Chapter 90: Chapter 78: A Passive Skill Has Been Activated

Fang Xiu was a little confused.

So much time had already passed since the incident.

’Why are they looking for me now?’

Fang Xiu was confident he hadn’t left any loose ends or exposed himself in any way.

’But now they actually want to meet?’

This struck Fang Xiu as rather strange.

Still, he felt uneasy about not going to see what it was about.

"Teacher Xia, are we going straight back to the school?"

Fang Xiu asked.

"That’s right. I can come pick you up!"

Xia Yunmeng said.

"No need, Teacher Xia. It should be faster if I come on my own."

Fang Xiu refused.

He wasn’t in the Seventh Gate World at all.

’If Xia Yunmeng came here, wouldn’t I be exposed?’

"You don’t need me to? Alright then, be safe. I’ll see you at school!"

Xia Yunmeng replied.

"Okay, Teacher Xia, I understand!"

Fang Xiu gave a slight nod, and without another word, hung up the phone.

"Kajimi, looks like I have to make a trip to the school after all!"

Fang Xiu said helplessly to the Succubus beside him.

"Kajimi will accompany Master!"

The Succubus stood up.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly, but he was in no hurry to leave the villa.

It would take some time to get to the Seventh Gate World from here.

Since Fang Xiu had claimed to be training in a Gate World, he naturally didn’t need to rush over.

After another two hours of Cultivation,

Fang Xiu casually opened the website on his phone to check on the Cultivation Technique he had uploaded yesterday.

[Name: Fang Xiu]

[Level: 13]

[Points: 884,090]

"What the hell?"

Fang Xiu stared at the number of Points.

He was completely stunned.

He closed the website and opened it again.

[Name: Fang Xiu]

[Level: 13]

[Points: 884,890]

He checked carefully... it was still over eight hundred eighty thousand.

Not only that, but it seemed another copy had been sold just since he last checked, adding another eight hundred Points.

’Over a thousand copies sold in one day?’

Fang Xiu knew his Cultivation Technique was good.

But he never imagined it would become this popular.

One copy sold for one thousand Points.

After deducting the twenty percent transaction fee, he was left with eight hundred Points.

And now, Fang Xiu’s account had over eight hundred eighty thousand Points.

This meant that in just one day, he had sold over a thousand copies.

And he would continue to earn more Points.

"I’ll head to the school first. When I get back, I’ll see if I can find a suitable dagger or some other Equipment!"

Fang Xiu didn’t buy any Equipment right away.

After all, choosing the right gear was something that required careful consideration.

And right now, Fang Xiu didn’t have the time for that.

...

Qingzhou City First High School.

Fang Xiu looked at the school before him. It had only been a little over ten days since he’d left.

Yet it felt so nostalgic.

After all, so much had happened in that short time.

Fang Xiu had already learned about the cruelty of the Gate Worlds from books and the internet.

It wasn’t just Level 10+ experts; even powerhouses who were dozens of Levels higher could be killed overnight by a Demon Beast.

Stories like that had even been reported on the TV news.

But when a Level 10+ Awakened died, they would likely perish without a sound.

Even so, Fang Xiu still found it all a bit too cruel.

The deaths of Yuan Heng and the other two had a huge impact on Fang Xiu.

Fortunately, Fang Xiu was mentally strong.

Otherwise, if it had been any other Awakened, seeing a friend alive and well one day...

...only to find their body gone without a trace or horribly mangled the next.

They would have truly had a mental breakdown.

"Fang Xiu!"

Just then, a voice called out.

Fang Xiu turned his head and saw a buxom figure running toward him.

"Teacher Xia!"

Fang Xiu greeted her.

"You’re finally here! The principal was getting a bit anxious waiting for you!"

Xia Yunmeng said with a sigh.

"The principal?"

Hearing the principal’s name, Fang Xiu felt an instinctive aversion.

Although Yue Tianrui hadn’t done anything overt,

Fang Xiu still felt that there was something strange about him.

"Yes, the principal is the one mainly in charge of this matter, so he’ll take you to see those two people later."

Xia Yunmeng explained.

Fang Xiu glanced discreetly at a red shadow in the distance.

The figure gave a slight nod and a reassuring smile.

Only then did Fang Xiu say, "Then let’s go now, so we don’t keep the principal waiting too long!"

"Mhm!"

With that, Xia Yunmeng led Fang Xiu to the principal’s office.

"Principal, Fang Xiu is here!"

Xia Yunmeng said, knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Yue Tianrui’s voice came from inside.

Xia Yunmeng then led Fang Xiu inside.

"Principal!"

Fang Xiu’s expression didn’t change upon seeing Yue Tianrui.

But then, Fang Xiu noticed there was another person in the principal’s office.

"Mhm, Teacher Xia, you can get back to your work now."

Yue Tianrui said to Xia Yunmeng.

"Okay!"

Suspecting nothing, Xia Yunmeng nodded, left the office, and closed the door behind her.

"Fang Xiu, long time no see!"

Yue Tianrui now turned to Fang Xiu with a smile.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "Thank you for remembering me, Principal!"

"Hehe, you’re the most talented student in our school. I could forget anyone, but I’d never forget you!"

At this, Yue Tianrui just chuckled before turning to the middle-aged man beside him and making an introduction. "Fang Xiu, this is Mr. Ji Shi!"

