At this moment, the young man who had luckily escaped arrived before the two of them. Looking at the pale-faced young man who had been kicked twice by Jianchen, he asked in concern, "Luo Yun, are you alright?"
The young man called Luo Yun shook his head slightly and said weakly, "It's not a big problem. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." He then changed his tone and looked at the uninjured young man, "Karl, you're more well-informed in the academy. Find out who that person is as soon as possible and get young master Cheng to deal with him."
The young man called Karl pondered for a moment before replying, "There's no need to investigate. I might already know who he is."
The other two beamed with joy. Luo Yun said, "That's great. Karl, who is that person?"
"Among the new students this year, there's one person who's especially powerful. He defeated Ka Diyun, who had condensed a Saint Weapon and become a Saint, with just the strength of the eighth layer of Saint Force. He might be that person," Karl's voice was rather heavy.
Karl's words made their expressions change slightly. They looked at each other before Luo Yun said softly, "Could he be Changyang Shōten?"
Karl nodded, "It's very possible. Among the new students this year, probably only Changyang Shōten can defeat us. If that person really is Changyang Shōten, it makes sense that we wouldn't be his opponent. After all, he was able to defeat Ka Diyun who had already become a Saint. Even though Ka Diyun didn't use a Saint Weapon, it's enough to prove that Changyang Shōten is powerful."
"Hmph, so what if he's Changyang Shōten? Since he's offended us, we definitely won't let him have an easy time in the academy," said the young man who had been attacked by Jianchen the first time.
A cold smile appeared on Luo Yun's pale face as he said in a low voice, "Coincidentally, our Luo Family's Eldest Young Master has been looking everywhere for news about Changyang Shōten. I reckon that he's interested in Changyang Shōten. It's a pity that we don't know where Changyang Shōten has been hiding for the past few days. We couldn't find him even after searching for a few days. I didn't expect to meet him here today."
"Luo Yun, go find your Luo Family's eldest young master. Chen Feng and I will call Young Master Cheng out. I don't believe that Changyang Shōten is a match for Young Master Cheng," Carl said in a low voice.
"Alright, we'll go our separate ways. However, I think it would be better to leave someone behind to keep an eye on Changyang Shōten. The academy is so big. If Changyang Shōten hides somewhere and refuses to come out, how are we going to find him?" Luo Yun suggested.
Carl nodded. He then turned his gaze to the young man beside him and said, "Chen Feng, you stay behind and secretly follow Changyang Shōten. I'll go get Young Master Cheng."
"No problem!" The young man called Chen Feng agreed without any hesitation.
After the three of them finished their work, Chen Feng followed the direction that Jianchen had left in while the other two carried the unconscious young man on the ground and quickly left.
… …
In the library, Jianchen picked two books from the bookshelves before sitting down at a table and reading them with great interest.
Perhaps it was because it was too early, but the library was very quiet. Other than Jianchen, there was only a middle-aged woman who was busy cleaning the library.
The middle-aged woman seemed to be in her forties. She had an ordinary appearance and belonged to the general population. Due to her lack of talent in cultivation, her Saint Force was only at the sixth layer even though she was already in her forties. Even Kargas and the other new students were stronger than her.
The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked at Jianchen who was engrossed in reading. Although she did not know Jianchen's name, she had a very deep impression of him. This was because other than the past three days, Jianchen was the first student to come to the library every morning. Moreover, he would often read for an entire day. Sometimes, he would even skip lunch. She had been cleaning the library in the academy for several years now. Jianchen was the first student she had met who was so hardworking.
"What a hardworking child." The middle-aged woman let out a soft sigh. She then ignored Jianchen and continued with her work.
In a spacious stone house, a young man in his twenties stood in the middle of the stone house with his eyes closed. His body was in a very strange posture, as if he was a piece of wood standing there, motionless.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, a dull knocking sound came from the outside. At the same time, the young man's closed eyes slowly opened. He turned his head slightly, still maintaining that strange posture as he looked in the direction of the door. He said in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Young master, it's me, Luo Yun." A soft voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." The young man said calmly.
The door opened and a young man around twenty years old wearing a school uniform walked in. This person was one of the four people who had a conflict with Jianchen. His name was Luo Yun.
Luo Yun looked at the young man who was sitting in a strange posture. He did not feel the slightest bit surprised as if it was a common occurrence. This was because the young man's strange posture was their Luo Family's cultivation method.
In the Tianyuan Continent, there were countless secret manuals and methods of cultivation. Among them, not only did meditation cultivate, there were also many people who relied on some kind of movement or special posture to cultivate. The Luo Family's cultivation method was obviously the latter. They used their body to make some special posture to cultivate.
