A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 100: Skipping A Grade.

You Xi Wang was inside the punishment hall and he was unaware of the status of his physical body was in. The system has cut off his senses to prevent any distractions. You Xi Wang was now standing in his arms with no external support. It was because the system had locked all the joints and found the perfect balance point to keep the energy consumption low. The spiritual energy consumption was also kept low and only circulated to ease the muscles a bit or to take the pain of the lashes. 

The whole night was passed like this but You Xi Wang, who was focusing on adapting to his soul skills, was unaware of this for him: it was only an hour. When the sun rose outside the system came to wake You Xi Wang. 

[Master, it is time please wake up.] the system was not bothered about disturbing You Xi Wang in his cultivation. You Xi Wang was not at a critical juncture, and he was particularly not making any significant progress. It was just him getting familiar with the process.

You Xi Wang opened his eyes. He glanced around him and found that the world around him was a little different. The island now that scarce patches of grass. The patches were only 10 cm in diameter and were scarce. Just as he was thinking about how the world inside his soul sea changed the system explained. 

[Everything inside your soul sea is a representation of your soul power, as you grow the world will become rich and vibrant, and if someday broken your soul, then it will become hell. Also, the time is up; the sun is out. You move your ass away as I need to rest.] the system unceremoniously kicked You Xi Wang's consciousness out of the soul sea, before the latter even reacted. You Xi Wang shook his head helplessly and opened his eyes. 

ATTENTION: THE DURATION OF THE SENTENCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. 

THE PUNISHMENT HALL WILL NOW OPEN, THE PRISONER MAY LEAVE.

You Xi Wang felt he just hear the best symphony in the world. The system sneered, [You act as if you were tormented? You have been chilling for the past 8 hours. Hypocrite.]

You Xi Wang did not bother with it and tried to stand. Just as soon as his feet touch the ground, he fell miserably. He wailed in pain, his body was sore, all the pain his body went through came at him altogether. He felt a strong pain in his hands when he tried to support himself. His legs were numb because of irregular blood circulation, no matter how awesome the system was it could not defy the laws of gravity. You Xi Wang laid down on the floor for a few moments. He only stood up after he ran all his spirit energy throughout his body ten times. 

He reinforced his arms with it, put them under his chest as support, and stood up. His legs were still in a state of partial numbness, the lack of oxygen in the muscles can not be rectified in moments. Walking was an extremely difficult task for him, staggeringly he walked to the hall door. He supported his body against the corridor wall using his shoulder. He grimaced in pain, yet he could only go out on his own. According to family rules, the punishment is supposed to complete when the subject of punishment comes out of the basement on his own. 

It took him thirty minutes to walk out of the basement. He stepped out of the basement door and closed his eyes when the morning sun shone on his eyes. He lost his balance and was about to fall when he felt a soft grip on his shoulder; he grimaced in pain, and tears formed at the corner of his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and saw his sister was supporting him with tears in her eyes. 

He gave her a bitter smile and spoke in a low voice, "Did you not see how you will look if you cried so much, should I use aunt Bei's sketch next time?" his words brought a smile to his sister's face. 

While Chen Qianbei also could not help but only shake her head after closing her eyes. She was trying to hide her tears. The boys in the family moved and held You Xi Wang in their sturdy arms. The grip was tight and You Xi Wang cursed, "Do you guys want me to die? Be gentle big brothers or I will really cry." his tone was very pitiful, but his brothers only took pleasure in this. They chuckled and carried him to the room where Susan had a bed prepared for him. 

The boys put You Xi Wang on the bed and left after throwing some puns on him being a sissy. The ladies in the family left to cook food items and the males just went back to their work. Susan came to the side of his bed and gave him a check-up. She was about to give him some meds, but Celestia came to the room. Her eyes turned red when she saw You Xi Wang groaning in pain. Maya jumped out of Celestia's hands and sat down next to You Xi Wang. Celestia called for Susan and said, "Sister Susan, can you give big brother this peach? Will it be helpful?" her eyes were filled with anticipation, and Susan knew that the little fairy herself bought this. 

She smiled and picked her up in her arms as she spoke, "Yes, little one. It is good. Do you want it to feed it to him?"

Celestia nodded adorably, Susan couldn't help but kiss her cheek. She bought her to You Xi Wang and said, "Xi Wang, Celes is here. She bought you a rejuvenating peach."

You Xi Wang turned his head. He was right now laying with his chest down. He saw the adorable girl and only blinked his eyes in affirmation. He was too tired after all the energy inside him was exhausted when he felt pain. Celestia quickly came and held the peach next to his mouth. You Xi Wang grabbed a bite and then another until the flesh was all eaten, leaving only the pit in Celestia's small palms. He let out a smile, and Celestia smiled back. She kissed his cheek and said, "Get well soon, big brother."

You Xi Wang replied, "Thank you, Celes. Your Idol is coming over tonight right?"

Celestia nodded and spoke, "I will tell her no, you rest, and don't worry."

You Xi Wang replied, "No, I will be fine after spending some hours in the recovery capsule. Also, once you commit something, you should live up to it."

Celestia left after a few more words. She also needed to sleep. Mostly all the people who stayed in the mansion were sleeping. They all spent the night awake after all, and the stress of You Xi Wang's suffering made them tired. You Xi Wang asked Susan to send him to the hospital. There he spent two hours inside the capsule to recover. He called his friends regarding the grade skipping test application. The procedure of taking the promotion exam was different, the applicant must hand over a letter signed by his guardians of adults in the house acknowledging he could take this exam. Then he must inform his class teacher, then the principal was needed to be informed. 

There must be the whole team to follow you, and if a single member fails, then the whole group fails. Failure will result in expulsion from the school. The conditions were rash, but he had to do this in order to get stronger. After his team accepted the proposal, they all went to find out Maddison to register their team. They were told that the exam will be held the day after tomorrow. They all talked a little and You Xi Wang ran back to his office and saw a big commotion happening on the doors.

He walked forward and saw a beautiful woman was accusing an employee of scamming her. You Xi Wang asked the people in the crowd and turned out, the woman was accusing Sarangi Music Instruments of selling her a lot of broken instruments and when they asked for a refund. The company denied it, saying that they are not responsible for the delivery of the package. You Xi Wang was irritated. 

He stepped in and handle see this whole matter through. He walked ahead and came to stand in front of the raging woman. He spoke in a humble yet firm voice. 

"Madam, I am the CEO of this company, do you mind telling me your grievance, I assure you, that I will give you an explanation if your claim is correct." his words drew the crowd's attention and the woman. The woman saw a handsome young man in front of her was lowering himself to solve her problem. You don't slap a smiling face and a dazzling one at that. She told You Xi Wang everything.

She started a music outlet business after she finished her final year. Her background is not financially strong, so she bought some music instruments and set up a music teaching class and she also sells instruments. These days the guitar was very famous, and she ordered ten high-quality models of it, but when they were delivered by the company, the equipment was broken. She asked the person who took her order for a refund or a replacement and he said they are not responsible after the order is shipped. He also insulted her for not being rich. 

She found out that the company was a subjugate company to Tianlong Technologies. So she came here to see the higher authority but was stopped by this employee who asked her to wait for a week till they investigate. The woman direly needed money and could not wait for a week or her shop will be closed down. 

You Xi Wang asked her to sit in the waiting hall. He investigated and found out that the employee who caused all this was drunk on duty and was already fired. He provided the woman with a refund and gave her a 20% discount on her future purchase and replaced her order for free. He also called for an urgent meeting with the marketing department to deal with similar situations.
