Ch. 1701..1710
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1701
No one knew that Alex had changed his appearance with transformation technique after getting off Nora’s helicopter. Certainly, Yuno and Holly saw it
“Whether it is Jade Benmore’s disciple, or the Lawrence family’s enemy who killed Maxwell Lawrence, once my identity is exposed inside the Flying Eagles Academy, I’ll surely attract endless trouble.”
“Disguise and transformation is the wisest choice.”
Yuno nodded. “That Jade Benmore whosoever isn’t considered a real expert too. In order to attract you to the Flying Eagles, that person would go to any length. Don’t worry, when my strength is slightly recovered, I’ll trample that woman under my foot and make her address you as daddy.”
Alex was dumbfounded.
“Cough! Um… It’s not necessary! Commander Benmore has had it quite hard in order to protect our home and the country.”
Yuno grunted and kept quiet.
At this time, another helicopter landed. It stopped in front of Alex and the rest. Ten or so people came down from the helicopter. They were young, vigorous men and women with an extraordinary cultivation base.
Alex looked at them in a sweeping glance. It turned out that most of them were cultivators and their cultivation base was not weak. One of them had reached the Core Formation stage just like him.
It seemed like he had really underestimated the world. Originally, he thought that Martial Honors and Martial Saints could run rampant in America. Only now did he realize that there were many people that were much stronger than the Martial Honors and Martial Saints.
They just did not move around in the same activity circle. Ever since having contact with the secret realm and the ancient force field, the focus of many cultivators was no longer in the ordinary realm of America.
Besides, the American officials had blocked the news so that ordinary citizens would not find out that there were still many cultivators in this world.
“Hey, Senior, are you a student from the Flying Eagles Academy too?”
A sturdy, strong guy ran toward Alex and the others. He was smiling, cheerful and enthusiastic.
Yuno glanced at him. She immediately lost interest in this little guy who did not even reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
Alex said, “You guys are…”
The guy smiled and said, “We are the winners of the Flying Eagle Selection Tournament, and we are here to report to the Flying Eagles Academy on our first day today. My name is Bradley Choo, Senior.”
Just when Alex wanted to tell him that he was not any senior, several young men and women ran over. A pretty yet arrogant lady pushed Bradley away. “You’re just a civilian without any cultivation base. What are you stirring here? Stay aside.”
After that, she smiled at Alex. “Senior, my name is Jinvy Huckson, and I’m under the East Flower Sect’s grand elder, Bolin Chelston. I’m now at the Intermediate-Divine Transcendence stage. Senior, do give me some guidance from now on.”
Alex looked at her and thought, ‘Which faction does the East Flower Sect belong to?’
He asked, “Do all of you belong to the East Flower Sect?”
Jinvy said, “It’s not like that. Eight of us are from the East Flower Sect while six are from Hidden Sword Pavillion! By the way, Senior, how come I can’t tell your cultivation base? Could it be that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage and above already?”
These words immediately caused the people around to look at Alex with an incomparable look of longing and respect.
‘He’s already at the Nascent Soul stage and above at such a young age. How awesome!’
Jinvy only assumed that because Holly’s cultivation base had reached the Divine Transcendence stage, just like her. Clearly, Holly was looking up to Alex.
The truth was that Holly had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage previously and she could not make any breakthrough. However, when Alex came back from the Spiritual Valley Dungeon, he obtained an entire storage purse’s worth of spiritual herbs that were enough to concoct thousands of pills that could restore her energy cores and meridians.
After that, Holly’s energy cores were restored, and she also got the vital energy pill specially made for her by Alex. Eventually, her accumulated cultivation rushed into the Divine Transcendence stage in one fell swoop.
Alex shook his head. “I’m not at the Nascent Soul stage and above. In fact, you people don’t have to address me as a senior because we also just came to report ourselves today.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1702
Jinvy’s expression changed. Her deliberate ingratiating attitude earlier disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by condescension and disdain.
A grunt came out of her nose.
A young man at the side, who wanted to please Jinvy, spoke viciously toward Alex, “What the hell? A civilian student without any cultivation? You’re far worse than Bradley Choo. You should’ve clarified it right away when my senior Jinvy addressed you as a senior. D*mn, you even pretended to be stupid and intended to take advantage out of us. If this wasn’t the entrance of the
Flying Eagles Academy, I would’ve beaten you to the ground.”
Alex chuckled. “You could try.”
Jinvy pulled that East Flower Sect’s disciple back. “The Flying Eagles Academy forbids private fights. Don’t fall for his tricks. A civilian staff without cultivation will not achieve anything. There will be plenty of opportunities to mess him up later.”
“Alright, Senior!”
That guy contained his anger and looked at Alex coldly. “B*stard, wait for it!”
