Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

"Hey, what are you staring at so intently? Aren't you going to eat any of these?"

A pile of desserts was laid out in front of Du Ziteng, with bits of cream still clinging to his lips.

Su Chen shook his head, "I don't feel like eating. Do you think we'll see that Yan Ziyu you mentioned today?"

"We will, leave it to me."

Du Ziteng promised confidently, then returned to eating, yet in the instant he looked down, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"Hey there young man, haven't we met somewhere before?"

At some point, a short-haired man in a black robe had appeared in front of Su Chen, holding a wine glass in one hand with his other hand behind his back, looking gentlemanly and refined.

Su Chen could only see his face clearly at close range. Handsome features, a few faint wrinkles, brown shoulder-length hair, and even brown eyes. That face that wore a refined smile made it hard to refuse his question.

"I don't know, but you do seem familiar in some way."

Su Chen replied puzzled.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, taking a sip of wine, "Where are you from then?"

"I'm from Iron Stone City in the Auslan Empire."

Seeing his harmless expression, Su Chen blurted out.

Upon hearing this, the man paused, then a trace of surprise appeared on his face, which then changed into solemnity, finally gradually recovering to calm. He took another sip of wine but ended up finishing the glass.

"Haha, I thought you looked familiar, so it turns out..."

He hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by a somewhat excited voice.

"Is that...isn't that Lord Tianhui... Am I really seeing Lord Tianhui?"

Su Chen and Du Ziteng both looked towards the speaker, seeing an old man with slicked-back hair, looking excitedly at the man in the black robe, his hands clutched together trembling.

Upon hearing his excited voice, dozens of eyes immediately shot over, and Su Chen and Du Ziteng suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

The black-robed man was slightly stunned before looking at the old man with a frown, "Tianhui? You must be mistaken."

"No way, I remember your face clearly. Aren't you the famous Golden Dragon Warrior from Divine Concealment Hall? Always in a black robe, brown shoulder-length hair, and brown eyes, I can't be mistaken!"

The distinguished-looking old man said excitedly, his face slightly red.

His words instantly stirred up a commotion like boiling water among those around!

"Divine Concealment Hall! My god, did I hear wrong? Is this guy really from Divine Concealment Hall?"

"You didn't mishear, neither did I. He's not just from Divine Concealment Hall; he's the one with the most potential, Lord Tianhui! You know? Tianhui, that monster most likely to break the record of Divine Concealment Hall's leader, a thirty-three-year-old gold attribute Beast Soul Powerhouse!"

"Oh my god, coming to Drunken Dream Garden today was the right choice. I might as well witness the charm of such a genius even if I don't see Miss Yan Ziyu!"...

Hearing the overwhelming discussions around them, Su Chen was stunned, as was Du Ziteng who had been eating desserts.

"A thirty-three-year-old Beast Soul Powerhouse, my goodness..."

He gulped.

The black-robed man's expression changed several times, but in the end it all faded into a trace of helplessness. He shrugged at Su Chen and Du Ziteng, "You can pretend you didn't hear or see anything."

Su Chen shook his head, "Are you really thirty-three?"

Tianhui nodded but touched his brown hair, sighing, "It's a pity that at thirty-three I have gray hair. You see, there are even wrinkles. Even the best genius can't fight against the ruthless passage of time."

Su Chen nodded in agreement but asked, "Do you remember where we met now?"

Tianhui smiled gently, "I remember. It was more than ten years ago, then you..."

As he reminisced, a cold and extremely arrogant voice suddenly came from the balcony corner, "I've long heard of Lord Tianhui's fame. Today I finally get to meet you in person. Indeed, you're extraordinary. I, Liu Wenlong, am here to learn a few moves from you!"

The already lively scene became even more excited!

The nobles and tourists who came to Drunken Dream Garden for leisure were all astounded, looking incredulously at the tall figure slowly walking out from the corner.

"Challenging Lord Tianhui, does this young man have a death wish?"

Someone commented, immediately causing a massive uproar!

