“Senior Brother, we should ask our Master about this first. We cannot make such decisions without his permission.”
One of Yang Qi’s junior brothers beside him whispered.
Yang Qi didn’t add any words and just looked at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian was feeling grateful.
It was important to know that the Abyss Academy and Misty Cloud Academy were on the same level; both were king forces and extremely strong existences.
Any martial artist who wants to join them would have to have a super talent or be some ultimate genius. The only other way to enter would be to participate in a series of tests. There are supposedly no other ways to get in.
For Yang Qi to directly invite him, one can easily tell he thought highly of Luo Tian.
Luo Tian couldn’t help but feel grateful to Yang Qi.
Yang Qi can easily tell he had a shattered dantian, yet he still invited him? One can see that Yang Qi was really a good person.
But Luo Tian still didn’t want to join any forces. He said with gratitude, “Thank you, Big Brother Yang Qi, for seeing me in such a favorable light, but I currently don’t wish to join any forces…”
“Kid…!”
Before Luo Tian could finish speaking, the expression of the young man who had just whispered to Yang Qi instantly changed. It was as if he had just suffered the greatest insult possible, so he shouted, “Do you really think you’re some hot shit?! Have you taken a good look at your own cultivation realm? What qualifications do you have to join the Abyss Academy? Senior brother invited you because he thinks highly of you, yet you dare to reject him. Don’t think you are invincible just because you showed off a little bit of strength in Martial Mountain City!”
“Humph~! You don’t even know how to appreciate others’ kindness.” The other youth grunted.
Yang Qi frowned and softly shouted, “Zhou Tianjun, that’s enough!”
Zhou Tianjun snorted before glancing at Luo Tian in disdain. “Senior brother, he’s not qualified to join the Abyss Academy with his current strength. He’s not even qualified to take part in the tests!”
Yang Qi’s expression turned unhappy. His eyes darkened as he glared at Zhou Tianjun, “Are you the senior brother, or am I the senior brother?! Do I need you to tell me what to do? If I say he is qualified, then he is qualified. If you keep talking nonsense in front of me, don’t blame me for being impolite to you!”
Yang Qi scolded him with a powerful aura exuding from his eyes.
Zhou Tianjun was not happy inside but didn’t dare to show it. He lowered his head and said, “You’re the senior brother. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken so much.”
Yang Qi turned back to Luo Tian and said, “Little Brother Luo, you don’t need to stoop to his level. He has always been someone who speaks straightforwardly without hiding his thoughts. Are you really not going to join the Abyss Academy? As long as you nod your head, I can let you become a student of Abyss Academy without taking the examination.”
Yang Qi was inviting Luo Tian with sincerity.
If any other martial artist were invited to the Abyss Academy, most likely, they would agree to it without even thinking about it.
This was the Abyss Academy!
A king level force, a symbol of status!
If Luo Tian became a student of the Abyss Academy, the Bai family would never dare to touch a single hair on him. When they see him, they are even more respectful than when they see their own ancestors.
Luo Tian didn’t even reconsider and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Big Brother Yang. I really have no thoughts of joining any forces for now. But if one day I do change my mind and want to join a certain force, my first choice will definitely be the Abyss Academy.
“Hahaha…”
“Impressive personality!”
Yang Qi laughed and didn’t mind Luo Tian’s response. “Towering Cloud City has my Abyss Academy’s recruitment branch for new students, so you can enroll at any time. Little Brother Luo, I really hope to see you at the Abyss Academy one day!”
Luo Tian cupped his fists and replied, “We will definitely see each other one day.”
He will definitely go to the Abyss Academy in the future.
Just because of the supreme treasure left by Mount Hua’s progenitor!
Yang Qi picked up his wine cup and said to Luo Tian, “Good! Having little brother’s promise is more than enough. I will be waiting for you at Abyss Academy.”
He then downed the entire cup of wine.
Luo Tian also picked up his wine cup and drank the entire thing.
The dishes were served, and the four of them started eating.
