*3rd Pov*
[Ok then, since you have won this tournament, you are allowed 7 days in the UHS. Uchiha, no. Yami, do your best.] said Xu Da Huang before being interrupted
[Actually, I don't want the UHS. Give it to Mo Fan.] said Yami
[Eh, excuse me? Do you know what the UHS is?] questioned Xu Da Huang
[Yeah, I do. It's just not worth any value to me. If I cultivate in it, I would in fact cultivate slower. Give it to Mo Fan, he gains more than my loses. Plus, we can fight to see who gets the UHS. Alright, get Mo Fan.] said Yami while waving his hand. 10 minutes later and Mo Fan arrives
[Why did ya call me?] questioned Mo Fan
[You, Me, fight for the UHS. Down for it?] questioned Yami. He got a nod in return. The both stood at about 5 meters apart.
[Ready, start!] said Xu Da Huang.
[Ignite : Incinerate!] said Mo Fan
[Ahhh!?! What a bad day!!! I cant connect my star dust!! I surrender!! It appears ill have to go on a longer journey this time!! Half a year journey shall begin again!] screamed Yami while getting slightly burned.
[Ahhh!! What pain!! My knee!! I think it'll come off!!] screamed Yami while holding his knee. He was on the floor, screaming. Xu Da Huang and the rest of the staff present were amazed at how Yami acted and why he did so.
[Oh, thank goodness I have this super duper magic item that can recover a burn to the knee!! Mo Fan, you have beaten me fair and square!! You shall use the UHS for 7 days!! Now, Ta Ta!!] said Yami while waving back. He dashes out of there.
[So... are you gonna skip the UHS and go on a half year trip?] questioned Xu Da Huang
[Ye— *Cough cough*, ill consider it.] said Mo Fan
Now, we can see Yami dashing towards the high school. When he appears at the gate, he runs through the corridor, goes up 3 stories and arrives at the principals office without breaking a sweat.
[*knock Knock Knock*]
[Come in.] said the principal. He sees Yami and immediately responds
[You aren't leaving for half a year.] said the principal
[Thats true.] said Yami while nodding his head wisely with his eyes closed. Hearing this, the principal breaths out a sigh of relief while taking a sip of his tea.
[Im leaving for a year!] said Yami with a joyful face. It's as if his art style had changed completely. The principal spits out the tea, and some comes leaking out his nose.
[Denied!!!] screamed the principal while banging the table
[No U.] said Yami while making an UNO reverse card from Yin-Yang manipulation
[Ugh... ok, all jokes aside, you aren't gonna leave the school for a year. 3 months.] said the principal
[So in the end, I'm still gonna leave? Great!! 11 months!] said Yami with the same joyous face
[4 months.]
[10 months.]
[5 months.]
[9 months.]
[*Sigh, 7 months, I'm not budging it any more. Take it or leave it.] said the principal
[You see, oh dear principal, you aren't in power. 7 months, 2 weeks. Ill say this back. Take it or you might not be a principal anymore.] said Yami. A red glow springs out of his left eye.
[*Sigh, fine. 7 months, 2 weeks. Not a minute more. Not a minute less.] said the principal
[No, no no. Ill finish my training in 7 months and 2 weeks and make a 2 week trip to come back. Thats why I didn't say 4 weeks. And not a minute more or less? You are asking me to come 7 months and 4 weeks from these 60 seconds. Ok, how about this. You will retire as a principal and give your position to my father. You have 30 seconds to get him, come back here, hold a ceremony of your retirement and his enrolment. You think you can do it? Not a second more, not a second less. Now, go get him.] said Yami
[Fine, fine. Just go.] said the principal while handing Yami a written paper with his signature. The principal had thought about the possibility, so he already had a sheet of paper that already had a few explanations with a blank space signifying The months and weeks.
[Good job, Mr. Principal!! May the goddess of luck never be on your side!] said Yami while sprinting out of the room.
[Wait!! You are supposed to say that the goddess of luck is on my side!!] screamed the principal while holding out his hand. What answered was a rushed footsteps that were fading out faster and faster until there was no sound left.
[Oh, the joy of youth. If only I could be youthful again.] just as the principal said that, a lightning struck him. The next moment, he returned to his youth with all the elements of the new and old magic system unlocked. He was at the god-like stage.
