The teachers of the Emperor Star Academy were all shaken. They stood up, their countenances extremely unsightly as they stared at the scene on the stage.
Today was the last day of the ranking battle, and there were many students from the Outer Academy who came to spectate. But today, on the stage, there were actually two students who wanted to kill Orfon.
In the history of the Emperor Star Academy, such a brazen act had never happened before.
"As expected of students from the Emperor Star Academy. Not a single one of them would know their place." Some of the teachers from the Outer Academy had smiles on their faces as they witnessed this scene. Geniuses were always arrogant, especially when a group of geniuses were gathered in the same place. It was inevitable that they would clash with each other.
The Emperor Star Academy was known as the cradle of geniuses in the Chu Country. Many of the students there were arrogant and untamed, and were the most difficult to tame. Hence, the teachers of the Emperor Star Academy were all extremely powerful.
On the spectator stands, there were also many old students like Luo Huan and Orchon. Their lips curled into a faint smile as they silently mused, "Interesting, the Emperor Star Academy has another troublemaker. And this time around, there were two of them. I wonder if their strength is as great as their guts."
Janus walked down the stage step by step, staring at Qin Wentian as he coldly stated, "In the history of the Emperor Star Academy, there has never been such an impudent student."
"Now, there is." Qin Wentian stared at Janus as he coldly replied.
"There has to be someone who can lead the way." Fan Le grinned. At this moment, he had also walked to the side of Qin Wentian. Staring at Orfon's enraged eyes, Fatty accidentally placed his foot on Orfon's palm and twisted it, causing Orfon to howl in agony. The pain from his palm caused him to grit his teeth in anger.
Fatty lowered his head, looking at Orfon apologetically as he smiled, "Sorry, I didn't see it."
Although this was what he said, the force of Fatty's foot increased, causing Orfon's screams to become even more shrill. The spectators all rolled their eyes. This fellow was so shameless!
"Do you see it now?" Killing intent gushed forth from Orchon's body as he slowly approached Orfon.
Fatty stared at Orchon as he increased the force of his foot, causing tears to flow from Orfon's eyes.
"I saw it, but I didn't move my eyes away." Fatty grinned at Orchon. He would never forget the look of contempt in Orchon's eyes that day.
Fatty was very vengeful.
"Stop." Qin Wentian coldly spat out. In his hands, the Astral Heavenly Hammer gleamed with a resplendent light as it smashed down towards Orfon's head. As long as this hammer smashed down, Orfon would instantly lose his life.
Janus, Orchon, and the rest stopped in their tracks. Since they had met two lunatics, even if they were infuriated, they had no choice but to endure.
"What do you want?" Janus stared at the two of them as he asked. This was the first time he felt so aggrieved in front of these two students. As long as he could rescue Orfon, he would definitely make sure that Qin Wentian and Fan Le would die a horrible death.
"You'll have to ask my boss about that. I'm very low-key." Fatty smiled and threw the question to Qin Wentian. The crowd rolled their eyes when they heard what he said.
Fatty was really very low-key …
Fan Le was extremely angry about what happened in the Dark Forest. Hence, he didn't hold back and chose to seek revenge. However, in his heart, Fan Le was very clear that the source of this matter was none other than Qin Wentian.
He and Qin Wentian stood shoulder to shoulder on the stage, facing the storm together. However, he had also handed the final decision to Qin Wentian.
Fatty was very 'low-key', but he wasn't cowardly at all. Since he was standing here, it meant that no matter what decision Qin Wentian made, he would have to bear the consequences together with Qin Wentian.
"Shameless Fatty, but he's actually very loyal." How intelligent was Luo Huan? Her beautiful eyes shone with a brilliant light. She discovered that although she had just met this Fatty, she also liked this low-key and shameless Fatty the same way she liked Qin Wentian.
"Fatty, if we spare Orfon, do you think Orchon will apologize to us and let us go?" Qin Wentian laughed as he gazed at Fan Le.
"He won't." Fan Le shook his head. "Back in the Dark Forest, he already wanted our lives. Now, I'm afraid he wants us even more. Even if we kneel down and beg for mercy, the result would still be the same."
"Seems like it." Qin Wentian mumbled, his words causing the countenances of Janus and Orchon to turn even more unsightly. From their conversation, it seemed as though they had completely disregarded them, and had no intentions of letting Orfon off.
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze towards Mustang, who was also walking up the stage. Smiling, he asked, "Teacher Mustang, I have a few questions I'd like to consult you on."
"Go ahead." Mustang replied.
"If you have no grudges with someone, but someone wants to kill you, and in addition, almost succeeded several times, what would you do if that person landed in your hands?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I'd kill him." Mustang replied.
"His clan is extremely powerful." Qin Wentian asked again.
