The Geared Immortal

Chapter 496 - Another Way (2)

Chapter 489

/*unedited*/

An hour has passed and Shin Jiao is already looking at the new suit that he made. He designs it like an assassin's suit and what made it truly unique is its ability to camouflage to different clothes. With a simple command from him, the suit can change into something that he has already programmed it to be.

Though it is just using the suit's illusion ability but the illusion is truly something fascinating.

As Shin Jiao marveled from his work, he suddenly heard the knocking on his door.

"Ah… my ride is here…" he muttered with a smile.

"Wait a minute!…" Shin Jiao said as he took off his robe and quickly put on the suit.

He felt comfortable wearing the suit on his body. It perfectly fits his body as it has an automatic fitting function.

Shin Jiao truly admired his work in the mirror.

He then said.

"Blue robe…"

'Blue cultivator's robe activated…' the female machine's voice sounded.

With his command, the suit turns into a blue cultivator's robe.

Shin Jiao turns to the door and quickly walks out. The two women were a bit surprised when the door opens and Shin Jiao's figure walks out.

"So, when are we leaving?" he asked with a smile.

"Umm… mister, can I know your name first? I don't want to just call you mister."

"Ah, silly me… I forgot to introduce myself. I am Si Ji, I came from the kingdom of Si." Shin Jiao replied while cupping his hand.

"I greet you mister Ji…"

The three figures immediately walk towards the inns counter where they left their room keys and immediately went out of the inn.

"Mister Ji, if I may confirm… You are a poison master, right?"

When Shin Jiao heard her question, he knew that she is trying to ascertain his identity. This is because he just suddenly accepted her request. Well, in truth, Shin Jiao is really a poison master. Not only that, but he can also even control, modifies, and even command poisonous substances because of the poison essence. So he can also be considered as a poison master.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head.

Song Xie was elated to his response but Yao Mai is not satisfied. So she secretly took out a small pouch in her sleeve pocket and held it in her hand.

Not long later the three of them reached the gate.

"Mister Ji, once we get out of the city, we can ride our transport carriage and go directly to the capital of Er kingdom." Song Xie said with a smile on her face.

However, as soon as they neared the gate a few figures suddenly stopped them.

"If it isn't the beauty of our school, Song Xie… I've been wondering where you've been to. It turns out that you are here with your master looking for a… gigolo. Hahaha…" a frivolous looking young man said with a grin on his handsome face.

"Oh, sorry about that teacher Mai..." he added with a sly smile on his face.

Behind the man are four strong men and two women. From what Shin Jiao can see, one of the women might also be a teacher along with the other man in the group. The rest should be a student in the Floating Lotus Alchemy School.

Shin Jiao can seem to still remember the name of that school. It was the school where Qin Lou is studying as an alchemist before. But because of her disfigured face, the school neglected her and didn't bother developing her talent.

But she was lucky enough to meet Shin Jiao which helped her in growing her talent in alchemy.

"Ling Hao Jie! How dare you slander me and my guest… I will personally rip off that smug look on your face!" shouted Song Xie.

From her sudden violent reaction, Shin Jiao can infer that the two have bad blood between them.

"Haha… as if you can fight against me."

"I have already almost crippled your third leg, if you dare go against me again, I will truly cut it off and feed them to the pigs!" said Song Xie.

When some of the passers-by heard her words, they threw looks of disdain towards Ling Hao Jie's group. Even his companions suddenly felt like they are being shamed in public for being with Ling Hao Jie's side. However, one of the young men behind Ling Hao Jie suddenly steps forwards and tried to grab Song Xie's arm. He was a loyal underling of Ling Hao Jie and was angered by the provoking words of Song Xie, so he wanted to teach her a lesson.

These students already knew that although the teachers are close to them, these teachers would not intervene with their fights and would just stop them from killing each other. Hence, Yao Mai didn't make a move along with the two teachers on Ling Hao Jie's side.

"Your mouth is too foul, let me teach you a lesson that you cannot just mess with anyone." The young man said as he tried to drag Song Xie towards him and deliver a counter punch from his other fist.

However, before the young man could move, he suddenly found his hand that's trying to drag Song Xie being held by another strong hand. He even almost winces in pain as that hand suddenly tightens its grip.

"A man should not hurt a woman… Only cowards do that." Shin Jiao said as he suddenly helps the young man's hand.

When he tightens his grip, that hand let's go of Song Xie's arm as the young man showed a pained look on his face.

"It seems that you lack discipline." Shin Jiao added.

When the other student saw this, they immediately reacted and began pouncing towards Shin Jiao. They want to teach this guy a lesson for butting in. They are students from the Floating Lotus Alchemy School and they view themselves as higher than others as their school has produced a genius alchemist which is now a princess in the empire.

So they are proud of their bone and didn't want others to trample on their pride. They can now see the sorry state of the young man that tried to be a hero to save the damsel in distress. And this made the young people excited.

But the reality is different from their imagination.

They soon found themselves groaning in pain at the side of the walls as they were sent flying by the young man which does not have any spiritual undulation.

"You're a magus warrior…" one of the teachers muttered as she looks at Shin Jiao.

She has seen and heard of these fighters. Unlike mages who can wield the elements and use them freely, magus warriors are people who can enhance their bodies to fight. They are actually like cultivators in a sense, but the only difference is that magus warriors can't use spells. This is the reason why most of them ride those metallic golems.

When everyone heard her words, they all look at Shin Jiao with astonishment. They have also heard and seen of these magus warriors before and they truly found them fascinating.

"Teachers, you should make your move. He hurt my classmates and he is not a student in our alchemy school. This is a provocation!" suddenly Ling Hao Jie shouted which jolted the two teachers to wake from their stupor.

"Ahem… young man, I suggest you stop right now. We will let this pass if you don't interfere with this issue." The man said with a hidden glint in his eye.

How could Shin Jiao not see the hidden scheme in his expression? But as a nascent realm expert, Shin Jiao didn't want to deal with these petty things anymore as he wanted to already use the teleportation portal in the capital city and directly go to the capital of Yi kingdom and see Susan Tang again.

"I am warning you guys, right here, right now. Stop this now… We need to go our way and not be hindered by your petty squabble. If you continue to block our path, I will personally send you all to hell." Shin Jiao said with a domineering tone.

When the two teachers and students heard his words, they all showed a mocking look on their faces. Although the young man is a strong magus warrior, there are seven cultivators in front of him and the lowest cultivation level amongst them is a 5th level gold core realm. How could they let him go after threatening their group like that?

"Mister Ji…" Song Xie was a bit afraid and tried to hold Shin Jiao.

"You wanted your parent to be cured as soon as possible, right?"

Hearing Shin Jiao's question, Song Xie nodded her head in agreement.

"Then follow behind me." Shin Jiao said as he took a step forward.

His action made the two teachers and Yao Mai frown.

"This guy is too impulsive… He is truly still too young…" Yao Mai thought.

Suddenly, the male teacher extended his hand and put it on Shin Jiao's shoulder to stop him.

"Young man, you seem to be disrespectful towards us… I am willing to teach you a small lesson in humility." The male teacher said with the corner of his mouth slightly curving up.

Shin Jiao just looks at him in the eye.

"Remove your hand, or you can pick it up after." Shin Jiao said with a stern and cold tone.

Everyone in the area showed a mocking look on their eyes. This is because everyone can see that the man who stood in front of Shin Jiao has very strong cultivation. The man has already reached the 6th level of the infant soul realm. And with this level, they knew his strength is not something a gold core realm can take.

Hence they showed both mocking look and pity in their eyes.

Shin Jiao nonchalantly looks at the man and lifted his hand.
