Chapter 26: Protection Fee

Chapter 26: Protection Fee

The sun was out as Jian Chen walked across the sports field, where quite a few students were already exercising. Sparing a glance at those students, Jian Chen proceeded to move on towards the library. During the past 3 days, Jian Chen was constantly cultivating his Saint Force and did not have the time to go to the library at all. In Jian Chen’s eyes, the only thing the academy had to offer that really attracted him was the library. When it came to the classes taught by the teachers, Jian Chen didn’t have a single speck of interest, and he personally felt that it was a waste of time. The teachers didn’t have anything worthwhile to teach him, but the library did. After all, the library had records of everything that had happened on the Tian Yuan continent.

“Hey look, isn’t that Changyang Xiang Tian? I heard he beat the Saint, Ka Di Yun, while he was only at the 8th Saint Force layer…”

“It is, it is! I even watched Changyang Xiang Tian fight in the freshmen competition, but I didn’t get a chance to see him fight against Ka Di Yun, what a great shame…”

On the sports field, two males who saw Jian Chen were pointing from afar, while looking at him with a huge amount of respect.

“Wow, Changyang Xiang Tian is so cool and so strong. For him to beat the Saint, Ka Di Yun, while at the 8th Saint Force layer; he really is my idol…” Another first year minor noble girl cried, as her eyes sparkled with emotions.

More and more people started to gather on the field. As Jian Chen walked across the sports field, many of the surrounding people started to notice him. Ever since he had beaten Ka Di Yun three days ago, his name had spread around the academy in a mere few hours, and his reputation had skyrocketed to the point where even the teachers of Kargath Academy knew him by name.

Jian Chen quickly crossed the field into a shady area which would lead him to the library. Because there weren’t many people at the library, the path towards the library was fairly serene and quiet. With almost no people in sight, all Jian Chen could see was the scenery of nature, as the wind scattered countless leaves into the air with a rustling sound.

Just then, the shadows of a few people suddenly appeared in front of Jian Chen. It was a group of four people who were laughing and talking amongst themselves, each one of them looking to be around ** years old. A simple look at their school uniforms could identify them as students of the academy as well.

Jian Chen didn’t pay any attention to the group of students in front of him, and proceeded to walk past them. But as he just crossed them, the four students suddenly stopped talking, and then quickly surrounded Jian Chen.

Stopping, Jian Chen looked at the students surrounding him and noted that they were all seniors. With a cold smile, he asked, “Dear seniors, what is the meaning of this?”

The four students stood tall and proud as they circled Jian Chen before one of them spoke up.

“Kid, you look unfamiliar, you must be a freshmen.” The one in front of Jian Chen smiled with an unfriendly stare at him.

Jian Chen did not show any emotion as he stared at the speaker, speaking to his face, he gave a faint smile, “That’s right, this one here is a freshman. What do these seniors want with a freshman like me?”

Hearing this, the senior chuckled, “If you want to live peacefully at Kargath Academy, then it’s important that you have people like us protecting you. But if you want our protection, then you need to pay us. Since you’re a freshman, then you just need to pay us 10 Purple coins; how about it, a good deal right?” The student had a confident smile on his face; in his mind, he had already intimidated Jian Chen. To him, Jian Chen was smaller, and therefore weaker in terms of strength, and he felt that he had definitely overpowered him already. He was confident in his skills as well, since he had already pulled this off many different times, making him an experienced veteran. If he had met a stronger student, then of course he would have thought twice before pulling this scam off, but Jian Chen didn’t seem like a strong student, so this would definitely be a total success; resistance would be futile.
