Han Fei hurriedly said, “No, Leader, wait. Let me check it out.”
Han Fei shouted, “Hello? Is anybody here? Any…”
“Shut up! Can’t you see I’m sleeping?”
Han Fei looked around, only to see three hundred meters away, under a big tree, an old man with gray messy hair was lying on a lounge chair and sleeping.
Han Fei twitched the corner of his mouth. Is he the twin brother of Old Jiang?! Han Fei walked over and opened his mouth to speak.
The old man slightly opened his eyes. “Boy, you broke the plaque for our school. You must compensate… Uh, 100 mid-quality pearls.”
Han Fei stumbled. What? This old man charged him 100 mid-quality pearls for a piece of broken wood? Was he trying to rob me?
The old man’s voice suddenly turned cold. “What? You don’t want to pay?”
Han Fei was helpless. “Fine, I’ll pay you, but sir, I am here because I want to study in the school, but where are the teachers and students?”
“Study here?”
The old man finally opened his eyes and looked at Han Fei up and down, asking, “What is your past record?”
“Huh?”
The old man said impatiently, “I’m asking you what achievements you have made?”
Thinking of the village leader’s words, Han Fei hurriedly said, “I’m a low-key person, so I haven’t achieved anything great!”
The old man waved. “Then go! Our school does not recruit low-key people.”
“What?”
The village leader came up to pull Han Fei away. “Han Fei, let’s go. Hurry up. I don’t want to stay here!”
“Leader, calm down…”
Han Fei looked back at the old man. “Low-key, that’s impossible. I’ve done a lot of great things and no one of my age can beat me in the eight villages. Is that enough?”
The old man shouted, “Go away! Our school does not recruit braggarts.”
Han Fei scratched his belly. “Cough, I was only making a joke just now. When I was in the Heavenly Water Village, I wiped out the Heavenly Water Village’s largest gang, the Tigers. I won first place in the Heavenly Water Village’s Fishing Trial. And I also got first place in the Resource Competition this year… Is that enough?”
The old man said again, “Go away! Our school does not recruit braggarts.”
Han Fei was helpless. “I was not bragging! What I said is true. You can ask the students from the eight villages whether I beat them or not! In the final battle, I fought against two people from the Tianxin Village alone! And I don’t even bother to mention it…”
The village leader’s face grew darker and darker. He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he went outside to wait for Han Fei.
However, the old man slightly turned his head. “No one your age can beat you in the eight villages?”
Han Fei patted his belly. “Yes, and I only used one of my combat skills.”
The old man said, “Show me your spiritual beast.”
Han Fei was stunned for a moment. “Sir, may I show you my contractual spiritual beast? Nine Tails, come out.”
With a flash of light, a huge Mantis Shrimp appeared, shaking its seven tails.
“Huh?”
The old man’s face slightly changed, but Han Fei didn’t notice it, because Nine Tails was already punching the ground like crazy. Han Fei rushed up and kicked it. “Behave yourself! Don’t move!”
Han Fei looked back again. “Well, what do you think of it, Sir?”
The old man grunted. “Just so so… Where is your spiritual beast? Let me see it.”
Han Fei struggled for a while. “Well… Okay…”
If he studied here, he would have to show his spiritual beast sooner or later.
So with a flash between his eyebrows, Little Black and Little White appeared. Han Fei believed that this old man would not be able to see Little Black. As for Little White, except for a black spot on his head, his longer tail, and nicer scales, he seemed to be no different from other Spirit Swallowing Fish.
“Spirit Swallowing Fish?”
The old man immediately lost interest and waved his hand. “The students enrolled in our school all have exotic spiritual beasts.”
Han Fei shot back, “But my contractual spiritual beast is exotic.”
“After all, it’s not just about your spiritual beast… How about this? If you can do something big in the Blue Sea Town, we will consider admitting you.”
Han Fei wondered what the old man’s identity was! After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the school and took a deep breath. “…Do your words count? Can I see the students and teachers at the school?”
