Chapter 985: Old Site Of The Thug Academy

The information about a cultivator’s lifespan made Han Fei’s mind wander. They really knew little about the world of cultivation!

After all, no one had mentioned this information to them before.

Han Fei thought for a moment and asked, “Senior, I have a question. Are there any grudges between the Chu Sect and the Thug Academy?”

Ku Shui shook his head. “I don’t know. After all, things between the strong are usually only known to the strong.”

Han Fei frowned. “What kind of a family is the Chu Sect, and what are they usually up to?”

Ku Shui smiled. “The Chu Sect’s history is relatively short, which is only a few thousand years. They have a special interest in the Thousand Stars Proving Ground because they believe there is a big secret in it.”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Thousand Stars Proving Ground? Did the conflict between the Chu Sect and the Thug Academy originate from the Thousand Stars Proving Ground?

Thinking of the Sea Swallowing Seashell that Old Bai gave him before they left, Han Fei decided to go to the Thousand Stars Proving Ground first when he settled down.

Han Fei nodded. “Senior, please go on.”

Ku Shui paused for a while and then said with a smile, “Except for the big clans, the other islands are around the central island. The weak families may be scattered on any floating island. Except for the big clans, other people’s residences won’t be divided according to their level of strength. The strong may live with the weak. This is normal. And there are many small markets, at least thousands of them. There is a large-scale business center on each floating island… On top of that, there are the seven major sects.”

The five of them listened, like kids listening to stories around the campfire. Sitting next to Le Renkuang, Han Fei had already taken out snacks and fruits while listening intently.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xiaobai rolled her eyes. They were like kids!

Ku Shui was speechless too. Was he some sort of storyteller?

However, he just smiled. After all, they were still kids.

He continued, “The seven major sects are located on the outermost seven floating islands. They’ve slowly turned these floating islands into their own territory. Although there are many ordinary people living on these islands, they’re more or less related to the sects. After all, the people of the sects also need resources. Where do these resources come from? Of course, obtained through various transactions.”

Han Fei interrupted, “Where about our Thug Academy?”

Ku Shui paused, and his face stiffened slightly. He had paid special attention to the Thug Academy after Miss became one of their students.

Ku Shui said, “The Thug Academy has been vacant for many years. Since that war, the site has been deserted… And the plantation seems to have been occupied by several big families. However, you should be able to take it back. There are some people living on the site, but it’s mostly deserted because ordinary people dare not to occupy it due to the influence the Thug Academy used to have.”

Han Fei said, “So you mean, except for the old site, our Thug Academy has nothing left?”

Ku Shui nodded slightly and stroked his long beard. “But since you’ve returned, you should be able to rebuild the academy!”

Somehow, Han Fei felt that something was wrong.

Because the Thousand Star City was too large, Ku Shui couldn’t introduce it to them in detail.

God knew how this island extending tens of thousands of kilometers could be suspended in the air. The ancient strong masters were really powerful!

So it was actually not a big deal that Chun Huangdian moved the sea demon mountain that was as large as 800 kilometers. The ancient masters had even moved an entire island that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Zhang Xuanyu asked, “So, Senior Ku Shui, is our Thug Academy’s old site on one of these 36 floating islands? It’s not on those negligible small islands, right?”

Ku Shui nodded. “Of course not. The Thug Academy was once comparable to the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Jade Fairy Palace. Although the academy doesn’t have many disciples, each of them were exceptional talents.”

The group of them breathed a sigh of relief. Nice! Otherwise, they didn’t know how to claim their own territory!

From the north to the east, they had passed by several floating islands, and also encountered many fishing boats. In the sky, there were birds flying, but the birds didn’t fly too high and were mainly relatively ordinary birds.

Occasionally, some perceptions swept over. That was just because Ku Shui was with them. Otherwise, nobody would have paid attention to them.

They crossed the mountains and rivers and flew all the way to the rising sun.

After half an hour, they arrived on a floating island with mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Flying past the crowds, markets, woodland, and mountains, they finally saw a ruin-like building in the east end.

Regardless of what the Thug Academy was like before, half of the site had been covered by woods now.

The site was overgrown with weeds, some of the buildings had collapsed, and some only had pillars left. And the slabs on the ground and the paths were all destroyed, and the crevices were filled with weeds.

