Phase One

"I think that we should just continue with your plan, as it would draw less attention to you, and us." said Jin. "And why is that?" asked Nie Li.

"Well, from what I can tell, you have a problem with the Sacred Family, as I could tell from the hatred in your eyes when ever you look at talk about them. So my guess is that they did something terrible in the past life." said Jin quietly. "Oh you have no idea, what they've done in my last life, and my hatred goes beyond the standard level." said Nie Li

"It also doesn't help that they are helping the dark guild, or at least that's what I think they're called" said Jin.

"Where did you learn this, as I haven't completely confirmed this." asked Nie Li through soul transmission.

"In due time....." said Jin.

**********************************************************************************************************

After awhile of gathering supplies, Lu Piao, Du Ze, Nie Li and Jin met back up again. "So what's the plan, and why do we need all of this?" asked Lu Piao. "Well, this is how we are gonna start our first phase of the plan.....Now let's go hunting" said Nie Li while smirking. He was starting to pick up on Jin's habbits as he also had some sort of plan, that may or may not be dangerous.

"AHHHHHHHHH, Shit it's coming after me!!" cried Lu Piao. As he ran through the woods. "Shit" said Nie as he mumbled under his breath.

Du Ze quickly fired an arrow but missed...."Are you even aiming?!!!" yelled Lu Piao "Quickly kill it!!!! I don't wanna get stuck in the butt by this thing!!!!!! I'm still a virgin, I can't die here." yelled Lu Piao as he ran for his life. Although they weren't 1 star bronze rank, getting trampled by these horned sheep wouldn't kill them only serevely injured them.

Du Ze shot again, but he couldn't hit the sheep. Then all of a sudden, both Nie Li and Jin jumped in the air and aimed for the blind spot of the horned sheep and pulled the trigger. Jin's arrow looked like it would miss as the horned sheep jumped, but when it did it got hit by Nie Li's arrow, and fell down and got hit again by Jin's arrow. It was almost like they had planned this the whole time, as if they trained together for many years and knew each other's movement perfectly. They were in perfect sync.

Nie Li was just as shocked as Du Ze was, as he knew how difficult it was to time two attacks together in perfect sync, and usely it requires practice on both parts to even work, let alone doing it in actual combat.

Du Ze couldn't but ask "Are you sure y'all haven't done this before, as y'all had perfect timing and were in perfect sync.....I have never seen anyone do this before."

"Well we are in the same family, but besides that no we haven't done this before...let's just call it luck" replied Jin.

"What were y'all thinkin. I could have died if you didn't shoot it in time!!!!" complained Lu Piao.

"If you hadn't moved then you wouldn't be in this mess, as the trap would have caught it and dealt with it easily." said Jin

After a few hours they decided to rest up a bit. "Man I'm exhausted" said Du Ze and Lu Piao.

"Well get used to it, as this is what we are gonna do for a few weeks, maybe." said Nie Li

About two weeks have past, and Nie Li, and group have been hunting horned sheep. This alarmed the rest of the town, as whenever a person went to hunt them they couldn't be found easily as they used to. It used to be like you could walk around for a few minutes and you could spot one, but now you have to walk for a while before even seeing tracks of them. So the institute tried to check it out, but found nothing so they left it alone.

Back in class were Nie Li, Jin, Lu Piao, Du Ze and the rest of the group, and they were all tired from hunting, and nearly half of them were asleep standing, as they got used to this during their hunt.

"Alright class everybody sit down.....That means y'all too in the back." said Shen Yue "I wonder what this is about." said Du Ze. It was weird having the teacher be so nice, and excited. "Hey, Nie Li do you sense that presence? I feel like someone is watching us." said Jin using the soul transmission

"Yes, I feel it too. I wonder what she's gonna do with these people watching us." Nie Li replied back and said. "Well it shouldn't be to important, since SHE is teaching it." laughed Nie Li. "Just wake me up when class is over" said Nie Li looking at Lu Piao.

"Today, we will be learning about inscription patterns, more importantly we will be discussing about MY family's inscription patterns, the Scarlet Sunburst Pattern. This pattern was created by the Sacred Family's first house master. It is the strongest among the Bronze inscription patterns, and it is made up of 36 foundation patterns combined together..." said Shen Yue, but before she could continue she saw that two kids were asleep in the back and scoffed at them.

