First Trial: Law of Space
Chapter 503: First Trial
"What rules?" Xia Fei's expression darkened as he coldly said, "I don't give a damn about the rules forbidding private fights. In three seconds, one of us must die here!"
Callous!
Unreasonable!
Xia Fei raised a hand, his fingertip pointing at the pale-skinned man who had just provoked him. There was no room for argument or refusal!
The words of these people stirred up the wildness in Xia Fei's heart. Those who were familiar with him would know that beneath Xia Fei's thin and weak appearance was a warrior's heart that despised all rules!
The pale-skinned man furrowed his eyebrows. Private fights in the dormitory was an ironclad rule of the Yu family. If he really fought with Xia Fei, he would surely be severely punished. As one of the aristocratic families of the Law Realm, the Yu family punished those who broke the rules severely. They would not care who made the first move.
"You're being unreasonable! Private fights aren't allowed in the dormitory; that's the rule! I'll definitely let you know my prowess on the training field tomorrow! "The pale-skinned man was somewhat troubled.
"Tomorrow?" Xia Fei smiled. "You won't have a tomorrow!"
* Whoosh ~ *
The three seconds were up. Since this pale-skinned man was unwilling to make the first move, Xia Fei had no choice but to make the first move!
With October Flying Snow in hand, the living room was instantly filled with a chill.
His figure flashed forward, his frosty dagger stabbing right into the other's mouth. Xia Fei wanted to see which was stronger: his sharp tongue or the October Flying Snow in his hand!
"Stop!"
A thunderous voice suddenly rang out, and the entire living room shook violently. Many people covered their ears in pain as they fell to the ground!
* Squelch! *
Just as October Flying Snow was about to enter the pale-skinned man's mouth, Xia Fei could clearly see the cold sweat on his face and the fear in his eyes. At this critical moment, he was suddenly flung away by a powerful force!
It was as if he had been hit by a jet. By the time Xia Fei realized what had happened, he was already at the corner of the room, and October Flying Snow was stuck in one of the walls!
"Private fights aren't allowed in the dormitory! It seems to me that you're tired of living! Get lost! "A middle-aged man with a short beard stood at the door with a cold face and said angrily.
Everyone was like a mouse that had seen a cat the moment they saw him, scurrying back to their own rooms. That pale-skinned young man glared at Xia Fei and strode back to his room, saying, See you tomorrow, Xia Fei.
Xia Fei wanted to launch another attack, but his body felt like it was being held down by someone.
The only people left in the living room were the middle-aged man with the short beard and Xia Fei. The middle-aged man plopped down on the sofa and spat, "Starting a private fight on the first day you arrived. Truly the rumored troublesome fellow."
Xia Fei suddenly felt his body relax. He knew that this middle-aged man had released his hold on him. Just now, he had suddenly been sent from the center of the living room to a corner, his body confined to a space of less than one square meter. This was most likely the power of law, and this middle-aged man was clearly a Law Warrior!
"I'm Gu Tong, the instructor of the Law apprentices. Why did you suddenly kill him just now?"
Xia Fei loosened his shoulders and softly said, "These people insulted me, so I'm just returning the favor."
Gu Tong frowned. "Returning the favor? Is there a need to kill him? You were clearly trying to take Han Yuubei's life! "
"Han Yuubei?" Xia Fei secretly memorized this name and said, "Since I've already decided to make a move, then I'm an enemy, and I don't like living enemies."
Gu Tong's two eyes glinted. "What an overbearing answer, but unfortunately, you're overestimating yourself!"
"Han Yuubei is about to break through his limit and become a Law Warrior in the next few days. Your special ability is very powerful, but having special abilities isn't enough in the Law Realm. You still don't understand the power of law, which is why you're saying that.
"Besides, Han Yuubei isn't wrong. You're in the Law Realm, yet you don't have the ability to learn law. If you're not trash, then what are you?" Gu Tong said bluntly.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth, his face livid.
"You think they insulted you? Fine then. Come with me; I'll show you what true insult is! "
With that, Gu Tong stood up and turned to leave, with Xia Fei following behind him.
Walking along the narrow and dark path for about three to four miles, they arrived at an open dirt field. In the center of the field was a large white boulder. Gu Tong came to stand in front of the boulder and pointed at the pattern on it. "Didn't you come to the Law Realm to learn law? I'll tell you how to learn it now. "
Xia Fei stared at the pattern on the boulder. It was similar to the Law of Primal Chaos on his left arm. This pattern was also profound and complex, with countless lines and curves intertwining like a sky full of stars. It was endless, and just staring at the pattern for a moment would cause one to feel dizzy.
"This is the first level of the Law of Space. If you can see through this pattern, you'll become a qualified Law Warrior!"
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. The Law of Space, one of the Three Great Laws, had actually been erected in this open field by the Yu family? Since this was the first level of the Law of Space, then there must be even more profound second and third levels elsewhere!
"Everyone's seventh brain region contains a strand of energy. It's like an extremely thin thread, entwined and entrenched in the brain region. Can you try to use this energy thread?" Gu Tong asked.
Xia Fei nodded. In the past, he had also used this energy thread in his brain region, releasing it to surround his body. This way, he would be able to clearly know if anyone approached him while he was resting.
