Chapter 241: Chapter 23 Personal Mission, First eting with the Master_2
Li Fei’s mind raced.
A distinguished lecturer from Wuda, Chen Xiang, was actually colluding with a spy from i Jia Country. Such a scandal was grave for Wuda. If it were a regular student who had caused this, perhaps the upper echelons of the school might have displaced their anger onto him.
However, Li Fei felt he wouldn’t be affected since he now showed a value far exceeding that of a distinguished lecturer.
“Alright, I understand. I will go to Qingyun Tower right now.”
Li Fei bowed to Wen Ke.
He was confident that Wuda wouldn’t harm him, so he decided to take on this task to see what it entailed.
After leaving the administrative building, Li Fei walked toward Qingyun Tower and soon entered the task hall on the first floor.
As he entered the hall, he saw a staff mber approach a blackboard to update the task content.
After the staff mber left, Li Fei walked up to the blackboard and looked up, seeing the top task listed as:
[Individual Task (036785)
Required Academic Points: 200
Task Details: Discuss in detail with Professor Xu Jing
Task Reward: 60 Academic Points]
Surrounded by the blackboard were nurous students who all showed surprise upon seeing the newly posted task.
Tasks issued by the task hall, much like the classes offered by the lecturers, had an “entrance threshold”—the total number of Academic Points accumulated, and one must et the standard to qualify for the task.
Individual task rewards typically did not exceed 20 points, those above 30 were rare, and a reward of 60 points was unprecedented!
This ant that whoever completed this task could directly graduate from Wuda.
“What kind of task is this? Such a high threshold? So much reward?”
“Who is Professor Xu Jing? Why have I never seen this professor teaching any class?”
“How strange.”
“…”
The surrounding students discussed animatedly.
Li Fei was equally curious, but without hesitation, he noted down the task number and approached a nearby task window, passing over his student ID:
“Hello, I’d like to take on the individual task number 036785.”
Tasks here could be undertaken as long as one t the threshold, first-co, first-served.
Of course, if the task failed, 20% of the corresponding rewards would be deducted from one’s Academic Points.
The staff mber took Li Fei’s student ID to check, and recorded there were 204 points, eting the requirent.
“Hello, you have successfully taken on Individual Task 036785. Here is the task voucher, please contact Professor Xu Jing within 24 hours.”
The staff mber handed Li Fei a paper that noted his personal information and the ti he took on the task; besides that, it also listed the address of Professor Xu Jing.
“Okay.”
Li Fei took the task voucher and left Qingyun Tower.
He didn’t rush to find Professor Xu Jing but returned to his dormitory first and then made a call to Lu ngyang:
“Old Lu, it’s .”
“Mr. Li, do you have any instructions?”
“Help check quickly on Professor Xu Jing from Wuda, with Xu as in permittance and Jing as in athletic.”
“Alright, I understand. I will get back to you within an hour.”
“Good.”
After hanging up, Li Fei stood up, walked to a storage locker, and took out a small bottle. He poured out an Elixir and swallowed it.
This Elixir was ant to supplent nutrients for the “Illusion Leaf.”
The “Illusion Leaf” had been in the Embryo Cultivation Stage for over a month; throughout this month, besides daily dication, Li Fei had used Dream Command every five days to stimulate the “Illusion Leaf,” accelerating its growth.
Now the “Illusion Leaf” was not far from reaching the Body Breaking Stage.
Li Fei had asked Zhao Yi, who had taken 53 days from the Embryo Cultivation Stage to reach the Body Breaking Stage, that too with the aid of Dream Command.
As for Zhao Renjie, who had reached the Possession Stage, it had initially taken him over a hundred days to complete this phase.
Magic-type Implants grew slower than Martial Arts-type Implants, aning they required more ti for cultivation.
Although Li Fei was far from matching Zhao Yi in compatibility, he could endure longer durations under the stimulation brought on by Dream Command, making the growth rate of the “Illusion Leaf” inside him sowhat faster than Zhao Yi’s.