Alex raised his hand and slapped him on the face.
Slap!
It was loud and clear.
The guy was stunned from the slap. He looked at Alex in disbelief. “What the f*ck?! How dare you hit me?!”
“Your mouth is full of sh*t!”
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Alex raised his hand and gave him another four slaps, knocking off a mouthful of his teeth. He coldly said, “Curse at me one more time and I’ll shut you up for the rest of your life.”
All the people from the East Flower Sect were righteously outraged yet felt dumbfounded.
Among these people, the Core Formation cultivator from the Hidden Sword Pavilion glanced twice at Alex, Holly and Yuno before immediately drawing his attention elsewhere. After that, he turned to the other disciples of Hidden Sword Pavilion and said, “This is none of our business. We should head in first!”
“Yes, Eldest Senior!”
Meanwhile, the people of East Flower Sect surrounded Alex and the others.
“How unbridled. How arrogant. You’re just a civilian student. How dare you lay hands on someone from the East Flower Sect? Do you want to be expelled from the Flying Eagles Academy?”
Alex calmly said, “Since I’m just a civilian student, what is it that I’d be afraid of? Come at me altogether if you’re that capable.”
Jinvy pointed at Alex “You’ll pay for this. Let’s go!”
The people from the East Flower Sect left. That guy named Bradley was from the East Flower Sect as well.
He walked at the end. When he passed by Alex, he whispered, “Sister Huckson will surely report you to the personnel in the Flying Eagles Academy. If you have connections around here, you should look for them immediately!”
Alex was not afraid of being reported by these people. The three of them did not enter through the selection, but with Jade Benmore’s referral letter.
Jade went to great lengths to get Alex in here with the purpose to serve her. How could she possibly let the people from the Flying Eagles Academy expel him?
When Alex and the others stepped into the entrance of the Flying Eagles Academy, they were indeed in trouble.
Jinvy, who stood in front of a few law enforcement officers, pointed at Alex and said, “That’s him, the civilian student without any cultivation. He attacked the martial arts students of the East Flower Sect with a bad attitude to lure us to fight back and cause a private fight, so that the academy can cancel our admission. Fortunately, the people of the East Flower Sect knew the rules. Otherwise, we would have fallen for his trick. My junior got four teeth knocked out by him just like that.”
One law enforcement officer said, “The Flying Eagles Academy shall not allow students with such bad behaviour to stay.”
In Jinvy’s sneer, the three law enforcement officers charged toward Alex.
“Get down on your knees and leave your acceptance letter. And then, get out!”
Alex raised one of his eyebrows. “Huh? Why?”
One of them said, “You’ve breached the academy rules when you picked a fight. You’ve been expelled.”
Alex shook his head. “You want to expel me? You aren’t qualified to do so.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1703
“What did you just say? Say it one more time.”
The law enforcement officers were furious. It was their first time seeing such an arrogant freshman. In fact, these law enforcement officers patrolling the academy entrance were not hired employees of the Flying Eagles Academy but veteran students of the Flying Eagles Academy. After studying in the Flying Eagles Academy for a year and earning enough points, they could enter the ancient force field. But in reality, most people were unwilling to enter the ancient force field because the place was too dangerous. However, they were willing to stay at the Flying Eagles Academy.
This was because the Flying Eagles Academy had plenty of spiritual energy and inextricable ties with the inside of the ancient force field. For example, many of the materials extracted from the ancient force field would be distributed by the frontliners on the spot, whereas the rest would flow into the Flying Eagles Academy and be distributed to the people of the academy.
These materials were simply not available outside. Other than that, there was still another reason.
Other than the martial arts sects, the cultivation sects still existed in America nowadays. For instance, the Mountain Warriors, the East Flower Sect that had appeared previously, Hidden Sword Pavilion, and the other one was the Yukon Sect.
These four cultivation sects had a long history of heritage, and they had formed the biggest cultivation sects in current America. However, compared with the Flying Eagles Academy, even these big four sects had to step aside. It could be said that the Flying Eagles Academy was an official organization of America that was tantamount to a cultivation alliance, including the big four sects.
The big four sects also had to procure many resources from the Flying Eagles Academy.
Meanwhile, many onlookers were attracted to the academy entrance because of the law enforcement officers’ roars. The gathered onlookers included the members of the Black Tiger Corps who had been waiting specifically for Alex.
“What happened?”
“A freshman and the people of the law enforcement team are having a conflict. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a surprising scene. I hope this freshman won’t let us down.”
“Ugh! That Rockefeller guy still hasn’t shown up yet, and I’m getting sleepy from the waiting! Let’s go, let’s go to the front and watch the show. I’d really hope to see a tough one teaching those guys from the law enforcement team a lesson. What a bunch of trash.”
Many senior students dared not mess with the Black Tiger Corps as well.
