Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The eyes of the burly men and elders flickered. Following Du Shaofu's words, the gazes they directed at Du Shaofu changed. They were all surprised by his words.
Lv Jiaxue, Zhao Yue, Liang Dong, and the others were even more shocked. The seven of them stared at Du Shaofu in astonishment. They had never imagined that this fellow would dare to talk back to an elder.
One must know that if the elders of Tianwu Academy were placed in an empire, they would definitely be able to control a prefecture and become a vassal of an empire.
When the elders of Tianwu Academy went out, even the nobles and ministers of the empire would have to welcome them from afar. Yet, the young man before them didn't seem to care about them at all.
Zhao Yue and the others naturally didn't know Du Shaofu's personality. If someone respected him, he would respect them back tenfold. If someone were to deliberately make things difficult for him, given Du Shaofu's personality, he wouldn't care about them either.
Putting aside the fact that Elder Liao was a Martial Lord, Du Shaofu had already met experts like the Lightning Lion King, North Vanquishing Prince, and Medicine King. Thus, Elder Liao was just an ordinary person.
Initially, Du Shaofu was filled with respect and yearning for Tianwu Academy. However, due to Elder Liao's actions, his respect and yearning for Tianwu Academy dwindled significantly. As a result, his temper turned slightly sour.
"What did you just say?"
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Elder Liao's gaze immediately landed on Du Shaofu. There was a slight smile on his face, but this smile made one's heart tremble for no reason.
"I said that before I leave, I would like to meet two people. I wonder if this would break the rules of Tianwu Academy?"
Du Shaofu stared straight at Elder Liao. At this moment, his temper had also risen. If it was a Martial Lord from the Black Fiend Sect, Du Shaofu would naturally be wary of him. However, this was Tianwu Academy, and Du Shaofu didn't believe that an elder of Tianwu Academy could do anything to him.
"I'm asking about the previous question."
Elder Liao stared at Du Shaofu with a frozen expression on his face. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was surprised that a young man could remain so calm in front of him. Even though he had concealed his aura, the new students of Tianwu Academy wouldn't even dare to raise their heads in front of him.
"Listen well, I said that Tianwu Academy is only so-so. There's no point in entering it."
Du Shaofu continued to stare at Elder Liao with a straight back. If Tianwu Academy was filled with such elders, Du Shaofu would be reluctant to enroll in the academy.
"Where did this brat come from? He sure has guts."
The surrounding burly men and old men looked at each other, their expressions revealing some shock.
"It seems like that person missed the day of Tianwu Academy's examination and is still going against the elders."
"Where did this brat come from? Is he tired of living?"
"He even dares to talk back to an elder. This brat is courting death!"
"..."
At this moment, the three thousand new students standing in a neat row not too far away raised their heads and looked forward. Those who were closer heard the conversation between Du Shaofu and Elder Liao, and whispers of discussion could be heard.
"Haha..."
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Elder Liao's frozen face twitched for a moment. Instead of getting angry, he laughed.
However, when his laughter came to a stop, a cold glint flashed across Elder Liao's eyes. He stared at Du Shaofu and said, "Brat, listen well. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Behind you are the three thousand new students who passed the examination. As long as you can defeat even the weakest of them, I will make an exception and allow you to enter Tianwu Academy. However, if you lose, I will punish you for disrespecting Tianwu Academy, cripple your cultivation, and expel you from Tianwu Academy's territory. If you dare to take half a step into Tianwu Academy's territory, I will kill you on the spot!"
"Huuu!"
Hearing Elder Liao's words, everyone in the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect Elder Liao to give such a heavy punishment. To a cultivator, crippling one's cultivation was no different from taking one's life. It was even crueler than taking one's life.
"Elder Liao, this punishment is a little too heavy. A brat like him doesn't know the rules and speaks without thinking. I think a light punishment is enough."
The man who spoke first took a step forward and looked at Du Shaofu. He said, "Brat, quickly apologize to Elder Liao. Next time, don't be so ignorant of the rules."
"Little brother, quickly apologize to Elder Liao. Quickly."
Zhang Yue, Liang Dong, Lv Jiaxue and the others immediately lowered their heads and whispered to Du Shaofu to apologize to Elder Liao. If his cultivation was truly crippled, it would be a fate worse than death.
To Zhang Yue and the others, it was unlikely that Du Shaofu would be able to defeat the last student. Not to mention, the seven of them knew that Du Shaofu was still injured.
Du Shaofu shook his head at Zhang Yue and the others and smiled faintly. Then, he looked at the man and knew that the latter was trying to protect him. His gaze softened as he smiled and said, "Elder, I'm afraid that Elder Liao will be disappointed if he cripples my cultivation. I would also like to see how strong the new students of Tianwu Academy are for Elder Liao to think so highly of them."
