C79 (1/2)
Di Chen carried the bamboo basket and headed towards the Wind Cry Pavilion. As he passed by the plaza, he saw a group of people practicing martial arts, these people were fighting in pairs, and were the students of Class B, surrounded by many onlookers, who were all Class C and D's students. Every realm in Sky Realm Academy had four classes, and the students of Class B were all a grade lower.
This was the first time Di Chen had seen a class like teaching, and he was a little interested in it. He stopped and watched, thinking that, as expected of the students of Class B, there were many powerful people among them that were inferior to Di Chen.
There were a few that were especially eye-catching among them. The left side of Bing Tong and Bai Yi, the right side of Bing Tong and the rest of his life, these few people were the focus of attention. Di Chen remembered them, the freshmen who entered the Sky Realm Academy with him.
Amongst them, there was one whom Di Chen actually recognized. It was the Yu Xiuyuan who had some grudges with him back in Thousand Monster Mountain. This guy was very powerful, Di Chen did not expect him to only be a student of Class B.
”So these are the students from Class B. They're indeed stronger than our Class C.”
”Yeah, he's also at the ninth level of Life Seizing, but I estimate that one of them would be able to deal with at least three of our class.”
”That should be Huang Ting, he seems to be the strongest in Class B, many people probably won't be able to beat him in terms of A class.”
The members of Class C and D'Agosta discussed in envy. They did not have such a talent.
In reality, the division of classes in the Sky Realm Academy was based on the students' talent, not on their strength. Some of the students in Class B might not have talent, but after training for a long time, their strength would also be stronger than some of the students in the A class.
When the students of Class B heard the discussions around them, they could not help but feel somewhat proud of themselves.
”Hmm?” Huang Ting's gaze suddenly fell far away, he noticed that Di Chen was in the crowd watching the martial arts practice, and his eyes immediately turned cold. He still remembered the last time, if not for Qiu Chen, Li Xin would not have died, and Li Caishi would not have hated him, he had hoped that Di Chen could die in the Sky Realm Academy's assessment.
Di Chen also noticed the unfriendly gaze of Huang Ting. Afraid of causing trouble, he turned and left.
Huang Ting leaped up and landed right in front of Di Chen, laughing coldly: ”Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Di Chen looked up at Huang Ting and said calmly: ”I still have some matters to attend to, why should I not leave?”
Huang Ting obviously did not believe in Di Chen's excuse, and mocked: ”I think you're purposefully hiding from me right?”
Di Chen could not be bothered anymore. After letting Huang Ting go, he wanted to leave.
Huang Ting stepped in front of him and said: ”You injured Senior Sister Li Caishi last time, seems like your progress is faster than I thought. How about we both have a spar as well?”
”Not interested,” Di Chen circled around him and continued to leave. He was not afraid of him, with Di Chen's current seventh stage cultivation, there was a chance for him to deal with him. He just did not want to waste time.
With a wave of Huang Ting's hand, Class B's group rushed forward and surrounded Di Chen. Most of them were older students, after all, all of them were led by Huang Ting.
Di Chen's footsteps paused, and he asked with furrowed brows: ”What are you doing?”
Huang Ting laughed: ”You are willing to compete with me, they are here to spectate.”
Di Chen said angrily: ”When did I agree to compete with you?”
Huang Ting pointed to the people around him and said: ”They heard it, if you don't believe them, ask them.”
”Yeah, you insisted on challenging Huang Ting, so Huang Ting couldn't resist your pestering, and could only agree, we all heard it.”
Someone in the crowd echoed.
Although private duels were not prohibited in the Sky Realm Academy, but they could not go too far either. If Di Chen was truly unwilling, then he could not force himself to do so, since he was not a person who was from a clan like Ai Yeshi's or Jin Rui's, so he used this method, now that everyone had become Huang Ting's' witnesses', at that time, even if Huang Ting was injured, he would not be held responsible.
Everyone knew that Huang Ting and Di Chen had some grudges between them, and looked at Di Chen teasingly, thinking that he was dead for sure this time.
Di Chen was speechless, he did not expect Huang Ting to be so shameless, but he could not do anything about it.
”Since you insist on challenging me, I naturally cannot refuse. Di Chen, don't blame me if you are injured.”
After Huang Ting finished speaking, he took a step towards Di Chen, and punched fiercely with a fist filled with power.
Di Chen could feel a sharp gust of wind rushing over, its speed was too fast, he was not even prepared with the bamboo basket on his back for a moment as he hastily punched towards Huang Ting.
Bang!
The two fists collided, causing Di Chen's arm to go numb. His entire body was smashed and sent flying, tumbling on the ground a few times.