So, even though that person spoke loudly and the senior law enforcement team members could hear him clearly, they did not dare to do anything to him. They could only vent their anger on Alex.
“Kneel down!”
“Otherwise, we’d break your legs!”
The senior law enforcement officer lifted the stick in his hand. He twisted it and stretched it before turning it into a long stick.
Alex simply glanced at it, and he knew that it was a magical treasure.
However, he saw the other law enforcement officer holding the same stick. That thing was probably a mass-produced item, so it should not be that great.
Meanwhile, the people of the East Flower Sect, especially Jinvy, were sneering as they looked at Alex. The group of onlookers around him all had the expression of watching a monkey show.
They looked at him but they also looked at Holly and Yuno.
Alex took a deep breath, and he suddenly changed his mind.
Previously, he changed his appearance and hid his identity so that he could lay low in the Flying Eagles Academy. After earning enough points, he would go to the ancient force field to look for a chance. However, when he saw the gazes of these onlookers, he suddenly did not want to lay low.
Kind people would get bullied by others; others would take advantage of docile people. He would not mind if it was just him, but he could never let Holly and Yuno suffer with him.
So…
“You said I picked a fight, but did you see it? Which eye of yours saw it? Do you have any proof?” asked Alex as he sneered at the law enforcement officers.
That person swung his stick. “Are you trying to deny it?”
Alex shook his head. “You’re wrong. I’m not going to deny it. I just want to show you the way I picked a fight!”
The law enforcement officers were puzzled. Everyone else was puzzled as well.
Meanwhile, with a sudden flash of his body and a rhythm of lightning, Alex rushed into the East Flower Sect in the crowd and suddenly grabbed that arrogant woman, Jinvy.
He raised his hand.
Slap!
A slap landed heavily on Jinvy’s face.
“Do you see it now? This is how I pick a fight.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1704
“Do you want to record this? Did you see it clearly? I’ll show it to you one more time, what do you think?”
Slap!
It was another slap.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Holly’s mouth had formed an ‘O’ shape while the onlookers let out a gasp. Jinvy was even insanely angered. As the disciple of the East Flower Sect’s grand elder, she was known as a high-ranking disciple in the sect. Since when had she been treated like that?
However, she suddenly realized that she was held down by Alex and was unable to move. Her spiritual power in her entire body seemed to have been sealed. Not to mention the power to fight back, she could not even speak.
Only Yuno was showing a look of appreciation.
The person that she favored had to be overwhelmingly dominant. What’s the use of cowering and hiding like a useless trash?
Even the Black Tiger Corps were stunned.
“Holy sh*t! This guy is way too awesome!”
“This is my first time seeing such an overbearing freshman!”
“I like him already!”
The people from the East Flower Sect could not stand it anymore.
It would be too embarrassing for the disciples of the East Flower Sect to stand there aside while watching their senior sister getting pinned down and slapped!
“Brothers, beat him up!”
“My people of the East Flower Sect shall not be humiliated. No matter who it is, we shall fight till the end, even if it means we’re dropping out of the Flying Eagles Academy!”
Alex grunted when he looked at the charging people.
“Kneel down, all of you!”
It was a phrase that contained a powerful mental storm. These people from the East Flower Sect generally had weak mental strength. How could they possibly be compared to an existence like Alex who had fought against the ghost emperor, fought against the skeleton army and even had a shattered Chaos Bead in his mind palace?
Thud! Thud! Thud!
All seven of them kneeled down all over the place.
“F*ck!”
“How ferocious! Where did he come from? The Black Tiger Corps must have him!”
“Just because you people want him, and he’d be yours? The White Dragon Corps wants him too. Let’s play this fairly!”
Someone said, “Won’t he be expelled?”
“Um…”
When the statement was made, the Black Tiger Corps and the White Dragon Corps shook their heads and sighed. It would only be strange as hell if the Flying Eagles Academy did not expel him for causing such a huge ruckus and fighting so violently.
The senior law enforcement student was seething with rage.
He felt like his authority had been insulted. He grabbed his black magical stick and yelled, “How unbridled!”
That magical stick swung heavily toward Alex’s head.
Alex’s eyes were as sharp as blades. He did not move his legs but his hand was covered with lightning as he grabbed the magical stick tightly with his hand.
“Let go!”
Lightning raged and travelled to the arm of the law enforcement officer.
He could not help but let go of the magical stick, only to be snatched away by Alex. With a bang, he smashed it backhandedly on the law enforcement officer’s calf.
Poof!
The senior law enforcement student instantly fell on his knees with an excruciating expression. He could not even get up for a long time.
The two remaining law enforcement officers did not even dare to get near that fierce freshman. The Flying Eagles Academy had been established for decades, and since when had such an incident happened?