Luo Yun came before the young man and bowed slightly. He said respectfully, "Young master, haven't you been looking for Changyang Shōten's whereabouts all this time? Just now, I happened to find Changyang Shōten." Although Luo Yun's family was considered to have a high status in the Luo Family, he did not dare to show the slightest bit of impudence in front of this young man. This young man was the only son of the Luo Family's current Patriarch, Luo Jian. He was deeply doted on by the Patriarch and had already been decided as the future successor of the Luo Family. Luo Yun only had the intention to curry favor with Luo Jian.
"I've found Changyang Shōten!" Hearing this, Luo Jian's eyes lit up. He glanced at Luo Yun's pale face and casually shifted his gaze downwards, landing on the faint footprint on Luo Yun's chest. He said arrogantly, "Looking at how miserable you are, you must have suffered quite a bit at the hands of Changyang Shōten."
Luo Jian furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Stop hemming and hawing. What did Changyang Shōten say about me?"
Luo Yun's eyes were red as they flickered. He hesitated for a moment, then as if he had gathered enough courage, he said in a low voice, "Changyang Shōten said that you're nothing. You're not even qualified to carry his shoes."
"What!" Luo Jian's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He immediately became furious. Although the Luo clan was not a peak clan that had stood on the Tian Yuan Continent for over a thousand years, it was still one of the largest clans in the Kingdom of Gesun. It had a history of over two hundred years. Even with the entire Kingdom of Gesun in perspective, there were only a handful of clans that were more powerful than the Luo clan. As the future successor of the Luo clan, Luo Jian's status was extremely noble. Even the princess and the crown prince of the kingdom were on equal footing with him. He had never thought that an unknown new student in Kargath Academy would actually dare to speak such arrogant words. How could Luo Jian, who had been proud since he was young, swallow this anger?
Luo Jian stared sharply at Luo Yun and said in a low voice, "He really said that." Luo Jian's voice was filled with unconcealable anger.
Seeing Luo Jian's reaction, Luo Yun's eyes flashed with a trace of joy. However, he was quickly stunned by Luo Jian's reaction. He hurriedly said, "Yes, Young Master. Luo Yun's words are all true. I don't dare to have the slightest intention of offending you. This Changyang Shōten has really gone too far. He doesn't even respect you, Young Master. Moreover, he has arrogantly insulted you. If you don't properly teach him a lesson, where will you put your face in the future? I'm afraid you'll become a laughingstock in the academy."
Hearing Luo Yun's words, Luo Jian's face gradually darkened. He then slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "Where is Changyang Shōten? Lead the way. Since he doesn't respect me, I'd like to see just how capable he is."
"Yes! Yes! Young Master, please follow me. " After saying that, Luo Yun walked out of the stone house and led the gloomy Luo Jian towards the direction of the library.
At the same time, in another direction of the Kargath Academy, Karl who had just left was respectfully leading a few arrogant young men around the age of 20 towards the library.
When the few of them passed by the field, some of the older students recognized them and their expressions changed. Soon after, whispers of discussion could be heard from all directions.
"Eh … Isn't the person in the middle Young Master Cheng? He hasn't walked around the academy for a year. What kind of wind blew him out today?" A 20 year old senior stared at the few young men not far away and muttered in a low voice. His tone was filled with surprise.
"I heard that young master Cheng had already reached the strength of an intermediate Saint a year ago. I wonder how strong young master Cheng is now."
"Young master Cheng is a publicly acknowledged genius in our Kargath Academy. He condensed a Saint Weapon at the age of 19 and became a Saint. He reached the strength of an intermediate Saint at the age of 20. Now that a year has passed, with young master Cheng's talent, he should have already reached the strength of a high level Saint."
"Yeah, young master Cheng is the person with the fastest cultivation speed in our Kargath Academy. I heard that the principal once said that young master Cheng will definitely reach the strength of a Great Saint before the age of 23."
"Reaching the strength of a Great Saint at the age of 23, young master Cheng is really amazing. There are many older students in the academy who are still stuck at the peak of the tenth layer of Saint Force at his age."
As Karl's group slowly passed by the field, the older students they met along the way discussed in low voices. Young master Cheng was an extremely famous person in Kargath Academy. It wasn't because of his character, but because of his astonishing cultivation speed. Even on the Tian Yuan Continent, he could be called a genius. Among the students of Kargath Academy, young master Cheng's strength was already at the peak.
