133: Chapter 133 He ran away right after awakening his spatial abilities!?
In the classroom.
Su Yun's single sentence, "I guess I count as an Awakened now, right?" left everyone speechless.
It wasn't that no one wanted to answer.
It was that no one knew what tone to use to answer.
After all, normal people usually Awaken as D-rank first.
Then, after a few years of hard work and a bit of luck, they climb to C-rank or B-rank.
If their talent is explosive enough, maybe they can Awaken directly as A-rank.
As for Awakening directly as S-rank?
There are almost none in the entire world.
That's already the kind of existence that major factions can show off as their face.
But Su Yun is different.
He ate a Yin-Yang Spirit Awakening Seed given as compensation by the Ghost Emperor.
He skipped S-rank entirely.
This isn't Awakening; this is straight-up cheating.
Li Hao, wearing the trash can he had just taken off, hesitated and said, "I guess?"
Gu Lang glanced at him.
Li Hao immediately added, "If a Semi-King rank Space Type doesn't count as Awakened, then what am I, someone who gets sleepy in class? An educational reject?"
Chu Youwei looked up.
Li Hao sat up straight immediately.
"I was just self-reflecting."
He even placed the trash can neatly to his side, as if he were displaying some kind of holy relic blessed by Semi-King rank Space authority.
Just Awakened.
Semi-King.
Space Type.
Looking at these three terms separately, any one of them could be written into the highest-level files.
Combined, they seem even more indescribable.
Especially Gu Lang; he felt he could no longer look directly at Su Yun.
This dazzling radiance was almost blinding him.
Saintess Lin Xinglan spoke first.
"Su Yun, you need training."
Her voice remained cold and aloof, but the Holy Light at her fingertips had not yet completely dissipated.
It wasn't that the Saintess's Legacy didn't contain records related to space.
On the contrary, the reason the Saintess's Domain could maintain cross-regional influence to this day is that teleportation arrays are one of its greatest trump cards.
But what Su Yun had just displayed was completely different from a teleportation array.
Teleportation arrays require coordinates, inscriptions, and energy circuits.
But Su Yun just raised his hand.
And space obeyed him.
This kind of talent is too dangerous if not guided as soon as possible.
And it is too precious.
Su Yun looked up: "I just Awakened, and your first sentence isn't congratulations?"
Saintess Lin Xinglan paused.
She seemed to think about this question seriously.
Then she nodded.
"Congratulations."
Su Yun nodded: "Thank you. Can I leave class now?"
Saintess Lin Xinglan replied quickly: "No, because congratulations do not affect the fact that you need training."
Chu Youwei walked over to Su Yun's side.
"No."
Saintess Lin Xinglan looked at her: "You oppose training?"
Chu Youwei shook her head: "I oppose you training him."
Saintess Lin Xinglan's brow twitched: "The Saintess's Domain preserves the complete construction methods for space teleportation arrays, including multi-point anchoring, long-distance coordinate stabilization, defensive folding, and Holy Light inscription-assisted transmission."
Chu Youwei asked back: "So your Saintess's Domain has the deepest understanding of space?"
Saintess Lin Xinglan said calmly: "At least deeper than the Investigation Bureau."
Gu Lang frowned.
Although this statement was a bit stinging, it was hard to refute.
Currently on Blue Star, the only faction that can truly stably construct teleportation arrays is indeed the Saintess's Domain.
It's not that other factions haven't studied it.
But space is not something you can play with just by knowing how to draw a few circles or carve a few lines.
If the coordinates are off by a bit, you might teleport someone into a wall.
If the energy is unstable, you might send the upper body to Daxia and leave the lower body behind.
The discipline of space has never been a gentle field of knowledge.
It easily turns students into teaching accidents.
And it is precisely because of things like teleportation arrays that the Saintess's Domain is one of the largest supernatural factions outside of Daxia.
Chu Youwei looked at Saintess Lin Xinglan: "Teleportation arrays are dead; people are alive."
Saintess Lin Xinglan said: "Therefore, living people should learn dead knowledge even more."
Li Hao whispered: "My teacher often says this."
The Homeroom Teacher pushed up her glasses: "I have never said such a blunt version."
Li Hao thought seriously: "But every time you assign homework, the spiritual core is about the same."
The Homeroom Teacher looked at him.
Li Hao immediately lowered his head: "I love studying."
Chu Youwei ignored them.
She looked at Su Yun, her voice softening.
"You just Awakened; what you need most right now is not training."
Saintess Lin Xinglan asked: "Then what is it?"
Chu Youwei said seriously: "Go home and share the good news."
The whole class: "..."
Saintess Lin Xinglan: "?"
Su Yun was also stunned for a moment.
Chu Youwei continued: "Uncle and Auntie will be very happy to know you've Awakened."
When she said this, her eyes were very serious.
She wasn't joking.
In her view, Su Yun was just an ordinary student before.
Although there were always many strange things happening around him.
Although he always seemed to be able to survive in the most dangerous moments.
Although the Investigation Bureau and the Saintess's Domain were both revolving around him.
But at least on the surface, he was an ordinary person.
For an ordinary person to Awaken is a big deal.
Of course he has to go home and share the good news.
Saintess Lin Xinglan took a deep breath.
"Awakened Semi-King Space authority, and the first thing you do is go home to share the good news?"
Chu Youwei nodded: "Yes."
Saintess Lin Xinglan asked: "Then what if his ability goes out of control?"
Chu Youwei replied: "I will take him home."
