章節 9: Arriving at Dao Wu City
When Tian Feng took a glance at her earlier, Fei'er happened to catch his gaze. She noticed that he's no longer embarrassed. She releases her embrace and Tian Feng went back to sit on the side as if nothing has happened.
His aunt is his aunt. No matter what, she's still his aunt.
This surprising event has caused him to forget about the negativity earlier and calm himself down.
Now that I think about it again, my soul is 1000 times stronger than average people. I can also leave my body temporary. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see me in my astral form. When dirty ideas were creeping into his mind, he quickly brushes them away.
[Let's just pretend that I spent those point to unlock this ability.]
The carriage goes on and finally arriving at the city gate in the evening.
Four guards are standing in front of the gate, each with a spear in hand. When the carriage rolls closer, one of the guards come forth and talk with Da Fang.
Da Fang jumps off the carriage and walks toward the guard.
The guard asks for identities and purposes for entering the city. He then tells Da Fang to call everyone off the carriages for the sake of safety check.
After counting everyone, the guard then asks for the entry fee. As if he has expected it, Da Fang took out the money prepared by Tian Lang and gave it to the guard.
The guard took it and signal for them to leave. "Alright! You may enter."
Da Fang beckons everyone to get back onto the carriage.
"Wait there!" The guard was about to walk away when he heard a familiar voice, turning his head around he saw a middle-aged man on the city wall. It was his boss, the city gate officer.
The man seems to be drunk and he was staring at Fei'er with a lustful face. When the guards saw that, they shake their head helplessly.
It seems like this is a common event here.
The guard earlier turns back to Da Fang and warned in a low voice to "You guys shouldn't resist him. Think of the kids. If he's angry, you will all die."
He didn't want this to happen but he's just a guard at the end of the day. There's nothing he can do about it.
At that moment, Tian Feng had received a mission from the system.
Side Mission Details
Name: Protect Tian Fei'er
Details: "Secretly kill the city gate officer."
Reward: 15000 points
Failure Punishment: None
There's no failure punishment which means that he could ignore the mission but how could he ignore it? Even if there's no mission, he would still help his aunt.
As someone who had lived for over thirty years, how could he not aware of that old man intention?
Target Status
Name: Gu Cheng
Age: 49
Cultivation: Mortal Stage 2
Upon seeing the other party cultivation level, he frowned in worried. For an instant, he didn't know what to do.
However, recalling that he's a man with a system, his confidence rose up. Since the system has issued a mission, that means he must have the capability to complete it.
Racking his brain for a solution, he remembers the Astral Projection ability that he just got today. He had wanted to use his soul to kill the man but he doesn't know any soul technique.
It's like having money but have no way to spend.
[I need to distract everyone attention first.] With this thought, he started to vibrate his body and toss himself to the ground. The moment his body hit the ground, he leaves his body in astral form.
After which, he immediately flies toward the old man who was standing on the city gate. He saw the man's soul but comparing to his soul, it's so weak.
Without any hesitation, he throws a punch toward the man head but what happened next startled him. His punch went through the other party's head. It was like he was punching the air.
[Could it be that I can't touch anything with this form?]
For a moment, he was lost. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. Tian Feng tries to feel his soul energy and control it. Although it's not a perfect control, he can move it.
When he sees that, his eyes lit up. He punches out again but this time with his soul energy.
As expected, it worked. The moment his soul energy comes into contact with his opponent's soul, the old man's soul dissipated and he abruptly fell down from the city gate.
Bam!
The guards turn their head toward the source of the sound. What they saw in the next moment left their jaw agape.
It was because their boss surprisingly fell down from the city wall. One of the guards nearby rushed over to take a look and a moment later, he shouts "He's dead."
The other guards were bewildering, not understanding what was happening. Their boss has reached the second stage of the Mortal Realm. So even if he was drunk and fell from this height, surely it wouldn't cause him to die instantly.
Not to mention a Mortal Stage 2 would even so careless as to fall down.
No matter what they think about it, they just can't make sense of the situation at all.
Tian Feng take the opportunity when everyone was in a chaos to return to his body since the body of the old man has just hit the ground.
The middle age man has done many evil deeds. So while his death is full of suspicions, nobody actually voices it out. People didn't like that officer. He was always drunk on a daily basis.
Besides, nobody actually knows what happened anyway.
"Ding... Congratulation on completing Side Mission: Protect Tian Fei'er"
"Ding... Obtained 15000 points"
Although it may seem like a long time has passed, the event actually happened in a few breath duration.
Earlier, he purposely vibrates himself and falls to the ground so he could leave his body. It also acts as a distraction.
He feels that he had spent too much soul energy in earlier attack but it can't be helped. He doesn't have a proper soul technique and was only depend on brute strength. He wasted tons of energy in the process.
