The Legend of Futian

Chapter 6: The Dragon Is Coming

Feng Qingxue's answer met the expectations of her peers. They believed Ye Futian was too bold asking Feng Qingxue to cultivate together, which seemed like poorly disguised flirting. How rude was that?

Even though people knew they had some history together-mostly friendship over the years since they were young-it still meant nothing, especially when it came to boundaries. When Feng Qingxue had said they were both adults, she had apparently been making her point.

"Rejected, huh." People mocked Ye Futian seeing him in this position.

In fact, Ye Futian had been so bold that he had left himself no leeway. Seeing their expressions, Ye Futian soon realized what the others were thinking of him. What a cheap novel show he was creating. He shook his head and left.

I am such a fool for asking her in public. It was my fault, pushing her into a place where she had no choice, Ye Futian sighed.

"Can't you tell that she was obviously making a point when she let Murong Qing stand between you? Come on, man, you've known each other for so long. She told you to keep your distance; what does that mean? Cutting off all ties?" Yu Sheng seemed angered by Feng Qingxue's attitude. He looked like a ferocious lion.

"It's okay. She is only fifteen; she is still young, and easily persuaded by others." Ye Futian did not seem ashamed by what had just happened. In fact, he was still trying to stand up for Feng Qingxue.

"Don't forget what she just said," Yu Sheng said with authority, "She was throwing those words right in your face. Why can't you understand your friendship with her is O-V-E-R. She made her choice." Yu Sheng knew Ye Futian better than anyone else. He looked cynical, but deep inside he was warm and understanding, especially towards people he knew well. He knew that Ye Futian was trying to forgive Feng Qingxue and give her another chance.

However, Yu Sheng was not going to just let it go. He felt that he must protect Ye Futian's pride and self-esteem for him. He knew what Feng Qingxue had just missed out on.

He never forgot what his father had told Ye Futian; people saw things the clearest when they were down in their lives. It was not a big deal, because one day, when you became a king, the world would kneel before you.

...

A noise in the crowd came from the battle arena, drawing the attention of the students. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng looked back and saw several people flying over the arena. They had wings that held them suspended in midair.

"They are seniors from the College of Sorcery; wind-element mages, who can actually condense air to create wings with wind-element spells and fly with them."

The crowd watched in admiration, as they were still in the Awakening Planes, trying their best to break out of their physical constraints and combine their spirits and bodies in perfection. These mages were in the Glory Plane, which meant they were proficient in all kinds of spells.

In the Divine Prefectures, mages outranked ordinary cultivators. Only the wind-element mages were able to fly in the Glory Plane.

"We are here to inform you that a certain area of Mount Tianyao has been cleared," a flying mage said, "In this area, there will only be demons and monsters within the Awakening Plane levels. The following seven days will be the hunting season before the Fall Quarter Examination. You may hunt in this area to test your own gains from the past year, as well as hone your techniques in real combat and imminent danger."

Another flying mage began speaking, "You'll leave this place sooner or later. Without being seriously tested by real situations, you will never become a true cultivator. However, safety must be your priority. We suggest you partner up with other people to look out for each other."
