Imperial Spirits - Otherworldly Adventures

"H…Hi, it's me, Zhao Jian...Brother Jiang Wang, congratulations on a successful awakening trial." Zhao Jian slightly lowered his head and said in a low voice.

He even took a step back slightly and responded in a submissive tone.

Jiang Wang stood there stunned for a moment; after taking a deep breath, he said in an indifferent tone that contained a hint of jealousy.

"Well, it seems like you have also awakened successfully; congratulations to you as well... I hope after this you won't have to hide behind a woman."

"I... I never hide behind Sister Bing'er; it's just she protects me because I was physically weak!" Zhao Jian raised his head and refuted Jiang Wang's claim while he tried to keep himself cool.

"Hoh, that means you are not weak now. Do you want to spar with me, and we'll see if you can only talk big or what?" Jiang Wang gave a freshening smile and said with half-bent eyes.

Lin Fan, who was standing next to them and listening to their tit-for-tat talk, scratched his head awkwardly as he felt he seemed to be in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

Headmaster Wang, who saw their small bickering, felt funny but didn't immediately break them up; he had heard before that the young lass of the Han Family always protected Zhao Jian from getting bullied in school.

Actually, Azure Cloud Academy is not strict with discipline; at most, as long as your character is not offbeat and there are no serious fights, the academy allows ordinary fights between students.

In Wang Renshu's thought, it's a good way to develop young students' character and enhance the competitive mode between them.

Although he allowed fighting and even a bit of miscommunication between students, definitely bullying is not allowed...

It's just Zhao Jian is a rare case; he was a sick boy to begin with, although he is very good at studies, but because of his innately weak physique, he was scoffed at.

At first, when he heard about the incident that other boys from class A2 bullied him, he moved him into class A1.

After all, that's the class of elite students; their mentality is much more or less mature than their peers, and most of them focus on how to become strong.

It's just in a few weeks he heard that the boy Zhao Jian was being bullied again, and what's more interesting is it was done by Jiang Wang and some other students.

Headmaster Wang more or less knew the students from class A1 because they are the best in the entire Azure Cloud Academy, so even he went once in a while to give a lecture to them.

He also knows Jiang Wang's character; he's a good boy, but he more or less hates people without a backbone.

So, when Zhao Jian went to class A1, Jiang Wang from the first day didn't like his personality.

It could be said that it was a personality clash; at first, the headmaster thought he should move Zhao Jian to class A3.

In the end, before he could make his decision, the little lass from the Han family took action personally.

She found him to be weak and helpless and decided to undertake him and protect him, but what happened further was even more unexpected.

Jiang Wang, who somewhat casually bullies him to strengthen Zhao Jian's character, began to bully him every other day, and the reason was indeed Han Bing'er.

Jiang Wang always had a soft spot for Han Bing'er because of her fiery yet cool personality.

But Han Bing'er never even looks straight at him, let alone have a beautiful moment of her smiling at him, which he always wished for...

Thus, when he saw Han Bing'er not only protect him from right and left but even smile and hang out with such a weakling, it made him even more furious.

In the end, it was the reason that intensified his hatred towards Zhao Jian, although Zhao Jian never even dared to look back at him.

The more headmaster Wang thought, the more he felt interested.

Now Zhao Jian is not weak; even at present, his strength even exceeded everyone here, including Jiang Wang.

Thus he wants to know how long Zhao Jian would show his submissive attitude and when his attitude changes and matches his strength.

Contrary to his thoughts, when headmaster Wang thought that Zhao Jian would agree to fight, he instead hesitated and shook his head and said.

"Not now; I can't fight you now, but why don't we fight during the Royal Academy selection?"

"Whoever got better results than others would win... What do you think, Jiang Wang?"

Jiang Wang's thoughts flickered, yet he remained indifferent and responded, "If that's how you want to get defeated by me, we can fight that way as well, but you have to promise me if you are defeated by me, never interact with Han Bing'er again ever!"

Zhao Jian nodded his head. "Very well, I promise you, in return, I have the same words for you, never make things difficult for Sister Bing'er."

Headmaster Wang, who was listening from the side, narrowed his eyes as a strange smirk rose, which was accidentally seen by Lin Fan, whose body shivered uncontrollably.

'It seems headmaster Wang is up to no good!!! I must act like I don't know what they are talking about...'

