Liu Li’s reasons were simple. A strength type metahuman was only Class F and he could complete a cycle of training within 9 days. As soon as he reached Class E and acquired superhuman powers, what could Lu Shu, a strength type, do to him?
Xi Fei also mentioned that tier Ds required half a month of training but did not speak about tier E or F. That was to leave them with some pride and also to not make them lose hope.
But everyone knew clearly that the difference between tier B and F aptitude was like heaven and earth.
Although he could not do anything about Lu Shu right now, it was a matter of time before he could completely overtake him!
If nothing goes wrong, Lu Shu’s aptitude was graded tier F and it would probably remain tier F forever.
As he thought about this, Liu Li was relieved. The incident just now was quite traumatic. While the rest were showing off to the other normal students, how did his showing off cause such a situation?!
Jiang Shuyi came into class and out of curiosity, asked,
You’ve awakened as a strength type?


Yup,
Lu Shu nodded. Only by mixing his lies and truths was he able to intimidate others, and letting others know about him awakening as a strength type did not pose any problem. Look at Li Qi.
But needless to say, Lu Shu was indeed too careful. He had to witness that someone else was fine before he was willing to try the same thing. Otherwise, there would be no consideration.
On the other hand, he knew that Li Xianyi had always been a swordsman and never faced any problems all these years so what could happen to himself? He was just worried about that 0.1% chance.
If that 0.1% really happened, what would happen to Lu Xiaoyu? Her training was already resolved and no one could bully her but she was such a glutton, how could she feed herself…
Jiang Shuyi had even more questions,
What is it like to be a strength type metahuman? So are you a Class F now and how heavy are your punches?

Obviously, Lu Shu could not answer truthfully about the feeling of awakening and decided to just repeat what Li Qi had said. As for how heavy his punches were, he said he did not know.
Lu Shu also had questions for Jiang Shuyi,
What did you feel when practicing the Yinyang kinship of the three? Have you completed one cycle?

This was also in preparation for the night. Xi Fei had requested for everyone to update on their progress and he should at least find out how the training was like.
Everyone else could train normally but for him, the energy was instantly suppressed by his celestial map.
Jiang Shuyi thought for a moment and replied,
Spent about 2 hours getting the feel of it and the transfer of energy became smoother. The energy formed a flow which traveled around my body, following the route of the Base Chakra.

Lu Shu was stunned,
That’s really complicated. Let me google what the Base Chakra is, hold on…

Jiang Shuyi laughed,
The Base Chakra is the bottommost of the 7 Chakras which is also the energy focal point. It is the foundation for the whole body system and also where energy originates from.

Ah, that cleared things up. Lu Shu was judging Jiang Shuyi. Previously, he had not seen that many Daoism books and so never came across this term.
He thought that this deskie his was quite knowledgeable. Was it because of recent research, or did he already knew all these long before? Lu Shu thought that the latter was more likely as Jiang Shuyi sounded very confident and spoke without a tinge of doubt.
Also… It was his first day practicing so how could he have possible knew about the Chakra?
Not good, not good… Lu Shu felt a need be more careful.
Could there be some secretive family line out there? But it did not seem to be that awesome as seeing that Li Xianyi managed to cultivate something in a magical energy-lacking environment so why Jiang Shuyi had not?
Talking about families, Lu Shu was not sure about what secretive or hidden households there were but in the modern city society, there were definitely some big family names out there. If these people were interested in metahumans, they could easily recruit or provide their children with the required resources and they would definitely be much stronger than those at the bottom of the Daoyuan class.
And so… he should be more flexible with his judgment as there was always someone better than you and one day, that someone may just appear.
Wait, Lu Shu suddenly asked,
You said you took 2 hours to get the feel, what does that mean?

Surprised, Jiang Shuyi glanced at Lu Shu,
I couldn’t feel the energy at the start, how long did you take?

Sht! Lu Shu was taken aback. Jiang Shuyi had tier B aptitude and took 2 hours to find the feeling and how long did Lu Shu take? He was able to feel the energy right from the start!
So what could his aptitude be? Tier A?
Lu Shu replied,
I still haven’t found the feeling.


Come on, I’m sure you can do it. If there’s anything you’re unsure of you can ask me,
Jiang Shuyi comforted.
Lu Shu was feeling kind of bad. Jiang Shu had been very comforting these two days and yet Lu Shu could not be honest with him. But he had no choice, what he could not reveal were meant to be kept a secret. He suddenly thought that this youngster had quite a pleasant personality but sadly, was not a girl.
But no matter what, anything that concerned the lives of his family was out of bounds. Who would believe that a Class F aptitude could find the feeling right away?
No one believing would actually be the best outcome but if someone were to and dragged you to do a full body check, who could survive that?
Would you trust someone else with your secret? Trusting yourself would be better…
17 years of being an orphan taught Lu Shu to live a bit more selfishly.
Living in this world, Lu Shu had no other choice.
At night, Xi Fei really requested everyone to report their progress in front of the others and Liu Li confidently announced that he had already completed one cycle while Jiang Shuyi was more humble about it.
This was just like announcing exam results during the normal school days but the difference was that this took place every day while exams only occurred once a month.
This must be to incentify everyone to work harder!
It was Lu Shu’s turn and he reported that he had not found the feeling yet. The other 2 tier Fs said the same thing and at that instant, felt a sense of empathy with Lu Shu and was considering to form a group within the 3 of them for some mutual support.
As they were transfer students, they knew nothing about Lu Shu… Hoping for his help? Hehe, not going to happen.
Maybe if they had asked around they would know that in Sophomore Class 3, Lu Shu was almost like a demon king kind of entity.
This had nothing to do with his potential, but just being close to him would cause your heart to explode.
Lu Shu’s previous deskie Ye Lingling shared this sentiment. Just being 2m away from Lu Shu made the sky look brighter!
