Spare Me, Great Lord!

Previously, Lu Shu had wanted to buy two bottles of the sodium-potassium alloy to test his aptitude but this stuff was almost out of stock online. Everyone who was interested in awakening or training wanted to see if they had the aptitude.

And amongst everyone, adults had the most purchasing power.

The Heavenly Network’s plan never had much involvement with adults and only those who had awakened were included…

There were no tests or lessons catered to them and this was suggesting that the Heavenly Network thought that people after a certain age no longer had the same potential!

This meant that training did not only require aptitude but also an ideal age!

But a new trend, which was great news to businessmen selling sodium-potassium alloys, became popular very quickly – adults loved bragging about their aptitudes.

This was like boasting within your circle of friends about your holiday, or what you ate, or about the things you bought.

And the new trend was aptitude.

Although they slowly understood the fact that they were past the age and unable to train, a good aptitude would still be a bonus that they could brag about it.

So more and more people were buying sodium-potassium alloy at an inflated price just to be able to drip a drop of their blood to check for their aptitude.

Those who bragged did not care about their Classes. As long as it was Class F and above, they would spread the news to their circle of friends.

Men would talk about how they wished the era came a few years earlier so they could take the path of training.

Women would brag that they were born beautiful etc.

The tougher women would boast, Hahaha, I’m going up the mountains to train under the priest. If they reject me, I’d demolish Taoism!

Awakening and training had become a trend.

Of course, after the decent part of the trend was over, the indecent ones started and people would use black ink as their ‘test results’ or even milk…

And some sly businessmen would reduce the concentration of the sodium-potassium alloy to lower production costs.

But the two bottles Li Xianyi gave him were different. It wasn’t just a few millimeters but the silvery fluid filled half the bottle!

Since he gave two bottles, it must be for both him and Lu Xiaoyu to test.

Lu Shu returned home to wake Lu Xiaoyu up and even closed the curtains to prevent outsiders from peeking at their secret. The power of the refresher fruits could finally be revealed!

Lu Xiaoyu, still half-awake, sat beside Lu Shu, “Lu Shu, what do you want?”

“Testing your aptitude,” Lu Shu pulled her small hand over and was about to use the corpse of the dog to poke her finger.

“I’m not testing!” Lu Xiaoyu was taken aback. Blood was needed for the test!

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +110!”

Lu Shu took out two white rabbit sweets from his pocket and placed them in front of Lu Xiaoyu and quietly stared at her.

Lu Xiaoyu struggled for a long while, “Add two more!”

Without hesitation, Lu Shu gave her a whole packet and made a cut smaller than a grain of rice on Lu Xiaoyu’s finger and dripped her blood into the bottle of the sodium-potassium alloy.

Then it was his own blood.

He previously realized that the corpse of the dog was extremely sharp. Any normal cooking knifes or of sorts would not be able to hurt him at all but when his hard and enhanced skin came into contact with the corpse of the dog, it was like tofu.

Lu Xiaoyu had two white rabbit sweets on one side of her mouth as the two of them set quietly on the sofa waiting for the sodium-potassium alloy’s reaction.

The silver-colored alloy slowly turned black and the change was quick. Comparing to the hues of black, their aptitudes jumped from Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C, Class B, Class A…

Although Lu Shu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the results. Both their aptitudes had reached Class A!

How good was Class A? In the whole of Luo Cheng’s Daoyuan class, only Cao Qingci was Class A! According to this, they must be one in a million talents!

But at this moment, Lu Shu suddenly noticed a strange reaction happening in both bottles.

In his bottle, the alloy reached its blackest peak and slowly turned back to silver and… started glowing. The glow was bright and beautiful like the stars and also glaring!

And in Lu Xiaoyu’s bottle, the black color remained black but the black was like that of a never-ending deep dark abyss.

What kind of situation is that, it wasn’t written on the spectrum!

Lu Shu was confused. Just what were his and Lu Xiaoyu’s aptitudes? He was confident that they were Class As but now he wasn’t sure.

“My bottle is quite similar to my celestial map. You?” Lu Shu curiously asked.

“Mine too…” Lu Xiaoyu mumbled as the two sweets were still in her mouth.

Seemed like it was the celestial map’s mystery again. He also never got to test the changes to the alloy before eating those refresher fruits. It was too late now.

So… Above Class A is Class S? Lu Shu was very curious.

They sealed both their bottles and planned to pour it away outside when no one was around.

Lu Shu left the house and met Li Xianyi who asked, “What Class?”

Lu Shu shook his head and sighed, “Both Class F.”

Ahhhhh his acting skill is not bad. Lying with his eyes wide open and even with some details!

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +144!”

But the old man was starting to think that Lu Shu’s aptitude must be out of the ordinary if not why the need to hide. His main objective was not to find out Lu Shu’s aptitude as he trusted his own judgment, but it was for Lu Shu to know his own so that he would not be depressed about having a Class F aptitude.

Vitality training required confidence in every aspect and this was Li Xianyi’s goal.

Lu Shu knew that Li Xianyi wanted to take Lu Xiaoyu as a disciple to inherit his ideals and responsibilities but as an older brother, Lu Shu was against it. He only had this one younger sister so how could he let her take part in some rescuing the world mission.

If Lu Shu had no other choice, he might just become Li Xianyi’s disciple.

But what was the current situation? Since both of them did not lack training and Lu Xiaoyu could train even while she was sleeping and the Golden Foundation relationship with the Heavenly Network was still uncertain, he was not willing to take the risk.

Lu Shu suddenly recalled something, “Grandpa, towards the end of your swordplay training, will I be able to manipulate the sword?”

Li Xianyi gave him a glance and casually manipulated a blade of grass to fly across which like a flying needle, embedded itself into a wooden fence a distance away and said sarcastically, “If you wish to learn to manipulate, you need to be at least Class C.”
