Imperial Spirits - Otherworldly Adventures

"Zhao Jian! That sick boy!!" A voice rang aloud from a student who was sitting behind Ding Wei.

Ding Wei and everyone looked outside the glass room, and their eyes fell on the young, handsome boy standing there in a daze.

Lin Shui'er looked at the handsome young boy while comparing him with the sickly coward boy who always hides behind Han Bing'er.

Finally, she finds it hard to keep up with what she's seeing before her.

"Although it's unbelievable, it's definitely him," Lin Shui'er said as her eyes sparked with curiosity.

"I've never seen or heard of someone with such a big change in the awakening process..."

"It's unreal that a sick boy became so good-looking and regained his health!" Li Shao said as he uttered those words in exaggerated manners.

As the young students were busy figuring out what happened to Zhao Jian, Wang Renshu and Professor Kaio were discussing Zhao Jian as well.

"Old Kaio, did you check carefully!? How is this possible? With such an obvious change in his physique, how is it possible that his talent index is the 'One Star Fifth Index' only?

"Headmaster Wang, I do understand; actually, I'm also baffled, as the results are ordinary despite there being an obvious increment in his physical stats." Professor Kaio shook his head and said.

Further, as he continued, "Also, as per the sensors, we have detected that his strength has already broken through the Mid-stage of Black Iron Rank Spirit Warrior."

"Mid-stage of Black Iron Rank Spirit Warrior!" Lin Wu was acclaimed in surprise.

To them, the mid-stage of black iron rank is not worth mentioning, yet from a general perspective, it's not easy to break through the mid-stage directly while in the awakening process.

From the initial stage to the intermediate stage, there is an obvious gap, and it's even more difficult to break through this gap while in the awakening process.

The reason Lin Wu showed such a surprised expression is that it needs real talent to break through the barrier and directly enter the intermediate stage.

Up until now in the history of Yangwu, there was only one person who achieved this "Jie Xia" around thirty years ago.

He was also a legend in Yang Wu, and many people take him in high regard.

Even older generations of elite families in Yang Wu think "Jie Xia" was incomparable to any other genius born in Yang Wu.

The only exception was Han Yu, but after he failed to awaken on the first and second trials, he was also excluded.

From this, it is understandable why Headmaster Wang was rude and unable to acknowledge the fact Zhao Jian's talent is so low.

Although he was not aware before that he had broken through the intermediate stage, it's not easy for a sick boy to achieve a healthy physique with just the awakening trial process.

"Headmaster Wang, I think it would be best if we ask Zhao Jian himself; after all, the change in his body was not minor, and he would have definitely gone through some strange process.

"It's possible it might be a unique physical character that is awakened, or even it could be a supernatural ability..." Dr. Lin responded as he pointed toward Zhao Jian.

"Hmmm, let's go; old man is also curious and wants to know firsthand!"

Just then, as if a gust of wind flowed, Headmaster Wang had already disappeared, and the next second he was standing in front of Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian was standing next to the trial room for some time; it was not that he was injured or what, rather his current state was related to what happened during the awakening trial...

Outwardly, everything seemed to be fine, yet he was sure as if he was dragged somewhere else, and there he saw something that caused his heart to shiver and his spine to be cold.

What happened next was when he left that illusion, he found out his body had become healthy, and even his senses were much clearer.

It's not bad to say he felt as if he was reborn.

But he is not happy even a bit; rather, a kind of fear and anxiety has shrouded his heart. This is the reason he was standing here in a daze.

Just when he was thinking of countermeasures, he found a shadow of a person in front of him, which caused him to be startled.

"What!! Who a..are...Ah, Headmaster! I..I'm sorry..."

While being startled, when he looked at the person, it turned out to be the headmaster. It caused his panicked heart to stabilize a bit.

"Boy Zhao, why are you sweating too much? Tell old man did something happen during the awakening trail!?"