"Technician? And a male one at that?"

Fang Xiu blurted out.

’The principal has some peculiar hobbies!’

"Ji, as in the season, and Shi, as in to perform!"

Yue Tianrui said helplessly, "Mr. Ji is a Level 42 Psychologist!"

"A Psychologist? That’s not a common Profession!"

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

Psychologists among the Awakened were no simple matter.

They were beings who could even hypnotize other Awakened.

Hypnosis could even be used as a means of Attack, creating Illusion Realms, launching Spiritual Attacks, and so on. They were very powerful.

Fang Xiu never expected this middle-aged man to be a Psychologist.

And a Level 42 one at that.

"Mr. Ji Shi."

Fang Xiu offered a greeting.

After all, the man’s age and Level were plain to see.

He was much older than Fang Xiu.

"Mr. Ji, this is our school’s most talented student, Fang Xiu!"

Yue Tianrui now introduced Fang Xiu to Ji Shi.

"Hehe, I’ve heard of him. An SSS Level Sacrificial Master Profession. A very impressive Talent!"

Ji Shi didn’t seem to be looking down on Fang Xiu.

He had met many people in his time.

He had even met a Sacrificial Master before, though that person’s strength wasn’t anything special.

Of course, their Talent was only C Level.

The Fang Xiu before him, however, was an SSS Level Sacrificial Master.

This piqued Ji Shi’s interest somewhat.

"I wonder why the principal asked for me?"

After the two exchanged greetings,

Fang Xiu got straight to the point.

"You’re an impatient one, kid!"

Yue Tianrui said with a smile.

Fang Xiu shrugged helplessly. "I’m a new Awakened. I still need to practice my Cultivation and get more experience, Principal!"

"Hehe, don’t worry, this won’t take much of your time. When I asked for you, Teacher Xia should have told you some of the details!"

Yue Tianrui said, "Those two people want to see you!"

"Mhm, I know!"

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

Xia Yunmeng had already told him about it on the phone.

"Do you want to see them or not?"

Yue Tianrui asked suddenly.

Fang Xiu wasn’t nervous. He simply said, "I’m already here. I’ll follow whatever arrangements the principal has made!"

"Mhm, good!"

Yue Tianrui said with a smile, "Then let’s head out right away!"

"Those two aren’t at the school?"

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that.

’Have they already been moved?’

"Because of their previous nonsensical ramblings, they’ve been sent to my hospital!"

Ji Shi answered Fang Xiu’s question.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu found it a bit strange.

If Yu Boyuan and the other person were already confined to Ji Shi’s hospital,

then why had Ji Shi come here?

’Wouldn’t it have been more convenient for him to just wait at the hospital for me and the principal to arrive?’

"Actually, your principal asked me to come here for another reason!"

Ji Shi looked at Fang Xiu with a faint smile.

"What is it?"

Fang Xiu’s guard went up.

This Ji Shi was a Level 42 Psychologist. He had been staring at Fang Xiu ever since he walked in.

His gaze was like that of a hunter who had spotted its prey.

’Could it be that this Psychologist, Ji Shi, wasn’t brought here for Yu Boyuan and the other one?’

’Was he brought here for me?’

Fang Xiu felt he was closing in on the answer.

"I invited Mr. Ji to conduct a psychological evaluation for you. After all, something like that happening in the school’s Gate World is bound to have an effect. He can help you process any lingering feelings of distress."

Yue Tianrui said directly.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu said with a hint of resignation, "Principal, if you suspect me, you can just say it."

"Not at all. Why would I suspect our school’s most talented student?"

Yue Tianrui shook his head and said with a smile, "Still, let Mr. Ji help you work through it."

Judging by Yue Tianrui’s smile, it was clear Fang Xiu wouldn’t be leaving today without taking this psychological evaluation.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Fine. Let’s do it."

"Huh?"

Yue Tianrui had been trying to figure out how to persuade Fang Xiu.

He never expected Fang Xiu to agree so readily.

"I said fine, let’s do it!"

Fang Xiu knew there was no getting out of this psychological evaluation today.

It was better to just get it over with.

"Good."

Yue Tianrui nodded slightly, then looked at Ji Shi and said, "Then I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Ji!"

"Not a problem!"

Ji Shi smiled, then looked at Fang Xiu as his Spiritual Power began to surge.

He said, "No need to be nervous. I’m just going to perform a light Hypnosis on you. It will be over quickly!"

"Isn’t this a psychological evaluation? Why is it Hypnosis?"

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected Ji Shi to use a Hypnosis Skill right away.

"Don’t be nervous. It’ll be quick!"

Ji Shi’s smile seemed to grow larger and larger in Fang Xiu’s vision.

Gradually, Fang Xiu’s head began to feel groggy.

It felt as if he were about to fall asleep.

’So this is a Psychologist’s Hypnosis?’

Fang Xiu struggled to stay awake, but his mental state was starting to give way.

But just then, something in the depths of his mind seemed to open its eyes.

In an instant, everything around him came back into sharp focus.

"Is it over?"

Fang Xiu was momentarily stunned.

He then looked at the smiling Yue Tianrui.

And at Ji Shi, who was still in the middle of casting his Hypnosis Skill.

Fang Xiu understood that it wasn’t over at all.

It was just that one of his Passive Skills—the Nether King’s True Eye—had activated!