The old man said impatiently, “I don’t know. Are you going to do it or not? If not, just get out!”
Han Fei was very angry! This old man was simply outrageous! He almost wanted to summon Nine Tails to teach him a lesson.
Han Fei grunted. “Okay! Then it’s a deal! I’m going to do something big! Wait for my good news!”
Han Fei turned around and strode away.
The village leader quickly said, “Do you believe me now? Such a lousy school! God knows why the town hasn’t removed it.”
Han Fei frowned and wondered, Right! If this school was really as bad as it looked, why hadn’t the Blue Sea Town gotten rid of it? After all, this floating island was very big! Even bigger than the Heavenly Water Village.
Han Fei rolled his eyes. “Grandpa Leader, would you like to go back to the village first? I have some other things to tend to. If the school doesn’t accept me, I’ll go back by myself.”
The village leader narrowed his eyes. “What things are you going to tend to? You don’t know anyone in the Blue Sea Town!”
“Leader, do you forget He Xiaoyu and the others? They are right in the town!”
Then he handed Old Jiang’s letter to the village leader. “I have to deliver a letter for Old Jiang.”
The village leader doubted him. “Where?”
Han Fei grinned. “The Third Academy!”
The village leader smiled and stroked his long beard. “I’m glad you’ve changed your mind. The fourth academy is not a good choice. It’s said that the strongest master is from the third academy. It is not bad to go there.”
The village leader took it for granted that Old Jiang wrote this letter to recommend Han Fei to the Third Academy, which he certainly supported.
The head of the village was relieved. “OK, you can go back by yourself. I’ll go back first.”
“OK.”
Han Fei saw the village leader to the port. Then he ran towards the Third Academy after asking people about its location.
…
The Third Academy was called the Waterfall Academy.
Han Fei stood at the gate of the academy and said to the guard, “I’m here to see someone at this school.”
The guard looked at Han Fei, who was as fat as a ball, and said in dislike, “Humph! No one is allowed in except students of the school. Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Ye Nanfei, a teacher in the Fighting Department of your school.”
The guard looked at Han Fei up and down. “Who are you?! You can just go to Mr. Ye’s home.”
“I don’t know where his home is!”
The guard laughed. “You don’t even know where his home is? Why do you want to see him?”
“I want to challenge him.”
“Pu…”
The guard almost slipped to the ground and immediately yelled at Han Fei. “Are you crazy? F*ck off! You must be out of your mind…”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei was pushed out and attracted many people’s attention.
Han Fei grunted and turned away. Ten minutes later, Han Fei returned, holding a Purple Bamboo Rod, carrying the Black Iron Rod on his back, and having two knives at his waist. He also had a wooden sign beside him, reading, “The people in the Third Academy are all cowards. I, Han Fei, want to challenge Ye Nanfei of the Fighting Department.”
“Hiss…”
The guard who pushed him out just now hurriedly rushed out, pointed at Han Fei and yelled, “You damn brat, are you looking for death? What are you doing here?”
Han Fei blinked. “But you won’t let me in! I am here to challenge Ye Nanfei.”
The guard immediately scolded him. “Now leave! Is this where you can stay?”
Han Fei said with a smile, “Am I occupying your land? Isn’t this part of the Third Academy? Why do you stop me? Just call Ye Nanfei out.”
But at this time, a large number of students had gathered around, and when they saw the words written on the sign, they were immediately pissed off. Was this guy provoking them?!
“Fatty, how dare you! Which school are you from?”
Han Fei remained calm. “I’m not in any school. I came from the Heavenly Water Village.”
The students froze and then burst into laughter.
“Haha… Look at this silly bumpkin from the countryside.”
“Who the f*ck do you think you are?”
“Fatty, are you out of your mind?”
“Ye Nanfei… How dare you challenge a teacher of our Fighting Department? You crazy idiot!”
Han Fei suddenly shouted loudly, “The people in the Third Academy are all cowards! Come on, fight me!”
