Chapter 796 Countless Failures For One Success!

Little Loki's three-meter-tall imposing figure shrunk again and reverted back to its kitten form.

"Ah?! Why do you transform back to your usual form?! I still want to appreciate your new cool form~! Come on, Little Loki~!

" Tang Li Xue whined spoiledly at Little Loki while shaking its tiny furry body playfully.

Little Loki rolled its eyes. It completely ignored the whining Tang Li Xue and yawned lazily as usual.

"Tsk~! Cheapskate, Little Loki~!

" Tang Li Xue pouted at Little Loki.

Of course, Tang Li Xue was only just joking around with Little Loki.

Using Little Loki in its battle form as her mount was completely out of the question since it would expose Little Loki's identity as Taotie's cub in an instant!

Moreover, the extremely intense ominous evil aura emitted by Little Loki in its battle form could no longer be hidden with its current method.

Even Tang Li Xue and Yaya secretly felt repulsive and uncomfortable by its intense ominous evil aura when they stood so close to Little Loki in its battle form, but they did not say anything about it in order not to make Little Loki upset.

It seems they should try to find a much stronger disguising treasure at least at the Spirit Treasure level to disguise Little Loki in its battle form and cover its intense ominous evil aura as soon as possible.

'Hais~! Another troublesome thing to add to my list...' Tang Li Xue sighed helplessly.

"Oh, no... It is already past noon. I have to attend Teacher Li Wei's inscription lesson.

" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in a flustered manner.

Tang Li Xue told Little Loki to train diligently at home, so it could quickly familiarize itself with its new power before she left her room and headed toward Teacher Li Wei's residence around the Education Department Building.

It only took ten minutes or so for Tang Li Xue to reach Teacher Li Wei's residence.

After knocking on the residence's gates for a while, Teacher Li Wei opened the gate and let Tang Li Xue enter his house.

"I have good news for you today. I have already successfully cracked open all of your boxes.

" Teacher Li Wei playfully said to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue's blue topaz eyes instantly shone in excitement as she asked:

"Really?! Then can you please give them back to me right now, Teacher Li Wei? I want to check something in those boxes!

"

"Nope~!

" Teacher Li Wei immediately rejected Tang Li Xue's plea.

"Why?!

" Tang Li Xue angrily asked.

"Because you would definitely not be able to focus on my lesson if I give them back to you right now.

" Teacher Li Wei sneered cunningly while glancing playfully at Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue:

".....

"

Well, that was actually so correct that Tang Li Xue could not even find any words to deny it.

Teacher Li Wei led Tang Li Xue into his study room while stating:

"Don't worry... If you successfully make a magic treasure today, I will return those boxes back to you immediately.

"

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes in disappointment.

She already tried to make a magic treasure dozens of times in these few days, but unfortunately, she never succeeded even once until now.

At first, Tang Li Xue thought she only needed to carve several inscription runes to form an array on the blank treasures in order to successfully create a magic treasure, but she was actually wrong!

She had to follow some rules to 'connect' several inscription runes together to form a complete array.

So, the process and method were far from as easy as she imagined before!

Tang Li Xue sat nervously on the seat across from Teacher Li Wei.

There was a working desk between them, and Teacher Li Wei put several thick books along with several blank treasures on the top of the working desk.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath as she opened several thick books about the rules of engraving arrays on the blank treasures.

After she re-read those books to refresh her memories about the rules for engraving arrays on the blank treasures, Tang Li Xue took a blank metal sword from the stack of blank treasures.

She held the blank metal sword in her left hand, while her right hand was holding the inscription pen given by Teacher Li Wei.

Tang Li Xue actually really wanted to use the Golden Inscription Pen she obtained from her system right now since it would surely increase her chance of successfully making a magic treasure.

But unfortunately, Teacher Li Wei kept observing her every move very carefully up close, so she did not have any chance to take out her Golden Inscription Pen.

Besides that, her Golden Inscription Pen was definitely a divine treasure which every inscriptionist master wants to have, so Tang Li Xue did not want Teacher Li Wei to know about it.

