130: Chapter 130 Resource Deprivation, Stable Dormitory

The commotion at the welcoming plaza quickly spread throughout Kyoto No. 1 Martial Arts University.

With his hands in his pockets, Su Chen walked down the school's wide tree-lined boulevard, with Jiang Feng following behind carrying their luggage.

As the top academy of the Great Xia, its campus was comparable in size to a small city. The hierarchy here was strict, a hundred times more ruthless than the outside world.

They passed the school's "Heaven-grade" dormitory area. These were luxurious standalone villas built on small Spiritual Veins.

The Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost condensed into white mist. Those who could live here were all prodigies from elite families with S-rank talent or higher.

Meanwhile, Su Chen and Jiang Feng's destination was the freshman registration office.

At this moment, the registration hall was teeming with people. A few upperclassmen with Student Union badges pinned to their chests sat behind desks, condescendingly distributing resources to the freshmen.

"Zhang Hao, A-Rank Talent. Ten bottles of Intermediate Blood Qi Pills! One Earth-grade apartment!" An upperclassman announced, handing a ring of keys and a bag of Medicinal Pills to the freshman in front of him.

The freshman took them with an excited expression, thanking him repeatedly.

Finally, it was Su Chen's turn.

Su Chen walked up to the desk and placed his admission letter on it.

The Student Union officer behind the desk didn't even look up. Twirling a pen in his hand, he impatiently picked up the letter and glanced at it.

"Su Chen? From Jiangnan Province?"

The officer's movements suddenly froze. He looked up, sizing Su Chen up from head to toe, and his lips immediately curled into an extremely mocking sneer.

"And here I was wondering who it was. So it's that F-rank useless top scorer who's famous all over school."

The officer spoke very loudly, deliberately letting everyone in the hall hear. The surrounding freshmen turned their heads one after another, pointing and whispering at Su Chen, their eyes filled with disdain.

Su Chen remained expressionless. He looked at the officer. "My dormitory and resources."

"Dormitory?" The officer sneered, pulling out a rusty ring of keys from under the desk.

Slam! He threw the keys heavily in front of Su Chen like throwing away trash.

"Your dormitory is in the Ding District, Room 444 on the far west side."

"Take the keys and get lost."

Hearing the words "Ding District", the surrounding freshmen burst into a fit of laughter.

Jiang Feng frowned and stepped forward, his massive 2.2-meter frame casting a huge shadow that completely enveloped the officer.

"What kind of place is the Ding District?" Jiang Feng asked coldly.

The officer was startled by Jiang Feng's size. However, relying on the fact that this was Student Union territory, he stiffened his neck and replied arrogantly:

"The Ding District used to be the stables the school used to keep exotic beast mounts! Later, it was casually renovated to brush off low-class commoners who don't have any background."

The officer stared at Su Chen, his eyes full of malice. "For an F-rank trash, you should be grateful we're even letting you stay in the stables. You actually want an apartment?"

"You're fucking asking for death!" Jiang Feng's eyes turned blood-red, his fists cracking loudly. Grabbing the officer by the collar, he lifted him straight out of his chair with one hand!

"Fatty, let go," Su Chen's calm voice came from beside him.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Feng slammed the officer back into his chair. "Consider yourself lucky!"

The officer was thrown into a daze and scrambled to straighten his clothes. A flash of resentment crossed his eyes, but looking at Jiang Feng's tower-like build, he didn't dare to run his mouth any further.

"Where are my top scorer resources?" Su Chen asked, still with his hands in his pockets, his tone completely flat.

According to the strict regulations of the Great Xia's Ministry of Education, no matter which province's practical exam top scorer they were, they could claim ten bottles of extremely precious Advanced Blood Qi Pills upon enrollment! This was clearly written in the archives.

Hearing Su Chen demand the pills, the officer suddenly laughed again. He laughed extremely wildly.

He pulled out a flat cloth bag from a drawer and threw it perfunctorily at Su Chen. "Resources? These are your resources."

Su Chen didn't catch it. The bag landed on the desk, containing only two sets of the cheapest freshman school uniforms.

Forget about Advanced Blood Qi Pills, there wasn't even a single ordinary Blood Replenishing Pill!

"Where are the pills?" Su Chen looked at the officer.

"Gone!" The officer slammed both hands on the desk and stood up arrogantly.

"This is an instruction personally issued by the Student Union's Vice President, Senior Vice President Ye Ling!" The officer pointed at Su Chen's nose, his voice ear-piercingly loud.

"You're just an F-rank physical mutant trash who can't even sense spiritual energy! Giving you Advanced Blood Qi Pills? That would be like throwing gold into a smelly gutter! What a waste of heavenly resources!"

The officer looked smug, as if he held the power of life and death. "Therefore, the Student Union has decided to confiscate all of your top scorer quotas! Your pills will be completely confiscated and used to reward those true prodigies of elite families!"

Robbery! This was blatant, daylight robbery!

The entire registration hall fell deathly silent. All the freshmen gasped.

The resources of a provincial top scorer, confiscated by the Student Union just like that? The waters of this No. 1 Martial Arts University were terrifyingly deep!

"Fuck your ancestors!" Jiang Feng completely snapped!

