Chapter 19 - Lesson

________________

Great Spirit Arena,

No one could deny how excited that audience had become while looking at the two young spirit masters fighting in the arena. This is by far the most amazing fight they have seen today since the two participants completely showcased their abilities.

"I-I thought your spirit was that of a dragon? H-How?" Zhu Zhuqing's mind was already in chaos after Lev had transformed into having a constitution of that of a White Tiger. She was completely familiar with this spirit as she could not mistake it for something else, however, her mind was completely dumbstruck upon seeing Lev using it right now.

"When did I say that?" Lev replied as he continued to block every attack that Zhu Zhuqing unleashed. He could actually end this fight right away, but he wouldn't since he has some other plans on why he was making this fight longer. Also, the fact that he still hasn't copied and learned all Zhu Zhuqing's abilities was another reason.

On the other hand, Oscar and the rest were also shocked when they saw Lev using the same ability as Dai Mubai. They pretty much thought that his spirit was that of a dragon, and yet their guess was completely wrong. However, the most shocked of them all was none other than Dai Mubai himself.

'I-Impossible. D-Did my family send Lev to observe me or is he an illegitimate child of my father?' Dai Mubai's expression cannot be described as he saw Lev's transformation however, he was sure that he was a little afraid when he thought that maybe his brother sent Lev to kill and dispose of him.

Meanwhile, Tang San who was looking at the arena could be found clenching his fist as he has a different thought in his mind. He was thinking, 'Does Lev also have another spirit like me?'

"Boss Dai, is Lev your relative or something?" Ma Hongjun could no longer stop his curiosity as he looked at Dai Mubai and asked him directly. Though it was not his first time seeing people having the same spirit, Lev really was something different.

Hearing Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and the others all looked at Dai Mubai. They were also having this kind of thought since it really was a possibility, however, something still kept bugging their minds as they hadn't seen them talking like they were an acquaintance.

"I-I don't know." Dai Mubai denied nervously.

"Shut up and just watch the battle." Flender said as he intervened. He was also shocked like the rest, however, there was nothing more important than watching the fight as he was also trying to make a conclusion as Lev's identity and background had gone haywire.

Hearing Flender, Tang San and the others then stopped talking and shifted their focus again on the arena whereas Dai Mubai started gritting his teeth as his mind couldn't stop working on what to do after knowing all of this.

________________

In the arena,

While everyone was having completely different thoughts about this, Lev and Zhu Zhuqing were still fighting without stopping while having a conversation that only the two of them could hear as the sound of excitement filled the whole arena.

"You want to become strong so that you can decide your fate, right? I know a little bit about the reason behind your coming here. Zhuqing, follow me and I'll help you grant your wish." Lev then finally said it. There were no longer more words added to it since Zhu Zhuqing was already carrying a big secret in her and so he felt like saying his intention directly was the correct move.

Hearing Lev, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened before calming down again. Though they had just known each other, she more or less knew that Lev was hiding many secrets within him. Given his mysterious strength, she did not doubt his words however, she wouldn't be swayed just like since she felt like he was doing it with a hidden motive.

"1st Spirit Ring Ability: Hell Rush Stab." Zhu Zhuqing dashed toward Lev's direction as she used her spirit ring ability. Forgetting about what Lev just said, she then just maintains her focus while thinking that either way, she could see the gap between her and the spirit of White Tiger and Lev.

[Spirit Ability: Hell Rush Stab has been learned.]

"Spirit Ability: White Tiger Shield Body Barrier." Lev, seeing the change on Zhu Zhuqing's face, smiles faintly. He has already said what his purpose is, it's on her if she would believe it. He then just decided to end this fight soon as the negative effect of the Ancient Incubus bloodline started acting up again after all that contact.

Zhu Zhuqing's attack was blocked easily however she didn't flinch as she was still not done yet. She then took another position and used another spirit ability. She said, "2nd Spirit Ring Ability: Hell Hundred Claws."

