Huo ling looked at the results with satisfaction and then left quietly. He was not in the mood to challenge anyone today.

The three disciples looked him leaving:

"How arrogant , he definitely hit a fluke but is showing such aloof behaviour. I have seen many people like him dying for fame" the male disciple sneered as he was jealous.

Li Qing gave him a dissatisfied look and said " why don't you go and beat his record then. You should not talk nonsense without proof" she was getting annoyed by his behaviour now.

He shut up and they too left.

At the disciple's meet :

A youth came running " Young master Chen their is a huge news " he said while approaching him.

Chen Chang looked at him and said " Keep some composure don't you see there are so many guests here " he was trying to look a gentleman.

" I am sorry young master , I was wrong " the young man apologized .

" What is the news " Chen Chang curiously asked. This youth was his underlying and was given a task to complete , so naturally he was interested in the news .

"Young master , today a new disciple named Huo Ling made it , to the eleventh rank.... " He was going to continue but was cut short by the crowd .

"What someone made it to the eleventh rank!"

" Who is this Huo ling I have never heard of him ? "

.........

There was an uproar among the crowd afterall getting the eleventh rank so suddenly and silently sounded a little mysterious to them.

Chen Chang frowned " What is the huge news , he didn't even made it to top ten why were you so worked up ? " He asked the underling slowly.

" Young master, after some investigation I found that , this Huo Ling is the person you were looking for " he said in a hurry as he didn't wanted to piss this young master of his .

Chen Chang smiled " So finally the mouse is out , let me see what tricks you play now "

He was extremely angry at Huo ling , due to him his excellent plan was ruined , his guards were killed and worst of all Luo Bao's mother was furious after hearing the news and she declared a war with them.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

After it their family was taking loss in the capital and he had to hear the lectures of the family members. His expenses were also cut short.

After remembering this his face became dark and an angry expression emerged.

" I will definitely not let you die easily" he sneered.

" Go check out our friends in top 10 spots and tell them to break a limb or two of this bastard if they encounter him in the arena. I will see the academy rules and also will reward the person handsomely" Chen Chang said the the youth .

The youth listened and hurriedly went out on his task.

.............

At disciples courtyard:

" This refinement is such an amazing process to actually upgrade the rank of celestial worms" Huo ling was reading the books he bought on refinement.

" I have some understanding, now I should start with rank 1 celestial worm refinement recipes" he thought.

Days passed on and Huo Ling followed his routine of cultivation , reading at library and refinement theory gainings.

Soon another two months passed, Huo ling didn't challenge any person after getting his 11th rank.

And there were many rumours going on about him being a coward and feared to challenge anyone.

There were also some about him cheating to get his rank . Of course these were all the work of Chen Chang.

" I should be fully aware of rank 1 celestial worm refinement processes now . I also have read through some rank 1 refinement recipes" he was quite happy about his quick progress.

It had to be known that other people needed atleast six or more months to get to this point. He could not help but think that , all risks taken to obtain the Cear Clear worm were worh the results.

" It seems my cultivation talent is also showing its true colours with time now" he smiled bitterly.

10 months had passed after he had entered the academy and he was very dedicated to his cultivation and also had proper essence stones but still he was pushed further and about 8 or 9 disciples were ahead of him in cultivation.

" I heard that both the excellent grade disciples had even reached stage two" Huo ling felt a chill down his spine thinking about it .

They just took such little time to cross the barrier. He atleast needed two months more to reach second stage according to his pace.

" Excellent grade talent is too terrifying,"

" I should stop thinking about them and start to do missions now , I need to collect more Essence stones for refinement " he said to himself and went towards the mission hall.

He took all the missions he could do in solo and got to approve them.

The instructor saw the stack of mission pamplet and asked " Do you think it is any joke going on here ? If you are not able to complete these missions on time you will have to pay punishment fees "

Huo ling already knew it and hence he only shamelessly stood there looking at the instructor.

The instructor was annoyed and approved them all.

" Little brat , let you bleed some merits , then you will understand to respect yours elders he sneered inwardly"

Huo ling collected the mission posters and left . He was serious and needed some urgent money so ofcourse he would make full use of them .

" Lets start our second adventure , it has been quite some time I fought. My cultivation was also faster when I was constantly battling and cultivating in the northern forest "

He was very expectant of this trip . He wanted to collect some materials needed for refinement along with the missions. Soon he left the gate .

" Young master , that brat has finally left the academy for taking a mission " a youth came to inform Chen Chang.

" Finnally he has the guts to step outside. Go tell two stage two masters from the family to form a team with some other masters and bring this bastard to the family dungeon " Chen Chang said with an evil expression.

" Lets see how you beg me after I torture you " Chen Chang sneered . He was sending two stage 2 masters and other stage one masters to make sure this cunning bastard had no chance getting away .
