The Soul Sea

If Nie Li said that, and the Sacred Family sought trouble with Nie Li, wouldn't that just prove that everyone in the Sacred Family were scoundrels?

Both Shen Xiu and Shen Yue were so angered by Nie Li that they nearly vomited blood.

Ye Ziyun couldn't help but glance at Nie Li again. She hadn't expected Nie Li to be so bold, daring to offend the Sacred Family, one of the three great Peak Families of the City of Brilliance. Nie Li's series of actions recently had made him impossible to ignore. Ye Ziyun felt a bit of curiosity towards Nie Li; what kind of person was Nie Li?

As for Xiao Ninger, hearing Nie Li's sharp words directly hit the Sacred Family's sore spot, she felt a sense of exhilaration. Her own family had always wanted to marry her into the Sacred Family, and she was strongly against it. From the very beginning, she had no good feelings towards the Sacred Family. Hearing Nie Li render Shen Xiu and Shen Yue speechless, while also acting shamelessly, she couldn't help but stifle a laugh. At the same time, she deeply admired Nie Li; how vast must his knowledge be to recognize the origin of the Crimson Flame Explosion engraving at a glance? It turned out that while they were wasting their time, Nie Li had been engrossed in reading countless books.

At this moment, outside the classroom, Lu Ye hurried over and handed the Thunder Fire Sacred Codex to the grey-robed elder.

Vice Principal Ye Sheng frequently observed the grey-robed elder's expression.

The grey-robed elder flipped the Thunder Fire Sacred Codex to the thirtieth page, the sixth illustration. Upon seeing this Thunder Fire Engraving and comparing it to the Crimson Flame Explosion engraving, he remained silent with a stern face.

Ye Sheng didn't dare to speak. This was definitely a scandal for the Sacred Family, involving the higher-ups of the City of Brilliance. He didn't dare to say anything about this matter.

The grey-robed elder flipped through the Thunder Fire Sacred Codex. The text was very complex, and even he only recognized a small portion of it. Nie Li's extensive knowledge shocked him. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What is this student Nie Li's talent like?"

Ye Sheng looked at Lu Ye. As a vice principal, he couldn't possibly know much about an unknown student.

Lu Ye hurriedly said, "I just checked. He only has a Red Soul Sea."

The grey-robed elder nodded. "What a pity. This child is learned and talented, but his talent is not very good. Otherwise, his future would be boundless. Ye Sheng, arrange for him to be a curator in the library!"

"Yes!" Ye Sheng quickly nodded. He knew the grey-robed elder had taken a liking to Nie Li's talent. Although Nie Li's talent was poor, his knowledge was vast, and he could even understand the Thunder Fire Sacred Codex. Being a curator would allow him to study ancient texts more. Everyone in the City of Brilliance focused on cultivating their own techniques, and few people took the time to study ancient texts. The grey-robed elder's arrangement was also to protect Nie Li, as a curator within Sacred Lan Academy would be shielded from the Sacred Family's pressure.

However, would Nie Li fear the Sacred Family's suppression? In his previous life, Nie Li would have been timid and avoided the Sacred Family at all costs, but in this life, Nie Li would not tolerate it.

Nie Li still had grudges from his past life to settle with the Sacred Family!

Shen Xiu glared at Nie Li with venom. She hated Nie Li to the extreme and said coldly, "I will remember today's events!" Shen Xiu was a vindictive person. As Nie Li's instructor, she naturally had many ways to cause trouble for him.

Hmph, Nie Li sneered. As an instructor, threatening a student in class was utterly shameless! Even if the Sacred Family didn't come after him, he would actively seek them out!

This was only the first exchange. Nie Li still had many tricks up his sleeve that he hadn't revealed yet. His strength wasn't enough yet to completely alienate the Sacred Family. After all, they were one of the three great Peak Families of the City of Brilliance. Nie Li understood that he urgently needed to improve his strength.

After that, Shen Xiu had no intention of continuing the lecture and ended the class abruptly.

The events of this class quickly spread among the students, becoming legendary. The Sacred Family, always so arrogant, had been severely slapped in the face this time. No matter how the Sacred Family tried to cover it up, such an act that violated the moral code of Demon Spirit Masters would be scorned by all Demon Spirit Masters. The Sacred Family considered Nie Li a thorn in their side, but they didn't dare to do anything to him. Conversely, if anything happened to Nie Li, everyone would suspect the Sacred Family. They didn't dare to act so brazenly, as the Sacred Family was not all-powerful in the City of Brilliance.

After this incident, the Sacred Family's prestige suffered greatly. It was rumored that when the head of the Sacred Family visited Ye Ziyun's father, the City Lord of the City of Brilliance, he was refused.

For Nie Li, this was undoubtedly something to be excited about.

Although he didn't know how to get close to Ye Ziyun, disrupting Shen Yue and Ye Ziyun's marriage was something worth celebrating.

After today's events, Shen Yue's image in Ye Ziyun's heart had also diminished considerably.

Vice Principal's office.

Shen Xiu's sharp voice could be heard.

"Vice Principal Ye Sheng, this student Nie Li is disrespectful to his elders and openly defies his instructor in class. It's extremely malicious. I request Vice Principal Ye Sheng's approval to expel him!" Shen Xiu said excitedly.

