Chapter 171 - Decision
Deep within the Magi Palace, was a forbidden area, which no one except the elders knew about.
There were countless stars shining splendidly in the void; the thick and powerful power of the stars were darting and spreading without being restrained. Now and then, two streams of star power, each with different natural quality, would bump against each other, causing a loud, resonating, bell-ringing-like bang to be released that resounded throughout the void.
Tens of black jade boards were floating in the void, each were a zhang wide and a foot thick, and were glowing with a crystal-like lustre; on the surface of these black jade boards all the knowledge that the Magi Palace had gathered since it had been built, were engraved with sesame-size words.
Hundreds of elderly men, who were wearing flax long gowns, and had wrinkled faces, were sitting on those black jade boards with their legs crossed. Those jade boards were rising and falling, following the movements of the star power steams. Only a few jade boards in the middle, which were releasing a great sense of powers, were staying perfectly still.
Si Wen Ming sat on a black jade board in the middle with his waist straightened, and repeated every word that had been said by Ji Hao earlier.
“Ji Hao said that he wants to be the most powerful Magus,” said Si Wen Ming with a resonating voice, and his hands put on his knees. “He said that the most powerful means that he will be the best in medicine making, spell symbol drawing, weapons forging, magus treasures making, and all the other subjects like magic curses, communicating with gods and driving out evil spirits.”
“Therefore, he wants to study in as many subjects as he can, he…”
Si Wen Ming’s words were interrupted by an elderly man, who was wearing a black long gown, had a long beard, and his whole body wrapped in water-like light. Inside the pupils of the elderly man, muddy waves of water seemed to have been rotating, and slight ocean wave sounds were coming from his eyes. The elderly man interrupted Si Wen Ming’s speech with a frosty voice, “Unscrupulous! Ignorant kid! Does he know that the classics stored in our Magi Palace are all-inclusive? From the ancient ages to present days, seventy to eighty percent of all the knowledge that has been discovered or learned by all the clans in the world are gathered here, in the Magi Palace!”
Slapping hard on the board that he had been sitting on, the elderly man’s pupils then spurted out two zhang long streams of cold light, while he continued harshly, “He is no one but a young kid from the Southern Wasteland, how dare he talk like that?! He has an exaggerated opinion of his own abilities!”
Tens of zhang away, another elderly man, who had been sitting on another black jade board, with water-like lights rising around him and also wearing a black long gown, let out a sigh slowly and said, “Ha, such an ignorant little kid. Even we have each been only concentrating on one subject and learned that every subject was so extensive and profound that we can’t possibly achieve the perfection of our own chosen subjects even at the end of our lives. How dare that little kid brag like this?”
This elderly man then crossed his hand on his abdomen, then slowly continued, “Such a presumptuous kid, he could cause us many troubles if we continue to keep him here in the Magi Palace. I suggest that we kick him out.”
Wulong Yao, sitting on a black jade board that was floating not far away from the two elderly men, let out a cold smile, looked at the two elderly men and said, “You two shameless things, I assume, the real reason why you are holding such a prejudice to this little kid and are trying to give him a hard time, is that Ji Hao has almost wiped out the entire Water Ape Clan back in the Southern Wasteland, isn’t it? Why don’t you take a look at yourselves, see how old you are? You are old enough that half of your bodies are standing in your graves, and you could probably die tomorrow morning! How could old things like you insidiously attempt to hurt a little kid? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Slapping the black jade he was sitting on, Wulong Yao continued with the cold smile remaining on his face, “Ji Hao is a good kid, I can’t tell much about other subjects, but judging only from what he got on medicine making, he is especially talented, to the point that I cannot estimate his potential.”
The two elderly men with black gowns glanced at each other, then the one who talked at first responded with a scornful smile, “Wulong Yao, we were only talking about the facts, you don’t need to say those meaningless words. He is no one but a little kid, how could we purposely give him a hard time? You are seeing him way too highly while over downgrading us.”
With a deep gasp the elderly man then continued in a frosty voice, “I know that you were friends with Ji Hao’s ancestors, but this shouldn’t be the reason for you to blindly support him. You said that he is especially talented, could you tell us, what kind of marvelous things has he done that made you say such things?”
