Chapter 9 - Deal and Inscription Patterns

Tatsuya looked astonished "Ohh, why would I do that?" Tatsuya asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Nie Li had a lot of ways he could have played this. He could have made Tatsuya realize the true value of those cultivation techniques. Those techniques could easily help someone cross Legend Rank and become a demon spiritualist above legend rank.

But from where he stood Tatsuya, Miyuki, Xiao Ning'Er were his allies. They were people who will stand by him and protect Glory City.

Tatsuya's action just also showed him that he was someone who greatly cared about the safety of this city. Let alone if it wasn't for him the Glory City would have been a lot weaker.

He smiled and raised three fingers "In return, I will help You, Ye Ziyun and Miyuki. Isn't that why you put the other three offers in front of me?"

Tatsuya just shook his head "You don't need to count Ye Ziyun"

Nie Li raised his eyebrow he didn't think Tatsuya would say this. From what he knew Ye Ziyun respected him a lot and they were close too

"Why not?" 'Is he trying to make sure Ye Ziyun doesn't become strong so that she can't challenge his position? If so..'

"You love her, don't you. Deal or No Deal. You will still help her, won't you?"

"uh..huh" Nie was completely shocked for a moment. He didn't think Tatsuya knew about that. It made him think about what else might Tatsuya know.

Lu Piao started laughing. It seemed like all of sudden all tension was blown away "Hahahahah...Yeah, Nie Li totally would."

Du Ze and others also let out a small laugh. Nie awkwardly scratched his cheek but soon had a confident and bright smile "You are right I will still help her"

"Then see you after class in the library" Tatsuya raised his hand to shake Nie Li's.

Nie Li shook his hand and said with a smile "Then see you after class."

As soon as Tatsuya left Lu Piao sat down on the floor "Man!! that was so tense"

Du Ze also sat down "Me too. That guy is something else. He has some weird pressure around him."

Nie Li land the other three also sat down. Nie Li was laughing in his head. Although he didn't feel the same pressure he could tell there was something weird about Tatsuya.

Duze seriously looked at Nie Li and bowed his head while sitting "Nie Li, Thank you for agreeing to the last offer"

Lu Piao also patted Nie Li's shoulder and said cheerfully "Thanks, now I won't have to worry about anything. With Alchemy Associations power Sacred Family wouldn't even try to touch out families."

Nie Li just smiled "You are my brothers. Your safety is my priority.

Tatsuya went back and sat with Miyuki, Ziyun, and Ning'Er

Xiao Ning'Er was the first one to ask "Tatsuya what were you talking about?"

Ziyun was also curious.

Tatsuya looked towards Nie Li then at Ning'Er "I went to make a deal?"

Ziyun asked curiously "Deal? what deal?"

Tatsuya didn't say anything "You will know later."

Ning'Er looked towards Nie Li then Tatsuya she wanted to know. She held his hands "Tatsuya please won't you tell me?"

Tatsuya's expression didn't change "No"

Ning'Er pouted and looked away "Fine"

Miyuki and Ziyun started to chuckle looking at the scene.

At this moment Shen Xiu walked in and started her lecture.

"Today I'm going to talk about Inscription Patterns. Whether if it's fighters or demon spiritists, Inscription Patterns are very important. Inscription Patterns are separated into two parts, respectively the Enchanting Patterns and the Battle Patterns. Enchanting Patterns can be inscribed on armors and weapons. As it can greatly enhance the combat abilities of those armors and weapons, especially if it's used by a Demon Spiritist, they can make use of weapons and armors with Enchanting Patterns on it to release far more power than their base strength. As for Battle Patterns, they are used with Inscription Pattern Scrolls. By inscribing it onto the scroll and then activating it, can have a sudden burst of fighting power!"

The shocking thing is, Shen Xiu began saying substantial content today.

