Chapter 75.1 : What Kind of Constitution Is This? Why Does He Run Into Scum Everywhere? (Part 1)
The Martial Arts Academy is not only an institution of higher learning that recruits graduating high school seniors from all over the country every year, but also a training ground for martial arts talents.
If a mentor within the academy takes a liking to a child with potential, they can apply to bring the child back to the academy and cultivate them from a young age with the goal of becoming a martial artist.
Under normal circumstances, these children would enter the mentor's sect while still young, forming a master–disciple relationship.
As a female martial artist, the Chiyang Fairy possesses a seventh-rank cultivation.
Although she is already over forty years old, she has maintained herself extremely well, exuding the charm of a mature woman. Coupled with the fact that there are seven outstanding, beautiful senior sisters under the Chiyang Hall—each with her own remarkable achievements—this made her, up until last year, the most sought-after mentor among all first-year freshmen.
The "choice of mentor" refers to one of the regulations of the Demon Martial Academy.
In order to help freshmen step into the world of martial artists as quickly as possible, the academy requires warriors of fifth rank and above to serve as mentors every year, guiding new students in small groups for one year.
If a student shows exceptional potential, they may later formally become a disciple under that mentor.
What Lu Tianren never expected was that Tang Qingmo had actually entered the Chiyang Hall at the age of six!
"This is impossible! If Tang Qingmo were a disciple of Mentor Chiyang, how could I not know him!"
At present, the Chiyang Fairy has seven female disciples and one male disciple—something known by every student in the academy.
Especially that male disciple, who grew up under the care and doting of the seven senior sisters, making him the envy of all male students.
Yet Lu Tianren had not only never heard of a ninth disciple, he hadn't even known Tang Qingmo's name until the incident involving the real and fake young masters!
"How could this be…!"
His reaction was exactly as Lu Rongsheng had expected. He calmly said, "Tianren, keep reading."
"..."
!!!
Looking at the information in front of him, Lu Tianren was once again shocked.
"T-this… why do the people of the Chiyang Hall resemble the Tang family so much?"
In order to investigate Tang Qingmo's situation more thoroughly, the people dispatched by Lu Rongsheng deliberately questioned long-serving academy staff, as well as mentors and disciples from other sects.
In the end, they discovered that all of them felt deep sympathy for Tang Qingmo's experience…
Tang Qingmo was brought back by the academy headmaster when he was six years old, originally intended to become the headmaster's disciple.
Later, the Chiyang Fairy also took a liking to Tang Qingmo's talent and wanted him as her disciple, but at that time the headmaster refused.
Unfortunately, not long after, mutant beasts launched an invasion, and the academy headmasters from all sides had to go out to resist them. Left with no other choice, Tang Qingmo was allowed to enter the Chiyang Hall.
No one expected that the Chiyang Hall would not cherish this martial arts genius at all!
Not only did they give all cultivation resources to the youngest disciple/junior brother, but they even forbade Tang Qingmo from cultivating at all, in order to prevent his strength from surpassing that person!
At times, other mentors couldn't stand it and wanted to take Tang Qingmo away from the Chiyang Hall. However, to prevent his talent from blossoming, the Chiyang Fairy would always use the excuse that Tang Qingmo was her disciple and refuse to let him leave.
It wasn't that they hadn't tried to seek help from the headmaster, but the headmaster was extremely busy resisting mutant beasts. Tang Qingmo, not wanting to worry him, always said that he was doing well…
In the end, the truth was finally discovered.
Three months ago, Tang Qingmo was once again collectively framed by the people of the Chiyang Hall and beaten to the brink of death!
It just so happened that the headmaster and the academy's Saintess had returned early after exterminating the mutant beasts, and only then did they discover that Tang Qingmo had endured inhuman treatment for twelve years!
Moreover, the Chiyang Hall had demanded that Tang Qingmo confess to crimes against their youngest disciple/junior brother without any evidence at all!
The headmaster was so enraged that he activated his skill and struck the Chiyang Fairy hard with a palm, then deducted the Chiyang Hall's budget and ordered them to immediately uncover the truth!
But the good times didn't last long. In less than three days, mutant beasts invaded once again, forcing the headmaster and the Saintess to leave once more.
Although before leaving, the headmaster entrusted other mentors to look after Tang Qingmo, the Chiyang Fairy used her authority to pressure them and demanded that Tang Qingmo be driven away.
After all, the Chiyang Fairy was a seventh-rank martial artist. Most mentors couldn't defeat her, and even those who could didn't want to risk mutual destruction. In the end, they could only watch as the pitiful Tang Qingmo was forced to leave…
"This is outrageous! Mentor Chiyang and those seven senior sisters are completely outrageous!!"
After finishing the entire document, Lu Tianren was so furious that he nearly slammed the papers in his hands onto the ground.
