Chapter 167: Don’t Humiliate This Old Man!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qian Wanguan asked someone to go apply for the participation in the Kingdom War. The college’s registration list had been submitted for a long time. That list was most probably about to arrive at the Stellarsky City.

Registering now?

If it was anyone else, the mentor would have given him a few tight slaps; but Jiang Yi’s name had a kind of magical power. The mentor didn’t say anything and immediately went to report. The college’s overseeing vice principal didn’t dare to make any decision and personally went to ask for instructions from the Principal.

With a wave of Zhuge Qingyun’s hand, it had been approved!

One of the vice principals personally came to look for Jiang Yi, asking if he would need any guards during the trip? If he required any, the vice principal could personally escort him. Jiang Yi rejected the offer tactfully and politely, stating that he would definitely be able to catch up with the rest of the main group before they reached the royal capital.

After everything went smoothly at the college’s side, Jiang Yi was completely at ease. Qian Wanguan began to prepare information regarding the Kingdom War and some daily necessities—he even asked someone to specially arrange ten God-Exterminating Crossbows.

Jiang Yi didn’t set off immediately; instead, he went to the Hall of Divine Monument. He wanted to try and realize the Massacre Intent to see whether was he able to realize the third stage of the Massacre Intent.

After trying to realize it for two hours, he wasn’t even able to make contact with the restriction on the Divine Monument. Jiang Yi had no choice but to leave. When he exited the Hall of Divine Monument, he went straight to the Library Pavilion and picked three earth-tier superior grade martial skills, which were within the limits of his privileges. He studied it all the way till midnight, before heading back to his lodgings.

Qian Wanguan had already prepared everything comprehensively. Jiang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as Qian Wanguan even prepared plenty of delicacies like wine, dried fruits, and meat which could be stored for some time. Jiang Yi didn’t reject his good intention and stored everything into the Fire Spirit Pearl. There was a huge space within the Fire Spirit Pearl which could store even more than 10,000 folds of the things here.

God-Exterminating Bow. Great stuff!

Picking up the ten sets of God Exterminating Bow and counting the several hundred crossbow bolts, Jiang Yi pursed up his lips and didn’t say anything. He went back into his room to have a good sleep. After tonight, he might not have the chance to have any more good sleep.

On the next day, before the sun had even risen, Jiang Yi was up early and having a sumptuous meal with Qian Wanguan. He then stayed in Jiang Xiaonu’s room for 30 minutes. He patted on Qian Wanguan’s shoulder and smiled before waving his hand and slowly walking out.

Qian Wanguan didn’t say anything and also didn’t send Jiang Yi off. He just smiled and waved his hand; his pair of tiny eyes had already narrowed into a fine seam. After Jiang Yi walked out of the courtyard—when his back was no longer visible, Qian Wanguan silently wiped off the tears that well up in the edge of his eyes.

Men shall not cry this easily!

As a young master of a great clan, he naturally wasn’t an emotional individual that liked feeling melancholy or moody. But at this moment, Qian Wanguan couldn’t hold back his emotions.

He knew that this trip of Jiang Yi’s was either going to be famed throughout the world or he would depart to the heavens forever.

...

The early morning in the Mt. Spirit Beast College was very scenic. The morning mist was rising in spirals, and the air was delightful.

As Jiang Yi moved swiftly towards the outside of the southern courtyard, he would occasionally meet some cadets who would look at him with eyes of fear, admiration, or worship. He, who was always conscientious, actually nodded and smiled lightly to these cadets for the first time. Most Write-In Cadets were overwhelmed by this action; some female cadets even brazenly offered their amorous glances, not even trying to conceal that blazing passion in their eyes.

Jiang Yi was soon out of the southern courtyard gates. The guards’ team that was stationed at the gates was surprised. Jiang Yi had never gone out during this period of time and would always be shut indoors, cultivating. Could it be that he couldn’t repress himself anymore and wanted to go the Spirit Beast City’s brothel to release some pent-up stress?

When Jiang Yi walked out of the southern courtyard gates, he stood outside of the massive gate and looked at the college with narrow eyes for a moment. After staying in this college for such a long time, he had already treated this place as his home. Now, he was finally going for a long journey and might never make it back in this life. His heart had this reluctant feeling to depart.

With Qian Wanguan taking care of Jiang Xiaonu, Jiang Yi felt reassured. He knew that even if he died, Jiang Xiaonu would carry on living—even if she was lying on the bed.

