It had been a week since the college selection. A large number of students had arrived at Qionghai College, which made the quiet college lively in an instant.
To Ying Ming, he could finally go and settle the score with Qi Kun. He thought that as long as he entered Qionghai Academy, he would be able to go and find Qi Kun immediately. Who knew that this guy was not even in Qionghai Academy.
"Back then, I really believed in Qi Hai's evil!”Ying Ming said angrily. Where was the most basic trust between people?
To be honest, Ying Ming had been very bored this week. These martial masters who had entered the academy together with him immediately immersed themselves in cultivation after receiving their uniforms and being assigned rooms. It was as if they would die if they did not cultivate for a day.
He had wanted to find Yuefan to discuss his philosophy of life, but he was told that Yuefan had temporarily left the academy and gone out to gain experience.
As for Mo Xiaoxue, she seemed to have returned to the Mirage Snow Valley a few days ago. Therefore, during this week, other than practicing spear techniques every day, Ying Ming would eat and sleep, sleep and eat.
Therefore, on the first day of school, Ying Ming woke up early. He washed up, dressed neatly, and rubbed his fists! He was prepared to do something.
As the students who had passed the selection trial had entered the academy a week earlier, the arrival of the new students today had attracted the attention of many of the selection students.
There were four gates in Qionghai College. Ying Ming and his team were going to the west gate, not the main gate. As the number one academy in the Heavenly Bestowal Continent, Qionghai Academy's architecture and decoration were extraordinary. The main gate that welcomed the students was several times larger than the other three gates.
Ying Ming was squeezed in the crowd, watching those noble families entering Qionghai Academy.
"I heard that Qionghai College has recruited many geniuses from famous schools again! Three out of the four families in the Imperial City were directly recruited into Qionghai Academy!”
"Eh? These famous families are not something that we, itinerant cultivators, can compare to!”
Ying Ming listened to the conversation between the two selection students beside him and appeared very depressed because he could not understand them at all.
"Two students, may I ask what the four families of the Imperial City are?”Ying Ming didn't care if he lost face or not, and he directly came over to ask.
After all, in this world that he knew nothing about, there were too many things that he did not understand. If he did, he would suffer.
Therefore, in order not to suffer any losses in the future, he had to ask if he didn't understand. Ying Ming nodded. He was a student who loved learning!
"Friends? You must be from the countryside! You don't even know about the four families of the Imperial City?" After hearing Ying Ming's question, the other party's face was filled with shock and disdain. Ying Ming smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Cough cough, you should know about this Imperial City, right? It's the city capital of the Tianci Kingdom! There were four great clans in the Heavenly Capital, namely the Xia Clan, the Qi Clan, the Ye Clan, and the Zhang Clan! Before the establishment of the Heavenly Kingdom, these four great clans had contributed a lot to the previous emperor. Therefore, after the Heavenly Kingdom was established, these four great clans were placed in four corners of the Imperial Capital, known as the Four Great Clans of the Imperial Capital!”
"Oh, I see!" Ying Ming nodded. He had a good understanding of the four families of the Imperial City. To put it simply, they were famous families that were related to the Imperial Family.
However, why did the surnames of these four families give him a bad feeling?
"Look, those are the young talents from the Qi family! It's said that the son of the head of the Qi Clan, Qi Shaotian, has already broken through to the middle stage of the Mountain River Tier. His age is clearly about the same as ours. Sigh, it's really infuriating to compare people!”The student beside Ying Ming suddenly pointed at a group of students in reddish-brown clothes in the distance.
"A sixteen-year-old at the intermediate stage of the Mountain River Tier is already on par with Yue Fan!”Ying Ming said emotionally, but then he thought about it and felt that it was not right.
Yue Fan was not born into a noble family, so there were no resources for him to cultivate. He had become so powerful because of his own hard work, and Qi Shaotian was far inferior to him in this aspect.
However, just as Ying Ming was sizing up Qi Shaotian, he saw a familiar figure, and his appearance confirmed his previous guess.
"Congratulations on breaking through to the middle stage of the Mountain River Tier, Cousin. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope Cousin won't mind!”Qi Kun gave a fawning smile and handed a golden box to Qi Shaotian.
"This is a high-grade Sea Break Pill! Cousin Qi Kun, this isn't just a small token of appreciation. You're giving me a big gift!”Qi Shaotian opened the golden box and said in surprise.
