Ricky And Oliver

Ethan turned back to the origin of the voice. He found a group of people wearing the uniform of the Sacred Wind Academy.

But Ethan found no trace of friendliness from these group of people. A smile hung up in his face. But even a dumb person like Ethan could see that this smile contains a hidden sense of mockery and contempt.

'Is this one of those arrogant bastard just like in the novels who is full of arrogance and court death for some silly reason?'

Ethan read countless Chinese novels in which these kind of characters pops out from time to time who had endless arrogance and end up dead in the hands of MC. Ethan felt that this new person is one of them.

Ethan looked at Jake's face. Sure enough, Jake now had a face full of twisted expression. Ethan was sure that the things were not looking good between them.

"What do you want, Ricky?" ,Jake asked while maintaining the same twisted expression.

"It's nothing. I was curious to see just how many people you have recruited since we left the academy. You see, I recruited around 200 people. And even among them, this younger brother named Oliver is my best find. His talent pool is amazing. He has Major Grade Spiritual Roots, Warrior Grade Physique and Major Grade Spirit." ,The man named Ricky said with arrogance filled smile on his face while pointing his finger at a 11 year old kid.

Sure enough, Jake was completely stunned. Ricky's luck was very good. He not only managed to recruit 200 people. But he found a very good talent as well.

Warrior Grade Physique. That was alright. But what about the Spiritual Roots and Spirit? They were actually at astonishingly at Major Grade!? This kind of talent should be in the Royal God Sect, right? What exactly is this kid with amazing talent doing here?

The average talent pool of the disciples of the Sacred Wind Academy is warrior Grade Spiritual Roots, Warrior Grade Physique and with no doubt, Mortal Grade Spirit.

Spirit Cultivators were very rare in the entire world. So they could be overlooked. But when Ricky managed to recruit a youngster with Major Grade Spirit, he knew that his enemy had hit a jackpot. This contribution is enough for him to live a comfortable life for around two years!

Jake gritted his teeth in anger and frustration. He and Ricky were from the same class. But they never got along together due to their same talent and achievements which further led to the differences between them.

"Well, how many people you have recruited?" ,Ricky asked. But while asking, he quickly pulled the goatskin paper from Jake's hands and took a glance at it.

Jake was stunned with Ricky's behaviour. But before he could erupt in anger, Ricky burst out in laughter.

He said, "Only one person! You managed to recruit only one person? And his age is not only at 23, he has Mortal Grade Spiritual Roots, Mortal Grade Physique and Mortal Grade Spirit! I mean no disrespect. But I have never seen this kind of shit like talent before. What a great find you have?"

"Just mind your own business." ,Jake said angrily while snatching back the goatskin paper from Ricky's hands.

He then looked at Ethan and said, "Let's go, Little Brother!"

"Oh? Is this the heaven defying genius that you have recruited?" ,Only now Ricky's eyes fell on Ethan. He was speechless to see this fatty whose body was drenching with pungent smell sweat.

Nothing was good about this person. He looked just like a Fool. And just now, Ricky read that the "talent" recruited by Jake was a 23 years old man. And this person's age fits the description perfectly.

"Indeed an Heaven Defying Genius!" ,Ricky commented with mockery filled tone, "This person's talent surpassed even my Oliver here! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Ricky smiled and left. This kind of victory was quite enjoyable for him. The thrill of victory was even more enjoyable when the one who lost is his bitter enemy.

Oliver gave a piteous look at Ethan. Ethan could tell that, that glare was filled with "What a pathetic looking person" look. He was even more arrogant than that Ricky. But since he was a new student, he didn't express his contempt for Ethan right away. Ethan was sure that if this Oliver was a senior student here, then he would have said whatever he wanted on everyone's face due to his high talent pool.

"Let us go, little brother. Don't take them to your heart. There is nothing but bunch of bullies." ,Jake tried to console Ethan for his humiliation.

"No. Actually I agree with them. Right now, my appearance and talent were not up to the mark. I know that in the world of cultivation, strength always have immense weight behind it. Since they are stronger than me, they have every right to comment whatever they want on me. If I want to give an appropriate response, first I need to have strength. So, unless I have enough strength, I won't find trouble for myself by going against them." ,Ethan replied nonchalantly.

Jack and others were surprised. This little brother of their has no talent. But he is actually matured enough. And he is calm which is more important.

But what Jake and others don't know is that, back on Earth, Ethan was always the subject of mockery no matter where he went. Since his childhood everyone made fun of him since he always messed up even the small things. Because of this, he was matured and started to not take these kind of mockeries to his heart. He practised to be alone.

"Let's go to you your dormitory." ,Jake said. Ethan also nodded his head and followed them.

Ethan followed Jake. They walked for a long time. Ethan had to climb a giant mountain. With his weak body, it is a miracle if he walked 500m before feeling tired. Needless to say, climbing a mountain.

But he didn't complain. As someone who is about to start cultivation journey, he knew that his life is literally going to be hell. So this little mountain climbing should not bother him that much.

As they climbed the mountain, Ethan could see small but tattered and almost broken houses on an open space. There was a giant ground which was filled with training materials and medicinal plants.

Ethan and Jake stopped in front of a broken house which looked quite empty. There was a number "96" hanged on the door. Ethan knew that this is his dormitory. He was given the dormitory room number 96 previously.

Ethan looked at the ground in front of his dormitory. Unlike other dormitories, it was empty. He knew that it should be him who will be looking after this ground from now on.

"This is your dormitory, little brother!" ,Jake finally said confirming Ethan's conjecture.
