Qin Wentian nodded his head in agreement. In the world of cultivation, there was indeed no such thing as fairness and justice. Back then when he killed Orfon, if it wasn't for his outstanding talent, how could the Emperor Star Academy spare him?
"However, even though the world is like this, humans still have to have their own beliefs. I admire people with character, even if they don't abide by the rules, but I hate those who are too egotistical. These kinds of people would only care about their own benefits. For example, if the Emperor Star Academy nurtured them, and one day, they would become a powerhouse, and if someone offered them greater benefits, they would destroy the Emperor Star Academy."
Ren Qianxing laughed as he continued, "But you, are different. Last year, during the sacrificial ceremony, the Ye Clan wanted to destroy the Qin Clan. You could have joined the Star River Association, but you didn't. Instead, you chose to advance and retreat together with the Qin Clan. Although you are a little foolish, this is the personality I like."
This matter was known by everyone in Sky Harmony City. Mustang was also in Sky Harmony City back then, so it wasn't surprising that Ren Qianxing knew about it. A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face as he asked, "Seems like Senior's philosophy is similar to Teacher Mustang's. Is Senior the Headmaster?"
"No." Ren Qianxing shook his head. "I'm the second person, the one who was imprisoned for many years. Naturally, since it's just a rumor, you can't believe it completely. It's just that I rarely appear in the public eye."
"Seems like the Emperor Star Academy has many secrets." Qin Wentian silently mused.
"Senior, I've caused quite a bit of trouble this time around. I'm afraid I've caused trouble for the Emperor Star Academy." Qin Wentian shifted his gaze onto Ren Qianxing.
"You want to know how the Emperor Star Academy will handle this matter, as well as the reason why they called you here, right?" Ren Qianxing's eyes gleamed with wisdom, causing Qin Wentian to smile awkwardly.
"This little bit of trouble is nothing to the Emperor Star Academy, but you've caused so much trouble for yourself." Ren Qianxing casually replied, "The Emperor Star Academy has a history of over a few thousand years. Regardless of Elders or students, their way of doing things is different. But precisely because of this, the students of the academy have a strong sense of competition. This is the only way the academy is complete."
"The Emperor Star Academy has never imparted ideals to its students. It only teaches cultivation, and doesn't care what kind of person you will become in the future. This is precisely the reason why the Emperor Star Academy has such a transcendent status. The matter between you and Orchon, the Emperor Star Academy will not interfere. This place is merely a platform. How high you can soar, will depend on yourselves."
Ren Qianxing laughed, "As for the reason why I invited you here, it's because I wanted to see what kind of person you are. Now that I've met you, you can go back now."
"Uh." Qin Wentian blinked. "That's it?"
"What do you want?" Ren Qianxing looked into Qin Wentian's eyes and smiled.
"And here I thought that I would be pleasantly surprised after meeting a legendary character of the academy." Qin Wentian rubbed his chin as he laughed.
"Haha." Ren Qianxing laughed uproariously. "Fine, if you want a surprise, I'll give it to you."
Ren Qianxing retrieved a small golden sword the size of a finger, yet it exuded a terrifying sharpness.
"This is the Gold-Punisher Sword, a 3rd-level Divine Weapon. However, it can only be used once. As long as the Divine Imprints within are activated, the Gold-Punisher Sword will explode forth with a terrifying sword Qi. If the sword Qi completely hits the target, even a cultivator at the 5th level of Yuanfu wouldn't be able to evade it. The area of effect of the sword Qi is extremely wide, so you must be careful when using it."
A sharp glint of light flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes. What a precious gift. He himself knew that if it was a 3rd-level Divine Weapon, he wouldn't be able to unleash its full power. However, this Gold-Punisher Sword was different. It was a single-use Divine Weapon, and could be used as a life-saving trump card.
"In the academy, I won't give you any special privileges. If you want resources, you have to fight for them yourself. There are many terrifying innate techniques and cultivation arts in the Heavenly Star Pavilion. If you have the ability, go and get them yourself. As for the Gold-Punisher Sword, I gave it to you because you are not safe in the Royal Capital. Unless you are in a life or death situation, don't use it."
"Many thanks, Old Ren." Qin Wentian felt gratitude in his heart. Indeed, he needed such a life-saving trump card. After all, there were many people who wanted his life. Not to mention the Royal Clan and the Ye Clan, he wouldn't even be able to deal with Orchon.
"You can go, but don't tell anyone that you've met me, including Mustang." Ren Qianxing waved his hands at Qin Wentian.
"Wentian shall take his leave." Qin Wentian bowed slightly to Ren Qianxing before turning and departing. On the face of the youth, a smile as bright as the sun could be seen. It was hard to imagine that such a youth would have the same craziness as when he killed Murong Feng that day.
Staring at the departing back view of the youth, the corners of Ren Qianxing's mouth curled up in a smile. This little fellow was even more interesting than him in the past.
"You really can't stay idle." At this moment, a silhouette drifted over from the void.