This time, Zhu Zhuqing's attack was so fast that it doubled up her speed because of her 1st spirit ring ability however, Lev wasn't surprised by her action as the barrier of his was completely different from Dai Mubai seeing how sturdy it was from his rank of a Spirit Emperor.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened upon seeing her attacks did not even cause any scratch to Lev however, she didn't have enough time to get distracted as she saw Lev was about to counterattack.

"Spirit Ability: White Tiger Intense Light Wave." Lev, upon seeing the opening, then used a spirit ability followed by another spirit ability that boosted his speed as he appeared right behind Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing dodged the attack however, she did not in the slightest notice that Lev was already behind her leaving her back openly for an attack. It was already late for her dodge and so the last thing she heard before fainting was Lev saying, "You'll see it if you give it a try."

Following Zhu Zhuqing's fainting, the announcement of Lev's victory cheerfully echoed throughout the arena. Excitement and loud shouts could be heard all over the place while Lev walked towards the exit while carrying Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.

________________

Waiting room,

Getting back in their room, Lev entered like nothing had happened and didn't mind the different conflicted expressions on their faces. He then first put Zhu Zhuqing down in a vacant seat and subconsciously caressed her cheeks.

"Y-You! How can you use my spirit abilities?" Dai Mubai could no longer stop himself from asking as he looked at Lev with mixed anger and fear. He still wasn't sure if he was sent by his own brother but there was one thing he wanted more about the fact that Lev didn't just have the same spirit as him, even his abilities were the same which is very abnormal.

"What about it? Do you have any problem?" Lev replied with a hint of provocation. Though Dai Mubai would become a capable person in the future, he never once liked his character at all given all the history of his life. If there was one thing he badly wanted to change in this world, then that would be severing Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with him as he felt like she deserved more than anyone else.

"Y-You." Dai Mubai angrily said and was about to launch an attack when Flender stopped him. His hatred against Lev has gotten worse and it even escalated right after seeing him carried and caressed Zhu Zhuqing while she was unconscious.

"Enough, Mubai." Flender said with a cold voice while looking at them.

"Your first lesson ends here. Return to the academy and rest. I will overlook what happened just for today. Ma Hongjun follow me." Flender announced. What happened right now was something he wasn't expecting however, as a dean, he left he needed to intervene and know about things, but he felt like today was still not the right for it. He looked at them for the last especially Dai Mubai and Lev before ordering Ma Hongjun to follow.

Following Dean Flender's leaving, Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and then looked at Lev, and without saying anything, he also left while gritting his teeth and clenching his fist so that a trace of blood could be seen in them.

Seeing Dai Mubai leaving, the room then became awkward however, it didn't last long before Xiao Wu also planned to leave the place as she said while having a complicated look on her face, "Brother San, let go back too."

"Yeah, let's head back." Tang San sighed. He then just held her hand as they walked away but a trace of frowning could be found on his face as his mind couldn't stop thinking as Lev's matter started getting mysterious and mysterious.

Following that, Oscar and Ning Rongrong also bid their farewell as they leave the place together leaving only Lev and Zhu Zhuqing together in the room.

"I know you're awake." Lev suddenly muttered as he sighed thinking that this group started breaking due to his presence but he never once felt guilty about his actions since he was also doing this for himself.

Hearing Lev, Zhu Zhuqing who was acting asleep opened her eyes and got up. She looked at the Tang San and the other's back first before looking at Lev and asked, "You're just the same age as me. How were you sure that you could make me strong?"

"That's true, however, I'm not normal. If you follow me, you don't even need to worry about anything. Your family or Dai Mubai's family, I don't care about them. All I need is a companion that will follow me and in exchange, I will make him/her stronger." Lev then replied in a very serious tone. He then looked at Zhu Zhuqing before emitting a very strong spirit pressure while looking at her to support his claim.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in great surprise and fear as she looked at Lev. There were only a couple of things that made her feel that way, but this time was something she really was not expecting. Looking at the person emitting a spirit pressure abnormal to that of his age was something she had never seen in her life.

"H-How--- No, who really are you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked while looking at Lev. She tried calming herself from the shocks and revelation that she had witnessed today but no matter what she did, her mind really couldn't take and process them all.

