Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1388 - 8: Crown Prince’s Study Companion_3

These days, the only course available in the inner circle of the Imperial Academy Supervisor is "The Mystery of Oneness" taught by General Zhenwu, Zhang Hongzheng. At first, Gongsun Ce was very much looking forward to it. After all, although his Impermanence Skill was taught by a famous teacher, it was essentially a fast-track method. Some basic knowledge was still lacking compared to formal academic backgrounds. Recently, the inner circle courses were enriching his basics and expanding his horizons, and he was thoroughly enjoying it. The Mystery of Oneness is said to be a subject passed down for two thousand years within the Imperial Academy Supervisor. Considering Gongsun Ce’s intelligence, couldn’t he at least grasp some super extraordinary Divine Skills...

However, upon seeing it, it was nothing like he imagined. The "Mystery of Oneness" is four meters long, four meters high, and half a meter wide. Its material is crystal-clear and otherworldly, standing squarely in the secret chamber of the Zhenwu Hall, covered with intricate etchings. It looks like a piece of transparent glass that’s been almost scratched all over... No matter how smart he is, he can’t make sense of it. Everyone knows these etchings must contain profound secrets, but without any starting point to decipher the code, how can you crack it? Stare at it with wide eyes?

"The Mystery of Oneness holds many secrets, each ancient sage had their own say~" Situ Yi said with a laugh.

"Situ means it’s not something you can figure out just by staring at it cluelessly; we verify it further with notes and previous deductions," Liu Zhongwu said. "Don’t be discouraged; when I went at first, I was just as confident as you, thinking I could understand something profound... Later, when I saw Yan Qi flipping through notes, I realized it’s not my intelligence issue. It still needs to be studied."

"How come I didn’t see Yan Qi reading notes?" Gongsun Ce was surprised. "Wasn’t he also staring blankly?"

"His brain is good; he’s already memorized all the previous records."

Gongsun Ce said fiercely, "I can do that too!"

"We know your brain works well, no need to show off, alright..." Liu Zhongwu’s voice suddenly lowered, "Hey, let’s hide first, something’s up!"

Gongsun Ce stopped in his tracks and followed him to look towards the square between the school buildings. Qin An, having just finished teaching, stopped in the middle of the square, sternly lecturing a boy about something.

"...You’re too lazy. You’ve been negligent in your practice these days, behind in your coursework, and often sneaking out of the Eastern Palace to play. Do you think this is the right thing to do?"

"Of course it’s right," the boy said. "Mr. Qin, you don’t know that I’ve completed all my tasks early, so I have the right to manage my own time freely."

This boy looked about ten years old, wearing long leather pants and a white T-shirt, with a motorcycle vest on the outside, and chewing gum while talking. His rebellious outfit made Mr. Qin frown: "What kind of look is that! If you’re not riding a motorcycle, don’t wear those clothes."

The boy was caught off guard: "Mr. Qin, your criticism is a bit odd..."

"How you dress is your business, but remember to dress according to the occasion," Qin An said with his hands behind his back. "I’ll check your work tomorrow. If you’re behind, let Little Qian spar with you for a week."

"Let’s not be so cruel, alright?" The boy clicked his tongue.

After giving a few instructions, Qin An turned and left. The boy blew a big bubble until it popped with a bang. He patted the corners of his mouth, and upon seeing the three peeking beside the school building, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over to pull Liu Zhongwu’s arm: "Liu Qing, are you free this afternoon?"

Liu Zhongwu’s round face turned sour: "What does the Crown Prince want..."

The 11-year-old Chi Zijing grinned widely: "I finally dealt with the teacher’s inspection, so I’m going to play ’games’ properly all afternoon!"
