17 Your Consumption is All Free
Seeing the girl he liked hugging another boy and shyly saying the word “like”, Lan Ke’s mind exploded with a bang, and his reason instantly disappeared, leaving only one thought:
Kill Yan Zhen!
He suddenly erupted with the aura of a 9-star Mystic Scholar, condensing Qi in his palm and forcefully slapping towards Yan Zhen’s face.
Yan Zhen, who had thoroughly read the script, naturally knew that Lan Ke would be enraged and launch a sneak attack, so he was prepared.
He activated the Imperial Blaze Art, mobilizing the extreme flame mystic power fused with Gold and Silver Fire from the fire seed of the technique, and punched out.
Fist against palm, ice mystic power against fire mystic power, producing a strong explosion.
Bang!
The two separated as soon as they touched. Lan Ke retreated three steps, while Yan Zhen also staggered and bumped into the wall behind him.
Just in terms of mystic power, 5-star Mystic Scholar Yan Zhen could only be evenly matched with 9-star Mystic Scholar Lan Ke. To determine the outcome, he had to use mystic techniques.
Feeling a burning pain in his palm, Lan Ke felt extremely humiliated. He didn’t expect Yan Zhen to react so quickly. Even in a hasty confrontation, he fought him to a draw.
How could a 5-star Mystic Scholar have such strong mystic power? He was a 9-star, and a top one at that. Even when facing a Mystic Master, he had the strength to fight. How could a mere 5-star Mystic Scholar be able to tie with him? He should have been completely crushed by him!
“Cousin, are you alright?”
Yan Meng’er hurriedly stepped forward to check on Yan Zhen’s condition. The latter shook his head, indicating that she didn’t need to worry.
“Lan Ke!” Yan Ruyu shouted coquettishly and protected Yan Zhen behind her. “You actually dare to openly violate the academy rules. As an advanced class student, you made a move against an intermediate class student. I’m going to report you to the law enforcement instructor!”
Mi Xue’er also disdainfully said, “A powerhouse on the Nine Stars List launching a sneak attack on a new student, truly shameless!”
Hearing the two girls’ words, Lan Ke’s reason quickly returned, and his expression slightly changed.
He looked around and found that the surrounding students were also casting strange gazes at him.
The academy clearly stipulated that only lower-level students could challenge higher-level students, but higher-level students couldn’t bully lower-level students.
Although Lan Ke wouldn’t face too severe punishment for openly violating the academy rules with his identity, it was still a loss of face. Moreover, he had also fought to a draw, making it even more embarrassing.
Lan Ke could already imagine the various ridicule from other opponents on the Nine Stars List.
He didn’t say anything else, glared fiercely at Yan Zhen, then turned and left, not even caring about his lackeys.
Yan Zhen didn’t stop him either. This part of the plot ended here. To deal with Lan Ke, he still had to wait until later.
Because of Lan Ke’s disruption, the four of them had no mood to eat anymore.
Yan Ruyu was worried that Lan Ke would still cause trouble for Yan Zhen, so she suggested going to find Instructor Yu Xuan to handle this matter.
In Instructor Yu Xuan’s independent office.
The reincarnated Instructor Yu Xuan wasn’t worried at all that Yan Zhen would really have an accident. Before long, Lan Ke would no longer be Yan Zhen’s match. The one who should be in trouble should be Lan Ke.
But she still agreed, saying that she would let Lan Ke’s instructor restrain the other party, so they didn’t need to worry.
“Thank you, Instructor Yu Xuan.”
“You’re welcome. You’re my disciple, so this is what I should do.”
Instructor Yu Xuan seemed to have forgotten about the ambiguity last night, showing her usual gentle smile.
Yan Zhen thought that he might as well take this opportunity to get closer to her to avoid affecting the subsequent plot.
In the afternoon, it was the mystic technique class, and the instructor in charge was none other than Instructor Yu Xuan.
She taught a palm technique called “Void-Breaking Seal”, which could externalize mystic power a short distance to achieve the effect of injuring people from afar.
Mystic power externalization was the mark of a Mystic Master. If one had the means to break through the void with mystic power before becoming a Mystic Master, their combat power would be significantly enhanced.
Of course, this couldn’t be compared to true mystic power externalization at all, because the Void-Breaking Seal consumed a lot of mystic power, had a very short flight distance, and the power was also reduced. It was only suitable for unexpected sneak attacks.
