Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 8

by North Night (夜北)

  As all the difficult trials of spirit power cultivation were all well known to everyone, needless to say attaining the blue spirit at sixteen or seventeen years of age, even reaching the peak of the orange spirit at that age would have already required one to be highly gifted. To advance to the yellow spirit would then mean that person would have to the a prodigy among prodigies and even throughout the numerous numbers of academies, with the mere exception of the Dragon Slayers and the War Banner, there hadn’t been a disciple that had been able to breakthrough to the yellow spirit.

  And now the Zephyr Academy had just smashed and broken all these perceived norms and nonchalantly thrown out not one, but five youths with blue spirits!

  [How is the Spirit Battle Tournament going to carry on from here?]

  With the insurmountable difference of several spirit power levels, and with their complete and absolute dominance in their matches, the Zephyr Academy’s prestige and reputation was quickly reinstated, delivering hard merciless slaps to all those who were waiting to watch the Zephyr Academy being humiliated. The sudden appearance of the five blue spirits had also flabbergasted all of the many talent scouts hidden within the Imperial Capital who were sent here by various powers across the lands!

  Chapter 793 : “Zephyr Rises Once More”

  By the time Jun Wu Xie stepped out of her room, the Immortals’ Loft was already jam packed with loads of people. Hua Yao and the others were surrounded and squished in the middle by the mass of people, their faces looking highly impatient.

  “To the distinguished lady and all the gentlemen! I am from the Blue West City, may I ask if any of you has any requests or wishes you would like fulfilled? The Blue West City will provide you with the best terms!” A strong and burly built man asked, his hand opened wide, putting forth a welcoming gesture to the companions.

  “I am from the Green Flower Castle! If any of you gentlemen are interested in joining…..”

  “I am…..”

  “…..”

  The sea of people pushed and surged, blocking off all avenues of escape for the five companions, rows upon rows of people fighting to get their attention.

  Fan Jin who had just taken up the position of Headmaster recently was also being endlessly hounded. The invitations flying in from the many powers all over the lands were like falling raindrops in a storm. The previously bare and quiet Immortals’ Loft had on the night after the first round of the Spirit Battle Tournament suddenly become the most popular spot to visit in the entire Imperial Capital of the Yan Country, and the steps before the doors were almost crumbling from innumerable steps from the people coming in.

  “Not interested! Can all of you let us pass! ?” Qiao Chu’s face was one filled with displeasure. They had waited the whole day before getting their first battle over and done with and were happily looking forward to coming back to the Immortals’ Loft to get some welcome rest and grumble and complain together with their companions a little. Who knew that they had just stepped into the Immortals’ Loft when this had happened. They did not even have time to reach their rooms and they had suddenly found themselves blockaded by all these people and the way forward was impassable, where they wasn’t even space for them to put their foot down anywhere else to move.

  If not for the fact that they were thinking that this was exactly what the reputation of the Zephyr Academy needed at that moment, they would have all summoned their powers and driven everyone out of there immediately.

  Jun Wu Xie was highly surprised by the sudden sea of people before her eyes. She had not known how big a ruckus Hua Yao and the others had kicked up when they showed their powers at the Spirit Battle Tournament. As her eyes saw that the crowd surrounding Hua Yao and the others was growing bigger by the minute, Jun Wu Xie wisely took two quiet steps backwards. She was already small in size and the people’s attention were all focused on Qiao Chu and the others, so naturally, nobody had noticed that there was one more “escapee”.

  Jun Wu Xie retreated back into a slightly more quiet corner, her arms clasped across her chest, staring calmly and unaffectedly at Qiao Chu and gang looking highly frustrated within the crowd.

  “Everyone! Our academy disciples had just finished with their first round of the tournament and they need to rest! If there is anything you need to say, you can tell it to me, but I would ask that you do not disrupt our disciples rest.” With no other choice out of the situation, Fan Jin could only try to divert all that attention upon himself.

