The next day Cui Wen stopped his cultivation before 5 AM. Letting out a soft sigh he stood up in the darkness. After dusting himself off Cui Wen went to his walking closet filled with a variety of robes.
Today he decided to go with a more menacing one, it was a custom made robe black in color with golden lining. After swiftly dressing himself he combed his straight hair before stepping out. The Royal Xi Academy was a few hundreds kilometers away however it wasn't a problem with his Golden Core Cultivation base alongside the lightning attribute.
Then he set off to the academy.
..
Meanwhile in the Royal Xi Academy.
Cui Wang gathered his various subordinates numbering 30 people and went to the gate. Seeing the other Cui Clan members in the distance he waved. Altough they were at odds most of the time they are still family.
A crowd had already formed with around 200 people waiting for Cui Wen.
"Does any sisters or brothers know why we have gathered?" A cultivator in the crowd asked curiously.
He thought it would be a simple gathering however seeing all the Cui Clan members and vassal families it surely is important.
"I don't know brother, however seeing how everyone is gathered it must be important." Another cultivator replied in response.
Seeing the whole Cui Clan gather other factions stayed to watch what they are doing.
"Whats going on? Have they finally decided to cooperate?!" A nearby cultivators from the Jiang faction asked in curiosity towards the Ye faction member.
"I don't know but it seems important seeing the faces of those Cui Clansmen." The Ye faction member said in response
"If the Cui Clan merge a new first rate faction will be made.." another cultivator thought in the distance.
Finally did Cui Wang arrive with his subordinates.
The Cui Clansmen immediately questioned him about the gathering however remained silent when he motioned for them to stop.
Cui Yan was very curious about who was coming however no names came at the moment. She had gathered almost all her female subordinates at the request of Cui Wang. They numbered almost 50 and looked odd in the crowd.
" *Cough* Everyone please wait patiently we are here to meet someone." Cui Wang announced and stepped into the front of the crowd.
Immediately everyone turned silent hearing his request.
"Who would dare make the Cui Clan genius Cui Wang wait and prepare all of these subordinates." Many thought.
Eventually a few minutes went by and still nothing. A few cultivators here and there started talking to each other in boredom. Cui Wang stood tall in silence until...
"Does anyone notice that?!" A cultivator pointed out into the distance.
Immediately everyone turned their heads in the fingers direction.
"Lightning??" The same cultivator exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh?" The many Cui geniuses were looking at the approaching lightning in curiosity.
"Silence! The Young Master is coming!" Cui Wang shouted silencing the crowd. He instinctively knew this was Cui Wen.
"Y-young master?" The timid Cui Mei said in shock.
Suddenly the memory of Cui Wen beating Cui Feng halfway to death surfaced.
Cui Yang and Cui Yan looked at her strangely, who was this young master?
The lightning in the sky swiftly came closer and closer until boom!
Three lightning bolts fell down in a row and Cui Wen appeared in the sky with his dark black Robe. The lightning continued flickering around him almost like an armor.
In the air Cui Wen stared at the crowd with satisfaction. About 300 people stood there in shock seeing lightning bolts strike down and a person appearing.
"Greetings to Young Master Wen!" Cui Wang went on one knee and cupped his fists towards the air.
"Greetings to Young Master Wen!" Cui Mei replied the same in fear.
Seeing these two bow humbly to Cui Wen they felt a drop of sweat run down their back.
"Greetings to Young Master Wen!" The Cui family geniuses realizing it was the genius Cui Wen bowed the same.
"Greetings to Young Master Wen!" The rest got down on one knee to show their respects. The 300 of them greeting Cui Wen loudly was heard in the surroundings and the nearby students suddenly had a bad feeling..
+800 SP
...
+400 SP
...
...+200
The SP just kept on rolling through for Cui Wen.
"Rise, nice to meet you all brothers and sisters." Cui Wen responded after a few seconds using his Golden Core cultivation base to help them stand up. The lightning flickering around him eventually vanished showing a young handsome man.
Cui Wen slowly left the air and touched the ground.
