Zhou Huang and Fatty Lai continued walking, not even sparing another glance to Futian. Everyone crowded around them instantly gave way so they could leave. Only after they left did everyone start making a commotion.
"Wh-wh-What just happened?"
"H-he, Fatty Lai just used one punch to knock him out...!"
"But Young Master Futian is at the 6th level of the True Practitioner Realm! Even someone at the 7th level wouldn't instantly knock him out!"
"Don't tell me he's at the 8th level of the True Practitioner Realm?! How is that possible?! Wasn't he supposed to be at the 4th level just 3 months ago?"
Zhou Huang and Fatty Lai however, didn't care about what they were talking about
"Brother Huang, do you think we were to rash? Futian is definitely going to tell the clan elder!"
"What are you worried about? That old fox is just at the 2nd level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, we can easily escape from his grasp. Soon we're going to apply for Starlight Academy and by then, they wouldn't dare mess with us! Let's go cultivate and pack up before we leave. It would save a huge amount of trouble the sooner we leave."
3 days later
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sounds of fighting can be heard from afar. Inside the training rooms Zhou Huang and Fatty Lai could be seen sparring each other, their body drenched in sweat.
Boom! Both their fists filled with qi collided. The figures forced each other to slide back a good distance from each other.
"Haah, haaah, hah." Rapid breaths could be heard from the both of them, evidently exhausted from the spar.
"Hahaha, Fatty Lai we're soon going to be at the middle-stage of the 9th Level. In a week or 2 perhaps we can reach The Foundation Establishment Realm."
Fatty Lai laughed as well. "I wouldn't be surprised if this Young Master here reached in 5 days! After all I'm a once-in-a-lifetime seen genius!"
Zhou Huang's mouth twitched. "Tsk! Give him an inch and he takes a mile."
"Alright Fatty, let's go pack up and leave for the Starlight Academy registration in 2 days."
Inside one of the Clan Buildings filled to the brim with Furniture and Buildings
"Uncle! I heard that Zhou Huang and that Fatty Lai are going to leave for the Starlight Academy soon! You must help me get revenge against those 2 trashes!" Futian's fist were clenched up tightly, as you could see the blue viens popping out; clearly furious.
Futian could be seen talking to an elder, about 60 years of age in a complete set of black robes. This elder was non-other than Zhou Guoqing. He continued writing his poems as if Futian wasn't here and speaking.
"Uncle, you must help me!" Futian called out again hastily.
Zhou Guoqing placed the inkbrush gently atop of the inkstone.
"Sigh Futian, you are at the 6th level of the True Profound Realm, how could you lose to a mere outsider who was adopted?! You've disgraced me!"
Futian's face ashened as he cried out, "Uncle, you've got it all wrong! How could I lose to him? He probably used some demonic arts to forcefully raise his strength!"
How could Futian who's been arrogant and spoiled since young admit that he lost in a fight against an outsider?
Evidently, Guoqing also caught on to what he was thinking. He let out another sigh.
"Forget it, I will help you deal with it just this once. I also want to see how an outsider have the guts to act so ruthlessly towards one of us Zhou's."
Futian's face and eyes immediately lit up upon hearing his Uncle's words. "Zhou Huang, Fatty Lai, we'll just see how much longer you can spend your time in peace!" He thought to himself.
Zhou Huang and Fatty Lai were coincidentally talking about the matter of Futian.
"Brother Zhou, it's been 3 days since we've beaten Futian and he has done nothing! Do you think he got scared of me?" Fatty Lai chuckled.
"I doubt it, someone who's been acting so arrogant and has yet to suffer from a defeat most likely won't take this lying down. Don't forget he's the nephew of an elder at the 2nd Level in the True Foundation Realm."
"Brother Zhou, what do we do then? We both have yet to even reach the first level of the Foundation Realm, we surely won't be able to deal with him." Completely different from a moment ago, Fatty Lai was scared silly as he unconsciously mumbled.
"Let's leave right now before he get's to us, after all, the future belongs to those who prepares today."
Zhou Huang and Fatty Lai placed their baggage with their clothes, food, water and 4 lightly shaded orange monster cores on their back. After they packed everything, they decided to not underestimate the Zhou Clan and immediately dashed out of the sect and plateau towards the city.
Beasts cores or Monster Cores are obtained from Profound Beasts. Profound Beasts are dangerous to humanity. Scattered throughout the world, humans hunt these beasts and these beasts hunt humans. Profound Beasts are usually tiers above the normal animals you see, as they are generally much more intelligent and can cultivate as well.
Profound Beasts are categorized in the same cultivation system as humans. However their cores are different based on their cultivation level. These cores are seperated into 8 different colors each having a different shading to it. The cores are ranked in colors by; red, orange, yellow, green, golden, blue, white and black with each core having 3 different shades. Dim, Light and Bright. A Profound Beast at the Qi-Refining Stage only drops red cores, whereas Profound Beasts from the True Profound Practitioner only drop Orange cores; and so forth. Profound Beasts at the early stages in a realm generally give off dim magical cores, with the middle stages giving off a faint light colored core, and the late giving off a very bright shade of color. However, not every Profound beasts have cores as they are quite rare; it also depends on luck. You can kill 500 profound beasts ranked at the early stages of the True Profound Realm and might only gain 50 dim orange cores.
"Uncle, Uncle!" Futian shouted as he dashed into the pavilion building.
"That Zhou Huang and Fatty Lai left the clan and are nowhere to be seen!"
Guoqing immediately furrowed his brows as he emitted a slight killing intent scaring Futian, making him take a few steps back.
"Since they've left, then let them; they're probably going to enter the trials of Starlight Academy and we can't afford to interfere with their matters. My nephew, you must enter Starlight Academy and attain your revenge there. There also might be a chance for you to kill him during the trials so do look out for opportunities."
Futian's morale was aroused. "Yes! I will show those 2 pieces of trash what it means to anger the Zhou Clan!"
Elder Guoqing nodded, being satisfied.
