Mana Revival: Starting by Sacrificing the Campus Belle!

Chapter 89: Chapter 77: New Passive Skill, 1% Enlightenment

Fang Xiu was caught completely off guard by the sudden voice.

It wasn’t his voice, nor was it Kajimi’s.

It had just appeared out of nowhere, right by his ear.

”Kajimi, did you hear anything?”

Fang Xiu wondered if it was the system’s voice.

It sounded a little different than before.

But the way it suddenly appeared was very similar to how Tongzi’s voice usually did.

”Yes, Master, I heard it!”

Kajimi nodded slightly.

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

He had originally thought it was the system.

But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

It was a voice that even Kajimi could hear.

[You have obtained the Passive Skill—Enlightenment!]

Just as Fang Xiu was puzzling over it,

that voice rang out again.

”A Passive Skill?”

Fang Xiu quickly opened his data panel.

[Fang Xiu]

[Level: 12]

[Profession: Sacrificial Master (SSS)]

[Active Skills: Sacrifice, Netherworld Thunder Fall, Star Punishment (Forbidden Curse)]

[Passive Skills: Fire Immunity (Level 1), Nether King’s True Eye (Level 1), Enlightenment (Level 1)]

[Life Increase: 10%]

[Equipment: Life Staff (Expandable)]

Sure enough, Fang Xiu saw that another Passive Skill had been added.

[Enlightenment: At any time, under any circumstances, there is a 1% chance to comprehend new Skills, Cultivation Techniques, Alchemy Techniques, Forging Techniques, etc.]

”What the hell?”

Fang Xiu stared at the description.

’This is kind of broken!’

’I can comprehend new Skills anytime, anywhere?’

Although there was only a one percent chance.

But no matter what, it was still a chance!

’What’s the deal with this Skill that just appeared out of nowhere?’

’A reward from the Gate World?’

Fang Xiu suddenly remembered.

When he first heard the voice, it seemed to imply this was a reward from the Gate World.

’Did the Gate World really give me this Skill?’

But why would the Gate World give out rewards?

”Master, I’ve heard that if you are lucky enough and gain the recognition of the Gate World, you can get a chance to obtain a Heaven-Gifted Skill within the Gate World!”

Just then, Kajimi offered an explanation.

”A Heaven-Gifted Skill? Is that even possible?”

Fang Xiu never would have imagined it.

That one could actually obtain a Heaven-Gifted Skill inside a Gate World.

And all he did in this Gate World was condense and evolve twenty-eight Bronze One Cultivation Techniques...

...into a single Golden One Cultivation Technique.

And just like that, he actually obtained the Enlightenment Skill.

This Enlightenment Skill was much stronger than other Skills.

Perhaps one day, Fang Xiu could trip and fall, and he would comprehend the Skill Hungry Tiger Pounce.

Of course, it might also be Rolling Donkey.

In short, as long as his luck was good enough to hit that one percent, the passive would trigger.

Then he would have a chance to get a new Skill, or something else.

Although it relied heavily on luck,

Fang Xiu had already encountered something as unheard-of as a Heaven-Gifted Skill from a Gate World.

A one percent chance ought to be much higher than whatever the odds of that were.

”Congratulations, Master!”

Kajimi quickly offered her congratulations.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And Fang Xiu had actually been lucky enough to get it.

On this point, Fang Xiu also felt that he had been far too fortunate.

’Points are really great. The Bronze One Cultivation Techniques I redeemed let me comprehend a Golden One Cultivation Technique. Trading 2,800 Points for what’s worth 10,000 Points... what a steal!’

Fang Xiu sighed with emotion.

But what made him feel like he’d truly hit the jackpot was getting the Heaven-Dropping Skill reward from the Gate World.

And all of this had started because of Points.

’It’s a shame. With only ninety Points left, I can’t do anything.’

Fang Xiu looked at his Points on his phone.

They were all used up in an instant.

He had originally wanted to buy a better dagger.

After all, the Poison Scorpion Dagger’s level was too low.

But now... Fang Xiu felt like there was nothing he could do.

Unless he went out to hunt Demon Beasts and earn Points.

But right now, Fang Xiu just wanted to focus on his Cultivation and at least raise his Level to 15 before going out again.

’Wait a minute. If I sell the Silver One Cultivation Technique I just comprehended, I should be able to get some Points, right?’

Fang Xiu suddenly recalled that on the way to comprehending the Golden One Cultivation Technique, its precursor was just a Silver One Cultivation Technique.

He could definitely sell it.

As for the Gold Level Cultivation Technique, Fang Xiu would naturally use it himself.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu went directly to the website to check how to sell Cultivation Techniques.

It turned out to be unexpectedly simple.

He just needed to upload the text version of the Cultivation Technique, and when someone bought it, the website would print and mail it directly.

’No wonder it smelled like fresh ink when it arrived!’

Fang Xiu finally understood.

He then looked more closely and saw that the website charged a twenty percent handling fee.

Of course, the fee was collected in Points.

