The Invincible constitution : Rise of the Supreme One

Chapter 26: Soul Universe

With a tap of his toe, wind surrounded Eli Shan as he leaped through the air, landing beside Feng Qiang as gently as a falling leaf. As the settling dust revealed their presence. Eli Shan gently held Feng Qiang's arm, his gaze piercing through the onlookers with an air of indifference. "If anyone dares to even think about harming my friend, then, no matter who you are, your fate will be same as Mu Cheng."

Under the weight of Eli Shan's gaze, no one dared to spout a single word.

Turning his face a bit, Eli Shan looked at Feng Qiang and smiled gently. "Let's go."

Feng Qiang nodded with a warm smile and followed Eli Shan's lead. As they walked, the onlookers instinctively made a way for them, their eyes filled with a mixture of respect and fear.

Feng Qiang followed behind Eli Shan, her gaze fixated on him. "Thank you so much, Eli, really thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Eli Shan shook his head and grinned. "Why are you thanking me? You are my one and only friend, and it's my duty to either beat your enemy or get beaten by him together with you," He laughed.

Feng Qiang joined in the laughter, nodding in agreement. "That's how a friend should be."

As they continued on their way, Eli Shan thought to take benefit of free time to clear up his confusion. He looked at Feng Qiang in bewilderment and asked, "I've been thinking about this for some time now: Who was this Mu Cheng?"

Listening to him, Feng Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "Mu Cheng would die again if he came to know that, the person who killed him didn't even know his identity."

Eli Shan nonchalantly shrugged, "It was him who came to provoke me."

Feng Qiang nodded, a smile hanging on her face. "He was our senior, and not just any senior – he was the first-ranked candidate of his batch."

Eli Shan nodded in understanding and asked further, "And what exactly is this 'student king' title?"

Feng Qiang's smile remained warm as she clarified, "The student king is precisely as it sounds. This is a title given to the strongest student in the school. Currently, this title belongs to Mu Cheng's older brother, from the batch earlier than his. And I have heard that he is already in the middle stage of the Tian realm and this is his last year in this school. After graduation, he has the privilege to become the teacher of the inner region's new student."

Eli Shan nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, Feng Qiang stopped, her expression turning serious as she asked Eli Shan, "What if he comes for his brother's revenge?" 

Hearing her, Eli Shan joked, "If he will come, then both of us will be beaten together, as simple as that!"

Feng Qiang shook her head seriously, "If worst comes to worst, even if I will have to reveal my background, I will do it. But I won't let anything happen to you."

Eli Shan looked at her in surprise. "Do you really think your background is more influential than the city lord's? Even Hao Yu, his own son, doesn't have much influence in this school. What could you possibly do? Don't worry, if I can't win then, we'll make a run for it together. But for now, let's put all these worries aside. Tomorrow is my fifteenth birthday, so let's buy some better clothes."

Feng Qiang's eyes widened as she looked at him in shock. " Tomorrow is your birthday?"

Eli Shan nodded proudly.

Feng Qiang rose onto her toes, gripping Eli Shan's collar tightly, her voice seething with anger. "And you're telling me this now? Why didn't you say something sooner? Come on, let's go find something to celebrate your birthday."
