"Inscription Patterns are extremely profound and mysterious. They have been around since the Snow Wind Empire's age. They are being continuously improved on as time goes by. But during the Age of Darkness, the mainland was under the attack of many demon beasts. Glory City only managed to inherited a small portion of them, coming from three categories. Snow Wind Patterns, Sacred Flaming Patterns, War Prime Patterns. Which are the Snow Wind attributes, Fire attributes and Neutral attributes."
"Today we will be talking about Enchanting Patterns." Shen Xiu said softly, her tone became more gentle compared to the usual tone.
Outside the classroom, three elderly men sat together, listening to the lecture.
"The knowledge from the members of the Sacred family is quite profound. Having her teach these students is definitely more then enough!" one of the elderly men said with a smile. He is Ye Sheng, the vice-principal of Holy Orchid Institute.
"A few students in this class are quite good, no matter if it's Ye Ziyun, Shen Yue or Xiao Ning'er," one of the elderly men said sounding very pleased. He is a professor in Holy Orchid Institute named Lu Ye.
Other than Ye Sheng, a grey robed, elderly man sat beside them. Lu Ye doesn't know this grey robed elder's identity. This grey robed elder just casually sat down but he gives off a powerful, prestige aura, causing Lu Ye to be careful with his words when he spoke. He didn't dare to make a slight mistake with his speech.
"How is it?" Ye Sheng asked, looking at the grey robe elder.
"Mhm," Grey robed elder non-committally replied.
The students in the classroom didn't know that there were people outside the class observing to the lecture. It was hard to imagine that Shen Xiu actually talked about some substantial stuff, so everyone paid attention and listened.
Shen Xiu slightly raised her chest. Her face, which was full of pride, and said, "Today I want to talk about Sacred Flaming Patterns! In the research on Sacred Flaming Patterns, the Sacred family is no doubt has a well-deserved lead!"
"The Sacred Flaming Patterns has 66 foundation patterns. This pattern, for example….," Shen Xiu drew a totem formed from many patterns coming together on the blackboard, "This is the Scarlet Sunburst Pattern. This pattern was created by Sacred family's first generation house master. It's the most powerful Bronze pattern! This pattern is made up of 36 foundation patterns combined together. It's, also the most complex pattern among the Bronze patterns. Next we'll talk about these 36 foundation patterns."
Shen Xiu began to talk non-stop.
Most of the students in the class were listening with great interest.
'A.I.Chip, Bring the database'
[Beep!]
Although Nie Li has recorded a lot of books, he has not really read them all. He uses A. I. Chip, whenever he wants to know about something to search in the database. it's more like Google to him, just with a very concise and convenient search function.
'These are very basic stuff, I don't need A.I. Chip to know how fundamental these things are. Further there are more than 600 foundation patterns in the Sacred Flaming Pattern, not 66 and a simple Scarlet Sunburst Pattern claimed to be the strongest bronze inscription pattern is simply outrageous! ' Nie Li inwardly shook his head, as he stopped caring about her lecture and started to look through the database to read some cultivation techniques ideas and implications. To everyone else he looked like a normal boy.
Shen Xiu's gaze swept across the students in the class, and lastly fell onto Nie Li. Previously, Nie Li came late in her class. She was enraged with such an actions by a nobody peasant. She had decided to make him pay in the class.
When she saw him observing her lecture and listening intently, she scoffed in disdain, Like a commoner could understand this complex arts. She finally found her chance! Shen Xiu continued gabble about the 36 foundation patterns.
"Well it's easy enough to understand for now! Before I start into more advanced lecture, let me see whether you understand what I have told you. Nie Li!" Shen Xiu spoke in a sadistic voice as she pointed towards Nie Li.
Nie Li was reading happily but he was rudely interrupted, he stood up and said, "Yes?"
Seeing Shen Xiu pick Nie Li up, a bunch of noble kids secretly laughed. They wanted to see Nie Li, a shame to all noble put in place.
Nie Li's attitude of remaining absolutely unfazed made Shen Xiu a little furious. She expected him to shutter and shiver, not be confident, she said in a deep voice, "I will ask you some question to see if you were paying attention to the class or just acting to do so?"
