Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 347 And Then, The Gang Converged

--Main Gia Estate--

.

Several people were gathered together in a hall, taking tea while talking about the few experiences they had as Academy Elders.

They, as elders, were the first group to have broken past their mortal shells before the students did.

Hahahaha~

It was a whole new ballgame when one was no longer held back by their mortal shell.

These old men who needed their canes from time to time now found their backs straighter and their faces 8 years younger.

But that wasn't all.

A few white strands of hair on their beards and heads had reverted to their original color.

Their wrinkles had faded, a few chubby and fatty regions of their bodies had slimmed down, and their teeth stronger too.

What was this? 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Super hearing?

They could hear things in a greater range than when they were younger. And the glasses some of them wore were deemed useless.

Their eyes were perfectly fine, if not better!

Damn. Was this a secret way to the fountain of youth?

When they returned, several people were too shocked.

What the hell happened?

Had these old guys gone to do plastic surgery, bone regeneration, and other crazy things in just these few days?

Many who didn't know the inside scoop were flabbergasted, with their jaws dropped low to the ground.

Why? When? How?... Who are you again?

.

Today, if any matriarchs in high society saw old madam Ghu, they could grit their teeth, not caring about her high status, and corner her for the truth.

F***!

Why do you look so naturally young all of a sudden?

The key is that there are no signs of plastic surgery, with her skin looking so smooth and her hair growing longer and thicker, though it was still mostly filled with grays.

Also, looking at Ruddie, Chiyou's mother.

Her waist was thinner, smaller, and accentuated her body better. Her looks had suddenly improved up a notch, making one think she was in her late 20s.

But this was someone's mother!!!!

Old Mia, who escaped the mirror world last time, also had great chances resembling that of Old madam Ghu.

At this point, could one say cultivation changed them into fairies?

Their skins even looked better than those in the entertainment industry.

The guards who hadn't gone into the Academy were in awe, standing firm around the massive hall proudly.

They had to say they were greatly honored to be in the presence of these people whose auras were coaching tigers and hidden dragons!!

That is... Even from the doors and walls far away, they could still feel their hidden instincts, telling them not to mess with these powerful people.

Bear in mind that Old Gia and the rest had covered their auras, seemingly acting normal.

But from years of experience around old Gia, these guards could sense the changes in him.

How...

How terrible!

.

"Elder Endo, I heard you had just mastered the 3rd stage of the fisted Roar?"

Endo smiled, calmly drinking the tea in his hand.

After experiencing life and death severally in the academy grounds and going in advertised on his own, he was far different from the scared man who escaped the mirror world back then.

Everyone looked at Endo in shock.

What? So soon, he had reached the 3rd stage?

You have to know that from Pandrol's words, this skill called the Fisted Roar was a complex one far difficult to master.

They know this because before Endo picked it up, many secretly tried to see if they could understand or even begin comprehending what it was about.

But to no avail, their efforts were useless.

However, Endo was strolling in the library, looking for a skill to choose when suddenly, the book fell into his hands.

Destiny?

Pandrol only smiled, not deterring him from trying.

And sure enough, the book seemed to have called him attracted to his innate talents and abilities.

As expected of an elder chosen by the Grandmaster.

Despite his humble background, his talents were second to Old Gia.

Everyone had been too stunned for words after hearing the fairytale-like meeting between Endo and the book.

The way they looked at him had once again changed.

Now, they expected great things from him after getting such a magical calling.

.

"Please... You all praise and think too much of me." Endo said humbly, taking another sip. "Speaking of which, I happen to stumble across a fascinating sculpture that I believe is your work at the blue rose fountain?"

Old madam Ghu smiled. "Yes."

For her attributes, she had True Spiritual Roots.

To break it down, spiritual roots with a mix of 4 or 5 were called <False Spiritual roots>, making one's talent average at best.

True spiritual roots were but a mix of 2 or 3.

And Heavenly Spiritual roots was when one had but one attribute, naming them pure and more powerful than all the rest. Such people like Endo and Old Gia would take little to no time to advance.

Of course, those with True Spiritual roots were slightly average, making per se a B+ mark at best if one was to be graded in school.

It wasn't bad and still good.

Again, this B+ marl could be given to those in his category with a mix of only 2 attributes. 3 attributes would result in a Simple B or B-.

Bottom line, the more attributes one had, the less potential their future would hold.

But now, what made her and the rest of the elders who weren't Heavenly Spiritual root owners special, was the presence of one of their attributes being mutated!

.

That's right!

She, old Ghu, fell in the True Spiritual Root category, having 2 attributes.

But surprisingly, both attributes fused and joined into one, forming a stronger attribute --- Ice!

It should be noted that a person with a mutated spiritual root was just as powerful as a person with heavenly Spiritual Roots.

In a nutshell, the B+ region was no longer her category.

Now, she could shoot for an A- or an A. But with her potential, reaching an A+ and beyond like Endo and Old Gia wasn't going to be easy.

But this much, she was grateful and content with.

Furthermore, if she and the other elders with mutated roots got the perfect cultivation art that matched their attributes by 90~100%, they would undoubtedly be the strongest amongst their peers, even deadlier than the Heavenly root holders like Old Gia.

Hmm...

Old madam Ghu smiled, thinking of the many ice sculptures she created when practicing her cultivation art.

She kept her courtyard in the academy chilly, liking the cooler atmosphere more.

Fortunately for her, her husband, Old Ghu, was a person with an ordinary root; Fire, and a mutated root; Light.

He didn't seem to be bothered with her keeping the place icy.

He seemed to love defrosting her ice, practicing his fire ability and moves.

Old Hou, deputy director Xiang Shore, and everyone else grinned, conversing about their progress and further confusing the many guards around.

Ice sculptures? Thunder attributes?...

What exactly are they talking about?

Though they were trying to eavesdrop, they couldn't help themselves, wondering if the conversation was some coded one.

However, before they could react, the door suddenly burst open and in came a guard holding a walkie-talkie at hand.

.

"Pardon the intrusion." The guard said, humbly bowing before the gang.

"Yes, what is it?" The Old Gia asked calmly.

"A group of uninvited guests have arrived, demanding to see the Ghus. They said they were invited to the part and wouldn't leave until they enjoyed the feast."

Party? Feast?

Everyone frowned.

Who is it?

Have they no respect? Have they no shame?

Old Gia knew he hadn't called for anyone or was expecting anyone other than the Grandmaster.

Even the Ghus were trying to find out if they had some urgent meeting they pushed back, so much that the uninvited visitor would look for them so diligently.

Who?

Who is it that dared to brazenly come here to the ever-powerful Gia main residence without an invite?

"It's Old Bho."

Boom!

Several people stood without delay.

Old Bho? As in that firecracker?

Wasn't he supposed to be out by now?

They knew that if they did by seeing this lunatic, he would even camp outside the Gia residence forever, making trouble nonstop.

Sigh...

Even old Gia and Old Hou, when recycling how crazy this guy was back in the days, felt a tinge of headache already.

Forget it... Why not see him fast and chase him away before the Grandmaster came?

"Let him in."

"Yes, Old master."

When faced with such a person, what else could one do?

The guard spoke into his Walkie-Talkie, and outside the estate, Old Bho was smirking like a lunatic.

"Hahahaha~... They dare not let me stay out for long. Drive! Drive! Get into the bloody estate!!!"

He wanted to see just how much they were hiding from him!
