Chapter 22 Snowfall
Ciel finally stood up from the throne so that Mu Yixue could get off his thigh.
She felt a certain satisfaction after sitting there, as if she and Ciel were Queen and King in front of their people.
Even so, she was somewhat uncomfortable as she felt the gazes of her companions, especially those who were beating Ciel on her orders.
They suddenly felt wronged because before they could be said to have a crush on Ciel.
"Where are we going now?" asked Mu Yixue.
She was staring at the continent below through the side of the ark, something that made her expression strange.
Her gaze could basically see the entire continent from up there, she could even feel the powerful auras on the continent.
However, among them, the strongest people she found were only at the Fourth Hegemon Stage.
They were practically like juniors to her.
With the difference in combat power, even the younger Mei Mei could probably easily defeat them.
Ciel didn't answer Mu Yixue's question right away. He walked to the side of the ark.
His eyes then gazed at the eastern region of the continent.
There, there was a huge, ancient city nestled among the mountains.
It was filled with humans, either mortals or cultivators.
Every now and then, there was a group of young village men who entered the city excitedly, talking about the Fire King Academy.
In the center of the town, there was indeed a separate special area full of academy buildings.
A mighty aura always emanated from there, showing to passersby that it was the lair of the Hegemons.
Young Spiritual Masters were not considered so impressive, only those who reached the Spiritual King Realm were considered geniuses.
If Ciel's entire life was spent on the Fire Mountain Continent, then half of it was in that city and academy, which was also the place where he made many enemies.
When you became the enemy of a group of elites in the academy, you would practically become the enemy of the entire continent since the average young master of a noble clan in the continent attended the academy.
Ciel was unfortunately among such people.
This did not mean he was the type to provoke people. Indeed now he was quite unrestrained, but that was only because he had something to rely on. Before, he was still quite cautious.
However, trouble doesn't come just because you like to make trouble, sometimes trouble comes because you're the type who easily makes people jealous.
Ciel is undoubtedly that type because of his good looks.
His eyes then gazed at a small hill in the academy's backyard.
There was a lake there where several young men were sitting beside it, meditating.
The most conspicuous was the young man in the center.
He had long brown hair, a tall and large body, and quite a handsome face.
Occasionally, flames emanated from him, making smoke appear in the air.
'Third Stage Spiritual King, Alex, huh, you always claim to be a peerless genius, but today I'm going to make you feel like trash,' Ciel said to himself.
Alex was the best young genius on the Fire Mountain Continent, considered the best even in the last thousand years.
He also has an extraordinary status, Prince of the Fire River Kingdom.
It was the largest kingdom on the continent.
Just moments after Ciel had observed them, Alex suddenly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath that seemed as if it could burn the air.
The others opened their eyes as well because of his movement.
"Prince Alex, your talent is indeed amazing, I admit to being far inferior to you," said the young man with long black hair who looked like a scholar.
The fat youth beside him then added, "hahaha, worthy of the best talent in a thousand years. I'm afraid you still have trouble finding opponents on other continents."
Alex smiled slightly at their words, as if he agreed with what they said.
"I will become Hegemon in two months at the latest. After that, I will start traveling across the Realm of Life. If there are geniuses better than me, I will challenge them until they kneel at my feet." He was full of confidence as he said that.
This didn't mean he had never heard things about other continents, but he had only heard them from people who just always wanted to cheer him up.
Of course, in his mind, he thought he was great even looking into the entire Realm of Life.
Ciel showed a dismissive expression after he heard the man's words.
He did not like hearing a group of people who overestimated themselves. Hence, his gaze moved to the academy's other students.
Surprisingly enough, they were all talking about the Ice Palace recently having a Prince.
They were interested because the Prince's name was Ciel.
"You know, Ciel has gone to the Ice Continent, is there any chance he's that prince?" A thin and bald young man wondered while glancing left and right.
His friends laughed at him after hearing his words.
"Don't say nonsense. What's so special about Ciel, not to mention the Prince of the Ice Palace, even being a village leader would be difficult for him. That prince, on the other hand, must have many extraordinary things. I heard that even the Ice Goddess' disciple is in love with him." One of them replied.
However, the bald youth still maintained his opinion.
"Isn't Ciel indeed the type that many women fall in love with. And also, it's been confirmed that the prince has a low cultivation. Who knows he might be the lost son of the Ice Goddess and now they meet again so the Goddess gave him an extraordinary status."
"Your words make sense." Some finally slightly agreed with the bald youth's words.
"However, if he really is the Ciel we know, he would have come straight here for revenge. But where is he? We can see that Alex and the others don't care about the news."
"Maybe he's on his way here," the bald youth replied.
And right after he said that, the air suddenly became very cold, enough to make the rivers freeze.
Before he could even react, snow was suddenly falling.
"What happened?" People were dumbfounded by the sight because there should be no snow on this continent.