"I'm Lev Hendrix." Lev replied as he took back his spirit pressure and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile on his face. Though he wasn't sure if that was enough to persuade her, he believed that he had a higher chance on this one than Xiao Wu's case.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lev with conflicted emotions. Things really weren't good today but seeing is believing. Lev really was something out of common sense however, as he may be that strong, she still felt uneasy and so she needed to think things more before deciding.

________________

Meanwhile, a group of people could be found making a scene just outside the Great Spirit Arena These youths were none other than Tang San and the others for which a small trouble just happened to see the angry Dai Mubai while Tang San and the others defended Ning Rongrong on the other side.

The group talked and conversed before Dai Mubai turned back angrily and headed toward the academy leaving Tang San and the other's sighed in relief. Though they felt like it was the end, Ning Rongrong suddenly made a surprising move as she stood up and ran toward the two people coming in their direction.

"Brother Lev, I'll hire you to kill Dai Mubai. I know you're stronger than him. As long as you do it, afterward, you are our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's honored guest. I'll also give you money, ten thousand gold spirit coins, how about it? Furthermore, you will get the unconditional backing of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School." Ning Rongrong said with an ugly look on her face. She really wanted to kill Dai Mubai after being close to getting beaten. It was the first time she had been treated like this and so wanted to let him get a taste of offending her by using her clan's influence.

With this, Tang San and the others were completely shocked by Ning Rongrong's action however, what they were more worried about was the fact that if Lev accepted such an offer, Dai Mubai would surely be dead, and they have probably no way of stopping it.

"I'm the princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, my words can be counted." Seeing Lev didn't respond, Ning Rongrong followed while looking at Lev with a smile wanting to persuade him more by disclosing her identity.

"Sigh. You can go and solve your own problem. If you were really a princess, then killing some guy would not be that difficult." Lev sighed as he looked at Ning Rongrong before heading off so that he could already loosen up in the hotel. It was only now he realized how he hated her character early in the story but only slightly because he knows that she started off with a bad attitude and will only mature and change later on. So, if possible, he doesn't want to deal with her right now since she still has this superiority and spoiled princess complex.

"Y-You... D-Don't you know how powerful our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is?" Ning Rong said as she was really unwilling after hearing Lev declining. She has been treasured ever since she was born but after arriving at this place, she started feeling worse.

"What about them?" Upon hearing this, Lev stopped in his tracks as he looked back at Ning Rongrong with a very cold attitude that made the mood drop down an instant. Though it's a bit childish, he decided to teach this little girl a lesson wanting to make her wake to reality.

Hearing Lev's cold voice, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and especially Ning Rongrong felt their heart stop for a second seeing the kind of expression Lev was making. All their hair stood up as they conceived nothing but fear and danger as they looked at him as they could not believe that Lev, who was handsome and charming, could make such a face.

Among them, Zhu Zhuqing was a little bit okay as she already experienced his hidden might, however, Tang San and the rest found themselves couldn't even speak a single word whereas Ning Rongrong who was directly affected by Lev's bloodlust couldn't even move while her legs keep on shaking from fear.

"You did not own the world, Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. Not all people can be bought with money. Remember that." Lev said as he then took his bloodlust back before walking away. This bloodlust was something he had acquired and accumulated back when he was living in Sunset Forest and so it already printed deep inside him.

Seeing Lev leaving, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar took a deep breath while Ning Rongrong fell to the ground with tears flowing down from her eyes as different emotions started building inside them as they found Lev scary.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and then left first. Tang San and Xiao Wu calmed themselves down for a while before also leaving. Oscar, however, looked at Ning Rongrong first before following them behind.

After everyone left, that was when Ning Rongrong started crying as she couldn't stop her emotions anymore and let it all out.

________________

On the other side,

As Lev was on his way to Rose Hotel, his guard was always up as he found himself being followed after what happened back then. He has a few guesses of who they are but to completely know the truth, he could only sigh and take a detour towards the nearby forest wanting to face them and to eliminate possible danger that may harm Sia.

After heading far enough, Lev then stopped as he looked around. He then just calms himself down as something horrible might happen after this and so he wants to prepare himself. He then said, "For how much longer would you follow me? Show yourselves."