Yang Qi no longer brought up the topic of inviting Luo Tian to Abyss Academy anymore but spoke about what happened in the Martial Mountain Range.
Luo Tian was shocked as he never imagined a huge battle involving over a hundred people would take place.
Dozens of people had died.
It was all to fight for the big green guy, and that big guy wasn’t even present! If he was there, most likely, the battle would be even more of a bloodbath.
That wasn’t the greatest shock to Luo Tian. Instead, the Hulk’s bounty had soared to two million xuan coins, becoming the top ten most wanted people in the devil sect! Luo Tian felt a sinking feeling in his heart as he said to himself, “Fucking hell! The next time I transform, I really need to pay attention to my surroundings. If someone happens to find me, then I’m really going to be hunted down by the good guys and the bad guys!”
“Oh, right!”
“Little Brother Luo, why are you here at Towering Cloud City?”
“Last time in Martial Mountain City, you killed a disciple of the Bai family from Towering Cloud City. You aren’t in any trouble because of it, right?” asked Yang Qi while he tore off a chunk of meat from a roasted chicken leg he was holding. “If there is, you can go ahead and tell me. I can do whatever I want inside a mere Towering Cloud City, even if there are a few old guys from Misty Cloud Academy around. Dealing with the five big families of Towering Cloud City is just a matter of me saying a few words!”
Yang Qi wasn’t boasting because it was a fact!
Even an odd-job student of the Abyss Academy can crush the five big families of the Towering Cloud City!
They were this strong!
Luo Tian smiled and said, “Thank you, Big Brother Yang. Don’t worry, I will definitely tell you if there’s something I can’t handle.”
After pausing for half a second, Luo Tian then asked, “Does the Misty Cloud Academy also have a branch in Towering Cloud City?”
Yang Qi replied, “Just like our Abyss Academy, they have the same setup throughout the continent. Cities like Towering Cloud City would have posts for recruiting disciples by the Misty Cloud Academy and the Abyss Academy. When we have matters to take care of, we will go through those teleportation points within the branch. Otherwise, even if we have a flying divine beast, it would take a few days just to go back and forth to the academy. That is simply a complete waste of time.”
Luo Tian didn’t have a lot of knowledge of the Ancient World.
After hearing Yang Qi’s response, Luo Tian said to himself, “That silly queen has to go through the teleportation point in Towering Cloud City, too, if she wants to go back to the Misty Cloud Academy. I wonder if she’s gone yet…”
“Damn it!”
“Where is your self-respect?!”
“She doesn’t even like you! She is treating you like her little brother, so why do you keep thinking about her?!”
Luo Tian smiled bitterly inside his heart.
People always want what they cannot have!
This was a disease that only plagued humans!
After eating and drinking, Luo Tian wanted to pay, but the bill was snatched by Yang Qi. This somehow made Zhou Tianjun beside him upset again. His icy, cold eyes looked down on Luo Tian even more now.
When Luo Tian left, he spoke up and said, “Senior brother, why are you being so polite to him? You treated him to a meal? What kind of thing is he even considered?”
“That’s right. In Towering Cloud City, the people who want to invite us to a meal can line up from the east of the city to the west of the city. And now, you actually treated him to a meal. This is really annoying the hell out of me.”
“What’s so great about him? And he dares to reject senior brother’s invitation. If it was me, I would have slapped him to the ground already. Let’s see how he can keep acting arrogant then.”
The two spoke back and forth in disdain.
They were the students of the Abyss Academy.
They were people with a super talent rating that gave them the capital to act haughty and proud. Except for the Misty Cloud Academy, they looked down on all other forces.
Yang Qi furrowed his brow and said unhappily, “You guys only see what’s in front of you and can’t see his potential at all. His talent is either hidden very deeply or hasn’t been tapped yet. Once it does explode out, those whatever super talent geniuses and those supreme innate geniuses of the Ancient World would all be a bunch of trash before him. You guys just wait and see!”
