"I don"t see any benefits in me joining, so why should I?" Xiao Yang was confident in winning the game but he wasn"t going to do something time-wasting that doesn"t even benefit him.Prince Xia smiled then said, "If you win then I will hand over my an Cla.s.s King Tier weapon, and Qian Ching will have to get on his knees and bark like a dog."
"But Prince..." Qian Ching was about to ask something but Prince Xia cut him off and said, "Don"t worry I am confident in my own skills."
He then looked towards Xiao Yang again then asked, "How about it? You even benefit more than us if you win."
The crowds were all excited after hearing that an Cla.s.s King Tier weapon is on the state, but then again they didn"t believe Xiao Yang was going to win anyway.
"Did you hear that? Prince Xia is willing to give up his Cla.s.s King Tier weapon!"
"Yeah, not only is it Cla.s.s but it"s also a King-Tier. It could even be on par with some of the regular Tier S-Cla.s.s weapons."
"It sounds good, but then again there is no way that he could win it."
"That is true, Prince Xia is known as the King of Gambling"
Many people didn"t believe Xiao Yang would win that game, but they are certain that he will not be able to resist such an offer. An Cla.s.s King Tier Weapon would have been treasured as a family heirloom even among the richest and most influential n.o.bles, let alone a commoner.
"So how is it? Will, you dare to challenge his highness in a bet?" Qian Ching sneered, he then thought to himself, "Hha! I"m looking forward to seeing you bark like a dog"
Xiao Yang smiled then replied with only one word, "No, I have don"t want to waste my time playing around with some kids."
"That"s right, I knew you can"t resi... Wait what?" Qian Ching wasn"t expecting Xiao Yang to turn down such an opportunity.
"No, I can not just let him leave like that", Qian Ching then shouted, "Xiao Yang! Are you scared is that what are?"
"That"s right, Xiao Yang if you truly are afraid then hand over the elemental core and I will be benevolent enough to forget about your insults." Prince Xia was angered by Xiao Yang"s attempt to embarra.s.s him by calling him a kid, "How dare he look down on me! Don"t think of leaving so easily."
"Why should I hand it over? The item is rightfully mine." Xiao Yang replied, he then held onto his mum"s hand and started to walk past them.
They tried blocking him, but Xiao Yang quickly exerted his martial aura to an even higher level than before and everyone who was in the room including those that didn"t fall down before, all fell on to their knees. They even had to use their hands to support themselves.
"Why does he have such a dominating aura?" Prince Xia and the others thought to themselves, they tried to resist it but the attempts proved futile.
Prince Xia and Qian Ching were unable to get up, all they could do is watched as Xiao Yang slowly makes his way out of the pavilion with his elemental core still in hand.
"Ahhh! Chen Xiao Yang, just you wait!" Prince Xia was screamed like a banshee, but Xiao Yang had already left the pavilion with his mum by now.
On there way home, Qian Xian was looking at Xiao Yang worriedly and asked, "Xiao Yang, you shouldn"t have offended him. You never know what he might do to you in the future."
"Mum nothing will happen. There is no way that he could harm me, even if he tried." Xiao Yang rea.s.sured her.
Qian Xian silently shocked her head and thought, "He really is arrogant and naive like him."
"Mum this Cla.s.s Elemental Core should be able to get you up to a B-Cla.s.s Elemental Mage." Xiao Yang handed the elemental core to her.
Qian Xian felt conflicted, she is happy that her son did all this just for her, but she is still worried that harm will get to him, "Xiao Yang, you really shouldn"t have done that. It was not worth it."
"Everything is worth it for you, mum." Xiao Yang shyly said. Never in 8000 years had he said anything similar to what he just said.
In his previous life, Xiao Yang was an orphan and he never had the chance to feel what it was like to have a mother. Now that he has a loving mother in his second life, Xiao Yang felt the urge and responsibility to protect her.
...
Next day Xiao Yang and the others all met up at the a.s.sembly ground of Thunderbolt Academy, many people were there but none of them knows each other. Except for the people that came with Xiao Yang, everyone else either got first place in the Youth Tournament or they are the direct Descendents of the royal families.
If news spread out that five students were enrolled in the academy from the same city this year would ultimately become shocking news and a controversial topic, but so far none of them revealed the truth, none of them wanted to reveal their rank in the Youth Tournament.
"Xiao Yang, do you think we will be able to reach the 6th-floor of the Martial Tower?" Qian Fei asked.
"Martial Tower?" Xiao Yang didn"t understand what she was referring.
Qian Fei looked surprised, then said, "Xiao Yang didn"t you know that Thunderbolt Academy has it"s very own library? The library is a large tower called Martial Tower."
Qian Fei then explained, "The lowest cla.s.s techniques are stored on the first floor and the powerful S-Cla.s.s techniques are stored on the 6th floor, but the higher the floor you are on the more pressure you will experience."
"That"s right the higher the floor the heavier the pressure you will experience, one must have a strong martial aura to be able to withstand it." Fang Qiong said, seeing that Xiao Yang really didn"t know anything about the Martial Tower.
"There"s no point, I already know a lot of martial techniques." Xiao Yang was completely uninterested in going to the Martial Tower. A mighty SSS-Cla.s.s technique wouldn"t even catch his eye, let alone a mere S-Cla.s.s.
It would also be a ha.s.sle to return the technique back after the time limit expires, Xiao Yang would rather use the time to continue to practice and consume the ten C-Cla.s.s Elemental Potion that he got from the Youth Tournament.
Five powerful S-Cla.s.s mages momentarily arrived at the a.s.sembly hall, everyone who was chatting all stop and turned their gazes towards the five powerful mages.
