Nie Li had only just come in and sat down, his seat barely warm, when Ye Xiu, sitting behind him, glanced his way. Nie Li immediately sensed that faint, elusive gaze from behind and looked back, but saw no one. He scratched his head, baffled.
Nie Li had no idea how much of a stir that inadvertent gesture had caused among Ye Xiu and the others.
"Did he... see us?"
"No, that's impossible. Anyone below Silver Rank simply can't see us."
That immediately drew Ye Xiu's attention to Nie Li.
Seeing this, Yun Tian thought,
He really is the protagonist. That intuition is pretty damn impressive.
Not a sound, not a footstep. You know perfectly well whether you're using cheats.
Up front, Shen Xiu's little mouth kept chattering away, while Nie Li, having spent several nights in a row hunting horned sheep, simply sprawled over his desk and fell asleep.
Shen Xiu happened to be discussing an inscription.
"This Blazing Fury Inscription was created by an ancestor of our Divine Family. It is the most powerful Bronze-rank inscription."
Just then, Shen Xiu noticed Nie Li sleeping, and her mood soured at once. Someone had come to observe her lesson today, yet Nie Li was sleeping right through it. This was a slap in her face. Shen Xiu promptly called him up, and Nie Li rose groggily.
"Nie Li, tell us how many basic inscriptions make up this inscription, and how powerful it is."
Nie Li gave it a few casual glances.
"It consists of thirty-eight basic inscriptions. As for its power, well, it might just about manage to boil water. It was originally a very powerful Silver Rank inscription, but some idiot turned it into this neither-fish-nor-fowl mess. It barely qualifies as a Bronze inscription."