Due to him not having a soul cultivation technique, he won't be able to recover his lost soul energy.
The city gate has become crowded after his group entered the city. In the carriage, Fei'er was looking at Tian Feng teasingly. There's a faint smile on her face as if she's looking at something funny. "Little Feng! Do you always faint whenever you scared?"
"I...I...This..." Tian Feng didn't expect his aunt to tease him like this, he didn't know what to say.
Noticing the awkward in her nephew, she laughs out again.

In the city, there are so many people and even the road is better than the one back in his hometown. Da Fang drives the carriage to one of the inns and stops there.
Everyone settled in that inn and rest for the night. Tian Feng stays with his aunt while Da Jing stays with Da Fang.
In the following day, Da Fang left to find information about the academy while Fei'er stays in the inn to look after the boys. In the afternoon, Da Fang came back with a good news.
"One month from now, the academy will hold public examination to select students from the new generation."
This news is excellent, especially for Da Fang. One month is enough for his son to breakthrough to level 9.
During this whole month, Tian Feng and Tian Fei'er tour the city twice. Tian Feng also earned quite a bit of point back.
He didn't cultivate as he wants to walk around to trigger some hidden side missions. However, he couldn't find any more mission.
One month passed in a flash...
Da Jing has successfully reached level 9. Da Fang has gone back since the second day.
During lunch, the three of them sit down together. Tian Feng glances at Da Jing who has just reached level 9. "Eh...Da Jing! Tomorrow is the exam. Luckily, you come out of your cultivation just in time."
"Really? It was close! hehe... But, do you know what the test is about?"
Tian Feng nodded and quickly explain the information he has gathered from going out this past month. After hearing the process of examination, Da Jing turned solemn for a moment before determination filled his face.
The examination consists of three stages. The first stage is elimination combat. Second is the test of willpower. The third is the test of comprehension ability.
Since the exam is tomorrow and Da Jing hasn't toured the city yet. Fei'er takes them around the city one more time.
However, Da Jing was not as excited as when Tian Feng first toured here. He looked worried. Fei'er also noticed this and she asks "Da Jing! What's wrong?"
Da Jing wakes up from his thought and laughs. "It's nothing. I'm just worrying about tomorrow exam."
He was afraid of failing because he doesn't know how to face his father should he failed this exam.
Fei'er pats his head and smiles brightly. "If you guys fail, then no one will pass."
Walking a bit longer, they found a hot pot restaurant. Tian Feng urged the two to try it. They had their fill before returning to the inn.

On the exam day...
When they arrived in front of the academy, there were already so many people gathered. A commotion broke out and the crowd rushes over to take a look. Tian Feng group also go along.
In the center of the crowd, he saw two boys fighting each other. The two were wearing beautiful clothes so he assumed that they must have come from a wealthy family or a big clan.
The boy who's looking older is calm and collected. He seems to view this as an insignificant problem. Hand behind his back, he spats. "Li Xing! Today is the examination day. I don't want to cause trouble. Get lost!"
However, the moment the other boy heard this, he spits and laughs. "Get lost? In your dream!"
After which, he dashed forward and throw a punch toward the other party but his opponent sidestepped a bit and dodge his punch with ease.
When Li Xing saw that his opponent can dodge his attack with such ease, he retreated. "Liu Qu! You should just stay at home, a person like you don't deserve to study in the academy."
"huh?" Liu Qu dashed forward and send a kick toward Li Xing.
Li Xing couldn't dodge and fell to the ground trembling. "My family won't let you off."
He ran away after threatening Liu Qu.
Liu Qu walks out of the crowd to stand by a corner. Tian Feng didn't know what was going on between them and he didn't really interest.
At that moment, a few figures were seen flying toward the crowd. Someone saw them and shouted. "The Elders has arrived."
"It's elder Wang. I heard that he's also a pill cultivator. It'd be great if I could become his disciple." a kid said, his eyes were gleaming in admiration.
"Elder Yun also come. I heard he the best blacksmith in the entire academy" someone else said excitedly.
Various praises and comments are going on below the stage.
"Silent!" One of the elders said. His voice was just like he was whisper into your ears. It wasn't loud but it was clear enough for everyone to hear.
"It's elder Bai, he's in charge of discipline." someone whispered.
Elder Bai continues after seeing that the crowd has quietened down "As you all may have already know that the exam consists of three stages.
The first stage is the elimination. Strength is essential and without strength, you won't be able to voice your opinion.
Everyone who has registered come up to the stage. Those who fell from the stages will deem failed. The last people that stand on the stage will pass.
The time limit is 30 minutes.
Do you understand?"
Upon seeing that everyone went up to the stage, Elder Bai commences the start of the examination. "Well then, Let's the battle begin."