“A… Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Flying Eagles Academy and locked up in the prison?” questioned Jinvy loudly when she could finally speak.
She knew that she had misjudged this guy. He was at least ten times more powerful than her. However, it was too late to regret it now. All she had was hatred and resentment now.
“I wouldn’t have beaten you up if I’m afraid!” Alex laughed as he said.
He swung the stick on Jinvy’s butt and asked the crowd, “Where’s the registrar’s office for freshman admission? Whoever takes me there will be rewarded with two Spiritual Demon Pills!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1705
“What?”
“Two Spiritual Demon Pills?”
“Just take them to the registrar’s office for freshman admission?”
The onlookers of the Flying Eagles Academy were all shocked. The Spiritual Demon Pill was some great and rare good. It was considered a fourth-grade pill!
In the Flying Eagles Academy, only the instructor known as the Fairy Doctor knew how to concoct that pill.
Even though it could be redeemed in the academy’s points exchange mall, it was so expensive that it could go up to a thousand points for a pill, and not many people could afford to buy it.
“Are you telling the truth?” A senior student came forward a few steps. “Can I take a look at the two Spiritual Demon Pills?”
Originally, some people already could not resist the urge to jump out and say “I’ll take you there or something”. But now that this senior student asked so, everyone wanted to see if he could really come up with two Spiritual Demon Pills.
Even though it was convenient to bring them to the freshman admission counter, it would not be nice if people were to find out that they had been fooled by a freshman!
Alex waved his hand at Holly.
Holly took out a huge bottle from her backpack. It was brown in colour, the kind that could hold four hundred pills of cod liver oil capsules. She simply took out a handful of them, with seven or eight pills in total.
“Brother, here!”
Holly put the pills in Alex’s palm. Then, she took back one pill and put it into her mouth. She smacked her lips and swallowed it.
Alex threw two pills at that senior student and said, “You can check it out.”
After that, he picked up the two pills and swallowed them right away. He passed the remaining two to Yuno.
“Do you want it?”
Yuno picked them up with her dainty fingers and put them in her tiny mouth elegantly.
Thud! Thud!
At this moment, many people’s jaws dropped as their eyes widened.
‘What was that?’
‘Were those really the Spiritual Demon Pills?’
‘That had to be jelly beans, right?’
The senior student who had received the two Spiritual Demon Pills looked at Alex and the others dumbfoundedly. His mind was blank and he did not even know what to do next until someone rushed over to snatch one pill away from his hand and examine it carefully.
“This is a Spiritual Demon Pill?”
“Hahaha! What a joke this is?! This is so tiny, I bet it’s just a six-flavored licorice pill!”
In fact, these Spiritual Demon Pills that Alex had concocted were not small at all. They were even slightly larger than cod fish oil capsules. How could they be compared with six-flavored licorice pills?
After that, many people rushed over. At a glance, they all burst into laughter.
“Haha! This is so funny! How could you call these Spiritual Demon Pills?”
“Freshman, you’re quite funny. Do you think we don’t know what a Spiritual Demon Pill looks like? A real Spiritual Demon Pill is at least three times bigger than yours.”
A senior took out a black pill as he spoke, “Look carefully. This is what a real Spiritual Demon Pill looks like. It’s personally concocted by Instructor Fairy doctor, and it’s only available in the Flying Eagles Academy. Don’t tell me that this is an original version of the Spiritual Demon Pill made by yourself.”
Holly said, “Indeed, my brother personally concocted these pills. You’re the blind one who don’t know the Spiritual Demon Pill.”
“Hahaha!”
The scene was filled with laughter again.
That person said, “I’m from the Elixir Department of the Flying Eagles Academy. How dare you say that I don’t know the Spiritual Demon Pill? Little sister, you’ve to be responsible for your words.”
At this moment, a group of people led by a lady walked in from the outside of the academy gate. She wore a green long dress, combed with a nice classical hair bun. Her face was covered with a veil and her features could not be seen, but her eyes were round, big and bright like the fleeting stars in the night sky.
The moment she stepped through the entrance, she swept a glance at the crowd present.
Afterwards, she said, “Huh?” and moved her feet. She instantly arrived in front of the senior student who spoke earlier and grabbed the Spiritual Demon Pill.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1707
As soon as they heard that, they knew those were the people from the East Flower Sect.
Someone amongst the crowd lightly gasped as well. “It’s Stan Cooley, who is ranked thirteenth on the Flying Eagles’ combat strength leaderboard!”
“Stan Cooley comes from the East Flower Sect and he’s the leading figure of the younger generation in the East Flower Sect. I never expected him to be here! Didn’t the others say that he took the Eastern Expedition Regiment some time ago to look for the Dragon Dungeon?”
“This is going to be a good show. I wonder if this freshman can defeat Stan Cooley?”
