Chapter 3: Breaking Up

Upon arriving in front of the Cryptid Academy, Cheng Tian immediately came upon a magnificent large building surrounded by well-wooded areas.

There were small fountains and artificial lakes spread out symmetrically, with some statues of notable figures from this institution and city.

In addition, several students could already be seen walking around this early morning in Soutuo City.

And seeing that place across the street, Cheng Tian sighed and raised his head, heading towards the entrance with the necessary courage to face the problems of this place.

So, he soon passed through the main entrance gate of the academy and followed to the dormitory under the gaze of some students, sometimes hearing rude comments.

"Hey! Hey! Isn't that Cheng Tian?" A classmate of Cheng Tian said this as he saw that young man from a distance, speaking in a whispering tone to his friends.

"Tsk!"

"I heard he's going to be expelled, and now he just missed three days of school..."

"That guy doesn't want anything with life, huh?"

"Qi Yan, don't talk so loud. He might hear you!"

"So what? What can a mere Spirit Grand Master do against me?" That fellow said arrogantly.

At the same time, on one side of that large building, a young man of the same age as Cheng Tian, with blond hair and noble clothes, looked at that guy with hatred on his face.

"How is this possible? I sent 2 Spirit Elders to deal with him! How did he return alive?" He brandished at the man next to him, someone dressed in the uniform of this academy but who, in fact, was only there to serve him.

"Young master, I don't know what happened, but it is possible that Cheng Tian escaped alive because those two are already dead."

"What? How? There's no way he could have done that! He's trash!"

"Hmm, the young master is right. But in the Douluo Continent, anything is possible. Maybe a spirit beast got in their way and gave this little worm a chance during their pursuit."

"Or even other spirit masters may have gotten involved with our men and eliminated them. Anyway, anything is possible."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the men we sent have not returned and are probably dead. But, as for him, he is alive and well. That's the reality!"

That blond young man, Mo Jiayi, then clenched his fists tightly, looking with hatred at the person preventing him from being with the woman of his dreams. "If those two have failed, then let's go with the other plan."

"The academy already wants to expel him, so let's give them a good reason to stop hesitating!"

"Yes, young master!"

"After our plans succeed, I want you to eliminate that worm personally..."

...

Meanwhile, Cheng Tian arrived at his room in the local dormitory, a place he shared with his good roommate, Mo Jiayi...

Upon entering there, he noticed that everything was just as his predecessor had left it, his side of the room all organized, something characteristic of that person.

But before he could become emotional with some memories of his predecessor, someone knocked on his room door, calling him. "Cheng Tian! Cheng Tian!"

"Oh? That voice..."

"Gong Xiu!" He rushed toward the door, promptly welcoming his girlfriend, who was calling him.

"Cheng Tian..." A young woman of the same age as him, with red hair, and a well-proportioned body for her 1.55 meters tall, pretty, looked him up and down.

She then focused on his black eyes and said in an irritated tone. "Cheng Tian, what have you been doing for the past three days? Where have you been? Don't you know that the academy is already a hair away from expelling you? Are you trying to force the situation?"

He hesitated for a second and then tried to explain himself. "I was..."

"You know what, I don't want to hear your excuses!" She walked into that room, heading toward that young man's bed.

After sitting there, she began to make her sermon. "Do you know what I must deal with because of our relationship? Every day I have to listen to my friends talking bad about you, telling me how I'm wasting my time..."

"To make matters worse, even the teachers don't look kindly on you!

"Why don't you try a little harder? OK, your talents are not good, but you could at least show some responsibility, no? "

"But now you disappear for three days and come back looking like a man who cheated on his wife and had to sleep on the street..."

"You don't know what I heard while coming here!" Her face turned red, while the veins in her neck became more noticeable.

"No, it's not like that..."

"It's not like that? You and I were on the same level when we came here and had no problems. But you suddenly started having worse results and even became a burden to our group!"

'That must be because of my three martial souls...' So he thought in his heart, considering that for someone like him, the cultivation level demanded much more energy than for ordinary people.

In any case, he was extremely shocked by the words of that woman, whom his predecessor felt highly passionate about.

'Is that how she treated you, my friend? That's just too much! How could you put up with that?' He clenched his fists as Gong Xiu yelled.

"... Anyway, Cheng Tian, I think you need to get your life together, and I can't go on like this."

"So I'm here to talk to you about our relationship."

His eyebrows drew together tightly after those words were spoken, and he asked. "What do you want?"

She then stood up from that bed and smiled. "Let's open up our relationship. That way, we can meet other people and still maintain a friendly relationship."

"If you work on your problems, then we can return to the way things were before."

Cheng Tian then closed his eyes for a moment, shaking his head and laughing. "Open up our relationship, huh?"

After that, he opened his eyes, showing his Sharingan to that woman as fury surged in his heart.

The earthling Cheng Tian did not care about Gong Xiu. However, the emotions of his predecessor were there. Thus, he could not help but feel deep anger after hearing the words of the person who was supposed to be the love of his life.

In this moment of strong emotions, he could not contain himself and showed her his unique eyes.

'That's...' She felt a shiver run down her spine, but she was still very aware of reality since her boyfriend did nothing.

"So you want to meet other people? To have freedom, right?" He paced back and forth, speaking this quietly.

"That will be good for you too," she said. "Maybe you can find the inner peace you're missing."

"Oh?"

"All right. I'll give you all the freedom you need if it's freedom you want!" He looked at her again. "Making you single again!"

"Uh?"

"Are you breaking up with me?" She smiled at the poor fool in front of her. 'Idiot, I was giving you a chance, the time you could still have by my side. But this is much better!'

'At least I don't have to put up with a loser like you any longer!'

She laughed as she walked towards the door. "Alright, let's end this, haha. I just hope you don't regret it later, Cheng Tian."

"I hope you won't cause any trouble during next week's training, OK? The academy won't change our teams just because we ended our relationship."

"Then I hope you won't be an idiot to cause trouble for the whole group!"

Pa!

The door slammed shut after she left, leaving only the furious Cheng Tian, who was feeling his eyes strengthening at an incredible rate.

Unfortunately for him, that still was not enough for him to awaken the second tomoe.

"Bitch!" He shouted before punching against the wall on his right side.

'That damned woman! I'll make her sorry!'

As he struggled against the wall and a piece of furniture, a handsome, tall, strong, blond young man walked into that place, quickly dodging an old gift from Gong Xiu that Cheng Tian had thrown.

"Oh? Did something happen?" A calm, gentle voice eased Cheng Tian's fit of rage, causing him to look in the direction of his roommate.

"It's nothing. I just had a little setback."

"Oh?"

'Is he talking about that night? Or is it something new?'

'Never mind. I'd better put my plans into action.'

"Cheng Tian, I must talk to you about training next week." He sat down on his bed and looked firmly at the fellow across the room.

"You know how important this test is. The academy will be testing us to assess whether or not we can participate on the replacement team in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"In that way, this training will be crucial for all of us. So, I want to avoid any problems."

"Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament?" Cheng Tian remembered what this was about. He then asked. "What do you want?"

"I want you to stay in the back with Lin Long. That way, we can avoid problems while training against our opponents."

"Can you do that?" He smiled brightly.

"Hmm, I can."

"Very good!"
