CHAPTER 1504 SETTLED IN THE SCHOOL
âI thought you said you had nothing to do with the Di Clan?â Rocky teased, shaking his head.
âWell, just because I have no direct relation to them doesnât mean we canât enter the school pretending to be one of them, right?â Eunice retorted as she rolled her eyes at Rocky.
Seeing her huffy face, Rocky immediately wore a âyou winâ look, then sighed and smiled.
âBefore you register, let me show you around the school first,â Eunice amiably offered. Her invitation gave Rocky the impression that she knew the place well.
âOh? Isnât this your first time here?â Rocky found it odd that she would offer to give him a tour to an unfamiliar place.
âOf course not,â Eunice replied casually and started walking forward.
As Rocky looked at her back, he shook his head and muttered something under his breath. âWhat a mysterious woman! I wonder who she really is.â
Intrigued, he willingly caught up to Eunice and followed her.
While Rocky was thinking about what secrets she must be keeping, Eunice showed him around the Sky-suppressing School.
"The Sky-suppressing Mansion is led by a military family, so their management naturally adopts military-style practices. Every warrior who chooses to enter the school is subject to very strict control.
Despite the stringent supervision, the school still attracts a lot of spirit warriors to go there, mainly because it will produce at least three spirit warriors with Imperial Souls, around thirty spirit warriors with Spiritual Infants at the middle stage, and hundreds of young talents every year,"
Eunice introduced in detail. âItâs actually not a big deal. What Iâm about to tell you, though, is the most terrifying part about this mansion.â As she spoke, she had an exaggerated expression on her face.
âWhy? Whatâs so impressive about it?â Rocky returned her enthusiasm with excitement.
When Eunice perceived that Rocky was eager to find out, she leaned a little closer to him and talked in hushed whispers. âLast year, the school trained the most famous female genius in the Ethereal Region. She's only eighteen years old now, but has the strength that is close to that of the warriors with Imperial Soul. Sheâs the daughter of the current chief of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. Everyone knew her as the destined phoenix girl. Word has it, they even recognize her as the most beautiful woman in the entire Ethereal Region.â
âReally? Now Iâm getting more interested in this,â Rocky replied with a visible grin on his face.
"Tch. Pervert!" Eunice immediately retorted disdainfully.
âWhat? Iâm not interested in her. Iâm curious about her strength. You said it yourself. Sheâs just eighteen years old. Itâs almost impossible for her to reach a level that is close to the Imperial Soul given her young age. Unless thereâs a unique trick or somethingâ¦â Rocky said as if he was deep in thought.
âThere have been many rumors circulating around the Ethereal Region, but Iâm afraid that only the people from the Sky-suppressing Mansion know the truth behind it. Besides, we donât have time for that. We will enter the school because we have to carry out a certain task. Since weâre here using the name of the Di Clan, theoretically, no one should dare make trouble for us. However, just in case, we should still keep a low profile and avoid confronting anyone as much as possible, especially those from the Sky-suppressing Mansion,â Eunice warned sternly.
âBut what if they deliberately provoked me?â Rocky asked indifferently.
âWhy would someone provoke you? If you keep yourself out of trouble, no one will intentionally offend you!â Upon saying that, Eunice took a good look at Rocky. Although she knew that he was by no means an ordinary person, if one would just inspect his appearance, there would be nothing special about him. Moreover, his spiritual aura was also weak. Eunice couldn't even figure out how he had cultivated to his current level.
âI donât know. After all, Iâm so charming. Even if I donât do anything, some people get envious of me,â Rocky retorted in a conceited tone.
âYou narcissistic bastard! Stop dreaming!â Eunice snapped back.
Hearing her serious reaction, Rocky couldnât help but burst into laughter.
Due to his loud laugher, many people around them looked over in their direction. Then, soon enough, a very mature and burly man suddenly approached them.
âEunice? What are you doing here?â The man seemed to know Eunice and was a bit surprised to see her here.
âHayden?â As she looked over to the man who approached them, Eunice didnât expect to see someone she knew.
âI didnât expect that of all places, this is where I will find you. Iâve been to the Di Clan several times before, but I never saw you there. It was just recently that I heard that you already left that place. I thought you had a good time there. What made you decide to leave?" Apparently, Hayden Xiahou was someone who knew quite a lot about Eunice.
âOh, shut up!â Eunice suddenly shouted to make Hayden stop talking. Since Rocky was there, and it seemed that Eunice didnât want him to learn her true identity yet, she had no choice but to cut Hayden Xiahou abruptly.