“Are you even awake yet? How can a freshman be compared with Stan Cooley Who’s ranked thirteenth on the leaderboard?”
Alex was slightly startled as he listened to the words of those onlookers.
What was a combat strength leaderboard? He had no idea what that was; but he could tell Stan’s strength. He was at the Intermediate-Core Formation stage. Indeed, he was considered an expert.
At this moment, Jinvy and the other East Flower Sect’s disciples immediately rushed over and gathered next to Stan. Jinvy covered her face with her hand and pounced on Stan, crying with an overwhelming sadness on her beautiful face. “Brother, you have to get justice for me!”
Stan patted Jinvy on her back. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you get justice. I’ll make him regret being a human being for bullying the people of our East Flower Sect.”
At this moment, another member of the East Flower Sect whispered in Stan’s ear while looking toward Holly’s backpack.
The next moment, Stan’s gaze was fixated on Holly, and his eyes were filled with greed.
Many people knew about it
That person must have told Stan about the Spiritual Demon Pills. After listening to it, Stan must have felt a stirring emotion and jealousy.
That senior student in the Elixir Department who had received two Spiritual Demon Pills from Alex whispered to him, “Bro, this person shouldn’t be messed with. He’s notorious for his ruthlessness in the academy. You you should hurry and look for Instructor Fairy Doctor. If she’s willing to intervene for your sake, she might be able to help you silence him.”
Right after he finished speaking, Stan took two steps forward and said coldly, “Did I ask you to speak?”
He directed his words at that senior student. After that, before the senior student could answer, Stan suddenly raised his hand and slapped the senior student on his face.
Shocked, the senior student said angrily, “How dare you hit me in the academy?!”
Slap!
It was another slap.
Stan coldly said, “So what if I hit you? How dare you intervene with the conflict of the East Flower Sect? Isn’t it just points? I, Stan Cooley, have plenty of points to spare. If you whine again, I’ll hit you once every time I see you.”
Alex was stunned and asked the senior student, “What did he mean? You can simply beat up people as long as you have points?”
The senior student nodded. “It’s one of the rules in the Flying Eagles Academy. As long as no one is killed or crippled, a thousand points can offset the punishment caused by a private fight.”
“There’s such a thing?!”
Alex was in disbelief.
But on second thought, he kind of understood it.
The Flying Eagles Academy was reserved for the ancient battlefields and the students were prepared to kill the enemies on the battlefield in the future. The most indispensable trait was righteousness and valor. If the academy was too well protected, the students would turn out like pampered brats. How would they kill the enemies on the battlefields?
So, the academy had set such a rule.
However, Alex still thought that such an academy rule was too unreasonable. He did not know which idiot came up with something like that.
At this moment, the senior student who got slapped by Stan did not dare to fight back. His expression turned dull and he felt embarrassed to earn the two Spiritual Demon pills from Alex again. Hence, he gave the pills back to Alex and said, “Bro, I’m sorry but I can’t bring you to the freshmen registration counter. I… Will return these two Spiritual Demon Pills to you. By the way, my name is Flynn Newell, and we’d be in the Elixir department together in the future. You can look for me anytime if there is anything that I can help you with.”
Alex looked at the senior student, but he did not take the Spiritual Demon Pills.
He smiled and said, “What is it that you’re afraid of? He’s just a mad dog. It’d be fine if you just break his legs.”
Flynn trembled in shock as he did not know what to say. Meanwhile, all the onlookers nearby were wide-eyed.
They looked at that freshman as if they were looking at a monster. He just called Stan a mad dog right in front of him. Was he out of his mind?
Alex was not insane. However, the crowd was going insane.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1706
“D*mn it! Who the hell…”
Just when the senior student was about to curse at that person, he looked clearly at the woman standing in front of him all of a sudden. His pupils instantly shrank as he was shocked, such that he nearly peed himself.
With respect, he immediately said, “Instructor, I’m… I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you!”
It turned out that the woman with the veil was the most respectable existence in the Elixir Department, the Fairy Doctor.
The Fairy Doctor stared at that Spiritual Demon Pill, smelled and played with it for a while. Eventually, she put it underneath her veil… Even though her veil had blocked her face, everyone could guess that she licked it with her tongue. The next second, she shockingly asked, “Where did you get this Spiritual Demon Pill from?”
The senior student was puzzled. “Instructor, this… Is this really a Spiritual Demon Pill? It’s a fake Spiritual Demon Pill, right? How could a Spiritual Demon Pill look like that?”
The Fairy Doctor glared at him. “I’m asking you, where did you get this from?”
The senior student timidly pointed at Alex “It’s his. He said he concocted it himself.”
The Fairy Doctor immediately looked toward Alex. “Did you really concoct it yourself?”
