Chapter 167

Princ.i.p.al

After Master Lang got over his shock, they went to the gate and let his friends in. Chu Shen introduced Lucas as an aspiring artificer that had some very interesting ideas on the topic of forging. Aslo and Chrissa were friends that had decided to travel with him after he saved them. All of it was true, but Chu Shen left out the traveling to different dimensions thing. It was just too complicated.

When his friends came in, Master Lang guided them his house and told them to rest. Then Master Lang told Chu Shen that he needed to go see the principle and tell her that he was still alive. Chu Shen agreed. After that, they immediately set out to see the princ.i.p.al.

Chu Shen walked with Master Ti Wu to one of the nearby mountains. The path was made up of s.h.i.+ning steel and lined with herbs. Soon, they came across a jade gate. Three guards were there.

One of them came forward. “Halt. This is the princ.i.p.al's office. Students may request to see the princ.i.p.al only after gaining the approval of one of the elders.”

Master Lang smiled. “I am one of the elders. I hereby request that me and my student meet with the princ.i.p.al. The news I bear is urgent.”

“Please show us proof that you are an elder.” The guard was cautious and didn’t show any outward sign of believing or disbelieving Master Lang’s claim. Master Lang sighed and brought out his id token. It was made of white jade and had the picture of a sword engraved on the front and a dragon on the back. The guard looked at it before nodding. “You may pa.s.s, honored elder.”

The gate swung open and Master Lang nodded at the guards before walking by them. The path led to a s.p.a.cious courtyard lined with precious herbs. The Qi in the atmosphere was thick, allowing the plants to grow rapidly. The path was winding and long, but they reached their destination quickly.

In front of them was a majestic building lined with gold trim. A statue of a sword could be seen in the front. When Chu Shen saw it, he felt as though his body was being cut into millions of tiny pieces.

Master Ti Wu was shocked when he saw the statue. “This statue contains its own sword domain, allowing all who see it to feel as though they were being cut. If one had the sword element, they would undoubtedly be able to create a strong domain from studying this. It seems as though this academy does have some strength to it.”

Master Lang saw Chu Shen’s expression and laughed. “I see you can feel it. This statue was carved by a Cosmic-level expert, the founder of the Majestic Sword Academy. I’m sure that you can reach that level soon though, maybe in a year or two? Anyways, we must go see the princ.i.p.al.”

Master Lang went into the building, leading Chu Shen to a closed door. Once there, he knocked on the door. “Princ.i.p.al Mayweather, I have brought a guest to see you.”

A female’s elderly voice came from inside the office. “Come in, both of you.” Master Lang pushed open the door. Facing them was an elderly woman. Upon seeing Chu Shen she raised an eyebrow. “I sensed two Natural Realm cultivators, but to think one of them was so young. Tell me Artificer Lang, just who is it that you brought to me today?”

Master Lang grinned. “It is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to my disciple, Chu Shen. He attended the school for a couple months five years ago but you were never formally introduced to him during that time.”
