The Geared Immortal

Chapter 952

(Unedited)

…

The next day

Shin Jiao attended the opening classes in the academy and was introduced to his new classmates, the curriculum in the school, and also knows the teachers in the academy.

Since he is only at 1st level, he was sent to the beginner's class. Meanwhile, when it comes to alchemy and array, someone seems to have told the school that he is able to create arrays in mid-air. It seems that someone from the faculty saw the fight yesterday.

And so, he was assigned to intermediate array and alchemy classes.

Shin Jiao did not question these arrangements as he is only here to gain experience and also observe.

That afternoon, Shin Jiao began walking to the impoverished neighborhoods of the city. He did not conceal himself but leisurely walks. On his way, he encounters thugs and ruffians but was sent flying by him crying. He also took the things in them which made those people feel helpless.

Soon, he reached the location of Qing's house. From where he stands, he could see soldiers and mages surrounding a dilapidated courtyard while they are shouting profanity and cursing in the air.

The soldiers are hacking the walls of the old house, but their sword seems to hit a stone wall making it ineffective.

Meanwhile, the mages have a look of frustration on their faces as their spells could not even scratch the barrier surrounding the house and its small courtyard.

"It seems that I have to clean up some mess… should I just take this mother and child with me?" Shin Jiao thought while he reveals himself.

Those who noticed him glared at him as they never expected someone to be this brave to face a large number of soldiers and mages.

"I suggest that you all leave this place if you value your lives…" Shin Jiao said with a smile on his handsome face.

"It's him! I want you all to kill him!" shouted one of the young men sitting on a sedan chair with bandages all over his body.

A tall soldier beside him frowns upon looking at Shin Jiao.

"Master, let me bring his head over to you…" the tall man said as a grin appears on his face.

His aura suddenly erupted and the power of a level 48 warrior erupted from his body. The large sword on his back suddenly vanished along with his figure.

When he appears, he is already beside Shin Jiao waving his large sword.

Seeing that his target is still not moving a large grin appears on his ugly smug-looking face. He thought that the young man in front of him is so weak that he is unable to see his powerful sword.

When the sword is about 2 inches from hitting Shin Jiao's neck, two soft fingers appear and pinch the tip of the blade.

The man showed astonishment in his eyes, but his body suddenly shook as the counterforce made his hands tremble in pain.

Crack!

The sound of metal breaking could be heard. And this made the soldiers that are watching this scene felt cold sweat covering their backs.

Shin Jiao did not bother and with a wave of his hand threw that man along with his sword in the air. The man did not let go of his sword and was thrown with it along with the disbelief in his eyes.

"It seems that trash like you should be dealt with… Killing the likes of you people should at least make the citizen of this city feel a bit safe, right?" Shin Jiao said while walking to the group of young masters sitting in their sedans while shaking in fear.

Suddenly an old man holding a black staff appears out of thin air.

"Young man, compassion holds no bound. If you retreat now and let this matter go, the heavens will look kindly upon you…" the old man said with an amiable smile.

"Hmm… What hypocritical words from a hypocritical person. Attacking a house and trying to take someone's life and you just sit there like a holy shit… and you dare say this thing to me?" Shin Jiao said feeling a bit tick off by the old man.

This is because… this old man is actually Grand Magus and a member of the Tower of Light at that.

"You… you dare insult me?" The old man glared at Shin Jiao while shouting in a deep voice.

"I wonder what that old Mao Enosis would say if I told him that his Tower of Light is acting like a prick? Hehe… or Old Tong Liwen… Those two are proud for being neutral and fair…"

When the old Grand Magus heard those words, his heart trembles a bit. Although he is a Grand Magus, he is not as strong as those two people. Mao Enosis likes researching and is not that powerful in spell casting. But that guy has gotten close with a powerful entity as of late, the Mystique Shop. So he dare not challenge his authority in the tower. Plus that Tong Liwen is a well-known battlemage. How could he face against him?

But what baffled the old man is the identity of the young man before him. How could he know those two people?

"Wait a minute… This… Maybe he is just bluffing? Damn… I almost fell in his schemes…" the Grand Magus thought as he glared as Shin Jiao.

He did not hesitate and suddenly waves his hand. With a speed of around 2 seconds, he is already able to cast a level 4 fireball which flew in Shin Jiao's direction.

Suddenly from inside the house on a window, a beautiful young woman suddenly shouted.

"Watch out, Big Brother Si Ji!" Qing cried while showing a worried look in her eyes.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head and smiled as if it was nothing.

With a wave of his hand several words floated in the air and suddenly form a sphere. Shin Jiao felt elated at this point as his comprehension with regards to the array has already improved by leaps and bounds after learning of the Soul Trapping Dimension.

This is because creating such a dimension could not only trap souls but also any elements. And by applying this in creating battle arrays, he could either use it as an attack against elemental spells or even trap his enemies.

Thought the powerful the enemy is the harder they would be trapped inside.

And so when the small black orb appears, it immediately absorbed the 4th level fireball until nothing was left.

Shin Jiao held the glowing crystal ball in his hand and looks at the old man.

"Anything else, old man? Is that it?"

"An... An Array Master..." The old man's beard trembles as anger could be seen on his face.

He suddenly opens his mouth to cast a spell, but then he suddenly saw his opponent disappearing from his spot.

Shin Jiao appears in front of the noble young masters behind the old man.

With a slight smile on his face, he looks at the old man with a jeering expression.

"Your karma… is all mine…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Ka-Boom!

The entire place was covered with a heatwave that enveloped that small area where the young masters are.

A small black cloud rose up in the air.

The old man was very quick to move and was able to dodge through the explosion is near him. As a Grand Magus, his speed is not that simple and very quick.

"How… How did my level 4 fireball spell become this devastating?" the old man muttered with disbelief in his eyes while looking at the chaos on the ground.

Dead soldiers and mages with their scattered body parts are all over the place. Those that survived wailed in pain as they dragged themselves away from the area. However, the young masters sitting on their sedan chairs were blown away that not a single part of their body could be seen. Them, along with the servants guarding them all died.

From the blazing fire, a figure slowly emerges under the gaze of the old man and the beautiful young woman inside the building.

"Big Brother Si Ji…" Qing muttered with happiness in her eyes.

Ever since last night, she has already regarded this person as her benefactor and promised to follow him after taking care of her mother. Since he is studying at the Alto Magus Academy, she decided to work hard and try to enter the academy as a servant of a mage.

However, this incident happened and all of her previous hope almost vanished. Not until she saw that familiar figure that gave her made the hope in her heart came alive once again.

The old man coldly snorted and with a blur, his figure vanished in the air.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, leisurely walks into the house and opens the small gate. The formation did not restrict him as he easily enters the small house.

"Auntie… how are you feeling today…" he greeted with an amiable smile.

The two women inside the small house feel warm inside their hearts.. They knew that they truly meet a benefactor.
