Couples Dinner

Aristocratic Dining Hall.

The golden floorboards emitted a dazzling light that complemented the crystal chandeliers. Even the most ordinary tables and chairs were made of Phoebe Zhennan wood. It was dazzling and extravagant.

There were many luxurious dining halls like this at Jade Summit Academy. There were all kinds of exotic delicacies here, and the prices were outrageous. It was said that even an ordinary dish cost 100 gold soul coins.

This was a place for aristocratic students to pass time. It wasn't inferior to a five-star hotel in the outside world. Even some of the weaker aristocrats didn't dare to come here.

David immediately caught a whiff of the rich fragrance of roses when he walked into the dining hall. It was mixed with the intoxicating aroma of red wine that rushed into his body. He was intoxicated even though he hadn't drunk any wine yet.

Young men and women were in pairs. Most of them sat in pairs at a table, gazing at each other affectionately. They were all talking about love.

This kind of aristocratic dining hall wasn't just a place to pass time. It was also a good place for couples to go on dates!

When David and Syris walked into the restaurant together, it immediately caused quite a commotion in the surroundings. Numerous bewildered gazes gathered from all directions, and in the end, all of them gathered on Syris.

"Hey, isn't that Syris?!"

Beauties were always the center of attention. Furthermore, this was Syris, a prodigy who had reached Rank 30 at the age of fourteen. She was as dazzling as a comet in the academy. Who knew how many men dreamed of her?

"What's going on? Why is Syris here?!"

"Is she on a date?!"

"Damn it, who's that pretty boy next to her?!"

In an instant, many people locked their hostile gazes on David.

"Eh, I didn't expect you to be so popular."

David was a little surprised. He raised his hand and patted Syris's cute little head. Her silky silver hair immediately became messy.

When the crowd saw this, their eyes immediately spat fire. They all gnashed their teeth in jealousy, wanting nothing more than to rush up and tear David apart.

"Don't touch my head!" Syris angrily pushed away the bad hand that was rubbing her head.

Under countless jealous gazes, David led Syris to a round table and sat down. He picked up a menu from the table and looked at the dishes on it while muttering, "What should I eat?"

"David, why did you bring me to a place like this?" At this time, the silver-haired loli noticed that most of the people in the restaurant were couples. She immediately frowned and stared at David with vigilance.

"I'll slaughter you!"

David was very calm. He had finally found a stupid and cute little fat sheep. If he didn't take advantage of it, he would be letting his stomach down.

Normally, he would eat in commoner's restaurants that catered to ordinary workers. He rarely came to these aristocratic restaurants because he didn't have enough money.

Those days, he had run out of food and ammunition. Every day, he would just eat a few buns and make do. Most of his time was spent on cultivation. Now that his stomach was lacking oil, he could eat a big meal in an aristocratic restaurant to replenish his energy!

He didn't need to spend any money anyway.

"Red braised pork, soy-sauce duck, sweet and sour fish, and a roasted suckling pig …" David waved at the waiter beside him and said, "Be quick!"

"Yes, please wait a moment," the waiter said respectfully.

When the money was in place, the service was efficient. In less than three minutes, all the dishes were served.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, David's eyes lit up, and he happily ate.

"How long has it been since you last ate …"

The silver-haired little lolita blinked her eyes and sat obediently at the side. David's boorish manner of eating was just like a barbarian who had just walked out of the mountains. It was hard to describe with words.

"What a boorish fellow …"

At that time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old blonde boy walked over. He glanced indifferently at David who was eating and drinking, his face full of disdain.

"Syris, why are you with this kind of person!" He shifted his gaze slightly and placed his attention on Syris, who was standing at the side. A fiery light flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph!"

Syris snorted and ignored the blonde boy who had suddenly appeared. She moved to the right and suddenly hugged David's left arm.

Seeing this, the blonde boy's eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Why are you so close to me? You're disturbing me from eating …"

However, who would have thought that his disdainful action would fall into the blonde boy's eyes and make him even angrier?

