Chapter 19: Trouble

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Although these three days were not long, they allowed Jianchen to become familiar with the living environment of the academy. During these three days, Jianchen only attended class on the first day. For the following two days, he did not go to class at all, spending his time either practicing in his room or soaking in the academy's library.

The courses taught by the teachers in the classroom were mainly about how to behave, what to do when encountering dangerous situations, some experiences regarding survival in the wild, and some fighting techniques. These things were of no use to Jianchen at all. In his previous life, he was a seasoned veteran. With his experience, he could have taught those teachers.

As for the combat experience and survival skills in the wild, Jianchen believed he could teach the teachers in the academy. The knowledge about combat that the teachers taught was very superficial, far inferior to his own.

On the second morning, Jianchen put on the school uniform, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and then headed straight for the library. The academy did not strictly manage the students; the daily classes were entirely optional. After all, some students from noble families and powerful clans had received education from their families since childhood, and the knowledge they possessed was not necessarily inferior to that of some teachers in the academy. They merely lacked experience. Therefore, the classes in the academy were almost exclusively for students from commoner backgrounds, and very few noble students attended classes, even if they did, they were mostly from minor noble families.

Upon arriving at the first floor of the library, Jianchen took a few books and sat down at a table in the reading area, engrossed in reading.

The library of the Kagas Academy was very large, with a vast collection of books covering a wide range of topics, far more extensive than the bookshelf in Changyang Manor. Here, Jianchen found many books that were not available in the bookshelf of Changyang Manor, which helped him understand the world better.

Currently, the book in Jianchen's hands was about various magical beasts on the Tianyuan Continent. The types of magical beasts on the Tianyuan Continent were numerous, whether they ran on the ground or flew in the sky, with thousands of species. The book also mentioned that there were many types of magical beasts on the Tianyuan Continent that were not recorded, living deep in the magical beast mountains or far out in the vast sea, places even powerful experts found difficult to reach.

Just as Jianchen was engrossed in reading, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly walked into the library. She was very beautiful, wearing the school uniform, with her long, smooth hair tied into dozens of small braids that fell on her back, making her already beautiful face even more attractive. However, there was always a hint of arrogance in her expression, indicating that she came from a noble family.

This girl was none other than Kadi Qiujuli from the Kadi family.

Kadi Qiujuli walked straight to the bookshelves inside the library, but her eyes casually swept over the students reading in the reading area. When her gaze fell on the back of Jianchen, who was sitting at a table and wearing the school uniform, her steps suddenly paused.

Kadi Qiujuli's eyes fixed on Jianchen's back, her gaze flickering. When she recalled the day a few days ago when Jianchen grabbed one of her legs and threw her off the stage without any dignity, her eyes immediately filled with anger. This was an unforgettable humiliation for her. Her pale, tender face turned red with anger, and she let out a soft hum, no longer in the mood to read, and left the library, muttering to herself, "Changyang Xiangtian, humph, this time I will make you pay!"

Jianchen was completely absorbed in the book, not noticing Kadi Qiujuli's arrival. In the library, no one dared to cause trouble, so Jianchen was not on guard.

After leaving the library, Kadi Qiujuli went straight to find her second brother, Changyang Ke. At that moment, Changyang Ke was practicing martial arts alone in the woods behind the dormitory.

Seeing Kadi Qiujuli, Changyang Ke stopped his movements and smiled, "Third sister, didn't you say you were going to the library? Why are you here?" In Changyang Ke's heart, he still loved his third sister, who was not much younger than him.

Kadi Qiujuli came to Changyang Ke, her face stern, and pouted, "Second brother, didn't you say you would help me teach that Changyang Xiangtian a lesson?"

At the mention of Changyang Xiangtian's name, the smile on Changyang Ke's face gradually disappeared, and his expression turned gloomy. He still harbored resentment over the freshmen martial arts competition a few days ago. With his strength at the Ninth Level of Holy Power, he had been defeated by Changyang Xiangtian, who was at the Eighth Level of Holy Power, and in such a humiliating manner. Especially the kick to his buttocks by Changyang Xiangtian, which he could never forget. That kick was a tremendous humiliation to him.

