Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Holy-grade Talent, it was almost unparalleled in the world. With such talent, if it were someone else, they would have definitely been haughty to the skies, but this "Unrecorded" individual showed no ripples, and even his expressions were just like everyone else's, nothing special...

This spirit of willingly remaining low-profile was admirable.

However... always being so low-profile wasn't really the way to go!

Such a genius surely needed to be identified and specially trained, but how could they do that if they couldn't find him?

After searching for a while longer and still finding nothing, Wu Yunzhou couldn't help saying, "Principal, this person's character is too good, too low-profile, I'm afraid if we don't find him today, he might not come again tomorrow, and the academy would lose a true super genius!"

"That's exactly my worry!"

Lu Mingrong nodded.

With such talent, they had so many teachers, yet none had ever heard of him, and he hadn't even made it onto the top three thousand list... How averse to standing out must one be to achieve that?

This mindset of being detached from worldly strife was even beyond him.

"Principal, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to speak,"

At this moment, the Second Elder Wu Liuyun interjected.

Lu Mingrong said, "Speak!"

Wu Liuyun suggested, "Whether this genius was inside the venue or outside, as long as he isn't one of our former students, won't we know who he is after one pass through the Source Pool Mountain?"

"That's right!"

Wu Yunzhou's eyes brightened: "Source Pool Mountain can test whether the Source Pool is stable or not, and since this person could absorb tens of thousands of strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, his Source Pool must be incredibly strong. Just stepping in would definitely trigger a phenomenon..."

Source Pool Mountain was an apparatus within the academy used to test the stability of a Source Pool. When an Origin warrior stepped into it, it would release a dazzling light, where different colors represented different levels of stability.

Normally, it divided into three colors: red, yellow, and green.

Red light indicated a stable Source Pool, yellow was semi-stable, and green was the weakest.

Of course, emitting no light meant the Source Pool had not yet opened.

"Let's do exactly that! I'd like to see how he keeps a low profile now!"

Lu Mingrong laughed heartily.

He always disliked ostentatious students, but being too low-profile was sometimes troublesome too.

"Then, I'll make the announcement!"

With the principal's approval, Wu Yunzhou no longer hesitated. He looked around and in a clear voice that echoed everywhere announced, "Everyone, the academy has decided on the spot, to add a Source Pool Mountain test. Every individual must undergo it, please follow the teachers' guidance and do not panic..."

"Source Pool Mountain?"

"Isn't it only after absorbing the Heavenly Mandate Vitality and stabilizing the Source Pool that one qualifies to do this? Why start directly?"

Under normal circumstances, a test like this would only be conducted after the complete absorption and stabilization of the Heavenly Mandate Vitality... It was like having to take a test even before lessons started upon entering the academy, isn't that too hasty?

Not only was everyone puzzled, Mo Yanxue also felt confused. She had gathered with Yu Xiaoyu, Yu Feng, and Zhang Xuan, all looking at each other, unaware of what the academy was up to.

"I just heard someone say, it seems... there appeared a super genius, walking through the Source Pool Mountain. Could it be they want to identify this person?"

Yu Feng, with his well-connected information, explained.

"A super genius?"

Mo Yanxue's furrowed brows relaxed slightly: "That explains it. No wonder the principal wants to take on direct disciples, it must be targeting this individual."

"I really hope to become the genius the principal notices..."

Yu Xiaoyu nodded, her eyes full of longing, and before she finished speaking, she noticed the coachman not far away, "Zhang Xuan, why have you also come to the front of the platform? Could it be you too want to practice?"

"I do want to practice, but alas, I lack a cultivation method," Zhang Xuan said with an embarrassed look.

Being called a top genius wherever he went, the World's Teacher now couldn't even find where his Source Pool was, which made him feel somewhat inferior...

"You haven't practised even once?"

Yu Xiaoyu finally realized, looking at Mo Yanxue, "Yanxue, aren't you being a bit too stingy? As I said before... hand him over to me, I'll teach him!"

"No need; I will handle my own subordinates!"

Shaking her head, Mo Yanxue took out a book from her bosom and handed it over, "This is our Mo Family's 'Hong Mountain Pool-Seeking Method,' a reward for your earlier competition with Liu Mingyue. You can start learning from it, and if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

"This... what about the 100 Origin Currency?" Zhang Xuan asked, his face full of conflict.

Although he really wanted the cultivation method, money was equally important!

Mo Yanxue frowned, not expecting him to still be conflicted at this time, "Choose between the cultivation method or the Origin Currency yourself!"

"Miss, may I have a look at this secret manual before making a decision? Rest assured, I won't open the book."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan spoke.

"Hmm!" Having intended to give the book to him, Mo Yanxue didn't mind.

Zhang Xuan received the book, and the moment his fingers touched it, he exclaimed inwardly.

"Flaws!"

Boom!

The Library of Heaven's Path flickered with alternating lights; the power of Heavens' Imperfections kicked in, and the book, which had absorbed the Heavenly Mandate Vitality, suddenly changed its surface text. Five big characters appeared on the pages—Hong Mountain Pool-Seeking Method!

"It's a replacement of books, not a creation..."

After taking a look, Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

Previously, the Library of Heaven's Path would generate a duplicate of any book it touched, marking its flaws, but now, it only replaced books that had absorbed Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

It seemed that the Library, although activated, was still quite weak.

Having no time to ponder these thoughts, Zhang Xuan looked reluctant, but eventually shook his head and handed the secret manual back, "Miss, I've thought it over... I still want the 100 Origin Currency."

"To be able to practice and become an Origin warrior, then earning 100 Origin Currency becomes rather simple..." Seeing him make this choice, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help but say.

"I've thought it over..." Zhang Xuan bowed with his fist.

"If you miss this chance, I won't give you a second opportunity!"

Mo Yanxue's gaze was cold.

"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Hmph!" Not wanting to say more, Mo Yanxue took out a hundred Origin Currency and casually tossed them over.

She had thought him ambitious and eager to learn; it turned out he was just covetous of riches all along.

In an instant, any good feelings that had just formed evaporated.

Truly, a hopeless case!

"Thank you very much, Miss!"

Zhang Xuan's face was brimming with joy.

With the books already replicated by the Library of Heaven's Path, what use was there in asking for more? Of course, it was better to take the money!

"Actually, choosing this way is the most correct..."

Seeing his sister and Miss Mo somewhat puzzled, Yu Feng said, "Brother Zhang's age has crossed twenty. His meridians have been fully formed, not to mention, even if he finds a Source Pool, who knows when it will be opened, and the key resources he needs due to his status could take forever to gather... Rather than relying on something so illusory, it's better to take what's urgently needed."

"That's true!" Yu Xiaoyu suddenly understood.

Mo Yanxue frowned but ultimately said nothing.

In this light, it did make sense.

The older one gets, the lesser the potential, and whether one could open the Source Pool in one's lifetime remained questionable; though lacking in ambition, this guy at least had the sense to realize this.

"Let's go, let's head to Source Pool Mountain to test and see who exactly is the genius that has the School Head talking nonstop..."

No longer fussing over this, Mo Yanxue started walking forward.
