Chapter 156 Patience Has Its Limits
Feng Jiutian put the incomplete book back into his ethereal space and strode towards the pavilion.
After walking a short distance, they heard a mocking voice: "Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this our little genius?"
A woman looked at Feng Jiutian with a mocking smile, her eyes filled with disdain.
Several people nearby chimed in, "Come on, don't try to scare me. A little genius? He's not even worthy of carrying my shoes. Students in the academy just love to exaggerate. I think she's just a bit good-looking."
The senior student chattered on and on, making Feng Jiutian frown deeply.
Feng Jiutian narrowed his eyes, not wanting to pay any more attention.
Having just obtained the incomplete manual, she was focused on returning to her cultivation and didn't want to say anything more to these overconfident people.
But Feng Jiutian didn't have time to listen to their arguing.
Feng Jiutian kept a sullen face, as if he didn't see them at all, not even sparing them a glance. He slightly turned his steps, preparing to walk around them, as if he loathed them.
If Feng Jiutian hadn't taken this attitude, things would have been fine. But the moment he did, the women instantly went wild.
"What do you mean! Are you looking down on me!" the leading woman shouted sharply, and a ball of fire suddenly landed in front of Feng Jiutian, forcefully blocking her path.
Feng Jiutian paused, his face cold.
"My patience has its limits."
The women were stunned for a moment, then became even angrier, cursing, "What are you pretending for if you have no ability! Look at her, acting like she's so great!"
The senior student who was leading the group stepped forward and said provocatively, "Feng Jiutian, I've long heard of your reputation as a little genius. Do you dare to compete with me? If you lose, you'll kneel down and beg for mercy, calling me 'sister.' If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me!"
Upon hearing this, the other two or three female seniors couldn't help but get excited.
You see, they came back specifically for this trip, and hearing about such a freakish genius, these proud and arrogant people naturally couldn't stand it.
So they blocked the road halfway, wanting to see what this so-called genius was like, but to their surprise, it turned out to be a little girl who had just sprouted, which made them doubt the rumors.
How much ability could a girl who looks like such a weak and delicate little sprout have? Yet she managed to go from being a useless student to a senior in just one or two months.
It took them no less than four years to advance to the upper grades!
This disparity immediately made these women feel somewhat unbalanced!
Feng Jiutian gave a cold smile: "You keep your word."
After saying that, his figure twisted into a strange angle and then disappeared.
The senior student was secretly alarmed. She had heard that it was Feng Jiutian's usual move, so she quickly and cautiously added several walls of fire around her.
Feng Jiutian lowered his gaze, his eyes cold and mocking. Without hesitation, he thrust out the dagger in his hand, and with a slight wave of his right hand, an icy blue light enveloped the wall of fire.
The senior student was startled and, before she could react, was knocked to the ground.
Feng Jiutian calmly gazed at his senior.
"You lost." His tone was completely unwavering. With his improved strength, it was only natural that he could defeat his senior without a doubt.
The senior student sat on the ground, her spiritual energy in chaos. She was secretly surprised, wondering when that good-for-nothing Feng Jiutian had become so powerful.
Are all the rumors circulating lately true?
A hint of resentment flickered in her eyes as she struggled to stand up, but her body remained limp and uncontrollable.
"Hmph, even if you can beat her, we're not pushovers! If you're not convinced, come and try me!" Another senior student stood up to defend her.
Feng Jiutian gave a cold laugh, reached up and tucked her long hair behind her ear, her tone indifferent as she said, "I'm not interested. Besides, private duels are not allowed in the academy. Do you want to be punished?"
The moment those words were spoken, the scene quieted down a little, but then became noisy again.
"What's there to be proud of? It's just a temporary trick."
"Exactly! If you're so capable, then come and fight fair and square! It's just a school rule!"
Feng Jiutian raised a delicate eyebrow, glanced at the people who had spoken, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth: "Continue? So many of you are challenging me alone. Is this fair and square? As for whether it's just taking a shortcut, you can ask her whether I took a shortcut or not."
The senior student, who was sitting on the ground and unable to stand up, blushed instantly. Feng Jiutian's words made her admit defeat, and how could she possibly tolerate such a thing!
But the facts were right in front of her, and she was indeed powerless to resist. Absolute strength would suppress all other opinions. Unfortunately, her spiritual power and Feng Jiutian's spiritual power were completely incompatible. If they really fought, it would be a fight to the death, and there was no possibility of the two of them getting along peacefully. The consequence of such a battle was that once injured, it would be very difficult to recover.
The spiritual energy within her body is currently surging wildly and is completely out of control. If she doesn't quickly find a quiet place to retreat and recover, it could very well damage her very foundation.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally stammered, "Yes, you won this time. We all know that fighting is not allowed in the academy. If you have the courage, two months later, the academy will select its senior elites. The winner can represent the school in the Four Nations Tournament. At that time, we can compete against each other on the arena."
The senior student had a good plan. She still couldn't believe that Feng Jiutian would suddenly have such strong strength. She must have used some means they didn't know to temporarily improve it.
In this way, as long as she waits a while, she can still crush Feng Jiutian!
The shame of failure distorted the senior's mentality, as she had never suffered such humiliation in her life.
Feng Jiutian listened quietly to what her senior had to say, her gaze sweeping over everyone present with indifference. She didn't care at all; what she wanted most right now was to improve her cultivation, not to get into arguments with irrelevant people. As for the so-called Four Kingdoms Tournament, she had no interest in it whatsoever.
"If you still want to challenge me, I'm ready anytime. But I have absolutely no interest in any elite selection process. If you insist on bothering me, I don't mind giving you a lesson. I hope you'll think twice before you start."
After saying that, Feng Jiutian flicked her sleeves and left without looking back. Time was the most precious thing now, and she couldn't afford to waste any more.
The female students who remained looked at each other, each with a different emotion in their eyes: shock, resentment, jealousy, and everything in between, but none of them were kind.
