Chapter 30: Outer Disciple

After a zapp, we were suddenly standing in front of a colossal gate. It took Ouyang Luoshuang only an instant to cover the 'Immeasurable' distance. But I saw no signs of her anymore.

Since she had left, I focused on the gate which made many open their mouth in awe. The golden grand door was spread across kilometres and its height was around five hundred meters.

Suddenly the door creaked open, and waves of extremely dense Qi bombarded against us. Every pore in my body opened itself to take the Pure Qi. My mind which was definitely tired after two weeks of little to no sleep also felt refreshed.

Once we entered inside, many workers and disciples curiously looked at us while some ignored our existence.

"As you may know, Heavenly Academy is split in two sections: Mortal and Immortal. The outer area is for Mortal and the inner area is reserved for Immortal disciples.

In Mortal Section, there are 1,000 elders, 100 great elders. Mortal Section itself is split into three parts. Outer, Inner and Core. The cultivation of Outer disciples lies between Body Refinement to 10th Level of Qi Assimilation; for Inner, it is between 1st Level of Qi Master to 10th Level of Golden Core Realm. There can only be 100 core disciples at one time and they all are at Nascent Soul Realm. You will know more about these things as you spend your time here.

Now, you will be assigned your new residence in few minutes. Until then you are free to roam around."

Seeing this was as good as any chance, I decided to find Xiurong. But to my disappointment, even after fifteen minutes when my residence was already assigned, I couldn't find her.

"Did you have a fight?" Qinlian who was tagging along with me to find Xiurong, asked.

I gave a dejected smile. "Something like that. But since we can't find her, nothing we can do about it."

She examined my face and then nodded. Probably she understood that I didn't want to talk about it.

Unfortunately, Qinlian's residence was pretty far away from mine so I had to part with her. And worse of all, because of all the people around us, I couldn't even kiss her goodbye. Dispirited, I went to my new stay with my lonely self.

...

The Following Day.

As much as I wanted to have a cute girl as a neighbour and then maybe do some indecent things using my overpowered abilities but it seems like my protagonist luck was on short supply.

Studying inside outer sect was pretty different from what I was used to. After talking with some people on the way, I found out that there's no routine classes. Disciples are given pretty much complete freedom. Of course, like the earthling I was, when I found out, I rejoiced.

"Hey, is that?"

"Yeah, they guy who ranked first in this year's examination."

"A 10th Level Qi Assimilation expert under 17, he may be even better than Chen Fei."

"I don't think so. Even though their cultivation is same, their combat experience is probably completely different."

I honestly didn't even want to know who this Chen Fei was. Just from the cliche setting, I can tell he will be a arrogant prick who would simply bother me. Yep, let's just forget about it.

...

"So, you are Xiao Bai?"

The moment I entered the classroom, I heard a man's voice. Raising my eyebrows, I glanced at him briefly before looking around in the classroom.

Tsk! Why are there no familiar people?

"You are ignoring me?" Rather than anger, his voice contained amusement.

"What do you want?" Picking an open seat, I sat down.

"I am called Chen Fei and I will advice you against seating there." Chen Fei gave a mysterious laugh.

"Ooh! Why is it so?" I asked curiously.

"Because I sit there." Before he could reply, I heard an displeased voice. Turning around at front, I saw a girl with scarlet hair looking me with an angry look.

My eyes scanned her figure instantly. She was dressed in bright red trousers and matching top. Her shoulder was bare and you could see hints of her average-sized breast. Below the corner of her lips was a small mole which enhanced her looks. Interestingly enough, her eyebrows were also of scarlet colour.

"How do I look?" I heard her exasperated voice.

"Pretty decent, but if you were to pose for me, I would say it would take your beauty to another level." She was your typical fiery beauty and I enjoyed taking liberties with her.

"You want me to pose for you?" Her delicate body trembled with anger. I can already tell she wasn't used to a shameless man like me.

"That would be nice." I said shamelessly, even looking forward to it.

She was about to jump up and down on her feet at my gall. Suddenly, she took a deep breath as her breast heaved up and down and then said, "why don't we go to fighting arena, I will show you all the poses you want."

Jumping up promptly, I asked seriously, "are you for real?"

"No!" Already understanding she can't win against me in shamelessness, she was about to settle her butt on the seat but I was a second faster and sat down, my shoulders even 'accidentally' brushed her marvellous rump.

Her anger reached a new level, passing the glaring and entering the face twitching stage as I nonchalantly smiled back.

Harrumphing loudly, she sat on my front seat. Seems like she didn't let the anger grow her senseless.

"Who is that girl?" I inquired Chen Fei who was laughing while hiding his mouth.

"Haha... she is Nanfeng Jiao, someone who was in the same place as you last year."

"She also placed first in examination? Then how come she is only a 10th Level of Qi Assimilation?" If she won last year, that means she must at least have been in late Qi Assimilation Realm. A year later, she is only at 10th Level?
