I changed the name of Xingfeng Forest to forest of abyss.

--------------------‐-------------------------------------------------------

FOREST OF ABYSS

Normally, the forest is filled with the beasts roaming freely. But today, it was eerily quiet.

In the depths of the core area, all the beasts with the strength of eight star and above are bowing their heads towards a towering beast of 20 feet height.

" Is what you said really true?"

A booming voice came from this beast. This beast has the appearance as same as the One eyed ape king.

" Yes, A human of scarlet eyes with multiple attributes killed the One eyed ape king. He seems to be a youngster with long hair. "

" Did humans really became so bold nowadays? To enter the inner area and start a fight,they seem to underestimate us beasts."

" Remember. From now on, hunt any human that enters our domain. Don't leave a single one alive. And get ready. We will attack those humans adventurer's town tomorrow midnight."

" YES "

The sound of the beasts resounded throughout the inner area.

CARNIVAL TOWN

"Sir, would you kindly remove your hood and show us your face? "

Feng zichen complied and showed his face to the people who seem to be In a guard uniform. "

" What is it? "

" You seem to be new here. We are the guards of the miles family which governs this city. You have to come with us for inspection. Don't try to hide anything even money understand? "

Feng zichen would have complied with them if it weren't for their expressions.

" What should I do? They seem to be here for something else. But if don't go with them, they will use the excuse that I was not following the protocol."

While Feng zichen was thinking of a way to escape from there, a voice came from behind him.

" You miles family people always for a way to extort people with power, huh."

" HUH? Who do you think you are to talk to us like that? Know your place. "

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the guard who's been silent until now decided to step in.

" Sorry. This is our fault. We will leave now."

" Hey, Why should we leave?"

" Idiot, did you see the token hanging around his neck. He is from the storm family. You're lucky that you are alive right now."

The one who has been arguing until now stopped with his mouth wide open. With the shaky voice, he apologized and ran with all his might without turning back.

Feng zichen noticed the sudden change in attitude and looked at the young man in front of him.

" Now that's out of the way, let's introduce ourself. My name is Raiden storm. What's yours?"

" Feng zichen "

" Hmm, a peculiar name. So, did you also come for the admissions of Stardust academy?"

" First, a question. Why do this many people interested in this admissions of an academy?"

" You don't know? Stardust academy is one of the top three academies of the continent. It's Dean is the fourth strongest person on the whole continent. He teaches to some specially talented students. Many people would die to meet him. Now do you understand why it is the talk of the town?"

Feng zichen who never experienced a college life, wanted to experience it now. ( the MC transmigrated here when was fifteen years old.)

" Your name is Raiden right? Did you also come here to join the academy?"

" No, I have already joined the academy.You see, I have some special privileges. But, if you really wanna join the academy, I can show you where the academy is. But first, we will have to meet up with my sister. She is a real handful."

Since he doesn't know where the academy is, he graciously accepted the offer.

" Thank you "

CITY OF ABSENIA

Above the continent, a city with various engravings on the walls surrounding the city gave people sense of dread.

Even though, this city is floating above the people, no more than fifteen people know it's existence.

The entire city is build using gold, diamonds and other precious metals. Huge amount of magic energy permiated the surroundings, that only the people with sanctuary or above strength could breath here.

In the middle of the city, a castle is surrounded by a forcefield. With two guards of sanctuary level strength blocking its front door, it's looks intimidating. In this desolate city, a man carrying a sword on his waist was walking towards the castle. Seeing him, the two guards opened the bounded field, bowed their heads, let him enter inside.

A man nodded his head and went in. Inside, in the center of a majestic hall, a huge tall was placed with five seats at right and left of the table. At the front of it, a single seat was placed with a man sitting with legs crossed. All the other seats were also seated by different people except for one. He went beside the table and took the seat which was vacant. Seeing all the people gathered, the man at the front said

" Shall we start?"
