《The Journey of The Three Immortals》Chapter 17 - A crushing defeat
Advertisement
"Brother Zhou Wei..."
Huo yi called out in a hush tone, a bit worried if he could manage fighting against the other person. Zhou Wei xing looked at him with confident eyes, telling him not to worry.
"Brother Huo yi, are you thinking that I'm not able to win against him? Who do you think I am, I am Zhou Wei xing! Peh! This guy isn't even worth my spit. If I lose to him I won't be called Zhou Wei xing anymore."
He told Huo yi with such arrogance that not even he could refute. Feeling assured, Huo yi nodded and gave him a wry smile.
Zhou Wei xing walked over calmly towards the stage, signalling the students to take the spectator seats and to prepare for the fight.
Huo yi moved towards the seat closest to the stage so that he could observe the fight better, finding out that most of his classmates sat far away from him to the left side. A bit lonely and unsure of what's going on, a shadow loomed over him. He flinched and let out a small shriek at the sudden appearance of Lu song.
"Eek!...Oh,Brother Lu song... You scared me."
Huo yi let out a breath of relief as Lu song chuckled at his cute reaction. He sat on the hard and sturdy seat next to Huo yi.
"Hahaha, sorry about that. I was supposed to sit with my other classmates, but I refused since I really don't like their attitude. A lot of them are nobles and they look down on commoners. Geez, I hate people like them.... By the way, it seems your classmates aren't sitting close to you at all, they're even sitting on the spot where it's more difficult to see the match. What happened?"
Lu song complained as he glanced around. There was no one else but Huo yi and the seniors in the center columns. Huo yi returned an small smile, he felt more better when Lu song joined him. It would be so awkward if he was the only one in the center.
"I don't know... "
Huo yi answered to his question. It makes more sense that they would sit far away from the fire class. Before Huo yi could continue his sentence, Mei rong came over with a bunch of other classmates. They had unhappy looks on their faces.
"Brother Lu song, why aren't you sitting with the rest of the class? Come come, it's more lively when you are with us."
Mei rong pulled at Lu song's arm, completely ignoring Huo yi's existence. The people behind her looked in disdain, one girl spoke up in a disgusted voice.

"Mei rong, let's leave him be, if a commoner wants to hang around other commoners from that weak class then so be it."
"Yeah, he obviously doesn't want to sit with us. He preferred to go with this weakling than us."
The group behind started complaining, not liking the idea of Mei rong dragging around a commoner with them. They tried to convince Mei rong to leave him as they started to turn back to where their seats were located at.
The girl put on a pouty face, her hand still on his arm.
"I'm not giving up on brother Lu song, hey, Hurry up and let's go sit there before they get mad!"
She started to pull harder, making Lu song more annoyed. This Mei rong girl... Up until now from last week, she has always been pestering him every second of the day, trying to cling onto his arm or getting him to play with her. Every time he refused she would start tearing up or cry. It seems that she was from an influential family, thus refusal was not an option. And if he agreed to her demands, well... Every time he came back he had cramps all over his body, making him dead tired.
He had gotten really sick of her and tries to avoid her whenever an opportunity comes, sadly, it wasn't the opportunity but the bothersome girl that had came every time. But he must retain a gentleman's dignity.
"Sorry Mei rong, I don't want to stay in a group, and I promised to sit with Huo yi today to watch the match."
Lu song put on a pitiful and a face that said, 'if you understand, please go away.' He really thought that she perceived the intended meaning of his words. Unfortunately, denseness is a horrible trait to have.
"It's okay, I'll just sit here with you. The others can just join us if they want to."
Mei rong smiled, seemingly just noticed that Huo yi was here. She quickly sat down before Lu song could object and implanted firmly and closely next to him.
At this moment, Huo yi, Lu song and the bunch of fire mages were stunned and rendered speechless.
"Mei rong! Don't sit with them, come with us now!"
The girl who spoke with disgust before hissed. The others were already going furious, somehow they weren't letting Mei rong go easily.
Huo yi had the expression of wanting to cry. First he was not even noticed, then he was treated as a weak person, and finally there was going to be a fight here? Oi oi, the fight is on the stage, not here! He kept his mouth shut regardless, not wanting to create more conflict.

