Chapter 264 - Inscription Master (1/2)

In the past 3 days, Xiao Fang had only been able to learn 2 inscriptions with the help of Xue Li and Xiao Hei. Unfortunately, neither inscription could be used for the Concealment Formation he now wanted to learn, so he was no closer to making his first Formation than Bai Fan was.

Xiao Fang assumed it would take them at least a week to learn all 3 of the Inscriptions required for this Formation, then maybe another week to learn how to put them all together.

However, to his surprise, Ru Ji's book accelerated his learning curve several times over, and he was able to learn one of the 3 inscriptions in just under an hour.

The inscription he made glowed on the special piece of inscription paper, telling him that he was successful, but when he tried it again, he wasn't able to make it glow.

'It seems I still need more practice,' he thought.

For the next hour, Xiao Fang was able to make the inscription paper glow a few more times, but never consistently. He could feel himself getting the hang of it, but he knew he needed to spend at least a few more hours with it back home before moving onto the next inscription.

”Long Wang, I did it,” Bai Fan said excitedly.

Although she was able to learn it fairly quickly like him, much of it was due to his help. For the past 2 hours they've been pointing out each other's mistakes, but it was a lot easier for him to see her mistakes when he used his [ Spirit Perception ] technique.

Xiao Fang was about to congratulate Bai Fan, but then he suddenly heard someone coming. Bai Fan watched him curiously as he pulled his blindfold down from his forehead to his eyes again. A few moments later, she heard the door to the room suddenly burst open. When she looked back at who it was, her eyes suddenly widened.

”Su... Su... Supreme Elder,” Bai Fan immediately bowed her head as if she got caught being somewhere she wasn't supposed to be.

”When I learned that someone had sneaked into my study space, I almost couldn't believe it. So it was you, Bai Fan,” Supreme Elder Xue Jinghua said as her frown disappeared.

Supreme Elder Xue Jinghua was Xue Li's mother, but also her Inscription Master, and also the Head Elder supervising this Club.

When Xue Jinghua received the notification that someone without authorization had entered this room, she rushed over as fast as she could. It wouldn't have taken her so long if she weren't in the middle of something, but she knew she would've been able to find out who it was, even if they already left.

”Even though you are the daughter of a fellow Supreme Elder, you should know that it doesn't mean that you can go wherever you please,” she half scolded Bai Fan.

”Supreme Elder Xue, we didn't mean to offend you. We didn't want the other girls disturbing us while we studied, so Xue Li told us it would be alright if we studied in here,” Bai Fan replied.

”We?” Xue Jinghua replied in confusion.

She finally noticed Xiao Fang in the room and he was seated on a chair not far from Bai Fan, the sight of which shocked her immensely.

”You... how did you...”

The reason she was shocked was because she wasn't notified of his presence. The formation she had set up in this room was one that could detect anyone's natural aura. For him not to be detected would mean that he was somehow able to completely mask his natural aura.

'He must be wearing a cultivation treasure,' she thought.

Even if he was wearing a cultivation treasure, she still couldn't believe that her formation couldn't detect him.

'There's no such treasure that can completely erase one's natural aura, not even the Royal Court has anything of that caliber. If such a thing existed, it would certainly be big news, and I'd definitely hear about it. Whoever this boy is, he certainly isn't ordinary,' Supreme Elder Xue Jinghua thought.

She didn't want to offend someone that could potentially have a powerful backer, not only was she doing it for her own safety, but also for the sect's. Seeing that he was so young and already in the Phoenix-Class confirmed it for her, he definitely wasn't ordinary.

”Who are you?” She finally asked him.

”I am Long Wang, Phoenix-Class 5th Division,” Xiao Fang replied.

The name was unfamiliar to her, but she wasn't surprised by that. She even suspected that he was using a fake name, so it made his back ground even more mysterious.

Seeing the two open books in front of him, she became a bit curious.

”You're already learning how make a Formation? Could it be that you both already learned all 69 Inscriptions?”
