Chapter 296: Chapter 191: Two Nameless Soldiers Become Madmen

Wu Yaizu quietly said, "Brother, that black-clad woman is looking at me again!"

Qin Ming also felt something and said, "I’ve told you before, it’s just your imagination. Do you know how to handle this situation? Just ignore her."

Wu Yaizu glanced at him and muttered, "Brother, I think you’ll be lonely forever!"

Then, he took a deep breath of fire mist and said, "Hiss, upon closer sense, I find she’s looking at your back instead? I take back what I said earlier."

Wu Yaizu became spirited, "Brother, do you know her but are purposely ignoring her? Is there some history between you two?"

Xiao Wu’s perception was truly exceptionally sharp; it was hard for anyone to notice the level of Master Wu and Tang Jin observing in secret.

"Let’s go!" Qin Ming hurriedly walked forward, fearing his nonsense. This kid, freshly out of the forbidden land, becomes especially eager when focused on something.

Wu Yaizu nodded, following along, "Isn’t this what my grandma said was the colorful world of the red dust? Gatherings and separations, a glance back, even in the vast sea of people, one can spot unchanged gazes from the past. Such encounters trump morning and night."

Qin Ming wanted to cover his mouth and quickly pulled him into the crowd.

He feared Tang Jin and Master Wu’s spiritual senses were too acute, able to extract their conversation from the surrounding noise.

"Can two young people have such extraordinary perception?" the Purple-eyed Crow said, then laughed heartily upon seemingly hearing something.

Nearby, Tang Jin, wrapped in wide black clothing accentuating her graceful figure, had a slightly darkened expression and whispered, "What are you laughing about? It’s so annoying!"

"Haha, also, it really is an unexpected encounter."

"Shut up!"

...

Under the night sky, Shanhai Academy was bustling, akin to a festival, with figures everywhere.

Qin Ming saw that "Yellow Ox Crow," who was just twenty-eight, and asked with a smile, "Senior, what are the ticket prices now?"

"Flying Dragon in the Sky!" Crow Sister stood on the treetop at the fork in the road, quite proud, but her business was indeed good, "You two can regret now; ticket prices have doubled."

"Really?" Wu Yaizu widened his eyes; if he’d known earlier, he would have stocked up some, and today their tuition could be covered by sales.

Crow Sister tossed them the back of her head, "Now it’s hard to get a ticket; even I can only provide a few through special channels to some VIP clients."

She was busy, surrounded by people buying tickets.

"You guys should think, it’s the pinnacle showdown between a closed-door disciple of a Quasi Ancestor Master and a genius sweeping the Eighty One Cities, creating a sensation in Kunling City, and everyone knows."

Wu Yaizu rubbed his hands, his eyes burning with excitement, "Crow Sister, I think you can also sell tickets to watch my duel with my brother."

Crow Sister rolled her eyes, "Tsk, you two nameless soldiers; even if you paid people to come, no one would watch."

Meanwhile, some ticket buyers nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, buddy, it’s not that I’m saying, even if you promoted for half a month, no one would care."

Wu Yaizu boasted half-truth, half-lies, "Buddy, not to brag, but tonight, the two household-name geniuses, I can pin them to the ground and punch them."

"Brother, you’re bold, daring to dream, okay, I’ll wait until the day I see you in the Nightly News."

"This boy sure is brazen with words, even more than my grandpa who brags when drunk while in a wheelchair!"

A group of people laughed.

Crow Sister said, "Or, you two bite the bullet and buy two tickets. Go in and see how strong the Young Master, who aims to test swords worldwide, really is. Let’s not talk about their Taoist path or talent; during this grand occasion, learn about their elegance and aura; it’s a form of improvement too."

Wu Yaizu said, "Am I crazy? Buy tickets to watch two people possibly weaker than me duel, impossible! Crow Sister, if you gave us two tickets, I might consider it."

Crow Sister said, "Then I’d surely be crazy!"

Not far away, a commotion arose; when several women passed by, many people discussed them; the leading woman seemed to have quite a background, and her silhouette was incredibly attractive.

Crow Sister whispered, "See that? That’s the most beautiful senior in our Shanhai Academy, Liu Hanyi, with astonishing talent, accumulating steadily. She’s already caught the attention of an Elder from Immortal Soil, with limitless prospects. Even she is attending this duel; when would you ever attract such an Immortal Fairy Level character’s attention, then I could sell tickets to watch you."

"It’s Liu Mingzhe and Tang Jun, who haven’t appeared for a long time, even they’re coming out to watch!"

"Wow, that’s Immortal Flower Luo Lianqing from Flying Immortal Academy next door, and the men and women beside her are quite significant, all with deep Taoist paths."

Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu stood at the intersection, listening with wide eyes to people’s discussions, learning about many celebrities.

Kunleng, essentially a city of academies, many notable disciples from various dojos and institutes had truly arrived, all being influential figures, sparking hot discussions.

Today, Shanhai Academy was truly packed.

Fire Spring snaked around, illuminating every corner of the academy, including Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu’s dormitory area, where the once dim woods now shone brightly.

The two roamed extensively in the academy, with their initial excitement gone and lacking tickets, they returned to their dwelling, only to find too many outsiders roaming, with nowhere quiet for them either.

"I think we shouldn’t be too low-key; we should find a new place to live.""

Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu both felt that the current living environment was rather poor, as anyone could come here, making it too noisy, and there were mosquitoes, although they couldn’t get close, the experience wasn’t great.

In contrast, the distant area where Fire Spring flowed, scenic like a painting, was much better, where outsiders weren’t allowed entry, extremely peaceful.

That place is mainly inhabited by disciples on the Immortal Road and Esoteric Buddhism, but others can also break in and take over.

"Let’s go!" The two were action-oriented, picked up their bags and left the place. They didn’t believe they would fail, no need to come back.

In front, numerous picturesque peaks were adorned with Fire Spring waterfalls. Colored Dragon Carp swam in the lakes of the open spaces, immortal fog flowed through the bamboo forests, old herbs sent forth their fragrance in the cliff area, and Purple Qi pervaded everywhere.

"The scenery is excellent, delightful to behold!"

The two were very satisfied and decided to move in here.

Night had fallen, making the place even more serene. Only the pleasant sound of bird songs was heard on the fiery tree vines, and a few Immortal Cranes strolled leisurely in the distant wetlands.

"You two, stop." Someone blocked them, immediately identifying that they were not students living here.

"We’re here to select a residence," Wu Yaizu said.

The person blocking them was speechless, these two were indeed confident, they had even brought their luggage. However, he did not make things difficult for them but asked them to register.

Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu marveled at the place; it truly was nice, with houses by the lake and residences built on Spirit Mountain, mostly occupied by well-known students of Shanhai Academy.

The two chose a suitable residence, not wanting to be too ostentatious. They decided to replace this year’s newcomers and move into their residence instead of competing with the older students.

As it turned out, they came at a very inopportune time.

Because today is a special day.

Almost all students went to watch the battle. Even without tickets, they wanted to feel the atmosphere outside and talk to others to find out the results immediately.

"Isn’t there more than half of the two hours left? Why so eager?" Wu Yaizu said displeased.

"Over there, by the lake, those two buildings still have people," Qin Ming looked ahead.

The person accompanying them, a senior student, showed a strange expression but quickly hid it without letting it show.

"Yes, the people living there are indeed newcomers this year, but their strength is quite strong."

"No problem, as long as the conditions meet our requirements, the rest doesn’t matter," Wu Yaizu said.

...

A moment later, a group of people rushed out of those two buildings, roughly numbering more than a dozen, all looking unkindly at the two who had interrupted them.

The senior student accompanying Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu seemed a bit regretful, bowed in apology, and said: "They insisted on coming."

A beautiful woman in yellow clothes chided: "Are you two joking around? Is it ignorance or stupidity? Do you know what this place is? How dare you come here to challenge!"

Wu Yaizu was displeased and said: "Junior sister, your words are really unpleasant, Xiao Wu is not happy. Let me ask, are the people living here newcomers this year? I currently only show respect to senior sisters and senior brothers, if they’re from the same cohort, who do I fear?!"

The group was initially angry but then laughed. However, their expressions were not friendly and they all spoke, mocking and derisively.

"You two must be crazy to seek fame, really, if you don’t act recklessly, you won’t die."

"Brother, you just came out of the mountains, right? Do you know the status of Shanhai Academy’s newcomers this year? And yet you dare to brag here!"

Wu Yaizu’s face darkened and said: "You folks really talk a lot, I truly don’t believe in malevolence. If the owners of these two buildings are here, then come accept the challenge according to the rules, hurry up, my brother and I are pressed for time, still waiting to move in!"

Immediately, the laughter on the opposite side ceased, and their expressions became cold again.

The yellow-clothed woman clenched her fist even tighter because it also included the building next to hers.

The senior student who had led them here wiped sweat from his brow, thinking that he had been reckless today and should have sent the two hotheads away, but it’s too late for regret.

A young man in white stepped out, dignified and smiling faintly, said: "It’s still early and idle anyway, perfect for warming up, having sparring partners should make one happy."

His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, handsome, eyes brilliant like stars, steady and self-assured, as if he was in control of everything, with hands behind his back, looking at Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu.

He slightly smiled and said: "You two can come at me together, as long as you can defeat me, the two houses will be yours to live in."

Wu Yaizu was displeased and said: "Brother, don’t be overly arrogant. Speaking this way sounds a bit crazy. Who in this world dares let the two of us join forces? Alas, be modest, let me narrow the scope, I mean the newcomers of our current cohort."

The group’s expressions nearly petrified!

"Where did these maniacs come from?!"

"Just two nameless soldiers dare to come here and cause trouble, I almost want to go and smack them away!"

Everyone here was dissatisfied.

Wu Yaizu was speechless, who was being arrogant, wasn’t it the people opposite who initially underestimated him and Brother Ming?

The uncommonly steady young man in white spoke: "Alright, one of you can come at me or both of you together can attack me, it’s your choice."

"To deal with you, no need for my brother to take action, I alone will suffice!" Wu Yaizu rubbed his hands, then he looked at the yellow-clothed woman and said: "By the way, junior sister, this also involves your residence, if necessary, you can team up with him to deal with me."

"Maniac!" The group was all furious.

Wu Yaizu felt aggrieved and displeased, wasn’t he just imitating the other’s way of speaking? Why was he being treated with such an attitude, nothing left to say, subdue the opponent!
