Li Lu embraced Huang Xiaolong, causing people nearby to look at them.
Although in appearance both of them were nine-year-old kids, but with so many people paying attention to them, he still felt a bit shy.
"Uncle" Huang Xiaolong greeted Li Cheng who was coming behind Li Lu, while trying to separate himself and create some distance from Li Lu: this girl seemed to be addicted to embracing him as every time she sees him, it seemed necessary to hug him at least once.
The most baffling thing was Li Cheng-- as a father, why doesn't he curtail his daughter?
Li Cheng smiled and nodded right at Huang Xiaolong before turning towards Fei Hou, respectfully greeting him.
They had already met the day before; therefor, after the brief greetings, together, they walked into the Cosmic Star Academy's gates until they got to a huge square paved with a rarely seen stone, Starlight Stone.
Starlight Stones contained a trace of spiritual energy and standing close to it energizes a person. Every piece of Starlight Stone is worth a thousand gold-- in such a huge square, how many Starlight Stones were that? This Cosmic Star Academy is really wealthy and influential.
There were already many people already gathered in the huge square, a few hundred in number: and they all came for the Academy registration.
Huang Xiaolong and the others looked around, then headed to the registration spot.
Arriving at the registration spot, they saw that the person in charge of reception was a twenty-something year old woman with arched brows and phoenix eyes. So fair was her skin that it seemed transparent to the bone; She was stunning! with a cold temperament.
"Hello Teacher, we came to register!" Li Lu walked up and said, her cute dimples making an appearance.
Xiong Meiqi looked up, seeing Li Lu's adorable dimples her cold face loosened a little. With a faint smile she nodded and asked: "Name, age."
Li Lu answered all politely.
After recording everything down, Xiong Meiqi gave Li Lu a wooden plate then told Li Lu to go into the inner hall to test her martial spirit and other procedures.
Despite stating requirements of grade a nine and above martial spirit and being under the age of twelve, there were still additional assessments to be taken.
Receiving the wooden plate, Li Lu stood one side to wait for Huang Xiaolong.
At this point, Huang Xiaolong walked up and withdrew a recommendation letter.
Seeing that Huang Xiaolong took out a recommendation letter, the amiable attitude she displayed with Li Lu vanished into thin air and was replaced with a frosty expression. Dislike and contempt shone from her eyes; she hated these types of disciples that didn't have grade nine martial spirits and instead, relied on their family's connection to get a recommendation for Cosmic Star Academy for special enrollment.
"Name, age!" Xiong Meiqi snapped.
"Huang Xiaolong, nine and a half years old." Huang Xiaolong answered.
Xiong Mei roughly recorded the information, and took out a plate about two thumbs size, with starlight twinkling and flung it to the floor, saying, "This is your student plate."
The twinkling student plate fell right beside Huang Xiaolong's feet, it was extremely obvious that the plate did not fall by accident.
Seeing this, Fei Hou and the two guards became angry, but just as they were about to step forward, Huang Xiaolong stopped them and shook his head. Only then did the three endure and restrain themselves.
Fei Hou picked up the student plate.
Since Xiong Meiqi threw his student plate on the floor, Huang Xiaolong was no longer inclined in being polite with such a person, his voice sounded cold as he asked "Where do I pay the fees?"
Xiong Meiqi retorted icily , "Are you dumb?! Can't you to ask someone else?"
"Insolent!" When Fei Hou heard Xiong Meiqi actually dare to insult his Sovereign as a dumb, his Tenth Order oppressive atmosphere was instantly released.
Xiong Meu blanked for a moment realizing Fei Hou was a peak late-Tenth Order warrior, but instead of fear, she laughed coldly, "Want to make trouble?" Saying that, Xiong Meiqi went all out, and her martial spirit appeared in the air behind her.
Xiong Meiqi's martial spirit was actually a butterfly!
But, her butterfly wasn't the common type; hers had eight wings colored golden-silver and a halo of colors surrounded its entire body.
"Seven-Colored Butterfly!" This was beyond Huang Xiaolong's expectation.
The Rainbow Butterfly was a rare kind of martial spirit; although it was a grade nine martial spirit, it was considered average.
Martial spirits of the same grade are further classified into: average, top, and apex classifications.
At this time, from different directions of the square, three silhouettes flew over to Huang Xiaolong's location at high speed and soon, the three figures appeared before them. All three people wore similar clothing to Xiong Meiqi, the Cosmic Star Academy's teacher uniform apparently the newly arrived people were also academy teachers.
One of the three had a vertical slit on his forehead akin to having a third eye, adding a devilish charm.
Arriving at the location, the slit on his forehead moved as he turned to Xiong Meiqi, asking, "Meiqi, what happened?" as his question ended; his gaze fell on Fei Hou.
Xiong Meiqi burned with indignation glaring at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou: "Just a waste of a student with a recommendation letter who is relying on a family's background to cause trouble!"
A waste with a recommendation letter!
Relying on family's influence!
Causing trouble!