Alex could tell that her eyes were fiery as if she was really shocked.
He nodded. “Yes.”
The Fairy Doctor started smiling ecstatically. “Great. Which class are you from?”
Alex said, “I just came to report myself today. I don’t know which class I’m in yet.”
The Fairy Doctor was even happier. “Alright, I’ll inform the registrar’s office later that I’m going to accept you as my disciple. When you report yourself later, just mention my name, the Fairy Doctor! I’m a little busy right now, but you should come to the instructor’s office to look for me tomorrow morning at nine o’clock. I’ll be in instructor’s office number three.”
She seemed very busy.
After she finished speaking, she turned to the group of people behind her and greeted them before preparing to leave.
That senior student earlier asked, “Instructor, is that really a Spiritual Demon Pill?”
The Fairy Doctor said, “Of course it is.”
“But why does it look so different from the Spiritual Demon Pills you concocted? This is at least two thirds smaller!”
“Dumb*ss! The concocted Spiritual Demon Pills will naturally have different forms according to the differences in the Spiritual Demon Pills. It’s related to the purity and grade of the Spiritual Demon Pills. This Spiritual Demon Pill has a purity of over eighty percent, which is considered top grade.”
“Huh?”
The crowd immediately remembered that Alex and the other two ate the Spiritual Demon Pills earlier, as if they were eating jelly beans.
Furthermore, it seemed that there were a lot of them inside the bottle that Holly was carrying.
‘D*mn, this guy is truly rich!’
‘No, no, that is not the point.’
‘The point is, the Fairy Doctor actually said she wants him to be her disciple… The concept of accepting disciples and students is completely different. It seems that the Fairy Doctor has never accepted any formal disciples, right?’
‘D*mn, what a lucky bast*rd he is!’
Well, the Fairy Doctor was highly reputable in the Flying Eagles Academy.
The people of the Flying Eagles Academy looked at Alex with envy and jealousy. However, Alex felt strange as he did not come to the Flying Eagles Academy to learn alchemy. Just when he was about to reject her offer, the Fairy Doctor had left with the people.
“Alright then, I just won’t report her name when I settle the admission matter later. I’ll choose what department I want to enter!”
The previous senior student asked, “Do you still mean what you just said? Take you to the registrar’s office for freshman admission and you’ll give me two Demon Spirit Pills?”
Alex calmly replied, “I’ve already given the pills to you. Can we go now?”
“Ah! Yes, yes. Let’s go right away!” The senior student was overjoyed.
The people around them were beating on their own chest remorsefully. They just missed the two Spiritual Demon Pills just like
that.
Meanwhile, more people looked toward Holly’s bag with wolf-like greedy eyes.
At this moment, three people approached Alex from the front in an aggressive manner.
They were two men and a woman who were quite young but their cultivation base was not weak.
“You’ve beaten up our East Flower Sect’s disciple, yet you’re still thinking that you could go to the registrar’s office for freshman admission? Do you think nothing of the East Flower Sect?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1708
Stan could not believe his own ears at all. “Did you just call me a mad dog?”
Alex nodded. “Your ears are great, you didn’t hear it wrongly.”
“Hehe…”
Someone in the crowd could not hold back and burst into laughter.
However, they immediately covered their own mouths. Holly was a bit worried. She used the Voice of a Thousand Miles and said to Alex, “Brother, I don’t think we should take this further, right? The East Flower Sect has quite a strong influence and they aren’t weak as well. When the time comes, things might not end up well.”
Alex waved his hand. “Don’t worry. This is the Flying Eagles Academy, not the East Flower Sect.”
He was ready to cause a big mess today.
‘Jade Benmore, you set me up and forcibly put me in here. Then, you’ll have to clean up the mess that I have made! If I ever get bullied in the academy, wouldn’t it embarrass you?’
“Boy, you’re very arrogant…”
Stan’s expression was cold. When he just said half the sentence, he got interrupted by Alex. “Quit your nonsense. Do you dare to accept my challenge? If you lose, you’ll have to be my dog in the future.”
Buzz!
Stan’s Intermediate-Core Formation aura exploded violently. He was about to explode in anger.
The onlookers nearby were wide-eyed as well. They could not believe a freshman like Alex would be so daring. He had not even settled the freshman admission, yet he already dared to challenge Stan, who was in the top twenty of the combat strength
leaderboard.
He even addressed him as a dog.
This felt like they were dreaming.
Stan’s expression was hideous as he viciously said, “I don’t know where you get your courage from. Since you have a death wish, I’ll fulfil you! I, Stan Cooley, accept your challenge! Besides, let me tell you, a challenge is a life-and-death battle. Don’t blame me if you die!”
Holly frightfully pulled Alex. “Brother, he’s an expert!”
