Upon entering the academy, the escort aka hell guards guided YingLei towards the principal office. In the pricipal office the principal was enjoying his jot cup of tea when he heard a knock on his door.
The principal said:
"Enter. Cut to the chase I am enjoying my tea." with a hint of anger
A teacher came informing the principal a new student arrived just like the letter stated. The principal immdiately order the teacher to bring him in. Upon seeing YingLei he said:
"You must be the new student, YingLei. Welcome to Scarlet Academy. I am Zuo Yan the principal of Scarlet Academy If there are any question please asked away."
YingLei took this chance to ask about cultivation stages and the principal replied:
"Body refining, Energy Gathering, Energy Stablizing, Energy Purifying, Golden Core,
Spirit Enhancing." This are the current realm you should know as even the baron i only a peak 2nd stage spirit enhancing. While the respective family head are at early to late 2nd stage spirit enhancing and they are in their late 70s even though life do extend as cultivation is higher. This is the arduous part about cultivating. But remember tough times don't last only tough man do."
YingLei asked
"Is there a possiblity to fly by controlling energy?"
The principal said
"Yes, Once one break into void realms they do. But to reach that high is almost impossible unless you are cultivating in the city they is guard by an earl as the energy there is much dense and pure."
YingLei continued asking
"When will the first class start?"
The pricipal replied
"In a weeks time, meanwhile you can get use to the surronding of this city. Oh, whatever you do, don't anger the 3 family not even one of them. The three family are Nangong, Beimei and Tuoba family among them only few know that the nangong family in this place is just merely a branch family so please don't mess with it. Talking about branch, this academy is also just a small branch. If, our student have potential and can do better we will send them to the county to carry on their training, so do your best in this academy."
YingLei bowed and left the principal office with the escorts. After awhile a figure appear in the shadow in the pincipal office. The principal kneeled to that figure and said
"Long Live The Principal."
The figure replied
"No matter what happen, YingLei must not be harm in anyway or else even i can't do anything to save this place."
The principal replied
"This young one understood."
The figure nodded and left as if he never was there. While the prinicpal clothes was soaked in sweat.
While walking along the street, YingLei smelled a strong aroma coming from a nearby restaurant. YingLei decided to follow the aroma. After a few minutes of walking, YingLei and his escorts stood infront of the restaurant entrance which was named "Ascension Haven" not one dare to insult it as this restaurant can be found in almost every city in the empire. As YingLei stepped in,
A random customer commented
"Wow this high restaurant is actually having beggars now eh?"
Another commented
"I agree is this place not meant for the rich? What is a damn beggar doing here?"
This comment was naturally aimed at YingLei as his clothes are still the same one he worn back at the baron lands. Thus in their eyes YingLei was no different from a beggar.YingLei ignore them and continue admiring the restaurant grandness, while the escort wait at the sides. But unlike them those waiters know full well even if YingLei is a beggar, those people behind him are someone not even the baron dare to mess with.
The reason why the waiters are able to tell was because they are from the energy gathering realm though they can't see but they try to use a string of energy to test them and the string weren't even able break pass the energy barrier form by the guards even after several tries from all direction which shoudl have be broken through if one is a the energy purifying realm or below thus this proved that this guards are alot stronger than they look. The reason why energy purifying realm barrier can be broken after several tries is because to form barrier one must have absolute control over the energy and to makes it dense all around one body one must atleast be a golden core or they have exceptionally high amount of energy to spare.
A waiter approach YingLei as he could tell from the way the guard acts YingLei must be the one they are following.
The waiter said
"This restaurant have 6 floors total having the last floor only for VIP such as the elders or head of the 3 families or the baron or the academy principal. While the 5th floor are reserved for descendant of the 3 family or baron or one with a silver VIP card from our restaurant. The 4th floor are reserved for the wealthy merchant, alchemtis and blacksmith. 1st to 3rd floor are for everyone the higher the floor the more expensive the dishes are. May I know which floor you are wishing to go."
The leader of the escort flashed a card to the waiter. The waiter bowed and said
"I will bring a guide please wait."
The waiter proceed to the room where the restaurant manager is and knock on the door.
The manager said
"Enter. Make it quick. If it is no urgent leave immdiately."
The waiter when in and said
"Someone brought a black gold card."
The manager stood up and rush to meet them. When he saw YingLei he had an annoyed expression and immdiately gave YingLei a kick and told his waiters,
"Why none of you are kicking him out? When have my restaurant been meant for beggars?"
The leader saw that YingLei got kick and shivered before dealing a killing blow towards the manager. While the guards went and helped YingLei up. Everyone at the scene was shocked that the manager a peak 9th Golden core realm was killed in one move. After that all the guard and the leader beg and kneel asking for mercy from YingLei but YingLei just told them to get up. They know YingLei is someone who speak little so they obeyed.
