8 Chaptre 8 : Old man, it's not right to intimidate the younger ones
The city of Imperial Azure is a vast city of more than 89.7 km² with walls 120 m high and 20 m wide, it is the largest city of the Long Empire and its capital.
The gates of the city were wide, high, thick and solid, in front of the gates there were a crowd of people waiting their turn to enter the city, guards wearing their shining armor and a sword collecting the entrance fees.
In the crowd was Dio who, after spending 17 hours on the road, Cutting into the queue as if nothing had happened.
"Hey kid, how dare you pass in front of your elders do you not know what is respect" grumblesed a middle-aged man
"A poor mortal who doesn't know his limits" laughed a young girl in the crowd
"Deadly how dare you cut the way in front of your father" said someone in the crowd
"What are his strange clothes ? Are you so poor that you can't buy yourself a decent piece of clothing," said a young man with disdain
This was followed by insults from both sides of the crowd
Dio turned a deaf ear and continued on his way, this obviously caught the attention of the guards.
"Hey you, stop, you have cut into the queue, It's a violation of the rules, you will be held for a week in the dungeons and will pay a fine of 3 gold pieces," said three guards surrounding Dio and pointed their blades at him.
But something incredible happened before the amazed eyes of the crowd, the mortal who was strangely dressed and about to be arrested disappeared in front of everyone
The crowd, the guards and the people who had insulted Dio were amazed for a good 10 seconds
"An... An... An expert, I offended an expert," whispered the middle-aged man who had spoken first just now.
Those who had previously insulted Dio all unconsciously swallowed a sip of saliva and thanked heaven for the fact that this expert did not take them into consideration.
And even the soldiers who tried to stop him had legs so soft that they almost knelt down to thank their lucky star for not forgetting them.
A few kilometres further on, Dio walked through the streets admiring the architecture of the buildings, it looked like ancient China, but bigger and more modern.
Of course, his particular outfit attracted attention, but after looking at his level of cultivation, they disdainfully ignored him so early on.
He continued to wander the streets until the evening.
Then he found a decent inn at the scandalous price of one gold coin per night, so he decided to postpone his tourist activities until the next day and reluctantly paid the fat boss of the inn.
Who accompanied him to a rather pleasant room.
In the inn's room, Dio was sitting at the edge of the window as he watched passers-by marching down the street in front of inn.
He opened the backpack that Old Lin had given him as he left the village and removed the spiritual stones from the small chest by holding them in his hands
"The system detected 4 components with a low energy concentration. »
"Request authorization from host for conversion to exp"
Dio was immediately surprised by the sound of the system and rushed to answer.
"Authorization granted"

System review : you are very strong for a ant.
"I can earn exps other than by killing, why didn't you tell me earlier" asked Dio with a slight anger.
"For the host had not asked me"
Dio: (-_-)
"System, I hate you so much"
"It's reciprocal stupid Host. »
"So system, I can increase my level even with objects" asked Dio one last time
"Yes, but the objects in question must have a certain energy value. »
After learning this, Dio checked that there were no spiritual stones left in the small chest. After confirmation, he lay down on the bed before closing his eyes.
Tomorrow is a new day, he said to himself
Then he fell asleep.
The night passed quietly
Knock-knock... Knock-knock..... Knock-knock
"Dear guests, your time is up, I have to make sure that the room is available for another guest."said the voice of the fat boss from the day before
Dio opened his eyes, stretched out and while rubbing his eyes, he walked to the door.
"Give me one more night" and he gave another piece of gold to the fat owner
Then Dio went back to sleep for another two hours before waking up.
He then left the hostel to find a place to have breakfast, as he was thinking about what to eat,
he was interrupted by a commotion further away, he approached the crowd then to see what was happening.