"Okay, you two, you're courageous enough and dare to be bricked in front of an old man. To appreciate your courage and valor, old man will personally monitor your battle and promote it so that others can take it as a reference in the future!"

Jiang Wang and Zhao Jian, who were in battle mode, felt as if a bucket of cold water fell on them and instantly woke them up.

They looked at each other, and a thought popped into their mind, 'Not good!' How did we forget about headmaster Wang...'

Lin Fan, who was standing next to them, cast a glance at the two fools in sympathy.

'In front of headmaster Wang, you two dare to mention fight and bet; it seems like you two want to become famous throughout Yangwu... Oh, Jiang Wang! Oh, Zhao Jian! Who said that class A1 is full of intellectual students, huh...'

Likewise, headmaster Wang was also thinking about how to promote their fight; it could definitely not be done ordinarily.

It's the fight between a sick boy who is reborn and a young genius who bullied the sick...

Hmmm, well, adding a line here like, 'A fight between a sickly handsome boy and a young master of a famous family over a fiery-tempered young lass. Hey, it would be a great deal... haha, the old man is indeed old yet a genius... well, we could...'

As Wang Renshu was lost in fantasies of seeing a rare fight of the decade between two youths, he was knocked out of his fantasies by Dr. Lin, who had just arrived.

"Why you all were standing here in a daze, I almost thought that something was amiss, Something happened…?" Dr. Lin asked in doubt.

He was waiting for them to reach the glass door, but seeing no response from them, and they seemed to be busy talking about something, he fell off and came here.

"It's okay, senior; everything is fine; we were just discussing the change in brother Zhao Jian's body, that's all," the naïve yet quick-witted boy, Lin Fan, hastily added.

"Ah, it's right; I was shocked seeing Brother Zhao in his current form; I even thought someone was faking his name..." Jiang Wang also added a line while keeping a clean smile on his face.

Headmaster Wang, on the other hand, looked at them while wondering if it was the correct decision to allow such slippery youths.

In the end, he just flicked these throughs and began to plan a grand competition between Zhao Jian and Jiang Wang.

Even though he thought that he needed to find more stories and add a few more students to make the competition more brilliant...

By the way, he decided to arrange a bigger competition this time to earn a few bucks, heh!

If the young boys and girls had heard Headmaster Wang's thoughts, they might have wanted to cry until they were unable to do so...

Headmaster Wang, how can you be so unfeeling and greedy...

Nevertheless, headmaster Wang didn't say anything further and pressed his thoughts for now at least and asked Dr. Lin instead, "Dr. Lin, tell old man what the results of these two boys are..."

Dr. Lin, who was looking left and right, suddenly felt a pause in the brain procession.

He who was trying hard to figure out the inside story was suddenly asked about the results.

Especially when it's always headmaster Wang; even the students themselves are not so conscious and excited...

'A few more to go; after that, I'll have a peaceful time. Yu Lin, you can do it! Cheers!'

"Ahem! Dr. Lin, the old man, is asking you, Are you okay? Don't tell me you are unwell..." Headmaster Wang waved his hand in front of Dr. Lin's face and asked.

"Well, I am alright; as for the results, Jiang Wang awakened as an Imperial Spirit Master, and his talent index is 'One Star Eight Index.'."

"On the other hand, Lin Fan awakened as a Spirit Warrior, although there was no specific attribute affinity, but his talent is also 'One Star Seventh Index,' both have good results."

"Good! As expected of Jiang family genes, hey, not bad as well for Lin Bao's genes, haha!" Headmaster Wang grinned.

Dr. Lin also nodded his head in approval and said, "Indeed, this time the results are way better than the last few years. I have to say awakening potions played an important role..."

"Let alone there are hundreds of students left, including older students; collectively it would be the best result in the past two decades if we got one or two young, talented students with 'Two Star Indexes.'."

"Dr. Lin, can you tell me about my talent index?" Zhao Jian hesitated for a moment and asked, after all, if he wanted to know about his talent index as well.

Another reason was that he wanted to know if anyone would find out the difference, which he was worried about.

Dr. Lin looked deeply at him and explained to him about his talent index, "Young man, honestly I have to say that your case is a rare one, and at least in my duration of working in the awakening process field, I've seen myself for the very first time."

"As per the available data, your talent index is only 'One Star Fifth Index,' yet your physical body enchantments are out of the ordinary; your current strength is already stabilized at the Intermediate stage of Black Iron Rank, which is far above anyone else here."
