Chapter 16 A Good Show

"Oh my gosh, a blue magic skill!"

"That's Zhao Qingyun. He is really strong."

Zhao Qingyun felt satisfied with the praises and cast a meaningful look at Li Kong.

"Look, this is the Young Master Zhao's strength. You think you can compete with him?" An ear-piercing laugh came from the hawk-nosed guy.

"Right, right, right. Young Master Zhao's strength is definitely not something that a country bumpkin can compare to." A small man with glasses added with his coarse voice.

"Hey, I think I heard a dog and a duck singing a song just now. Did you hear that?" Li Kong rubbed his ears and pretended to be puzzled.

"Let me listen carefully." Zhou Kai put his hand on his ear and pretended to be searching. "I think you are right."

Their conversation made everyone laugh.

Even Liu Leyang, who had been wearing a cold expression, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"So you can actually smile." Seeing his roommate has finally made an expression, Zhou Kai immediately patted Liu Leyang's shoulder, "Let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Kai. And this is Li Kong and Mo Xing."

"Liu Leyang." He looked at Zhou Kai and replied with a cold voice.

Hearing the words of Li Kong and Zhou Kai, the two guys' faces turned ugly.

"Hmph, fine. Let's see what happens when your name gets called!" The coarse voice quacked angrily like a duck.

"Li Zijian!"

When he heard his name called, the hawk-nosed guy immediately ran up to the instructor with a smile that looked uglier than crying. "Instructor, I'm here. I got the 'Earth Spikes'."

"Yellow magic skill!"

"Tsk, tsk. He talked as if he also got a blue-ranked skill. What a dog!" Zhou Kai said with a look of disdain.

Hearing Zhou Kai's voice, Li Zijian suddenly staggered and almost fell.

This action caused everyone to laugh again.

"Your words are sure powerful." Li Kong looked at Zhou Kai and gave him a thumbs up.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment." Zhou Kai replied in a low voice.

Li Zijian knew that he could not beat Zhou Kai with words so he walked to Zhao Qingyun's with his mouth shut.

Zhao Qingyun did not say anything to step up for his buddies. He knew that if he said one sentence, there would be countless sentences waiting for him. He needed to wait until Li Kong reported his skill and humiliate him then.

Time passed bit by bit.

Everyone was wondering what skill Li Kong actually got. They were also interested in the next collision between Li Kong and Zhao Qingyun. They wanted to know who was stronger.

Zhou Kai, who had just registered, was also curious about what skill Li Kong had obtained. He quietly whispered into Li Kong's ear, "Can you secretly tell me if you got blue or yellow?"

Li Kong had a mysterious expression on his face and kept silent.

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"How?"

"Let's bet on whether or not Li Kong got a blue magic skill. The person to lose will pay for dinner. How does that sound?"

"Sure! I bet not blue. When I came out, I saw him attacking a blue shield. The shield didn't budge a bit."

"I doubt that. I believe he got a blue magic skill." Two people around Li Kong whispered to each other.

Hearing the discussion, Zhou Kai's eyes lit up. He looked over at Zhao Qingyun and said teasingly, "Young Master Zhao, why don't I make a bet with you?"

"What bet?" Zhao Qingyun asked back. If other people said this, he would definitely reply with "Are you worthy?" But it was different this time. He had to agree.

"Simple. Let's bet on whether or not Li Kong obtained a Blue Grade spell. How about it? Do you dare to bet?"

"Haha, what kind of bet is that? Alright, I accept it. I bet he didn't get it." Zhao Qingyun laughed. He knew how strong the blue light curtain was. If not for the gem his father gave him, even he wouldn't be able to break it, let alone this Li Kong who had no one to rely on. "Wha are you betting on?"

"I lost and I'll call you dad in front of everyone in the class. If you lose, you will need to treat my dormmates and me to eat on the second floor of the canteen."

"A deal it is!" Zhao Qingyun was delighted, he was certain to win.

