7 Nie Li's challenge

Some of the students who belonged to lower class families were angry because of the harsh words of their teacher, but still none said anything, all shook their heads in shame.

Shen Xiu, and a few nobles, proudly pushed out their chests and showed arrogant pride. Only Nie Li, Ye Ziyun, Lu Piao and a few other nobles kept calm.

Hao Asakura was looking at the other students, and suddenly he heard the voice of one of his classmates. It belonged to Ni Lie, who rose from his seat.

"Teacher Shen Xiu, I have a question," Nie Li suddenly spoke.

All the students were listening quietly and Nie Li suddenly interrupted her speech. This made Shen Xiu unhappy. Who would have thought Nie Li would actually speak up?

She coldly snorted, "What is it?"

"Teacher Shen Xiu says that Glory City is the only one that survived the Age of Darkness, that we are the only surviving humans. What proof do you have on this statement? May I ask if teacher ever went out of the St. Ancestral Mountains and visited the Endless Desert, the Toxic Forest, the Blood Moon Marsh, the Spirit Gulf, the Heavenly Luster Mountains, and the Northern Snow before?" Nie Li asked.

Hao was listening carefully to the conversation between the two, without having even the slightest information of all the places mentioned by Nie Li.

"It seems that the new Nie Li seems to have a lot of knowledge about this world, I'll have to manage to get that for myself." Hao thought as he continued to listen very carefully.

"What Heavenly Luster Mountain? What Northern Snow?" Shen Xiu frowned. She has heard of the Endless Desert, Toxic Forest and Blood Moon Marsh before, but those places were very far away from the St. Ancestral Mountains. She has only heard of them in legends.

Shen Xiu snorted, "I've been in Glory City since birth, and have never been to those places."

Nie Li smiled faintly and said, "Since Teacher Shen Xiu never went to those places, how can you be so sure that we are the only human beings alive?"

Shen Xiu was at a loss for words.

The students in the class started to talk quietly. They have no idea what kind of places Nie Li spoke about. Ye Ziyun, who was sitting far away, began to show interest that flashed across her eyes. She curiously look at Nie Li. How did Nie Li know of those places?

Shen Yue who was sitting beside Ye Ziyun slightly frowned his brows. He looked towards Nie Li, and realized he was quite handsome. Nie Li wasn't below him in terms of looks. Unknowingly, he felt a sense of crisis within his heart.

Seeing the students below discussing away, Shen Xiu's face was extremely displeased and scoffed, "So what? How can you prove that we are not the last surviving human beings?"

"Proof?"

"Let me tell Teacher Shen Xiu a story. There was once a frog in the depth of the well. Since his birth, he has always been in that well. Since the start he could only see a part of the sky, so he claimed that the sky is only as big as the hole of the well. But is the sky only the size of the hole? We could only say that the frog is ignorant."

Listening to what Nie Li just said, the students in the class couldn't help laughing. They felt that what Nie Li said makes sense. And the idiom, "a frog viewing the sky from the bottom of the well", is indirectly calling Teacher Shen Xiu a frog.

"Viewing the sky from the bottom of the well, what an appropriate description," a few girls said while giggling away. They all disliked Shen Xiu, and couldn't help looking at Nie Li full of admiration, since Nie Li was the only one daring enough to openly insult a teacher in class.

"You..." Shen Xiu started as she stared at Nie Li. She was furious to the point of almost vomiting blood. Nie Li actually compared her to an ignorant frog. She has never encountered such a rampant student.

In that instant, a firm voice emerged.

"Make no mistake, humans are ignorant, but not everyone ignores the same thing, maybe your story is true but you're still too arrogant." Hao said as he looked from his seat to Nie Li.

Everyone turned to look at Hao. The nobles were delighted with what the shaman king said, while Nie Li's group of friends looked at him with a scowl.

"You are right in that" - Nie Li said - "but in my opinion you seem more arrogant."

"It may be, since I have the strength to support my attitude, instead you do not pose such force." Hao replied while a smile appeared on his face.

"If you trust your strength so much then what do you think if in two months we fight?" - Nie Li asked.

"Very well, in two months I'll take you down from the clouds so you can see what reality is. The person who explored the free sky will realize that he was only in another well bigger than the frog's. "- Hao Asakura answered.

While the situation calmed down, everyone sat back down and the class went on for a while.

"It seems that he is underestimating me, but this situation favors me. In two months I will get all the information that Nie Li has and in the meantime I will improve my image within Glory city. "Hao thought.