After taking the Elixir, Li Fei closed his eyes to ditate, using the appropriate Visualization thod to speed up the absorption and digestion of the Elixir.
Over fifty minutes later, the phone on the table rang.
Li Fei opened his eyes, walked over, and picked up the handset:
“Hello?”
“Mr. Li, it’s .”
The voice of Lu ngyang ca through the phone.
“How is it, did you find anything?”
“Sir, I’m unable to access the files of Professor Xu Jing.”
“I don’t have access?”
Li Fei furrowed his brow.
His access was equivalent to a Forth Level Inspector, or a Ninth Rank Official, the pinnacle rank for Second Rank Subordinate Officials.
With such access, he should at least be able to pull up so general information even when investigating a Tao Foundation Stage expert.
Yet, he had absolutely no access to Xu Jing’s files.
“Could the professor be a Martial Arts Master?”
Li Fei asked.
“The humble one has only heard so rumors.”
The cautious voice of Lu ngyang ca from the other end of the phone.
“Let’s hear them.”
“Professor Xu Jing beca famous more than thirty years ago and has been at Wuda ever since, never once showing his skills publicly. All I know is that over thirty years ago, he was already a strong Tao Foundation fighter who had absorbed at least four Implants!”
“Is there more?”
“Also, I have heard that this Professor Xu Jing was quite lethal in those days and seed to have killed many people.”
“Alright, I’ve got it. Thanks for the trouble, Old Lu.”
“It’s no trouble at all, serving you is my honor! Just command if there’s anything you need, sir.”
“That’ll be all for now.”
Li Fei hung up the phone and stood in place, deep in thought.
If more than thirty years ago, he was already a strong Tao Foundation Stage with at least four Implants, then the chances of him having mastered the Martial Arts Foundation and beco a Martial Arts Master by now were high.
What was Wuda thinking, having a lethal Martial Arts Master accompany him alone to the Iron Blade Sect at this ti?
Li Fei pondered for a long ti in the room, eventually grabbing his Ghost Slash Blade and so configured poison before stepping out of his room.
Following the address written on his task certificate, Li Fei arrived at Wuda’s Exotic Beast Breeding Area.
After showing his task certificate to the guards on the periter, they finally let him enter.
Li Fei then walked along the demarcated paths, passed through a stretch of woods, and entered an icy plain.
It was hard to believe that an icy plain could exist where the average temperature was around 10 degrees Celsius.
Li Fei also owned an Exotic Beast Breeding Farm, but it was nowhere near the scale of Wuda’s; he estimated that this icy plain, about a few soccer fields in size, likely had a monthly maintenance cost of over a hundred thousand yuan!
There were many Exotic Beasts on the icy plain, each guarded by personnel.
Li Fei didn’t approach the beasts and followed the directional signs for a few minutes until he reached his destination.
A wooden hut was surrounded by a fence, and a young-looking man wearing a white suit brought over from the Western Countries and a black tie was leisurely lounging on a wicker chair.
The man was cradling a snow-white fox and gently stroking it.
Li Fei stopped outside the fence and greeted the man in the chair,
“Student Li Fei, reporting for the task.”
The man in the chair turned to look at Li Fei, revealing a benign smile,
“So you are Li Fei?”
“Indeed.”
“I am Xu Jing.”
“It’s a pleasure to et you, Professor Xu.”
“Mm, no need for so many courtesies.”
Holding the white fox, Xu Jing got up from the wicker chair and approached Li Fei.
Li Fei carefully observed the professor who looked impeccably dressed and gracefully gentle, showing no signs of being ‘lethally inclined.’
However, after experiencing a strong contrast with Wen Ke, Li Fei now couldn’t put his faith in these seemingly gentle people.
“Are you a student of Hao Yi?”
Xu Jing walked up to Li Fei, looking at him with a smile that seed like a smirk and asked.
“Eh?”
Li Fei was taken aback, not expecting to suddenly hear the na of Hao Yi,
“Do you know my teacher, Professor Xu?”
