I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 252 Swearing

As dawn broke, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the empty bottle of "Bodhi Blood," a glint of excitement in her eyes. This item was indeed a treasure; just one bottle had allowed her to advance two levels, reaching level 30. With just one more soul ring, she could become a Soul Master.

Looking back at the bottle of "Bodhi Blood" left by Ye Lingling last night, Zhu Zhuqing struggled with her feelings for a moment before carefully putting it away.

As soon as it was fully light, she couldn't wait to go outside, wanting to ask her teacher to help her hunt for her third spirit ring.

……

early morning!

Xiao Wuji had just arrived at the library and hadn't even gone inside when a teacher stopped him in his way.

"You must be Xiao Wuji?"

Xiao Wuji glanced at him, realizing he didn't recognize him, and asked with some confusion, "Yes, it is. Did you need something from me?"

"It wasn't me!" The teacher waved his hand and replied, "It was Education Commissioner Meng! He wants you to go to the auditorium to see him as soon as you arrive."

"The Education Commission?"

Xiao Wuji nodded thoughtfully, thanked him, and then turned and ran towards the auditorium.

The main gate of the auditorium was wide open, and Xiao Wuji walked in without hesitation, where he saw several familiar faces.

While pondering the reason in his heart, he bowed respectfully to the three education commissioners at the head of the table without changing his expression, and said, "Student greets the three education commissioners!"

"Teacher, it's him, it's definitely him!"

Before the education commissioner could say anything, Xiao Wuji saw a chubby boy pointing at him, his eyes bloodshot and his body trembling, as if he had encountered some formidable enemy.

Xiao Wuji glanced at it and then looked away. This dismissive attitude greatly angered Flander and the other teachers.

However, Meng Shenji knew Xiao Wuji's character well; he would never harm a classmate without a reason. Therefore, he asked:
"Xiao Wuji, has some misunderstanding occurred between you two?"

"Reporting to the Education Committee! Yesterday, when Ye Lingling and I were fighting, this person suddenly rushed out and tried to kill me. I originally thought this person was some kind of assassin, so I hit him a little too hard."

"But it turned out that this person was a complete waste. Considering that no one would be so foolish as to send such an assassin, I spared his life!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wuji claim that he had fought Ye Lingling, the three education committee members' eyelids twitched involuntarily. Although Xiao Wuji claimed to be a support-type, it was obvious to everyone that he was a control-type, renowned for being the strongest in one-on-one combat. Moreover, as someone who could easily defeat a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul simply by virtue of his physical prowess, they couldn't imagine what would happen to Ye Lingling if she fought him.

However, Meng Shenji breathed a sigh of relief and said to a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, "Dean Flander, as you can see, this is all a misunderstanding."

A short-haired man next to Flander suddenly stepped forward and said indignantly, "Misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding to attack a classmate so violently? Even a fighting spirit wouldn't attack such a vulnerable part. Does the Dream Education Committee think we're weak and easy to bully?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuji sneered and said, "Yu Xiaogang, have you gone mad from copying books so much that you can't even understand human speech anymore?"

"It was clearly your student who ambushed me and tried to kill me. I'm already being lenient with the Education Commission by not killing him. After all, someone dying here would negatively impact the academy!"

"But you, on the other hand, can't even understand human speech and deliberately distorts the truth."

"According to you, if I sleep with your mother one day and get beaten up by your father, can I hold you accountable?" Xiao Wuji was never good-tempered. The reason he was cautious in the past was simply because he lacked strength. But now that he had found a powerful backer, he naturally didn't care how strong his opponent was.

"You, how dare you humiliate me like this..."

Yu Xiaogang was so angry by Xiao Wuji's few words that his face turned red and his neck thickened, but Xiao Wuji had no intention of letting him go. He had long disliked him, and now that he had a chance to openly humiliate him, Xiao Wuji naturally did not intend to miss it.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Is it because you're the Pope's old flame? Or because you were expelled from the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Clan? Or perhaps because of your pitiful soul power level?"

"enough!"

Flander roared, unleashing terrifying soul power that pressed down on Xiao Wuji, attempting to silence him, but it seemed to have no effect. No, it did have some effect; at least he stopped directing his attacks at Yu Xiaogang.

"Flander, are you planning to bully the weak?" Feeling the subtle pressure around him, a hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Wuji's eyes. Under the pressure of his soul power, the medicinal power within his body was being rapidly refined. Warm currents gushed out from his Yin and Yang, and his body felt waves of comfort.

"Give me more!" With this thought in mind, Xiao Wuji immediately curled his lips into a smile and launched into a barrage of questions:

"So Shrek Academy is this domineering, not even giving you a chance to explain?"

"Oh dear, I forgot, isn't your school's rule that a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master?"

"What's wrong? Haven't caused any trouble in days and you're itching to get back at it?"

"Enough, Xiao Wuji! They are teachers from the academy, no matter what. You should show them respect!"

Finally, Meng Shenji couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Xiao Wuji's sarcastic remarks with a dark face. How come he had never noticed before that this kid had such a foul mouth? He was so angry that he wanted to hit him!

He kicked Xiao Wuji out the door, then turned to comfort Flander and the others, who were on the verge of exploding. They could disregard the teachers' strength, but they couldn't disregard their students' talent. Those were all future Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and even Title Douluos!
Xiao Wuji, who had been kicked out of the door by Meng Shenji with a gentle force, got up from the ground, dusted off the footprints on his body, and said somewhat speechlessly:

"There are always troublemakers trying to stop me from making progress. Don't they know what kind of people their own students are?"

"However, this method of using soul power to suppress seems to allow me to refine the medicinal power faster. I can try it when I have time!"

After brushing the dust off his body, Xiao Wuji ran back to the library. Perhaps it was because the immortal herb his martial soul had absorbed contained the Dew of Hopeful Autumn Water, but his mental strength had recently improved significantly.

He used to get sleepy as soon as he started reading, and he would memorize the book before meals but forget the contents afterward. Now, however, his memory has improved significantly. He doesn't have a photographic memory, but he can remember things he's read two or three times.

"If I had this kind of memory in my past life, I would never have trouble learning English!"

He put down a book about life-type soul beasts, but he didn't find the soul beast he wanted. The ability to absorb, transfer, and store life was enough to cover the effects of most life-type soul skills. It would be very difficult to find a soul skill that was superior.

"The parasitic ability of dodder should belong to the category of consuming, perhaps I should look in that direction..."

Just as Xiao Wuji was about to ask someone where such books were, another guard appeared before him and said, "Count Xiao, His Highness the Crown Prince requests your presence!"

Xiao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "I'll go right away!"