"Su mei, I'm already settled on this matter. I. Am. Not. Moving!"
Mei rong tightened her hands around Lu song's arm, unyielding to let go like a vice grip. She didn't notice the pain in Lu song's eyes as he tried to get her off him.
The girl called Su mei, blushed with embarrassment and anger. Being a spoilt child, she had never witness someone refuse her. You want to stay here? Fine, I'll sit here too! Before she could place herself next to her friend, a cold male voice chilled towards the commotion behind.
"Get lost, the clump of you are blocking the view."
Apparently, it came from the senior next to Ye han, half his face blocked by a feathery fan. His eyes narrowed at the fire mages and at Su mei, sending chills down their spines. When he spoke, he had released some of his spirit aura towards the group, just enough to intimidate them.
Since they were juniors, the whole group immediately backed off in fear, they didn't want to sit near Huo yi along with the seniors anymore. They rushed back to the cluster of fire mages, including Su mei who just followed the bunch as she as fast as she could.
Both Huo yi and Lu song did not feel the pressure since they were not the ones causing a commotion, but the level of denseness in Mei rong actually repelled against the sinister aura. The senior stationed next to Ye han frowned, but softened his face since the distraction was gone.
Too bad for Lu song, his arm had an octopus stuck to it.
Back to Zhou Wei xing, he was about a distance away from the arrogant boy, standing proudly and sizing each other up with criticizing eyes. In the center where the teachers could observe the match carefully, they stood outside the line which marked the stage.
"The match will begin once both combatants are ready, give us the signal once you're done."
The air Ki teacher announced loudly for the spectators and the two students to hear.
"Lowly dog, you aren't suitable to be my opponent. You should just forfeit while you can."
The Fire mage boy smirked with fierce eyes. At first, he was disappointed that his first opponent was not a commoner so that he could beat them up, but who would have known that the famous Zhou Wei xing from the Zhou household would be fighting against him? If he won, his image would increase like mad.
"That's correct, because the only opponent which you can fight with honor is trash. You should have went last where the residue are capable of being a trash's rival."
"You-...!"
Didn't expect this Zhou Wei xing to have a tongue of a snake. The bastard had an arrogant smug face plastered on his face, he even gives the 'What are you going to do huh?' impression. Long zhaoyi started to heat up in anger.
"My name is not 'you', It is Zhou Wei xing of the Zhou family! Now hurry up and start the match, teachers!"
Zhou Wei xing was growing impatient, it was already so long and yet the first match hasn't began? He wants to hurry up and sit down as his feet were getting sore.
"Alright, Zhou Wei xing against Long zhaoyi, Begin!"
The Fire lecturer shook his hand, signalling the start of the match, both sides took out their wands and started mumbling their spells.
"Air barrier."
"Flame sphere!"
Zhou Wei xing conjured a defense skill, while Long zhaoyi went all out offensive. The fireball blasted towards the shield but was unable to penetrate through the thick density of the barrier.
"Damn it!"
Long Zhaoyi clicked his tongue, quickly dashing to the side as Zhou Wei xing started to aim gusts of wind that could slice him up if he was not careful. He tried to cast out the spells to counterattack, but failed as Zhou Wei xing managed to block off his chances of attacking in the slightest. Seeing the quick and powerful attacks by Zhou Wei xing, some of the audience couldn't help but let out a 'woow..' in amazement.
If Long zhaoyi went to the right, Zhou Wei xing would let out a barrage of air bullets.
The left, he would begin placing air bombs if he weren't careful.
Try to attack, get interrupted or unable to hurt him because of his wind shield.
For the next 5 minutes, the whole match was just Long zhaoyi being chased like a mouse by Zhou Wei xing who was attacking non-stop. The attacker did not even look exhausted, while Long zhaoyi was already panting heavily.
The faces of the fire class students started to turn ugly and began cursing Long zhaoyi for losing face for the fire class, while the air class students were getting excited and more motivated to join in the match.
"Beat that prick up and show him whose his daddy! Die you fucking vermin!"
Eva leaned over the stone block and shouted out madly. Even if Zhou Wei xing could not hear, he could still feel the heat of the curses, making him go more wildly with his attacks.
Eventually, Long zhaoyi forfeited with a crushing defeat, resulting in Zhou Wei xing's win.
