Chapter 52 Bad NewsTolly quickly grabbed the pen River offered to him and jotted down all the answers on his test papers. Within half an hour, he got his job done.“Good,” River said gladly, looking at the neat writing on the papers, “Now, I’m going to tell you something about the cultivation test three days later.”Tolly nodded and leaned forward. He looked as though he was going to be all ears.“The cultivation test will be divided into two parts. The first part will be held at the level one hunting ground. Every student has to hunt down one animal on the Saircraft. I think you are quite familiar with it. I hope you won’t be dragged off as you were last time,” said River, grinning at Tolly.Tolly gave him an awkward smile, but he said confidently,“I promise I won’t this time.”“Great! The second part of the test is about spirit heritage. This part is easy because we just need to know every student’s talent for cultivation.” River said again.“But I’m not sure whether my level of s
After Tolly went out of the VIP room, he walked straight toward the school building. He decided to go to the classroom to say goodbye to Luna. When walking in the corridor outside the classroom, he heard someone talking loudly, “Tolly has been involved in the assassination on Bridge Street. I’ve heard Ms. Harmsworth is sending him to prison. I suppose we’ll never see him again.” “He deserves it. He thinks he’s not a waste of space since he’s broken through to level four as an alchemist, but in my eyes, he has always been a piece of junk. I’m glad we don’t need to see him again.” “What annoys me most is that he always has a chance to be close to the goddess in my dream Sally. How can Sally a prodigy live with a tragedy like Tolly, that useless garbage? He wouldn’t be peeking at Sally in the shower, wouldn’t he?” “What are you guys talking about? They’re just good friends. That’s all!” Luna defended. “How do you know he won’t do anything else? Are you living with them? Do you think
However, deep down, Mr. Tony Rhodes thought to himself, “How could it possible to ask me to forgive this bastard? He dared to slap my nephew in the face before me. I’ll have to get him to pay a big price for it.” He looked at Luna and Peggy, and then said with a hypocritical smile, “You two are right. As long as he can apologize to me, I’ll definitely forgive him. But you know, it seems Tolly’s really tired and wants to go home for a break, why not give him a chance?” And then he smiled and winked at his nephew once again, suggesting this time he was surely going to teach the little punk a lesson. “Don’t worry, Luna and Peggy. You should have confidence in me. Just wait and see. A fantastic play is on! Mr. Tony Rhodes, let’s begin!” “Okay,” Mr. Tony Rhodes replied quickly. And then he quickly jotted down the most difficult question on the blackboard. There were so many peculiar mathematical symbols that few students could read the question. In a minute, different voices could b
“Are you pleased now?” Mr. Tony Rhodes said, glaring at Tolly furiously.Kneeling down in front of Tolly, Ian also cast a vicious look at him. It looked like his eyes were going to spurt out a fire to burn him into ashes.“No, there’s more to come yet.” Tolly sneered, “who can help me with the teacher’s desk?”“Me…” a strong boy with six packs and abs stood up instantly and walked to the front of the classroom.He quickly lifted the heavy teacher’s desk with one of his strong hands and placed it in front of Mr. Tony Rhodes and Ian.“What do you want?” Mr. Tony Rhodes and Ian spoke in unison, with terrors in their eyes.“This is your dinner,” Tolly chuckled while pointing to the teacher’s desk, “Enjoy your meal.”Instantly, Mr. Tony Rhodes’s face turned into a deathly pale. He then gave an embarrassed look at Ms. Harmsworth and begged,“Well, Ms. Harmsworth, Tolly’s trying to vandalize the public facilities. You can’t allow him to do so.”However, Ms. Harmsworth had no intention to hel
“What do you want from me?” Tolly sat frozen with fear on his bed in his dream.“I’ll know soon.” said the old man with a creepy smile.The old man’s face was partly hidden by his longish, wild, tangled beard. He quickly sat behind Tolly and placed his withered hands full of thick hard callous on the back of Tolly.“Stop! Don’t touch me!” Tolly yelled.“Shut up if you don’t want to be caught by Ki deviation and succumb to your own Internal Demons.”Tolly didn’t dare to yell again and kept silent. The silence reigned between them for about twenty or thirty minutes.Tolly felt nothing but a stream of warm vital energy coming straight into his own body from the old man’s hands. The stream of vital energy wound its way to every corner of his body. Soon, Tolly felt refreshed and revigorated.However, great beads of perspiration stood out on the forehead of the old man. He was concentrating on transmitting his own vital energy into Tolly’s body.Tolly wondered why the Yellow-headed Master w
“I’ll be the greatest cultivator in this world!” Tolly shouted in his courtyard while looking up into the sky.Then he ran a few laps in his yard excitedly. If there had been anyone else there, he would surely have been considered to be mad by others.After a few moments, he gradually calmed himself down. He began to think about what he should do next. There were two voices in his mind.‘Go back to your house to cultivate until you break through into a higher level!’ one of the voices rang out in his mind.‘Take a break, Tolly. You know, you’ve already got a level-nine spirit heritage. That means you have an Invincible-level talent for cultivation. You’re truly a genius now.’ the other voice argued.However, Tolly was not convinced by either of the voices because he suddenly recalled the words told by the Yellow-headed Master. As a matter of fact, the words kept echoing in his mind,‘You know, you’d better keep a low profile before you rise to power and become much stronger. Go find s
Suddenly, he remembered the piece of music made by the raindrops hitting on the canopy.‘Will the box want to hear the music made by the wind and the rain?’ Tolly thought to himself, ‘Why not have a try since there’s nothing to lose?’Tolly was not only a good actor but a great singer as well. At the very beginning, he hummed the tune of that pop song called ‘raise me up’ in a low voice.However, nothing happened.Hence, he decided to sing the song loudly. When he finished the verse part of the song, still nothing happened. However, as he began to sing the chorus part, the wooden box at the bottom of the mural suddenly began to gyrate to the song.It was acting like a skilled dancer, skidding here and there.While Tolly was putting every ounce of himself to sing the chorus,‘You raise me up…’With a crisp sound, the wooden box opened itself unexpectedly. A green pearl is raising itself up into the sky, emitting dazzling green light.It also moved up and down to the singing. Though stu
The two punches met halfway, making both of them step back a few feet.“Who the hell are you?” Tolly shouted, “you’re breaking and entering.”“So, what are you going to do with me?” the young man said rudely while spreading a sneer over his face.He walked slowly towards a wooden hair and sat down on it. He was so heavy that it looked like the chair was going to collapse at any second.“Actually, I don’t care who you are. Kneel down before me and apologize to me. And then roll out before it’s too late,” said Tolly, looking furious at the nerve of the young man.“It’s you that should kneel down and kowtow three times before me, or I’ll tear down your little house.” the young man sneered again while letting out a cold harrumph,“Of course, if you don’t want me to do that, just hand out all your money and then I won’t be hard on you."“So, you are coming here for protection money, aren’t you?” said Tolly uncertainly.“In the manner of speaking, yes, I am,’ said the young man arrogantly w
