Chapter 4 – Triple Tidal Palm Technique
“How could this be? There is no way on earth Ye Wei knows about the forbidden stances, these have to be wild guesses!” Xiao Qi was not pleased. His crazy eyes staring at Ye with rage and jealousy, as this was the first time he had been outshined in junior three.
And right in front of Miss Zi Yan!
This undermined his confidence like a face-numbing slap!
Zi Yan was evaluating the situation; if he got one of the answers correct it might have been luck, but three times out of three? The probability of him being that lucky was too low to even count. Her irises were black resembling shining onyx and they held great clarity, but the way she was looking at Ye Wei conveyed obscurity.
“Ye Wei, may I ask where exactly you gathered information about forbidden techniques at? How they can be formed into thirty-eight low level spirit stances, twelve mid level ones, and six high level ones?”
Zi Yan herself would have had the same answer as Xiao Qi. Thirty-six low level spirit stances, ten mid level spirit stances, and five high level spirit stances could be composed by combining the three runes that she mentioned earlier in the lecture. She thought that was true until recently when she had a chat with the vice principal about the Glacier rune set. During which he unintentionally mentioned forbidden stances, from there she did some research on them.
Ye Wei, an ordinary student from junior three, South Star Academy, should not possess such knowledge.
When passing on knowledge to students, tutors will never mention forbidden techniques, and most teaching materials will not mention forbidden techniques either. Only the Mystic Technique Encyclopaedia published by the Holy Conservatory, that has been amended twenty-eight times, contains this information about forbidden techniques.
Mystic Techniques Encyclopaedia is the most detailed archive of research from every corner of the vast world, from every corner of every continent. The depth of the research is so detailed it turns away the vast majority of potential readers, who are mostly talented scholars with exceptional understanding of runes and stances. The seventy-two book collection which is more than ten million words long is seen as an obstacle for the handful of dedicated researchers that study it. Sadly most of these souls finish taking their last breath without ever getting close to finishing the collection.
“Miss Zi Yan, it’s just a matter of experience. The more you read, the more knowledge accumulates in your mind and one’s educated guesses become more and more accurate. That’s how I knew the answers…” Ye Wei shrugged casually, as he answered Miss Zi Yan’s question.
This unbelievable exchange of words between Miss Zi Yan and Ye Wei was echoing in the student’s minds and now all eyes were on Ye Wei. They were wondering how Ye became so proficient on rune knowledge, and how he also knew about the otherwise unheard of forbidden techniques!
“Is this really Ye Wei standing in front of us? The supposedly inadequate waste of space with red Sentient?”
This thought was shared by the whole class, the prejudice slowly dissolved, replaced by admiration.
Xiao Qi tightened his fist, staring at Ye again with extreme prejudice. ‘So he knows a thing or two about runes, what of it? It’s not like he’s ever going to become anything useful. He can’t rub the red off his Sentient, and he will never ever become a Warrior!’
‘Gaining the attention of the class in one lecture does not grant you bragging rights for a lifetime, you’re still merely a one star Student, and I will get you back very very soon!’ He sat himself down, attempting to calm his aggravated self as his authority in class is being challenged.
Ye Wei’s Sentient is red, but if he could familiarise himself with rune knowledge, maybe he would have an extremely slim chance of becoming a Runemaster! He can try to follow Supreme Chen Feng’s footsteps, creating basic stances and little by little gain energy from the cosmos, therefore refining his Sentient.
An assumption appeared in Miss Zi Yan’s mind, ‘Maybe Ye Wei is not hopeless at practising martial arts, perhaps he stayed up too late reading about runes? That would explain why he fell asleep during the lecture. Maybe he’s walking the path of becoming a Runemaster?’
This idea raised Miss Zi Yan’s heartbeat. It is way more of a feat to train a Runemaster than to train a Warrior, it would be a hundred times more satisfying.
‘To become a Runemaster, soul sensitivity is of utmost importance… Let’s see what he’s got!’
Miss Zi Yan raised her head, excited.