Saintess Lin Xinglan immediately said: "You just ascended to King rank; your rules aren't stable yet."
Chu Youwei asked back: "So you want to take him?"
Saintess Lin Xinglan nodded: "I can."
Chu Youwei stared at her: "You finally stated your purpose."
Saintess Lin Xinglan: "My purpose is called protection."
Chu Youwei: "Mine is, too."
Saintess Lin Xinglan: "Your protection carries personal emotions."
Chu Youwei: "Doesn't yours?"
Saintess Lin Xinglan was silent for half a second.
"The Saintess's Domain's emotions are called faith."
Chu Youwei: "Then my emotions are called legitimacy."
Li Hao gasped.
"Gu Lang, how come they're adding keyword upgrades to their argument?"
Gu Lang whispered: "Shut up, don't get dragged into the version update."
Li Hao whispered again: "Then what version is it now?"
Gu Lang glanced at Chu Youwei, then at Saintess Lin Xinglan.
"King-rank Invigilator versus Saintess of the Saintess's Domain, fighting over the after-school custody of a Semi-King rank Space Type student."
Li Hao was silent for two seconds.
"Sounds like a very expensive mobile game event."
Gu Lang: "Then you're the lowest-level mob."
Li Hao: "..."
He silently pushed the trash can further to the side.
To prevent himself from becoming an event drop item.
Su Yun rubbed his temples.
He had a bit of a headache now.
It wasn't because his Space ability was out of control.
It was these two people giving him a headache.
One is the Saintess of the Saintess's Domain.
The other is humanity's only King-rank.
In a high school senior classroom, they were arguing until their faces were red over whether he should go to the Saintess's Domain for training or go home to share the good news after just Awakening.
The world had finally gone crazy to a point he couldn't understand.
Saintess Lin Xinglan looked at Su Yun.
"Come with me, and I can have you master space anchors, teleportation arrays, defensive folding, and space cutting in the shortest time possible."
Chu Youwei immediately followed up: "Come with me, and I can let you eat dinner first."
Saintess Lin Xinglan: "Space cutting can save lives."
Chu Youwei: "If you don't eat dinner, you'll be hungry."
Saintess Lin Xinglan: "King-rank enemies won't wait for you to eat."
Chu Youwei: "But Auntie will wait."
Saintess Lin Xinglan's eyes paused slightly.
The lethality of this sentence was actually stronger than space cutting.
The atmosphere in the classroom became subtle once again.
Su Yun raised his hand.
Chu Youwei and Saintess Lin Xinglan looked at him at the same time.
Su Yun said calmly: "What you both say makes a lot of sense."
Hearing this, Li Hao immediately whispered: "It's over, Brother Yun is going to start trying to smooth things over."
Gu Lang frowned: "No, based on my understanding of him, he generally doesn't smooth things over."
Li Hao asked: "Then what does he do?"
Gu Lang looked at the increasingly thin transparent crease at Su Yun's fingertips, his eyelids twitching slightly.
"He will choose to run away."
The next second.
The chair Su Yun was sitting on was still there.
The books on the desk were still there.
Even the pen he had bitten tooth marks into was still there.
The person was gone.
Only a space crease, so thin it was almost invisible, remained in the air.
The crease looked as if someone had gently scratched it with a fingernail, and it quickly healed automatically.
The whole class was quiet.
Saintess Lin Xinglan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
The black letters in Chu Youwei's palm had just lit up, then forcibly stopped.
It wasn't that she couldn't catch up.
But she stopped.
Because Su Yun wasn't taken away just now, nor was he attacked.
He ran away himself.
And he ran away with great justification.
Li Hao slowly turned his head to look at Su Yun's empty seat.
"So he... went home to share the good news?"
Gu Lang looked at the schoolbag on the desk.
"He didn't take his schoolbag."
Li Hao was startled.
"That's even more serious."
Gu Lang asked: "How is it serious?"
Li Hao said seriously: "It means he's not going home; he's skipping class."
The expressions of the whole class became complicated at the same time.
Just Awakened Semi-King rank Space ability.
The first thing he did was skip class.
Is this reasonable?
Unreasonable.
But if the subject is Su Yun, it seems reasonable again.
The Homeroom Teacher stood on the podium, the chalk in her hand snapping.
She looked at Su Yun's empty seat and was silent for three seconds.
Then, she opened the attendance book.
"Student Su Yun, skipped class via space."
The pen tip fell.
"Marked as one early departure."
Saintess Lin Xinglan: "..."
Chu Youwei: "..."
Gu Lang suddenly felt that the teacher was the truly powerful one.
King-rank descends, mark down a reflection essay.
Semi-King Awakens, mark down early departure.
Skipped class via space, still deduct attendance.
This professional standard, the Investigation Bureau really should invite her to teach the executors.
At least it would let many S-ranks understand what it means to stick to the procedure even when facing disaster.
Li Hao hesitated and raised his hand.
"Teacher, does Brother Yun still have to write a reflection essay?"
The Homeroom Teacher pushed up her glasses.
"Of course."
Li Hao: "But he's not here."
The Homeroom Teacher said calmly: "So add one reflection essay for skipping class."
Li Hao was filled with respect.
"Teacher, you are the one who is the Rule Type, right?"
The Homeroom Teacher glanced at him.
"Student Li Hao, two thousand words for your reflection essay."
Li Hao: "..."
He lowered his head.
"I knew it; ordinary people shouldn't casually evaluate the strong."