Zhao Jian nervously looked at Wang Renshu while shaking his head, "N... Nothing headmaster, I'm fine; it may be due to a change in my physique that caused me to sweat this much...."

Wang Renshu looked up and down, and then swiftly moved his hand and held Zhao Jian's wrist.

Without waiting for him to respond, a strand of strange qi flow swept from his wrist, held by the headmaster, and revolved around his body in circulation.

Wang Renshu's sudden action caused Zhao Jian to be even more nervous and uneasy, as he thought, 'I must think of something; I can't let the headmaster find that something is off...'

"Well, there seems to be nothing wrong with your body; your heartbeats are a bit fast, but nothing peculiar."

"Moreover, I don't know how it happened, but your innately weak state is cured automatically. It's something strange, but old man is unable to find the cause for it..."

"Boy Zhao, did you feel something different when your body strengthened to its current state, or did you awaken any kind of supernatural ability?" As headmaster Wang Renshu was examining his body while his eyes were shut tightly, he asked in a rather confused tone.

'Right! Supernatural ability... I can cover that up with a supernatural ability... Just need to come up with valid points to make it sound real!' A sudden inspiration hit Zhao Jian's mind, and in the blink of a second, he made up his mind to cover up his secret.

"Hmmm, what happened, boy Zhao? Why are you not talking?" Headmaster Wang opened his eyes and took his hand back as he asked Zhao Jian in a concerning tone.

"I... it's not headmaster, actually; I also am unable to tell you what exactly happened, as I was in a trance when my body healed, and when I recovered, I found out I've awakened a supernatural ability..."

"T..this ability of mine actually helps me absorb all the nutrients that are yet to be consumed in my body to strengthen and heal my body... something like that, I think...." In order not to arouse suspicion, Zhao Jian hastily made up a lie that is difficult to detect, whilst his body now seems to have this ability indeed, but it's not like a supernatural ability but something he's born with or which is developed just now.

'"Heh, that's something unusual, but it does indeed fit the reason for your body to be restored and healthy again."

"All these years your father has made you consume a lot of previous medicines and treasures to strengthen and cure your body, although those medicines or treasures were not of much help to you before if old man got it right."

"Most of the medicinal effects and energy might be reserved in your body, which, when you awaken, your supernatural ability works as a catalyst to strengthen your physique..."

"Wonderful! Indeed wonderful... Who would have thought that you would be cured in such a surprising way...!"

The more Wang Renshu thought, the more he felt his hypothesis was correct; after all, it is the only reason he could think of such a strange transformation...

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, two more green lights flashed from the nearest trial rooms, and two more students went out.

A young man with black hair and a sharply pointed nose, as he walked, each of his steps was steady, and he had an elegant walking posture.

While another person was also a young man with dull brown hair and greenish eyes. He rather seems to be a naive next-door boy.

The smile on their face proves that their awakening trial went well.

"Jiang Wang has seen the Headmaster!" The elegant youth went forward as he saw Headmaster Wang with another student and gave a polite greeting.

The other young man also ran forward hastily and greeted Headmaster Wang.

"Haha, as astute as always, you young fellows of the Jiang family... well, it seems like your result is not bad, and Lin Bao's young son, you seem to be doing well, huh!"

Wang Renshu took a quick glance and said in a casual tone,.

One is the young man from the Jiang family, and the other is the son of Lin Bao, who was his student back then.

"Zhao… Jian? Is that you!?" Jiang Wang, who after greeting the headmaster looked towards the handsome young man, suddenly felt something was off; after taking another glance, he somewhat unsurely asked.

Lin Fan, who was standing next to him, also threw a curious glance towards the young man in front of him.

Unlike Jiang Wang, who was from the same class as Zhao Jian, Lin Fan was from class A3.

He was not aware of Zhao Jian's circumstances more or less; he only heard he was a weak guy who hides behind a girl... But seeing the handsome young man, he felt otherwise…