"Now, control this thread and start moving along the pattern, attempting to form the same pattern in your brain region as the stone tablet. If you can complete the first pattern in your brain region, you'll have the cultivation of a Primary Law Warrior, and if you can complete it twice, you'll be at level 2.
"So on and so forth. The more you complete it, the higher your rank will be. This is also why warriors with their seventh brain region completely open are called geniuses. The width of their brain region will directly affect the maximum number of patterns they can hold, allowing them to learn more laws, and more powerful laws!
"Your brain region is completely open, which is very good. Now that I've told you how to learn law, you can try and do as I say to prove that you're not a cripple!"
Xia Fei was invigorated!
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that this so-called law was actually an attempt to form a pattern in his brain region! The Law of Primal Chaos had been on his right arm for more than two years now. He had always wanted to try and decipher this pattern, but he had never thought of using such a method to draw it!
Xia Fei hurriedly sent his mental energy into his brain region, attempting to use that mysterious thread in his brain region. He had used this thread countless times in the past, so he was very familiar with it from the start.
However, when Xia Fei tried to use the thread to draw the pattern, the nightmare began!
An intense pain spread from his brain to his entire body. It was as if a million steel needles were stabbing into his heart, and the pain was unbearable!
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and persevered. Aside from the pain, the thread was also completely out of his control. After moving along the first layer of the pattern, he began to lose control of the thread. The pattern that had just formed became chaotic, and Xia Fei had no choice but to start all over again.
The pain and chaos made Xia Fei mentally and physically exhausted!
He sat there from afternoon all the way to evening. The artificial sun set and the sky was filled with stars, but Xia Fei had gained nothing. Instead, his face grew paler and paler.
"Can you replicate this pattern?" Gu Tong asked in a deep voice.
Xia Fei shook his head, his eyes filled with desolation.
"Now do you understand why you're being mocked? You can't even replicate the pattern, so how can you grasp the profound Law and even use it?
"Being in the Law Realm and not being able to learn Law is simply a joke!"
With that said, Gu Tong turned around and strode off, leaving Xia Fei alone on the empty dirt field, along with the stars that filled the sky and the cold wind.
Disappointment.
A sense of disappointment that he had never felt before arose, and Xia Fei felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Phantom sighed and accompanied Xia Fei as he sat on the dirt field. He did not try to convince Xia Fei to give up, for giving up had never been Xia Fei's style.
Xia Fei did not move an inch from late night to the next dawn.
He did not know how many times he had tried to replicate the pattern, but he had not succeeded.
As a beginner, failing to succeed was not scary. What was scary was that Xia Fei was not making any progress!
One percent. Xia Fei could only control this thread to replicate one percent of the pattern, and due to his excessive fatigue, he was not even able to complete one percent. More than ten hours had passed, and not only was he not making any progress, he was even slowly regressing.
Reality was just this cruel. Oftentimes, one's effort would not be rewarded at all.
More and more people gathered on the dirt field, and everyone curiously looked at this pale-faced fellow, unsure why he was sitting there like a statue.
Bad news always spread fast, and after a morning, everyone knew of Xia Fei's story. A genius from the mortal world had fought his way to the Law Realm. This was supposed to be quite an inspiring story, but it was a pity that he suddenly realized that he did not have the ability to learn Law after reaching the Law Realm.
As a result, the story was no longer as inspiring, and it became a huge joke instead.
There were people coming and going, and many of them had even transferred to see Xia Fei. There were not many interesting things happening in the Law Realm, and Xia Fei's glorious deeds just so happened to be the best spice of life for these warriors. Everyone was laughing and talking about his exciting journey from genius to trash.
A gap appeared in the crowd, and Han Yuubei led a group of Law disciples over from afar, looking very pleased with himself.
"Xia Fei, I have to thank you properly. Last night, your provocation actually gave me the motivation to learn. I just passed the test and officially became a Law Warrior," Han Yuubei said proudly.
"Consider yourself lucky. Law Warriors can't bully disciples. Let's compete again when you become a Law Warrior one day."
With that, Han Yuubei suddenly slapped his head and laughed. "Oh my! How did I forget? Your seventh brain region is spoiled, so you'll have to wait until your next life to become a Law Warrior like me. "
Everyone laughed in unison, regardless of whether they knew Xia Fei or not.
Xia Fei stood up amidst the ridicule of this group, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
"Xia Fei, you have to calm down!" Phantom hurriedly said.
"I'm very calm." Xia Fei stuffed both his hands into his pockets. "I just want to remember the smug looks on these people's faces."
Turning around, Xia Fei walked away without another word, and the crowd burst into laughter once more.
…
Back in the dormitory, the disciples were helping Han Yuubei pack his luggage. He was already a Law Warrior, so he could move to a private residence with a better environment, no longer squeezing together with the other disciples.
Xia Fei silently walked upstairs amidst the laughter, his figure lonely and desolate.
Closing the door, the Blood Demon Claw was placed on the only table. Xia Fei propped up his chin with both hands and stared at this plant that was unwilling to mature.
Its leaves were slowly turning red, and it was getting closer and closer to its seventh maturity.