"Boy. I don't know if you're confident or just foolish to come to this place alone. But we are not here for that, we've to thank you for giving the princess a lesson however, you just went too far." After hearing Lev, a group of people then appeared not that far from Lev. They were wearing black cloaks wearing intimidating aura as they looked at Lev.

"So, it's from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School." Lev then replied after hearing that they came from that clan. Even though they hadn't said it themselves, he was sure that it was just from hearing the word 'Princess' from the leader's mouth.

"Don't resist, boy. Given that you have taught the princess a lesson, we will only give you a beating." After the leader spoke such words, one of the seven men then dashed forward to teach Lev a lesson however, everyone's guard immediately rose to their peak as they saw an unbelievable thing.

"You're too slow." Lev said as he pierced the man's chest with his bare hands while looking at his eyes filled with surprise, fear, and regret before dying. Following that, he then just threw the body off the ground while holding his heart in his hand. He looked at it for a while before looking at the remaining six with a cold stare.

"E-Evil." Shouted another man before they each unleashed their spirit ability and attacked Lev at the same time. It never comes to their mind that Lev was this strong however, it was really given since he was really young.

Seeing such a decisive attack, Lev used the skills he had that boosted his speed and evaded their attacks one by one. The next moment, he then motioned his hand and wrote something since he was not planning to play with them and wanted to end this fight early.

***Setsuna***

Right after that, a dragon came out and roared which prompted the remaining six men all to look at the dragon with nervousness and surprise in their eyes.

"Setsuna, open your eyes." Lev said and ordered without giving it a second thought. Just like he had ordered, Setsuna opened its eyes, and the six men immediately felt a burning sensation on their bodies.

"aaaaaaa!!!" Five men screamed in unison after being burned to death. Just like the first man to die, their eyes were completely filled with mixed emotions about what was happening. They have all thought that they had complete control of Lev and yet they were now digging their own graves after offending him.

***Homura***

However, Lev wasn't done as he summoned another dragon which became a whip. Lev then whipped the five men which turned them to ashes leaving the leader of the group alive and thinking about what to do with him since it made things completely complicated.

"P-Please stop." The leader of the group fearfully said while crawling on the ground since he found his body wouldn't obey his mind. Things just happened so fast that he even didn't realize that he was already kneeling on the ground while looking at how Lev killed his men in just mere seconds.

Lev, on the other hand, looked at the leader of the group first before recalling his spirit ability. He was thinking about what to do since it was already in his plan that he needed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School to join his organization later. He was actually planning on using their wealth and fame to support his organization but seeing things now, he felt like he needed to make some changes again.

"Relay this message to your clan. I don't put myself into trouble just like your clan would do and I think it is best to stop everything in here." Lev then said as he looked at the leader of the group. Following that, he then saw how the man started running away from him fearing that he would go back against his word.

With that, Lev then just looked at his shaking hand covered with blood. He sighed and started heading back to Rose Hotel to rest. He muttered, 'This is why I hated killing people. Sigh, what a day.'

________________

---The next morning---

Rose Hotel,

After yesterday's events, Lev woke up with a smile and peace on his face. Sia, on the other hand, was still sleeping beside him while hugging his arm. He was caressing her head while thinking about things before finally seeing Sia waking up from her slumber.

"Good morning, Master." Sia greeted with a smile.

"Mmm." Lev replied the same.

"Master, are you going to the academy now?" Sia sadly asked while looking at Lev. Though it was only two days did Lev started heading out to the academy, it was already enough for her to miss him that much as loneliness kept on attacking her every time she was left alone.

"Yeah." Lev replied while kissing her forehead after seeing a hint of sadness on her face. He has understood the meaning behind them, but he really doesn't have anything that he could do about it.

"Just wait a little longer and we will leave this place once again. After that, we will always then stay together afterward." Lev followed while giving her a charming smile since the time he planned on leaving this city was coming near. This place really didn't have anything that would help him grow as the only reason for his stay here was to grab some companion that would follow him throughout his journey in this world.

"Really master?" Sia excitedly asked as she got up from the bed while looking at Lev after hearing his words.

