Chapter 133: Life 66, Age 20, Martial Master 1
The day after everyone finished advancing to Martial Master, Instructor Yuan had us gather in the classroom bright and early.
“At the beginning of the year, you were all given various assignments for raising your affinities.” Instructor Yuan walked back and forth at the front of the classroom as she explained. “While most of you no doubt have access to outside resources to help you meet these goals, you are not to use them. Doing so will result in the entire class being penalized. If anyone has already done so, speak up now and your assignment can be modified appropriately.”
She paused to let anyone speak up who needed to, but no one did.
“Very well, let’s continue.” She reached into her storage bag, took out a small clear vial, and set it down for all of us to examine. “Does anyone know what this is?”
I examined it closely. It contained the same energy I had seen in the chairs at the Ning Clan mansion.
“Some type of wood energy,” I stated, “but it’s strange.”
Everyone but Zhuge Yan shook their heads, so the instructor directed her attention toward him.
“Well?”
“It’s wood essence.”
