âYes, Marshal!â One of the guards stepped forward and confirmed . âAnd that woman said she wanted to revoke Young Masterâs registration qualification!â
âRevoke Young Masterâs qualification?â Marshal Haotianâs anger soared and pierced the sky .
âThatâs right Marshal; that woman also said to detain the Young Master andâŚâ The guard hesitated when he reached this part .
âAnd what after that? Spit it out!â Marshal Haotian roared .
âYes, Marshalâ that woman said to first detain Young Master and then summon you to go and collect him back before publicly apologizing to the Academy!â The guards quickly revealed everything in a shaky voice .
At that time, Xiong Meiqi said to detain Huang Xiaolong and let his familyâs elders to come and bring him back after publicly apologizing to the Academy . But, what Xiong Meiqi wasnât aware was that Huang Xiaolongâs âelderâ happens to be Marshal Haotian .
âWhat?!â Marshal Haotian stood up in anger, the hard-as-rock side stool turning into scattered powder .
âAlso, the man wanted Fei Hou Senior to be beheaded to deter the public!â The other guard added .
Behead Junior Brother to deter the public?
Marshal Haotianâs fury reached a point of no return and shouted, âRelay this Marshalâs order: ten infantry brigades to pressure Cosmic Star Academy!â
Ten infantry brigades, thatâs one hundred thousand soldiers!
One hundred thousand soldiers to pressure Cosmic Star Academy!
This greatly shocked the two guards .
âWhy arenât you moving quickly?!â Seeing the two of them was still standing in the room, Marshal Haotian yelled aloud .
âYes, yes Marshal!â The two guards ran out to relay the order in a frantic .
âIronclaw Condor!â after the two left, Marshal Haotian called loudly towards the sky above and a huge gray condor appeared above the Marshal Mansion and a loud sharp cry rang out several li away .
All the mansionâs guards and servants looked up at the condorâs figure and each of their expression changed: something big was going to happen! Only for grave and serious matters would the Marshal call the Ironclaw Condor .
âAll Marshal Mansionâs guards Eighth Order and above, gather at the square!â Then, everyone in the mansion heard Marshal Haotianâs booming voice .
âYes Marshal!â
At the same moment, silhouettes flashed and disappeared from different corners of the mansion, heading to the square in the Marshal Mansion .
A pre-war like tension spread throughout the mansion .
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou who were in their own yard also heard Haotianâs voice .
âLetâs go and take a look . â Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou arrived at the square and saw Marshal who was ready to lead one hundred thousand soldiers to the Cosmic Star Academy .
In an instant, Huang Xiaolong understood what Marshal Haotian planned to do .
âWait!â
âYoung Master!â seeing Huang Xiaolong in the square, Marshal Haotian leaped off the condor and saluted .
âHaotian, I donât want the matter to become bigger . â said after Huang Xiaolong thought about it for a momentâ if things spiraled out of control, whether for Huang Xiaolong or Marshal Haotian, it wouldnât be a good thing .
He knew that his recommendation letter was given to Haotian by Cosmic Star Academyâs Principal showing their good relation . If Marshal Haotian led such a large infantry to the Academy, it surely would make their friendship awkward and at that time the conflict would be harder to resolve .
Furthermore, they are in the Royal City: such a big movement would harm Marshal Haotianâs reputation .
âYoung Master!â Haotian wanted to say more, but Huang Xiaolong shook his head, saying, âThis matter ends here . â
âThatâs right Senior Brother, since Young Master is alright, forget this issue,â Fei Hou persuaded .
Haotian stood still, saying nothing; he took a deep breath and finally spoke, âYes, Young Master, Haotian obeys!â Subsequently, his right hand waved to disperse the gathered guards, withdrawing his marshal order .
A while later, Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and Haotian were seated in the main hall .
âSovereign, you are the Asuraâs Gate Sovereign, but here in the Luo Tong Kingdom, you were repeatedly placed in dangerâ please punish Subordinate for this sin!â when all three sat down, Haotian suddenly fell to his knees and said those words .
Huang Xiaolong quickly held Haotianâs arms, âHaotian, quickly stand up!â
âRequest Sovereign to punish Subordinateâs crime!â Marshal Haotian remained kneeling on the floor .
Huang Xiaolong sent Fei Hou a helpless look, and Fei Hou followed through saying, âSenior Brother, since Sovereign asked you to stand, then stand up; after all, the fault lies not with you!â
Marshal Haotian hesitated for a second before he finally got up: âThank you Sovereign!â
Asuraâs Gate rules are extremely strict; if it was before, if Huang Xiaolong was injured under his territoryâs jurisdiction, his punishment would leave anyone in fear . Although he might keep his life, however, his martial cultivation would be destroyed .
Of course, Huang Xiaolong wasnât hurt in any way .
Seeing Haotian stand up, Huang Xiaolong asked, âAny news about Elder Yu Ming?â Huang Xiaolong heard Fei Hou mention that their Master went to Mohe Kingdomâs Royal City, so he requested Marshal Haotian to search for Yu Mingâs news .
âReplying Young Master, there is yet any news of Master; but Subordinate fears Master has already left the Mohe Kingdomâs Royal City . â Haotian replied with respect .
Huang Xiaolong felt a trace of disappointment, but he had expected this result . Yu Ming went to Mohe Kingdom for some matters so after three years, it is hardly possible for him to be there still .
His Master, Ren Wokuang, left something for him in the Asuraâs Gate headquarters, and it was something vital to Huang Xiaologâs Asura Tactics cultivation . So, he wanted to ask Yu Ming where the headquarterâs location was .
Even Marshal Haotian doesnât know its location .
A while later, Huang Xiaolong went back to his courtyard from the main hall .
When he stepped into the yard, a small figure rushed into his arms .
âLittle guy, where did you run off to these  past few days?â Huang Xiaolong  chuckled as he inquired, not dodging the figure .
Of course, this little figure is the little violet monkey .
The past few days Huang Xiaolong didnât see a glimpse of the little guy anywhere .
âZhi zhi zhi!â Perched on Huang Xiaolongâs shoulder, the little violet monkey started to gesture while squeaking .
Watching the little monkey, Huang Xiaolong laughed to himselfâ probably in this world, only he can tell what it is trying to say . In this Martial Spirit World, beast cultivators needed to break through into the Xiantian realm before they can speak in the human language . Without a doubt, this little monkey has many days ahead of him before it can speak, so it can only gesture to communicate with him .
Afterwards, Huang Xiaolong let the little violet monkey play by himself while he walked into the room and took out the cold jade bed and started to practice; since he advanced to the Sixth Order, the speed he absorbed the netherworldâs spiritual aura had increased again .
The twin dragon martial spirits behind him had grown a circumference bigger, the Black Dragonâs scales shone and the Blue Dragonâs gleamed a royal blue .
Three days soon arrived .
During these past three days, other than practicing Huang Xiaolong was able to stabilize his new strength . His battle qi laced with the netherworldâs spiritual aura which ran smoothly in his meridians .
âFinally, first day of school . â Huang Xiaolong walked out from his room, the morning sunlight warming his body .
First day of Academy!
Not long after, Huang Xiaolong left the Marshal Mansion with Fei Hou and four guards, heading in the direction of Cosmic Star Academy . Marshal Haotian added two more guards to protect Huang Xiaolong after the previous incident .
Soon, the six of them reached the Academyâs gates .
Since the Academy had started, Fei Hou and the four guards accompanied Huang Xiaolong until they reached the front gates .
Huang Xiaolong passed through the gates alone and after inquiring from the passing teachers and students, he walked towards where his class was .
