Chapter 290 - System
"Oh, it's you. Why do you always sound angry?" Ning asked with a slight chuckle.
Elenora immediately put her hands to the side around the students as if to protect them. Ning got a little confused when he saw that.
"You finally showed your true self, didn't you? It must be you behind this attack too. Acting like you were a weak little cultivator when in truth you were this strong."
"I told the staff members but they didn't believe me. Hah, now they are going to be the doom of us all," Elenora said.
Ning got a little confused. "Wait, wait, wait. Do you think all of this is my doing? Are you an idiot?" Ning asked.
"No need to keep up the facade. I can see how strong you really are. No person without an objective would hide their cultivation base while entering a new place," Eleonora said.
"Huh?" Ning was surprised this time. "You could see my cultivation base even when I had it hidden? That's weird. How could you…"
Ning suddenly used his Qi Analysis to check her status and saw nothing special about any of her skills. That was when he thought of something and used an Analysis he had bought a long time ago but hadn't used due to its exorbitant amount of mental strength required.
Omni-Analysis
Suddenly a whole lot more of her information was delivered directly into his mind. Her name, her parent's names, he siblings' names, her birthday, her birthplace, her cultivation, her techniques, her physique, and finally something he had been curious about… Her special skills.
Ning's head hurt like a bitch, but it was worth it. He finally got to see something even remotely close to what he had.
A System.
"You… are a system user too?" Ning asked without both a pained and a shocked expression.
The moment the words left his mouth, Eleonora's face started changing too. It started to border the territory of terror.
"How… do you know? I have never told this to anyone. How do you know?" She screamed and asked.
"Who's there?" a voice came from outside, but it was immediately snuffed out as the man screamed and died.
Ning looked at Eleonora and said, "I'm not the bad guy here, you can ask these students. I am going out to fight them. Take care of the students."
"As for your system… we will talk about it later."
Ning left the students in her care and left Aegis behind to guard them. Then, Ning walked outside to search for people to fight.
Now that he didn't have students to worry about, he could freely go fight whoever he wanted to.
He sent out his divine sense and immediately saw a crowd on the front stairs checking the ruins left behind by Dougeo's nascent soul explosion.
They also noticed him once they sent out their own divine sense to check who was using theirs.
"There's a teacher there," they started shouting, but suddenly, Ning appeared right in front of them.
They all stopped in surprise and couldn't help but wonder how someone could possibly cover such a long distance in such a small time.
"Okay, before we fight," Ning spoke. "Does anyone of you have any information of this superior of yours? Tell me now and I might let you live with your nascent soul."
"Capture him," one of them shouted and all the people with the same face ran towards Ning.
"Sigh, I guess you won't speak unless I prove to you that your life is in danger," Ning said as he shook his head.
Suddenly, his arm started glowing purple as Qi gathered all around it.
"Hah!"
He suddenly punched outward as a massive amount of energy was released from his arms towards all of the men.
Half of them managed to react in time and moved aside, but the other half were caught in it.
When the energy disappeared, all that was left was half burnt men, down on the ground, and grunting in pain.
"Tsk, that's not enough to kill them huh? My Qi cultivation really needs some work," Ning said to himself.
Meanwhile, the ones that managed to escape were dumbfounded.
"How did a person in the 1st realm of Nascent Soul realm just defeat them all?" one of them asked in terror.
"Are you guys still not talking?" Ning asked.
"We can't capture him. We need to either work together and kill him or run away from here. But we don't have that last choice, do we?" one person said.
"Yes, kill him," another man shouted and they all came at Ning with all of their attacks.
Ning however wasn't amused. He wanted answers and it seemed these people didn't want to say anything.
"Fine, then. Die."
Minutes later, there was only one person on the ground still grunting. When he finally managed to open his eyes again and looked around, he only saw blood and gore.
The people he came with weren't there anymore. "What ha—"
Suddenly, someone grabbed his head, and immediately he felt a force fight through his weak mind and put itself as his master.
Once that force disappeared, the man looked back towards Ning and called out, "Master."
"Don't waste my time, and speak everything you know about this operation."
The moment Ning said that the man started spewing out every information he knew about what was happening here.
The man didn't know any information about this superior, but he did know a thing or two more than Dougeo since his mission here was different from Dougeo's.
According to the man, he was supposed to guard one of the 5 entrances to the teacher quarters and keep them there.
Since they had attacked at night, most of the teachers were stuck inside their living quarters in the underground area. So it was obvious they needed people to make sure they stayed there.
"Wait, where are they keeping the students then?" Ning asked.
"Students who were in their quarters should have been sent underground where the main academy staff stays at," the man said.
"Any other information?" Ning asked.
"No, Master," the man said.
"I see. Then go die," Ning said.
"Yes, Master."
The man suddenly bit the pill in his mouth and died.
