The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 157: The Competition Starts

Early morning of the next day, a gentle breeze blew.

All of the students as well as teachers were gathered at the middle of the academy, uniformly dressed in black robe over white gowns, indescribably magnificent to look at.

At this moment, the judges were gathered at their seats. Tusu Feng smiled as he looked at those young faces below, when his refined eyes fell on Helian Wei Wei and company they shined with a deep meaning that only he understood.

Sitting by his side was none other than the one who’s always been absent from White Academy, Master Tu Lao. He smiled slightly as he stroked the white beard on his chin and laughed. “Hehe. Really brings back memories. When I was young, it’s during the interacademy competition that I found out that compared to martial qi, I’m more of a match for armaments. Looking at them now is like looking at me when I was younger. Time really spares no one.”

“That’s true. I still remember that at that time, you’re also at the Superior Compound competing together with Zi Zun. I and Yun Xiu, however, were miserably oppressed by the two of you.” The Superior Compound’s Master Bai shook his head as he spoke. “At that time, you guys are much more aggressive than now and even said that even if you grew old, our disciples still won’t win your disciples. You’re doing well to have Murong Chang Feng as your disciple. That cold tempered Zi Zun, picky and choosy, yet ended up with a low leveled martial artist who hasn’t even touched armaments before. I really don’t know what he’s thinking.”

Tu Lao smiled and didn’t respond to this subject at all, only saying. “We were young then. Forget about it. Let’s look at these children now. Who knows, maybe we’ll come across a good successor.”

“We have several at the Superior Compound.” Master Bai laughed faintly. “Their strength are not bad. Tu Lao, why don’t you consider it.”

Tu Lao responded again. “Oh. I actually hope that I can see the other compound’s strength. It’s best when an unexpected talent appears.” In this way, the competition at the school would be even more interesting.

“The other compounds?” Master Bai looked up, couldn’t care less as he took a sip, his appearance expressing that characteristic haughtiness. “Besides that young master from the Hei family, what other talent can there be? Students from the Good and Fine Compounds have all been investigated by me. As for the Inferior Compound, my goodness, even if I don’t say it, Tu Lao, you also should’ve known what’s going on there. Coming up with a talent there is more difficult than ascending to heaven.”

Tu Lao put down the teacup in his hand as he smiled. “After hearing Master Bai saying that, Principal don’t want to say something on behalf of the students from your own compound?”

“Huh?” Tusu Feng was in the middle of watching those few people yawning again, feeling somewhat helpless about their ‘don’t give a damn’ attitudes. Now that he heard these two people’s conversation pulling him in, he gently curved his lips. “It’s not necessary to say anything. Let’s look at the results when the moment comes.”

“Sounds like the principal feels that those people from your compound are very promising.” Master Bai burst into loud laughter, his mockery was self-evident. “Principal, I know that you treat all of the students equally favorably, and this is also the first time you personally act as the head of a compound, so you want to achieve some accomplishments. However, no matter how you carve rotten wood, it still won’t be as exquisite as green jade.”

Tusu Feng retracted his gaze from Helian Wei Wei and company and smiled, can’t help but comment. “That may not necessarily be true. The competition hasn’t started. Everything is uncounted. The outcome maybe something Master Bai doesn’t expect. Therefore, let’s properly watch the competition.”