"Yes." Lev answered before he looked at Sia's naked body and his already hard cock started pulsating again wanting to do some morning exercise before going to the academy.

Feeling the burning sensation of Lev's cock, Sia looked at Lev with her blushing face before she moved on top of Lev. She then used her little hands and grabbed his grabbed and positioned them on her pussy. She then muttered, "Master, let me serve you before you go."

Hearing Sia, Lev smiled at her before his hands then held her waist tight which right after that, loud and lewd moans then started echoing inside the room. They didn't even need to hold back since there was no way the other would know about what they were doing since the room was a unique one.

________________

Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School,

On the north side of the main hall, facing south of the master seat was a rosewood-carved great chair, on the back of the chair set an enormous jade stone. The jade stone was dark green, emitting a faint warm and moist air, the best quality warm jade.

In the rosewood-carved great chair, one man sat upright. This man's face was like fair jade, nose straight and mouth square, appearance refined and gentle, wearing a pure white robe without a speck of dust. Appearing approximately forty years old, with a gentle gaze, he looked like an ordinary person. Soft black hair was scattered over his shoulders and back, all looked subconscious, without any artifice. Currently, he looked at the person kneeling below him. Surprisingly, it was the man with whom Lev had a battle last night.

"What happened to you and where are your comrades? Has something happened to Rongrong?" The middle-aged man asked with his brows knitting while looking at the man covered with injuries. He has ordered some men to follow and protect her daughter and yet seeing the man in front of him makes his heart nervous and afraid.

"Returning to report to the schoolmaster, we had a conflict with the classmate of the young miss." The man said respectfully while still having a lingering fear in his eyes. He ran throughout the night without stopping as Lev's image kept on hunting him when he closed his eyes, and despite being inside their clan, he still felt that he was unsafe.

"Hmmm. Explain it with details." The middle-aged man said with curiosity. Hearing the man before him saying such a report, he has already concluded that her daughter wasn't in danger since if it was, that would be the first word that would from his mouth.

......

After minutes of explaining,

"Please forgive me, schoolmaster, we never would have thought that he was that powerful. We were unable to fight back and even my comrades died in his hands." The man's face revealed a very sad look while recalling the nightmare he had experienced.

"I don't blame you as you were just doing your job, you can withdraw." The middle-aged man said while pondering something in his mind about what he just heard, however, despite the sad event that happened to the leader of the group, he hardly could stop hiding his smile.

"Schoolmaster, that kid also relayed a message." The man replied while feeling a bit at ease thinking the clan head would not punish him or something.

"Ohh. What is it?" The middle-aged man then asked with curiosity.

"He said that we just leave him alone and stop making trouble for him. I don't know where his confidence came from but he's serious about it. What if he comes fro---" The man relayed however, before he could finish the report, someone interrupted him on the way.

A bold powerful voice echoed within the hall. The voice seemed to come from all directions, shaking the hall slightly, "How bold!! Fengzhi, let me go and teach that kid a lesson. I would also go and bring Rongrong back. I cannot feel at ease when Rongrong was living beside that kid."

Along with the appearance of the voice, a hair and beard all white, but a face tender like a baby's walked out from the back of the hall, with a big whoosh he then appeared beside the chair where schoolmaster Ning Fengzhi was sitting.

Ning Fengzhi showed a helpless expression and said, "Uncle Jian, it's only a conflict between youngsters there's no need for you to come yourself. Rongrong also needs discipline. Let her go outside to receive instruction and maybe she will change somewhat."

Uncle Jian snorted in a spitting rage and replied, "Hmmp, remember your words. If ever Rongrong has problems, we will hold you on account."

After that, Uncle Jian then left leaving Ning Fengzhi and the man behind.

"Investigate that young man Lev for me." Ning Fengzhi then ordered. He has a different view on this matter as he is curious about how a young man can hide his actual power behind the eyes of many spirit masters in the academy.

"Yes, schoolmaster." The man replied and then quickly withdrew.

'Very interesting.' Ning Fengzhi thought as he laid back on his throne while feeling excited from the information he had known today thinking that this might also be an opportunity.
