Prodigy Development Plan
“Y-you’re kidding me,” stuttered Luo Feilong.
Mu Yu bowed and said, “Your humble disciple sends you his greetings.”
“Feng Mu… I… I… I can’t believe this… I can’t believe I took you into Yin Corpse Formation. I-I almost committed a grave mistake and became Formation Sect’s sinner! I’m so glad you’re all right! Hahaha! I knew the heavens wouldn’t abandon us. I need to inform Patriarch. Right, right, I have prepared a prodigy development plan. I need to finish the plan first. Don’t worry about your cultivation, Greater Heaven Stage disciple, hahahaha…”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu was so ecstatic that the reason Mu Yu refrained from revealing his abilities didn’t matter to him anymore. Mu Yu, to the contrary, believed an explanation was mandatory. “Please forgive me for not revealing myself earlier. As I am a new disciple, I had to learn the basics from a Heaven Stage caster. That was why I was usually absent when you assembled everyone. I was running late today because my teacher was giving me supplementary lessons.”
“Because of a class? Doesn’t that mean my impassioned speech and preparations for it were for naught? Who’s the son of bum who made you attend those classes? He nearly ruined us! Who’s he to teach you?! My. God! I knew a Heaven Stage disciple wouldn’t dare to be a diva. Tell me who is. I’m going to lecture his ear off!”
“Please do not blame him. I am grateful he patiently tutored me.”
“Well-mannered and talented. I couldn’t ask for more. If that is your wish, then so be it.” Greater Heaven Caster Lu turned around and shooed the others. “Go and train. A new disciple has already surpassed you.”
Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai regarded each other with a quick glance. The others departed as they were told. Greater Heaven Caster Lu launched his “prodigy development plan” that he designed ever since Mu Yu conquered the first formation tablet as if he couldn’t wait another second.
“Since you conquered the second formation tablet, you must be too tired to conquer the third one. Your knowledge of formations is still in its infant stages since you joined the sect not long ago. I need to expand your knowledge on our core formations. I must cultivate you into one of our candidates in the upcoming tournament against Talisman Sect that’s scheduled in a few months. We don’t have enough Greater Heaven Stage disciples. Therefore, you will join the Greater Heaven Stage team regardless of whether or not you become a Greater Heaven Stage disciple. It’s fine if you lose this year because it’s your first year. Next year, though, we will crush them…”
After two hours of non-stop speaking, Greater Heaven Lu finally finished with, “We’ll stop there for now. That’s only one tenth of the plan, so do you have any questions?”
“Well, umm…” Mu Yu scratched his head. “That was too much to remember.”
Carelessness didn’t go unpunished. Mu Yu’s response motivated Greater Heaven Caser Lu to repeat himself. Mu Yu futilely tried to stop the elder on multiple occasions as the latter was too focused on recounting.
“Do you have any other questions? If you don’t understand anything, I’m happy to repeat it,” enthused Greater Heaven Caster Lu, wearing an amiable smile.
“No, no, I understood that loud and clear,” responded Mu Yu, accompanying his response with furious nods.
“In that case, go and rest up. We’ll enact the plan three days from now. This is something I prepared for you, so use it as you see fit. If you need more, let me know.” Greater Heaven Caster Lu handed Mu Yu a pouch.
What’s the plan three days from now, wondered Mu Yu, clearly not having listened to a thing said in the last four hours. He opened the pouches and exclaimed in his head, Just how many Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations are in here?! I can even see dark ultimate ice jade, snowrock earth spirit milk and a level seven black tiger heart! I think I’ll feel bad if I don’t help them out now…
“This is all for me?” Mu Yu asked again to be sure due to the value he was given exceeding what even Heaven Stage disciples would consider generous.
“Of course! I can’t be a miser. I’m going to go and report to Patriarch, so head back and rest. Formation Sect shall rise again! Hahaha!” Greater Heaven Caster Lu was so close to walking with a bounce to his strides.
Mu Yu was aware he had to step gingerly henceforth for the spies were going to be targeting him. That was not to say that he was afraid of them. Upon returning to his room, he discovered the fight had already begun. Replacing Cheng Zhuo were two youths. Mu Yu looked them straight in the eye and questioned, “Where’s Cheng Zhuo?”