"Hey, you don't have to be like this. Why are you betting yourself in it?" Li Kong rolled his eyes at Zhou Kai.

"Li Kong, you better have done it. Our lunch is counting on you." Zhou Kai looked nervous. He felt a little regretful now. If Li Kong didn't get a blue skill, he would've lost all his face.

"Don't worry, your lunch is ready." Li Kong replied confidently. Seeing the change in Zhou Kai's expression, Li Kong put his finger over his mouth to ask him to keep quiet. Zhou Kai let out a evil smile.

Hearing the two bet, the students around them became more curious and anticipated the result even more.

"Li Kong."

Finally, Li Kong's name was called. The class became silent.

Li Kong slowly walked towards Fan Xiao. The students fixed their gaze on him.

"Flame Burial."

"Hmm?" A strange expression climbed up Fan Xiao's face. He was surprised that Li Kong was able to get this skill. Guess I underestimated this fellow, he thought to himself.

The students had a different feeling, they all thought Zhou Kai had lost. Everyone except Zhou Kai and Li Kong let out a disappointed sigh.

"Hahaha, Zhou Kai, you lost." Seeing Fan Xiao's expression, Zhao Qingyun laughed wantonly.

"Blue magic skill."

Zhao Qingyun's laughter stopped abruptly. His head buzzed loudly as he heard the words.

"Oh, lunch is waiting for me. Surely someone is not going to take back his words right?" Zhou Kai let out a disparaging smile.

Just as Zhou Kai finished speaking, the class broke into chitchat. Countless discussions soon filled the plaza. The words stabbed Zhao Qingyun's heart like sharp knives.

After a long time, Zhao Qingyun questioned with a stiff face, "How is this possible? How could he break through the blue protective shield?"

Disbelief also filled the faces of Li Zijian and the duck-voiced Lu Haowen. "No, that's impossible. Instructor, Li Kong must have cheated!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zijian realized that the students all stared at the two of them like they were looking at a fool.

"This person is retarded."

"Yes, he must be." The timid girl that was called up first said in a low voice to herself as she took a few steps away from Li Zijian.

She wasn't a supporter of Li Kong and simply detested the two's trouble-finding acts. But she didn't dare to say anything loudly because she didn't dare to offend Zhao Qingyun. All she could do was distance herself from them.

"If they cheated, at least it shows that they had the ability to cheat." Fan Xiao shouted in an angry tone, "Jealous of others? Why don't you look at yourselves first? Do you think you are qualified? This is the first time so I will let you go. But don't let me see this happen a second time or else I'll have to ask you to leave this class."

Li Zijian did not dare to retort to Fan Xiao and apologized with his head down, "Sorry."

Fan Xiao waved his hand to the class, "You guys are free to leave now. Take some time to go through your skills today. We will start the magic training lesson tomorrow."

Fan Xiao had just finished speaking.

"Hey hey hey, you! What happened to our bet? Are you trying to run off?" Zhou Kai pointed at Zhao Qingyun who was about to leave and shouted, "The entire class is watching you. Don't tell me you're going back on your words!"`

"Hmph, you think this bit of money means something to me?" Zhao Qingyun snapped back. He did not expect Zhou Kai to chase after him, so he had no choice but to take out a card and threw it to Zhou Kai. "The password is six sixes. There's enough money for the four of you to eat two meals."

"That's Young Master Zhao, very generous. I give you my thanks. Come bet with me again anytime you want!" Zhou Kai caught the card and shouted.

Hearing his words, Zhao Qingyun didn't want to stay for a moment longer and left with his two followers.

Holding the card in his hand, Zhou Kai bragged, "What a wonderful world! Yesterday's dream came true!"

"All thanks to Li Kong." Mo Xing lowered his head and whispered.

"Ha ha ha, yes, all because of Li Kong."

"I'm starving. Let's go enjoy the luxury." Li Kong said with a smile.

"Got it!"

The group of four slowly walked towards the canteen...