"I won't kill him. His clan is still extremely powerful." Mustang replied.
"Mustang!" Janus roared in rage. Who were these people? How could the crowd not understand the meaning behind their conversation? Mustang was instigating Qin Wentian.
At this moment, the crowd understood that Orfon definitely wanted to kill Qin Wentian and Fan Le. Hence, they didn't care about the consequences, directly walking up the stage and trampling Orfon beneath their feet. They even dared to challenge the prestige of the Emperor Star Academy.
Before this, when Qin Wentian and Fan Le were discussing how to deal with Orfon, both of them came to an agreement.
Regardless of whether they killed Orfon or not, the result would be the same. Hence, the conclusion they came to was – kill!
Now, the meaning behind the conversation between Qin Wentian and Mustang was even more thought-provoking. Qin Wentian was asking for Mustang's opinion. Naturally, he used a veiled tone to ask for Mustang's opinion, but everyone could hear it clearly.
Regardless of whether they killed Orfon or not, the power of the Ou Clan was there for all to see. They would definitely deal with Qin Wentian. There was no doubt about this. Hence, whether they killed Orfon or not, to Qin Wentian, there was no difference.
"Mustang, the iron-clad rule of the Emperor Star Academy forbids students from engaging in life and death battles within the academy grounds. You should know the consequences of violating this rule." Janus's tone was filled with an intense coldness. Mustang actually dared to express his stance in public, hinting at Qin Wentian.
"Qin Wentian." Mustang stared at Qin Wentian as he continued, "In the history of the Emperor Star Academy, there have been three cases where students killed others within the academy grounds."
"One of them, the student who killed the other was executed on the spot."
"Another time, the student who killed the other was imprisoned in a forbidden area for a total of 50 years. After which, he swore that he would never step out of the Emperor Star Academy, and that he was willing to take up a position within the academy."
Mustang's words caused the countenances of the crowd to turn solemn. The iron-clad rule of the Emperor Star Academy was simply too strict. Within the academy grounds, no one was allowed to kill anyone. If not, the consequences would be extremely severe. Because of the existence of the iron-clad rule, nobody dared to act recklessly within the academy grounds.
"What about the other time?" Qin Wentian stared at Mustang as he asked. If that was really a path to death, then what was the meaning of the conversation he had with Mustang earlier?
"The other time, the student who killed the other is currently the Headmaster of the Emperor Star Academy."
Mustang's calm voice caused the atmosphere to abruptly turn silent. They all knew how strict the iron-clad rule of the Emperor Star Academy was, especially when it came to killing fellow students within the academy grounds.
However, very few people knew of this history. The current Headmaster of the Emperor Star Academy was one of the students who had violated the iron-clad rule.
Qin Wentian stared into Mustang's eyes. He didn't ask why, because he already understood.
Three students, three completely different fates. One died, one worked for the Emperor Star Academy, and one became the Headmaster of the Emperor Star Academy.
Three different fates, because the value of the three of them to the Emperor Star Academy was completely different.
The students of the Emperor Star Academy were all thorns. They came from all over the Emperor Star Academy, and all of them had extraordinary talent. The Emperor Star Academy had never cared about how thorny you were, or how arrogant you were. What they cared about was whether you had the capital to be thorny, and whether you had the capital to be arrogant.
Geniuses were arrogant, self-confidence, and arrogance. Mediocre people were arrogant, conceited, and foolish.
In this world, other than blood relatives, no one owed anyone anything. If you wanted others to do something for you, you had to first prove what you could give to them. Qin Wentian had already understood this logic when he was at the Star River Association in the Sky Harmony City. He didn't agree to Murin's conditions, which was why Murin chose to betray him in exchange for the benefits of the Ye Clan.
This was reality. It was extremely naked.
And now, he, Qin Wentian, was once again faced with a choice. Regardless of whether he killed Orfon or not, the Ou Clan and Orchon would still want Qin Wentian dead. Hence, there was no need to consider them.
The only thing Qin Wentian needed to consider was the attitude of the Emperor Star Academy.
Qin Wentian inclined his head, as he stared at Orchon. A radiant smile could be seen on his face, as though there was already an answer in his clear eyes.
In the Sky Harmony City, he and the Qin Clan were forced into such a miserable state by the Ye Clan. In the Royal Capital of Chu, Janus made things difficult for him, and Orfon wanted to kill him. In front of him, there was the Ye Clan, the Ou Clan, and even the most terrifying power in Chu, the Royal Clan.
This time around, if he chose to endure and let Orfon off, the Ye Clan and the Ou Clan would only scorn him for his cowardice. In the Royal Capital of Chu, the answer was very simple!
Hence, to him, the answer was actually very simple!
