The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1106

(Unedited)

…

The small voice made everyone realize that there is still another student on the side of Qing Joming. So when they heard his voice, their attention shifted towards him. And this made Xin Ja feel a bit uncomfortable.

When Teacher Ma heard this, he almost burst out laughing.

"What do you mean by me losing? That is utterly impossible! Hahaha…" Teacher Ma chuckled.

"If you are afraid, then just say so…" Xin Ja suddenly added while still feeling a bit uncomfortable.

But deep in his heart, he already hated the teacher in front of him.

Everyone is now seeing this shy-looking boy in a new light. Although he looks shy and quiet yet the words coming out of his mouth are something that they never would have expected from someone like him.

At this time, the expression of Teacher Ma is already unsightly and is now glaring furiously at the young man. He takes a step forward and with gritted teeth, he uttered.

"If the two of you get lost in this academy if you lose, then I don't mind staking anything on the line…" he said while his face is close to Xin Ja.

Xin Ja looks unafraid but a little awkward, so he leaned to the side away from Teacher Ma and said.

"Then you have to publicly apologize to us… That would be a fair exchange, right?"

Everyone looks at each other and nodded their heads. The boy looks young and all, but he is also sensible. It might not be a fair exchange between the two, but Teacher Ma after all is a teacher in Ogden Academy, and he has been in the academy for many years now.

So an actual fair exchange between the two is not possible as the school would surely be partial towards Teacher Ma who has produced many brilliant students.

But who would have known that an apology towards someone who is weaker than him is something that Teacher Ma detested? He thinks that those people who are lower than him should be the ones apologizing and not him.

So the condition of the young man truly infuriated him.

"You whelp!" he shouted and suddenly lifted his hand.

"Teacher Ma!" this time, Teacher Hou could not take it anymore and used her aura to stop the teacher.

However, they have the same level so Teacher Ma shrugged it all off.

But suddenly an arm held Teacher Ma which renders him immobile.

When Teacher Ma shifted his gaze, he saw a fat middle-aged man standing behind him.

"This is enough… You have are already getting old Teacher Ma and it seems that your attitude is regressing." The fat man said with a frown.

Xin Ja has already noticed this man a while ago when he enters the office with some people behind him. But he did not know who this person is, so he did not pay attention too much to him.

When Teacher Ma realized who the fat man is, he suddenly takes a step back.

"I'm… I'm sorry, Superintendent Yu…" Teacher Ma apologizes.

The fat man waves his hand and then looks at the two young men who got entangled with Teacher Ma. He showed a faint smile on his face then looks at Xin Ja.

"Alright, how about we do this… I do not want to lose talent in the academy. So if you two loses, then you will be undergoing disciplinary action under my supervision. And if you win, Teacher Ma here will apologize to both of you. Will that be okay?" Superintendent Yu said with an amiable smile on his pudgy face.

No one could go against him at this time and both parties agreed. Teacher Ma said his leave... he is already thinking in his mind which student of his would he choose for the challenge.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Yu suddenly walks to the side and picks up a rune-filled bone.

"Good craftsmanship…" he said as he gave it to Xin Ja.

He then picks another three on the side. No one has noticed when those bones runes have been put there, but he did.

"You are a talent indeed. It's just a pity that you're Ki level is a bit low. Haha…" Superintendent Yu said while he handed the runes to Xin Ja while patting his shoulder and leaving the office.

The crowd is a bit stunned at his presence and the other teachers who saw him leaving just bowed their heads. Those that are with the superintendent looked at Xin Ja and they began writing something on the folders they were holding.

When the group left, the rest of the teachers in the office seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

"You two are… Sigh… I don't know what to say anymore…" Teacher Hou Anqing said while she helplessly leaned on the backrest of her chair.

"Are you two confident in this challenge?" she asked.

Xin Ja shrugged his shoulder but did not say anything. Upon seeing this, the expression of Qing Joming turned grave. He then looks at Teacher Hou and then showed a faint smile.

"Teacher, if… if you can privately teach us, then… then we might have a chance at winning this challenge." He said with a smile.

Pfft!!!

Upon hearing this, Xin Ja could not help but stifle his laugh. But this made Qing Joming glare at him.

"You… Sigh… this is giving me a headache. Whatever, come here after class, and I will try to teach you two something… I just hope that it would be enough to warrant your victory."

The three of them then return to the class and saw that the class is busy concocting potions.

When they noticed the three coming inside, they all showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Before Xin Ja and Qing Joming could even sit, a couple of their classmates have already approached them.

Xin Ja who has not experienced such attention, feel a bit uncomfortable about it, but he did not say no. This is because of his kind nature and disposition. And so, he began teaching them… he even introduces to them the concept of timing.

Everyone was a bit baffled at first. But since the students here are all taking alchemy and have passed the exam for it, they began to realize what he is talking about. Then they all began to listen attentively to him and many realize how it would be perfect to use such a method rather than to lean on one's experience which would consume too many resources.

Before the class ends, almost half of the class has already passed in creating a mid-grade healing potion while immediately stunned Teacher Hou.

She too has an idea of using time but has not tried it before. However, seeing it for herself and knowing the result is something that she never expected.

And like what happened to Qing Joming, two of their classmates actually advance to 2nd level alchemist. This is because of their already vast experience and knowledge which has opened the door for them to move a step up to the next level.

The day is fruitful and everyone became excited and has viewed Xin Ja with a sense of respect in the class.

But unknown to them a piece of news is currently circulating in the academy. It was about the alchemy match between 3rd year and 1st year which suddenly became sensational.

No one knew who spread the news, but it immediately riled up every student in the academy and many wanted to watch this match. This is because, if the 3rd years truly have accepted this match, then that means the 1st years who challenged them are not your typical weak first years. They might pose a challenge… hence everyone wanted to see such a challenge.

But the only downside is that... it is an alchemy challenge. Some of the students are not too inclined in looking at people brewing potions, they think it is boring, unlike martial arts bouts which are exciting and thrilling.

However, those that belong to big families are quickly interested in this. They are already eyeing to rope in those talents that would be attending this battle.

The commotion outside has not reached the ears of the students in Teacher Hou's class yet. In fact, at this moment, they did not care. What they are experiencing right now is more than they'll ever want. Of course, this is because they are still too focused on their work.

And so, the day ended with many of his classmates feeling elated at their progress.

Everyone left, and Hou Anqing told four students to remain in the class. Xin Ja, Qing Joming, and the two others who just advanced to 2nd level alchemist.

They began to discuss the timing method that Xin Ja just taught the class. Teacher Hou has already realized that this would surely revolutionize alchemy and potion brewing. It would not only format the alchemy path, but it would also take the alchemy profession another step higher.

Resources would be reduced by half in consumption due to trial and error, and the creation of potions would now be standardized. It is surely an eye-opener for her and now wanted to formally create a manual for this.

And so Xin Ja and the rest spend their time in the potion room before going home late that night.
