Chapter 107 – Polaris Academy (2/2)

It’s had been three years, and Ye Wei never imagined he would reunite with Cao Ning in such a situation.

Ye Wei’s face turned ash-white. The people who stood around him could feel a cold presence, and they all unconsciously moved and turned to the source of the Qi disturbance. “Brother Cao!” The students who came with Ye Wei ran through the crowd into the open area. All of them were angry to see their leader hurt. Ye Wei did not say a word. He just followed the Senior One boys.

Out of the few hundred people, most of them were junior or intermediate Students, and seeing that the senior students have arrived on the scene, they all made way for the stronger ones to come through.

“Brother Cao, are you okay?” The Senior One boys helped Cao Ning up while their eyes spat fire staring while staring at the black-robed cultivators.

Cao Ning was the boss of Senior One. He always had a sense of justice and was happy to help others. He had a great reputation, and although he was from a normal family, even students from martial family respected him inside and outside the classroom. Now that he was injured, none of Senior One students could hold back their anger. They were all pissed and got ready to attack these bad-mannered visitors.

“Oh you, watch bother Cao. I’m going to help them!” The chubby student who helped Cao Ning up didn’t want to ditch his friends, so he rushed in after making sure the boss was in good hands.

“How are you feeling?” Ye Wei held Cao Ning so he could stand steadily. He was relieved as he could sense Cao Ning’s injuries were not serious.

These Polaris Academy students were very ingenious they hit just hard enough to knock the South Star students down but not hard enough to be punished for bodily harm by the academy’s student discipline committee.

“I’m fine!” Cao Ning’s tried to open his bruised eye as he shook his head. Cao Ning did not recognize Ye Wei right away, and he thought the boy next to him was just a kind-hearted classmate.

“Who are they?” Ye Wei looked at the black-robed youngster and asked.

“These students from Polaris are too strong; I am no match to them. We need some teachers here, or a few of South Star’s top ten students to defend ourselves!” Cao Ning was looking at Ye Wei sure he had seen this face somewhere in the past.

“You are doing pretty well for yourself. These guys love you it seems. Three years ago you were too scared to even speak loudly, and now these guys are calling you their boss? Haha!” Ye Wei chuckled mischievously, in the mood to joke as his old friend’s minor injuries were pretty funny. ‘Humm… Should I do something about this?’

“W…Wei?” It was not Ye Wei’s sense of humor, but his accent that gave it away.

Ye Wei had changed a lot. His appearance, posture, and even his way of behaving had changed. Cao Ning would not be able to recognize this good looking young man if he didn’t know Ye Wei better than anyone else at South Star Academy.

“Finally… Took you some time. Was that because of your eye?” Ye Wei’s lips curled into a familiar smile, one that Cao Ning had missed for quite some time.

“It really is you! Where have you been all these years? I have been to the Ye mansion more than a few times, but all they did was give me these pills and herbs and… Nevermind that! They said you went to train with Master Yi, and even they didn’t know where you were!” There was excitement on Cao Ning’s face. He was excited to see his old friend again after three years.

“Me? As you said, I’ve been training!” Ye Wei said casually as he thought about his experiences and the pain of it. He smiled satisfyingly knowing how the three years had changed him.

Although Ye Wei mentioned it as if it was nothing, nobody except him and Master Yi knew what kind of torture and hardship he had to endure.

“Trash!” Amongst the seven black-robed cultivators, a red-haired youngster stepped forward. He spoke in a disdainful tone while sneering.

He stared at the Senior One students as they approached. He laughed and then stomped. The ground fractured, and his body was suddenly filled with Qi as an invisible pressure wave spread from his foot.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Before the Senior One students could get close to him, they were already knocked into the air then fell to the ground. The pressure wave impacted them internally causing them to be stunned and unable to fight.

“What do they teach you here? How to be a punching bag?” The red-haired youngster looked down at where the Senior One students laid and said derisively.

“This strength!”

The surrounding students gasped and exclaimed. All the students from Senior One were seven-star Students or above, and the ones who just rushed into the crowd circle were some of the best students in the class, many of which were ten-star Students.

The ability to knock down that many top Students with just a stomp was telling. The crowd now knew that this red-haired youngster was at least a three-star Warrior!

It was no surprise that a Warrior could beat Students, but neutralizing them with just Qi meant that this Warrior was very well trained…