"Su Wei, were you forced to break our marriage contract in front of everyone ?" said a young voice that could barely contain her rage
"Li Yan, how a trash like you can marry the young mistress Su" scorned a servant standing next to the girl named Su Wei
"It's a problem between Su Wei and me, a good dog doesn't bark when he shouldn't" said the young man named Li Yan
Curious Dio asked a young man in close to him.
"Brother, what's going on here?"
"It's Li Yan the former genius of the Li family, he hasn't been able to practice for 3 years now, he has fallen from a genius to a total waste," whispered the young man.
"Hmm... Just a toad that wants to eat swan meat" scorned another young man in the crowd
"I heard that Miss Su was a disciple of a former sword Sect elder.
"I remember the Su family having a celebration for three days and three nights," commented a fat man.
Dio approached to watch the show how as a worthy Otaku, can he ignore the classic story of the protagonist who had his engagement broken off.
"Li Yan, you seek death," shouted the servant and as he prepared to attack Li Yan
"Wait" stopped a beautiful voice, it was the girl named Su Wei.
She was about 15 years old with fine eyebrows and a fine face with ruby-colored eyes, black hair styled in a bun.
"Let no one tell me that the Su clan of the imperial capital intimidates a poor trash for the cancellation of a marriage contract, if you agree to cancel the contract, the Su family will compensate you with a 500-year-old ginseng and 100 spiritual stones," says Su Wei with a fair tone as if it was giving alms to a beggar in the street.
All those present took a deep breath with greedy eyes, it should be known that a silver coin is the income of a mortal from a month's work and a gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, but a spiritual stone is equal to 10,000 gold coins.
Not to mention 500-year-old ginseng, which could raise anyone's culture below Qi core instantly.
.« Well, since the Su family wants the marriage contract annulled, I will do it here and now," said the young man named Li Yan took the marriage contract from a Su Wei servant, signed it and threw it in the face of the girl named Su Wei.
And declared "From now on Su Wei and me Li Yan have nothing to do with each other under this sky and on this earth" said Li Yan with anger, but with great pride in his voice.
But the last part of what he said almost made Su Wei's blood almost vomit.
"And keep your garbage to yourself,i doesn't need the property of a trash family like the Su family" says Li Yan before turning around to leave
Everyone was amazed, even Dio in the crowd wanted to vomit blood.
It is 100 spiritual stones this is equivalent to 1,000,000 exp.
He must be the legendary protagonist to be so arrogant.
"Kid doesn't even think about leaving today after insulting the Su family," says a 50-year-old man with white hair
Appeared out of nowhere
"He is the old butler Chun of the Su family, it is said he has already reached the late phase Qi core he is the most faithful servant of the patriarch of the Su clan."
"Hahahaha this Li Yan trash is finished, being so arrogant when you don't have the skills, um, he reaps what he sows" laughed some people while admiring the show
Li Yan stopped, turned around and said, "Just a another Family Su dog, do you have a problem with that?
Butler Chun immediately became furious, it was the first time that a person of the younger generation dared to talk to him like that, although he is a servant of the family, he is also a powerful expert on Qi core.
He had his dignity.
Being called a dog by a hairless young man, one more waste put him in a black rage.
In his anger he punched in the direction of Li Yan, this punch was such that all people within 20 meters were thrown in different directions.
Li Yan who was paralyzed, unable to move under the pressure of this attack.
Seeing the fist approaching him, Li Yan knew he was going to die, he closed unconsciously his eyes.
Everyone present expected to see a horrible show.
Some sensitive people closed their eyes so as not to see Li Yan in minced meat.
One second... 2 seconds...
3 seconds... 5 seconds passed, but the terrible spectacle he had expected did not happen.
But what they saw made them even more amazed
Li Yan also opened his eyes and looked at the scene with disbelief.
A young man in a strange dress with a golden aura emanating from him stopped Butler Chun's fist with 3 fingers.
"Old man, it's not good to intimidate younger than you," says Dio with a smile
The old butler Chun was amazed, he was blocked like by an invisible wall.
His fist couldn't even move an inch forward.
