An Academy Life: 7/*unedited*/
"That is enough Teacher Feng!" the beautiful woman said while showing a stern and serious look at Cong Feng.
"Teacher Ouyang, please don"t block me. This student should be taught harshly. He dared kill our students, he must be punished." Cong Feng shouted.
"That"s right teacher, we should kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d." Shouted Bushan Deng with gritted teeth.
He had suffered great humiliation from s.h.i.+n Jiao"s hands so he didn"t want to miss the opportunity to kill his opponent with borrowed hands.
"Are you two done? Do you know the rules in the academy right? We have to investigate first before anything else." The woman named teacher Ouyang said as she waved her hand.
s.h.i.+n Jiao on the other hand just watches the show in front of him. He didn"t want to waste his saliva to these people. If the woman wanted to s.h.i.+eld him, then so be it. But if they wanted to use their superiority to bully him, then he would act on his own and fight back.
Suddenly from the corner of his eyes, he saw something changing from the two corpses on the ground. Using his spiritual sense, s.h.i.+n Jiao saw the two students who masked themselves as humans slowly change into their real beast-man form. A smirk suddenly appears on his face as his attention was drawn back to the people arguing.
"We can clearly see that he killed his seniors, what is there to investigate Teacher Ouyang?" Cong Feng asked with anger in his eyes.
He wanted to attack s.h.i.+n Jiao as he has already felt his pride being insulted. He attacked him more than once but still unable to catch a mere gold core realm cultivator. So to preserve his pride, he needed to beat that brat up whether he is guilty or not.
"Miss Ouyang…" s.h.i.+n Jiao suddenly said.
"I think the school should check their students before accepting them…" he added.
His words suddenly caught the group arguing off guard. They never expected that s.h.i.+n Jiao would say such things. But before they can reach, s.h.i.+n Jiao pointed his finger towards the two corpses.
"I guess beast-men are being accepted and trained in this academy too right?" s.h.i.+n Jiao said with a smile.
It is known that the beast clan is desperate to learn the tactics of the humans. Although they are numerous than humans, they would still lose any fight when humans use tactics and formations. So, many of the beast-men would infiltrate human schools and learn their secrets. But for the prestigious academy to be infiltrated by beast-men is a shame that they can never remove. It would be tarnished to their reputation as an academy that teaches war tactics.
"How dare you say…" Cong Feng suddenly shouted but stopped as he saw s.h.i.+n Jiao pointing at the two corpses.
"This… how can this be? This is not possible! How can we not know that there are beast-men who have infiltrated the school?" Cong Feng muttered.
Even the woman called teacher Ouyang frown at the two figures slowly changing back to being beast-men.
"Ask those two as I think they are collaborating with this ambush." s.h.i.+n Jiao said.
"You…" Guxian Deng said while pointing at s.h.i.+n Jiao.
Right now he too was perplexed at the situation. Those two are his buddies since he started in the academy. He wanted to get his revenge for s.h.i.+n Jiao killing his two underlings.
"If I"m not mistaken those are your fellow cla.s.smates and followers right, student Guxian Deng." Teacher Ouyang said with suspicion in her eyes.
"Teacher… No this is a misunderstanding… I…" Guxian Deng shouted as he tried to explain himself.
But suddenly his body froze as he found himself unable to move anymore. The woman called teacher Ouyang has locked him in place with her spiritual aura.
"You too follow me." She said while pointing at Bushan Deng.
She has already found the two brothers a little suspicious of the exchange before. She can clearly see that the two have made this attack on a new student. She is not a fool and is considered a very intelligent prodigy. So from what she observed, the four students wanted to ambush the new student. If he is weak then that new student would have fallen to the hands of his four a.s.sailants.
But what she didn"t expect is to discover two spies from the beast clan.
"We need to inform the academy princ.i.p.al about this." She thought as she slowly walks away with the two students in tow.
She didn"t even bother to look at s.h.i.+n Jiao who just stood there. Her mind is focused on how she can solve this mystery on how the beast clan was able to infiltrate the academy without being found out.
But Cong Feng stood on the ground and look at s.h.i.+n Jiao with his poisonous eyes. He wanted to wait for the beautiful teacher Ouyang to leave before he would make his move.
