Chapter 91: The Chaotic Fate Practitioner

On one side, Zhang Xuan had just identified the flaws and weaknesses in the two girls' techniques, while on the other, the outcome of the clash between their fists had already been decided.

The previously confident and somewhat arrogant Liu Mingyue felt an immense force crash into her as if a massive boulder had struck her. Before she could even react, she was sent flying backward.

Her back slammed into the classroom door, which had just been repaired by Clan Leader Chen Xiao's men the day before. The door, barely used, now had a human-shaped hole punched through it once again.

The culprit, Yu Xiaoyu, was startled.

She had suspected that Liu Mingyue's strength might be considerable, so she didn't hold back, unleashing all the power she had accumulated from training half the night. She had expected, at most, an even match—never in her wildest dreams did she imagine it would be this overwhelming.

She had knocked Liu Mingyue flying… Wasn't Liu Mingyue at 0.6 horsepower just yesterday? How did she become so weak?

"Yu Xiaoyu, your strength is 1.3 horsepower, while Liu Mingyue's is only 0.61. Both of you, come here and explain why that is," Zhang Xuan frowned as Liu Mingyue hobbled back into the room.

He couldn't understand these two girls.

Over the past two classes, Yu Xiaoyu had been showing off. In contrast, Liu Mingyue had been the opposite—despite claiming she hadn't learned anything, her body had never hesitated to follow through with the training.

He had expected Yu Xiaoyu to be knocked out with one punch, but the reality was the exact opposite…

"I… have 1.3 horsepower?" Yu Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

She had realized her strength wasn't weak after sending her friend flying, but she never imagined she had progressed this much! Just yesterday, she was at 0.5 horsepower, and after training for an afternoon and half a night, her strength had increased by 0.7—more than doubling!

Unlike her astonishment, Liu Mingyue was utterly confused: "I only have 0.61?"

Her father had explained the "Fuyao Energy Storing Technique" to her several times, and she had studied it diligently without any mistakes or neglect. Yet after an entire night, her strength had only increased by 0.01. Was this really White Roc City's second most powerful Energy Storing technique?

Why was it so weak?

And Teacher Zhang, whom her father had dismissed, had casually taught a method that she barely learned, yet it had boosted her strength by 0.02… The girl who had been weaker than her just yesterday had more than doubled her strength after some minor training!

As she was still reeling from the shock, Zhang Xuan's voice cut through her thoughts: "Didn't you say you didn't attend the class yesterday?"

"I… asked Brother Hong for his notes and studied them again…" Yu Xiaoyu explained.

"I followed my father's advice and trained with my family's 'Fuyao Energy Storing Technique'!" Liu Mingyue admitted, her face turning red as Zhang Xuan looked at her.

"Since you have your family's ultimate technique, you are no longer my student starting today. Leave!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand dismissively.

Rules are rules. Since the requirements were set yesterday and not met, expulsion was the only option.

"Teacher Zhang…" Liu Mingyue's face paled, and she began to tremble.

"Next!" Ignoring Liu Mingyue, Zhang Xuan turned to Hong Yi.

Hong Yi threw a punch, and as expected, it reached exactly 1 horsepower. From the time he started training, his strength had increased fivefold! He had met the requirement.

Witnessing this, Liu Mingyue finally understood. Teacher Zhang's lessons weren't unconventional or shortcuts—they were genuine secret techniques. Otherwise, no way simply following the training could lead to such rapid improvement!

Clenching her teeth, she seemed to make a decision. Retreating to the door, she knelt and spoke with determination: "Teacher Zhang, I realize my mistake. Please forgive me. From today on, I will wholeheartedly acknowledge you as my master and follow only your instructions. If you do not accept, I will remain kneeling here forever!"

"Hong Yi, close the door!"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

When given an opportunity, she didn't cherish it. Only after losing it did she regret it. Life is often a one-way ticket—there aren't so many chances to keep jumping back and forth.

"Yes!"

Although the door was damaged, closing it would still provide some cover. Hong Yi approached Liu Mingyue, apologized, and slowly closed the door.

Disregarding her intention to kneel indefinitely, Zhang Xuan explained the flaws in Yu Xiaoyu and Hong Yi's techniques in detail, then wrote out a personalized cultivation method for each.

Yu Xiaoyu took her method, read it through, and finally understood just how deep this teacher's understanding of cultivation was.

Her family's "Five Directions Accumulation Technique" seemed laughable in comparison, like a child's game.

"No wonder my father insisted I become his student—he must have known how extraordinary he was all along."

Yu Xiaoyu finally understood her father's good intentions.

As for Hong Yi, who had never been exposed to advanced techniques, he couldn't fully grasp just how powerful Teacher Zhang's teachings were, but he knew they were exceptional. Otherwise, how could they enable such rapid progress?

With this understanding, he trained even more diligently.

Lacking talent, he had no choice but to make up for it with hard work.

Seeing his students working hard, Zhang Xuan also sat down cross-legged.

In the third level of the Source Pool, Energy Storing, the energy flows through all the body's meridians, accumulating power.