Huang Xiaolong's face instantly turned cold. Initially, he found this woman unpleasant, but now it shot up to total dislike; even if Huang Xiaolong was registering into the academy with a recommendation letter and not through assessments, this was the Academy's issue, this ugly woman had no authority to interfere, she's only a teacher. By trying to vent her dissatisfaction on him, this woman chose the wrong prey.
"Oh, so it is a waste student bringing a recommendation letter; kid, if you're trying to make trouble you found the wrong place! Why don't you look around and realized where you are standing!" The man, Zhong Yuan barked at Huang Xiaolong, and continued in a cold tone, "Now, kneel down and apologize to Teacher Xiong, and we will forgive this matter, otherwise…!"
Those coming to register with recommendations usually had strong backgrounds, therefor in Zhong Yuan's opinion just punishing him by asking him to kneel down and apologize for his actions was already very tolerant and magnanimous!
Otherwise, he would have revoked this kid's qualification and told them to scram!
Kneel down and apologize? When Fei Hou and the two guards heard that the man wanted Huang Xiaolong to kneel down and apologize, their anger soared, and at this point, Huang Xiaolong shifted his attention to Zhong Yuan. Pointing at Xiong Meiqi, he sneered sarcastically, "I also give you and this female bear a choice, kneel down and apologize to me, or else…!" A cold, sharp light glinted in Huang Xiaolong's eyes.
Since these two people him and were giving him trouble, he would grant them their wishes.
That no one dared to do so past didn't mean no one would in the future!
By this time, those who came to register with their family had crowded around them; hearing Huang Xiaolong wanted two teachers to kneel down and apologize, shocked gasps echoed within the crowd.
This brother is too f**king awesome!
Xiong Meiqi and Zhong Yuan were shocked senseless; their faces turned red and deepened to purple in a fury; a waste relying on a recommendation letter to enroll was so brazen, and dared to tell them to kneel down and apologize to him instead!
That Xiong Meiqi pointed at Huang Xiaolong, her voluptuous bosom rose and fell as she hollered: "I'm revoking your qualification this instant, get out of here with your three slaves!"
Huang Xiaolong jeered, "You want to revoke my qualification? a mere teacher like you doesn't have the qualification!" What Huang Xiaolong said was a fact, only the Principal had the right to revoke the registration of students who registered through a recommendation.
Note:
Niubi – f**king awesome/ overwhelmingly domineering and strong
(can be used in feeling fear or comedic situation)
Repeats in coming chapter, pls let me know if you guys want it in pinyin or translated version.
"You!" Xing Meiqi was so angry that she didn't know how to retort. According to the Academy's regulations, only the Vice Principal and above had the right to revoke special admission students like Huang Xiaolong.
She had uttered the words in anger, forgetting this one detail.
Zhong Yuan, however, snorted and disputed Huang Xiaolong's words, "Although we don't have the authority to rescind your qualification, we have the right to propose and insist on your disqualification. Moreover, you caused trouble in the Academy, and us teachers have the right to detain and hand you over to the Disciplinary Hall."
After Zhong Yuan had said his piece, a bright light shone from his as Zhong Yuan released his martial spirits.
And his martial spirits was a mountain!
A triangular black mountain that has three eyes.
"The Three-Eyed Black Mountain!"
Like Fei Hou's Silver River martial spirit, the Three-Eyed Black Mountain is also martial spirits base on nature – Fei Hou's Silver River were a variation of a natural river, and the Three-Eyed Black Mountain born of a variational mountain.
Zhong Yuan immediately soul transformed after releasing his martial spirits, his body became covered with a layer of black armor and he struck out at Huang Xiaolong.
Although Zhong Yuan said he wanted to detain Huang Xiaolong, yet his strike was powerful enough to kill Huang Xiaolong and more likely than not, Huang Xiaolong would have been crippled even if he escaped death.
Facing this, Huang Xiaolong became even colder, and the words slowly came out: "Kill...him!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Fei Hou had been waiting for this instruction from Huang Xiaolong, acknowledged loudly. He released his Silver River martial spirits and soul transformed, punching out meeting the opponent straight on.
The two guards from the Marshal's Mansion fought against Xiong Meiqi and the other two teachers.
"Boom!"
Plangent blasts resounded as Zhong Yuan and Fei Hou's attack collided, and Zhong Yuan was seen staggering backward; the black armor protecting him dimmed considerably.
"You, peak late-Tenth Order!" Zhong Yuan was flabbergasted looking at Fei Hou. Earlier, what Fei Hou revealed was early Tenth Order warrior's atmosphere which led Zhong Yuan to think Fei Hou was just some general Tenth Order. Never would he imagined Fei Hou to be a peak late-Tenth Order! A warrior with Silver River martial spirits peak late-Tenth Warrior!
In the Cosmic Star Academy, there were a few Tenth Order warriors but a peak late Tenth Order was scarce. And since he was a third-year teacher, he was only a mid-Tenth Order.
Fei Hou disregarded Zhong Yuan's shocked expression; after he fended off Zhong Yuan with the first punch, Fei Hou reappeared in front of him in a blink of an eye, and struck again: "Heart Shattering Fist!"
A big fist-print pierced through across the distance, the space cracking from the force.
