"Principal, I suspect you're setting me up."
"No need to doubt, it's pretty obvious."
"Why is that?" Returning to reality, Su Qi still felt lingering fear, his body uncontrollably trembling slightly.
Of course, he didn't suspect that Old Principal Pei was harming him, because there was no need. With Old Principal Pei's strength, he could probably crush him easily.
Pei Jing explained, causing Su Qi's eyes to widen instantly.
He never expected that the reason the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal had not unleashed its secrets was because of the curse of mysterious observation.
Quickly.
In Su Qi's mind, the day of awakening appeared, under the illusion of the river of history, feeling the faint observation by the world, seeming similar to the recent sensation.
Had he experienced the mysterious observation long ago?
This realization sent a shiver down his spine, and he hurriedly asked, "Principal, what is the source of the mysterious observation? Is it really the Heavenly Dao?"
Besides the Heavenly Dao, Su Qi couldn't imagine what kind of great power it could be.
Observing all things, making all beings fear to speak recklessly.
Pei Jing nodded and then shook his head: "It's the Transcendents at the forefront of the Extraordinary Path; they are operating the Heavenly Dao."
This...
Seems even more outrageous!
Have the current Transcendents gone so far?!
Thinking back, he joked about wanting to beat up the Heavenly Dao, never expecting someone had reached such a realm.
Just imagining it was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
At this moment.
The slight pride Su Qi felt from advancing to the Overlord Level in just over a month vanished completely.
He thought he was already abnormal enough.
Didn't expect that someone had long been abnormal beyond understanding.
It seems.
We transmigrators still need to keep striving.
Seeing Su Qi wanting to ask more questions, Pei Jing quickly gestured to stop: "These distant matters are not what we should discuss now; whether or not you were tainted with special aura under the mysterious observation is unknown at our level."
Indeed, many secrets were known only due to Pei Jing's background in the Holy Sanctuary Clan.
There's no way to investigate.
Anyway, that's what everyone says and does; he simply tried it out.
"Let's talk about your situation then; didn't you say you awakened the Support Element during the awakening ceremony? How come you're wielding a big hammer now," Pei Jing asked in confusion.
"Did you awaken a second Mysterious Path?"
"Yes," Su Qi admitted straightforwardly, "Studying medicine can't save foolish... teammates."
"However, my support abilities are quite authentic."
It was hard to explain to Principal Pei the violent nature of healing with one hand and judging with the other, so he explained it as a second Mysterious Path. After all, it wasn't wrong since he genuinely awakened the Blue Fist Saint Path.
"Hmm, a multi-path follower will have a sharp increase in short-term combat power, with potential rising concurrently, though be prepared for greater investment and the drawback of struggling to unlock top-tier abilities in Mysterious Path," Pei Jing clarified.
Su Qi was naturally aware of this.
A single-path Transcendent is akin to pumping the enhancement of one piece of equipment to red level 15.
Multi-path Transcendents are like randomly enhancing all their gear, seeing which hits red 15 first is up to fate.
Nonetheless, Su Qi wasn't worried.
With the ability of God's Favored One, every ability is top-tier.
"Come, let me see how authentic your support Transcendent is," Pei Jing took a few steps back, indicating for Su Qi to use his abilities on him.
Though Transcendents rarely shared the same paths, mostly left to individual exploration, Pei Jing believed he could offer some guidance.
After all, his realm and the vision from his Holy Sanctuary Clan upbringing stood out.
Recognizing Pei Jing's intent, Su Qi wasted no time, raising his hand to cast a series of buffs on him.
Bright rays flickered.
Pei Jing immediately became radiant, instantly feeling an all-around enhancement.
This greatly astonished him.
Auxiliary Transcendents' amplification effects usually relate to the subject's realm, being more effective on lower-level Transcendents while less impactful on higher-level ones.
If Su Qi's amplifications had this effect on him, didn't that mean Su Qi had truly aberrant enhancing effects on himself!?
This seems a bit over the top.
Pei Jing's face twitched a little, feeling like he'd shot himself in the foot.
This student of his was genuinely terrifying.
Though, to maintain his image, he still carefully pondered, trying to identify any potential flaws.
"Hmm!?"
"This is..."
Suddenly.
Pei Jing noticed a familiar fluctuation in one of the amplified abilities Su Qi cast on him, a sensation he longed to experience once more day and night.
Instantly, Pei Jing's expression changed.
His eyes filled with shock and astonishment!
Through the brief yet profound interaction, Pei Jing had already been stunned several times by Su Qi, but this time, it was even more overwhelming than all previous ones combined.
He carefully sensed and compared, fearing any slight discrepancy!
No mistake!
It's it!
With dry lips, filled with anticipation, he cautiously verified: "Su Qi, tell me, was the miracle during the awakening ceremony night... related to you."
Oops.
I've been found out.
Su Qi nodded blankly, previously causing the miracle in a hidden state of God's Favored One with Slow Healing due to his weakness.
Now, with increased strength and receiving Old Principal Pei's emphasis, he boldly admitted.
Although...
Why did Old Principal Pei's demeanor make him feel like he'd been caught sweet-talking someone else's daughter by her father?
Once confirmed by Su Qi.
Pei Jing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement.
After a long while.
He opened his eyes slowly: "Su Qi, although you just experienced a great battle, I still hope you can return to the school with me. There's something I'd like your help with."
"Oh."
...
On the other side.
Following the boss's instructions, Chen Zhen had long arrived at Su Qi's home to oversee.
Such a great figure, usually only seen on screens, was now sitting alive in their home, leaving Su Qi's family utterly shocked.
Sipping the tea prepared by Su Qi's parents, Chen Zhen chuckled, saying: "You don't need to be reserved, relax a bit. I'm just here to visit. Su Qi has something to attend to and might come back later."
Upon hearing this, Su Qi's parents almost fainted.
Late at night.
A bigwig from the Security Bureau sat in your home, saying your son had something to deal with...
This led Su Qi's parents to associate with the billion their son brought back.
Could their son really have committed something wrong?
Su Peidong nervously defended: "Um... Director, my son Su Qi has always been straightforward; if there's any misunderstanding..."
Hearing this.
Chen Zhen immediately realized they misinterpreted due to his position.
He quickly explained: "Nothing of the sort, Su Qi is doing well. He's a pillar of our Ninth District. I'm just passing by to see what kind of environment nurtured such talent."
"I also want to bring my brat over here to gain some good luck."
Upon hearing this, Su Qi's parents finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To appear more approachable and prevent them from feeling overly restrained, Chen Zhen moved to where Su Duoduo was quietly doing homework by herself.
"Really diligent, it seems this little cutie won't achieve any less than her brother in the future."
Upon hearing that she could overshadow Su Qi, even momentarily, Su Duoduo was overjoyed, developing a great liking for Chen Zhen.
Though young, she knew this person was even more formidable than her brother.
Then...
His arithmetic prowess must outmatch Su Qi's!
Hence.
Su Duoduo pushed her math homework forward, sweetly asking for guidance: "Big Uncle, I can't solve this problem, can you teach me?"
Chen Zhen bent down to look.
His eyes instantly turned green.
Math problem!?
What kind of cursed thing is this!
I, a dignified Apostle-level Transcendent, from the Holy City, have never needed such unscrupulous means for awakening.
"Hmm... this problem... is like this, huh..."
This seems a bit over the curriculum.
Next time I'll punish the school's teacher who set such a troublesome problem to distress the Ninth District's future blossoms, is this fun!?