"Excuse me! Jin do you know what I just said?" ask Shen Yue angrily. Jin slowly opened his and saw the pattern and laughed lightly. "You call that an inscription pattern....It should be called a rip off!"

"That inscription pattern is incomplete, well it's actually part of another inscription pattern. It also comes from a book called: "The Book of Divine Lightning Flame"." said Jin causally. "Also It's a pretty weak the inscription pattern, and to say it's one of the strongest is a big lie. Did your family's first master have an issue in making inscription patterns, and it is ok to use another source BUT you must include that and not say it was self-created as that wouldn't be true. Even the Snow-Wind Family uses other people's inscription patterns, but they don't claim them to be self-made, do you think that your family is better than everyone. No y'all aren't but instead y'all are a bunch of liers." exclaimed Jin

"You take that back!!!!" yelled Shen Yue "And what proof do you have to say otherwise. If you don't have proof then I'll sue your ass and make you pay, for spreading rumours and telling lies about my family."

"Oh, I think I've heard of that book" said a kid in the class. "There's no way, as such a book couldn't exisits as I have never seen it." said Shen Yue. "Oh, so since you never seen it, that must mean that you have read everybook ever created. Have you?" asked Jin "No I haven't read every book." said Shen Yue kind of worring now. "So, once again you lied....You're like a frog sitting in a well. This frog has never been anywhere outside of this well, and so he though that the sky was only as big as this well. You could call this frog ignorant, as he didn't know what was beyond this well." replied Jin

The whole class started laughing..."Hahahahaha, he called her a frog in a well."

**********************************************************************************************************

Somewhere in a closed room were 3 people. One was the Vice principal- Ye Sheng, the second one was an elder of the Snow-Wind Family- Ye Bai, and the last one was unknown as they weren't in a position to know of this man.

"What is this kid's name. I'll have him expelled for being disrespectful to his elders, and he is wrong about this inscription pattern." said Ye Sheng angrily. He wanted to make a good impression on this unknown person, and didn't want to disrespect him in the process.

"No, he is correct. The Sacrlet Sunburst Pattern is pretty weak, and couldn't be called the strongest. Hmmmmm, let's see if he knows how many patterns it has." said Ye Bai.

**********************************************************************************************************

"It is a low grade Sacred Flaming Pattern. It also is made up of 38 different patterns as the foundation." said Jin "Actually you are wrong it has 36 different patterns." said Shen Yue.

The unknown man was shocked to see this, as this boy only needed just a glance to tell how many inscription patterns were in it. He only knew of this because he was a inscriptist master and this was common knowledge, but to have a boy recognize this was amazing.

"Hah, this kid doesn't know what he is talking about!" said Ye Sheng. "No the boy is correct it is indeed made up of 38 different foundation patterns, and it is a pretty shitty pattern." said Ye Bai.

Ye Sheng felt shocked, as he thought it was only 36, but this boy knew otherwise and with just an glance. "Also what is this book called: "The book of Divine Lightning Flame". asked Ye Bai

Finally the unknown man spoke "Who is this boy, and what is is rank?". "Ummmmm, His name is Nie Li, but people just call him Jin, as his relationship with the Nie family is strange. As for his rank he has a red soul realm, and only 5 soul power." said Ye Sheng after looking him up. "Hmmmmmm, okay, make him a clerk in the library, and if he can translate other books that would be great." said the man. "Why would he be able to translate books?" asked Ye Sheng.

"Well the book he has isn't a language that most people can read, as it's the language of the Snow Wind Empire." said Ye Bai. The unknown man smiled as he was glad to find a rare gem, in this class and espeically a kid nonetheless. Although is soul realm was pretty lacking his knowledge could make up for it.

A slight time fluctuation rippled, and Jin noticed this as he did practise the Void God technique, and this included time stuff. Shit did I mess of the original timeline.....but this wasn't his fault as the teacher had called on him, and he wasn't going to not answer it, espeically since he got to prove her wrong infront of many people. Well whatever that was I can't change it now.

The unknown man also caught a whiff of this time fluctuation, but he didn't think much about it, as this has been happening a lot recently, so everyone who could sense it got used to it.
