My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 421 - 324: In a World Undergoing the First Industrial Revolution (Part 3)

"Keep it up, I have faith in you," said Xue Dili.

He had also noticed Fafnir’s efforts over the past few days. Even in the toughest subject, math, this kid managed to scrape by with a passing score of 90 out of sheer determination. Coupled with her photographic memory, and choosing subjects like politics, history, and biology that required memorization, she had an edge.

Even in biology, the hardest parts were only Mendel’s pea experiments and other practical questions, which weren’t too difficult for her.

Moreover, there were actually two other kids at home studying subjects related to biology, so she wouldn’t fall too far behind in this area.

Xue Dili had also reviewed her results from recent mock exams. Fafnir currently scored around 540 on the national exam paper three, which gave her a good chance of getting into Ke University through the non-full-time college entrance exam.

Additionally, the non-full-time exam questions might even be a bit easier than the national paper three, so Xue Dili felt assured.

"Mm!" Fafnir waved to Xue Dili and, under the guidance of an invigilator, prepared to enter the examination room.

Xue Dili had actually noticed that he was at the East Campus, while Fafnir was at the West Campus.

At Ke University, the East Campus was largely for science and engineering subjects, while the West Campus included humanities, arts, and sports, with about five or six kilometers between the two campuses.

Xue Dili shrugged, but ultimately it depended on what subjects the kid chose.

At any rate, Xue Dili recommended she choose biology-related subjects, at the very least learning some of it might help him.

After escorting Fafnir to the exam room, Xue Dili also headed to the East Campus, where he submitted another leave request, intending to take five more days off to visit the Ninth Apostle’s home planet.

At the same time, he made sure everything was prepared on his end, with the Dimensional Blade, Cursed Blood, Golden Chalice, and the Insect-devouring Tree within his body all ready to go as his trump cards.

Especially the Insect-devouring Tree, which seemed to have lost its spirituality since his youngest daughter left. Now, Xue Dili could command the Insect-devouring Tree’s power at will.

In a discreet bathroom, Xue Dili drew the Dimensional Blade, cutting a Teleportation Gate with a horizontal and vertical slash, and stepped directly through.

...

Xue Dili felt, for the first time, that he was being blocked by the world.

This sensation was bizarre, akin to encountering roadwork halfway through a highway journey, leaving him stuck.

The reason was that the world prohibited his entry.

Xue Dili: "..."

It was also his first time encountering such a situation. He lingered on the outskirts of this world for half a day but could not find a way in.

Damn it, what kind of technique is this that it can prevent others from crossing over? It seems there’s no Transmigrator here, and perhaps no one else can enter through teleportation.

But if he were to rely solely on flying, who knows how many light years it would take—Xue Dili couldn’t possibly fly over even if he died trying.

Nevertheless, this piqued Xue Dili’s curiosity. If he could learn such a technique, he could cast a massive "No Entry" spell on Earth, ensuring nothing strange could come to Earth without permission under the protection of Absolute Forbidden Magic.

As for why Earth lacked such a "No Entry" technique, even his mom wasn’t omniscient. If she were, Xue Dili could just lay back and relax. Besides, the technique permeating this world was extremely complex, requiring Xue Dili to study it for a long time even if he brought it back.

He wandered along the world’s edge for quite some time before suddenly feeling a pull.

This pull was very familiar to Xue Dili, reminiscent of when he visited Fafnir’s homeland, the Holy Magic Continent, as if something were summoning him over.

But this time, the summoning was restricted. Xue Dili felt an intense suppression, as though his true form was not allowed entry, but he could enter by downgrading himself.

It’s like Xue Dili, now a heavyweight hauling over a hundred tons, had to offload his cargo before getting on the expressway.

Thus, the Insect-devouring Tree had to be compromised. As expected, after sealing the Insect-devouring Tree, the resistance diminished considerably, and Xue Dili successfully entered the world.

...

"I did it!" a sudden voice rang in Xue Dili’s ears.

Xue Dili opened his eyes to find his internal energy suppressed, his original Tier Four self decreased to near Tier Four. However, this didn’t impact Xue Dili much.

After all, his true strength didn’t make much of a difference; he was merely someone who played with Treasures and rituals. The difference between near Tier Four and Tier Four made minimal impact on his current abilities.

After all, near Tier Four and Tier Four only differed in the blue energy capacity. When you lack the ability to convert the maximum blue energy into combat power, the extra blue energy has little effect on combat strength.

He immediately began observing his surroundings, noticing he seemed to be in a sewer. The person next to him appeared to be a small, young beggar, very short, filthy, and exuding a sour stench.

This time, even without the language module left by the Great Sage deciphering the local language, Xue Dili felt a surge of knowledge entering him and being instantly analyzed by him.

This knowledge turned out to be the local language.

"Great! I succeeded! I successfully summoned a Heroic Spirit!" the young beggar laughed, revealing a mouthful of severely worn teeth.

Xue Dili wasn’t sure if it was a translation issue or something else, but he felt that the child’s understanding of "Heroic Spirit" was different from his own.