Even without that distinguished figure, Nie Li possessed extensive knowledge of demon spirits. Even if he couldn't become a powerful Demon Spirit Master in the future, he could still become a guest of honor for influential figures. Why would Ye Sheng expel such a student? Moreover, Nie Li had gained the admiration of that distinguished figure. However, Shen Xiu was from the Sacred Family, so Ye Sheng still had to show some respect. Ye Sheng said with a smile, "I'll consider this matter further. Expelling a student can have a significant impact."

"Vice Principal Ye Sheng, what is there to consider? I request that Nie Li be expelled immediately, otherwise I cannot continue teaching this class!" Shen Xiu said indignantly.

Ye Sheng's eyes flickered. This woman, Shen Xiu, was being too unreasonable. He smiled and said, "In that case, how about I transfer you to another class?"

Shen Xiu was slightly taken aback. She thought Ye Sheng would at least show some deference to the Sacred Family, but from Ye Sheng's tone, she understood his intention. Ye Sheng was determined to protect Nie Li. If she were transferred to another class, she wouldn't be able to cause trouble for Nie Li anymore. Shen Xiu cursed Ye Sheng inwardly but had to swallow her pride. "Then never mind. Let's forget about today's matter. In two months, there will be the Martial Artist test. If he ranks in the bottom three of the Martial Apprentice class, then Vice Principal Ye Sheng will have nothing to say, right? According to the rules of Sacred Lan Academy, the bottom three are expelled!"

"That shouldn't be a problem!" Ye Sheng chuckled.

Shen Xiu snorted, turned around, and slammed the door shut.

Seeing Shen Xiu leave, a cold glint flashed in Ye Sheng's eyes. Shen Xiu was too arrogant and overbearing, relying on her status in the Sacred Family. Ye Sheng thought that even if Nie Li's grades were poor, with his profound knowledge, he wouldn't be in the bottom three. Even if he were, that distinguished figure would likely recruit Nie Li.

At this moment, on the third floor of the school library, there were many small rooms for students of Sacred Lan Academy to read. However, it had now become the activity base for Nie Li and his companions, as Nie Li had just accepted an appointment from Sacred Lan Academy and become a curator in the Sacred Lan Academy library. Being a curator meant doing nothing and receiving over three hundred Spirit Coins monthly. Why wouldn't he accept such a position?

Sacred Lan Academy's act of appointing Nie Li was somewhat strange, but Nie Li understood after a moment's thought: the higher-ups of Sacred Lan Academy were protecting him from the Sacred Family's suppression! Although the position of curator was not significant, it was still an official position within Sacred Lan Academy, and even the Sacred Family had to consider the implications.

Nie Li was grateful to the higher-ups of Sacred Lan Academy for this matter.

Vice Principal Ye Sheng did not know that, with just a word from that distinguished figure, he had arranged a curator position for Nie Li, which would bring immense benefits to Sacred Lan Academy in the future.

"Nie Li, isn't it a bit bad to offend the Sacred Family like this?" Du Ze said after a moment of silence. He was a more cautious person.

"Who cares if it's good or bad, as long as it's satisfying," Lu Piao pouted. Seeing Shen Xiu's face contorted with anger made him feel good; he had never liked that woman anyway.

Nie Li looked at Du Ze and nodded. "I know what I'm doing! We don't need to attend classes for the next few days. I guess Shen Xiu is just itching for it."

Since Nie Li said so, Du Ze didn't say anything more.

Besides Du Ze and Lu Piao, there were three other commoner students with Nie Li. They were the ones who had stood at the back with Nie Li that day. Their talents were also not good, only having a Red Soul Sea. Nie Li trusted these three commoner students, Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun, and Zhang Ming. In his previous life, they were all capable assistants to Du Ze. Although their relationship with Nie Li wasn't close, they were very loyal and righteous, devoted to Du Ze. They fought bravely alongside Du Ze in the battle where the City of Brilliance was destroyed, true brothers!

And in this life, their small group had already formed around Nie Li as the leader.

"I just spent over six thousand Spirit Coins to buy six Beginner Soul Crystals. Next, I'm going to test your physiques!" Nie Li said to them.

"Test our physiques? Didn't we already get tested when we enrolled?" Du Ze asked doubtfully.

Nie Li smiled mysteriously. "My test is different from theirs!"

Everyone was a bit confused. This method had been used since the founding of the City of Brilliance. Their Soul Power was already determined; what did Nie Li want to test? A single Beginner Soul Crystal cost over a thousand Spirit Coins! Nie Li had bought six at once! However, Nie Li's profound knowledge had convinced them, and they now believed him implicitly.

"Generally, unused Soul Crystals are the most sensitive. If used to test only one person's Soul Sea, it will be very accurate. If more than two people repeatedly use the same Beginner Soul Crystal, the crystal will be interfered with and can only roughly detect the level of the Soul Sea and the strength of the Soul Power," Nie Li said with a smile.

"Besides the level of the Soul Sea and the strength of the Soul Power, what else can it detect?" Lu Piao asked curiously.

"The attribute of the Soul Sea, and the form of the Soul Sea!" Nie Li said with a smile.

Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the others exchanged glances. What Nie Li was saying sounded incredibly profound.
