Chapter 17: Successful Inheritance
Editor: Atlas Studios
Betta and the other two followed the old principal to a training room.
This training room was used for the teachers to teach in school.
Usually, the room would not be empty at any one point of time.
As long as one teacher finished using the room, another teacher would immediately take over the training room.
But today, the training room was empty.
After arriving at the training room, Betta thought that the former principal would start teaching immediately.
However, the old principal walked quietly to an oil painting by the wall.
Extending his right hand, he held onto a corner of the oil painting and pushed it aside.
Then, the oil painting tilted over and fixated itself onto the wall.
As the oil painting moved, the floor next to the old principal opened silently, revealing a secret passage.
"D*mn, our school actually has such a thing. This is too cool!"
Tom said excitedly.
Though Anne said nothing, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
To them, these secrets and opportunities were things that they would never be able to come into contact with in their lifetime.
At that moment, they felt that they were really too lucky.
Betta, who was standing behind them, rolled his eyes.
This was the best mutant school in New York City— No. 1 Middle School in New York City.
How could there not be any secret facilities?
It would be strange if there was no secret passage in the entire school.
After the secret passage was opened, the old principal gestured for the three of them to enter.
As they gradually descended down the stairs, the three of them arrived at a tunnel.
This tunnel was made of a special type of metal that was extremely sturdy.
Even if the entire school turned into ruins, nothing would happen to this tunnel.
At the top of the tunnel, a white light would be lit at every point for illumination.
By now Tom and Anne were looking around with faces full of curiosity.
Betta waited for the principal silently.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
Infiniti came up behind the three of them and said softly.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, he walked towards the three of them and led the way.
Betta, Annie, and Tom followed closely behind.
The tunnel was not very long. Soon enough, the three of them reached the end of the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel was a metal door. On it was an extremely heavy handle that looked like a rudder.
The old principal reached out one of his hands and gently moved it over the handle.
The heavy-looking handle was easily twisted open by the old principal.
The handle made cracking sounds and the metal door opened.
As the door opened, Tom exclaimed again.
"F*ck!"
This time, not only Tom, but even Betta was surprised.
This huge basement was actually a vast wilderness!
The three of them walked slowly into the basement. Principal Infiniti followed, closing the door behind them.
The moment the door closed, no traces could be seen.
Tom couldn't help looking over his shoulder and reach out to touch the air in front of him.
However, there was nothing.
"Principal, what, what about this door?"
Tom nervously grabbed the air in front of him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't catch anything.
The entrance they had just entered seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Seeing the flustered students in front of him, the old principal, Infiniti, chuckled.
"The door, it's inside the school."
Such ridiculous words made Tom unable to react at that moment.
Betta said calmly.
"You mean we're not in school right now?"
"Correct." The old principal gave Betta an approving look.
"Maybe you don't know yet."
"I, Infiniti, had another title before I became principal."
Hearing this, Tom and Annie looked at Infiniti curiously.
Even Betta couldn't help but listen carefully.
Looking at the three youngsters in front of him, the old principal smiled.
"I am the strongest mage of array!"
The strongest.. mage of array?
Betta's eyes flickered.
He had been sweeping the floor at the Demon Hunter Union for an entire year but had never heard of any mage of array.
It seemed that he knew too little about this world.
However, this also made Betta feel that his choice to come to school was the best choice in his life.
"The reason why you were able to come to this desolate land through that door was because an old man set up an array formation on that gate."
"Spatial Transfer Array."
"As long as you pass through that door, you can come to another place."
"Even if it's from a thousand miles away!"
Tom and Annie looked at the old principal with admiration.
This was too damn cool.
Just by walking through a door, one could instantly travel thousands of miles.
If one were to miss out on this ability, one would probably never have a second chance to come into contact with it.
"Principal, can we learn such a powerful superpower too?"
Annie couldn't help but ask.
Infiniti touched Annie's head and said.
"Of course. I took you in as my disciples so that I could teach you everything I know."
"What have you learned in your lifetime?" Tom was extremely shocked.
Never in his wildest dreams would he imagined that he would be so lucky.
He probably wouldn't even dare to dream of such an opportunity.
However, Betta was the calmest among them.
Whatever that Betta had learned so far was not important anymore.
Even if the former principal only intended to teach them some simple things, Betta could still forcefully assist them through his furnace system.
Furthermore, it was strengthened into an even more powerful superpower!
Without any hesitation, Betta immediately extended the spiritual spider web.
The spider web did not spread because the old principal was right in front of him.
Three light balls soon appeared on the spider web.
The two relatively dim ones were Fireball and Healing.
The other eye-catching thing was the old principal's supernatural power:
Spiritual Array Technique!
In order to avoid being discovered, Betta pretended to be surprised and excited.
A huge furnace appeared above his head.
Soon, the dazzling ball of light was sucked in.
It was different from the superpowers from before, it was merely an independent superpower.
This Spiritual Array Technique was a superpower series.
It would take some time to strengthen it.
< Accepting the inheritance of Spiritual Array Techniques >
[1%]
[2%]
…
The prompt in his mind was rising slowly, however Betta stood aside silently, pretending to look around curiously.
In reality, he was concentrating on strengthening the supernatural power in the furnace.
Finally, the progress reached 100%.
[Ding, congratulations on successfully receiving the inheritance and obtaining special ability—Divine Array Technique]