Kadi Qiujuli, with a face full of anger, said, "Second brother, Changyang Xiangtian is in the library now. Should we go teach him a lesson?"

"Of course, this time I will defeat him honorably. Third sister, let's go." Saying this, Changyang Ke led the way towards the library. In his heart, he refused to admit that Jianchen could defeat him. He believed that his defeat on the stage was due to a momentary lapse and the limitations of the stage, which made him, who was always proud, very不服气 (unwilling to accept it).

Kadi Qiujuli's face showed a hint of joy, "This time, Second brother must teach that Changyang Xiangtian a good lesson." Saying this, Kadi Qiujuli followed Changyang Ke towards the library. Although both of them were at the Ninth Level of Holy Power, Kadi Qiujuli knew very well that she was no match for her second brother. If Changyang Ke could not defeat Changyang Xiangtian, she certainly could not either.

In the library, Jianchen was still engrossed in the book in his hands.

"Hello, may I sit here?" At this moment, a clear voice sounded in Jianchen's ear. Although Jianchen was deeply engrossed in reading, his "spirit" was very strong, and he immediately snapped out of his reading upon hearing the voice.

Hearing the voice, Jianchen instinctively looked up and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen standing opposite him, looking timid. She wore a school uniform, with long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, shining with a black luster. Her bright, large eyes were curiously examining Jianchen, and a faint smile graced her delicate face. The girl was very beautiful, with smooth, tender skin like that of a newborn baby, and a pair of cherry lips that made one want to kiss them. Despite being only seventeen or eighteen, her well-proportioned figure was perfectly outlined by her slightly small school uniform. In her arms, she held a thick book.

Jianchen casually glanced at the girl and then looked around. Only then did he notice that in this reading area, the few dozen tables were already occupied, with no empty seats left.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with a calm gaze, Jianchen said indifferently, "Sit wherever you like!" Then, he returned his attention to the book in his hands, not looking at the girl again, despite her exceptional beauty.

The girl looked at Jianchen, who was engrossed in reading, with a curious expression, and then slowly sat down, saying softly, "Thank you!" Her voice was gentle and melodious, making one feel comfortable.

Jianchen seemed not to hear her, continuing to read the book in his hands, as if the world only existed in the pages of the book.

The girl looked at Jianchen again, her bright eyes showing a hint of curiosity, but she did not say anything. She then placed the book in her arms on the table and slowly flipped through it. Despite her actions, her movements were very graceful and elegant, as if it was a natural part of her.

The library was very quiet, despite the presence of many people, no one made any noise. Everyone was focused on the books in their hands.

At this moment, a man and a woman suddenly appeared at the entrance of the library, none other than Kadi Liang and Kadi Qiujuli.

"Second brother, look, he's there," Kadi Qiujuli said softly, pointing in Jianchen's direction.

Kadi Liang followed Kadi Qiujuli's finger and saw a somewhat familiar back. A look of disdain appeared on his face, and he walked towards Jianchen's table with a proud and arrogant expression, Kadi Qiujuli closely following behind.

"Bang!" When Kadi Liang reached the table where Jianchen was sitting, he slammed his hand heavily on the table, creating a loud noise that echoed through the quiet library.

The sudden noise attracted the attention of all the students reading, their eyes shifting from their books to Jianchen's table. Most of them were watching with a sense of anticipation, while a few frowned.

Jianchen frowned, slowly raised his head, and looked directly at Kadi Liang, his voice slightly heavy, "What are you doing!" There was a hint of anger in his tone.

At this moment, even the girl sitting opposite Jianchen frowned, looking at Kadi Liang with displeasure, her face also showing a hint of anger. The sudden loud noise had startled her, as she had been completely engrossed in her reading.

Kadi Liang looked at Jianchen with disdain, his voice arrogant, "Changyang Xiangtian, I, Kadi Liang, formally challenge you. Do you dare to accept?"

"Challenge!" Jianchen's face showed a hint of disdain, and he lightly hummed, "I'm not interested. Please leave immediately and don't disturb my reading. I don't have time to waste on you!"

Seeing that Jianchen did not take him seriously, Kadi Liang's eyes filled with anger. He stared at Jianchen with a fierce gaze, gritting his teeth, and said, "Do you dare or not!"
