Chapter 8 (2/2)

“Ren Jie, do you think you can hide?” Su Yu brought a gang of people and stood in the middle of the entrance of the academy to block the path of Ren Jie’s carriage. Afterward, he closed his fan and said, “You rascal! Your mother gave birth to you but didn’t raise you. Didn’t you say that you will kill anyone who said anything about your mother? Come on! Fight me!”

Using his fan, Su Yu pointed to the spiritual beast carriage not far away from him which was gradually approaching a complete stop. “Today, I’ll show you the consequences of harassing Miss Fang. Get your ass down now,” Su Yu said.

“That’s right. Get your ass here obediently now.”

“Who is Miss Fang? How could a useless person like you attempt to curry favor with her? Who are you to spread rumors and slander the person Young Master Su likes?”

Ren Jie had returned to the academy from the Jade Capital. After the outburst in the conference hall and the two days and one night spent reading in the library pavilion, Ren Jie was gradually getting accustomed to his new lifestyle. He had no choice but to get accustomed to it. After all, he had transmigrated here and became the current Ren Jie.

When he was contemplating his future, he felt that the cart was gradually reaching a stop. Then, he heard a clamoring outside.

Su Yu. Ren Jie had a vague impression of him in his mind. Su Yu was not in the same class as Gao Ren, Gao Fei, Fang Qi and him. They were in the first year A1 class while Su Yu was in the first year A5 class. He was one of Fang Qi’s constantly present pursuers.

Ren Jie did not have to lift the curtains. He could detect everything within a twenty meters radius with his divine sense. It was normally impossible for those in the Body Refinement Realm to unleash their divine sense. In the Body Refinement Realm, cultivators could only use their divine sense to understand about their bodies internally. They could do that once they had reached the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm and possessed the ability to perform endoscopy on themselves using their divine sense.

Only when they reached the True Qi Realm would their divine sense leave their bodies and detect their surroundings. Normally, those in the first three levels of the True Qi Realm could only detect the happenings three to five meters away from them. When they were about the sixth level, they could then detect up to about ten meters away from them. Only those who reached the ninth level of the True Qi Realm would be able to detect to about twenty meters away from them.

When using the divine sense to detect your surroundings, everything around you would be clearly presented in a holographic, three-dimensional image in your mind as long as your divine sense was strong enough. From Ren Jie’s understanding, changes to one’s divine sense were not directly due to improvements in one’s ability. In the cultivation process, as one’s ability improved, their realm would follow suit. The improvements to one’s realm ultimately led to improvements to one’s divine sense.

Although there was no clear indication currently about the association between one’s divine sense and realm, there were many instances that showed that those who possessed a higher realm would have strong divine senses. After hearing the Five Saints discussing Dao for fifteen minutes, Ren Jie could clearly feel the changes to his realm. Because of the improvements to his realm, his divine sense was approaching the extent of those at the ninth level of the True Qi Realm and he could detect everything within a twenty-meter radius around him.

It was precisely due to how strong his divine sense was that he could block out the clamor by Su Yu and his sidekicks and hear some of the conversations of the crowd that surrounded him.

“Wow! This is interesting. He was stopped right as he came back.”

“This is nothing. He is not the only one finding trouble for Ren Jie.”

“He deserves that for harassing the goddess of our hearts. If my family clan was strong enough, I would give him a beating too.”

“Miss Fang has said that she does not want to be bothered by Ren Jie anymore. She would be thankful to anyone who could help her. I heard that she has invited Gao Fei over for tea.”

Hearing those words, Ren Jie became extremely infuriated. He had just had a rebirth and he did not have the feeling to care about how the previous dumb Ren Jie pursed Fang Qi and ended up getting beaten. However, it was obvious that Fang Qi was the person behind the whole incident.

If the previous incident just ended as it was, Ren Jie would simply cast it aside. That was because he would no longer follow the manner the previous Ren Jie handled matters and would not live like him anymore.

But Fang Qi had targeted him and created all these troubles for him. F*ck. Is she messing around with me? It looks like I have to teach this woman a lesson.

“What happened? Are you too scared to come out and decided to hide inside the carriage like a timid mouse? Since you’re so scared, I’ll let you off if you croak thrice like a toad and crawl into the academy,” Su Yu said from outside the carriage.

“Uncle Beast, barge in.” F*ck. Trying to cause a clamor? Ren Jie did not spare a moment of deliberation and ordered Uncle Beast to barge in.

“Boom…” Without any warning or hesitation, Uncle Beast, who was maneuvering the spiritual beast carriage, directed the carriage to accelerate immediately after hearing Ren Jie’s orders.

“Ah… Ah…”

“What’s that…”

“Quick, run…”

“Ah… Bam…”

“Bam…”

A commotion stirred outside. The accelerated spiritual beast carriage was not as terrifying as it was at full speed, but any movement by it was terrifying enough. In Ren Jie’s words, the terror caused by that carriage was akin to that of super-cars such as the Lamborghini and Ferrari. Even if it merely accelerated for a few meters, the impact of a crash was terrifying.

Fortunately, the people in that universe were not as fragile as ordinary human beings on Earth. Thus, there were no deaths. However, everyone was knocked into the air, Su Yu included.

The crash created a pandemonium. Some had fractured bones. Su Yu was the first to be hit and he took the impact full on. His arms were broken and it was obvious that some ribs were fractured too. Blood splattered from his mouth right after he landed on the ground.

“Splat… Ren… Jie… You…”

“What about me? Good dogs don’t get in the way. Those who get in the way are not good dogs.” Fight evil with evil. Pampered kids should be punished by even more pampered persons. Ren Jie did not bother wasting his saliva trying to argue with them. He took the most direct and effective route. Afterward, he lifted the curtain of the spiritual beast carriage and threw a few gold checks out. “Use this for your medical bills. If it was not for the academy’s reputation, I would have made you croak like a toad for three days in front of this door. Uncle Beast, let’s go.”