He had asked Syris out more than ten times, but the latter had never paid any attention to him. However, this fellow in front of him, when Syris had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, he had actually pushed her away with a look of disdain. How hateful!

At that moment, his jealousy was bursting!

The blonde boy's face darkened, and he said unkindly, "Hey, kid, get up. I have something to say to you!"

"What is it?"

David raised his eyebrows and sat steadily on the chair. He pulled a napkin with one hand and slowly wiped the grease off his hands.

"Stay away from Syris in the future!" the blonde boy said coldly.

"Oh?" "What if I'm not willing?" David said calmly.

"Hmph, you will be willing!"

The blonde boy raised his head arrogantly and looked down at David. His handsome face was full of arrogance, and he said confidently, "After you hear my name!"

"I'm all ears," David said.

The blonde boy patted his sturdy chest and said loudly, word by word, "My name is … Cyan! Vert!"

"Pfft ~"

David was stunned and almost burst out laughing.

No wonder this person was so arrogant. Who knew how many heroes would be scared away by his name alone!

"Cyan Vert! That person is Cyan Vert! "

"What? Cyan, the number one in the Soul Micro level! "

"I heard that he had won nine consecutive championships in the Soul Micro level's single-elimination tournament. He's the most outstanding newcomer this year!"

At that moment, when they heard Cyan's name, the surrounding students were all shocked.

Among the new students, Cyan could be said to be one of the most outstanding. At such a young age, his soul power had already reached rank 24. It wouldn't be long before he could break through rank 25 and be promoted to a Soul's Peak level student!

Many people speculated that Cyan would be able to break through rank 30 before he turned 20 and be promoted to the highest level in the academy, the Soul's Dou level!

"I've heard a lot about you!" David tried to hold back his laughter. His expression was a little funny.

"It's good that you know my name ~" Cyan crossed his arms and looked proud.

"Forgive me for asking, but do you have a brother called Aschel Wood?" David joked.

"Eh, how did you know?" Cyan was surprised.

"Hahahaha …"

David laughed wildly. 

Cyan Vert and Aschel Wood, one younger brother and the other older brother, were famous in the academy.

One was the number one at the Soul Micro level, while the other was the number one at the Soul Peak level. They were both outstanding figures among their peers.

Unless there was a Soul Dou student above level 30, this academy would be the world of the two brothers.

"Brat, since you know my name, are you going to obediently leave Syris's side, or do you want me to throw you out?"

Cyan looked arrogant as he glanced at David indifferently. He did not care about this pretty boy who was better looking than him.

He knew all the strong people in the academy, but he had never seen David before. In his opinion, David had seduced Syris with that pretty boy!

Cyan had nothing to fear from this guy who lived off a woman!

David smiled and said calmly, "Activate your martial soul!"

"Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for being rude!"

Cyan's expression turned cold. Golden soulforce rose from the surface of his body. He shouted loudly, and the entire restaurant shook. A scarlet-golden mountain axe appeared in his hand.

Following that, his yellow and yellow soul rings rose, and the aura of a Soul Grandmaster spread out!

"Brat, eat my axe!"

Cyan's body shone with golden light as he raised his mountain axe. He brought a strong gust of wind with him as he chopped down at David's head!

"Sword Drawing Technique!"

David's eyes shone brightly as he grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand and pulled it out.

The Shadowless Blade broke free from its scabbard and turned into a cold light as it slashed at the mountain axe.

"Boom!"

There was a loud sound.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Cyan spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew out uncontrollably. He smashed a few tables and chairs, and even his mountain axe seemed to be heavily injured as it became extremely dim. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a ray of light and automatically returned to his body.

"Pfft … cough cough, no! This is impossible! What did you do …"

Cyan turned pale with fright as he looked at David in disbelief.

One slash!

Just one slash!

He felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. His entire body was in unbearable pain. That terrifying force had sent him flying, and even his Martial Soul had been severely injured. Just who was this guy?

He looked at David fearfully. Cyan felt goosebumps all over his body. He looked at David as if he was looking at a monster. "You … What do you want?!"

David's expression was cold. His Shadowless Saber glowed with a cold light. He walked up to Cyan and looked down at him with a murderous look. "Hey, do you have any money on you?"

Cyan was stunned. "Yes," he said instinctively.

"How much?"

"Not much, just two hundred gold soul coins."

"Damn, aren't you number one? Why are you so poor?!"

"I had tens of thousands, but I spent all of it on the ladies. But I didn't manage to get any of them. I didn't even get to hold their hands. Sigh ~"

"Alright, hand over all your money, and I'll let you go."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, David openly swindled the money. Everyone on the side was dumbfounded.

"What a big bad wolf …"

Syris pouted. David had defeated Cyan with one slash. She was a little moved by his valiant appearance. However, he didn't care about his image at all. He just asked Cyan for money.

At this moment, the valiant image that David had just built up collapsed in her heart!

"Not bad, not bad. I've earned two hundred gold soul coins …"

David counted the money he had stolen from Cyan. He was very satisfied.

After beating the young one, the old one would come out.

This was his usual routine.

But now, David didn't want to play by the rules.

"Are you going to call your brother over?"

He noticed the resentment in Cyan's eyes. He immediately guessed that Cyan wanted to get back at him. Hence, he said calmly, "There's no need for that. I'll go with you and take care of your brother as well!"

Cyan: "???"

… …

Twenty minutes later, in the intermediate training grounds.

David, Syris, and Cyan arrived at the center of the training grounds.

It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky. The warm sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and onto the group of youths who were cultivating it.

These youths were all at the Soul's End rank. Their soul power was between rank 25 and rank 30, which was one rank higher than the Soul's Micro rank. At the Jade Summit Academy, these Souls End rank students were the future pillars of the academy.

Among these Souls Rank students, there was a young man in his twenties. He was slightly older than them, and the soul power radiating from his body was more dazzling than theirs!

After circulating his soul power for a while, the young man let out a long sigh. He gradually woke up from his cultivation state. The green soul power around his body gradually receded, and his aura seemed to be stronger than before.

He slowly opened his eyes. He felt the soul power in his body increase, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Three figures were reflected in his pitch-black eyes. The young man was slightly stunned. He frowned and said, "Cyan, why are you here?!"

The three people who came were his younger brother, Cyan. The other was Malus Anemone, Syris. The last one was a black-haired youth that he had never seen before.

"Brother …"

Cyan timidly walked in front of Aschel and said awkwardly, "I … I brought people to beat you up."

"???"

Aschel was confused. He glared at him and said, "Cyan, what did you say? Are you itching for a beating? "

Although the two of them had different surnames, they were brothers. One of them had their father's surname, and the other had their mother's surname. Aschel was the older brother, and Cyan was the younger brother. The two brothers were very close.

But today, Aschel felt that his younger brother was asking for a beating.

"No! No! "

Cyan realized his slip of the tongue. He hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "This person asked me to bring him here to beat you up!"

As he spoke, he pointed at David with an innocent look on his face.

"Ah?" "What's going on? "Cyan, did you cause trouble again?" Aschel raised his eyebrows and glanced at David. He was very confused.

"Well, I was the one who started it at first." "But now, he's the one who's unwilling to let it go." "He insists on finding trouble with us." Cyan's face was filled with regret. He regretted offending David, this malefic star.

Aschel's aura was much stronger than Cyan's. He seemed to have reached level 30. In the entire Jade Summit Imperial Academy, he was one of the strongest.

David's cold gaze swept across Aschel's body. The corner of his mouth curled up as he said calmly, "Aschel, don't be surprised and don't be confused. In order to prevent you from causing trouble for me, I'll kill you first!"