  Once those words were spoken, the anxious crowd immediately settled down somewhat as they all turned their eyes towards Fan Jin. Their minds were all quickly trying to decide whether it would be better to present their terms directly to the disciples, or would it be more appropriate to discuss them with Fan Jin.

  At the moment that everyone were all still trying to decide on which choice to make, Qiao Chu managed to spot the completely unaffected Jun Wu Xie in the corner. When he saw Jun Wu Xie give him a slight nod, he immediately released his spirit powers in a bright blue flare!

  In an instant, the people surrounding the companions immediately fell back, none of them daring to enrage a blue spirit.

  When they saw Qiao Chu and his companions exhibiting strong looks of impatience on their faces, the group of people quickly turned and flocked towards Fan Jin.

  “Headmaster Fan Jin, can we talk?”

  Fan Jin smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly, while he waved forlornly at Qiao Chu and the others who had been spared the drudgery as he lead the mass of people to the main hall on the first level, fully accepting his fate.

  “Sweet Heavens! I almost lost my life there for a moment.” As the crowd dispersed, Qiao Chu plopped back wearily onto a chair at the side. Thinking back to earlier when he had been surrounded and seen as a prized catch really caused the goosebumps to crawl over his body.

  Chapter 794 : “Zephyr Rises Once More (3)”

  Fei Yan and the others followed suit and sat down as well, looking well flustered and bothered.

  “All of you won resounding victories?” Jun Wu Xie walked slowly to come before the others. Judging from the situation at the Immortals’ Loft, she could very well guess how Qiao Chu and the others done at the tournament.

  To have made the various powers from all over the lands change their opinion of the Zephyr Academy in a short half day, besides having Qiao Chu and all the others completely crushing their opponents to win at the Spirit Battle Tournament, there could be no other possibility.

  Qiao Chu took a deep breath and lifted the badge on his chest before he said with a grin: “It wasn’t just resounding, we didn’t even need to make a second move and it had ended.”

  They hadn’t really meant to humiliate their opponents, but their opponents had really been too weak and they had not even been able to show off their skills.

  All of the opponents that Qiao Chu and the others had battled with were either red spirits or orange spirits. There had been too great a difference between their spirit power levels and even if they did not use their abilities to temporarily raise their spirit powers, they were still able to defeat their opponents within a split second.

  “But seriously speaking….. Suddenly having to raise my hand against people of the Lower Realm, I am still not very used to it.” Fei Yan said, staring at his own pair of hands. Back at the Phoenix Academy, Yan Bu Gui strictly forbade them from fighting with people from the Lower Realm and although people from the Middle Realm mainly relied on temporarily raising their spirit power levels to cultivate which allowed them to attain the power of the Purple Spirit, but the different methods employed for their cultivation allowed people from the Middle Realm to grow and progress more quickly, which resulted in the companions, who were all already highly gifted at birth, to be able to win such beautiful and resounding victories in the Lower Realm.

  All this while, the only people Fei Yan and the others have fought against were mainly only people from the Mid
dle Realm, or enemies who were more advanced in age and already possessed a certain level of power. But this time, they were facing youths who were of a similar age with them and their level of power was ….. They could find no other words than “tragically weak” to describe it.

  “I was feeling the same thing. I think we have been mixing too long with Little Xie and I have forgotten the disparity between the Lower and Middle Realms! I kept thinking that the two are largely similar but it is obvious to see now. We were not biased in our understanding of the different realms but it was just that Little Xie has broken all their boundaries and misled us all.”

  Qiao Chu said, his chin resting in his upturned palm, looking inquisitively at Jun Wu Xie.

  If the speed of the companions’ progress in their spirit power cultivation was considered fast, then that demonic monstrous Little Xie could only be described as “maniacal” and “insane”. She was obviously a little brat from the Lower Realm, but the progress she was making was much faster than anyone of them there!

  If not for the Spirit Battle Tournament battles today, they would have really pegged the standards of power in the Lower Realm to Jun Wu Xie’s.

