I Can See the Lines of Fortune - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Wyrmling Shadow, Initial Cry

The glaring lights from Li Yushu’s test attracted everyone’s attention in the hall. It wasn’t just the barbarian man, the elf lady, and the other students in East Zone 1. The students and inspectors from the other zones looked over too.

Gasp…

When they saw the three white circles on Li Yushu’s pillar, exclamations could be heard everywhere.

The air in the entire hall seemed thinner.

“Oh my God! This is a boss! He had already reached one force point third-rank!”

“Is this what they call a genius?”

“This is not fair! I’m only at fifth-rank of Body Tempering!”

“This is too scary!”

“…”

“…”

Many voices could be heard exclaiming in awe.

Li Yushu curled the corners of his mouth upward slightly as he listened to everyone’s gasps and compliments. He lifted his head slightly, and said in an arrogant tone, “Are we done?”

The barbarian man and the elf lady finally regained their senses.

The barbarian man smiled, and replied, “Mr. Li Yushu, right? You’re amazing! You should be able to enter a good institution. You’re done. You can go back and wait.”

Li Yushu nodded slightly. He pushed out his chest and returned to his seat.

After Li Yushu’s test, the hall became chaotic for a moment. Then, the test continued.

The students who were still waiting below the stage looked at Li Yushu occasionally. Many young ladies kept glancing at him and blushing. Then, they lowered their heads and chatted with their friends.

Li Yushu’s cultivation stage was too high.

From the start of the test until now, there were only three Force Warriors. The highest was first-rank. There wasn’t even a second-rank. Yet, Li Yushu was at third-rank!

How could everyone not be surprised?

Time continued to pass.

After almost four hours, most of the students in the hall had finished their test. There were only around 10 students left for each zone.

At this moment, the barbarian man looked at the list in his hand, and said, “112817568, Mr. Mo Xiaobai. It’s your turn.”

Mo Xiaobai immediately turned energized. He stood up from his chair.

Finally, it was his turn.

He took a deep breath and walked to the inspection table.

On the podium, Bu Bai, the principal of Moonlight Secondary School, and the leader of the Peak of Cerulean team suddenly felt invigorated when they heard Mo Xiaobai’s name. At first, they were very drowsy, but now they sat up straight and looked at East Zone 1.

The mayor of Pingxi Town and Head Lu were puzzled when they saw the excited expressions on the three people’s faces.

The mayor of Pingxi Town smiled, and asked, “Director Bu, Leader Wang, Principal Lin, what’s the matter? Is there anything special about this student called Mo Xiaobai? Why are you so interested in him?”

The other people looked at the three curiously too.

Principal Lin laughed, and replied, “This student is the top genius of our school.”

Bu Bai looked at the curious crowd and gave a mysterious smile. “You will know in a moment.”

Leader Wang smiled, and said, “I just heard some rumors from Old Wu.”

Rumors?

The town mayor and the other higher authorities looked at each other when they heard this.

They shifted their gaze to East Zone 1. They wanted to see what rumors caused Bu Bai and Leader Wang to be so excited.

Mo Xiaobai came in front of the black table. The barbarian man smiled, and said, “You can place your hand on the inspection crystal.”

Mo Xiaobai nodded. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the crystal pillar.

The surface of the crystal pillar was a little cold. The second Mo Xiaobai touched it, a dazzling white light appeared within the crystal.

The light was even more glaring and dazzling than Li Yushu’s light!

Immediately, all the bored students who had finished their tests looked over.

On the podium, the higher authorities straightened their backs unconsciously and looked at Mo Xiaobai.

The white light filled up the entire transparent crystal pillar. Then, it shot up into the air and formed a white light pillar. A white circle was slowly congregating.

Soon, the second one was formed.

A few breaths later, the third light circle appeared.

A few breaths later, the fourth light circle lit up.

Gasp…

Everyone stared at the fourth light circle in disbelief. Their eyes were wide open as they froze on the spot.

However, the white light didn’t disappear.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the blinking light pillar. They seemed to be anticipating something.

Even the students and the staff doing their tests and job, respectively, stopped what they were doing. They were all looking at Mo Xiaobai.

Only a fraction of a second seemed to have passed. However, it felt like an eternity too.

Suddenly, the white light blinked, and the virtual image of a white wyrmling shot straight into the sky.

The wyrmling wiggled its long body and stepped in the air with its four clawed limbs. It flew one round around the hall before raising its head and opening its mouth.

“Roar!”

The cry of a dragon was heard.

After the dragon roared, the wyrmling turned into white droplets of light and disappeared.

After the virtual image of the wyrmling disappeared, the hall turned dead silent.

No sound was heard. If a leaf dropped now, everyone would hear it.

Their eyes were wide open as everyone stared intently in the direction where the wyrmling disappeared. There were astonishment and confusion in their eyes.

Mo Xiaobai looked at the crystal pillar that had returned to its transparent state. He glanced in the direction where the wyrmling disappeared. He was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect there to be special effects when the crystal pillar detected the fifth-rank.

It was quite handsome.

Mo Xiaobai was very satisfied. However, he remembered what Ning Ran said, and his gaze turned solemn.

The top three institutions. He had already taken the first step.

Mo Xiaobai shook his head. He stopped thinking about this, and turned to look at the audience who was still frozen in shock. He couldn’t help but smile.

Was there a need to be so surprised?

He coughed.

Everyone in the hall regained their senses because of this cough.

They all turned and looked at Mo Xiaobai. After a moment of silence, chaos exploded in the hall.

Woah!

“What the f**k! The wyrmling shadow! The initial cry of a wyrmling! I didn’t know that I’m in the same hall as an amazing genius! When I’m old, I will tell my grandchildren about this!”

“We have a wyrmling in Pingxi Town?! Are you serious?!”

“This little brother is so handsome!”

“…”

“…”

On the podium, all the higher authorities were staring at Mo Xiaobai too. Their gazes were extremely intense.

The mayor of Pingxi Town laughed loudly. “Hahaha! Our town is going to be famous! We actually have a wyrmling!”

A surprised smile appeared on Head Lu’s stern face. He couldn’t restrain it.

“This time, our town might be the top of all the other towns! What glory will that be!”

Bu Bai retracted his astounded expression and started smiling. “This fellow is really amazing.”

He used one month to rise five ranks. You could imagine how bright Mo Xiaobai’s future would be.

Leader Wang looked at Mo Xiaobai with disbelief on his face.

When he heard Wu Liang talking about Mo Xiaobai just now, he was still a little suspicious.

Now, he finally saw Mo Xiaobai’s talent personally.

He couldn’t help but compliment, “He’s really a genius.”

The smile on Principal Lin’s fat face got brighter. He turned and looked at Principal Lin, who was in a daze. He said in a soft voice, “Old Yuan, thank you for this year.”

“???” Principal Yuan.

He turned and looked at Principal Lin. For some time, he didn’t know what expression he should have.