As soon as they saw this academy, they all nodded. This was exactly the style of the Thug Academy. Behind the school were mountains, and in front was a plantation. The only difference was that there were rivers connecting inside and outside the old site of the Thug Academy. At this moment, there were some people sitting on the broken rocks and fishing.

Luo Xiaobai frowned and said, “How come there’s only so little left? The area is even smaller than a hundred kilometers, and the left and right sides have been occupied.”

Le Renkuang pointed to the front and said, “Look, almost all of the plantation has been occupied. There are many houses built on it. The one to the left is not even half the size of the one in the Blue Sea Town!”

Zhang Xuanyu said, “This place is not the gate of the school. The gate is over there.”

The others looked in the direction of Zhang Xuanyu’s finger and saw that there were two super tall stone pillars erected dozens of kilometers away.

Li Luoluo said, “But even if that’s the gate, it’s still not big! The area is 100 kilometers at most, not including the mountains and forests, and about 300 kilometers if the mountains and forests are counted.”

Han Fei said seriously, “It’s at least 500 kilometer including the plantation.”

Ku Shui said with a smile, “To be precise, there should be 800 kilometers. Although there weren’t many people in the Thug Academy before, as you know, the Thug Academy likes the idyllic feeling. So, including the plantation, the area should be more than 800 kilometers.”

The four of Han Fei were silent.

Le Renkuang said slowly, “But there are only 50 kilometers left.”

The corner of Zhang Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. “The entire plantation has been occupied, so has half of the area inside the gate.”

They all looked at Han Fei, including Luo Xiaobai.

When fighting and adventuring, Luo Xiaobai was always calm and witty. However, she had no idea how to claim territory at all. Should they fight their way through or just reason with people?

Han Fei’s face was changing and he said after a long silence, “Let’s go to the old site. Demolish all the buildings that shouldn’t be there, clean up the site and rebuild our school.”

Zhang Xuanyu said in surprise, “Will those people allow us to do that?”

Han Fei grinned. “Don’t panic. Let’s clear up the unoccupied areas first and keep moving. Demolish those unauthorized buildings along the way until a peak-level Law Enforcer shows up.”

Le Renkuang tremmered, “What if a peak-level Law Enforcer does show up?”

Han Fei sneered. “We fight.”

Zhang Xuanyu’s eyes widened. “Who will fight him?”

Han Fei looked at Ku Shui and grinned. “Senior Ku Shui.”

Ku Shui: “…”

But in fact, Ku Shui didn’t mind. Han Fei said this because he didn’t treat him as an outsider. Besides, because of Luo Xiaobai, Ku Shui wouldn’t refuse to help them.

But he would only come forward if necessary.

Luo Xiaobai had no problem with it. After all, the Thug Academy was her school.

Li Luoluo said, “What if an Explorer comes?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “No, Explorers won’t reduce themselves to come to fight us.”

Han Fei suddenly looked at Li Luoluo. “Li Luoluo, if you want to join our school, you’ll be our Junior Sister.”

Li Luoluo protested, “Why? Can’t I just be a part-time teacher? I am the only Law Enforcer among you!”

Zhang Xuanyu smiled. “As long as you don’t become Li Kuang. Luoluo, I agree with you wanting to be a teacher.”

Luo Xiaobai was pondering. Now the power of the Thug Academy was too weak. They did need teachers because they would enroll students soon.

Le Renkuang had no objection. As long as there was enough food, he would be fine.

Han Fei nodded. “Okay, then you are the first part-time teacher in our school. Now, please clean up the site with us, Miss Li.”

Li Luoluo: “…”

When they landed on the ground, they were all shocked. The battle marks on this ground were too obvious. Some places were full of bumps and hollows; in some places, the slabs were broken; in some places, there were residual sword marks and knife lights, which hadn’t disappeared even after 38 years.

It showed that the battle that took place at the Thug Academy was even more terrifying than what they had imagined.

With a thought from Han Fei, Nine Tails rolled out.

Han Fei instructed, “Xiaobai, can you be responsible for clearing the plants? Kuangkuang, cut trees, Zhang Xuanyu, quarry stones, and Li Luoluo, manipulate the insects to turn the soil… Nine Tails, demolish the buildings, all of them…”

Li Luoluo asked, “What about you?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “I’m going to drive those people away…”
