Feng Yan really did have his ways—to actually manage to procure a place of enrollment into Hu Yang Academy for his brother. Most likely, he was the same as Ling Dong Xing, and made some kind of deal with the Academy. Otherwise, no matter how much of a genius you were, it was impossible for the Academy to place so much importance on you that they’d freely gift you a place of enrollment into the Academy.
Ling Han laughed in spite of himself, and said, “Idiots who dare to threaten me this way have never had good endings!”
“What big talk!” The young man beside Feng Luo said. His face was filled with arrogance exceeding even Feng Luo’s, his nostrils raised so high they were about to point skywards. “I have seen quite a number of arrogant people in this imperial city, but someone like you… tsk, tsk, tsk, this is the first time.”
“Hehe, Ling Han, do you know who this is?” Feng Luo asked proudly, and pointing at his companion, said, “This is Wei He Le, Young Master Wei! A rising star of the Hu Yang Academy, who would one day definitely become a Black Grade alchemist.”
“So that is Wei He Le!” Jin Wuji gasped in surprise.
“Is he very strong?” Baili Teng Yun asked, “But he’s only in the first layer of Element Gathering Tier, right?”
The first layer of Element Gathering Tier… even if he was a freak like Ling Han, it was absolutely useless. Against an opponent of the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, the only result would be being single-handedly dominated by his much stronger opponent. Baili Teng Yun had just entered the Hu Yang Academy, so he did not know that there was an Alchemy Department and was unable to make head or tail of Jin Wuji’s reaction.
“He is extremely talented in the field of alchemy, and is already a Yellow Grade high level alchemist. Some say that even the Headmaster of the Alchemy Department has the intention to take him in as his personal disciple,” Jin Wuji said in awe. When he saw the incomprehension still on Baili Teng Yun and Li Dong Yue’s faces, he continued to explain, and said, “The Hu Yang Academy is actually divided into two, which are the Martial Arts Department and the Alchemy Department. The Headmaster of the Alchemy Department is a Black Grade high level alchemist!”
“Hiss!”
At this moment, Baili Teng Yun and Li Dong Yue took a sharp breath as they finally came to understand the background of Wei He Le. Black Grade high level alchemist, even if Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan saw him, they would still have to treat him with utmost respect and address him as Grandmaster.
“Hahahaha!” Wei He Le laughed loudly. He hadn’t said anything just now to give them a chance to understand fully his background, which would allow him to show off to the greatest level. He regarded them with disdain and said, “I don’t care what kind of grudges you guys have with Young Master Luo, but since I have seen it today, then I’ll act as the mediator.”
He paused for a moment, then said to Ling Han in a deep voice, “Kneel down, and lick Young Master Luo’s shoes clean!”
Feng Luo was extremely proud of himself. Today, with Wei He Le’s support, if Ling Han did not submit, that would mean opposing Wei He Le. Who was Wei He Le? He was a Yellow Grade high level alchemist, and could even possibly be taken by Wu Song Lin as disciple, with endless future prospects ahead of him.
Anyone with a working brain would definitely not dare to go against Wei He Le.
Today, he would be getting his payback, with interest.

Qi Yong Ye and the others looked absolutely furious at this.
Asking him to kneel down and lick another’s shoes, what kind of great humiliation was that? If this Wei He Le was in Gushing Spring Tier, or a Black Grade alchemist, then perhaps he would be qualified to make such unreasonable demands. But he was only a Yellow Grade low level alchemist, a martial artist at the mere level of first layer of Element Gathering Tier; how did he get the confidence to talk so big?
The people who were born in the imperial city truly acted like they were superior to anyone and everyone else.
“You’ve gone too far!” Jin Wuji shouted immediately, “Wei He Le, you’re only a mere Yellow Grade low level alchemist now, don’t you think you’re talking too big?”
“You dare to go against me?” Wei He Le smiled coldly, looking extremely confident in himself.
Indeed, he was only a Yellow Grade low level alchemist now, but his future prospects were limitless. Otherwise, why would Feng Luo go out of his way to deliberately befriend him? Of course, the reason why he had befriended Feng Luo was also because of Feng Yan. If not for Feng Yan, how would he have taken a mere martial artist of Element Gathering Tier seriously?
He possessed remarkable potential in the path of alchemy, while Feng Yan could possibly become a ruler in the field of martial arts. In this world, the strongest ruled after all. No matter how awesome an alchemist grew to be, he would still need the help of a powerful warrior proficient in martial arts.
Jin Wuji instantly felt the urge to hit someone. Wei He Le was only in the first layer of Element Gathering Tier, and from the looks of it, he had only managed to climb to this cultivation level with the help of alchemical pills. Jin Wuji would be able to easily dominate him with one hand behind his back. Furthermore, his status as a mere Yellow Grade low level alchemist did not worry him at all, as there was no way that there would come a day that Jin Wuji would make any requests of an alchemist of this lowly rank.
