10 The Library is malfunctioning?

"So... how are your legs feeling?"

Wang Ying widened her eyes in surprise as she heard the question. Aside from famous physicians and powerful cultivators, there was basically no way that anyone would be able to find out that her legs had been injured, not to mention cured by Zhang Xuan just moments ago. Lu Fengyi's sudden question was not only surprising, but also confusing.

"How did you know my legs were injured?" Wang Ying asked with a slightly creased brow. Lu Fengyi instantly realised his mistake as he thought about what he had just said. Being a transcender, of course he would know that Wang Ying's legs were previously injured, however he was supposed to have no knowledge of this matter if he wanted to conceal his identity. Scouring his mind for a cover up, Lu Fengyi was unable to come up with a reasonable explanation in time and could only resort to bullshitting his way out.

"That's a secret." Lu Fengyi spouted the most generic line he could think of before showing a slight grin. Wang Ying, still confused, decided to drop the matter seeing that Lu Fengyi would most likely not tell her how he knew.

"Anyways, how was the private lesson? Was it useful to you?" Lu Fengyi decided to break the silence with a casual question.

Wang Ying's eyes glowed bright as the answered, "Teacher is really skilled. After I returned to the dormitories, I met some people and they all said that Zhang laoshi is complete trash and came last in the teacher's examination, however after experiencing his lessons, I realise that all those comments were not true. Zhang laoshi is a really good teacher and most likely Dingli realm or higher!"

Lu Fengyi nodded in satisfaction, "From what I've heard from my father, Zhang laoshi is a really skilled teacher who views materialistic values with disdain and teaches his students wholeheartedly."

"Then how do you explain his score of zero on the teacher's evaluation examination?"

Lu Fengyi turned to Yuan Tao, who had just raised the question before feigning a confused look, "What is your name?"

"Oh sorry! My name is Yuan Tao. I've heard that Zhang laoshi scored zero in the examination from several elders who were speaking to each other in the entrance hall, so it most likely isn't false."

Lu Fengyi pursed his lips, "I don't know either, however I trust my father's judgement and as for the explanation, I guess we can only find out with time."

Only moments after Lu Fengyi finished speaking, Liu Yang stepped out from the small room, grinning with an evident reverence in his eyes. Yuan Tao stepped forwards and asked, "Have you withdrawn from Zhang Xuan laoshi's tutelage?"

"Withdraw? Why should I withdraw?" Liu Yang waved his hand, face not turning red in the slightest, "He who teaches me for a day is my father for life. I, Liu Yang, will not withdraw from Zhang Xuan laoshi's lessons. What kind of person do you think I am? Do I look like that casual of a person? I really don't know what you all are thinking, to be thinking about withdrawing all day along. Aren't you all embarrassed?"

Lu Fengyi covered his mouth with his hands, hiding his broad grin as he remembered what the rest of the students had thought after Liu Yang's statement.

One by one, the remaining students filed into the room and each came out with a satisfied and shocked expression. Although Lu Fengyi had not personally seen or heard what had happened within the room, he was able to remember each of the issues and flaws that the students had which were solved by Zhang Xuan on the spot.

After the last of the original five students, Yuan Tao, exited the room while indicating for Lu Fengyi to step inside, Lu Fengyi stood up abruptly before asking the system, 'I just realised a possible flaw. Will the Library of Heaven's Path be able to detect you?'

[ Humph! Did you think that a mere fictional grade item can surpass the might of the Fictional Transcension System? Even if I'm just a subsidiary of the main system, I still transcend the basic limitation of fictional existence ]

Lu Fengyi sighed inwardly, relieved that he would not be found out immediately before stepping into the room.

Within the room was a table and two chairs, one occupied by Zhang Xuan and the other, free for the taking. Lu Fengyi bowed slightly towards Zhang Xuan, "Teacher!"

Zhang Xuan nodded before gesturing for Lu Fengyi to sit down. After Lu Fengyi was comfortably within his chair, Zhang Xuan sat back into his own chair and questioned, "Talk a bit about yourself so that I get an idea to what you need to work towards."

Lu Fengyi nodded and began explaining, "My mother and father were both avid scholars and rarely touched upon actual cultivation, however their knowledge base was large and often read many books in order to obtain large amounts of knowledge upon the topic of cultivation."

Lu Fengyi paused a bit before continuing, "Due to this, I was raised feasting on knowledge and eventually, I neglected cultivation entirely, only learning the theory. Hence, I was able to completely ace the theory part of the examination while the physical aspect was quite lacking."

Zhang Xuan nodded twice before standing up and gesturing towards an empty space, "Show me your battle technique."

Lu Fengyi stood up before grinning sheepishly and demonstrating a series of waist and mid-height kicks before finishing with a deadly, roundhouse head kick to the air. Although Lu Fengyi was an author, he had never neglected his health and always ran every morning and afternoon in addition to attending daily taekwondo dojo for training. Now that Zhang Xuan had asked him to show his battle technique, his kicks were his only true fighting prowess.

Wiping away the slight sweat that had formed upon Lu Fengyi's forehead, he looked up to see Zhang Xuan with a poker face, however the slightest hint of confusion could be seen showing through.

Noticing Lu Fengyi's gaze, Zhang Xuan quickly composed himself, "I see that you have completed ample training in your legs and the technique is quite good, however I noticed that due to your lack of cultivation and strength training, you are unable to fully exert your strength through your legs causing a dramatic drop in power. Your main task for the rest of today is to simply raise your cultivation. I'll find a way to help you do that, however you must train diligently!"

Lu Fengyi nodded his thanks before stepping out the room and joining the class once more.

Within the room, Zhang Xuan creased his brows tightly. When this Lu Fengyi kid had displayed his kicks, the Library of Heaven's Path had not reacted at all. Although Lu Fengyi was evidently not displaying any cultivation based power, any simple punch by a cultivation-less commoner would still bring up a list of flaws from the Library of Heaven's Path, however Lu Fengyi's obvious display of fighting techniques did not even cause the Library of Heaven's Path to move, not to mention list the boy's flaws. Was the Library malfunctioning already?

Not only that, the kicks and spins seemed oddly familiar to a martial arts type he had seen back when he was still a librarian.

Zhang Xuan stretched his arms back before thinking to himself, "What the hell is going on?"
