The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#542 - Chicken Eye Wrap

Now that Lu Jing had entered the academy to cultivate, he naturally thought about becoming a Supervisor.

However, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

It was like you just finished your first semester of university, and the Dean of Academic Affairs called you to the office, handed you a graduation certificate, and told you that you could go out and find a job and face the harsh realities of society.

But you haven't even taken the CET-4 exam yet.

Lu Jing was now very confused, completely unsure of what Supervisor Huang was up to.

"So, are you sending me to be a Supervisor or to continue taking classes at the academy?" Lu Jing was also dizzy.

"Since you are a disciple of the academy, of course, your studies should be your priority. As for investigating cases… just consider it a punishment for causing trouble this time, just like when you were previously punished to work in the academy's farmland, except this time you have to leave the academy and directly face those strange creatures."

Supervisor Huang said, "But you don't need to worry too much. We're not asking you to be completely independent right away. There will be a real Supervisor to guide you. Hmm, you can be considered that adult's assistant."

After a pause, Supervisor Huang added, "Although you're just going to help out, don't do a bad job and embarrass the academy. This is also an experiment for the academy. If this combination works, other newcomers will follow your example and help investigate cases."

"What, have you caught so many people recently committing mistakes?" Lu Jing seized the key point.

"Of course not. In the history of the academy, no one has ever been as capable of causing trouble as you," Supervisor Huang couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, he explained, "Recently, many places have shown traces of strange creatures. The manpower of the Department of Dusk is also unprecedentedly strained. The usual two-person team is now somewhat unable to cope."

"The Department and the academy have also discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to try a combination of one Supervisor and one academy disciple. If it works, the manpower crisis should be greatly alleviated."

Although Supervisor Huang tried to make it sound as relaxed as possible, Lu Jing still smelled an unusual aura from it and asked, "Is the manpower of the Department of Dusk so strained now that academy disciples have to fill in? Aren't you afraid they'll encounter danger?"

"What, are you afraid?" Supervisor Huang glanced at Lu Jing.

"I'm fine, but I'm a little worried about others," Lu Jing said truthfully.

As a first-rate expert, he had mastered two martial arts, and this time in the world within the book, because of constantly changing bodies, internal energy and secret force were useless. He could only grind the proficiency of martial arts moves.

So, Lu Jing flipped through his martial arts library. Among them, the Mad Demon One Hundred and Eight Staffs had already been mastered to perfection, and there was nothing more to practice. The cultivation of Wind and Cloud Change required deep internal energy to support it, so Lu Jing could only exclude it.

As for the Fire Scale Armor, it was also a martial art that was only useful if his own body was trained.

Finally, Lu Jing's gaze focused on the Four Stables that the Old Blind Man had taught him.

As for Splitting Mountain Palm or something, it was too common. Even if it was well-practiced, the upper limit would not be high, so Lu Jing never considered it from the beginning.

In short, in those worlds within the book, as long as he was free, he would practice the Four Stables for a while, and he finally almost grinded this martial art to great perfection.

Unfortunately, he had no internal force at that time, so this skill could only be used to strengthen the body and bully ordinary people.

But now it was different. He had returned to the real world and become a first-rate expert again. With a massive amount of internal force as a backing, this set of Four Stables could truly发挥 out its power.

Lu Jing could now say without modesty that in today's martial world, no one could compare to him in a one-on-one fight.

In addition, he was about to become a Second Palace cultivator. Even if he faced a powerful strange creature, he would have considerable self-protection ability.

But others didn't have his cultivation. Now that they had to face strange creatures directly, there would still be a lot of danger.

However, Supervisor Huang didn't explain anything further, but only said to Lu Jing.

"You just need to take care of your own affairs. Anyway, usually you just continue to study hard in the academy. When you are needed to investigate a case together, that Supervisor will naturally contact you."

"Generally speaking, the time for each case investigation will not be too long. At most, one case per month."

"Who is the person partnering with me?" Lu Jing asked again.

"It hasn't been decided yet, but anyway, the decision is not in your hands. It's useless to ask. You might as well wait patiently. You'll know when the time comes," Supervisor Huang said, "Any other questions?"

"Yes, there are, but I guess you won't answer. I always feel like you're hiding something from us," Lu Jing said.

He wasn't stupid. He could feel the undercurrents recently, not only the turmoil outside, but also the cultivation world.

Whether it was the mysterious Mr. Ji or Guo Shouhuai's sudden disappearance for more than a month, it was clear that something big was about to happen.

However, Supervisor Huang only sighed, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that now is not the time. Wait a little longer, wait until you become stronger, and then even if you don't want to know, I will tell you."

"Alright," Lu Jing didn't dwell on it anymore. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be taller people to hold it up first. Guo Shaojian, Supervisor Huang, and Su Tixue were all there. It wasn't his turn to worry about it.

Lu Jing was now thinking about what kind of strange creature he would have to deal with in his first case.

Speaking of strange creatures, others might be unfamiliar, but counting [Gui Zi Sixty-Six], this was almost the fourth strange creature that Lu Jing had solved.

Lu Jing's heart was no longer as nervous as it was the first time he faced it. Moreover, according to Supervisor Huang, there would be a real Supervisor with him this time, and Lu Jing only needed to help out and provide support.

And maybe he could take the opportunity to see if there were any strange creatures that could solve his problem of excess power.

Speaking of excess power, according to Lu Jing's calculations, he should have become a Second Palace cultivator long ago, but he was delayed in the world within the book. His plan to absorb secret force with [Gui Zi Sixty-Six] had also failed.

Fortunately, the methods he had prepared before could still be used. Thinking of this, Lu Jing planned to continue to find Ah Hua to practice his Beast Taming Formation. The last cooperation between the two was quite pleasant, and Ah Hua had also rested for almost a month and should have fully recovered his energy.