Boom! An extremely violent Tier 3 Martial Master Realm Blood Qi erupted from within Jiang Feng! A greenish-gray metallic luster instantly covered his arms.

Bang! Jiang Feng smashed his fist onto the heavy solid-wood desk. The hard desk instantly shattered into pieces, wood splinters flying everywhere!

"Ah!" The officer fell onto his butt in terror, his face pale. He scrambled backward and screamed at the top of his lungs, "School Security Team! Someone come quickly! A freshman is trying to kill someone in the registration office!"

He had been waiting for this exact moment! Vice President Vice President Ye Ling had instructed that as long as they could provoke Su Chen and this fat guy into starting a fight, the School Security Team would immediately cripple their cultivation and throw them out of the school on charges of "attacking a senior"!

Several upperclassmen patrol officers immediately drew their weapons and rushed over.

At the critical moment.

A hand pressed down with immense force on Jiang Feng's iron-covered shoulder.

"Brother Chen! Don't stop me! I'm going to rip his head off today!" Jiang Feng roared.

"Stand down," Su Chen's voice was bone-chilling, carrying an absolute authority.

Jiang Feng trembled all over. He glanced at Su Chen's bottomless dark eyes, gritted his teeth in frustration, dispersed his Blood Qi, and stepped back behind Su Chen.

Su Chen turned his head and looked at the terrified officer on the ground.

He slowly bent down. From among the scattered wood splinters on the floor, he picked up the rusty ring of keys and the flat cloth bag containing the two sets of uniforms.

"You... who do you think you are! Still wanting Medicinal Pills!" Seeing the School Security Team arrive, the officer's courage returned, and he continued to provoke him.

Holding the items, Su Chen stood up straight.

He paid no attention to the rushing School Security Team. Instead, he looked down at the officer with eyes devoid of any human emotion.

With just one look, the curse words the officer was about to spit out got stuck in his throat.

He felt as if Shinigami had gripped his heart. His blood ran cold at that very moment.

"Go back and tell Vice President Ye Ling."

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears in the hall with absolute clarity.

"I won't take a single cent of what doesn't belong to me. But if what belongs to me is short by even a bit..."

The corner of Su Chen's mouth curled into a dangerous arc.

"I'll have him pay with his life."

"Those ten bottles of Advanced Blood Qi Pills, let your Student Union keep them for me for now."

Su Chen turned around and slung the cloth bag over his shoulder.

"In a few days, I will personally go and retrieve them, with interest."

Dominant! Arrogant to the extreme!

All the upperclassmen and freshmen present were dumbfounded. An F-rank trash who didn't even dare to raise a hand when his resources were withheld actually dared to leave such a harsh threat for the Student Union's Vice President before leaving?

"He's crazy... this kid is definitely a lunatic!" The officer on the ground gritted his teeth and cursed as he stared at Su Chen's back.

"Let's go." Without saying another word, Su Chen led Jiang Feng straight out of the registration office's doors.

...

Twenty minutes later.

The westernmost side of Kyoto No. 1 Martial Arts University. The Ding District dormitories.

This place was far from the school's Spiritual Vein center, and the air was filled with a musty smell that never dissipated.

Rows of low, dilapidated single-story houses were joined together. The paint was peeling, weeds grew in abundance, and if one looked closely, traces of exotic beast droppings could still be seen in the corners.

Just as that officer had said, several decades ago, this place had indeed been stables used to keep exotic beasts.

"Damn it, those bastards!" Jiang Feng kicked a pebble on the side of the road as he looked at the dilapidated environment. "Brother Chen, this crappy place doesn't even have a decent spot to stand! They're doing this on purpose to disgust us!"

"Why did you stop me back at the registration office?" Jiang Feng said, his face full of frustration. "At worst, we'd both get expelled. I'm not taking this kind of crap!"

Su Chen walked up to the broken wooden door with the door plate "444".

He picked up the rusty key and calmly inserted it into the keyhole.

Click. The lock made a stiff sound, and the wooden door was pushed open. A cloud of dust blew into their faces.

Su Chen didn't bother to brush away the dust. Instead, he walked into this narrow, dim stable dormitory.

"Fatty."

Su Chen turned around and looked at the indignant Jiang Feng standing outside the door. A highly dangerous light flickered in his deep, dark eyes.

"If a dog bites you, do you need to crawl on the ground to bite it back?"

Jiang Feng was stunned. "Of course not!"

"Correct." Su Chen walked over to the wooden bed that was missing a leg and casually tossed the cloth bag onto it.

"If a dog bites you..." Su Chen slowly turned his head, his voice carrying an icy killing intent forged in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"...you only need to find the dog's owner, and then..."

Su Chen's right hand clenched into a slight fist, his knuckles producing a crisp cracking sound.

"...beat their owner to death, right in front of all the dogs."

Hearing these words, Jiang Feng felt his scalp go numb. The frustration in his eyes instantly vanished, replaced by an irrepressible frenzy!

He knew Su Chen too well. The calmer this man was, the more terrifying the impending storm would be!

Endurance? In Shura's dictionary, the word "endurance" had never existed.

Su Chen looked out the window at the towering Student Union headquarters building.

"Ten bottles of Blood Qi Pills? That was merely an excuse to start a war."

"Since the elite families and financial magnates of Kyoto wanted to play, Su Chen would play with them to the very end."