"How is it? Are you prepared to include him in your plans?" That person laughed.
Ren Qianxing shifted his gaze to the person who had just arrived. "There shouldn't be any problems with his talent. As for his character, at least from the looks of it now, there shouldn't be any problems."
"He just entered the academy not too long ago and already caused such a huge commotion. Aren't you worried that he would become another him?" That person laughed.
"Young and frivolous, it's not a big deal. Wasn't I the same when I was young? As for what you said, I will consider it. Let's just continue to observe." Ren Qianxing shook his head as a bitter smile appeared on his face. Back then, he had also regarded a youth highly. But in the end, he discovered that he had raised a ferocious wolf that had almost brought a calamity to the Emperor Star Academy.
As he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but ache. Back then, he had regarded that fellow with great importance. But the things that happened afterwards caused him to feel bitter and bitter.
After Qin Wentian descended the mountain, he headed back to his residence. As he walked through the academy, several gazes landed on him, as expressions of interest could be seen on their faces.
"It's Qin Wentian. I heard that he was sent to the Disciplinary Hall, but today, he walked out unscathed. Evidently, the academy has no plans to punish him."
"Talent is a privilege. If it was a higher year student who killed a genius like Murong Feng, the consequences would be dire. However, Qin Wentian defeated Murong Feng head-on. Not only that, he jumped levels to do so. Not only that, his talent is even stronger than Murong Feng's. The title of the top ranker amongst the new students has already changed hands."
Within the academy, many people were whispering to each other. If this was the case, things were getting more and more interesting. Janus and the Knight's Association would definitely be infuriated. They would definitely not let Qin Wentian off so easily.
Qin Wentian quickened his pace as he walked towards his residence. Even before he arrived, he had already called out, "Fatty."
Fan Le's head popped out as he walked towards Qin Wentian.
"Fatty, how's your injury?" Qin Wentian contemplated Fan Le, only to see Fan Le grinning as he replied, "It's nothing serious. Why don't we take a walk around the academy?"
"It's good that you're fine." Qin Wentian couldn't help but have a look of bewilderment on his face when he saw the flickering look in Fan Le's eyes. At this moment, a light sound drifted out from within the room.
"Who's inside?" Qin Wentian asked as his eyes flickered.
"Little Rascal is moving around inside, let's go." Fan Le pulled Qin Wentian along, but Qin Wentian didn't budge. Instead, he walked towards the dormitory, and very quickly, he saw a silhouette walking out with his head lowered.
Sheena's dainty hands clutched onto her robes, her face flushed red. She lifted her head and sneaked a glance at Qin Wentian, and upon seeing the stunned expression on Qin Wentian's face, her face instantly turned boiling hot.
"It's not what you think, I'm … I'm only here to see him." Sheena stuttered.
"I understand." Qin Wentian looked at Sheena and nodded his head, causing Sheena's face to turn even redder. Stomping her feet, she glared at Fan Le, "It's all your fault."
After speaking, she turned and walked away, leaving Qin Wentian staring at Fan Le with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He was still worried about Fatty on the way here, but it seemed like his worries were all for naught.
"Fatty, you're really something." Qin Wentian flashed a thumbs up.
"Although I know you won't believe me no matter what I say, I still have to say it. I really don't have any other feelings for Sheena." Fatty stared at the shameless expression on Qin Wentian's face as he suddenly put on a serious expression. "Actually, the person I like, is you."
Qin Wentian's face was filled with black lines. This time around, it was Fatty's turn to laugh shamelessly as he hummed a little tune. Qin Wentian was completely defeated.
"Let's go to the Glory Courtyard to raise the grade of our Emperor Star Jade Medallions." Fan Le lifted his foot, as a smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. After which, the two of them went to the Glory Courtyard, where the Elders directly raised the grade of their Emperor Star Jade Medallions to the 3rd grade.
Although that battle had caused great waves of commotion, Qin Wentian and Fan Le had indeed gained the upper hand when they fought against Murong Feng and Du Hao. Naturally, the two of them replaced their opponents in the rankings, becoming the top three. Hence, they could directly raise the grade of their Emperor Star Jade Medallions.
After raising the grade of their medallions, the two of them went to the Heavenly Star Pavilion. A 3rd grade Jade Medallion would allow them to enter the 3rd level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion.
The Heavenly Star Pavilion was divided into nine levels, and each level contained many cultivation arts and innate techniques of different grades. Qin Wentian and Fan Le directly went to the 3rd level. The cultivation arts here were all at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm, while the innate techniques were all at the high-grade of the Mortal Realm.
The Dragon Subduing Fist was a high-grade human-grade innate technique.
In the hearts of the students of the Emperor Star Academy, there was a question. What was above the 6th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion? Stepping into the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion was the dream of every student in the Emperor Star Academy.
It was said that once upon a time, there was a person who had accomplished an astonishing feat. However, that person betrayed the Emperor Star Academy and almost caused the destruction of the Emperor Star Academy. The Emperor Star Academy had never mentioned this part of history.
