Chapter 179 Pride is Unreasonable
Ruohan had already finished his cultivation, and his level directly advanced by two levels, a truly significant achievement.
Ruohan gazed at Feng Jiutian from afar, then approached hesitantly: "Are you a mage of all magic systems?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian turned around and looked at Ruohan with a puzzled expression.
After all, in her opinion, this prodigy shouldn't have such a good temper, yet he was defeated by her and still spoke to her so calmly.
Ruohan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I want to compete with you again, both using fire-based techniques."
Ruohan looked at Feng Jiutian with resentment.
Feng Jiutian instantly understood, and a slight, mocking smile curled his lips.
She had always thought that such a young master from a prominent family would have some integrity, but now it seems he's nothing special.
Do you think you lost because of her being from a different department?
"My strength is what it is, and I don't want to engage in pointless competition."
Feng Jiutian said without any politeness, his eyes coldly glaring at Ruohan, full of mockery.
Ruohan clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to calm down.
He was the only son of a prominent family, and everyone treated him with utmost respect. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
However, he was also very proud, and after being defeated by a woman, he was unwilling to accept it and refused to believe it.
Ruohan opened his mouth, about to say something, when a playful voice interrupted him: "Junior, you're all done too? Today's the day we go out. I wonder how everyone's harvest is."
Fengzhi ran over, waving happily, looking very excited; it seemed she had made quite a haul.
Feng Jiutian couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Is she the only one who hasn't made any progress? However, the improvement in her mental strength is certainly a gain!
Once the five people had gathered, a halo appeared in the training ground.
Feng Jiutian glanced sideways at the training ground behind him, his gaze deep.
She hasn't finished exploring this space yet, and she will definitely find another opportunity to come and investigate it thoroughly in the future.
"Stop looking, we're leaving," Fengzhi whispered a reminder from the side.
Feng Jiutian withdrew his gaze and walked into the circle of light without hesitation.
When they came to their senses, they had already arrived at the Royal Academy's territory.
"You're back. How was your harvest?" Yun walked over with a light smile from a short distance away, his gaze calmly sweeping over the group.
When they reached Feng Jiutian, they frowned slightly in confusion, and, unwilling to believe it, used their spiritual power to investigate again.
With this prodigy's talent, how could he not have made any progress? He's still at the peak of the Master level!
Ji Yu had obviously noticed this situation as well. He paused for a moment, then pretended not to know and said, "It seems you've had quite a good harvest. Take a good rest. We'll be setting off for the Four Nations Competition another day."
"This is a guard who will be responsible for your safety and well-being during your future journey."
Ji Yu pointed to the expressionless guard beside him.
Feng Jiutian followed Ji Yu's gesture and looked over, slightly startled.
This guard appeared ordinary on the surface, seemingly without much strength, but the subtle aura emanating from him inexplicably instilled a sense of fear in Feng Jiutian.
This is the imposing aura of a powerful individual. This guard's rank is no lower than Ji Yu's!
Feng Jiutian lowered his eyes, concealing the astonishment in them.
As expected of the Royal Academy, they really went all out, sending out such a mentor-level figure. I suppose this level of guard is responsible for some very confidential matters within the academy.
The guard stared at Feng Jiutian, his eyes completely unmoved.
"Walk."
He said in a deep voice, then walked away without a care.
Feng Jiutian's gaze darkened, and he nodded to Yun and Ji Yu before turning slightly and following the guards away.
Feng Zhi and the others bowed to Ji Yu and then quickly followed Feng Jiutian, not daring to fall behind.
Because of the guards, the atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.
After a long while, they arrived in front of a pavilion. The guard stopped and looked coldly at the five people behind him.
"This is where you will stay. We will depart at noon tomorrow. I hope you will be ready when I arrive here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, completely disregarding the feelings of the others.
Feng Zhi and the others' expressions changed slightly.
They were all top students in the academy, carefully nurtured and taught by their mentors, and respected by their junior classmates. They had never received such treatment before.
"He's just a guard, he's not very capable but he's so powerful." Feng Zhi muttered softly, pouting with dissatisfaction.
Feng Jiutian glanced at her, said nothing, and stepped up to the pavilion. Seeing this, Qiang Huan followed closely behind, not falling behind.
Ji Xiao, who was standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate this guard. He can take charge of our future itinerary, so he definitely has enough strength."
After all, they knew the academy's character; for such an important large-scale event, they would definitely ensure safety and would never send an incompetent person to accompany them.
After hearing this, Feng Zhi didn't know what to say. She pouted and followed Ji Xiao into the attic with a wronged expression.
Ruohan, on the other hand, looked at the steps with a meaningful expression, as if she was pondering something.
"Why are you following me?" Feng Jiutian frowned, stopped in his tracks, and looked impatiently at Qiang Huan who was following closely behind him.
Qiang Huan blushed slightly: "I...I'd like to ask you about your combat experience..."
Qiang Huan stammered, looking cautiously at Feng Jiutian.
It is well known that Feng Jiutian's name is quite famous in the school. Ever since her reputation came out, Qiang Huan noticed this woman, and after their later sparring, she developed a strong admiration for her.
"Combat experience?" Feng Jiutian frowned and said coldly, "I can't teach you that."
Qianghuan's face turned pale instantly. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
"Combat experience is something you can only gain through personal experience; everyone's habits are different."
A deep male voice suddenly rang out from behind, relieving the awkward atmosphere.
Ruohan walked in slowly, with a gentle and refined demeanor: "Qianghuan, you are a mage, but Feng Jiutian practices dual cultivation. You cannot learn many of her techniques. You should spar with higher-level opponents more often to find your own way."
Qiang Huan's expression softened slightly, and she nodded cautiously, "Thank you..."
After watching Qiang Huan leave and return to her room, Ruo Han looked at Feng Jiutian with a half-smile.
"Aren't you afraid she'll hold a grudge against you? You're being so direct. She doesn't understand these things; she'll just think you're insulting her."
Feng Jiutian's expression remained unchanged, and he said disdainfully, "What am I afraid of?"
Ruohan suddenly chuckled softly.
This woman is still as arrogant and unreasonable as ever. She clearly means well, but she expresses it in such an awkward way.