"Inscription Patterns are extremely profound and mysterious. They have been around since the Snow Wind Empire's age. They are being continuously improved on as time goes by. But during the Age of Darkness, the mainland was under the attack of many demon beasts. Glory City only managed to inherit a small portion of them, coming from three categories. Snow Wind Patterns, Sacred Flaming Patterns, War Prime Patterns. Which are the Snow Wind attributes, Fire attributes, and Neutral attributes. Although a few years ago we were able to unearth more patterns they weren't as strong as those three. "

"Today we will be talking about Enchanting Patterns." Shen Xiu said softly, her tone became more gentle compared to the usual tone.

At this time Tatsuya and Miyuki noticed three old men entered the classroom through a portal. But, it seemed like no one could see them. Soon, they took out a few chairs from their interspacial ring and sat down at the end of the classroom.

"The knowledge from the members of the Sacred family is quite profound. Having her teach these students is more than enough!" one of the elderly men said with a smile. He is Ye Sheng, the vice-principal of the Holy Orchid Institute.

"A few students in this class are quite good, no matter if it's Tatsuya, Ye Ziyun, Miyuki, Shen Yue, or Xiao Ning'er," one of the elderly men said sounding very pleased. He is a professor in the Holy Orchid Institute named Lu Ye.

Other than Ye Sheng, a grey-robed, elderly man sat beside them. Lu Ye doesn't know this grey-robed elder's identity. This grey-robed elder just casually sat down but he gives off a powerful, prestigious aura, causing Lu Ye to be careful with his words when he spoke. He didn't dare to make a slight mistake with his speech.

"How is it?" Ye Sheng asked, looking at the grey robe elder.

"Mhm," Grey robed elder non-committally replied.

Lu Ye whispered in his heart, 'What's the identity of this grey-robed elder. He treated Lu Sheng vice-principal with indifference. His status mustn't below. I fear that his status might even be higher than Holy Orchid Institute's principal.'

After thinking about it, Lu Ye dared not to speak anymore.

The students in the classroom didn't know that there were people outside the class observing the lecture. It was hard to imagine that Shen Xiu talked about some substantial stuff, so everyone paid attention and listened.

Shen Xiu slightly raised her chest. Her face, which was full of pride, and said, "Today I want to talk about Sacred Flaming Patterns! In the research on Sacred Flaming Patterns, the Sacred family is no doubt has a well-deserved lead!"

"The Sacred Flaming Patterns has 66 foundation patterns. This pattern, for example....," Shen Xiu drew a totem formed from many patterns coming together on the blackboard, "This is the Scarlet Sunburst Pattern. This pattern was created by the Sacred family's first-generation housemaster. It's the most powerful Bronze pattern! This pattern is made up of 36 foundation patterns combined. It's, also the most complex pattern among the Bronze patterns. Next, we'll talk about these 36 foundation patterns."

Shen Xiu began to talk non-stop.

Miyuki who knew the background of Inscription and whispered to Tatsuya "Shouldn't we release more information about inscriptions"

Tatsuya had thought about it. It was about time they released more information and resources. The City Lord Mansion, Divine Family, and Alchemy Association. Their power was already strong enough that even other families got stronger they could suppress the problems and chaos to the minimum.

"We should release more information with the material that you got as a mission reward."

As they were talking a new Drama started between Nie Li and Shen Xiu.

Miyuki chucked "here we go again"

Tatsuya looked at them creating a disturbance and suddenly frowned "Miyuki did anyone find anything about Sacred Family?"

Miyuki just shook her head she too was confused "Nothing."

Tatsuya looked towards Shen Xiu then Nie Li "Miyuki, make the preparation of capturing Shen Xiu."

Miyuki was surprised "Tatsuya-sama, do you really plan to?"

Tatsuya just watched Shen Xiu "Yeah, something is bugging me. I want to make it clear."

Miyuki thought for a bit and said "We don't have the opportunity to capture her in City. If we did it will cause chaos. She doesn't go out too."

Tatsuya was lost in thought "I guess we will have to find a way to bring her out of the city."

While Tatsuya was thinking about how to kidnap Shen Xiu. He was also paying attention to the current situation.
