Chapter 7 – The First Encounter Between Chen and Tang (2/2)

Chen Chang Sheng stood under the list and was silent for a long time.

The crowd looked at him without mercy and showed a mocking attitude. If Tang Thirty Six didn’t stand beside him, a lot of insults would have been used by now.

“I don’t understand.” Chen Chang Sheng said.

Tang Thirty Six didn’t understood either. He believed Chen Chang Sheng’s statement of answering the questions. If he said he answered most of the questions, then he did answer most of the questions. Just from the score, even if he wasn’t on top of the list, he should’ve made it on the list.

Chen Chang Sheng found the teacher who was responsible for the stage of Sensory Stone and said, “I want to check my paper.”

The teacher was organizing his stuff and didn’t look at Chang Sheng’s calm and steady eyes, “Before you used legal ruling to obtain the permission for the entrance exam, but you should know that the testing papers of Heavenly Academy are not allowed to be rechecked. This represents respect to the academy. if you didn’t enter, then you didn’t enter.”

Chen Chang Sheng looked at him in silent for a long time before he turned around and left.

“Although he didn’t say anything, I know what he wanted to say.……….. A youngster who is angry but speaks nothing of it is truly significant.” Tang Thirty Six watched as the youngster’s shadow disappeared at the other side of the lake. He turned around and mocked at someone “Heavenly Academy dares not to accept such a genius. No wonder why it’s famous and well respected.”

“You are only older than him by two years. It’s funny that you are calling him a youngster.”

The vice-principal of Heavenly Academy said, “But the more interesting part is, how do you know what he wanted to say?”

“He wanted to say‘you will regret this…..’ The reason that I know this is because if I was treated like him, I will definitely mark my words.”

“Heavenly Academy will regret its decision to reject a normal student?”

“He is not a normal student. He is a genius like me.”

The vice-principal of Heavenly Academy fell silent and said, “I saw the testing paper of that youngster. Although he didn’t reach the Purification stage yet, he is already very knowledgeable. For sure he is a genius. He probably isn’t even far off from Wang Zhi Ce. If it was under normal circumstances, I would have definitely accepted him into the school and taught him myself. Except, not this time”

Tang Thirty Six looked at him and asked, “Why not?”

“Because someone said so.” The vice-principal answered.

“Who?”

“The Divine General’s Estate”(TL: F***ing son of a ****… idk but it pisses me off at least..)

“The continent’s strength pyramid consisted of: the lone Du Fu (Single Man), Five Saints, Eight Storms of the Cardinal Directions, and countless characters on the Proclamation of Liberation. Not mentioning the Demon lords, the thirty eight Divine Generals were obviously also powerful……. But why would a place like Heavenly Academy follow orders from a Divine General’s Estate?”

“Your father asked me to take care of you so I won’t hide this from you, but you can’t leak anything out….. Just a Divine General’s Estate wouldn’t affect Heavenly Academy, but that Divine General’s Estate is different. It’s the Divine General of the Eastern Decree’s Estate and the owner is named Xu Shi Ji.”

“Xu Shi Ji…. although he has the favor of the Divine Empress and is powerful himself he is still just a Divine General.”

“But he has a Phoenix in his house…..”

Tang Thirty Six’s coldness and pride on his face melted when he heard the word “Phoenix”. He was silent for a long time and mumbled, “………How did Chen Chang Sheng cause trouble with that Phoenix? Who is he?”

The vice-principal said calmly, “We couldn’t less who he is. All things aside, he is already fourteen years old. Even if he start to cultivate now, there are too many geniuses in this world. Even if he has good talent, what is he going to do? I compared him to Wang Zhi Ce previously, but if he really has Wang Zhi Ce’s perseverance and luck, then does it really matter if he got accepted into Heavenly Academy or not? All he needs to do is to work hard and he can be the best.”

————————————–

Chen Chang Sheng didn’t know that he got rejected because of the Divine General’s Estate. He thought he was kicked off the list because the son of a rich family in the Capital wanted his spot. Although he had just entered the regular world,he read about many shady business in the literatures. What else can he do besides keeping silent right now?

As he left Heavenly Academy and walked towards the second school, he still didn’t notice that a carriage was following him from afar. On that carriage was an emblem of Blood Phoenix faintly expressed its unquestionable presence.
