59 Black-armored Man (1/2)
In the great hall of the Gian Supreme Empire, there was a banquet being held at the moment. With the most promising disciple of the Imperial School breaking through to the Sky Realm, sixth stage, this was really worth a celebration!
The banquet could be said one of the grandest events the empire had held. Many important figures, especially the sectmasters of the behemoth powers and its high elders, were present to show their congratulations and give out extravagant gifts. Of course, they did not do this out of goodwill, they were aiming to get on the good side of that disciple and when he already soared to the sky, they could hug his thighs and lift their position in the entire Shred Case Mortal World.
”Nephew Zilang Mu is really the dragon amongst men. To think he actually reached Sky Realm, sixth stage at the age of fifteen. How terrifying! My best disciple paled in comparison.” One of the sectmasters bitterly smiled.
”Of course, with the personal guidance of Mentor Shao Gan, that is not suprising for him to gain such achievement. It would more surprising if he did not reach this.” Another sectmaster joined in.
”True. Being guided by Mentor Shao Gan could be said a blessing given by heavens. But still, it was a shocking truth to actually reached Sky Realm, sixth stage at the young age. When I was at the same age as him, I was only Earth Realm, second stage.”
”Sigh. Truly, we will be replaced by the younger generation and they will carry our pride banners.”
As the sectmasters was in the middle of their conversation, a figure wearing a yellow robesuddenly walked over and joined in, ”Sectmasters, I am very glad that you attended this banquet for my disciple.” The figure smiled with full of gentleness.
”Principal Kong, no need to say such things. We are here to celebrate with you the grand achievement of your most promising disciple. Who would want to miss this?”
”That's right, Principal. No need to be so modest with us.” The sectmasters said politely. Although some sects was just on par with the Imperial School in terms of combat power, when it came to the most promising disciples, they paled in comparison.
Principal Kong was the head of the Imperial School which said to be the brightest powerhouse in this era. Not to mention Zilang Mu, even the past disciples of the school were someone that just slightly paled from Zilang Mu!
Principal Kong only smiled after hearing this. After which, majestic steps could be heard as if the king was walking. Each steps was filled with profoundness as it hit the floor creating melodies. This was such a good sound pleasing to the ears.
They turned their heads and everyone suddenly was brimming with excitement!
”Mentor Shao and Zilang Mu are already here!”
”What a grand and majestic entrance!”
”That's Mentor Shao for you. The current overlord of this world!”
The crowd suddenly beamed with smiles as they watched the two figures walking. Indeed, the old man who was Mentor Shao, walked his way bearing an aura mixed of gentleness and dominance.He was wearing a simple robe like it was for a normal cultivator. One glance of someone who does not recognize him would sized Mentor Shao as an insignificant figure.
Contrary to Mentor Shao, the young man behind him was emitting an aura of arrogance, coupled with his cold gaze that made any young cultivators present shudder. This was a very handsome young man in his fifteen years old. However, he gave off the vibe of your typical playboy. The type of boy who would lust over beautiful and enticing women.
”Zilang Mu, the main character of this event, has finally arrived!” Principal Kong received Mentor Shao and Zilang Mu joyfully. He then turned his gaze to Mentor Shao and cupped his hands, ”I pay respect to Mentor Shao!”
Followed suit, everyone cupped their hands and said in unison. ”We pay respects to Mentor Shao!”
”Hoho.” Mentor Shao chuckled, ”I told you to drop this formality and such. But never mind.”
”Mentor Shao, Nephew Zilang, this way please.” Principal Kong, as the host, has to personally guide these two important figures to their respective seats.
”Very well.” Mentor Shao smiled and walked over. Zilang Mu also followed as well, not even giving Principal Kong a glance. This action of Zilang Mu displeased the old figures present.
As a disciple of the Imperial Palace, he should have paid respect to his principal. But not only he did not do this, he even did not bother to give him a glance as if he was just an ant behind his feet. To think this young man was already very arrogant that could almost measure up the heaven? Of course, they knew that he had the power to back it up. But still, as people of the older generation, they found this action very displeasing.
Mentor Shao stopped his steps and faced Zilang Mu and ordered, ”Pay respect to Principal Kong, Zilang.”
