61 -61 It was originally you who took the lead
When Mo Wangchen’s voice rose, everyone present was momentarily stunned, then turned to look.
Soon, they recognized him; it was indeed Mo Wangchen, the one who had had a conflict with Song Zhifeng earlier.
Three youths were also taken aback, but they only glanced at Mo Wangchen briefly.
Seeing that he was only at the third level of the Vein Condensation Realm, they did not take him seriously and indifferently said, “Everyone must pay; that’s the rule!”
“Oh?” Hearing their words, a puzzled look appeared on Mo Wangchen’s face, “Whose rule?
Set by the Academy?
I don’t think such an absurd rule could possibly exist at the Academy.”
“Uh?!”
As these words fell, everyone at the scene was alarmed, wondering whether he was openly defying them?
“Boy, looking for trouble?” Among the three, the leader named Lu Fengyu narrowed his eyes and looked over after hearing Mo Wangchen’s words.
“This is a rule of Star Wing Pavilion.
We have just come to inform you today.
Tomorrow, after everyone has received their Xuan Stones, you all need to hand over half.
Of course, you can choose not to, but I cannot guarantee…”
Lu Fengyu stopped there, not finishing his sentence, but everyone present understood his implication.
If they didn’t pay, their lives within the Outer Court under Star Wing Pavilion’s influence would probably not be very comfortable…
As one of the three major forces in the Outer Court, nobody doubted that if they really targeted someone, no one would dare to oppose them.
Not to mention, they were just newcomers!
Seeing everyone silent, Lu Fengyu sneered, “This time tomorrow, I will come again.
You newcomers better have your Xuan Stones ready, haha…”
After speaking, he left the place with the other two.
“Xuan Stones are required for cultivating in the Artifact Refining Tower; do we really have to give half to them?”
“What else can we do?
I have a cousin who joined the Academy three years ago, and even now, he dares not provoke Star Wing Pavilion.
It’s just this once; after all, let’s just pay…”
After Lu Fengyu and his companions left, the crowd frowned, clearly reluctant.
After all, the monthly allocation of Xuan Stones was only ten, and asking them to hand over half at once was indeed too much.
“You guys can do whatever you want, but I surely won’t be paying.”
However, just then, Mo Wangchen spoke indifferently, and turned around to leave.
“Bro, are you not afraid of Star Wing Pavilion’s retaliation?” someone asked, puzzled, to Mo Wangchen, who had just turned around.
“Retaliation?” Mo Wangchen snorted coldly.
“Star Wing Pavilion’s collection of Xuan Stones from newcomers is already violating the Academy’s rules.
What right do they have to retaliate against me?”
Hearing his words, Fan Wenxiao, who had been trying to curry favor with Song Zhifeng earlier, frowned and said, “That’s true, but it’s been like this for many years and the Academy has never intervened.
They might have tacitly accepted this rule.
We, who have just joined, if we offend Star Wing Pavilion…”
Mo Wangchen looked up and coldly glanced at Fan Wenxiao, speaking disdainfully, “Pardon my bluntness, but aren’t all of us who passed the assessment and joined the Academy supposed to be geniuses from various cities in Yun Country?
Can’t you show some backbone?
Feeding a tiger is asking for trouble.
The more timid you are, the more emboldened entities like Star Wing Pavilion, who stir trouble at the Academy, will become!”
“That’s right!
Even I am a seventh level Vein Condensation Realm cultivator, the top genius of Cangyi City in Yun Country, why should I be afraid of them?!”
As Mo Wangchen finished speaking, a slightly taller young man stepped forward, his face full of defiance.
“Now that’s the spirit!” Mo Wangchen nodded approvingly.
However, before he could continue, the young man suddenly changed his tune, “But I heard that Star Wing Pavilion, being one of the three major forces in the Outer Court, has countless strong members.
Just those who have reached the eighth level of Vein Condensation Realm are no less than a hundred, and there are more than a dozen at the ninth level…”
“Maybe…
we should just give them the Xuan Stones?”
“Do whatever you want then, farewell!” Mo Wangchen speechlessly refused to waste further words and made a gesture to leave.
“Bro, seeing how you bravely confronted Song Zhifeng, your strength seems quite remarkable.
Perhaps you’re among the top contenders here.
Could it be that you have some support inside the Academy?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t you be afraid of Star Wing Pavilion?” Fan Wenxiao suddenly called out to Mo Wangchen.
By now, he had grown utterly resentful towards Song Zhifeng; he had curried favor with him in vain, and now he faced this situation, yet Song Zhifeng turned out to be utterly useless.
“Support isn’t the word.
Inside the Inner Court of the Academy, I do have a disciple,” Mo Wangchen said without a second thought.
“Uh!”
Hearing this, the crowd was stunned.
Disciple? freewebnσvel.cøm
Inner Court?
Silently, they thought he really had some powerful backing.
Disciples in the Inner Court were all at the Spirit Transformation Realm, the true top geniuses of Yun Country.
Yet now, Mo Wangchen was telling them that someone in the Inner Court was his disciple?
Obviously, they did not believe it!
“Stop joking.
But seriously, if you don’t pay, and we all follow suit, I wonder what Star Wing Pavilion can really do to us when the time comes?” Fan Wenxiao said with a wry smile, still thinking Mo Wangchen was merely boasting.
“Right!
Why don’t we all refuse to pay?
Even if Star Wing Pavilion is arrogant, they can’t do much to so many of us, right?”
“Alright, let’s settle it then; bro, we are all with you in not paying!”
The crowd quickly decided, as if they had arranged it beforehand.
Mo Wangchen was taken aback and only after a moment did he react, “Wait, the way you all are talking, it sounds like I’m leading this.
If Star Wing Pavilion eventually doesn’t dare to deal with so many people at once, won’t I still be in trouble?”
“What do you mean by ‘feels like’?
You were the one who initiated the idea of not paying…” Fan Wenxiao muttered.
Hearing this, Mo Wangchen was completely at a loss for words.
After a silent moment, he suddenly had an idea, “Actually, I have a better proposal.
Why don’t we newcomers set up our own force?
If we unite, who would dare to bully us?”
The crowd was visibly excited by the idea.
“That’s a great idea!
There should be hundreds of new students joining the Academy this year.
Surely, the others also don’t want the seniors to take their Xuan Stones.
If we really can establish a force belonging to us newcomers, with hundreds united together…”
