Soul Realm

When Nie Li put it this way, if the Sacred Family were to go after Nie Li, wouldn't that indicate that the Sacred Family was a bunch of villains?

No matter if it was Shen Xiu or Shen Yue, both were angered to a point where they almost vomited blood.

Ye Ziyun couldn't help but look at Nie Li again, she never thought that Nie Li would be so daring as to actually offend the Sacred Family, one of the three Major families in Glory City. Recently, Nie Li's actions made her unable to ignore his existence. Curiosity rose from Ye Ziyun's heart. What kind of person was Nie Li really?

As for Xiao Ning'er, hearing how Nie Li used his sharp words to attack the weak spot of the Sacred Family, she couldn't help but feel happy. Her family had always been wanting to marry her off to the Sacred Family, but in her heart she was conflicted. From the start her impression towards the Sacred Family hadn't been good. Hearing how Nie Li subdued Shen Xiu and Shen Yue with his words to the point that they were speechless all while playing the rascal, she couldn't help laughing. At the same time her heart was deeply filled with adoration for Nie Li. How profound must one's knowledge have been in order to tell the source of the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern with just a glance? So while these people were busy wasting their time, Nie Li had been reading books all along.

At this moment, outside the classroom, Lu Ye hastily ran towards the grey robed elder and the Vice-Principal's direction and passed the Book of Divine Lightning Fire to the grey robed elder.

Vice-Principal Ye Sheng repeatedly directed his attention to the grey robed elder's expression.

The grey robed elder flipped the Book of Divine Lightning Fire to page 30 of the seventh volume, diagram six. Seeing the Lightning Fire Inscription Pattern in the book, then comparing it with the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern, his face became sullen and he did not say anything.

Ye Sheng dared not speak. This truly was a scandal for the Sacred Family. This matter involved the upper level of Glory City, therefore on this matter he didn't dare to say anything.

The grey robed elder looked at the Book of Divine Lightning Fire. The words on it were very complex, even he only recognised a small part of the words. Nie Li actually had such profound knowledge, which caused him to be astonished. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "This student, how is the innate talent of Nie Li?"

Ye Sheng looked at Lu Ye. When it came to such a nameless student, the Vice-Principal wouldn't know much about him.

Lu Ye hastily replied, "I just looked him up, he only has a red soul realm."

The grey robed elder nodded his head "Such a pity, this child is so well educated. It's a pity that his innate talent is only this much, otherwise his future would be promising. Ye Sheng, arrange for him a library clerk position!"

"Yes!" Ye Sheng hastily nodded his head, he knew of the grey robed elder's love for talented individuals. Although Nie Li's innate talent was poor, he was knowledgeable and could even read the Book of Divine Lightning Fire. By becoming a library clerk, he could also research and study more books like these. Everyone in Glory City had their priority on training their cultivation. Very few would research and study these kind of ancient books. This arrangement made by the grey robed elder was in order to protect Nie Li. After all, the job of library clerk was to work inside the school, this way the Sacred Family wouldn't be able to suppress Nie Li.

But, would Nie Li fear the suppression of the Sacred Family? If it was in the past life, Nie Li would definitely have had his tail between his legs, fearing the Sacred Family to the extreme. But in this life Nie Li definitely wouldn't swallow his grievances.

This resentment , Nie Li had kept tabs on it all this time and still had to repay the Sacred Family!

Shen Xiu looked at Nie Li with enmity. Her hatred for Nie Li had reached the limit, coldly saying, "Today's matters, I will remember them!" Shen Xiu was a vindictive person, and, as Nie Li's teacher, she naturally had a lot of ways to cause trouble for Nie Li.

"Heh heh", Nie Li sneered incessantly. As a teacher, she had actually threatened a student in her class, so shameless! Even if the Sacred Family didn't look to trouble him, he would take the initiative to trouble the Sacred Family!

This was still the first battle, Nie Li still had a lot of tactics to deploy. However, he didn't want to reveal his hand at the moment as his current strength was still not enough. He couldn't offend the Sacred Family too much, after all they were still one of the Major families of Glory City. Nie Li clearly understood that he desperately needed to enhance his strength.

After that, Shen Xiu wasn't in the mood to continue the lecture, and hastily ended the lesson.

The things that happened in the lesson spread quickly among the students, passing from one to another. For the usually lofty Sacred Family, no matter how much they tried to cover it, this kind of action violated the Demon Spiritualists' code of conduct and thus would be disdained by all Demon Spiritualists. The Sacred Family could only see Nie Li as a thorn in their side, but couldn't do anything to Nie Li. On the contrary, if anything were to happen to Nie Li, everyone would suspect the Sacred Family. Such a blatant action, even the Sacred Family couldn't dare to do it, after all the Sacred Family couldn't hide the truth from the masses.

After this incident, the Sacred Family's prestige was greatly affected. It was said that the house master of the Sacred Family had tried to visit Ye Ziyun's father, the city lord of Glory City, but was rejected.

For Nie Li, this was something to be happy about.

Although he didn't know how to get near Ye Ziyun, if he could destroy the marriage between Shen Yue and Ye Ziyun, then it was definitely something to be happy about.

After today's incident, Ye Ziyun's image of Shen Yue was reduced by quite a bit.

--- Vice-Principal's office ---

Shen Xiu's sharp voice sounded.

"Vice-Principal Ye Sheng, this student Nie Li has no respect for his elders. He openly contradicts his teacher in class. Simply, nasty to no extent. I request the approval of Vice-Principal to have him expelled from school!" Shen Xiu said emotionally.

