Hearing the roars of Zhangsun Feihu, Jiang Yi shook his head speechlessly. He didn’t even bother to say anything while he cast his sight at Mentor Feng.
What shocked him was that this Mentor Feng gestured for a cadet of the guards’ team to come and help assist Zhangsun Feihu in his recuperation. His face turned serious as he spoke to Jiang Yi, “Is there a need to use such ruthless methods for a regular match? Cadet Zhangsun had already been severely injured, the bet shall be denied. What do you think, Cadet Jiang Yi?”
Jiang Yi laughed while those nearby cadets all thought they heard it wrong. Since it was a fight, it was inevitable there would be injuries. The Battle Arena’s rules had always been ignorant toward injuries, and it was a common issue. This Mentor Feng actually showed his favoritism in front of everyone? He was using a tone that was meant for negotiation, but it was obvious that he used his mentor’s status to oppress Jiang Yi!
I don’t have any comments.
Jiang Yi’s stomach was filled with fire, but he had no place to vent it out. He didn’t even try to give any grace to the mentor and scoffed. “Mentor Feng, we should follow the rules of the Battle Arena! Of course… if you forcefully want to deny this match, I would have no choice but to inform the Principal.”
“En?”
Mentor Feng’s eyes flashed of a chilling light. This lowly Write-In Cadet didn’t know what was good for him? He even dared to use the Principal to pressure him? A lot of the cadets had a change in expression after hearing how headstrong Jiang Yi was. Mentor Feng was still a mentor after all, right? If he was to offend a mentor, how would his future days go on peacefully?
Shh-shh-shh!
Right at this moment, a group of cadets walked in. Their leader was the bronze-skinned and dashing Zhan Wushuang. He swept his gaze through the crowd and finally stopped at Jiang Yi, revealing a smile. “Brother Jiang. I heard that you are having a fight? Why didn’t you ask me to come and give some prowess support?”
Mentor Feng’s expression changed; the two guards also let out a serious expression. Zhan Wushuang just entered the college and had displayed his aggressive nature. It took him three days to challenge five Ordinary Cadets and successfully raised his rank from Write-In Cadet to Ordinary Cadet. He was the direct descendant of the Battle God’s clan, and both his status and talent were highly regarded by the college.
Such a figure actually addressed Jiang Yi as Brother Jiang? And with such a friendly tone? Mentor Feng hesitated for a moment before making a decision in his heart. “This fight has concluded. According to the rules, Jiang Yi has won the 300 accumulated points.”
Mentor Feng circulated his essence force around the two jade tokens. Zhangsun Feihu’s token dimmed while Jiang Yi’s token brightened. When Jiang Yi received his jade token, he poured in his essence force to take a look and saw the word ‘800’ appear. It meant that his accumulated point increased by 300.
“Grandson. You shall wait and see. I, Zhangsun Feihu, shall return you today’s grievance by ten folds in the future!”
Zhangsun Feihu left a vicious statement before being brought away by one of the guards for recuperation. Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang walked out to see Qian Wanguan and five men walking quickly towards them. When Qian Wanguan realized that Jiang Yi safe, he then looked at Zhan Wushuang with a smiling expression. “Big brother Zhan Wushuang is here, too? Are you alright, Boss?”
“I’m fine!”
Jiang Yi nodded and looked around before speaking softly, “It is all thanks to Young Master Zhan, or else they would have tried to ran away with these 300 points. And also… is that Mentor Feng a member of the Zhangsun Clan?”
“Trivial matter!”
Zhan Wushuang waved his hand and explained: “This Mt. Spirit Beast College is one of the three major colleges of this continent. They possess the mystical powers of taming beasts. The college is situated in between the Divine Martial Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom. It is natural that major clans from both kingdoms would send their members in here. Take the Qian Clan for example, who already send the most people here. But it is hard for any of the major clans to grasp the position of the ten vice principal positions or the principal position…”
Jiang Yi’s heart had a relief, knowing that the upper echelons of the college didn’t contain any of the Zhangsun or the Jiang Clans’ members. At least he was rather safe within the college.
“Alright then.”
When Zhan Wushuang saw the smiley expression of Qian Wanguan who was about to say some flattery words to get near him, he waved his hand in frustration. “I will be going into the Hall of Divine Monument for some fun. I shall take my leave.”
As Zhan Wushuang left with his men, Jiang Yi looked at his back and lamented, “The Zhan Clan sure is overflowing with wealth. Zhan Wushuang doesn’t have any points. Wouldn’t he be spending purple gold like pouring a bucket of water?”