At the same time, Hayden Xiahou was taken aback and saw that Eunice was a bit tense. Then, the moment he noticed Rocky behind her, his expression changed. âAnd who is this guy? Your follower? Well, it would only make sense since his spiritual aura is so weak!â Hayden Xiahou remarked disdainfully.
âHe isââ Eunice was about to explain but she was suddenly interrupted by Rocky.
âYes, thatâs right. Iâm Miss Euniceâs follower. Nice to meet you, sir.â Rocky took a step forward and cupped his hands. Then, he turned to Eunice and said, âI think itâs already time for us to sign up. Weâd better hurry or we may miss it.â After saying that, Rocky suddenly held Eunice by her hand and pulled her away like that in front of everyone.
Seeing this bold action of Rocky, Hayden Xiahou was a little stunned. He was baffled that someone who claimed to be Euniceâs follower would have the guts to take her by the hand and drag her around like that. âHow dare that imbecile?! Just wait and see. If you dare hurt my woman, Iâll crush your head with my bare hands!â Hayden Xiahou murmured to himself, obviously infuriated at Rocky.
After walking a bit far away with Eunice, Rocky eventually let go of her hand when he saw that Hayden Xiahou wasnât around anymore.
Surprisingly, that was the only time that Eunice regained her senses. As she finally processed what had just happened, her delicate face instantly turned red. âWhy the hell did you hold my hand? Thatâs so rude of you!â
âWhat? I was just helping you out. I saw that you didnât want to talk to that guy, so I made a way to get us out of there. You should be thanking me instead,â Rocky replied haughtily.
âHumph! Thatâs none of your business," Eunice snorted coldly as she rolled her eyes.
âFine. I wonât do it again next time,â Rocky said in a sulking tone as he crossed his arms over his chest.Material © of .
âHey! Youâre the one who said that youâre my follower. So, you need to listen to me.â Eunice put her hands on her waist and acted like a boss.
âAll right, boss. What else can I do for you?â Rocky suddenly shifted his tone and let out a flattering smile.
Hearing that, Eunice couldnât put up a straight face. She burst into laughter upon seeing how good Rocky was in acting.
After a while, they went together to the general office to register and get their corresponding student number.
The teaching period of the school ranged from one to five years, and the duration would solely depend on the strength of the spirit warriors. The stronger a warrior was upon entering the school, the shorter the teaching period would be. Consequently, he could also graduate earlier. Once a spirit warrior graduated from the Sky-suppressing School, it was almost certain that he could obtain a bright future. In fact, no matter how long one stayed inside the school, the things that he learned here would be much more than what they could acquire from an ordinary sect or clan.
During the registration, both Rocky and Eunice signed up as warriors with Spiritual Infants at the primary stage, so their teaching period was set to three years. Once they passed the graduation examination of the school after the allotted number of years, they could formally graduate and even get a graduation award. These rewards consisted of all kinds of treasures that countless warriors were yearning for. Furthermore, those who were able to successfully graduate could grab an opportunity to break through to the Imperial Soul.
However, although the teaching period was set to a specific number of years, if the warriorâs talent was brilliant enough, he could opt to take the graduation examination in advance. But once he failed in it, he
would automatically be expelled from the school. Therefore, if one was not absolutely sure that he could pass the exam, he would never choose to take it in advance.
In the entire history of the school, records were showing that some had indeed graduated in advance, but there were really just a few of them.
After the registration, Rocky and Eunice were given a slot in a small disciple dormitory. There were two rooms, one for each of them.
âIâm warning you! If you have nothing important to do, donât wander outside my door, or you will die a miserable death.â Before entering her room, Eunice immediately gave a strict warning to Rocky.
âDonât worry. If I want to do something to you, Iâll make sure that youâll give me your consent,â Rocky said with a mischievous smile.
âWhy would I ever give my consent?! Do you want me to break your legs?!â Eunice said angrily as she entered her room and slammed the door.
Rocky just shook his head and smiled bitterly. Soon enough, he also entered his room and went straight to his Magic Spiritual Space.
Since he had been with Eunice for the past two days, he didnât have any time to check the situation there. As soon as he entered his laboratory, he saw a little fellow flopping in the box that he used to nurture the cub. It was vigorously moving as if it wanted to get out.
âCan you move by yourself now?â Rocky was overjoyed as he saw the energetic little beast. He took it out of the box and recognized that it looked very similar to Uriah when it was still young. Meanwhile, it inherited its eyes and prominent horns from Ken.
