Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4919: Side Story -- City 7

Ling Han and Yang Qi boarded the car, and Shu Zhengyang began speeding his car again.

He was a Level 1 cultivator, and after advancing into the level of a cultivator, his reaction speed and speed far surpassed ordinary people. Thus, though he had driven the car to above 150 km/h, there was only scares but no real danger.

In the meantime, a great many police officers began to pursue them, but they were easily thrown off their tail.

They chose a hotpot restaurant, sat down, and began to eat.

Even in the dire situation of the Foreign Beasts besieging the city, food was still everyone’s keenest interest. There were the most restaurants in the city, and they had all kinds of food.

At the dining table, the three of them chatted a lot.

Actually, it was mostly Yang Qi who was asking the questions, and Shu Zhengyang was answering. These questions were mainly related to the matters after entering the academy.

When they were almost done eating, Shu Zhengyang took his leave.

He was very polite towards Ling Han, because an eighteen-year-old pseudo-cultivator was really too rare. His future prospects were boundless.

Ling Han and Yang Qi returned to their respective homes. When Ling Han’s parents found out that he had passed the martial arts test, they were all extremely excited.

This meant that Ling Han had a chance of becoming a cultivator — though this hope was very vague, and once he became a cultivator, it meant that Ling Han would become one of the privileged.

They didn’t know that Ling Han’s current strength had already reached the level of a pseudo-cultivator. Otherwise, they would definitely be even more pleasantly surprised. This meant that it was already a sure bet that their son would become a cultivator.

After passing the martial arts test, there was no need for him to go to school to attend classes anymore. Added with the fact that they had a previous agreement with Shu Zhengyang, Ling Han met up with Yang Qi on the second day, heading to the academy.

They took a bus, and after several stops, the two of them alighted. They only had to walk another 200 meters to reach the academy.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the academy. Looking at the words ”Zhou Su Martial Arts Academy” on the plaque, they both felt rueful.

In the future, they would become one of these people.

”Hey, two country bumpkins, what are you looking at?” A voice rang out from behind them.

’Hmm?’

Yang Qi immediately turned around, only to see a young man standing behind them. He was only a few years older than them, and his arms were crossed before his chest. There was a look of disdain on his face.

He was naturally defiant, and hurriedly said, ”Could it be that we can’t just stand here and look?”

”This is the martial academy, a place that you can only look up to in your whole lives. Stop daydreaming.” The young man waved his hand dismissively, wanting nothing more than to write the words ’disdain’ on his face.

Yang Qi was young and impetuous, so how could he withstand such provocation? ”We’re third year high school students, and we’ve already passed the martial arts exam. We’ll be able to enter this place soon!”

”You have only passed the assessment, and have not been accepted into the academy.” The young man scoffed, ”Let me tell you, the quality of students nowadays is getting higher and higher year after year. Thus, if you have only just passed the assessment, there is at least an 80% chance that you would not be able to pass the assessment this time round!”

What!

Yang Qi couldn’t help but gape in shock and anxiety.

He indeed knew that passing the martial arts test was only the first stage. Next, enrollment in the academy would be based on merit.

If it was really as the other party had said, then he was in a tight spot.

Unlike Ling Han, who was already a pseudo-cultivator, no matter how high the standards set by the academy were, he could still pass.

”So, a piece of trash like you had best extinguish your desire to enter these doors as soon as possible,” the young man said calmly. ”You can’t! You’re not worthy! You’re not qualified!” ᚱ𝔞𝐍ỒBƐs

Yang Qi’s confidence had been shattered, and his expression was extremely dejected.

Ling Han shook his head, and pulled Yang Qi behind him, saying, ”Whether my friend is qualified to enter this door or not isn’t up to you, nor is it any of your business.”

”What is it? You want to stand up for him?” The young man glanced at Ling Han, his eyes filled with provocation.

Ling Han’s expression was calm, and he said, ”We don’t know each other, yet you provoked us the moment we met. Thus, if you’re not under someone’s command, there’s something wrong with your brain.”

The young man couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat. His guess was extremely accurate. He had indeed been commanded by someone, and that was why he had deliberately waited for Ling Han and Yang Qi today, deliberately provoking them.

He naturally would not admit it, and said calmly, ”If you have the guts, then fight me. If you don’t, then just shut your mouth obediently, and be a coward!”

”Ling Han!” Yang Qi hurriedly stretched out a hand to pull Ling Han back. With Ling Han’s reminder, he also realized that there was something off with this young man. He was deliberately angering him.

Ling Han smiled, and said, ”Fine, let’s fight. If you lose, apologize to my friend!”

”All right.” The young man nodded first, ”Then let’s sign a life-and-death contract, in case I can’t stop myself, and kill you, and still have to pay with my life!”

When Yang Qi heard this, he hurriedly went to pull Ling Han back. At this point, if he still couldn’t tell that this was a trap, then he would really be too stupid.

Ling Han’s eyes froze over. He only had to apologize to Yang Qi, yet the latter was clearly trying to take his life.

”All right!” He nodded.

The young man smirked coldly, took out a tablet computer, and handed it over to Ling Han, ”Sign.”

Yang Qi leaned over to take a look, and couldn’t help but feel even more furious. This life and death contract had already been prepared in advance, so wasn’t it still deliberately targeting him?

”Ling Han, you can’t fall for it,” he advised.

”Don’t worry.” Ling Han patted his shoulder, and said, ”The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Right now, we still don’t know who the hunter is!”

He stretched out a finger and signed his name on the tablet computer.

”Hey, hey, hey. It seems like there’s going to be a duel over there.”

”What, with Ruan Zhiping?”

”He’s a third-year senior, and he’s also officially become a cultivator. Isn’t dueling with him courting death?”

”Which idiot would actually duel with Ruan Zhiping?”

At the school gate, many people saw this scene, and they were all discussing spiritedly.

Hearing everyone’s words, Yang Qi couldn’t help but feel anxious. Pointing at Ruan Zhiping, he exclaimed, ”You are too treacherous!”

If they had known that he was a cultivator, Ling Han wouldn’t have agreed to a duel with him.

Though Ling Han possessed the strength of a pseudo-cultivator, but compared with a real cultivator, the gap was definitely obvious.

”Believe me!” Ling Han said to Yang Qi. ”I think... I can do it!”

”Have you finished your last words?” Ruan Zhiping asked coldly. The life and death contract had already been signed, so there was no need for him to pretend any longer.

Ling Han smiled faintly, ”At first, I had only planned to have you bow your head and admit your mistake, but since you are so determined to seek death, then I shall oblige you.”

”Hahaha, your boasting is quite big.” Ruan Zhiping sneered, and crooked a finger at Ling Han. ”Come on then.”

Yang Qi still wanted to persuade him, yet Ling Han resolutely pushed him aside.

He was pacing around in panic, and only now did he suddenly recall Shu Zhengyang. Hurriedly, he took out his phone and began to dial.

Meanwhile, Ling Han looked at Ruan Zhiping. With every second, unfamiliar memories would appear in his mind, and his strength was also increasing at an astonishing speed.

Today, he was at least ten times stronger than yesterday.

”Come on!” Ling Han also crooked a finger at him.

How arrogant!

Ruan Zhiping humphed, and strode towards Ling Han.

He could kill a mere pseudo cultivator with a single punch.
