Spare Me, Great Lord!

As the night arrived, the society seemed to be unaffected by the new wave of metahumans. Countless vehicles zoomed by on the brightly colored roads during the after work peak hour rush.

While news about metahumans was still spreading, news regarding overseas metahumans forming gangs was the most common. This had become a dinnertime topic for most households.

But local news related to metahumans were hardly mentioned. This should be credited to the black coats for being able to keep this news and informations from the public and to maintain social stability.

After cooking dinner for Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Shu left for school. He wanted to celebrate and made fried eggs with eggplants. To him, it was a good thing that his awakening did not affect his daily life.

Awakening did not give him an extra egg to eat, nor did it give him better clothing.

But there was a slight difference now. Even though getting stinky tofu from the lottery was unlucky, Lu Shu did not mind it at all as he could earn some money from it.

Lu Shu was a very down to earth person. Just like that and without stealing or causing harm, he was satisfied with earning a little money.

As he flashed his night pass and entered the school, the security guards were scrutinizing everyone carefully. Even the security systems in the school were upgraded and just a few days ago, security cameras were set up at every corner.

At the entrance, even the scanning gates one would usually find at airports were set up…

Being under such conditions, everyone couldn’t help but become more serious.

The main point here could be represented by the word ‘ritual’.

For example, during a funeral, it was a ritual for everyone to wear dark colored clothing.

And doing this would also affect their moods.

Right now, Luo Cheng International School had a totally different environment in the night compared to the day. Even Lu Shu had become a little more serious entering the school as if he was participating in some secretive mission.

As the security and confidentiality surrounding the Daoyuan class turned up a notch, the contents of the classes should be becoming more in-depth.

Lessons had started and Xi Fei brought and distributed a box of books to the class.

Lu Shu picked one up and saw- ‘The kinship of the three’.

“Is this about the training methods?” Someone asked.

“… not sure, but looks like it!”

Xi Fei stood on the podium and smiled at the excited students, “Did you guys think this contains the training methods? No, it’s just the introduction.”

Lu Shu had a sudden realization. Because of the Daoyuan class, he had been concerning himself with matters related to Daoism and this ‘The kinship of the three’ was written by a famous priest.

If this really contained the training methods, then the black coats would not have been so secretive about things as this book could be easily obtained.

Seemed like the black coats were still paranoid about the issue of confidentiality and by starting with the basics, they still had some time to properly manage everything.

Xi Fei held up a ‘The kinship of three’ and asked, “Does anyone know this… Forget it, I’ll explain directly.”

“From Xi Fei’s distress, +51…”

Lu Shu was stunned. How in the world did that situation give him distress points? Could it be that Xi Fei recalled the previous time he had asked Lu Shu a question and decided not to do so again?

If not for the distress points, Lu Shu would not have realized…

Xi Fei gave Lu Shu a glance and continued, “In the earliest of time, there are theories about elixirs, ancient weapons and cultivating health techniques but we shall leave these for later. Let’s talk about the ways of the Dao first.”

“Dao (The Way) that can be spoken of is not the Constant Dao’ The name that can be named is not a Constant Name. Nameless, is the origin of Heaven and Earth; The named is the Mother of all things. Thus, the constant void enables one to observe the true essence. The constant being enables one to see the outward manifestations. These two come paired from the same origin……”

Xi Fei paused for a moment and continued, “Whether or not it’s possible to achieve immortality, no one knows but what I can assure you is that the world is now different.”

Lu Shu could tell that Xi Fei was not a trained educator and he was merely reading off the book and sharing some of his personal knowledge.

17 months ago, the world had its first changes as people started to awaken. While some people in training realized that their training methods started to produce actual results.

And within the next 17 months of research, magical powers had increased and more and more metahumans appeared. No one had really noticed it initially but by now, metahumans were everywhere.

And someone had discovered the most efficient method of training.

As of who this person was, Xi Fei did not mention. But Lu Shu felt that this man must be of great powers, probably at least a Class C.

As Xi Fei had mentioned, the magical energy of the world had only been increasing and no one could predict how the future world would turn out.

After the first wave of expelling students, Daoyuan class’s contents were finally becoming more relevant!

Before this lesson, the students had no idea what was going on and when it all started but now they knew.

Even though the training methods were still not taught, Lu Shu felt that he had gained a lot.

At this moment, Xi Fei took out a small bottle and inside was filled with some kind of flowing silvery white substance which glittered under the light, “This is the sodium-potassium alloy. After the appearance of magical powers, some metals like this one started to develop new properties. Besides being heat resistant, they seemed to have become the medium for magical powers. Some of those in training even used them to make weapons.”

While Xi Fei was speaking, the sodium-potassium substance inside the small bottle suddenly started glowing!

Lu Shu was shocked. Could this be the legendary ingredient to make those magical items?

He did not really know what kind of items could be beneficial to those in training but there was this weird vibe to the science behind this…

Xi Fei laughed, “Of course, we are not talking about all those magical items in fairytales. Although I have not seen those items, I believe that they do exist somewhere in this world and in fact, some would be even more magical.”
