Outside of the cube.
Jin Rou and Dei were talking about Xiu'er's examination.
"Do you think your brother will pass it?" Dei asked.
"What do you think?" Jin Rou passed the question. He wanted know the what he was thinking.
"For me, it's hard. If there's a possibility, it won't amount to more than 5%." Dei answered.
"That's because?" Jin Rou asked.
"That's because I have known Teacher Song for so long now. He was a merciless dude that even those from the big forces like True Dragon Clan hadn't escaped." Then, he narrated a story, "In the past, there are a bunch of dragons who tried to enroll here but they were immediately kicked out of the academy right from the bat. I don't know what happened during the enrollment but the dragon clan pursued this and seek for an answer for Teacher Song's behavior. "
" And?" Jin Rou said.
"Unfortunately, the academy remained silent about this even after the threats of attack of the dragon clan. In the end, the dragon clan didn't have a choice but to swallow this anger. But they withdraw all of their dragon clansmen all around the academy and declared that they will never let their dragons enroll in this school." Dei said.
"But a dragon just tried to enroll, you know." Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know that there's a bad blood between the clan and the academy.
"What?" Because Jin Rou spoke in low volume, Dei didn't pick up what he was trying to say.
"Nothing." Jin Rou shook his head and said. He looked at the black cube not far away from him and it immediately fluctuated, showing a small figure getting out of it.

"How is it?" Jin Rou saw Xiu'er walking over to them and asked, "Did you pass?"
In Dei's mind, Xiu'er had failed. Thus he tried to comfort the child and said, "It's okay, Xiu'er. You can just try again next year or I can recommended another school for you. In fact, I will write a personal letter for you to be accepted without further difficulty. Of course, this won't be free this time."
"What are you talking about? Do you think I failed?" Xiu'er knitted his brows and asked.
"Didn't you fail?" Dei asked confused.
"Who gave you that news?" Xiu'er laughed and answered, "I passed, of course."
Then, Xiu'er showed his palm with a black letters of C H a O S.
This was the proof of being accepted into the Academy of Chaos and no one could replicate this. Even the powerful master duplicators wouldn't have the ability.
"What..." Dei was so surprised that his mouth was wide open, "How is that possible?"
"Because it's possible." Xiu'er answered, "Not because you deemed it impossible will also make it impossible for others. Everyone has their own circumstances, and the factors rely on this."
"…" Dei didn't know what to say. He raised his two hands in resignation. This kid was a genius and he wouldn't be able to get it no matter how hard he try to comprehend it. After all, the world of geniuses was different from theirs, the world of normal people.
"Congratulations on passing your exam." Jin Rou had already expected this and said, "Now, you can study here all you want as a chaos student."
"Un." Xiu'er was happy. Now that he was an official student, he could now access the library of the school and search for information about Templar Clan.
This was the main reason why he wanted to attend classes, to have an access for a privileged library that had a lot of information.
"There's too many people here. Let's go out of this place and find a store to eat." Jin Rou could sense the eyes of everyone focusing on them. It made him uncomfortable though he wasn't the center of it.
Immediately afterwards, the two walked off of the Enrollment Hall with Dei in tow, deciding to join them.
"As a guide, you should help others too. Not just us." Jin Rou reminded Dei of the job be was supposed to do.
"I'll take this as my breaktime, and I'm just a freelance guide. So don't worry about a management hunting me." Dei laughed.
"But why are you tagging along with us?" Xiu'er was a bit annoyed by this man, "If it's your breaktime, go and do your own thing. Stop pestering us."
"Oh come on, don't give me that attitude." Dei looked pitiful, "Have you forgotten? I used my sources to answer your questions a while ago."
"That's free of charge." Xiu'er refuted.
"Yes, but I believe in karmic cycle." Dei didn't back down, "While I gave you something for free, you should give me something in return, too."
"Then it's a trade, your information a while ago isn't free." Xiu'er sneered. He knew what this guy was up to.
"If we're talking about karmic cycle, it isn't a trade but to end the karmic strings with a return." Dei shrugged his shoulders.
"Stop beating around the bush." Jin Rou chuckled, "What do you want?"
"I just want to tag along, that's it. Perhaps I might learn a thing or two." Dei answered.
"You can't get anything from me, or Xiu'er. We're just normal beings looking for a living." Jin Rou shook his head.
"My gut feeling doesn't lie, friend." Dei blocked their path and said, "I can sense that you are an expert, a powerful expert to be exact."
"Oh? How can you say so?" Jin Rou smiled.
"Because I can see it. I can see the colors of the qi circulating inside one's body." Dei paused for a moment and continued, "Inside your body, is a massive ocean of qi. An endless ocean capable of annihilating everything if your will bids for it. Not just that, while I don't know your exact cultivation, I can still see how pure and terrifying your qi is. It's something like it came from the heavens, or it did?"