For the past ten thousand years, there were only a few dozen stalks of Soul-Subduing Herbs. Now that he had found one, Jiang Yi naturally couldn’t give up on it. Hence, even if he knew he had only a narrow chance of surviving, he still didn’t hesitate.

Jiang Yunhai had always taught him that a man had things to do and things not to do. As long as he believed that it was right, he should do it. Death wasn’t frightful; the truly frightful thing was when a martial artist didn’t have the determination to face death.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Yi took another deep glance at the Mt. Spirit Beast College and swiftly burst down the mountain. This was his first journey alone, but he didn’t seem to have any worries or anxiety; instead, he was calm and had the determination to risk it all.

“Swish!”

Suddenly, the sound of air being pierced could be heard coming from the college. Jiang Yi turned and was flabbergasted: he saw a black longsword flying straight towards him. The sword was glistening with a divine glow, and it was obviously a spirit artifact.

“Kid, don’t humiliate this old man on this journey! This Black Scale Sword was the weapon of this old man when I ventured the continent. It has been stained with countless fresh blood; don’t do any dishonor to it! I am bestowing this sword to you in respects to your mother. Your mother was a prodigy weaved by the heavens; this old man admits that I am not as good. You don’t humiliate her reputation as well!”

An aged and vigorous voice echoed. Jiang Yi’s eyes had this flash of radiance as he quickly grasped onto the black longsword with a single hand. He muttered for a moment and clasped his hand towards the college. He then swiftly descended Mt. Spirit Beast and vanished into the green boundless mountain.

“Principal, is there no need to escort him secretly?”

In the inner courtyard of the college, a vice principal spoke to Zhuge Qingyun with a worried look.

Zhuge Qingyun had these droopy eyelids like he was going to doze off. He didn’t even lift his head and waved his hand. “Even Jiang Bieli isn’t worried; why should I? Don’t worry. Yi Piaopiao’s son will not die this easily. What’s more, only after placing a tiger in a group of ferocious beasts could it truly become the king of all beasts. He will never mature if he was caged forever. Back then, which of us didn’t kill our way out of a pile of corpses?”

“Sigh...”

The vice principal looked towards the south and sighed indistinctly. “Jiang Yi has too many enemies that are too formidable. Principal, you didn’t release him deep into the mountains but threw him into a dragon’s den!”

...

Jiang Yi City!

Four hours after Jiang Yi set off, Jiang Rentu walked hurriedly into the Soaring Dragon Pavilion. He looked at Jiang Bieli, who was dealing with military affairs, and spoke imperatively, “Liege Lord, the Young Highness has descended the mountain. He is going to participate in the Kingdom War.”

“Oh, I got it!”

Jiang Bieli didn’t even lift his head and carry on evaluating the military affairs, treating Jiang Yi like an insignificant person.

Jiang Rentu waited for a moment to see if Jiang Bieli had any intention to continue speaking. His fierce-looking face shuddered before he spoke with a lowered voice, “Liege Lord. Zhangsun Wuji, Third Prince Xia Tian, and Shui Qianrou—all brought men to participate in the Kingdom War. Do you not know what this means? They are going to surround and kill the Young Highness.”

“What is there to make a fuss about?”

Jiang Bieli finally lifted his head and said indifferently, “It would be mediocrity to not have anyone jealous. There are plenty of people who want to kill me, but aren’t I living just fine? If a martial artist doesn’t experience any blood battles, how can he grow into a martial expert at that pinnacle? How many assassinations were attempted on you this year?”

“This is different...”

Jiang Rentu was nearly driven mad. What was wrong with the Liege Lord today? Was Jiang Yi no longer his son?

“Enough!”

Jiang Rentu originally wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Bieli’s dominant hand gesture. “Send my words: if anyone dares to touch Jiang Yi before the start of the Kingdom War, I will personally tear them apart! As for the events within the Kingdom War, if anyone can kill him, it is because of their capability. I will have no complaints. You are dismissed.”

Jiang Rentu let out a helpless sigh. When Jiang Bieli decided on something, no one was able to change it. Fortunately, he did speak out which meant that Jiang Yi was absolutely safe before the Kingdom War.

“Hmph!”

After Jiang Rentu withdrew, Jiang Bieli let out a snort and spoke indistinctly, “Yi Piaopiao, your son has a temperament of a tiger. He would rather die than bow to me? Does he want me to bow to him? I would want to see how capable he is...”
