Chapter 80: Idol!
Translator: AshEditor: Geoffrey
In the dark curtain of the night, the pitch black Mystic Bird Battle Shuttle stealthily slipped into the Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School. Its exterior was riddled with multiple pot-holes as well as a starling dent. It appeared as if it was ruthlessly nibbled on by a giant demon beast.
The Mystic Bird Battle Shuttle stopped before a brightly lit office building. In the blink of an eye, the cruiser melted into thin air and was replaced by a black armor wearing young man who was covered in dust. With a flicker of his figure, the black-armored young man disappeared and reappeared inside the principal's office.
The lights of principal's office were still on. Several school leader's eyes were boiling red, noticing the black-armored young man's arrival, some hope burst forth in their eyes. One by one, they all ecstatically stood up.
”Peng Hai, you're here!”
Fiend Blade Peng Hai looked at everyone around. His facial expression was cold as ice, he appeared to be laughing yet not laughing, ”What happened? I only went away to the wasteland to cultivate for just a month, yet you've created such a ruckus here. Not only that, but you also drove away Teacher Sun Biao in anger?”
Zhao Shude, Hei Mianshen, and a few other high-level school leaders were all shocked. Zhao Shude embarrassingly replied, ”Old Sun is too stubborn. If he wants to go home, no matter what we do we can't stop him. We planned to wait for few days till his anger has subsided, but we didn't expect you to be back before that! However, today, it's not about Old Sun but Li Yao, did you know...”
Zhao Shude was not yet finished before Peng Hai coldly interrupted him, ”Do you know why I had promised I would help Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School in instructing the students?”
Zhao Shude and Hei Mianshen stared at each other before replying hesitatingly, ”Peng Hai, you're an outstanding graduate of Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School. Now, everyone is Crimson Nimbus Sect's family. You coming to instruct the younger generation is a matter of course.”
”Hei hei, hei hei hei hei!”
Peng Hai laughed strangely as he very slowly and calmly said, ”Zhao Shude, you listen to me carefully — if you can't remember, then let me refresh your memory. It was Teacher Sun Biao who had rescued me from the slums and brought me to the Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School. I was just a hillbilly with a dusty and dirty appearance. At that time, all of you acted like snobs and didn't take me seriously. On the contrary, all of you scolded and shouted at me and made it difficult for me. Don’t even think for a minute that I’ve forgotten anything!”
”If I wasn’t trying to be respectful to Teacher Sun Biao, I would be too lazy to even look at your rotten faces, let alone fostering the new students of Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School!”
”As for Li Yao, not only is he the newest seedling uncovered by my most respected Teacher Sun Biao, he has also helped me conduct special training for one month, by virtue of which my strength has stepped onto a new level!”
”I have the best relationship with these two. Since your actions have driven them away, why should I even stay to help you chop sueys to train new people?”
”You can look out for yourself. From this moment on, any cooperation between us is completely terminated. If Zhou Yin has anything to say, he can come and directly look for me!”
Peng Hai coldly spoke, took a long deep glance at everyone, and suddenly disappeared.
From outside the window came the departing noise of the Mystic Bird Battle Shuttle. By the time Zhao Shude and the others got to the window, a black tail like the ripples left by in a sea of black ink appeared in their sight as it disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Zhao Shude lost his wits completely. He sat down on a chair and his lips trembled for a long time, but nothing came out from his mouth.
…
Inside the Mystic Bird Battle Shuttle.
The spiritual glyphs engraved upon the control panel emitted a faint light, shining upon Fiend Blade Peng Hai's face. The expression on his face was exceptionally heavy.
After pondering for a bit, Peng Hai turned on the crystal processor and sent a message to a spiritual crane number.
Just 0.01 seconds after, dozens of kilometers away in the clouds, Li Yao's wristwatch slightly shook. The mini crystal processor had received a message from some unknown number.
”It's him?”
Li Yao was a little taken aback. It was the contact info of the man he had been sparring for one month in the Militant Wolf Slayer Gym.
Li Yao was really curious about this tyrannical mysterious figure. However, in the Underground Ghost City, everyone had to abide by its rules. One must never remove their mask if they don't know the identity of the opposing party.
”He’s inviting me to the Upper East District to see his real identity and also wants to make a deal with me?”
Li Yao pondered over the address sent by the gym guy. The address happened to point at the most central location in the Upper East District and was one of the tallest buildings in Floating Spear City. It was one of the Floating Spear City landmark, rumored to have the personal training rooms of many cultivators inside.
”Who the hell is that gym guy? Unexpectedly calling me to meet him at the 'Crystal Sky Building'!”
Li Yao was a little surprised. From the bottom his heart, an impulse to leap surged forth — he now had the opportunity to actually see how luxurious a legendary cultivator's private training room was.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yao accepted the gym guy's invitation.
”A friend is looking for you? Where do you want to go? I'll take you there!” Ding Lingdang said with a smile.
Li Yao lightly tapped on the hologram before the location area of the hologram turned into a fragment and flew out to build an extremely vivid three-dimensional map.
Ding Lingdang arbitrarily swept a glance, but suddenly, her gaze was transfixed. She appeared to be frightened out of her wits, ”You want to go to this place? Do you know the owner of this place? What is your relation with him?”
Li Yao, after a bit of thinking, replied, ”You can say... we have trained together for a month.”
”You have trained with him for a month?”
Ding Lingdang turned completely foolish. Looking at Li Yao, the expression in her eyes was also a little sluggish, as if she was looking at some monster — one out-and-out evildoer!
”Is there a problem? Do you know this guy?” Li Yao touched his cheek while Ding Lingdang looked at him with a hint of fear.
”Yeah... this guy is your high school alumni. It would be more strange if he could not discover a monstrous genius like you with his sinister insight...”
Ding Lingdang muttered in such a low voice that only she was able to hear herself. Her facial expression had turned extremely weird. After laughing several times, she shouted, ”Hold on tightly, we're leaving!”
