Chapter 25: You Are My Faith (VI)

”I won't” Shang Ke sie before he turned back around to tidy up his things

Max frowned, playing with his short sword as he watched the busy figure Suddenly, he took out a silver coin fro

Shang Ke's body instinctively dodged it, but his reaction speed was too slow and he was still hit squarely

His knees bent and he almost fell down A bowl fell froround, ihtened and ran over to Shang Ke, tightly holding his leg as she glared at Max

Max's expression was strange as he looked at the s, hesitant as he spoke, ”Osari, you…” He didn't expect that Osari had becoe a coin nowadays

Shang Ke turned to look at hiht?”

He spoke very calmly, and his impenetrable, dark eyes didn't contain any sha an ordinary question

On the other hand, Max didn't kno to reply after being asked such a question

”Captain Max Wey” At this , ”If you're really itching for a fight, then why don't you fight raduated, he still soe Kaiser's quick double swords were already faeneration

”I didn't expect that Captain Wey would knowon Kaiser's face, but his eyes were bri intent

Max looked at hi away his short sword, sneering, ”Forget it, it's not my style to bully the weak”

He then called for his coht?” Kaiser went to Shang Ke's side and asked worriedly

”I' Ke replied with a smile

Kaiser hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not hold back and asked, ”Are you really Osari?”

”My nauely, he indirectly admitted his identity

Kaiser watched as he unsteadily walked away, sorrow flashi+ng through his eyes

When he had just started school, he heard about the school's twin stars from years before One was the deep and unmeasurable Tylor, while the other was Osari, whose talent had surpassed all The two of theht countless honors to the school in all sorts of coolden days, at least one of thee almost completely monopolized first place Who knew just how many people idolized and worshi+pped the two of theht future before hiraduation He reappeared five years later, but in such a condition His strength was greatly lowered, he was no longer illustrious, and he had even been caught by slave traders Against soer had the power to fight back

Just how large of a sacrifice did this man make? Just howthe devil qi within others really worth it with himself as the price? The people invaded by devil qi were mostly either weak in willpower or sinister people Was it really worth sacrificing hiinally had unmatchable talent, and a future that far surpassed everyone else's With his iroup's leader in the future, but now, he could only push a cart and scarcelyKe: Correction, the profit I earn isn't ”scarce,” so please don't look down onhuer

He hated how he couldn't i He is stronger than anyone!” However, he was afraid of bringing the other man trouble After all, people were usually afraid of someone who had devil qi in their body The way they handled people ere invaded was simple-if not cured, kill

Kaiser wanted to open his mouth and ask hi Ke turned and so back home”

His sht and beautiful, without any sorrow He was like a precious stone, gleaer and resentment in Kaiser's heart evaporated like water

It is commonly said that ”People who are pitied also have hateable aspects” But a strong person does not need pity, because they will never lose their courage and hope

”Ho hoaze war Ke, sloalking back

One day, everyone will know just how strong this th is not in his physical prowess, but in his spirit

”I really can't believe that that person was Osari, someone as once equally famous with you” Quincy's had an amazed expression as he wondered, ”How did he turn out like this?”

Tylor leaned against the tree trunk, silently gazing at the departing figures

Quincy once again spoke, ”If it wereCity, so that I don't appear a fool”

Tylor glanced at hi in another direction

”Hey, wait!” Quincy did not take note of Tylor's expression and continue to speak energetically, ”By tomorrow, the whole school will probably know of this The forenius has fallen Who kno many people will come out to watch…”

Like Quincy said, Osari's identity quickly spread That Lunch Box Prince was actually Osari, the genius who had obtained e

This news created a sensation in the college, and the next day, et a look

Shang Ke did not shut himself in the house after his identity was exposed, but rather, he once again tripled the price of his lunch boxes and halved the quantity

”He's Osari? My older brother was a year younger than him, and would always talk about hiive up his faith?”

”This kind of person could be equally famous as Lord Tylor?”

Everyone pointed and poked at Shang Ke Some were curious, some were excited, others sneered, and so how the for Ke, truly confused at why someone who knew that he will be kicked while he's doould still persevere and coh Kaiser was not very well-off, he still had enough to raise two other people with enough to spare!

At thisKe's cart, and one with a buzz cut said in a peculiar tone, ”Senior Osari, we have visited your stall so ize for our lack ofKe carved a fruit into a flower, he asked, ”Are you buying a lunch box?”

”Yes, of course I'll buy” The youth with a buzz cut proclaimed, ”I'll take all of your lunch boxes today”

”That's a total of 213 gold coins, thank you for your patronage,” Shang Ke replied without even raising his head

The youth stared blankly, before asking, ”213 gold coins? Why is it so expensive? You only sell a hundred lunch boxes every day, with each one being 25 silver coins One hundred lunch boxes should only be 25 gold coins at most”

”The prices increased today, and each box is 75 silver coins”

”Then it should only be 75 gold coins in total”

”The additional 138 is the IQ fee”

”IQ fee?” The buzz cut boy stared at hi Ke indifferently asked, ”You're a second year student at Light Ode College, right?”

”That's right How did you know?” The boy puffed out his chest and spoke with pride

Shang Ke sighed and replied, ”You're wearing a blue-lined school uniforular IQ can tell, unless you're only borrowing so students all roared with laughter

The youth's face turned red, and he flew into rage, ”I just forgot that I earing my school unifor Ke sood Oh, sorry, it should be said that they're very bad”

”You investigated ain, saying, ”Tell me, do you think a person who failed six subjects in a row in a single seate?”

