Capítulo 544: Chapter 8 Just like this, isn't it simple?_1
"Teacher Xuan really has an eye for talent... hahaha."
Jing Hongchen laughed dryly, his thoughts laid bare.
But inwardly, he was muttering complaints.
I'm the president, after all. Is it really okay to speak so bluntly?
Don't I deserve some face?
You address me as 'president' again and again, but I just can't see any respect for the President here.
"President, if you have something to say, just say it. I, Xuan Ziwen, will do my best."
Xuan Ziwen finally said something that Jing Hongchen could accept.
"Actually, it's like this. You know about Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, right?"
Xuan Ziwen nodded.
"They're both exceptional talents from our family... and we acknowledge your teaching ability. So, I want to enroll these two kids in your class..."
After speaking, Jing Hongchen rubbed his hands subconsciously, waiting for Xuan Ziwen's response.
In contrast, an odd look appeared on Xuan Ziwen's face. "President, you're a powerful Soul Master yourself. Moreover, our Hongchen Clan has Soul Masters who are no less skilled than me, so why send your family's prized talents to be my disciples?"
"Cough cough."
Jing Hongchen cleared his throat and then seriously said, "The path of a Soul Master should involve learning from various masters to forge one's own way."
The statement made some sense but not much... Xuan Ziwen pondered for a moment before shaking his head, "No, it won't work. I already have named disciples, and now there's Qin Xiao, and I'm also busy researching soul tools on a regular basis, I'm afraid..."
His response was effectively a polite refusal.
Normally, he would think someone as astute as Jing Hongchen would understand the implications of his words, right?
But then...
After appearing to ponder deeply, Jing Hongchen added, "How about just one person then? My granddaughter Meng Hongchen, she's clever and worldly..."
"Your granddaughter?"
Xuan Ziwen's eyebrows rose; he instantly grasped the key point. "President, you sure do know how to scheme."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Careful, or I'll accuse you of slander."
Jing Hongchen's face reddened, and he spoke with a gruff puff of his mustache.
"Psh."
Xuan Ziwen waved a hand dismissively, "I'm not going to quibble with you; if it gets any later, the cafeteria will run out of food."
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
"Hey, what about the proposal I just made?"
Jing Hongchen shouted after Xuan Ziwen's retreating figure.
"Tell your granddaughter to come and sign up early."
Xuan Ziwen answered without looking back.
Jing Hongchen rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Hehe.
He thought it better to foster ties with a genius like Qin Xiao as early as possible.
He firmly believed that Qin Xiao was bound to soar.
...
Elsewhere.
In the laboratory.
Ju Zi stared at the metal Array on the table that had already been carved into shape, nearly dropping her jaw in astonishment.
"Uncle-Master, have you really never made a soul tool before?"
"In this matter, do you think I have any reason to lie to you?"
Qin Xiao said, raising the Carving Knife in his hand, "Even this Carving Knife is yours..."
"So you really succeeded on your first try... Hiss."
After confirming with Qin Xiao, Ju Zi took a sharp intake of breath.
Being Xuan Ziwen's disciple, her talent didn't need to be spelled out; she was certainly a genius.
But even so...
When she first started carving her own Array, she also experienced failure.
Three times?
Five times?
Or was it eight times before she succeeded?
Ju Zi couldn't quite remember.
And that was just a primary, very simple Array.
Yet now, Qin Xiao had managed to carve it successfully on his first try?
This talent really was unmatched.
It just showed that Qin Xiao's control over his mind and body was astonishing.
Only such a perfect combination would enable him to accomplish such a feat.
"No wonder Teacher said he wouldn't take long to surpass me."
"Looking at it now, it really seems to be the case."
Ju Zi was now somewhat convinced of Qin Xiao's capabilities.
She also believed that what Xuan Ziwen said wasn't just boasting.
"Is it that difficult?"
Qin Xiao shrugged indifferently.
For someone of his vision and realm, it really wasn't much.
He even planned to carve two more Arrays for practice before starting to study junior Arrays.
The primary ones just weren't that interesting.
"It's not difficult for you?"
Ju Zi felt a blow to her pride.
In her mind she muttered, maybe this is the world of a genius which I can't comprehend.
No.
Aren't I a genius too?
Ju Zi decided she needed to redefine Qin Xiao's talent; well... for now, let's just call it freakish.
Qin Xiao didn't pay any attention to Ju Zi's thoughts and started to work again.
Before long.
Another Elementary Acceleration Array took shape.
Then came the Energy Storage Array, the Frost Array, the Scorching Heat Array...
Ju Zi was stupefied. All sorts of primary Arrays seemed to come naturally to Qin Xiao.
How could he look like a beginner?
In fact, Ju Zi felt that even if she were to carve these Arrays she wouldn't be as fast as Qin Xiao.
This, really, is this even human?
At least it shouldn't be.
Ju Zi had no idea what to say anymore.
After a while, Qin Xiao finally stopped.
Looking at his own work, he felt quite satisfied.
Being able to achieve this level was probably just him.
After all, not just anyone can have perfect control over their body, not waste any energy, and place a Carving Knife exactly where it needs to be.
That, too, was why whether it was the elderly Mr. Wang, Jing Hongchen, or Xuan Ziwen, all of them were incredibly excited upon learning that Qin Xiao possessed a Spiritual Martial Soul.