Tang Li Xue extremely focused as she began to use the ordinary inscription pen to carve on the surface of the blank metal sword.

Tang Li Xue had to carve Sharp rune, Sturdy rune, Energy Channeling rune to form one complete array.

That was only the most basic array, but the difficulty was not low for Tang Li Xue.

Especially since Tang Li Xue had mostly relied too much on the golden Inscription Pen she obtained from the System to forcefully increase the chance of her success all this time.

So, she immediately suffered many failures once she was forced to use an ordinary inscription pen right now.

"You still hold your pen unsteadily!

"

"Your elbow must not be lower than your wrist!

"

"How many times do I have to tell you that your pen has to stand straight!

"

"Your back is bent too much, and your face is too close to the blank sword! Straight up your back and move your face further away from the blank sword!

"

Teacher Li Wei's frivolous manner immediately disappeared when he entered his teacher mode.

He instantly turned into a perfectionist strict teacher!

Crack~! Crack~! Crack~!

BAAAANG~!

The crack spread quickly on the surface of the metal sword, and it exploded to pieces before Tang Li Xue could finish carving the basic array combination.

Tang Li Xue sighed in disappointment, but she still refused to give up. She immediately gritted her pearl-white teeth and took another blank treasure.

Teacher Li Wei nodded his head and smiled in appreciation when he saw Tang Li Xue's persistence.

Rather than teaching a lazy genius that easy to give up, Teacher Li Wei preferred to teach a bit dumber student but persistent and hard-working like Tang Li Xue.

This time, Tang Li Xue took a long metal ruler.

Just like before, she intended to carve the most basic array from the runes combination of Sharp, Sturdy, and Energy Channeling.

But only after she carved Sharp rune and Sturdy rune...

BAAAAANG~!

The long metal ruler exploded to pieces once again just like the previous metal sword.

Tang Li Xue tried again and again...

Four metal swords, two shields, two bells, and one metal rule were shattered to pieces as Tang Li Xue kept failing to complete carving the most basic array onto them.

Tang Li Xue decided to take some rest for a few minutes first while asking Teacher Li Wei:

"Teacher Li, this is so difficult. So, carving formations should be much more difficult, right? Well, since we have to carve several arrays to form a formation.

"

Teacher Li Wei shook his head to deny it and explained:

"It is actually not as difficult as you imagined. Carving runes, arrays, and formations have their own set of rules. Once you get used to them, I am sure that you will find them easy.

"

Tang Li Xue felt skeptical at Teacher Li Wei's words, but she did not bother to say anything to argue about it.

Teacher Li Wei chuckled since he could easily read what Tang Li Xue thought from her current expression.

"Inscribing runes on talisman paper carving arrays to create magic treasure, and building formations are completely different subjects.

"

"Inscribing runes on talisman paper is the same as writing a book.

"

"Carving arrays to create magic treasure is like making a treasure from scratch, except that the blank treasure is made by a blacksmith.

"

"Building a formation is almost the same as building a house.

"

"Those are the reasons why they have different titles from each other which are called Inscriptionist Master, Treasure Refiner, and Formation Master.

"

"Just because you are already quite good at inscribing runes on talisman paper, it does not mean that you can quickly learn how to carve arrays to create magic treasure.

"

"It is natural for you to feel difficult since you just learn to carve arrays in order to create magic treasures in these few days.

"

Teacher Li Wei explained to Tang Li Xue patiently.

"Then why do I have to learn all of them? Is it enough for me to learn to become an Inscriptionist Master?

" Tang Li Xue asked again.

Teacher Li Wei laughed at Tang Li Xue while stating in an angry tone:

"I never tell you to completely master all of them, okay?! I only tell you that you have to learn all of their basics, so you can deepen your knowledge! You have to learn all of the basics if you want to become a proper Inscriptionist Master!

"

Tang Li Xue could only shrug her shoulders helplessly after she heard Teacher Li Wei's reasonable explanation.

Tang Li Xue continued to try to make magic treasure without any intention of giving up, and after spending more than two hours and failing dozens of times, she finally succeeded in making a barely proper magic treasure!
