50. Yan Zhen Takes a Leave
When Yan Zhen woke up, he found that he had advanced to a six-star Mystic Disciple and also completed the system task.
The reward was “Special Trump Card: Burn.”
[Special Trump Card – Burn: When used, it can ignite the fire of desire in the target. Men will transform into Teddy(1)*, and women will turn into roasted chicken. The effect depends on the difference in realms between the host and the target.]
“…”
The special trump cards were getting weirder and weirder.
What was the use of this? It made it seem like he was a lust cultivator. Those that directly drained blood were much better than these bizarre ones.
Yan Zhen opened the system inventory and took a look at all the special trump cards he had collected.
There were two summoning cards, one was “Monk on Fire,” and the other was “Stick Practitioner.”
[Special Trump Card – Stick Practitioner: When used, it summons a monkey with a hairy face, thunderous mouth, and holding a stone staff. Its realm is on par with the opponent’s and is very easy to lose control. When “Monk on Fire” is present, its strength slightly decreases, but the risk of losing control is eliminated. The ultimate move “Which Stick Do You Want” randomly chooses between a water stick and a fire stick. The water stick overturns rivers and seas, while the fire stick sets ablaze ten miles.]
It was full of potholes, but Yan Zhen held back from vomiting.
It seemed that summoning cards were only obtained when he learned cultivation techniques. “Monk on Fire” originated from the “Imperial Blaze Art” task, while “Stick Practitioner” originated from the “Ancestral Talisman Scripture” task.
Apart from that, the rest were all skill cards and were all biased towards support. They didn’t have much connection with each other, and he didn’t know if they could form a card set.
He would have to think about it carefully when he had time.
Yan Zhen got up and stretched his body, then washed up and changed clothes. When he arrived at the dining room, all four girls were there.
It seemed that he woke up late today.
“Are we eating dumplings today?”
“Mm, the instructor made them all. There are some with chives and some without. Which kind do you want to eat, Cousin?”
“I’m fine with both.”
“Then try the ones with chives first. They smell so good.”
As she spoke, Yan Meng’er quickly picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and fed it to Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen picked up his own chopsticks and turned his head to accept it, not feeling anything inappropriate at all.
“Delicious.”
The instructor’s cooking skills were indeed excellent.
The eyes of the other three girls changed slightly, thinking that Yan Zhen had already become so accustomed to Meng’er feeding him.
The two of them must often do this when eating lunch together.
— So sour!
“It’s good that you like it. Eat more. I made a lot. Try this pork filling one.”
Instructor Yu Xuan also picked up a dumpling and put it in Yan Zhen’s bowl. She seemed to be in a very good mood. Her gentle smile had a magical power that made people immerse in it.
“Thank you, Instructor.”
Yan Zhen had just picked it up and eaten it when another pair of chopsticks stretched over, held by Mi Xue’er.
“Little brother Yan Zhen, this is an egg filling one. It has a unique flavor. Try it and see.”
Yan Zhen couldn’t refuse, so he accepted it with his mouth and commented after eating it, “It’s more fragrant, but it doesn’t have the obvious sweetness of pork.”
“There are also shrimp dumplings.”
Yan Ruyu’s face was slightly red. Her jade-like fingers gently pushed the plate with only a small half of shrimp dumplings left in front of Yan Zhen.
“Shrimp dumplings are my favorite.”
Yan Zhen quickly started eating, stuffing his mouth full.
After eating, Yan Zhen pondered for a moment before speaking, “Instructor, I want to tell you something.”
Instructor Yu Xuan tilted her head. “Go ahead.”
“It’s just… I want to take a leave, for at least half a month.” Yan Zhen paused and added, “I won’t attend anything except for exams.”
Hearing the word “leave,” Instructor Yu Xuan thought that Yan Zhen was feeling unwell again and became nervous. But what did he say after that? He won’t attend anything except for exams? Was he rebelling?
Right, in the previous life, he seemed to have taken a leave like this too. It made her very angry at the time. She finally met a top-notch seedling, but he didn’t want to attend classes, so she scolded him severely.
Then the two of them made an agreement. If Yan Zhen got first place in the monthly test, Instructor Yu Xuan would approve his leave. If he couldn’t get first place, it would be considered as skipping classes.
Naturally, he got the leave later, but she didn’t know what he took the leave for. When she asked him, he wouldn’t say.
“What do you want to take a leave for?”
The other three girls also stared at Yan Zhen curiously.
To learn alchemy with the beautiful sect master in the crystal space, Yan Zhen silently said in his heart.
“I feel that the current courses are not very helpful to me. I want to cultivate on my own.”
As he spoke, he revealed his cultivation of a six-star Mystic Disciple.
“You advanced again?”
Only Yan Ruyu felt greatly surprised. Yan Meng’er, Mi Xue’er, and Instructor Yu Xuan all appeared quite calm because they had expected it.
This made Yan Zhen a bit puzzled. In the script, when he revealed his six-star Mystic Disciple cultivation in Instructor Yu Xuan’s office, the instructor herself and the three girls present at that time were all very shocked.
How come when he performed, only Yan Ruyu was shocked? The other three should also be shocked.
— Am I not awesome enough? You’re making me look very dull.
Yan Zhen’s eyes were resentful as he continued, “The step from six stars to seven stars is a small threshold. I want to cross it quickly. Attending classes takes up too much time.”
“But you can’t take such an absurd leave. Aren’t you putting Instructor Yu Xuan in a difficult position?” Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, her tone implying that she didn’t know what to say to him.
“I can guarantee that I will definitely get first place in this monthly test. I absolutely won’t lose face for the instructor and you all.”
After saying this, Instructor Yu Xuan should agree, Yan Zhen thought.
However, Instructor Yu Xuan shook her head. “No need to guarantee that.”
“Huh?”
“Yan Zhen, I can approve your leave, but you must accept the instructor’s daily inspection. If it is found that your cultivation is stagnating, then obediently come back to class. Can you do that?”
“This…”
How is this different from the script again?
Is a daily inspection more important than getting first place in the monthly test?
Instructor, please wake up. The results of the disciples’ monthly test are related to your performance and bonus!
Instructor Yu Xuan didn’t care about performance and bonuses at all. She only knew that after Yan Zhen got his leave, he disappeared as if he had vanished. He only appeared before and after exams.
Now that they lived together, she had gotten used to seeing him every day. Her heart felt empty if she missed him for a day.
She put on a stern face and pretended to be angry. “If you don’t agree, then forget it. The instructor can’t completely let you go unchecked.”
Seeing her expression was off, Yan Zhen quickly agreed.
“I promise to appear in front of the instructor on time every morning for inspection.”
“What if you can’t make it on time?”
“Definitely on time!”
“Hmph, little slick.”
Instructor Yu Xuan showed a smile again, and Yan Zhen also grinned. However, the three girls felt a bit disappointed.
Especially Mi Xue’er and Yan Ruyu.
Yan Zhen not attending classes meant that they couldn’t continue sitting together with him.
Then what was the point of these classes? Mi Xue’er also wanted to take a leave. As a reincarnator, she didn’t need to attend classes in the first place. Cultivating on her own was more efficient.
“Cousin Ruyu, Senior Sister Xue’er, I won’t be here, but you two should also cultivate well.”
Yan Zhen warmly waved goodbye to them as they left for school. Afterward, he returned to his own room and entered the Fire Refining Star Realm.