The problem was that there was a high chance that Wei He Le may be taken in as disciple by Wu Song Lin, and Wu Song Lin was a Black Grade high level alchemist! Previously, they had all done Ling Han a favor by throwing their respective matches in Da Yuan City because there stood two Black Grade low level alchemists behind him; however, Wu Song Lin was a much grander figure then those two, so the pressure they felt was obvious.
Jin Wuji’s expression turned dark and cold, yet he did not open his mouth to speak.
“What right do you have to be so arrogant!” Baili Teng Yun was in the prime of his youth, and so was easily moved by his emotions. He was also aware that he was a citizen of Da Yuan City, so even if this Wei He Le would one day become a Black Grade alchemist, it would not affect him whatsoever. As a result, he naturally held no fear of offending Wei He Le.
Wei He Le could not help showing displeasure at this, and said, “Are you challenging me?”
“So what if I am? Do you dare to battle with me?” Baili Teng Yun said arrogantly.
“Young Master Wei!” It was at this moment that another three young men joined them. These three newcomers all had a powerful aura radiating from them; they had all reached the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier.
“So it’s you guys,” Wei He Le spared a glance at them, and a faint, perfunctory smile appeared on his face.
“Young Master Wei, have you encountered some kind of trouble?” One of them said with a smile. The speaker was dressed in green battle robes, and was quite tall.
Wei He Le revealed a disdainful smile, pointed at Baili Teng Yun, and said, “This guy says he wants to challenge me.”
“Hahahaha, where did this idiot come from, to actually dare to challenge Young Master Wei?” The green-clad man laughed loudly. He crooked a finger in Baili Teng Yun’s direction, and said, “Come, come, come. I shall be your opponent.”
How could Baili Teng Yun not react to such provocation? He was just about to agree when Qi Yong Ye held him back and said, “Wen Hai Xing, when did you become so immature? An elite ranked among the top hundred actually intends to bully a junior that had just barely enrolled in the Academy!”
“So it’s the King of Eternal Night!” The green-clad man behaved as if he had just noticed Qi Yong Ye—he raised his clasped hands in the latter’s direction, and said, “No wonder you dare to oppose Young Master Wei. The Fourth Prince of Da Yuan City is indeed domineering!”
His words appeared to be praising Qi Yong Ye, but in reality, they were an attempt to direct aggression to the latter.
<
br /> Wei He Le’s expression immediately darkened, and he said, “So you are a noble. No wonder you are so arrogant!” Since he was a child, he had already displayed outstanding talent in the field of alchemy. Everyone in his age range tried to curry his favor in order to form an amicable relationship with the great alchemist-to-be he was. Wen Hai Xing’s words naturally caused him to feel very displeased about Qi Yong Ye’s actions.
“Ling Han, are you going to kneel or not?” Feng Luo interrupted. The person he hated the most was naturally Ling Han, and Qi Yong Ye was the Fourth Prince of Da Yuan City, and was highly likely to inherit the position of Da Yuan King in the future, so naturally Feng Luo was not willing to offend him.
“So this is the younger brother of Elder Brother Disciple Feng Yan,” when Wen Hai Xing and his companions found out Feng Luo’s identity, they all smiled immediately. Though they themselves looked down upon Feng Luo, they dared not show any disdain towards him in public. Feng Yan was too strong, and according to rumors, had the ability to challenge and join the ranks of the Core Disciples.
One of them immediately looked towards Ling Han, and said, “Brat, I, Shen Yu Xuan, am just going to say this now. If you are unable to make Younger Brother Disciple Feng Luo satisfied, then you will only be sent back to the Academy on a stretcher!”
“I, Mi Zhong Guang, am the same!” The third person said.
Feng Luo was extremely proud. He laughed loudly, and said, “Ling Han, do you still dare to be so unreasonable with me?! Who do you think you are, to dare to put on airs in front of me? You’ve humiliated me repeatedly. Who do you think I am? One single finger of mine is more precious than the whole you by ten thousandfold!”
Wei He Le and the others smiled coldly. A mere foreign new student would naturally not be taken seriously by them. The only people they would have misgivings about going against were only the direct heirs of the Eight Great Clans.
Outside the entrance, the four guards of the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion looked on with indifference. As long as no one was making trouble in the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion, then even if the sky collapsed, they would not interfere.
“Kneel!” Feng Luo roared loudly.
“Kneel your sister!” Ling Han reached out with his hand, which sped towards Feng Luo.
“How dare you!” Wen Hai Xing, Mi Zhong Guang, and Shen Yu Xuan all acted at the same time. They were all in the ninth layer of Element Gathering Tier, and were extremely strong. None of them was inferior to Qi Yong Ye. The simultaneous movement of all three was terrifyingly powerful.
“Get out of my way!” Ling Han, using the Exiting Cloud Steps, actually managed to squeeze past the restraining movements of all three of them.
Wen Hai XIng and the others were all shocked. They’d noticed that Ling Han was only in the fifth layer of Element Gathering Tear, and so completely did not take him seriously. Who would have thought that Ling Han was actually so fast and had such a weird way of moving?
As a result, they had not used their full power, allowing Ling Han to easily break through their siege.
Ling Han had already appeared in front of Feng Luo, and his extended hand was already reaching towards the latter.