The other had been co Ke's pace, as he asked, ”How did you know I failed six subjects in a row?”

”You said it three days ago when you bought lunch boxes froo?” The corner of his er said three days ago, could you not remember it so clearly?!

”The school has nine main subjects and you failed six of the in your oay Me taking some IQ fees froain roared with laughter

The ered he was about to spit blood The blondutterly defeated, tried to help ”Osari, you've fallen to this stage yourself, so what kind of qualifications do you have toKe took a look at the blond irl next to hiht” The blond man s, ”I was born into nobility and have excellent achievements I'm afraid you can't find a reason toKe objected, ”Then, what about your relationshi+p problems?”

”Relationshi+p problehtly, and he subconsciously looked at the girl beside hiirl and said, ”Your necklace is very pretty Did Kenly give it to you?”

”Thank you, he did” The girl wasKe's s Ke continued, ”Very uncoincidentally, I saw the sairl”

Kenly spoke with disdain, ”So what if the necklaces are similar? It's not like the necklace is unique in this world”

”That's right, it's not unique” Shang Ke shrugged his shoulders and said, ”But it's quite regretful that your handiwork is so low quality You left different declarations of love on the two necklaces, but the handwriting is the sa about you all the ti you all the time' I can't help but notice, your vocabulary is really liirl stared at Kenly in disbelief, before forcefully pulling off the necklace and fiercely kicking hi in a crossed mood

”Sandy!” Kenly anxiously chased after her

Shang Ke then shi+fted his gaze upon a couple of other people, who subconsciously took a step back They didn't dare to provoke him anymore, for fear that he would deal with their IQ fees[1]

”Hahaha!” everyone laughed loudly

But after laughing, they couldn't help but secretly feel afraid That necklace was so sht and nize it? Plus, there had been quite a bit of tier he did not have any relations with Just how did Osari re Ke turned a deaf ear to all of the laughter, and tranquilly said, ”Although ood nowadays, my IQ and moral quality can leave you all behind a couple streets Coet full ht?”

A moment later, he laid down his knife and slowly raised his head, his gaze brightly looking at everyone as he spoke, ”Being uncouth and ignorant can give you asurrender, or ently placed down the fruit he had carved onto the table

Everyone's laughter gradually stopped as their gazes followed his slender fingers and fell onto the fruit

In the fewKe had carved the fruit into a blooht It was exquisite down to the finest details, and a faint fragrance diffused into the air, relaxing everyone's hearts

A king within flowers, that no one could overtake

This was…the power of faith!

Although they could not feel the power of faith from him, he could attach his faith to an external iteeous

Everyone looked at this sih he was a tall mountain, deep and immeasurable No one had the enius! Even if hisas before Between his sance

Kaiser continued to stand behind Kaiser He had originally been prepared to fight, but he si Ke used just a few sentences to dissolve the crisis, and even receive an entire group of fans His lunch boxes were sold at an even faster speed than before, until none were left

Hidden in the forest, Tylor watched the youth that was surrounded by everyone with a bottoaze, and his heartbeat sped up a bit

The Osari he once kneas like a sharp blade, and although strong, he did not have any depth The current hih physically weak, was like a polished pearl After roa, his brilliance had turned into a sharp spear, one that people could not take their eyes of off

Just what did he experience to have such a heaven and earth rending change?

It was probably aoneself that a norine?

On the way back, Kaiser kept glancing toward Shang Ke every once in a while

Shang Ke glanced back and spoke, ”If you have so” Kaiser rubbed his nose, his eyes lit up with happiness He was clearly in a great e look, but he did not knohy the other was acting crazy

”Shang Ke,” Kaiser suddenlyKe's ear and softly said, ”let's be a faht already?” Shang Ke raised an eyebrow and continued, ”You can give up, I a to ed hi into the courtyard quickly while holding Pupu

Shang Ke rubbed away the saliva on his face, cursing with a s Ke's popularity quickly rose Although many people still secretly er happened On one hand, it was because his personal charm had conquered numerous people On the other hand, it was because Tylor and Kaiser has issued their oarnings

Kaiser was easy to talk to, but if it was Tylor, no one would dare to scorn hi Ke spent his days very coossiped a bit…until seven days later, when an old ave the old man a student's bow

Gamov was Osari's esteee

He rubbed his beard before gently looking at Shang Ke and asking, ”Osari, how long are you planning to sell lunch boxes?”

”Teachers ly asked

”Coht Ode College”

Surprise flashed through Shang Ke's eyes ”Teacher, reatly diuest lecturer?”

”The school doesn't lack martial arts masters” Gae, to spread culture and not fighting skills”

Shang Ke fell into conteain spoke, ”You were theall of my students I believed so before, and I still believe it even now”

Shang Ke did not hesitate over Gaave hi as teacher doesn't fear that this student will haress, then this student would naturally be delighted to try”

”Haha” Gaue, theirhad finally been resolved

Gamov looked at the youth before him, and felt both ad his strength Although he did not knohy Osari had become so weak, it did not influence his evaluation of him On the contrary, he felt that the current Osari had the te Ke would take up the post of guest lecturer quickly spread and caused a disturbance within the college Half of the college supported the decision, and half was against it They all wanted to see just what kind of show Osari would give thelorious professor, while Osari was the college's guest lecture After five years, the school's forain met
