Chapter 92 - Are You a Primary School Student?

As a true modern person, Feng Xia had seen so many private schools in his life—albeit the fact that they existed in various period dramas.

Back in those few years, period dramas were everywhere.

Whenever he switched on the television, nine out of ten channels were showing period dramas. When he clicked into the video websites, six of the seven trending topics were new period dramas. The themes were so wide that they covered almost everything from palace battles to dramatic fights.

Of course, the place being a private school was only Feng Xia’s very first judgment—this should be a place similar to a school.

“There are books on the shelves. Maybe we can find clues about this street!”

Soon, Feng Xia found the entrance into the building. With a sword in one hand, he walked in carefully. Zhu Youniang followed behind him, her cheeks puffing in and out from time to time like she was blowing bubble gum, as she spitted out an illusory thread from her lips.

As they stepped onto the wooden floor, it made an ear-piercing creaking sound.

The air was cleaner than expected. There was not too much dust even though it had been buried underground for a long time.

“Is anyone there? If not, I’ll kick the door down, alright?”

Feng Xia walked to the front door of the classroom with his sword in hand. He lifted his leg and kicked open the door. He looked around before raising his voice and shouting into the classroom.

“Looks like there’s really no one here.”

He gestured to Zhu Youniang and then carefully walked forward. He maneuvered his way between the tables and chairs and quickly arrived at the bookshelf on the other side of the classroom.

Nothing happened during the entire process.

Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the bookshelf.

“More than 700 years ago, the language of Xuanwu Kingdom should be about the same as it is now. There might be some differences, but there won’t be much change overall… What the hell, which planet’s Martian language is this?!”

However, Feng Xia’s expression darkened after a few glances.

He could not understand it!

After confirming that the pages would not come apart, he flipped through many books. However, it did not take long for him to come to the sad conclusion that he could not recognize any of the words inside them!

“It’s like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Could it be that the words in these books don’t belong to Xuanwu Kingdom from 700 years ago?”

Feng Xia clicked his tongue with a pained expression. He flipped through dozens of books on the bookshelf in a row, but without any exception, he could not recognize a single word on them.

“No. Strictly speaking, the words didn’t look like this even 3,000 years ago!”

Feng Xia did not know the languages of this world.

However, when Patriarch Chenhai imparted to him the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique, he learned the words naturally because everything was passed down through his mind.

“As for the conversations between the patriarch and me, it may seem like we were talking with our mouths, but in fact, it was done through mental vibrations. It’s just that I didn’t notice it at that time…”

Slapping his face vigorously, Feng Xia retracted his scattered thoughts and could only sigh helplessly.

As expected, what was usually described in novels—the act of randomly picking up an ancient book of cultivation technique, instantly achieving the ability to counterattack, and rising to the highest level in defiance of nature—did not exist. This was because before that, one had to first solve the problem of being illiterate.

“However, I can bring some of these books back. I don’t know these words, but perhaps others can see the secret within…”

At the thought of this, Feng Xia grabbed a few thicker books and wanted to turn around and leave. However, in the next moment, he suddenly stood rooted to the ground.

At some point in time, the originally dilapidated classroom had become brand new. The bright sunlight shone in through the window, reflecting figures who were immersed in their studies.

“What just happened?” Feng Xia showed a rare expression of shock.

At this moment, the classroom in front of him was no longer that lifeless and dilapidated structure. Instead, it was filled with an indescribable vitality. Almost every seat was occupied by a student who was studying hard!

These students were of varying ages. The youngest was only seven or eight years old, while the oldest was about the same age as Feng Xia.

What really surprised Feng Xia was…

Even the youngest students had strong cultivation fluctuations!

Among all the students, the one with the highest cultivation was a young man. Judging from his aura fluctuations, he had already reached the fifth level of the Dao Platform Realm!

“Where… have I come to?”

Feng Xia felt at a loss.

Suddenly, an angry shout came from the direction of the podium. “That brat! You don’t listen properly in class and you’re running around. Do you not want to graduate from primary school?!”

“What do you mean by graduating from primary school?! I’m already… Wait, I can understand this guy?!”

Just as Feng Xia was in a daze, a vine cane came flying through the air!

Feng Xia could not dodge in time and was hit squarely by the cane. The magical power in his entire body dissipated involuntarily, causing him to be stunned. He subconsciously sat down on the spot.

He raised his hand and picked up a book. Shaking his head like the other students, he started reading intently.

It was not until more than ten breaths later that Feng Xia suddenly came to a realization.

“Damn it, that was a sneak attack!”

However, he did not know whether to laugh or cry at the method used. It was as if he was suddenly dragged into a coffin by the owner of the tomb when he was digging the grave of someone’s ancestor. Just as he thought that he was dead, the owner of the tomb, who had risen from the dead, brought out a thick stack of test papers…

“What happened earlier? Did I barge into the afterimage of history, or did I accidentally fall into an illusion? Or is there actually someone still living on this long street?”

Feng Xia flipped through the booklet in his hand from time to time, quickly analyzing everything that had happened just now.

It did not take long for him to determine that the ordinary-looking teacher at the podium was most likely the most important person if he wanted to escape from this strange scene!

“However, this person is very strong. He’s at least at the high levels of the Primal Core Realm, or maybe a realm even higher than Primal Core. It’s probably impossible for me to forcefully break through. Moreover, that cane is such a good treasure. It’s specially used to counter the magical power of divine beings. Once hit, one’s magical power will dissipate and it’ll take a long time for it to condense again…”

Feng Xia pondered for a long time, but he could not think of a good way to break out of the situation.

Suddenly, he shifted his gaze from the corner of his eye and looked at the thin booklet in his hand.

“Eh! I think… I think! I can actually understand the words in it!”

Feng Xia stood up excitedly.

The teacher’s expression darkened. “What are you shouting about again?!”

Feng Xia replied with pleasant surprise, “Sir, I can read!”