  And the battles today had let them clearly realised how big a gap there was between the Lower and Middle Realms, and at the same time….. Just how inconceivably demonic Jun Wu Xie was through and through!

  “And you are from the Lower Realm. If you had been born in the Middle Realm, wouldn’t you be attempting to break through to the Purple Spirit by now?” Qiao Chu exclaimed, looking more and more amazed by Jun Wu Xie’s astounding powers.

  Jun Wu Xie glared at Qiao Chu and said calmly: “My ring spirit is different from ordinary people.”

  She did not think that she possessed extraordinary gift in the cultivation of spirit power. It was just a matter of chance and coincidence that she had inherited the shell body’s ring spirit. The cultivation method for plant based ring spirits were highly abnormal. As long as the right conditions were met, her cultivation would not only be extremely fast, it also did not require much effort from her.

  “Luck is a big part of one’s power as well.” Qiao Chu said with a forlorn sigh. Jun Wu Xie wasn’t the only one who possessed a plant based ring spirit. But many of those who possessed it had not even been aware that their ring spirits had awakened throughout their entire life, and moreover….. Possessing a ring spirit like this, was both a good thing, and a bad thing.

  The speed in the progress of their cultivation might be something to be happy about, but the additional dangers that came with it was not something the average person would be able to bear!

  Volume 8

  Chapter 795 : “Zephyr Rises Once More (4)”

  The existence of her plant series ring spirit had forced Jun Wu Xie to have to stand up to the Twelve Palaces’ persecution, and this one point alone would be enough to make people wish that they had never possessed such an unusual ring spirit.

  “After today’s battles in the different arenas, the reputation of the Zephyr Academy would once again shoot up to reach another pinnacle. I’m afraid the situation today will be recurring on a rather regular basis, and if we do not wish to continue having to deal with those people, we will need to find a suitable way to defuse the situation.” Rong Ruo said looking at her companions.

  The main reason that they had taken part in the Spirit Battle Tournament was to once again raise up the Zephyr Academy’s reputation, but as all of them would not be returning to the Zephyr Academy after the Spirit Battle Tournament concludes, they were not able to accept any of the invitations and offers from the various powers. But as long as they continued to remain in the Imperial Capital, and were still taking part in the tournament, their reputations would only continue to grow, and the number of people that would approach them with invitations and offers in attempts to poach them would also continue to increase.

  “The easiest way to do that would be to attach ourselves to a certain power.” Fan Zhuo said as he tapped his finger rhythmically on the table’s surface.

  As long as they were seen to have pledged their loyalty to a certain power, the others would then give up on their attempts on them and seek out other targets.

  “Lei Chen?” Hua Yao asked with a brow raised. He still remembered that in the two times that they had met Lei Chen, he had displayed high “interest” towards the Zephyr Academy.

  “Lei Chen might have seemingly expressed strong interest towards the Zephyr Academy, but instead of saying that he is interested in the Zephyr Academy as a whole, I would say his focus is more on Little Xie in particular.” Fan Zhuo said as his gaze turned to fall on Jun Wu Xie. “Although on both of those occasions he had tried very hard to hide his interest in Little Xie, his intentional endearing form of address used had however exposed his underlying target. If my guess is correct, Little Xie’s identity in the Zephyr Academy has already been leaked to him.”

  “Leaked? Why do you mean?” Qiao Chu asked, scratching at his head, his mind hopelessly befuddled.

  Fan Zhuo continued to explain: “As a disciple of the Spirit Healer faculty, the one and only disciple personally acknowledged by Gu Li Sheng, and the one disciple who reconstructed the Spirit Healing Technique.”

  “How would Lei Chen know all that?” Qiao Chu asked.