Face full of fear, Zhong Yuan gritted his teeth, and ruthlessness gleamed in his eyes: the vertical slit in his forehead suddenly split opened revealing a black protruding eye. This was Zong Yuan's martial spirit's innate ability.
"Divine Soul Eye!"
A dark black light burst out from the third eye on Zong Yuan's forehead and the black light amassed into a large black-colored eyeball that exuded a strong eerie atmosphere, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.
The black eye formed from the black light collided with Fei Hou's fist.
"Boom!"
In the collision, black eyeball continuously emitted plosion of sounds that exploded in the air. The strong wave of impact shook and repelled Zhong Yuan.
Fei Hou too staggered back. His brain was buzzing with a sound that wouldn't disappear and everything vanished from his sight leaving only a huge black eyeball staring at him.
While Zhong Yuan staggered, his attention was on Fei Hou and when he noticed Fei Hou's lost and confused eyes, a cold sneer appeared on his face; this was where his martial spirits ability had an advantage, it had the ability to quietly affect the enemy's body causing their eyes to see illusions.
A cruel glint flashed across Zhong Yuan's eyes: without wasting any time, Zhong Yuan flew at Fei Hou preparing for the next assault, a finger aimed at Fei Hou's temple.
"Piercing Finger Style!"
Battle qi swirled fiercely around Zhong Yuan's finger, creating a vortex of finger-print as it inched closer to Fei Hou's temple. Suddenly, the lost and confused Fei Hou turned sharp and focused. A sharp light flickered in Fei Hou's eyes. The Silver River martial spirits wound around Fei Hou and with every rotation, the Silver River expanded a fold.
"Divine Soul Eye?"
"Now, it's my turn to let you see my martial spirit's ability!"
Fei Hou had a condescending sneer on his face as the Silver River swiftly enhanced five-times strength splintering Zhong Yuan's incoming attack.
Zhong Yuan screamed, and his body was hurled off more than ten meters away, crashing down onto the square.
The students who crowded to watch had already fled far away in all four directions seeing Zhong Yuan defeated by Fei Hou before their eyes. All of them were petrified on the spot and silence filled the huge square.
Li Cheng and Li Lu's heart trembled witnessing this scene.
Li Cheng was shocked because of the recommendation letter in Huang Xiaolong hand; needless to say, this recommendation letter couldn't be from Huang Clan Manor's Old Patriarch. Not to mention Old Manor Lord, even the Canglan County's most powerful person couldn't get a recommendation letter for Cosmic Star Academy.
Li Cheng was taken aback by Fei Hou's strength, but more than that was Huang Xiaolong actually ordered Fei Hou to injure a Cosmic Star Academy's teacher!
Ah! This is the Cosmic Star Academy!
What is Huang Xiaolong's backup?
Furthermore, since when did Huang Xiaolong have another two Ninth Order warriors?!
This was because the two guards wore commoners clothes instead of their usual uniforms. Thus, no one knew the two came from the Marshal's Mansion.
Nearby, Xiong Meiqi who was fighting against the two guards saw Zhong Yuan's miserable ending, was stunned.
More than ten meters away, Zhong Yuan trembled as he crawled up, eyes widened with fear staring at Fei Hou: "Martial Spirit Strengthening!"
Strengthening martial spirits were amongst the strongest of innate abilities, and Zhong Yuan didn't expect Fei Hou's martial spirits to possess this particular skill.
And at this point, from a distance away, a dozen or so figures rushed over, with the whistling behind them as their auras burst out, overwhelming those on the square.
Huang Xiaolong turned around and saw a dozen figures flying over and his vision narrowed. Cosmic Star Academy's expert finally arrived! Huang Xiaolong's attention fell on the foremost most person where the strongest aura originated from - an old fellow in his sixties.
This old fellow's aura was slightly stronger than Fei Hou's but way weaker than Haotian; he should be a borderline peak late-Tenth Order warrior waiting to breakthrough to Xiantian.
"Vice Principal!" Seeing the person who arrived, Zhong Yuan cried out in elation.
But it can't compare to the delight Xiong Meiqi felt as she called out: "Dad!"
Dad!
The Vice Principal was actually that female bear's father?
Huang Xiaolong was a little jolted, and Fei Hou was also a little surprised by this event.
By this time, everyone had stopped fighting; the two guards retreated beside Huang Xiaolong.
Xiong Chu and Cosmic Star Academy's experts arrived, took a look around and saw the heavily injured Zhong Yuan; frowning, he asked, "What is happening?"
Zhong Yuan had yet to open his mouth when Xiong Meiqi rushed forward and said, "Dad, this waste with recommendation letter brought his guards over to our Academy to make trouble! A useless waste like this, you absolutely must revoke his qualifications!"
"Oh," Xiong Chu couldn't help but take another look at Huang Xiaolong. The Cosmic Star Academy had been there for more than one hundred years-- this was the first time someone dared to create trouble here in the Academy.
"Vice Principal, merely revoking his registration qualification is letting them off too lightly." Zhong Yuan interrupted at this point, looking at Fei Hou full of loathing. "This person injured Academy's teachers so he ought to be beheaded. Otherwise, anybody can come and create trouble at the Academy!"
