Chapter 1102

(Unedited)

…

Before the day ends, Xin Ja is already showing a contented smile on his face. On his first day in the academy, he has learned lots of things that he has not learned from just reading any books. He also made some friends and also met some people who seem to be hostile towards him.

But all in all, his day is amazing.

As gathered his stuff, and was about to walk out, Teacher Hou Anqing suddenly called him to her office.

When Qing Joming heard this, his eyes suddenly began to glow.

Xin Ja could not help but shake his head at this guy. After learning about him getting in the War Games team, he pestered Xin Ja to give him some pointers on fighting and stuff. He felt helpless towards this guy who seems to not take anything seriously in his life.

Like in their alchemy class, he offers to teach him how to make a pill, Qing Joming just said.

"My friend… is my suffering not enough for you? Don't you want me to have a life? If that cousin of mine finds out about this, then my life would be over… Oh, the pain of not seeing my dream girl… that would be my death!" he exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Xin Ja could only shake his head at that time and laughed with the rest of those who heard Qing Joming.

And now when he heard that he is going to be meeting Teacher Hou Anqing, Qing Joming is already holding his hand with both of his blinking like a puppy.

"What do you want now?" Xin Ja said with a helpless expression.

"Hehe… Can… can I go with you?" Qin Joming said with a sly smile.

"I mean, you needed someone to escort you, right? You know… maybe you will get lost. I know where the teacher's lounge is by the way." He added.

Xin Ja could not help but roll his eyes, but he also could not say no to this guy, so the two of them went to the teacher's lounge on the 3rd floor.

As they reached the 2nd floor, on the stairs, Xin Ja suddenly feel that something is off. With his sharp hearing, he suddenly heard some whispering.

"Are they coming?"

"Yeah, I heard that Teacher Hou called for that runt Xin Ja. So I'm sure they're coming this way… Just wait…"

"Haha… We can beat that guy up and teach him a lesson! He should learn not to mess with us 3rd-years…"

"But will Teacher Hou find out?"

"Why are you cowering out? What would they do to us? Suspend us? The team still needs their attackers, right? The coach would turn crazy if she knew that we are suspended from attending the academy… Haha…"

"Yeah, let's see how that guy escapes our fists…"

"Let's break his face… I want revenge for Taiyon."

After hearing that, Xin Ja stopped in his tracks.

"What are you doing? Let's go!" Qing Joming said with a hint of confusion on his face.

He could not wait to see his dream woman, so he feels a bit antsy.

"If you want to get beaten, then go! I won't stop you…" Xin Ja said as he turns around.

"Get beaten? Hey what are you talking about?" suddenly Qin Joming grabs Xin Ja's arm and then tugs at him.

"Trust me… Go and see if you want to…" Xin Ja did not elaborate and just walks away.

Feeling confused, Qin Joming shakes his head and then turns around and continues walking through the stairs. He did not believe what Xin Ja said, or does not want to believe because in his mind right now only seeing Teacher Hou is important.

With a big smile on his face, he walks to the second floor and soon reached the end of the stairs. He then noticed a few 3rd-year students blocking his path.

When he saw that, Qing Joming's heart skips a beat. He could not help but feel his knees shaking seeing those huge fellows.

"Ah… He… Hello!" he greeted.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" one of the 3rd years asked.

"Me? I'm… I'm just casually walking around… Why?" Qing Joming's mind immediately began thinking about how to get away from this precarious situation.

"Tsk… Did you see some small guy going to this place?" one of them asked.

"Ah… Yes. I… I think he went on the other side…" Qing Joming said while pointing the other way.

"Damn it!" one of them cursed.

"Wait a minute… I… I think I've seen this guy. Ah… That's right, this guy is with… Hey!  Get him!" one of them seems to have recognized Qing Joming, but before he could say anything, Qing Joming has already started running.

The group then realized that something is wrong, so they began chasing after Qing Joming who started to run frantically.

At this time, at the end of the corridor, Teacher Hou has already come out of the teacher's lounge from the 3rd floor.

She immediately heard some commotion from the stair. She did not want to bother, but then she suddenly realized what had happened that morning. So she feels a hint of suspicion in her heart, so she began walking towards the stairs.

At this time, Qing Joming has already reached the 1st floor and is running with his life on the line. But he is not as fast as the third years who have already reached the 3rd level Ki fighter. One of them is already stretching his hand about to grab Qing Joming's long hair which is floating behind him.

"I got you now!" the guy shouted as grinned evilly.

"Damn it! Why am I so unlucky!" Qing Joming cried in his heart.

Suddenly, Qing Joming realized something… his body suddenly began to move really slowly. Then he saw someone standing on the side of the wall. That person has his arms crossed on his chest while looking at him as if he is some idiot.

Who else would it be other than Xin Ja? But what Qing Joming could not understand is how Xin Ja was able to create a rune formation just outside of the first floor? Isn't he an alchemist? Though he has seen him use runes, those are bone runes that could be bought from the market or to some runemaster.

However, what baffled him at this time is the effect of the array he just entered. It was actually able to make him move like he is under a quagmire. It was a weird feeling that could make one feel annoyed at the same time distraught.

Then suddenly he feels his body tumbling to the ground after getting his movement back.

But behind him, he noticed that there are now around seven people moving really… slow. Because of the time constraint, Xin Ja was not able to complete the array, so it is a bit rough and he is unable to fully control it.

He could only release and trap. But to attack those inside the array is something that is hard to accomplish. But that does not mean there is no way.

He suddenly flicks a couple of needles in the air and threw them towards the youngsters inside the array. Those silver needles are directed towards their acupoints. Then he suddenly deactivates the array making the needles hit their targets.

The seven young men were about to fall to the ground when Xin Ja once again activates the array and froze them in the air as they tumble in slow motion.

At this time, there are some students who have noticed this scene and began watching on the side. Xin Ja who was too focused on controlling the array did not notice this.

Out of the seven, he noticed that one of them seem to have recovered his movement somehow. Then he saw something glowing around that student.

"You bastard! I will kill you for dishonoring us!" he shouted as he suddenly concentrated his Ki on his hand and then brandishes it at Xin Ja. A 3rd level Ki fighter against a 1st level one, everyone who is seeing this already knew the result of the match.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback at this time and knew that the student is using some kind of counter for his array. But he could not let go of his control on the array or else he would face the rest of the students in it. Without a choice, he suddenly lets go of his other hand to grab something from his pocket.

  Before entering the academy, he has already crafted the weapon that he knew could help him if ever he would be in trouble in this place. Though he is told that the academy is a safe place to learn, yet he has read from books about students getting bullied in schools and sects, and he knew that he should prepare himself for such an event.

And so, he has finished crafting the weapon in which he purposely went out of the town just to get its materials. And right now, in this precarious and difficult situation, he decided to use it to prevent himself from getting bullied.

From his ring, he has already prepared the… Ki Buster.