In the fourth level, Body Tempering, Source Energy nourishes the muscles, making the body stronger and greatly enhancing overall physical fitness.

In the fifth level, Meridian Unclogging, the focus is on refining the body's fascia, increasing its flexibility and ability to handle greater power.

As for the sixth level, Organs Easing, it involves refining the internal organs, making breathing more prolonged and increasing the speed of energy absorption.

Zhang Xuan was currently between the Meridian Unclogging and Organs Easing levels.

In body training, the difference between refining the internal organs and not is vast. The movement of the organs nourishes the entire body. Once fully refined, even the Source Pool can be transformed.

For example, in Hong Yi's case, his Source Pool was evaluated as the lowest, Ninth Grade. However, if he successfully trained in the Organs Easing realm, the immense power generated by his organs might upgrade it.

Zhang Xuan's Source Pool connected to the Xuan World, already endless in its energy supply, didn't need further enhancement. But if his organs were refined by Source Energy, even burning the New World wouldn't injure him as easily under the pressure of the Source World.

"Ah, I still need Heaven's Fate Energy!"

Reviewing his current situation, Zhang Xuan sighed.

The 20,000 strands of Heaven's Fate Energy he had just obtained from the Trading Company and Dean Lu were almost depleted after organizing the cultivation methods for the Body Tempering and Meridian Unclogging realms. To advance to higher levels, he would clearly need more Destiny Disks, but where could he find them?

Meanwhile, at the Liu residence…

Patriarch Liu Tianzheng stood respectfully at the entrance of the estate with the Grand Elder and others, anxiously looking out into the distance as if waiting for someone.

The blazing sun poured down, distorting the air with heatwaves.

To make the patriarch and the Grand Elder of one of White Roc City's three great families stand outside in the sweltering heat, the person they were waiting for must be of considerable importance.

Clip-clop, clip-clop!

As everyone began to doze off in the heat, the sound of hooves broke the silence. A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached.

Eyes lighting up, Liu Tianzheng hurried forward a few steps and bowed deeply. "Lord Xu!"

A young man lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down.

He appeared to be in his early thirties, dressed in a blue-gray robe, with a cold and gloomy look in his eyes.

Lord Xu nodded, his brow furrowing slightly. "So, you're Liu Tianzheng? You're much weaker than I expected…"

Liu Tianzheng's face filled with embarrassment. "Our Liu family is just a small clan in White Roc City. It's only thanks to Lord Ling's protection that we have what we do today. My meager cultivation is naturally nothing in Lord Xu's eyes."

"At least you know to be grateful!"

Lord Xu nodded in satisfaction. "I've come here without prior notice under orders from Lord Ling to check if any 'Chaotic Fate Practitioners' have infiltrated White Roc City."

"Chaotic Fate Practitioners?"

Liu Tianzheng's pupils shrank. "Are you referring to those strange cultivators who can disrupt Heaven's Fate and cause widespread chaos? I heard they appeared once decades ago, causing great turmoil and panic. It took the intervention of the Destiny Hall's experts to finally suppress the situation…"

"Indeed! This matter is top secret. Even the city lord of White Roc City isn't privy to it. You're only being informed because of your loyalty to Lord Ling. But remember, you must not let this leak out."

Lord Xu waved his hand dismissively.

"I understand!" Liu Tianzheng quickly bowed, a trace of concern in his eyes. "But, my lord, weren't these people supposed to have disappeared with no trace of them for decades? Why the sudden investigation, and why come to such a remote place like White Roc City?"

Lord Xu replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but it seems other Destiny Halls have detected the presence of such individuals. I was sent here as a precaution. It's best if there's nothing, but if such a person is found and not reported, not only will I perish, but your entire Liu family will face annihilation."

"Understood!" Liu Tianzheng's expression turned serious.

He didn't doubt Lord Xu's words. If they failed to handle the situation properly, despite being one of the three great families of White Roc City, the Liu family could be wiped out with just one word from him.

Because… Lord Xu was from the Destiny Hall, the most powerful organization in the entire Source World!

Lord Xu, Xu Xin, wasn't a Destiny Practitioner but a Fate Guardian.

Fate Guardians, also known as Protectors, are the bodyguards of Destiny Practitioners. While they don't possess the power to control fate, their status is highly esteemed due to their role in protecting Destiny Practitioners.

They are somewhat akin to the Warriors on the Master Teacher Continent.

Wherever they go, they represent the authority and status of Destiny Practitioners, and no one dares to show them any disrespect.

"I wonder… what are the characteristics of these Chaotic Fate Practitioners? It would help me conduct a more thorough investigation…"

After a moment of thought, Liu Tianzheng asked curiously.

"Chaotic Fate Practitioners don't conform to the changes in destiny and lack a definite fate of their own…"

Xu Xin nodded, his expression becoming more solemn. "Outwardly, they often exhibit talents beyond that of ordinary people, behave strangely, and stand out from the crowd. Most importantly, although they are not Destiny Practitioners, they can do things even a Destiny Practitioner cannot."

"Talents beyond that of ordinary people? This…"

Liu Tianzheng's pupils constricted as a figure suddenly flashed through his mind.
