Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Thinking too Much is Bad

Feng Hui continued to guide the students throughout the Black Ghost and explain its many components and zones, but Xue Bai wasn't paying much attention to him.

The screaming feeling in Xue Bai made him lose his calm, bringing him into a huge mental battle. From what the feeling could mean to why he was even feeling it, Xue Bai couldn't pay attention to anything around him.

So after Feng Hui showed the students where the rooms were, he simply declared ownership of one and left the group.

Xue Bai had no connections with those students, and Lin Fu and Feng Hui wouldn't stop staring at him.

Coupled with his screaming instincts, Xue Bai wanted to leave that group as fast as possible.

After declaring ownership of the room, Xue Bai didn't even bother using the key that Feng Hui gave him and simply used his physique to phase through the door.

The room was bland and still had the matte black color that the rest of the ship had, but Xue Bai ignored it all and just dove onto the bed face first.

However, even after he laid down on the bed, Xue Bai couldn't stop thinking of what his instincts were implying.

"What the hell was this feeling? Is Xiao Xuan that scary?" Xue Bai couldn't help but mutter aloud.

After Xue Bai left the group, the screaming feeling started to fade away, but even though it left, the impression it left on him didn't.

Xue Bai knew that once one truly began cultivation at the Qi Sea realm, one gained a sixth sense, which would allow them to almost foresee the future.

That was the reason why Xue Bai struggled to kill Lin Fu. Not only was he in the Qi Sea realm, but he was also at the realm's peak at that. So he had the sixth sense, and that was the reason why Xue Bai couldn't sneak attack him cleanly.

Though Lin Fu wouldn't be able to react instantly, he was still able to react just quickly enough for him to dodge the fatal blow.

However, as grand as those abilities were, Xue Bai didn't have that. He was still in the Bone Strengthening realm.

It was confusing the hell out of him, but no matter how much he thought about it, nothing came to mind.

Nothing in his memories of the game references a person named Xiao Xuan, so Xue Bai knew that he wasn't in the game. After all, his soul was as strong as a Law Engraving realm powerhouse, so at this point, Xue Bai could remember almost everything that happened in his past life.

Yet even with all of his thought-processing power and memories, Xue Bai couldn't think of anything.

The feeling of having your body screaming at you but being able to do nothing about it was far beyond annoying and was closer to scary.

"I give up!" Xue Bai angrily shouted.

He couldn't handle it anymore.

Giving up, Xue Bai sat in a lotus position and started cultivating.

'Since I know nothing about him, why the hell should I worry? I'll know whatever I want to know in a few days! No need to lose hair overthinking it now.'

And with such a thought process, Xue Bai ignored everything around him and started cultivating.

Sadly he couldn't use the Soul Sublimation Golden Lotus.

There was no one with him to assist him in draining the Spiritual Qi it produced, so if he used it now, not only would it kill him, but the other people in the Black Ghost would also notice it.

Using it now was a stupid idea, and Xue Bai knew that.

So while he thought it was a massive waste of time, he started simply cultivating the old-fashioned way and pulled a Spirit Stone.

Usually, Xue Bai didn't like using Spirit Stones to cultivate as the Spiritual Qi within them were extremely impure. However, he had cultivated the true Vein Transformation realm, and he could purify his Spiritual Qi later on.

For now, it was better to advance his cultivation base as much as he could.

Xiao Xuan was not only an anomaly but also stronger than him. And coupled with the man's ability to leapfrog several stages, Xue Bai needed any strength he could get.

Xue Bai would worry about his Spiritual Qi purity later.

—

A few hundred meters away, a couple floors above where Xue Bai cultivated, Lin Fu and Feng Hui were in a large hall together.

However, since Feng Hui was the master and Lin Fu was the disciple, the former sat in a chair comfortably while the latter stood at his side respectfully.

"Lin Fu, what do you think about that boy? What are your chances of winning against him?" Feng Hui asked as he stroked his beard.

After an afternoon of showing off, his poor mood had left, and how he was feeling rather good about himself. But after he remembered Xue Bai and how arrogant the boy had been just a few hours ago, he ended up tugging on his beard too hard and pulling a few white strands of hair off.

'Shit!'

Wincing in pain, Feng Hui gripped his head to calm himself down, but as he did, Lin Fu started talking.

"Master, truthfully, I have no confidence in Xue Bai. His abilities are too mysterious, and that sword of his even managed to take an arm from the Disciplinary Hall Head. So how dare I take it on?" Lin Fu spoke with a wry smile.

