Chapter 1204: A Storm Is Brewing
The night was spent in sadness.
The next morning, Luo Tian arrived early at the entrance of the Misty Cloud Academy.
Ren Xiaoyao was also early, waiting for him at the academy gate.
Today was the last day of registration for the second round of assessment, and all those who passed the first round of assessment had come. With the addition of more than a thousand new disciples suddenly added by the Hai family, the academy gate was now crowded and noisy.
The registration line was very long.
Luo Tian clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, “I thought I came early, but I didn’t expect everyone to be earlier than me!”
Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly and said, “Follow me.”
The two walked towards the front of the line.
Ren Xiaoyao came to the registration place and said with a smile, “Little Zhu, this is Luo Tian.”
The young man called Little Zhu acted as if he hadn’t seen Ren Xiaoyao and said coldly, “Go line up!”
Ren Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned before continuing, “His name was reported by Dean Huangfu yesterday; you just need to register it.”
“Go line up!”
Each word was spoken heavily, and he still didn’t look up at Ren Xiaoyao.
There was a trace of contempt on his face.
Ren Xiaoyao was the Vice Dean yesterday, and even if he was demoted, he was still a mentor and an old-timer in the academy. This guy didn’t even give him this little bit of face?
Not only was he not giving face, but he was also showing disgust.
Ren Xiaoyao hid his frown and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to become a member of the Hai family as well. But he was personally reported by Dean Huangfu, you…”
Zhu Dacheng rudely interrupted Ren Xiaoyao and sneered, “Dean Huangfu reported the name, right? Then go find Vice Dean Huangfu to register him.”
The tone of voice was extremely arrogant.
After saying that, he suddenly said, “Tsk~, does he think he’s still the Vice Dean? Why doesn’t he take a look at what his position is now? Just an ordinary teacher, and he wants to show off in front of me? Humph~!”
Utter disdain!
He didn’t put Ren Xiaoyao in his eyes at all.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned again, revealing a displeased expression.
At this time, Tian Yihong hurried over from the other side and shouted angrily, “Zhu Dacheng, why are you talking to him like that?! Back then, you were brought into the Misty Cloud Academy by Vice Dean Ren! Have you forgotten it after only a few years?! Such an ungrateful thing!”
Zhu Dacheng sneered, “Did I need him to bring me in? I relied on my own strength. Tian Yihong, you better pay attention to your words, and don’t associate me with this old thing. What good life can you have from following him?” Ȑ𝘼𝐍ỗ₿Èș
Luo Tian couldn’t stand it anymore.
This wasn’t just making things difficult, but purely insulting now.
Moreover, when Zhu Dacheng was speaking, he kept staring at Luo Tian coldly.
He was obviously just targeting Luo Tian!
Right after that, Luo Tian pulled on Ren Xiaoyao’s clothes and said, “Elder Ren, let’s go line up.”
Tian Yihong was fuming.
Luo Tian then said, “Elder Tian, why should we bother with what a dog says?”
Zhu Dacheng’s eyes widened like a cat getting its tail stepped on. He suddenly jumped up and shouted, “Kid, who are you calling a dog?!”
Luo Tian was not afraid at all. With Tian Yihong and Ren Xiaoyao, two great experts, here, did he need to fear Zhu Dacheng? He smiled and replied, “Whoever answers is the one I’m calling a dog.”
“You are courting death!”
Zhu Dacheng looked like he wanted to slap Luo Tian right that instant.
But before he could attack, Ren Xiaoyao’s Holy Spirit 6th rank pressure came crashing down like a heavy thunder. Zhu Dacheng was instantly crushed to the ground, his face pale and his expression pained.
Tian Yihong said contemptuously, “You ungrateful thing.”
Right after that, the three of them walked towards the back of the line.
Just after they left the registration office, several people in the crowd wearing the clothing of a Hai family disciple had a gloomy expression on their faces. One of them said in a low voice, “That kid is Luo Tian.”
“Have you remembered his appearance?”
“This is the first task the Hai family has given us. If we can’t even solve this Martial Void realm trash, then what qualifications do we have to stay in the Hai family?”
“Just him? Hehehe …just wait and see. I can kill him with one finger.”
“Don’t underestimate him. He can kill super grade talent martial artists, so he is not simple. And the cultivation techniques he uses are very strange, some of which we have never even seen before. When we enter the assessment ground later, we will slowly play him to death.”
Each Hai family disciple had Luo Tian’s appearance imprinted in their minds!
This was their first task for the second round of assessment.
A task that must be completed!
Apart from the Hai family, there were also other people who were paying attention to Luo Tian.
Luo Tian was at the end of the line, looking around, trying to find Bai Xiong, Lin Dong, and Bai Lingling. But there were simply too many people around, so he couldn’t find them after searching for a long time.
Even though Luo Tian couldn’t find them, Lin Dong and the other two found Luo Tian!
However, their appearance now was different from before, and their aura was also different.
Also, the names they were going by were different.
It was like they had completely changed into another person.
In addition to this, their bodies were also different from before.
Bai Lingling tried really hard to control herself, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lin Dong said in a low voice, “Control yourself, and don’t let the boss find us. Otherwise, he will be in even more danger.”
Bai Xiong looked at Luo Tian’s figure in the distance and clenched his fists under his sleeves. He then said to himself, “Boss, we’re in the wrong, but don’t worry, we will definitely not let you down.”
Registration finally ended after a whole day.
Luo Tian successfully registered and received a wooden identity plaque.
At evening time, the Misty Cloud Academy’s open athletic field was filled with people.
There were as many as 50,000!
These people were all the most outstanding martial artists among the younger generation on the Central Continent, except for those with super grade talents.
Luo Tian didn’t recognize any of these martial artists except for Liu Zhan, whom he had a brief encounter with yesterday.
“The three people you mentioned aren’t here. They are on the list for the second round, but they didn’t come. If it’s really as you said, then they may have been disguised by the Hai family, and it is very likely that they have been controlled by the Hai family.” Tian Yihong walked to Luo Tian and said in a low voice.
Luo Tian’s heart sank as he said to Tian Yihong, “Thank you, Elder Tian.”
Tian Yihong hesitated for a moment but finally said, “Luo Tian, I don’t know how good your relationship is with them, but many things in this world can change in an instant. Don’t trust anyone in the assessment venue, no one!”
Even though it wasn’t very polite to say that, he was doing it for Luo Tian’s sake.
Among the more than 50,000 martial artists, how many were from the Hai family?
No one knew for sure!
Luo Tian didn’t know them or recognize them, but the people from the Hai family recognized him, so he could be in danger at any time.
Moreover, since the Hai family can put disguises on Lin Dong and the others, they can naturally make people disguise themselves as Lin Dong and the other two!
