Chapter 57 (Edited)
Chapter 57 — I-I WILH RHemBar DIS!
The three elders quickly stood up from their respective seats and looked at the large door infront of them while feeling slightly nervous.
Under everyone's curious gazes, three figures walked in from the door.
The Otherworldly Academy group had met one of those figures before, it was that youth Yu Long had beaten violently yesterday.
Right now that youth stood on the left with an arrogant expression, his eyes revealing an intense resentment toward them.
Walking in the middle was a magnificently dressed old man who have a very arrogant expression and his eyes revealed that he looked down on everyone.
A slender yet muscular man was also at the old man's right side. He have an expressionless face with neat silky dark green hair and a pair of deep emerald eyes.
Seeing who they were, the three elders frowned and inwardly complained, "Why did they came here? I hope they won't drive these people out..."
"Lord Prince, what are you all doing here?" Meng Shenji asked politely.
Prince Xue Xing smiled faintly, giving Lou Shi's group a side-eye, "Isn't it obvious? It's too see the peasants that are gonna join our sacred Imperial Academy."
Meng Shenji furrowed his brows heavily. He felt Prince Xue Zing's true purpose was not entirely that.
He coughed and started to introduce the Otherworldly group, "Lord Prince, let me introduce them to you. This is Lou Shi, the Dean of the Otherworldly Academy."
The prince stared at Lou Shi's party, a hint of disgust and mockery were present within his small eyes, "Otherworldly Academy? I don't think I've ever heard of that. It should be some useless school. Meng Shenji, how could you allow people of such a very trashy origin into our Imperial Academy?"
Lou Shi frowned after hearing that. Her first impression for the prince reached the bottom.
Meng Shenji was starting to sweat, he quickly refuted politely, "Your Highness, such words can't be used on them. The Otherworldly Academy has already fostered many outstanding talented individuals that is infront of you."
The prince glanced at Yu Long and the others for moment before snorting coldly, "I think you're getting blind because of your old age, Meng Shenji. What talented individuals? In my own eyes, they're merely dogs who have slightly better than trash potential! We would be just wasting our precious resources and time on them!"
Meng Shenji felt his chest getting heavy, "Lord Prince, but—!" He got cut short by the prince.
"Xue Beng also told me that yesterday as these guests arrived at the Academy, they beat him up violently without any reason. They have insulted Xue Beng, the fourth imperial prince representing the entire dignity of our imperial family. How could I allow them to join?" The prince asked while smiling in a twisted way.
Xiao Yi, Fang Lin, Ji Yu, and Hu Yu were slowly getting pissed by the amount of ridicule the prince were constantly spouting toward them.
Meng Shenji wanted to refute him, saying the prince was the one getting blind due to his old age, but he couldn't afford to offend him.
Yu Long gripped his fist tightly, and he glared intently at the prince. He couldn't take this anymore.
"If we are just some dogs who have to trash potential, then you can just say that every single student on this academy are less than a piece of shit!"
Prince Xue Xing glared at Yu Long, a massive amount of bloodlust exploding out from him, "It seems like you are all just like I expected. A bunch of ignorant fools who can't understand a thing. We don't like people like you in our sacred academy."
"Then how does your highnes want to settle this matter? Do you know the reason behind Prince Xue Beng getting beaten up and also about our talent?" Lou Shi asked with a calm expression, but veins were popping from her throat.
Prince Xue Xing smiled wickedly, his gaze swept across Lou Shi and Yu Long's group.
He snorted coldly, "...You can try proving to me that you're indeed people of great talent and not entirely compose of useless trashes."
Lou Shi forcefully swallowed her anger and asked, "Fine, how can we prove it to you, Lord Prince?"
Prince Xue Xing smiled calmly and said while chuckling, "Very, very simple. You guys only have to hold out against Mister Dugu Bo for a short five minutes and I will at once, recognize you all as precious talents. If not, just like what Xue Beng had said yesterday, immediately scram from here."
After hearing this words, everyone looked at the slender man with dark green hair, who slowly opened his eyes, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.
Yu Long and the others felt a very strong spirit pressure descending upon them. Yu Long could still manage, But Xiao Yi and the others couldn't handle it.
The green-haired man looked at them, "Use strength to prove yourselves! Come at me together."
While speaking coldly, a layer of intense green light suddenly released from his body. After that, several spirit rings rose from below him one after another.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Altogether, nine spirit rings spiralled up from his body, their brilliant light causing the entire room to brighten.
Yu Long was shocked seeing the slender man's spirit rings. It wasn't only him, the three elders, Lou Shi, as well as his friends were surprised to their core.
Lou Shi clicked her tongue in anger, her eyes glimmer coldly as the spirit power suppresion of Dugu Bo started to lessen, making Fang Lin and the others condition to become normal.
"Fuck all of this! This noble bullshit is making my head go crazy.... I wish my husband was here to solve everything..." Lou Shi muttered heavily, black mist slowly rose from her skin.
Dugu bo widened his eyes as he suddenly felt his whole body becoming nervous infront of Lou Shi.
"Fuck, I don't care anymore. You guys crossed the limit and even bullied my students..." Her bone-chilling voice echoed throughout the room.
"Come and heed my call—Hyakki!" Lou Shi chanted solemnly, a crystal sword appeared infront of her and she grabbed it's hilt.
The room was instantly filled with many ear-piercing wails and the temperature was dropping even further.
Xue Xing, Xue Beng, and Dugu Bo felt their body instantly being drenched in cold sweats.
Yu Long saw the current situation was going very badly and he have to stop this before anything goes wrong.
"Master, you don't need to fight. It's fine even if we can't join this academy and was humiliated badly. You don't need to risk yourself just for those small things," Yu Long said while smiling.
Lou Shi turned her head around and saw Xiao Yi, Fang Lin, Ji Yu and Hu Yu still smiling despite all of this.
She recalled her spirit and nodded her head with a smile.
They were right. Even if they couldn't join this academy, nothing would change to their life. Getting angry won't do or solve anything, but rather make things worse.
Dugu Bo and Xue Xing couldn't help, but heaved in relief after seeing Lou Shi not trying to fight anymore.
Lou Shi looked at the three seniors, "I'm sorry seniors. We'll have to leave now and you don't need to take any action to defend us. I'm sure we'll meet again someday."
After saying those words, Lou Shi walked toward the door and silently left the place.
Xiao Yi, Fang Lin, Ji Yu and Hu Yu also started to leave this room, while still feeling indignant and furious at the discrimination they faced.
Yu Long was the last one to leave this place, but before going out, he looked toward Dugu Bo and the two prince.
"I will repay all of the humiliation we felt today in the future.... and that day won't be too long," Yu Long's crimson eyes shone menacingly.
A pair of frightening crimson eyes suddenly opened from behind him, staring furiously at them.
Dugu Bo was about to laugh after hearing those words, but after seeing those terrifying crimson eyes behind Yu Long, he swallowed it back nervously.
He looked at his arms and saw every hair on it were all standing...