Lin Fu was young and had the hot-headedness and arrogance a genius of his age should have, but when it came to Xue Bai, he couldn't even give himself a 10% chance against the gigolo.

Between Xue Bai's ability to disappear at the drop of a hat before seemingly being able to teleport wherever he wished and the purple sword slashes that he could send out rapidly, let alone Lin Fu, even some of the Gold-Robed Students would have trouble against Xue Bai.

"However, I know one thing. Xue Bai can't kill me. His attacks are unpredictable, and his abilities are mysterious, but their speed still coincides with his cultivation base. This means that while his abilities can kill me, they have to hit me first," Lin Fu announced proudly.

Though Xue Bai's combat power was heaven-defying, it didn't come from overwhelming strength but rather unpredictability.

Lin Fu was physically unable to react fast enough to Xue Bai's teleportation, which was why he suffered so horribly at the hands of Xue Bai.

However, while that was true, it was also true that Lin Fu was able to react just in time to dodge a fatal blow.

Xue Bai couldn't kill Lin Fu, while Lin Fu wouldn't be able to get a hit in.

So while Lin Fu was definitely on the losing side of the battle, Xue Bai wasn't necessarily winning either.

Of course, if Xue Bai got a good hit like earlier when he severed Lin Fu's arm, then it's different, but Lin Fu was confident that as long as he was constantly alert, Xue Bai would never be able to get a chance like that again, hence his confidence.

But thinking of Xue Bai's mystical abilities got Lin Fu curious.

"Master, does the Grand Duke know what Xue Bai's abilities are? While I don't dare call myself the smartest man in the entire Empire, I still know a decent amount about the Northern Continent, and yet I still have no clue what's allowing Xue Bai to maneuver like that!" Lin Fu asked.

Nothing he knew of could allow a man to do that. Even Domain Lord realm cultivators with deep and profound knowledge of laws would struggle to even attempt to mimic Xue Bai's abilities.

So how did a tiny kid in the Bone Strengthening realm do it?

Lin Fu couldn't wrap his head around it.

However, his confusion was shared, as Feng Hui could only shake his head.

"While I haven't seen the Grand Duke recently, I spoke with Vice Academy Head Li earlier this week, and he had spoken to the Grand Duke himself. And he told me that the Grand Duke doesn't know either." Feng Hui sighed in distress.

Having to fight a powerful opponent was scary, but to fight an extremely talented genius with a power that shook all their common beliefs was even scarier.

In order to deal with people like Xue Bai with powerful backgrounds, the best way to do so was to kill them in secret, away from their home territory. But plans like that needed to be done perfectly, and without even the slightest grasp on Xue Bai's powers, how could they plan it out?

Even if they used a Heaven Encasing Net, the most common method of killing powerful geniuses, Xue Bai would just disappear from it!

Xue Bai's existence alone was forcing all of them to throw away their preconceived notions and readapt brand-new measures. However, without a grasp on Xue Bai's powers, they could only wait until Long Tian told them about the new measures.

Lin Fu sighed desolately.

It seemed he wouldn't be able to get his revenge anytime soon.

–

While Feng Hui was the person in charge of the Black Ghost, he wasn't able nor allowed to steer it.

This job was left to a set of cultivators who were there during the construction of the ship.

Steering a ship of this size and complexity was beyond Feng Hui's ability, especially since he only got the thing a few days ago.

So once all of the Black-Robed Students entered their rooms, the group of cultivators turned the ship on and started the trip.

"Students on the Black Ghost! The trip to the secret realm is going to take a few days, so for now, sit tight in your rooms and cultivate diligently. Any more strength gained is another wound on the body of the Kun Empire devils!" Feng Hui spoke over the ship's communications systems.

"However, for students at a bottleneck or wanting to find out the strengths of their companions or exchange pointers with their fellow students, you all may use the large practice field I showed you earlier. If you have any questions beyond that, find Lin Fu and ask him. He has the answers to most questions. And if not, he'll pass it on to me. Have a good time."

And with a loud clicking sound, Feng Hui shut off the intercom.

Xue Bai was brought out of his cultivation state by the volume of the intercom, but once he listened to it more, he realized something.

'He phrased himself weirdly. What does he mean by finding out the strengths of your companions? Doesn't everyone here know each other and their strengths?' Xue Bai thought inwardly.

Such weird phrasing naturally wasn't missed by Xue Bai, but once he did catch it, he became confused about its meaning.

Thankfully, the Heavens weren't indifferent to his plight, as before he lost sleep on the problem, they sent down a revelation to help him figure it out.

"Xue Bai! Open the door now! I, your father, Ling Yi, want to fight!"