Even without the elder's words, with Nie Li's profound knowledge, even if he couldn't become a powerful Demon Spiritualist in the future, he could still become an important individual to some powerful Demon Spiritualists, how could Ye Sheng expel such a student? Moreover Nie Li had the appreciation of that elder. But after all, Shen Xiu was a member of the Sacred Family, he still needed to give her some face, smiling as he replied "I will consider this matter. To let a student be expelled from school would still have great impact."

"Vice-Principal Ye Sheng, there's nothing to consider. I request the immediate expulsion of Nie Li, otherwise I will not teach the class!!" Shen Xiu said angrily.

Ye Sheng's eyes flashed, "Shen Xiu, this woman doesn't know when to stop." Putting on a smiling face, he said "That being the case, how about I transfer you to another class then?"

Shen Xiu slightly hesitated, she thought that Ye Sheng would give some face to the Sacred Family, but in his words, Shen Xiu heard some meaning, Ye Sheng had firmly decided to protect Nie Li. If she was transferred to another class, she wouldn't have any way to trouble Nie Li. Shen Xiu cursed Ye Sheng in her heart, but swallowed this feeling and said, "No need then. Let's forget today's matter. Two months later there'll be the Apprentice Fighter test. If he's ranked in the the last three in the Apprentice Fighter class, then Vice-Principal Ye Sheng would have nothing else to say right? According to the rules of Holy Orchid Institute, being ranked in the last three would require them to be expelled from the school!"

"No problem with that!" Ye Sheng laughed.

Shen Xiu let out a grunt, turned around and walked towards the door.

Seeing Shen Xiu leaving, Ye Sheng's eyes flashed a hint of chill. Shen Xiu relied on being a member of the Sacred Family and was a little too arrogant and domineering. Ye Sheng thought again, even if Nie Li's results were poor, with his profound knowledge, he wouldn't be in the bottom three. Even if he was in the bottom three and was expelled from school, that elder would probably reach out to recruit Nie Li.

At this moment in the school library's 3rd floor, there were a lot of small rooms They were originally meant as Holy Orchid Institute's student reading rooms, but at this moment, they became the base of Nie Li and his group because Nie Li had been hired by the Holy Orchid Institute to be a library clerk. Being a clerk didn't require one to do anything and one would receive three hundred demon spirit coins every month. Getting these kind of benefits, who wouldn't agree?

The action of Holy Orchid Institute hiring Nie Li was very strange, but once giving it a little thought for a moment, Nie Li understood why. The higher level of Holy Orchid Institute did this to protect Nie Li from the suppression of the Sacred Family! Although the position of library clerk wasn't big, he was still a clerk of the Holy Orchid Institute, even if it was the Sacred Family, they would still worry about repercussions.

In this matter, Nie Li was grateful towards the Holy Orchid Institute.

Vice-Principal Ye Sheng didn't know that, because of the elder's words that caused Nie Li to be hired as a library clerk, Holy Orchid Institute would greatly benefit in the near future.

"Nie Li, offending the Sacred Family like this, wouldn't it be bad?" Du Ze spoke after being silent for a moment. He was more of a cautious man.

"Who cares if it's good or not, it's fine as long as it feels great." Lu Piao curled his lips. Seeing Shen Xiu's face become distorted from anger, he felt great about it. In any case he had been unhappy about this woman.

Nie Li looked towards Du Ze nodding his head "I know! In the last few days we haven't gone to class, Shen Xiu is probably anxious."

Since Nie Li already put it this way, Du Ze also didn't say anything else.

At this moment beside Nie Li,Du Ze, and Lu Piao, there were still three more commoner students. They were the ones who had stood at the back of the class with Nie Li. Their innate talent wasn't that good as well, only having red soul realms. As for these three commoners, their names were, Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun and Zhang Ming. Nie Li also trusted them. In the previous life they had all been Du Ze's direct subordinates. Their relations with Nie Li couldn't have been considered good but they had all been loyal towards Du Ze until the end. In the battle with the demon beasts before Glory City was destroyed, they had defended the city to their last breath and had died in the battle with Du Ze. They were all blood brothers!

And in this life, the small group of them were being led by Nie Li.

"I just spent more than six thousand demon spirit coins to purchase six primary soul crystals. I want to test your aptitude!" Nie Li said while looking at them.

"Test aptitude? Didn't we already have our aptitude tested when we enrolled into school?" Du Ze asked feeling puzzled.

Nie Li mysteriously smiled saying "My test is different from that one!"

Everyone in the room had their doubts. Ever since the establishment of Glory City, they had always been using the usual method. Their soul force had already been determined, what did Nie Li want to test? One primary soul crystal cost one thousand demon spirit coins and Nie Li had actually bought six in one go! Although they had some doubts regarding Nie Li's words, due to the profound knowledge that Nie Li had showed earlier on, they were quickly convinced by Nie Li's words.

"Generally, unused soul crystals are the most sensitive. If it is used to test a person's soul realm they will be extremely accurate. But once there is more than one person who has used the same soul crystal, the soul crystal will have interference and can barely test the soul realm's type and the strength of the soul force," Nie Li said, laughing.

"Other than a soul realm's type and the strength of the soul force, what else can be tested?" Lu Piao asked curiously.

"The attributes and form of the soul realm!" Nie Li answered with a smile.

Du Ze, Lu Piao and the rest all looked at each other, what Nie Li had just said sounded very profound.