"Brother Wang I assume?" Cui Wen asked meeting Cui Wang.
"Indeed Young Master Wen." Cui Wang responded with a smile.
"Later give me all the information of this academy, the factions, classes, rankings, everything." Cui Wen said in a voice transmission to Cui Wang.
Cui Wang simply nodded and motioned for Cui Wen to walk with him.
"I am in the Qilin class, is it any good?" Cui Wen continued.
"..Senior Brother it's ranked last.." Cui Wang said in regret.
"Last? Anyways are there any Golden Core first years?" Cui Wen replied in curiosity.
"Yes, there are two, Zhou Jing from the Phoenix class and Li Zhang from the Dragon class." Cui Wang responded as they were walking through the academy's lavish streets.
"Zhou Jing.." Cui Wen thought for a moment before brushing it off.
"Hmm, so where is this Qilin Class?" Cui Wen said holding his paper.
"Follow me Senior Brother Wen." Cui Wang replied and ran through the streets eventually reaching a peak in the distance.
"Senior Brother this is the Qilin peak, it has first years all the way to fifth years." He explained standing infront of the peak.
"Interesting, Junior Brother you can leave for now. Once I am finished I will contact you again." Cui Wen said before dashing into the peak leaving Cui Wang and the crowd alone.
"He just left without greeting us? Arrogant fuck!" Cui Yang said with an angry glare.
"Hmph, so what if he is a transfer student." Cui Yan remarked out loud for everyone to hear.
"Do you have a death wish?! You might not know this but Young Master Wen has already reached Golden Core and awakened his Cui Illusionary Tower! At only 15 years old!" Cui Wang exclaimed in anger at the stupidity.
"What!!?" Cui Yang shouted in disbelief.
"And if you didn't know, a few days ago he even killed and tortured his servant! I'm warning you right now don't even try to provoke Young Master Wen!" Cui Wang eventually finished hoping to warn these fools.
"Senior Brother Wang is Young Master Wen really that strong?" Cui Yan asked not trusting him.
"Do you really think I'm lying? How is he supposed to enter the Royal Xi Academy if he isn't at that level!" Cui Wang retorted one last time before walking away with his subordinates.
"I remember Young Master Wen, when he was younger I saw him almost beat Cui Feng to death and the Elders even tried attacking him.." Cui Mei explained out loud remembering that day.
"Really?" Cui Yan said once again, she didn't believe this at all with her pride.
"Yes really! I heard he even used the Cui Illusionary Tower on Cui Feng at the Grand Elders banquet making him kneel while crying!" Cui Mei said once again. She was often in contact with the clan unlike Cui Yan.
Eventually she turned silent before walking away dispersing the crowd.
"So what if he did that? I'm sure I can beat him!" Cui Yang reminded himself.
...
Cui Wen was exploring the Qilin Peak with curiosity, this large mountain range encompasses all first to fifth year classes, truly an interesting concept.
Eventually after walking up the stairs he met a few cultivators.
"Do you fellow cultivators know where the teachers are?" Cui Wen asked calmly looking at the couple walking down the stairs.
The male cultivator merely looked at him before ignoring his presence focused on his supposed dao companions.
An awkward silence prevailed before they resumed talking with each other on the steps.
"I asked you something." Cui Wen reminded the couple yet again this time unleashing his Golden Core Cultivation base.
The couple wobbled a bit before falling on the ground. The couples faces turned weaty and their primordial instincts activated indicating Cui Wen was dangerous.
"W-Who are you!? We are apart of the Golden Palm association!" The male cultivator shouted using his backing as an advantage.
"Am I supposed to care? I asked you something idiot." Cui Wen said overbearingly.
What was the number one way to get recognized? Fearsome reputation!
"Are you deaf? I asked where the teachers are!" Cui Wen remarked yet again this time grabbing the cultivators robe and dragging him up.
+50 SP
..
+200 SP
"Y-yes the teachers are in the management pavilion.." He responded with a death glare.
"Good, show me the way." Cui Wen simply replied dropping him onto the ground to guide.
