"Bodyguard Lu, I wondered if we can compete, I mean just a quick spar, said Li Yan making it sound as casual as ever.
Whispers could be heard among the students.
"Do you think Senior Li like Xiaoyi, said a student to another.
"I think he is just jealous that Bodyguard Lu is handsome than him, echoed another student.
Lu Yi was in a dilemma. If he agrees and if Li Yan should suggest using magical power, he would be exposed. If he disagree, it will draw suspiciousness.
Lu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he closed his eyes.
"Senior Li, you can spar with others, why my own bodyguard, Xiaoyi asked confused.
"I need to see if his ability can protect you, Li Yan said trying to find a random excuse.
"He is my bodyguard and I am the one he need to protect, why test him on my behalf if am not interested, Xiaoyi insisted.
"Xiaoyi, why did you keep refusing. Could it be that you faked an identity for him, Jingyue asked raising her voice higher than before.
Lu Yi finally opened his eyes and smirked.
"You are Li, right, Lu Yi asked after the long conversation.
"Am a mortal, why don't we compete using martial arts, Lu Yi suggested.
"Okay, Li Yan agreed and move to a spacious space.
Xiaoyi didn't opt against it anymore since Lu Yi already agreed.
"Do you have a sword, Lu Yi asked Xiaoyi who looked blankly.
"Everyone here created their sword using magical powers, I..., Xiaoyi did not have to complete her statement before Lu Yi understand.
Her magical power was not enough to create a sword.
Lu Yi looked around and found a golden handle sword stuck between the trees.
Lu Yi removed it casually making everyone gasped.
"You removed it, Li Yan asked with shock overflowing on his face.
Yes, what's wrong, Lu Yi asked after he noticed everyone's reaction.
As Xiaoyi was about to explain, Fairy Zhen entered the Academy with Zhen Peng Peng.
"Greeting to Teacher Zhen, everyone chorused.
Fairy Zhen made her way to Lu Yi's side and immediately checked his spiritual essence and smiled.
"Are you a student, she asked Lu Yi.
"No, he is my bodyguard, Xiaoyi responded.
"If you have added more effort into cultivating, would you need a bodyguard, Fairy Zhen scolded Xiaoyi making Jingyue chuckle.
"What are you chuckling for, you are still stuck in advanced Level till now and you are mocking your fellow classmates. Shame on you, Said Fairy Zhen.
"Everyone, have your seat, Fairy Zhen responded with absolute grace.
"Today, you guys shall continue to practice what you haven't understand and I will ask questions later on, Fairy Zhen gave instructions and took a seat in front of the students while Lu Yi just sat beside Xiaoyi.
"Are you really a mortal, Xiaoyi asked immediately Lu Yi sat beside her, with doubt in her voice.
"Xiaoyi, have you memorized the basic cultivation, Fairy Zhen asked immediately she spotted Xiaoyi talking to Lu Yi.
"No, I haven't, Xiaoyi responded with her head bowed down.
"If you can't master the basic cultivation today, you will be the only one in the beginner's class because we have decided to separate the class according to levels.
The Yu sisters, Yu Jingqiu and Yu Qingkui arrived late and sat behind Xiaoyi.
Xiaoyi practiced for a while but still couldn't understand it.
"You are practicing it erroneously, Lu Yi said to Xiaoyi after a while.
Lu Yi then demonstrate the way Xiaoyi would practice the cultivation and Xiaoyi actually made it.
"Congratulations, you guys are now in the Advanced Level, Fairy Zhen announced.
"Us, Xiaoyi asked.
"Yes, from now on, Lu Yi is now a student of Pinnacle Academy, Fairy Zhen said and smiled.
