Without realizing it, Ren Zhongyang tugged on Chen Fei’s sleeve, wanting to remind him. However, before he could say a word, the martial arts academy head’s gaze turned toward Ren Zhongyang.

“You, come along!” The martial arts academy head stared at Ren Zhongyang with bulging eyes, like an abyss that made people instinctively want to fall into it.

Ren Zhongyang was about to nod when a sudden shock rippled through his consciousness. His eyes momentarily regained clarity, but it quickly faded away.

“I won’t go!” However, this momentary clarity made Ren Zhongyang realize, and he hurriedly shook his head to refuse. His fear of the martial arts academy was growing stronger.

“You…”

Ren Zhongyang looked at Chen Fei, wanting to continue warning him. However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the martial arts academy head wave his sleeve. Ren Zhongyang instinctively raised his hand to shield himself.

“If you don’t want to learn, then don’t block the entrance. Step aside!” The martial arts academy head coldly commanded. A surge of force pushed Ren Zhongyang back several steps. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Chen Fei already following the martial arts academy head and walking inside.

He could actually refuse, unlike the situation at the medical clinic where he couldn’t. But why did Chen Fei agree?

Ren Zhongyang felt anxious, fearing that Chen Fei wouldn’t return once he went inside.

“Wait for me a moment. I’ll be out in a little while,” Chen Fei turned back and glanced at Ren Zhongyang, smiling as he spoke.

The martial arts academy head heard Chen Fei’s words, and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. To enter his martial arts academy and still think about coming out unharmed, it was simply a case of not knowing the difference between heaven and earth. Since the establishment of his martial arts academy, no one had ever entered and come out safely.

“Be careful!” Ren Zhongyang couldn’t help but sigh as he watched Chen Fei step into the martial arts academy’s gate. The gate promptly slammed shut, cutting off Ren Zhongyang’s view.

Ren Zhongyang was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. That hazy and confused state of mind returned to his consciousness, making even thinking difficult.

Facing the bustling streets of this vast city, Ren Zhongyang didn’t dare to move around freely. He could only huddle in a corner of the martial arts academy’s wall, waiting for Chen Fei to possibly come out.

Inside the martial arts academy, as Chen Fei stepped in and saw the gates close, everyone who was practicing stopped. All of them turned their gaze toward Chen Fei, their eyes devoid of any warmth, only icy coldness.

Walking along with the martial arts academy head to the center of the courtyard, Chen Fei suddenly had a slight change in expression. He turned to look at a corner of the yard, where there lay a dying black rat. It was lying motionless on the ground, with only occasional faint movements. Judging from the situation, it wouldn’t be long before it breathed its last.

As if sensing Chen Fei’s gaze, the rat made a feeble effort to turn its head and looked at Chen Fei. Their eyes met, and for a moment, it was as if they were communicating. Chen Fei was momentarily taken aback, and his consciousness started to churn violently.

At first, he had noticed the rat due to an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, much like when he faced Ren Zhongyang. However, when their eyes met, it triggered a violent upheaval in his consciousness.

The few coins in his pocket began to disappear one by one, and the turbulence in Chen Fei’s consciousness grew faster. In an instant, a sword light pierced out from his consciousness, tearing a gap through the surrounding mist.

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the suppressed memories and wisdom that had been obscured suddenly found release.

Mirror Image Godslayer Sword!

In his consciousness, the Mirror Image Godslayer Sword, nurtured by Chen Fei, suddenly appeared outside the mist, and Chen Fei’s true consciousness completely concealed itself.

The Mirror Image Godslayer Sword, initially fused with the Mirror Image Technique, could temporarily shield the true consciousness from attacks in the consciousness realm.

The mist around them seemed to be drawn towards the Mirror Image Godslayer Sword, gradually enveloping it, while ignoring Chen Fei’s true consciousness. Only a small portion of the mist remained scattered around.

This bit of mist was no longer able to completely shroud Chen Fei’s true consciousness.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling like a drowning person suddenly inhaling fresh air, making him feel relaxed all over.

The sensation of having his wisdom completely suppressed was too uncomfortable. He had been in a state of confusion, knowing nothing and acting solely on instinct.

Fortunately, the connection with the rat demon had stimulated Chen Fei, and the combination of the money and the Mirror Image Godslayer Sword had played crucial roles. All three were indispensable.

The rat demon stared at Chen Fei with wide eyes. It felt that Chen Fei was very familiar and comforting, but it had no idea why it felt this way, so it simply stared blankly at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei glanced at the rat demon, then shifted his gaze back to the martial arts academy head.

The martial arts academy head’s gaze shifted between Chen Fei and the rat demon. He could sense that something had changed in Chen Fei, but he couldn’t discern what it was.

“Bang!”

With a wave of his hand, the martial arts academy head sent the rat demon crashing into the backyard, disappearing from Chen Fei’s sight.

“The tuition fee is here, so let’s hear the rules,” Chen Fei said, patting the basket of fruits beside him, causing them to roll around.

The martial arts academy head, greedily eyeing the contents of the basket, made no effort to conceal his avarice. He seemed eager to devour all the fruits right there.

“I’ll teach you a martial art, and you have two hours to learn it. Don’t worry; there have been people who learned this martial art before. Everything in Despair City is a fair exchange!” The martial arts academy head looked at Chen Fei, grinning and revealing sharp teeth.

“Two hours? Alright, let’s begin!” Chen Fei nodded.

On the interface, there wasn’t much silver at the moment, just over a hundred thousand taels. It was the sporadic savings that Chen Fei had accumulated. With only this amount of money, Chen Fei might still feel a bit uneasy facing this martial arts academy..