The Sea Break Pill was a medicinal pill used by Martial Masters to break through to the Mountain River Tier. Generally speaking, when a Martial Master cultivated to the consummate level of the Mountain River Tier, if they wanted to break through to the Vast Sea Tier, they had to shatter the Mountain River Qi in their bodies and condense it into the Vast Sea.
To complete this step, it would take a lot of time. However, with the Sea Breaking Pill, opening up the sea would become very easy.
Because of this miraculous effect, the Sea Breakthrough Pill had been highly sought after by the younger generation of disciples in recent years. The price it sold for was also extremely shocking, and Qi Kun's high-grade Sea Breakthrough Pill was even more difficult to obtain.
"With this Sea Breaking Pill, I believe that with my cousin's talent, he will be able to break through to the Vast Sea Realm in a few months!”
"Hahaha, I really have to trouble cousin! I'll write a letter to my father in a few days and see if I can get you to work for my father!”Qi Shaotian patted Qi Kun's shoulder and smiled.
"Then cousin will thank you here!" Qi Kun was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked him.
In order to obtain this high-grade Sea Breakthrough Pill, Qi Kun's father had spent a lot of effort to build a good relationship between Qi Kun and Qi Shaotian so that he could be promoted from the branch family to the main family as soon as possible.
From the looks of it, he had succeeded.
Qi Kun was very happy, but Ying Ming was not. There were so many people with the surname Qi in the world, but why was Qi Kun's family related to the royal capital's Qi family?!
Now, he had to put aside the matter of beating up Qi Kun for the time being. After all, Qi Kun had a backer now. If he beat up Qi Kun, he would definitely go to Qi Shaotian to get back at him.
Putting aside the fact that he couldn't beat Qi Shaotian, even if he could, Qi Shaotian had the backing of the Qi family in the Imperial Capital. He could easily kill him.
"Aiya, I'm so angry. Why don't I have such a powerful backer?”Ying Ming was very depressed. No matter where he went, he still had to compete for status.
However, he came to Qionghai College to beat up Qi Kun. If he couldn't beat him up, what else could he do in the college? Ying Ming furrowed his brows tightly as he kept thinking.
"Hey, Little Ming!" At this moment, Mo Xiaoxue suddenly appeared behind Ying Ming, giving him a fright. When he saw Mo Xiaoxue's playful smile, Ying Ming forcefully swallowed his words.
"Miss Xiaoxue, long time no see!”
"We're already family. Don't call me Miss Xiao Xue. Just call me Miss!”Mo Xiaoxue said.
"Huh? One of their own? Miss Snowy, cough cough, Young Miss, did you really bring me into the Mirage Snow Valley?”Ying Ming felt like crying. Was there something wrong with this girl's brain? He had rejected her so directly back then. Why did she still get him in?!
"Of course, I always keep my word! Little Ming, don't worry. In the future, with me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you in the academy!”Mo Xiaoxue kept patting her chest as she spoke. Ying Ming felt bitter inside, but he couldn't say anything. Her chest wasn't big to begin with. If she patted it again, it would be gone.
"Compared to that Eldest Young Miss, the Qi Clan of the Imperial Capital, or the Mirage Snow Valley, which faction is more powerful?”
"The Qi Clan of the Imperial Capital? Hey! Little Ming, did you offend the Qi family in the Imperial City?”Seeing the change in Mo Xiaoxue's expression, Ying Ming quickly shook his head.
"No, no! I was just asking! With my strength, how would I dare to provoke the Qi family of the Imperial City! Ahahaha!"
"Our Mirage Snow Valley usually has trade deals with the Imperial Capital. If we have any conflicts with the four families of the Imperial Capital, it will cause the Imperial Capital to be dissatisfied and thus terminate the trade between us. In the end, our Mirage Snow Valley will suffer quite a bit of losses. Therefore, you'd better not provoke the people of the Imperial City!”Mo Xiaoxue explained.
In terms of power, the Mirage Snow Valley was actually a bit stronger than the Imperial Capital's Qi Clan. However, she had to consider some problems from other angles.
"Young miss, don't worry. I won't take the initiative to stir up trouble!”
Ying Ming shook his head helplessly. It seemed like the possibility of using the Mirage Snow Valley to beat Qi Kun up was gone.
Looking at the figure in the distance that he yearned for day and night, Ying Ming let out a long sigh.
"Why is it so difficult to beat someone up these days?”