  “Although the Zephyr Academy is rather far away from the Zephyr Academy from the Yan Country and Lei Chen would not be able to receive news about the academy directly within a short period of time, do not forget that a large part of the Zephyr Academy’s disciples had left and many of them would have been scattered in many academies across the lands. And if Lei Chen had developed an interest in the Zephyr Academy, he would have sent his men to look into all our identities. Brother Hua, Qiao Chu, Little Yan, Little Ruo and my identities would be clear and easy to understand, at least on the surface. You guys were promoted into the main division from the branch selections and I’m the second son of the Fan Family. But Little Xie’s identity would be the most outstanding one among all of us.” Fan Zhuo said and paused a moment, as a faint smile came onto his face.

  “I think, as long as Lei Chen is not a moron, he would realise the implications behind the existence of Little Xie. It would be impossible to poach Gu Li Sheng from the Zephyr Academy and against Gu Li Sheng’s unique identity, even Lei Chen would have to weigh and consider his options carefully with his schemes. But with such a prize like Little Xie who was although still at such a young age, nevertheless possessed knowledge of the Spirit Healing Technique that rivaled Gu Li Sheng before his eyes, how could Lei Chen resist it and let the prized opportunity slip by?

  “After all that’s been said, the reason that Lei Chen had come all the way here the last time was just because he wanted to recruit Little Xie then?” It all suddenly dawned on Qiao Chu. He had wondered why Lei Chen had been so enthusiastic towards Little Xie then and thought that Lei Chen had discovered Jun Wu Xie’s true gender. In the end….. He had just thought too much into it!

  “Based on what we seek to find here, attaching ourselves to Lei Chen might be the best choice to make.” Fan Zhou concluded.

  Chapter 796 : “Zephyr Rises Once More (5)”

  “Little Xie, what do you think?” Fan Zhuo finally still chose to let Jun Wu Xie to make the decision as up till that moment, Jun Wu Xie’s stratagem had never led them into any major problems.

  Jun Wu Xie looked calmly at Fan Zhuo and the others. Whatever Fan Zhuo had told all of them, she had naturally thought about it before. But just as Fan Zhuo had said, their best option now would be to link up to Lei Chen. Afterall, Lei Chen had already taken the first step for them and regardless whether it was to discourage all the pesky talent scouts or to make it easier for them to find the map, linking up with Lei Chen would be the obvious choice for them.

  “We’ll do that.” Jun Wu Xie said with a nod.

  “Then, do we need to make a trip to the Crown Prince’s Residence now?” Qiao Chu opened his mouth to
ask. He could still distinctly remember that Jun Wu Xie’s attitude towards Lei Chen the last two times they met had been extremely cold and indifferent.

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

  “He will come offering himself at our door.”

  If Lei Chen had initially come to the Immortals’ Loft because of her Spirit Healing, then after Qiao Chu and the others had put up such brilliant display of their extraordinary powers, Lei Chen would be sure to suddenly realise that the Zephyr Academy in its decline was still of much more great worth, and he wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip by him.

  And Jun Wu Xie’s words had materialised very soon after that.

  Just as Fan Jin was still busy handling the talent scouts and people from all the various powers, the horse carriage of the Crown Prince’s Residence slowly rolled to a stop before the doors of the Immortals’ Loft. Lei Chen came down from the carriage and his eyes were met with the squeezy crowd within the Immortals’ Loft.

  Just one glance and Lei Chen’s eyes narrowed. But that expression on his face was quickly replaced by a smile, looking just like the usual amicable and approachable Crown Prince as he walked slowly into the hall on the ground level.

  All the people who were here trying to recruit the disciples of the Zephyr Academy suddenly saw the figure of Lei Chen among them. The entire hall suddenly fell silent everyone’s eyes turned to the Crown Prince.

  “I am glad that everyone holds the Zephyr Academy in such high regard. But the Spirit Battle Tournament has only just begun and no matter what issues you have with them, I would like to request that everyone does not disturb the much needed rest of the disciples of the Zephyr Academy.” Lei Chen said in a gentle and friendly tone, with a wide smile on his face.