"Sure," Nie Li calmly said.
"You….." Shen Xiu became speechless from being choked by Nie Li's words. He showed no signs of being in a bad spot at all.
Shen Xiu coldly sneered, "Since you already know, why don't you tell us about the inscription pattern on the board?"
Nie Li's eyes swept across the inscription pattern and said, "This is a Sacred Flaming Pattern which is near the lower extreme of the specified range. It can barely be considered a Bronze pattern. With 38 patterns in it's structure, it's power is decrepit and usage is minimal."
Nie Li understood that She wanted to humiliate him, but he is just not going to give her the joy of it today. 'Maybe this is my chance, If I can somehow impress the ones observing us, it would become a good backing for me.'
Hearing what Nie Li just said, the whole class started laughing.
"Haha, I almost died from laughing. He really did not listen to anything teacher said. To actually say that this Scarlet Sunburst Pattern has 38 foundation pattern in it's structure when, earlier on, teacher Shen Xiu just introduced that there are 36 foundation patterns in it's structure!"
"I laughed to the point that tears began to come out. He practically said it's useless!" one of the noble kid said while he's laughing.
Shen Yue became a little angry, as he understood that Nie Li just changed his wording and called the Bronze pattern that's been passed down in his family as useless. This, simply, cannot be tolerated! Among all the students, only Xiao Ning'er remained calm, Xiao Ning'er felt that someone with Nie Li's level of knowledge must have a reason to say this or maybe he is trying to remain unnoticed by saying ridiculous things.
At that moment, outside of the classroom, Lu Ye also laughed. "This student is really funny. He actually said that there are 38 foundation patterns in Scarlet Sunburst's structure and even said that it useless, although the way he say it quite roundabout!"
While he's laughing, he noticed that the Vice-Principal, Ye Sheng, and the grey robed elder did not laugh. He suddenly stopped by pushing his laughter back into his stomach.
"What's so funny? The Scarlet Sunburst is indeed made from 38 foundation patterns." Vice-Principal Ye Sheng calmly said. At his and grey robed elder's level, with in-depth investigation they would find that there are 2 foundation patterns in the Scarlet Sunburst pattern that are actually not only made from 2 foundation patterns, but made from 4 foundation patterns. However, what made them feel shocked is that this information actually came from a student. Was this student randomly guessing? And for experts like them, the Scarlet Sunburst, this sort of rubbish inscription pattern; it's actual effect in battle is very small.
A light flashed across the grey robed elder's eye, but he did not say anything and remained silent.
"Bullshit!" Shen Xiu grunted angrily. Her face turned grim. As a member of the Sacred family, naturally, she couldn't tolerate anyone degrading the Scarlet Sunburst pattern in front of them.
Nie Li did not pay any attention to the students that were laughing at him and thought 'Should I tell them about the reality of this inscription, that this inscription pattern is practically a rip off.'
Nie li looked at the furious Shen Xiu and paid attention to any kind of movement from the back, seeing them not coming to his defense, he decided to keep it to himself 'This information is very scandalous, I will become the mortal enemy of this arrogant women if I open my mouth without restrain'
"If this inscription pattern were to be constructed with The 37th and 38th pattern broken into four parts :- Red, blue, green and yellow Lu Shape, Originating from the Lu Qigong Book of Heavenly Burst and added with 22 more foundation pattern from Advance level inscription pattern from the Book, Mighty Scarlett Flames, in third volume, page number 769 then it will get the power rivaling that of Lightning Flame Burst, in the Book of Divine Lightning Fire."
Lu Shape? Book of Heavenly Burst Mighty Scarlett flames, Book of Divine Lightning Fire, what is that? The students in the class looked at each other.
Nie Li actually defined how to improve high level inscription pattern! Shen Xiu was beyond furious. She doesn't know of any Book of Divine Lightning Fire or Lu shape or whatever the other ones were.
"Ridiculous! You think you are some kind of inscription master. Such book does not even exist in the world!" Shen Xiu was stunned for awhile and countered. 'What nonsense, who does he think he is? It is probably one of his childish nonsense!'