“He is the direct descendant of the Battle God’s clan. As long as it can help to improve his strength, purple gold isn’t a problem.” Qian Wanguan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yi furrowed his brows and asked again, “What is Zhangsun Feihu’s status?”
“A direct line clansman, but not as elite as the top two young masters.”
Qian Wanguan let out a face of concern and said seriously, “Boss, when you need to leave the college next time, do not leave my side. It is safe within the college, and as long as you are with me on the outside, Zhangsun Feihu wouldn’t dare touch you.”
“Alright. Qian Wanguan, you can go back to your own agenda. I will go into seclusion.”
Jiang Yi patted on Qian Wanguan’s shoulder with gratitude. He knew that this fatty was putting a bet on himself and was a merchant at heart, but in Jiang Yi’s heart, he already accepted him as a friend.
After bidding farewell to Qian Wanguan, Jiang Yi headed back to the cultivation room. The sky was already dark; if he was to cultivate now, it was still considered half-a-day; and Jiang Yi felt it wasn’t worth it.
Hall of the Divine Monument?
Passing by the Hall of the Divine Monument, Jiang Yi subconsciously paused. Zhan Wushuang just went in, and this place seemed to have this mysterious power that was tempting him.
Shall I go in and take a look?
Jiang Yi hesitated. Three hundred points wasn’t a small amount, and it could last him 150 days in the cultivation room. After a moment of consideration, Jiang Yi ultimately couldn’t hold back the curiosity as he clenched his teeth and went in. Anyway, he just won 300 points; he could just take it as though he didn’t fight that match earlier.
“Jade token!”
At the entrance of the hall were two guards that similarly blocked Jiang Yi with an emotionless expression. Jiang Yi took out his jade token and handed it over. The guard nodded and said, “Two hours for 300 points. Since you have 800 points, you can only stay for a maximum of four hours. Go in then!”
After Jiang Yi walked, the two guards looked at each other and let out a mocking expression. One of them criticized him. “Fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm? Not even a true warrior yet, and he wants to comprehend the Divine Monument? Did something go bad in his brain?”
…
The Hall of Divine Monument is massive!
When Jiang Yi walked in, he realized that it was extremely spacious within this hall. Right ahead were six alleys connecting to six side halls. Obviously, each of the side halls had one of the six Divine Monuments.
With the time pressing on, Jiang Yi didn’t dare to idle. He randomly chose one of the alleys that was connected to the side halls. In the middle of the hall was a human-shaped statue with two stone monuments on each side of the statue. One of it was carved with small wordings while the other didn’t have any wordings but a complex and peculiar image.
This individual has such a strong killing aura. It is just a statue, but the imposing aura it gives out deters anyone from looking at it directly.
Jiang Yi swept a glance at the statue and could feel a suffocating feeling. That individual had gray hair and bloodshot eyes. He wore a blood-red-colored battle armor and wielded a blood-red-colored halberd. He looked just like a Killer God.
Heaven Monarch of Massacre. An invincible existence that lived on the continent 10,000 years ago. His life was filled with wars and battles. He had killed hundreds of thousands of enemies. No one lived to tell the tales of a battle with him…
Jiang Yi swept his look at the left stone monument. It was a simple description of the life of the person in the statue. This person was a horrifying existence that was famed for being a madman who committed massacres. He never had anyone from the same generation who could match up to his might. The number of enemies he slain numbered up to ten million.
The Hall of Divine Monument required 300 points every two hours. Thus, Jiang Yi didn’t even stay a while longer and quickly headed towards the other stone monument. It was obvious that this complex image was left by the Heaven Monarch of Massacre.
What frustrated Jiang Yi was that after he looked through the entire stone monument a few times, he couldn’t understand anything even after he tried to do some analysis. He totally couldn’t understand what did the image mean.
After about an hour—seeing that 300 accumulation points was about to be put to waste, Jiang Yi panicked. He didn’t want to go to the other side halls and was afraid time would be wasted if someone was already there.
What does the image mean? Is it a martial skill? What can it be? This image is much too complex, and there are many areas where it isn’t even clear!
Jiang Yi blinked his eyes in confusion; he suddenly slapped his head and cursed himself for being dumb. He had the ability to enhance his vision with the black essence force, right? Perhaps, he might be able to find out the gist of the image.
“Buzz!”
As soon as he channeled a wisp of black essence force to his eyes, an anomaly happened—
The stone monument suddenly let out a blinding red light. An extremely horrific killing aura was released from the stone monument which shrouded the entire college, putting everyone in astonishment.
