The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1097

(Unedited)

…

"Before we begin, let's talk about the continent we are in, right now… who can tell me what the continent is called?" a tall young teacher asked with his long hair tied in a ponytail behind him.

His name is Teacher Fa Ranxin, and he is one of the new teachers in the academy who has reached the 3rd level as an alchemist.

As a 3rd level alchemist in a small town like Ogden and its nearby villages, he could already be considered as a top figure. But he decided to give his time to teaching students in an alchemy class in the number 1 academy in the town. And because of this, Fa Ranxin has been praised as a teacher with good morals, especially by his previous students.

So while he is teaching on the platform, a few female students are looking at him with their lovely eyes.

At this time, the special students have already been combined with the rest of the regular freshmen students in the academy. The reason for this is to prevent any discrimination and segregation.

Though the new freshmen are weak when it comes to their cultivation, yet their ability is a bit stronger when it comes to their profession, so those freshmen who are stronger would not act out because of the ability of the new students.

It would pose a challenge to them to make them push harder in their line of profession.

In the back of the row sits the quiet Xin Ja as he listens and while reading his textbooks.

Xin Ja has learned a lot from what he could read in the academy. He now truly knows the difference when it comes to formal education and random learning outside.

He might have teachers, but those teachers would not teach him basic common sense. Instead, they would teach him about their own line of profession. So getting this kind of knowledge is something very important for Xin Ja.

"So… this world is called Myrth… And it has three known continents… However… there is a big part of this world that is unknown to all. Many believe at first that this world is flat. Even now, many still have that notion as people could only discover the three continents and nothing else. Those who venture beyond that would go missing and never to return…" he muttered while reading.

"So this world is called Myth, eh… That's a nice name… sound like Earth." Xin Ja thought with a slight chuckle in his heart.

He took lessons from Shin Jiao, his previous self, so he is aware that there are other worlds out there.

He might also be the only one who knew why the three continents are separated from the rest of the world. The three continents are just three huge lands separated by the sea. The truth is, they should just belong to one continent as he has learned from Wang Song.

And going out of this continent would make one lose his powers. And if that happens, they would become weak mortals and would not be able to return to this place.

He did not know why the separation and if the explanation of Wang Song is right, but all he knew is that he has the ability to actually cross that wall and safely go to the other side. And Xin Ja would feel excited upon thinking about when that day would come.

The class is a bit of new knowledge for him and his teacher is a good one, so Xin Ja enjoyed his first period in the class.

Then the second period started and this time a woman enters the room. The female teacher is a voluptuous woman in her 40's, but her face looks like she is only in her mid-20. She has a high cultivation level at the 5th level, and she exudes a strict aura.

So… although she looks gorgeous and sexy, no one dares say anything and could only appreciate her in their hearts. But, this time, there is someone who would dare flirt with her.

Qing Joming, upon seeing the female teacher immediately stood up as if he saw someone he has known.

His eyes are bulging while looking at her while her lips are quivering. No one can describe his mix of expressions and emotions.

"Alright, before we start, I want to introduce myself to the new students in this class… I am Teacher Hou Anqing, and I will be teaching you all about the basics of potion crafting…" she started but then stopped when she noticed Qing Joming still standing at the back of the class.

"Yes… do you have any concern… student?" she asked with a frown.

Upon seeing her expression, Qing Joming almost fell down on his knees.

"I… I have none… except for one." Qing Joming said with an expression of happiness on his face.

"Well… What is it?" she asked with a hint of impatience.

On the side of Qing Joming, Xin Ja is already signaling him not to do anything rash. But how could his friend see his signal? Right now, one could already tell that Qing Joming looks like some love-sick fool.

"Where have you been all my life?... In which heaven have you come from? My lovely fairy!..." he asked with fluttering eyes.

When Hou Anqing heard this, her expression immediately turned dark. In her many years of experience as a teacher, she has encountered such a student every once in a while. So she is already used to such fools.

She lifted one of her brows.

When this occurs, most of the old students already knew what's going to happen next, so they immediately duck below their desks.

Xin Ja showed a hint of suspicion in his eyes. From his experience in the wild, he could almost detect if something or someone is going to make a move. So this time, he could already see through what his teacher is going to do.

But it made him feel a hint of dread in his heart. He did not know that a teacher would be so vicious as to make a move on a 1st level student.

From what he could see, the teacher is a 5th level Ki fighter, so why would she sneak attack Qing Joming. But he has no time to think about anything else. It was like a reflexive movement of his hands. When a burst of ice was about to surround Qing Joming's area, a bone filled with runes immediately came flying out and hitting Qin Joming's face.

This in turn slightly knocks him out of his reverie. But before he could react he was immediately covered in a ball of ice.

Everyone who is close to Qin Joming's seat immediately ran away and dare not stay with that fool. How could they let themselves fall into that icy circumstance? They could not imagine how would they feel while inside that thing, as it is a power cast by a 5th level Ki fighter?

In fact, this kind of attack is caused by using a talisman imbued with an innate ability of water. From what Xin Ja could tell, it seems that the teacher's innate ability is that of water.

"Alright, let's continue… Let that foolish boy stay inside there for a while to teach him some manners…" Hou Anqing said which initiated some students to chuckle.

Some of the old students who have experienced such treatment did not say anything and just feel their bodies shivering in fright upon remembering such a memory.

But then… before the class could continue, they all suddenly heard some cracking sound.

Crash!!!

The ice sphere broke apart and the unharmed figure of Qing Joming stood there in a daze. In his hand, he is holding a weird object which is glowing with runes.

Qing Joming is watching everyone around him and then shifting his gaze to the thumb-size piece of bone which is filled with glowing runes.

"That… that is protection rune array…" this time, Hou Anqing is the one who showed surprise in her eyes while looking at Qing Joming.

Then suddenly she recalled that before she was able to throw that surprise attack something came flying at the foolish student from a certain direction.

Then her eyes shifted to Xin Ja who is still calmly sitting on the side.

"So it's him… This fellow is able to react at such a quick speed. This… this is a talent in rune, and someone who has battle instinct." She thought as a random idea came to her mind.

Though the boy looks small and simple, yet she could not deny that fast reflexive action that is rare to find among the youth his age.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind as she quickly made her decision. She picks up a writing stone on her table and secretly threw it towards that youth.

Upon doing so, she immediately noticed that the youth's eyes turned serious. His expression which looks like he is clueless about a lot of things suddenly became sharp.

Then his hand suddenly moved and the writing stone disappeared from sight.

Upon seeing this, her eyes went wide and immediately walked towards Xin Ja's seat.

"You follow me… now.." She said with a stern voice.