Alex pulled her hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
Yuno smiled as she said, “Don’t worry, little sister. If the descendant of the Rockefellers can’t even handle a piece of trash, that weakling should just bang himself into the wall to kill himself.”
***
Soon, words about the challenge spread through the Flying Eagles Academy.
A freshman who had just reported to the academy challenged the thirteenth strongest guy on the combat strength leaderboard right away. This was unheard of, and it had set a precedent for the Flying Eagles Academy.
More people who heard the news came forth to join in the fun. Not only in the student social circles, but it had spread also in the instructor group chats.
“What? A freshman challenged Stan Cooley?”
“Is it true?”
“There’s such a fierce and powerful person inside this wave of incoming freshmen?”
”It’s true! I heard that the law enforcement team’s senior students were beaten down by him. With just a yell, the East Flower Sect freshmen immediately kneeled down.”
“D*mn! There’s such an awesome freshman?”
“Since I have nothing better to do, I’ll go and take a look. If he’s talented, I’ll keep him as my disciple. You people better not snatch him away from me!”
“Old Zach, you shouldn’t mislead the students. If he’s really talented, he’s better off with me. ”
“Bullsh*t!”
A group of instructors rushed out in a hurry. A top-notch disciple was like winning the lottery. Who wouldn’ t want one?
As for beating up the law enforcement team and other freshmen…
Oh, would the instructors care about it? As long as he had the potential, the instructor would find an excuse for him even if he had killed someone… If he was not capable, he could only be obedient and be a virtuous, all-round student.
The dismissal of a freshman for private fighting was only applicable for mediocre people.

On the duel stage of the Flying Eagles Academy, Alex looked at Stan and calmly said, “You go first!”
Stan said, “You want me to go first?”
Alex nodded. “That’s right. I’m afraid that you won’t have the chance once I make a move.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1709
“Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!”
Below the duel stage was a group of wailing spectators. They were all insanely stimulated by this freshman’s dominance and arrogance. It was unknown where he got the courage to say such reckless words.
Even some people inside the Flying Eagles Academy had opened a private betting board for betting who would win this duel.
A few instructors also rushed over. However, when they saw Alex on the stage, they were dumbfounded.
“He has no cultivation?”
“What’s going on? I can’t actually tell his cultivation level at all. Could it be that he is not a cultivator, but an esper?”
Naturally, there were espers in the Flying Eagles Academy. The combat power of a powerful esper was not weak at all. However, the malleability of espers was very low. There was nothing that could be taught to them. Those students depended on their talents.
Hence, the instructors’ enthusiasm cooled down at once.
The instructors would never accept an esper as their disciple. A few instructors even returned in disappointment and did not even bother to watch the duel anymore.
Stan looked at him coldly and said, “You’re very arrogant. It seems like you have absolute confidence in yourself. How about we make a bet? If you lose, you’ll have to leave your bottle of Spiritual Demon Pills.”
Alex sneered. “Sure! My request remained the same. If you lose, you’ll be my dog!”
“God d*mn it, you’re looking for your own death!” Stan’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
He could no longer take it anymore.
As an Intermediate-Core Formation cultivator and the leading figure of the younger generation in the East Flower Sect, how could he repeatedly suffer this kind of grievance? At that moment, he could not let Alex have the chance to make a move. He wanted to take him down in one shot. Anyway, the bet was already on the table. Even if this guy died on the duel stage, that bottle of Spiritual Demon Pills in his sister’s hand would still belong to him.
“The Returning Blow of the Great Heavens, die!”
He struck with his ultimate skill.
The condensed Core Formation divine power in his both hands turned into a purple killer beam and fiercely struck down Alex’s head. That killer beam was like a boundless mortal purgatory. There would be no escape for whoever was covered by it, and the entire duel stage was under the cover of the killer beam.
Everyone looked surprised.
The people of the East Flower Sect even had a revering look on their faces.
“Gosh! Second Senior’s Divine Power of the Returning Zeal has already reached the Great Heavens stage!”
“Being thirteenth on the combat strength leaderboard isn’t even Second Senior’s limit. If he’s willing to challenge it, it should be no problem for him to be in the top ten.”
“After returning from the quest of searching for the Dragon Dungeon, he planned to challenge the top ten at first. He only rushed over when he heard that the disciples of the East Flower Sect were being bullied. I can’t believe he has used that skill on that freshman before he challenges the top ten.”
Stan’s Returning Blow of the Great Heavens did not immediately slashed Alex, so everyone around could see clearly and even had time to comment on it. It seemed that he wanted Alex to experience what despair was. He wanted to let Alex wail in despair, regret, and eventually lose his life.
Alex looked at that killer beam, but it did not fall anytime soon.
He got impatient.
He raised his hand and pressed a finger down.