”What a rip-off. Twenty percent of one thousand Points is two hundred Points.”

Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly.

Nevertheless, he still wrote out the text version of the Cultivation Technique and uploaded it.

By the time he was done with everything, it was already dark.

So Fang Xiu went to rest.

However, while he was resting, someone on the website saw that a new Cultivation Technique had been listed.

Some people with enough Points would buy any new Cultivation Technique that appeared just to check it out.

For one thousand Points, they bought it without hesitation.

The next day, Fang Xiu entered a state of Cultivation.

He needed to raise his strength to Level 15 before hunting Demon Beasts again.

After all, he had already reached Level 9 upon his Awakening.

If he didn’t level up again, his strength would probably be at the bottom of the class when school started!

But Fang Xiu didn’t know that while he was focused on his Cultivation...

...the Cultivation Technique he had uploaded yesterday had caused a huge stir on the Awakener Website.

[Holy crap, I saw a new Silver One Cultivation Technique yesterday. I received it today, and after trying to cultivate with it, my Spiritual Power absorption speed is ten times faster than the Silver One Cultivation Technique I bought before!]

[What a coincidence? I also bought a Silver One Cultivation Technique yesterday, and it actually let me break through a bottleneck I’ve been stuck at for a long time. I’m Level 40 now too.]

[Is it really that amazing? What’s it called? I want to buy it and check it out!]

[To the two posters above, did you guys happen to buy ”Little Square Cultivation Technique”?]

[Yeah, the name isn’t great, but any Cultivation Technique ranked as Silver One is worth a try, so I bought it. I didn’t expect the effect to be so outstanding!]

At that moment, on this website where Awakeneds gathered...

...the sales of ”Little Square Cultivation Technique,” authored by Fang Xiu, skyrocketed.

This Cultivation Technique was also given various tags: ”Must-have for breakthroughs,” ”The Golden Technique of the Silver District,” ”You’ll regret not buying,” ”Conscientious author,” ”Charity price”... and so on.

As for the author, Fang Xiu, he was still in the Gate World, cultivating day after day.

He cultivated for a day, and then another. By the next day, Fang Xiu’s Level had risen from 12 to 13.

But just as Fang Xiu wanted to continue cultivating...

...he was interrupted by a phone call.

Fang Xiu didn’t want to answer it at first.

But when he saw who was calling, he still pressed the answer key.

”Teacher Xia, what’s the matter?”

That’s right, the person calling...

...was none other than his homeroom teacher, Xia Yunmeng.

After all, he hadn’t officially graduated yet.

There was no reason not to answer a call from his homeroom teacher.

”Fang Xiu, where are you right now? If it’s convenient, I need you to come to the school.”

Xia Yunmeng’s voice came through.

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback. ’Go to school at this time?’

”Teacher, I’m inside a Gate World. Is it something we can talk about over the phone?”

Fang Xiu felt that if it was something unimportant,

it shouldn’t interrupt his Cultivation.

”A Gate World? Which one? I can come pick you up. This matter really requires you to come to the school.”

Xia Yunmeng’s voice was very serious; she wasn’t joking.

”Well... what is this about, exactly? Teacher Xia, I’d like to be prepared.”

Fang Xiu probed.

’What could be so important that I have to leave the Gate World for it?’

Besides, he had already told Xia Yunmeng he was in a Gate World, which meant he could encounter danger at any moment.

But Xia Yunmeng still didn’t hang up.

That was enough to prove that this matter was quite important!

”Mm, do you remember those two people from the school’s Gate World before?”

Xia Yunmeng didn’t hide anything.

She just asked a question in return.

”Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai?”

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Could this matter be related to those two?’

’Or rather, is it related to Lu Yu’er?’

’If that’s really the case, then I really do need to go.’

”Yes, those two. Weren’t they always clamoring that this matter was related to someone named Lu Yu’er?”

Xia Yunmeng continued, ”But we couldn’t find this person named Lu Yu’er, so in the end, we had a Psychic Awakener give them a lie detector test. And guess what the result was?”

’What else could it be?’

’Neither of them was lying, of course.’

Because Fang Xiu knew that what they were saying was all true.

In this world, all memories of Lu Yu’er had vanished.

Only three people remembered her.

Fang Xiu was one, and Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai were the other two.

Of course, Fang Xiu couldn’t say that directly; it would be too obvious. He could only ask, ”What happened?”

”According to the final judgment made by that Psychic Awakener, neither of them was lying. In other words, they themselves firmly believe what they said—that our school has a female student named Lu Yu’er!”

As she said this, Xia Yunmeng also sounded a little curious.

How could these two people fabricate a non-existent person and believe in her so firmly that they even deceived themselves?

”That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me, does it?”

Fang Xiu was very calm.

’At a time like this, I have to distance myself from it.’

”We originally thought the matter would end there, but recently, there seem to be some problems with their memories, and...”

Xia Yunmeng paused here before continuing, ”Those two have been clamoring to see you.”

Hearing this, Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

’See me?’

’Do Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai have some other business with me?’