[Its finally here!! My golden finger!!] screamed out the principal while putting one foot at his desk. The next second, another lightning struck down on him, absorbing all the power he just had gained.
[My Golden finger!!!] and so, we ignore the old hypocrite and arrive at the seen of Yami sprinting on the second floor. He arrives at his class room and see's Tang Yue about to start class.
[Why are you late?] questioned Tang Yue
[Late? Thats absurd. I'm here to give you this!!] said Yami while handing a neatly folded paper to her. He then sprints back to the door and says the following.
[Ill be gone for 7 months and 2 weeks, and an additional 2 weeks to return!! Good by, Hag Yue!!] said Yami while teleporting the fu** outa there. He appears at an ally way and starts to chant the high-tier magic {Teleport}. Unlike other high-tier space mages that can only teleport about 50-100 meters, Yami can travel miles upon miles. It only took 5 teleportation to appear back at the star forest and an additional one to appear in the cave.
[Hey John!! Long time no see!] said Yami
[Oh, hey Yami. What's happening that got you so excited?] questioned John
[I levelled up my cultivation loach to spirit grade!! The original 12 years of cultivation to reach the forgotten stage has shortened to 6 years and 4 months, with additional calculations added, of course.] said Yami
[I-in only 6 years!! What kind of bullsh** is this?!] questioned John
[But, that is with all my effects. My loach has a passive ability of multiplying my cultivation by 10x and a 100x at activation. On top of that, I got a God talent I call 'Cultivation Maniac'. It adds a 10x cultivation effect and some other abilities. With that, it takes me 2 years to get 1 element to forgotten. I have 20 elements, and minus 8 from that for the dimensional elements and you have 32. Since I have the loach at spirit grade, I can deduct 40%, making it 12.8, and using one of my abilities, I can half that time into 6.4. So, 6 years and 4 months for me to cultivate to the forgotten stage. And the best part is that these 6 years and 4 months are without resources! What if I cultivated in this water?! This water adds a 10x effect, but if I can use it to its full potential, I'm sure I can half those 6 years and 4 months into 3 years and 2 months!!
Just think about it!! 3 years, 2 months!! Thats, like, 3 years and 2 months.... fu**, anyways, its really good. What if I use other treasures as well?! I could get the Yin lotus fruit and boost all Yin-related magic's, so any black magic or cold magics, and if I get something like the Yang apple fruit, I can strengthen all Yang abilities, so fires and white magic!! And if I find the Yin-Yang—] explained Yami before getting cut off
[Yeah, Yeah, I know. Now stop talking. Basically, if you use the spiritual lake and the Yin-Yang harmony fruit, you can cultivate to the forgotten stage in like a year or so, right?] questioned John
[11 months, 2 weeks and 4 days. But yeah. But that's adding the fact that I can even get the Yin-Yang harmony fruit. I mean, it only grows in places that are snowing heavily at winter and as hot as the desert in the summer. Even then, it needs tremendous amounts of magical energy. I might as well make one... hey, John. Can I get the Yin-Yang harmony fruit by combining the Yin Lotus fruit and the Yang apple fruit?] questioned Yami
[I mean, if you squeezed them both into a liquid and mixed them together, probably, maybe, but I kinda doubt it. ] said John while cleaning his ear with his finger.
[*Sigh, I knew it wouldn't work-] said Yami before getting cut off.
[But if you get to the Dragon vein, as you call it, you can probably find Yin-Yang harmony fruits as common as grass. And I see you have casted your domain. You should be able to survive the heat in there.] said John while cleaning his other ear.
[But how will I get there? I could probably do something with my elements, but its a waste of time.] said Yami
[Are you forgetting the history of ancient mages? Back then, anyone could handle the heat, and everyone had access to it, except the part about certain parts being claimed. But since they have all died out, you have the entirety of the dragon vein to yourself. Like them, I had set up my successor to success me, so, I made a tunnel straight to the dragon vein.] said John while revealing a hidden passage that opened.
[Aight, thanks for your help.] said Yami while walking towards the dragon vein. The tunnel is just that, a tunnel. No stairs, just a flat ground leading to an area not in the range of seenable.
[I thought it would be fun to go down to the dragon vein like this, so I didn't bother putting stairs on in.] said John. Yami looks at him with blank chapters while saying
[... Find out in the next chapter!]