"Sigh!"
Hearing those words, the man was stunned. He did not expect the young man to be so ungrateful. After sighing softly, he could only helplessly sigh.
"Haha, what an arrogant brat. You must be used to being a playboy at home. Do you think that Tianwu Academy is your home?"
Seeing that the purple-robed young man did not place him in his eyes at all, Elder Liao was truly enraged. He turned to a young man not far away and said, "Changming, bring up the last student who passed the examination. Let this brat know how the new students of Tianwu Academy should be."
"Yes."
The young man lowered his head and shot a disdainful glance at Du Shaofu. Then, he hurriedly walked towards the orderly rows of new students. Not long later, he brought back a young man who was dressed in tight clothes and had a sturdy physique. He looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Greetings to the elders."
The young man stepped forward. Before the elders, he was suppressed by the formless aura and did not dare to raise his head. However, when he lowered his head, he glared at Du Shaofu fiercely.
The brawny youngster already knew what had happened in front of him. He thought to himself that he would teach that reckless purple-robed youngster a lesson later. First of all, he would be able to show off in front of the elders and leave a good impression on them. Then, it would be very beneficial for him in the future. Second of all, Elder Liao wouldn't make a move on this youngster due to his status. However, if he helped Elder Liao vent his anger, Elder Liao might even accept him as his disciple in the future. That would be killing two birds with one stone.
Elder Liao did not pay any attention to the young man in tight clothes. He looked at Du Shaofu coldly and said, "Brat, let's begin. If you win, I will make an exception and allow you to enter Tianwu Academy. If you lose, I will punish you for disrespecting Tianwu Academy and cripple your cultivation."
When the young man in tight clothes heard Elder Liao's words, he instinctively took a few steps back. Then, he looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Brat, come up!"
At this moment, Liang Dong, Zhang Yue, Lv Jiaxue, and the rest of the seven could only helplessly look at Du Shaofu. Their expressions turned grave. After all, they were acquaintances and could not bear to see Du Shaofu's cultivation being crippled.
"That brat really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I'm afraid that his cultivation will be crippled soon."
"That young man is rather handsome and has a good appearance. How good would it be if he could stay in Tianwu Academy and cultivate together?"
"..."
A commotion broke out among the three thousand freshmen. Most of them looked at Du Shaofu with disdain. That brat had gone against Elder Liao. Even if his cultivation was crippled, he deserved it. No one would sympathize with him. However, there were a few female students who shook their heads in pity.
Du Shaofu smiled and did not pay attention to the discussions of the three thousand freshmen behind him. Du Shaofu had secretly spied on them and found out that most of them were only at the Xiantian Realm. Even though they were at the Great Circle of the Xiantian Realm, they were still only at the Xiantian Realm.
There were also a few who had stepped into the Pulsating Realm. However, the Pulsating Realm freshmen that Du Shaofu had spied on were only at the Initial Stage of the Pulsating Realm.
To the current Du Shaofu, this level of cultivation was naturally nothing to him.
Of course, Du Shaofu was also very clear that with the age of these new students, it was already extremely terrifying for them to be able to reach the perfection-stage of the Xiantian Realm. Moreover, there were quite a few Pulsation Realm experts amongst them. Their natural talent was undoubtedly extremely shocking.
Those who wished to enroll in Tianwu Academy were indeed extraordinary geniuses.
Du Shaofu paid no attention to the discussions and mockery behind him. He had experienced such a situation back in the Du Clan, and Du Shaofu was well aware of it. Only with absolute strength would one be able to retaliate and prove themselves.
Du Shaofu slowly took a few steps to the side. Under the gazes of many people, he arrived in front of the young man and smiled faintly. He was at the peak of the Xiantian stage. He thought to himself, If I fight him, won't I be bullying him too much?
"Brat, what are you smiling about?" Seeing Du Shaofu smiling, the young man's eyes twitched and he asked in puzzlement.
Du Shaofu maintained his smile and said indifferently, "Your cultivation is too low. If I were to make the first move, I would be bullying you. Thus, you should make the first move."
The young man was instantly enraged. He was a proud son of the heavens in his clan, and his name shook the entire city. Today, he passed Tianwu Academy's test and became a member of Tianwu Academy. Naturally, he was prideful. At this moment, he was actually looked down upon by a young man who seemed to be around his age. How could he not be enraged?
"Brat, you're too arrogant!"
The moment he shouted, the young man stomped his foot on the square. Profound energy swirled around him and a powerful aura surged out. Immediately, he appeared before Du Shaofu.
"The third watch has arrived."
