Chapter 384 Small Protest

(From MC'S perspective)

Seeing my uncle walk into the living room, I turned to face him. Then hearing his question, I didn't hide. "I got two soul techniques," I said.

"What?" Mr James was taken aback. Soul technique! How rare it is?

"Is it true?" He asked back again. From Mr Jonathan's visit, he had guessed that the other party won't come empty-handed. But now this piece of information is truly shocking to him.

I nodded at him.

SIGH

I know for uncle it's a big deal. But after watching the name list of techniques in that black helmet. My knowledge got widened. It's a pity that I missed the healing element. Something can't be said to others.

Looks like to obtain a healing technique, I have to find some ways. Then I saw my uncle sitting before me. He looked at me with an intriguing gaze.

Feeling his burning gaze, I understand he wants to know more about soul techniques. Then I took five minutes to explain the whole thing to him.

After explaining to him, I laid back on the couch leisurely and then I shut my eyes for a moment.

I'm planning to go through the soul techniques thoroughly.

But before I could do that, I heard Uncle James' trembling voice.

"Zack?" He said.

The next second, I opened my eyes and looked at him. I found his expression was in total shock.

"Uncle, what is it?" I asked.

Why is he showing overreaction? It's just soul techniques. I got black lines on my forehead.

Mr James was shocked to the core. At first, he thought it was a normal technique.

But when he heard that the soul tower method can withstand the attack from the general level.

His world has turned upside down for a moment. He has only heard about the existence above Elite level from his superiors. And the General level was the peak of their cultivation of base.

To this that Zack's soul technique can withstand the soul attack from the general level. He couldn't able to keep his calm anymore. But when he saw Zack's laid-back attitude. He let out a bitter smile.

Then after calming down his heart, he answered, "Zack, do you aware of what's above elite level?"

I straightened my back and sat upright. "Above Elite level?" I muttered.

Before getting the soul techniques, I was clueless about higher cultivation levels. But when I read the description, certain words caught my attention.

"Super Elite," I replied.

Uncle James nodded and inquired again, "What is above super elite level? And further higher levels."

Hearing that I shook my head. I understand why is he raising this question all of a sudden. Because the soul techniques were too OP.

On the other hand, Mr James realised that he was rash at this moment. He shouldn't spill the beans yet?

Considering the competition is a few months away. Mr James felt it would be better if Zack can learn about the higher cultivation levels from the academy.

So he decided to stop his words. Then he got up from his seat and said to Zack, "Don't talk to anyone about your soul techniques, including Arthur and Elder Thornton."

Then he thought about something and added further, "Even if your lightning element got exposed to the world in future. It won't change anything. Once you become strong people won't mess with you unnecessarily."

"But soul techniques were different. It's a heritage."

After saying that he walked back to his room.

Seeing the disappearance back of the uncle, I sighed. His words made me ponder deeply. He even told me not to reveal it to Arthur and Elder Thornton.

Does this show how precious soul techniques are? I will not tell a single person about this. Like my lightning element, I will strongly guard this secret.

Then after getting back to my room. I searched the news about iron post city. While accessing the news on a sci-fi watch, I sat comfortably in my chair.

When the headline popped up, I begin to read it with curiosity.

[City Lord Mansion: Strange disappearance of warriors.]

This topic drew my attention immediately. I clicked the topic and began to read the article slowly.

My expression was normal at first. But when I finished reading the news, I couldn't help but reveal an amusing smile.

I guess this must be the work of Mr Jonathan.

Then I closed the site and began to get ready. I decided to go to the Hansen campus after breakfast.

Because the cultivation will be more effective inside the energy chamber. And I'm also going to start practising the soul cultivation technique. I want to get started successfully before my trip to the trunulesia forest.

Doing this will give me more confidence to face future troubles.

Time went by,

After having breakfast, I left home a few hours later. As usual, I went into incognito mode. I wore a hoody and mask to prevent people from noticing me.

Two and half hours later,

I reached the Hansen campus. After paying the amount, I stepped out of the air car. But the situation in front of me shocked me to the core.

"What is going on?" I looked at the situation in disbelief. A huge crowd gathered in front of the gate. They seemed to be protecting against the Hansen institute.

My words drew the attention of others.

Soon one person walked toward me from the crowd. He appeared to be the same age as mine. He looked at me from top to bottom.

"Brother, who are you?" The young man inquired.

My mask seems to be working. He couldn't recognize my face at all. I smiled knowing that then I responded by saying, "Cough, I'm a warrior from a nearby city."

The young man nodded in understanding.

Seeing that I'm stunned, he believed just like that. What is happening?

I looked at the young man with a puzzling gaze.

"Cough, Could you tell me?"

"What is going on?" I asked.

Hearing that young man nodded and began to explain to me.

A quick glint flashes into my eyes.

When I heard learnt about the whole situation. I sucked a cold breath.

This protest is all about the young warriors of this city. The young warrior in this red stone city wanted to fight against me. So they officially posed a challenge through media houses.

But as result, they got no response from the management. They patiently waited a couple of days here for an answer. Unfortunately, their efforts ended in vain.

This protest is now happening due to false rumours. The rumour is precisely about me. Someone had spread the malicious rumours that I had officially quitted from Hansen institute.

My gaze turned cold. Because of this rumour, I can see someone acting from behind. This rumour is not small at all. It has gradually taken a huge momentum.

And now the media houses were covering the news. They won't back off until they get news from the management. Either management has to release the news about my whereabouts or I have to come up myself.

This move is vicious. In a few days, I will depart for trunulesia forest. So protesting at this time is uncomfortable. I hope this won't bring any sudden changes to my plan.

Shaking my head, I proceed to enter the building. After walking past the crowd, I somehow got myself inside the building.

"Phew!" I sighed in relief.

I can still hear the voices of the crowd behind me. I don't know. When will the commotion be over? Someone needs to take the action.

Then I decided to meet Mr Arthur before going to the energy chamber. On the way, I found students talking about the commotion out there.

Without minding them, I walked past them.

A few minutes later,

I arrived in front of Mr Arthur's cabin.

"Creak" the door opened,

I walked into the room. Then I saw the worrisome face of Mr Arthur. No need to guess. He is worried about the outside commotion.

"Cough" "Cough"

I coughed twice to draw his attention.

Mr Arthur raised his head to see my face. Upon seeing me, he gestured to take a seat. I nodded and sat opposite him.

"Mr Arthur, what is going on?" I asked.

"SIGH"

Mr Arthur let out a deep sigh. Then a few seconds later, he returned to his usual self.

Mr Arthur replied, "I believe, you already know something about the protest."

I answered, "Hmmm, It's about me. But who is spreading the rumours?"

Mr Arthur commented, "This is what puzzles us. And Elder Thornton ordered us to not give any statement to press regarding this."

"He wants to find out who is behind these rumours" Arthur added further."

The atmosphere became silent for a moment.

Only Elder Thornton can do something about this. What I'm worried about is something else. If people decided to storm inside then who would go to stop them?

It's giving me a headache to me. I also know once such a situation arises, I will be forced to step up.