Instructor Yu Xuan demonstrated while explaining the key points, then let the students practice on wooden stakes while she observed and guided them from the side.
As a reincarnator, Mi Xue’er had long mastered this mystic technique, so she was just going through the motions, her mind completely on Yan Zhen next to her.
Yan Ruyu felt as if she had already learned the Void-Breaking Seal before, quickly grasping it to a good degree. From half a meter away, she slapped the wooden stake, leaving a faint palm print.
As for Yan Zhen, he was similar to Yan Ruyu, learning it very smoothly. The palm print he left was even more obvious than Yan Ruyu’s because his mystic power itself was very domineering.
Instructor Yu Xuan secretly paid attention to Yan Zhen. Seeing him smoothly learn the Void-Breaking Seal like in the previous life, she smiled slightly.
This meant that Yan Zhen had listened to her lecture attentively.
After the mystic technique class, it was free time.
The two girls invited Yan Zhen to go shopping together.
Yan Zhen knew what they were after, but he didn’t mind and readily agreed because he also wanted to buy some yellow paper and vermilion.
Just like at noon, the three of them first went to the junior class to find Yan Meng’er, then left the academy together and went to the street, or more precisely, to the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce in Silver Moon City.
The Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce had branches in the ten major cities of the Gallo Kingdom. The one in Silver Moon City was even larger in scale than the one in Martial Tang City.
Yan Zhen, according to the script, said that he was going to buy some yellow paper and vermilion and wouldn’t walk with them to avoid being used as a porter by them.
However, Mi Xue’er smiled and said, “Since we came out together, let’s walk together. We’ll go with you to buy yellow paper and vermilion first, and then we’ll buy our things after.”
Uh. Yan Zhen was at a loss for words because the script wasn’t written this way. Mi Xue’er should have said to him, “Then see you later, Little Brother Yan Zhen~”, not showing a little devil expression like now, looking like she was determined to make him carry bags.
“Won’t this be too much of a waste of time?”
“No. Walking and walking with friends is the joy of shopping~ Let’s go, let’s go.”
Saying that, Mi Xue’er actually boldly hugged Yan Zhen’s arm and pulled him forward, as if they were a newly confirmed shy couple.
Looking at their intimate backs, Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er glanced at each other, both becoming suspicious.
–Is Xue’er (Sister) getting more and more enthusiastic towards Yan Zhen (Cousin)?
With doubts in mind, the sisters hurriedly caught up with the two in front and came to the area selling talisman drawing tools.
“Yan Zhen, are you going to learn to draw talismans?”
“No, just buying them to practice calligraphy and cultivate the mind.”
“…Who are you trying to fool? Who uses yellow paper and vermilion to practice calligraphy!”
“Yeah, I’m fooling ghosts.”
After being stunned for a moment, Yan Ruyu reacted and said angrily, “Are you saying I’m a ghost?”
Yan Zhen politely curled the corner of his mouth.
“Hello, Butt Ghost.”
Hearing Yan Zhen joking about her butt again, Yan Ruyu was so angry that she couldn’t take it anymore. Yan Meng’er hurriedly comforted her, but Mi Xue’er became vigilant.
–How come it feels like Ruyu’s relationship with Little Brother Yan Zhen is much closer compared to the previous life?
She suddenly remembered.
In the morning during class, Yan Ruyu specifically went around to the other side to sit next to Yan Zhen. In the previous life, Yan Ruyu sat next to her and didn’t dare to get so close to Yan Zhen.
Could it be that the Ruyu of this life had changed her temperament?
Yan Zhen’s thoughts weren’t as complicated as the three girls’. After buying enough yellow paper and vermilion, he went to the counter to pay.
However, the cashier lady stared at him for a while, then politely asked, “May I ask if you are Young Master Yan Zhen from Martial Tang City?”
Yan Zhen was stunned. “It’s me. What’s the matter?”
The lady became even more respectful. “You are a supreme-level VIP of our chamber of commerce. Except for certain specific goods, all other consumption is completely free. You only need to have the invoice made out.”
Ah, this… again? Yan Zhen didn’t understand. The Chamber of Commerce in Martial Tang City gave him free stuff, but it was still free in Silver Moon City?