"Exactly! This guy's fed up with life. If he wants to die, there are better ways to go about it than this sure-death path!"

"Lord Tianhui will punish his arrogance, watch and see, this young man is doomed!"

Ignoring the belittling words, the cold and proud Oriental youth Liu Wenlong slowly walked out from the corner, staring piercingly at Tianhui just a few meters away. His striking waist-length silver hair made him even more radiant, complementing his Eastern-style grey outfit, transforming him from mysterious to dazzling!

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, realizing Liu Wenlong didn't seem to have any weapons. Was he fighting unarmed?

Tianhui appeared calm, smiling slightly, "Today I've met an old friend, I don't want to engage with you, just leave."

"No, my purpose of coming to the Golden Wind Empire is precisely to challenge the world's experts. If Lord Tianhui doesn't guide me, I will certainly not leave!"

Liu Wenlong's tone was resolute and arrogant, causing many to furrow their brows.

"Lord Tianhui, teach him a lesson, let him know the consequences of being arrogant!"

Someone yelled.

"Yeah, make this Oriental youngster go back home!"

Du Ziteng couldn't help but grimace, cursing inwardly, "Him, I'm also from the East, do I have to be chased away too!"

Tianhui shook his head subtly, resignedly saying, "Alright then, since it's just a friendly match, let's stop when necessary."

Once he said this, a hint of battle spirit immediately appeared on Liu Wenlong's face, "Then I won't hold back, senior!"

Just as he spoke, his body unexpectedly turned into a grey shadow, spinning rapidly, suddenly stirring up a fiercely intense small whirlwind, aggressively striking at the motionless Tianhui!

Su Chen's face changed dramatically!

What kind of skill was this? Turning his body into a whirlwind? How formidable must the Beast's Qi Energy needed be?

Many around quickly moved out of the whirlwind's range, staring in shock at the fierce attack, secretly sweating for Tianhui!

Bang~~ The whirlwind struck, Tianhui's body seemed to be ripped apart, turning into a cluster of light golden fragments, slowly dissipating in place. Liu Wenlong gradually emerged, sweat already forming on his forehead.

But suddenly, he heard a bizarre sound from above, like mercury hitting the ground, like crystal colliding. He looked up swiftly!

It was still the cluster of light golden fragments, this time scattering in mid-air, then with overwhelming momentum, turned into a golden torrent rushing towards the ground!

"No!"

Liu Wenlong shouted in shock!

Everyone was stunned by the scene!

The golden torrent instantly engulfed Liu Wenlong completely, the balcony was like a flood, fiercely spraying golden fragments in all directions, everyone could barely open their eyes!

But a strange situation appeared before everyone once more. The torrent of gold disappeared abruptly, leaving Liu Wenlong standing there unharmed, drenched in cold sweat, looking terrified. And Tianhui, calm and collected, floated in mid-air on the balcony, his body radiating a dazzling light golden glow!

"This...what is this?"

Liu Wenlong was dumbfounded. Everything was like a dream. Although he escaped unscathed, he seemed to have been subjected to a golden torrent?

"These are Star Fragments, a skill I just mastered, which can both attack and confuse."

Tianhui landed on the ground, saying lightly.

"So why didn't I get attacked?"

Liu Wenlong had just spoken when his face fell pale, realizing Tianhui hadn't intended to attack him.

Suddenly he laughed, raising his face forcefully so his expression wouldn't be so dejected, "Lord Tianhui is indeed powerful, Liu Wenlong is impressed, but I will come back to challenge you again, hoping next time you might truly attack!"

With that, he actually turned into a small whirlwind, sweeping down from the second floor of Drunken Dream Garden, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant!

Su Chen blinked, watching the dazed faces of the crowd, completely unaware of what had just happened.

"That guy is really strong!"

Du Ziteng said in shock.

Su Chen came back to his senses, nodding, "Indeed strong, I reckon he has at least Beast Sovereign level power, yet he was defeated by that person, with just one move."
