Chapter 302 – Reincarnated Celestial (2/2)

There was a roar of laughter, while Hua Chenglu secretly applauded him. She had basically gotten her revenge for being fooled earlier. Apart from being courageous, this guy really was rather sharp-witted too. She could not help but think about that rainy night in Lakeside city, where he clasped his hands gracefully in the dark alleyway whilst wearing a rain cloak.

This memory that had already become blurred suddenly became clear. Even if the circumstances worked against a man like that, even if he had accidentally ended up in the school of Novels, he would still probably become quite accomplished!

After asking everybody, puppet Meng Xiqi bowed deeply. “Thank you for your suggestions!” He pointed at his head. “I’ve already stored it all in here. I’ll have to keep improving it when I get back. I’ll give a box of pine wood pieces to all the disciples from earlier as a reward.”

The disciples that saw through the fact that the professor was a puppet climbed onto the platform one by one, collecting their box of wood.

“Don’t forget to practise.” Puppet Meng Xiqi repeated this.

When it was Li Qingshan’s turn, just when he wanted to collect the box of wood, the puppet professor grabbed him firmly. “I might be a puppet, but you can’t fool around with me.”

Li Qingshan understood that he was no longer speaking to just the puppet right before him. He smiled. “Yes, professor.”

Puppet Meng Xiqi released his hand and patted Li Qingshan’s shoulder. “I’ve heard Pingyang talk about you. You’re welcomed to come here more often in the future.”

Li Qingshan stowed his notes away and made his way out of the huge, spiral structure. The sun was setting already. Before he knew it, an afternoon had already passed by, but he felt extremely satisfied and at ease with the small box of wood in his hand.

This was his first class. He had finally taken another step forward.

Hao Pingyang and Zhang Lanqing were waiting below the streetlight across the road. Yes, it was a streetlight. The long pole held up a hazy yellow light, illuminating a large part of the road. There were already insects buzzing around the light.

“Li Qingshan, stop right there!”

Just when Li Qingshan wanted to make his way over, a roar rang out from behind him, which attracted quite a lot of attention.

He had almost forgotten about this fellow. Li Qingshan turned around and said to Chu Tian, “Kid, what do you want?”

Fighting without permission was forbidden in the academy, while the person who started the fight would be severely punished. And, it was not just physical pain for those who thought they could play the hero. It would include a penalty of spiritual stones too.

Initially, Li Qingshan had been searching for a peaceful environment, but he felt rather unhappy now. If he were in the wilderness, he would have crushed this kid to death right now. He wanted to see just what trump cards he had apart from his Five Elements constitution and whether they were more powerful than his own.

Chu Tian said, “I want to challenge you to a gamble. Are you bold enough to accept?”

Li Qingshan was overjoyed. “This is too good to be true!”

Chu Tian was instead stunned by Li Qingshan’s reaction and felt slightly anxious, but he soon settled down. Li Qingshan was just a sixth layer Qi Practitioner. Even if he knew some Body Practitioner techniques, there was nothing to be afraid about.

“Are you going to accept or not?”

“Alright? What are we gambling? Tell me.”

“It’ll be fighting, obviously. What, are we supposed to compete at who’s better at being a good-for-nothing glutton? If that’s the case, I’ll never be able to beat you. Haha!” Chu Tian laughed, but he discovered that no one laughed along, so he shut up awkwardly.

Li Qingshan said, “Alright, sure. Give me a time, location, and the wager.”

Chu Tian said, “The location will obviously be the Main Martial Arts stadium on Great War island. The wager will be a thousand, no, two thousand spiritual stones. The time- the time will be in three month’s time.”

He was tempted to teach Li Qingshan a vicious lesson right now, but he felt uneasy for some reason, which was why he pushed it back by three months. After joining the school of Confucianism, Liu Zhangqing had personally passed him the Great Palm of the Five Elements. He could practise five kinds of true qi simultaneously, giving him tremendous power. Three months were sufficient for him to attain a basic mastery of it.

By then, let alone the sixth layer, even Qi Practitioners of the ninth or tenth layer would be a piece of cake to deal with. And, Li Qingshan would definitely improve slowly in the school of Novels, so as time went on, victory would be certain for him even without using “that”. He could not help but feel slightly proud over his own cleverness, but he began to worry that Li Qingshan would turn him down.

“Alright. Then in three months’ time it is.” Li Qingshan agreed happily. What he lacked right now the most was time. Three months were enough for him to digest most of the pills in his hundred treasures pouch, and it was enough to push his strength as a daemon and human to a new level. Chu Tian gave him exactly what he wanted.

Just like that, they agreed on their gamble, and Li Qingshan turned around and left.

“Hey, Li Qingshan.”

Hua Chenglu rushed over and grumbled. “You won’t even greet me when you see me. So much for going through thick and thin together in the past.”

Yu Zijian said, “Big brother Li.”

Chu Tian saw how another two beautiful women gathered around Li Qingshan, which only made him even more jealous.

Hua Chenglu communicated with Li Qingshan. “You mustn’t fight him. You won’t be able to win!”

“How come?”