“Brahma’s Supreme Touch!”
He noticed that whenever he used this technique, the Chaos Bead in his mind palace would tremble for a moment and the holy bead would also react strangely.
Meanwhile, what the crowd saw was, a golden finger suddenly came pressing down from the sky above the duel stage. That overwhelming finger that had complicated and mysterious runes flowing on it and was accompanied by a Bhuddist chant crushed Stan’s purple killer beam.
Everyone looked at that finger shockingly.
Before anyone could gasp, the finger had crushed Stan’s proud killer move and ruthlessly suppressed it.
Boom!
A loud explosion came from the duel stage.
A fingerprint was pressed out of the entire high platform while Stan was instantly pushed into the grounds, with only his head on the outside.
***
Everything was calm and quiet. The scene went dead silent.
The students were shocked. The instructors were also shocked.
The expression of the people of the East Flower Sect turned pale.
It was too strong!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1710
How could he be a freshman? Even amongst the senior students nearing graduation, not many would not have such combat power, right?
Alex walked up step by step. At some point, the Dragon Bone Sword appeared in his hand. It was gently placed on Stan’s brow. “You lost!”
Stan was bleeding on the corner of his lips with a defeated look. “Y-you’re very strong!”
”Make good of your bet. Try barking like a dog a few times for the audience.”
“…?”
“My sword is going into you if you don’t bark.”
“…Woof! Woof, woof!” .
Stan shed the tears of humiliation. Everyone from the East Flower Sect had tears streaming down their faces.
This was the moment of humiliation for the entire East Flower Sect.
Alex jumped down from the duel stage and waved his hand at Flynn. “We can go now.”
Holly was the first to rush up to Alex and hugged him. “Brother, you’re awesome!”
Alex pinched her nose. “Not long after this, you’ll be like me too!”
At this moment, Alex suddenly felt something. There was a substantive murderous intent sweeping over his body.
‘Who is it?’
Alex looked over sideways, but he could no longer feel the murderous intent. Instead, he saw a woman’s shadow leaving quickly.
At this moment, three men and two women, a total of five instructors rushed through the crowd.
“I’m the instructor of the Fire Element Combat Department, Fletcher Yves. You must be the new student, right? Are you willing to be my disciple? I can give you an additional ten thousand points as a reward if you become my disciple.”
“Wow!”
A gasp of surprise burst in the crowd.
‘How’s this possible? Usually, the disciple will be the one that brings a gift of worship to their master. How can this be another way round?’
‘How envious and jealous!’
However, very soon, a long-haired pretty instructor said, “Fletcher, don’t fight with me. He’s clearly a talent for my Spell Department. What’s the use of following you? So he could get a body of muscles? Student, I’m the instructor for the Spell Department, Kiara Zelly. If you join my department, not only will I give you ten thousand points, but I’ll also give you two spiritual tools, plus ten Hundred Revolutions Pills.”
“Huh? What?”
“Two spiritual tools and ten Hundred Revolution Pills? Gosh! I’m so jealous!”
“Instructor Zelly, I want to be your disciple!”
The crowd let out a burst of wails, and the way they gazed at Alex was as sour as acid sour.
The remaining several instructors also made their offers.
It was almost like a live auction, where the bids were higher than one another.
The highest bidder was even willing to offer a mystical tool!
This had made some people feel even more envious. A mystical tool! That was an Immortal Magical Treasure!
However, Flynn said, “Instructors, this junior of mine has already been selected by the Fairy Doctor instructor, and she has accepted him as her disciple.”
“What? The Fairy Doctor accepted a disciple? What does the Fairy Doctor want him as a disciple? To teach him the alchemy?”
“Are you lying?”
Flynn immediately clarified, “I, a student, don’t dare to deceive you instructors. Go ahead and ask the others present.”
When they found out that the Fairy Doctor had indeed made her move first, the group of instructors beat their own chests. However, it seemed like they were fearful of the Fairy Doctor. Eventually, they could only leave.
When Alex saw the instructors leaving, he laughed silently. Never did he expect that a fight would have such an effect.
Soon, under Flynn’s lead, Alex and the others were at the freshmen registration counter. As this was not university days, the registration counter was not a booth that was simply set up beside the walkway! It was a large building on its own. After entering the building, there was a huge main hall and every department had its own admission office.
Flynn walked Alex toward the Elixir Department.
However, Alex waved his hand. “I’m not joining the Elixir Department.”
Flynn was dumbfounded. “What? You’re not joining the Elixir Department? Where are you going then? You can only join the Elixir Department if you want to be the Fairy Doctor’s disciple!”
Alex said, “Who said I want to be the Fairy Doctor’s disciple?”
When he said that, the spectating Flying Eagles students that followed them were wide-eyed like they had seen a ghost.
