The Geared Immortal

An Academy Life: 6

/*unedited*/

Two people are clashing against one another with their figure appearing and disappearing everywhere like two ghosts or shadows. The only thing that can be heard are echoes of weapons and fists clashing together.

Guxian Deng is currently having a hard time controlling the already rampaging energy within his body. He has barely kept himself alive until now even after clashing with Shin Jiao for a couple of times due to his artifact. But it consumes too much of his Qi and blood essence which made him weaker as time goes by.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, felt really interested in the artifact on Guxian Deng's hand. This is because he noticed that every time he would attack his opponent a strange of dark green smoke would counter him almost immediately.

This made Shin Jiao felt a little excited as fighting Guxian Deng who has a weird artifact is worth his time. In his time in this land, this is the first low-leveled opponent he had which took him a while to defeat.

"You are really worthy to be able to force me to show you my full strength. But I guess this is not your full power yet right?" Guxian Deng said with a satisfied grin on his face.

Though he tried his hard to fake it only Shin Jiao has already noticed the weakening of his movements and attacks.

"I think you are not worthy for me to show my true strength." Shin Jiao said nonchalantly as he took a step forward while waving his hand to hide the black katana sword on his hand.

"Tsk, you're too full of yourself, then let me show you my true strength then…" Guxian Deng said as he suddenly made some gestures in the air.

Shin Jiao suddenly felt the air around him move towards the symbol that Guxian Deng wrote on air. Then he felt the elements and Qi in the surroundings began to be sucked inside that symbol which then started to form into a whirlpool of energy and elements.

"Such terrifying power, he is trying to borrow the Qi in the area and his artifact is trying to absorb everything in a rapid manner… This is getting interesting." Shin Jiao thought as he just stood in place and observe the process.

"Hehe… now you see my power and you are already scared stiff. It's already too late fool; I will kill you with this move." Guxian Deng said as he suddenly stretched forth his hand and the accumulated energy within the artifact suddenly burst out from the mouth of the urn.

A dark green beam of pure chaotic energy rushed towards Shin Jiao's position and a loud explosion suddenly destroyed the area where Shin Jiao is. This smoke of dust and debris are everywhere making it hard for Guxian Deng to see everything clearly.

"Heh… that's what you get for daring to challenge me. Fool…" he said as he quickly scanned the area of the explosion.

Though he is already weakened after that attack he is confident that his opponent is also not faring well and with his vicious move, he is sure that he could kill or wounded heavily his target.

But as soon as his spiritual sense saw the place clearly, his figure suddenly stiffens.

A cold metallic object is now resting in-between his shoulder and his neck.

Shin Jiao is now standing behind him with his sword millimeters away from cutting his neck.

"You lose… time to die then." Shin Jiao said.

But before he can cut the head of Guxian Deng... A sudden strong pressure was emitted from behind making Shin Jiao suddenly jump forward.

"What a powerful aura… If I didn't evade it could have locked me in place." Shin Jiao said with cold sweat dripping on his forehead.

Though he can fight the person emitting that aura, however, if he was ambushed then he is sure to lose. That person is clearly a cultivator in the infant soul realm, which means that it was a teacher.

So without a choice, he needed to take a step back.

"How dare you commit atrocities in the academy! You will have to pay with your life!" an overbearing booming male voice reverberated through the air.

Then from Shin Jiao's line of sight, he saw two figures floating down from above. Both are wearing the academy official blue-green robe for teachers. One is a male who looks like in his late 30's and the other one is a very beautiful female in her late 20's.

What made Shin Jiao amazed is the female as she is already in the primary-stages of the infant soul realm at such a young age.

If she is not a genius cultivator then what is she? If he can take a guess then she should have a very rare red or violet quality spiritual root.

But that is not the least of his problem as he can clearly see the anger on both of the teacher's eyes and that he is the target of their ire.

"You are a new student yet you have already committed such a crime. Tsk, tsk… If I don't break you then our academy would become a lawless place." The man said.

"Teacher he attacked those two seniors and killed them maliciously. I and my brother saw everything clearly." Suddenly the voice of Bushan Deng coming from behind the two can be heard.

"Yes, that is right. I hold him back here and almost lost my life. This student is really malicious teacher, Cong Feng." Guxian Deng said while wiping the blood from the side of his mouth.

Right now he is feeling the backlash of using too much of his Qi.

"Hahaha… Then you shall receive your just desserts. I will personally cripple you in front of the academy." The teacher named Cong Feng said with a sinister glint in his eyes that suddenly disappear and changed with a righteous disposition.

He quickly stretched forth his hand a wanted to restrain Shin Jiao using his spiritual Qi force.

But before he can exert strength, Shin Jiao's figure suddenly disappears and appears a few meters away from them.

"I didn't think that the teachers in this prestigious academy are also despicable." Shin Jiao said with a sneer in his face.

If worst comes to worst, Shin Jiao is prepared to use his trump card and escape this place. So he is not afraid of the two teachers who came.

In the academy, Cong Feng is a well-known teacher in the martial technique class. He teaches actual basic fighting techniques and skills.

He is known to be in favor of the strong and would always never put his attention to those weak ones. Though he is very haughty and prideful, yet his achievement in the school spoke well of his talent as a teacher. Plus, he has a very strong backer.

As a person who grew up in the prestigious Feng clan of the Great Wu city, Cong Feng has a very strong foundation in both martial techniques and his cultivation. But though he favors the strong he has never gotten any accomplishment for the academy.

Today he was scolded by the Dean of the martial technique course and became enraged. He heard that someone in his class causes trouble, and when he saw Bushan Deng his anger suddenly has a direction. But before he can scold the young man, he heard that the cause of his grievance is someone that Bushan Deng and his brother trapped.

Unlucky for the two, another teacher heard this and stopped them.

And now that he has a chance to appease his anger he didn't want to waste any more time and energy. A mere gold core realm dared to fight against him a powerful infant soul realm cultivator, he is clearly courting death.

So without a word, he immediately chased after Shin Jiao's figure and tried to lock him in place. But as soon as his spiritual sense locks on Shin Jiao he would disappear from where he stood.

"What!? Are you trying to rebel against the school! If I don't kill you myself then this is tarnishing our school's reputation." Shouted Cong Feng as his figure suddenly disappears and appear next to Shin Jiao.

With a swing of his arm, a strong gust of wind was created. With Cong Feng's raw strength alone, it is enough to kill Shin Jiao who is a realm lower in cultivation.

Without a choice, Shin Jiao fully uses his shadow steps to evade the attack, but it was to no avail. No matter how fast Shin Jiao is, Cong Feng was still able to hit him with only the gust of wind throwing him a few meters back.

"Damn this man… If you think I will accept this lying down then, you are dreaming." Shin Jiao cursed within his mind.

Though he didn't receive any damages from this exchange it is already clear that his opponent is far stronger than him.

When Cong Feng saw that his attack missed, he immediately rushed in to chase after Shin Jiao but was suddenly blocked by a beautiful figure.

"That is enough teacher Feng… you are very impulsive and impatient. You should not attack anyone in the academy without any proof." A beautiful voice echoed through the air making all the men stop from their tracks.

The beautiful woman stood in front of Shin Jiao with her heroic figure facing Cong Feng.

This made Cong Feng felt shamed.

In truth one of the reasons why he wanted to subdue Shin Jiao as soon as possible is also to acquire the admiration of this beautiful woman facing him.
