal the bookcase, dazzling Ai Hui The next ht appeared all over the bookcase in a picturesque fashi+on, each one about the size of a fist
The dean retrieved a ball that looked like a dark nebula The lump of black vapor in his hand was scattered with tiny dots of light and was extre Ai Hui came to a sudden realization that every one of these balls of light contained an inheritance
His gaze fell on the nebula Could this be the [Big Dipper]? How is this thing accessed?
Having never seen so like this before, Ai Hui was filled with curiosity and anticipation Ai Hui thought of himself as a country bumpkin without much experience
The dean noticed Ai Hui’s nervous anticipation and laughed He was reer days, back when he first laid eyes on an inheritance The sense of nostalgia invoked by this memory seemed to have cleared up his mind quite a bit
”Put your hand on it,” instructed the dean
Ai Hui carefully placed his hand on the nebula in the dean’s hand