“You dare!” Wei He Le slanted his body to one side to stand in front of Feng Luo. He was well aware that he was a Yellow Grade low level alchemist, and was possibly the future disciple of the Headmaster of the Alchemy Department. So no matter how bold Ling Han was, he knew that Ling Han would not dare to touch a single hair on his head.
“Pa!”
However, his thoughts had just barely formed when a forceful slap from Ling Han smacked him out of the way.
Damn, this guy really dared to hit him?
Another slap from Ling Han caused Feng Luo to fall to the ground. Without waiting for him to get up, one of Ling Han’s feet stepped very firmly on Feng Luo’s face.
“Bastard, you actually dare to step on me? You are definitely tired of living, my brother will definitely kill you! Definitely!” Feng Luo wailed terribly while continuing to threaten Ling Han.
Indeed, only a profligate, spoiled young master like him dared to issue such threats in public. What kind of place was the imperial city? Here, murder was a heavily punished crime.
At the side, Wei He Le’s face was also filled with fury. He had actually been slapped away by someone? This was too insolent, too detestable! He will definitely not spare this reckless fool!
“Yi, Younger Brother Disciple Wei?” It was at this moment that a young man and woman walked over. When the maiden clearly saw Wei He Le’s face, she revealed a surprised expression.
“Elder Sister Disciple Li!” Wei He Le hurriedly got to his feet. His hands remained lowered at his sides, looking extremely respectful.
This young maiden was Li Si Chan.
In front of others, Wei He Le could put on an extremely arrogant attitude, but in front of Li Si Chan, he could only obediently withdraw all his prideful obnoxiousness, because Li Si Chan’s talent in alchemy was far above his own.
Wu Song Lin favored only his talent, but Li Si Chan was truly his most favorite disciple. Even if he really did become Wu Song Lin’s disciple, he’d still have to treat Li Si Chan with utmost respect.

The young man that had walked in together with Li Si Chan revealed an angered expression, “Who dares to be so bold as to disrespect an alchemist?”
“It’s He Jun Chen!” Qi Yong Ye’s brow immediately frowned, “A True Disciple, second layer of Gushing Spring Tier!”
He had not spoken in a low voice, as he was trying to forewarn Ling Han of this formidable newcomer.
Wei He Le, on the other hand, smiled. With an elite in the second layer of Gushing Spring Tier as his support, then no matter how strong Ling Han was, it wasn’t possible for him to turn this situation around. He said, “Big Brother He, this brat is too arrogant. He bullied Elder Brother Disciple Feng Yan’s younger brother, Feng Luo, first, and because I couldn’t simply do nothing, I said a few words of justice. And he reacted by slapping me down to the ground.”
“Oh, then I would really like to see, who is so awesome?” He Jun Chen said coldly.
“Ling Han!” Li Si Chan had finally spotted Ling Han now, and could not help but walk forwards a few steps. She said, “Where are you staying now? I’ve been looking for you everywhere!”
“Hiss!”
What was the relationship between these two people?
Hearing Li Si Chan’s words, everyone could not help but feel curious—could it be, that maybe they…?
He Jun Chen’s expression instantly darkened. He was one of Li Si Chan’s admirers, and now his dream girl actually uttered words with such ambiguous meaning, causing him to instantly feel as bad as if he had swallowed a fly.
“No, no, no, my Master is the one looking for you!” Li Si Chan hurriedly corrected her words, sensing the awkward ambiguousness of what she had said.
“Oh, what’s your Master looking for me for?” Ling Han asked very nonchalantly.
“Master would like to invite you to tea.”
“Pu,” practically everyone choked out of astonishment.
Who was Li Si Chan’s Master? Wu Song Lin! And who was Wu Song Lin? A Black Grade high level alchemist, the Headmaster of the Alchemy Department, and an ultra big, extremely important person that could practically cause the whole of Rain Country to tremble with a few stomps of his feet!
Such a major character actually wanted to invite Ling Han to tea!
Hiss, how many people were actually able to have the honor of having tea together with Wu Song Lin? The Clan Heads of the Eight Great Clans, the Pavilion Master of Heavens’s Medicine Pavilion, the Headmaster of the Martial Arts Department—probably just these few people, right? But this was Ling Han, an extremely minor character that had just enrolled into Hu Yang Academy! Could it be that he was able to stand on even footing with all these very important people of Rain Countr
y?
“I don’t have the time,” Ling Han said calmly.
“Pu!”
Instantly, everyone once again choked, all wearing expressions of extreme disbelief.
Wu Song Lin’s invitation to tea… most likely not even the Clan Heads of the Eight Great Clans dared to say they didn’t have the time, right? This brat was really too awesome, and he had even rejected the invitation so cleanly.
Qi Yong Ye, Baili Teng Yun, and the others all looked overjoyed. As their hearts beat wildly, they knew for sure that they had made the right gamble. But even they had never thought that Ling Han had just barely entered into the Hu Yang Academy yet had already formed relations with the Headmaster of the Alchemy Department, a Black Grade high level alchemist. Moreover, it seemed to be an extremely good relationship.
