Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Chapter 58 Self-revelation [Requesting votes at the beginning of the month!]

Although School Head Lu had just fiercely denied it, as elders of the academy, they all understood that there was a set process for igniting the cauldron, established by tradition. Normally, as long as a teacher followed these procedures step by step, it was unlikely for anything to go wrong, and they usually succeeded.

However, this process was completely unrelated to Zhang Xuan's approach... Thus, in the eyes of everyone present, this super genius was just messing around, and they never expected him to actually succeed in igniting it!

In an instant, everyone simultaneously turned their gazes toward Yu Xiaoyu.

"I... I really succeeded! I can absorb Origin qi now..."

Yu Xiaoyu didn't expect so many people to look her way, even School Head Lu was full of curiosity, which caused her face to turn red, and her voice lost the firmness it had before.

"Once the Furnace is lit, it naturally becomes possible to absorb and Forge Origin qi... Xiaoyu, I wonder what level of Source Pool you ignited, could you elaborate?"

Mo Yanxue couldn't help but look over.

"I... I also ignited a Spirit pinnacle, just like you, I can also absorb... also absorb 140 strands of Origin qi a day," Yu Xiaoyu said, looking up.

"Spirit pinnacle?"

Mo Yanxue showed a skeptical look.

"Yes... don't you believe me?" Yu Xiaoyu asked, a hint of panic in her voice.

"It's not that I don't believe, I just want to check..."

Mo Yanxue was about to say the rest of the word "test" when she was interrupted once again by Dean Lu Mingrong.

"As long as it's activated, that's good. Go back and get used to it, and start absorbing the Origin qi to fill your Source Pool as soon as possible!"

With his discernment ability, Dean Lu Mingrong clearly saw that Yu Xiaoyu had not succeeded. Since he had spoken in such a way, he must be following City Lord Yu's command not to let Zhang Xuan be embarrassed, which aligned with his own intentions. Thus, not only would he not expose the truth, but he would also help cover it up.

"Yes!"

Nodding repeatedly, Yu Xiaoyu turned around to leave.

In front of others, she pretended not to care much, but in the presence of her close friend, she still felt somewhat guilty.

"Hold on..."

She had only taken two steps when an unhappy voice sounded from behind her: "You ignited the Furnace? Why didn't I feel it?"

"..."

Yu Xiaoyu trembled and turned around, immediately seeing Zhang Xuan with a deep frown standing behind her, his face full of confusion.

"I, I..." Yu Xiaoyu didn't know how to respond, feeling her body stiffening.

I'm covering for you, supporting you, and yet, you yourself destroy the facade...

That's not how you play the game!

Not only her expression, but the pleased looks on the faces of Dean Lu Mingrong, Ran Qingxu, and others nearby stiffened at the same time...

They thought that if Yu Xiaoyu cooperated, they wouldn't need to think of another solution, and today's matter could be glossed over with ease. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine Zhang Xuan to blow his own cover... the headline isn't even right now...

Big brother... can't you make it a little easier for everyone?

A method deduced from the Heavens' Order was definitely suited for this Yu Xiaoyu, but why hadn't it been successfully ignited?

Too strange!

Just as they were all pulling in different directions, Liu Mingyue, who had been closing her eyes and practicing, suddenly stood up, looked at Zhang Xuan with disdain, and said, "There's no need to test. I can testify that Yu Xiaoyu didn't ignite the cauldron at all! This teacher Zhang doesn't know how to guide others in their practice..."

"You testify? With what can you testify?"

Feeling as if her scalp was about to explode, Ran Qingxu hurriedly chided.

What kind of people are these...

Yesterday, in order to cover up for Zhang Xuan, she saved face at great cost, even though she could have died at any moment, and felt relieved. But today, even though she was still helping cover up the lie, her heart had never felt relieved...

Such sudden shocks; she would be scared to death sooner or later.

"I can testify with myself. I've just completely Forged the Lingyun Beast's Blood that teacher Zhang fed me, and the Source Pool is still calm and waveless. There's been no ignition of the so-called Furnace, and I haven't succeeded, I don't believe she could!"

Liu Mingyue's head held high, her gaze was confrontational: "Yu Xiaoyu, do you dare to verify face to face, or just admit that you are lying!"

Yu Xiaoyu: "I..."

Mo Yanxue noticed something was off with her best friend, "Xiaoyu, what's going on? Speak up!"

"It's... I was afraid that teacher Zhang would be embarrassed, so I deliberately, deliberately..."

Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, Yu Xiaoyu had no choice but to start speaking with her face flushed red. Of course, telling the truth would have disgraced her father, so she had to take the blame herself.

However, not saying anything might have been better; as soon as she admitted it, the crowd immediately erupted.

"Isn't this lying?"

"After all this fuss, this teacher Zhang Xuan, he just doesn't understand cultivation..."

"Despicable, to deceive us like this!"

...

Amidst the commotion, especially Yu Feng and the others, all were so angry they clenched their fists as if they were about to charge over and confront Zhang Xuan at any moment.

"Dean, teacher Zhang is nothing but an ignorant impostor, such a person doesn't deserve to be a teacher! I officially report him for deceiving people, and for teaching useless cultivation techniques..."

Seeing the righteous indignation of the crowd, Liu Mingyue did not hesitate any longer, immediately unleashing the anger she had been suppressing in her heart.

Hmph, you embarrassed me, now I'll embarrass you ten thousand times over...

Just as she basked in her pride, convinced that this young man would be discredited, her body suddenly stiffened.

"Boom!"

A powerful aura burst forth from inside her body, and in an instant, the dense Origin qi around her began to churn and rush into her body.

"Is this... igniting the Furnace and starting to absorb Origin qi?"

A moment of stunned silence.
