Chapter 125: A Bookworm’s Blowout Scares Other Bookworms
Wang Qi had every reason to blow a gasket at the mention of Ai Dinglan or when he noticed Geng Peng.
On the day Arts Archive’s first floor opened up, Wang Qi took it upon himself to get the first pick by defeating a Foundation Establishment teaching assistant.
Coincidence or not, it just so happened that Geng Peng was on Arts Archive guard duty at that time to handle new challenge requests.
Li Ziye’s situation earned this man’s animosity. The dislike wouldn’t affect his stance, uncaring if Wang Qi got it good, while perking up when he slipped. This kind of attitude led to sending the frequent headache Wang Qi’s way.
When he fought with Wang Qi, Geng Peng would take Myriad Arts Sect’s slogan of one art to break them all to the extreme. When Wang Qi raised his hand, he would twist it hard to make the ripple miss. Wang Qi raised a leg and he tripped him as he put it down. The first challenge had Wang Qi feeling suffocated, unable to give his all.
To make it worse, Geng Peng’s action was well within rights. He predicted Wang Qi’s action through calculations. While true, that calculations were part of a modern cultivator’s strength, there was no standard that labeled mathematical knowledge under skills and arts.
While the first challenge had him sullen, the next one made him blowout.
After Geng Peng beat him, Wang Qi rested for a few minutes and challenged again.
Ai Dinglan was the one to answer his demand. Wang Qi felt confident in their familiarity, smiling towards her. Ai Dinglan replied in kind, improving his mood.
