The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1123

(Unedited)

…

An old man wearing a dark blue robe walks down the stairs from their left.

Xin Ja and Tung Jo were a bit surprised to see the old man. This is true especially to Xin Ja as he did not even detect the presence of the old man how much more when he has already walked towards them from the stairs.

"An expert… he might be at the level of my father or above…" Xin Ja thought while looking at the old man warily.

"Hmm… Are you that young lad named Xin Ja? The small but spirited little lad." The old man said with an amiable smile.

As he observes the small young man before him he is more pleased with what he is seeing. The young lad might only be a 1st level Ki fighter, but he is an expert in alchemy and runes… plus his combat prowess is not that low either.

"Yes… And… and who… who might teacher be?" Xin Ja replied feeling a bit awkward as he is stuttered while asking the old man\'s name.

"Hehe… I\'m just a friendly old man… Do not be alarmed. Hmm… I think they are already looking for you two… Come here… follow me." The old man said urging for Xin Ja and Tung Jo to follow.

The three then walk up the stairs and then to a wall. The old man pointed his finger at the wall and the wall suddenly opens.

They then walk through a corridor and then to a beautifully decorated office.

When the three enter the office, Xin Ja was a bit surprised at the amount of chaotic Ki in the air along with the pure Ki. He could not help but take a deep breath.

In just one breath, he could already feel the strange and powerful feeling in his body. It was as if his body is being nourished by a strange tonic that is making him stronger.

In contrary to his reaction, the old man and Tung Jo did not do anything. Tung Jo even closes his mouth so that he would not inhale the air in the room.

The old man suddenly waves his hand and a gust of air began blowing everything away cleaning the air inside.

Xin Ja was a bit disappointed because he has not even started absorbing the chaotic Ki fully. But he could just acquiesce as he did not want to appear weird.

"You two take a seat…" the old man gestured for them to sit on the long sofa.

The old man then walks out of the door in the room.

"I think… I think we just met the principal of Ogden Academy…" Tung Jo said with a wry smile.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback too. He did say that he is going to do something to that captain and those students, right? Will he be punished for that?

He began to think of what he said and fear began to dwell in his heart.

It did not take long before the old man return to the room.

"Ahhh… Sorry for that… Well, anyway… I guess you already know who I am, for now, right?" the old man said as he sits down on his seat behind the large desk.

"We… We are sorry for the trouble that we have caused Principal Rao…" Tung Jo said with a lowered head.

"Nonono… I think I should be the one apologizing. You enter the academy with the aim to learn and develop your skills… What you have experienced is something that should not happen in this academy…" he said then shifted his gaze to Xin Ja.

"Young lad… Your animosity and killing intent are very dense… I hope that you would try to restrain yourself from killing anyone… especially in school…"

Xin Ja did not say anything as he was in deep thought. He is trying to think of the goal of the principal why he is saying such words towards him?

"I will… as long as I am not provoked…" Xin Ja replied.

"Sigh… You are still young. You should be making more friends than enemies…" Principal Rao advised.

Xin Ja did not reply and just nodded his head.

Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.

"Come in!" Principal Rao called.

The door opens and a couple of people enter the room. When those people enter, they immediately noticed two figures sitting on the couch.

"Principal… this…" Captain Gong Xijong immediately wanted to say something but the principal gestured for him to stop.

"All of you sit down…"

With the command from the principal, everyone did not have a choice but to take their seat at the opposite side of Xin Ja and Tung Jo.

"I have called for both parties in here to end this farce… I have been a bit tolerant to the happening in the academy and have not intervened… but unless someone stops. Tragedy would surely occur…" the principal said with a stern gaze while looking at the large group who are with the captain.

"I know who started this first… I know and you know that if you continue doing such actions… there would always be consequences… Do you understand?" the principal said with a stern tone.

"Yes, sir!" everyone said in unison some are even reluctant to say anything.

Xin Ja is looking at the red and yellow carpet color on the ground. But his senses are active and his guard is still up.

"This is just a warning… If this happens again, do not bother to come back to the academy… Oh… No… I think you cannot go back to the academy anymore at that time… because you\'ll be… a corpse…" the principal said in an amiable tone but at the end, his aura suppresses everyone in the room.

When the teachers and students in the room felt that suffocating pressure they already knew that the principal is very serious. Every one of them could not help but shiver in fear.

"Everyone can go except for the two teachers…" the principal said.

After Xin Ja and the rest walks out.

The principal confronted the two who were left inside the room.

"What do you think you\'re doing… Captain Gong?" the principal asked with a deep frown on his face.

"This… principal… this is only a common fight against students… plus that student named Xin Ja uses a sinister poison to hurt the students… I…"

"Shut up!"

"I was a friend of your father… the reason I wanted to intervene is that I did not want my friend to lose the life of his son in my own school…"

When Captain Gong heard this, he showed a confused expression on his face. How could he lose his life?

He is a soldier, he was trained by the kingdom and has been to war. He knew fighting more than these whelps who may not have taken any life before.

"I will write to your father what you have been doing in my academy… The reason for this is because I did not want him to think that I have not warned you… Your life and death will now depend on how you from now on…" the principal said with a serious expression.

…

Meanwhile, outside the office, two groups of students are looking at each other. The larger group has blocked the two while glaring at them.

"My face is still hurting and my throat burning!… I will have my revenge no matter what!" shouted one of the students opposite Xin Ja and Tung Jo.

"Yeah… I\'m going to beat you so bad… I think I have to cripple you two. That is the only way to appease my anger…"

"Just kill them…"

"Stop! You fools… the principal has already warned us… Are you stupid?" someone berated.

Xin Ja shook his head then patted Tung Jo\'s shoulder.

The two walk to the side. But someone blocked their path.

Xin Ja suddenly takes out a vial of potion from his sleeves.

When the group saw this they immediately take a step back.

"I wonder how it would feel if your skin falls off your bones…" he said with a sneer on his face.

"Haha… I don\'t think you\'re crazy enough to make yourself fall for our own trap!" shouted a student.

"I\'m not… that is why we already took the antidote before this…" Xin Ja replied with a sinister smirk.

Upon seeing this, everyone took another step back.

Xin Ja casually walks away with Tung Jo in tow.

"That crazy bastard… How many poisonous potions does that crazy bastard have? Is he a poison master?"

"No… I think he is not… The effect of these potions is different from poison." One of them said.

"Then what is he?"

"He\'s a freak… That\'s what he is… I swear… I will beat that guy one of these days…"

…

Xin Ja walks to his class as if nothing happened after sending Tung Jo to the runemaster campus.

On his way, he was suddenly blocked by a tall and beautiful figure. Xin Ja was a bit surprised but then he showed a serious expression on his face.

Though he could not deny the fact that the young woman is truly a beauty, he still could not show his fascination in his face.

Plus he could feel that this woman needed something from him.

What it was… he did not know.