"Teacher Feng are you not coming with me?" teacher Ouyang said coldly.
"Umm…" Cong Feng was stunned and didn"t have a choice but to follow her.
Thought his heart and footsteps are heavy as he really wanted to destroy s.h.i.+n Jiao, but now he remembers that the student has not made any offense and that if he tried to attack him, then he would be the one to suffer the consequences. So, he reluctantly followed behind teacher Ouyang.
As the four figures walk away from that place, s.h.i.+n Jiao felt a little relaxed.
"d.a.m.n it. This will give me more trouble. I need to find a way to learn what I can from this academy and leave this place soon." s.h.i.+n Jiao thought.
…
The next day…
The sun is already high up in the sky when s.h.i.+n Jiao opens his eyes and stopped meditating. He has absorbed more than 20 spiritual stones to further enhance his cultivation but he truly found it a little too hard. The amount he absorbs is like a drop of water in a wide lake.
"I guess I just have to push through with this for now… I can only persevere until I can fill another sphere in my mind dantian. That way I can gauge my cultivation improvement." s.h.i.+n Jiao thought.
"Today my goal is to learn some martial technique… since the cla.s.srooms have no regular teachers, then I must go to the library." s.h.i.+n Jiao thought as he walks out of his room after cleaning himself up.
He has noticed that, after cultivating to the gold core realm, he rare crave for food as it is not necessary anymore. As his Qi absorption increases, his need for food decreases. Though eating would still be beneficial, only if he eats those beasts in the forest.
He then walks to the nearest library and found that it was not a simple library. The place is huge and the collection of martial techniques is wide, from fist techniques, weapons techniques, and Qi and mental techniques.
When he saw the collection he felt really ecstatic. He knows that with this he can absorb enough knowledge to learn how to advance his cultivation at the same time strengthen his fighting prowess.
So with that, he began to spend his time in the library.
A couple of days have pa.s.sed and s.h.i.+n Jiao has already stayed in the academy for about a week. And his days are spent in the library reading books and learning a martial variety of martial techniques. Unknown to him, the elder in charge of the library became fascinated with his reading speed. The elder also saw that s.h.i.+n Jiao is not merely reading but also absorbing the things written in the books. He especially noticed that s.h.i.+n Jiao"s hands would move unconsciously according to what he is reading.
When the sun has already set, s.h.i.+n Jiao was about to leave the library when a beautiful woman approached him.
"Student s.h.i.+n Jiao… wait!" the beautiful woman called out.
When s.h.i.+n Jiao turns his head he saw the beautiful teacher he had met when he was ambushed a few days ago.
"Teacher Ouyang… how may I help you?" s.h.i.+n Jiao greeted with a light bow.
"Oh, you remember my name. Well, I am Loulou Ouyang. I teach in Formation and alchemy cla.s.ses." Loulou Ouyang said as she introduced herself to s.h.i.+n Jiao.
"I wanted to find you for a couple of days as the Princ.i.p.al of the academy wanted to ask you something… Would it be alright for you to follow me in his office?" she added.
When s.h.i.+n Jiao heard what she said, he felt a little concerned but didn"t worry too much. He can already guess what they needed from him.
"No worries, teacher Ouyang. I"ll follow, lead the way." s.h.i.+n Jiao said politely.
The two went straight to the Academy"s princ.i.p.al"s office. On the way, s.h.i.+n Jiao can feel a cold gaze behind him. So he extended his absolute sense so as not to alarm the person looking at him.
"That teacher… is he really bent on taking his frustrations on me?" s.h.i.+n Jiao thought as he can see the figure of Cong Feng from a corner.
But he didn"t mind him as he knows that in this academy it would be hard for him to do something to the teacher without any consequence. But if he really pushes him to the limit, then s.h.i.+n Jiao would not face him head-on, but instead a.s.sa.s.sinating him in the dark would be his best option.
While thinking, s.h.i.+n Jiao found himself in front of a tall brown door made of st.u.r.dy wood.
He is now standing in front of the Academy Princ.i.p.al"s office, the most powerful cultivator in the academy and the head of all the teachers.
