Chapter 3 - Volume 1, Youth Disappointments Chapter 3, Insults

"Make way, make way, all make way to me..." Sakda, holding Cheng Fei in his arms, rushed out of the training area like a madman and headed straight for the school's medical room.

 In training, it is quite normal for some people to faint due to unbearable suffering, but for the students of the Ether Academy, it is definitely an unusual thing. The students there are all the best geniuses selected from a hundred million, who have not been honed through countless hardships, both in terms of aptitude and physical condition, this intensity of training, It's not easy, but just grit your teeth and you can get through it.

 "Third, you're awake," Sakda said joyfully.

 "You scared me, are you okay? Come, have a glass of water." Harvey, too, moved closer and asked.

 Looking at the bloodstains in his two roommates' eyes, Cheng Fei was afraid that it was due to staying up late again. At this thought, a warm current welled up in his heart. He knew that he had had a problem since childhood, that is, he would easily faint without any warning. Sometimes while eating, he would faint while eating, and the time of his coma was also irregular. At best, it would be for a short while, and at worst, it could last for ten days or even half a month. He himself wondered how he would faint when he was fine and why he didn't feel any discomfort every time he woke up. His father always said, "The doctor said you are weak by nature. Nothing. You will get better gradually."

 Nothing, it will get better in the future...

 But now more than ten years have passed, and the situation has not improved at all. Instead, the frequency of coma has been increasing. Why is that?

 He asked the doctor privately, but the doctor said something similar to his father's, that it was nothing and would gradually get better, but Cheng Fei did not think so. He clearly felt that as he grew older, his body was getting weaker and weaker, especially in recent times, he seemed to have no interest in the world around him, and his body was gradually becoming dull and unobedient. It seemed as if the world was gradually moving away from him.

 Little by little, little by little...

 "Nothing, with the lazy king and the lustful king taking care of it, what could happen?" Cheng Fei smiled stiffly, took the water cup and drank it in one gulp.

 Lazy King, Lustful King looked at each other, speechless, they both noticed that Cheng Fei was a bit off today.

 Cheng Fei forced himself into training that day. He knew in his heart that he had been able to enter the Etheric academy only because of the strength of his family. If not, he would not have been able to meet the admission requirements even if he had practiced for another hundred years. He clearly remembered his father's words: Cheng Fei, you are the legitimate descendant of the Gerta family. You have the advantage that no one in the entire Augustus continent dares to be against you openly. You can be willful, you can act, but you also have the disadvantage that you are naturally weak and will never become a cultivator. From now on, whatever you want to do, father will support you.

 "Your brother Jin Yun has obtained the graduation certificate of the Etheric Academy, and Yu Han has become a student of the Etheric Academy. They have all grown up, and with them helping father manage this family business, I feel at ease,"

 "The only thing Father can't let go of is you..."

 While running, Cheng Fei recalled what his father had said: "The only thing my father can't let go of is you..."

 "Your brother Jin Yun has already obtained the graduation certificate of the Ethereum Academy, and Yu Han has become a student of the Ethereum Academy. They have all grown up. With them helping father manage this family business, I feel at ease. The only thing father is worried about is you..."

 "The only thing father is worried about is you..."

 "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

 Cheng Fei gritted his teeth and struggled to run, his eyes blurred with sweat. All the others had finished the prescribed distance and stopped, but he was still running, not even halfway through.

 They were all looking at Cheng Fei with the same gaze: contemptuous look!

 How could I be a burden to my father? How could I, how could I!! My father is over three hundred years old this year. If he doesn't break through the heavenly Way, it won't be long before he starts to grow old slowly. How can I be a burden to my father at this time? How can I hold my father back at this time..."

 Indeed, on the path of cultivation, although with the improvement of one's cultivation, life expectancy can be correspondingly extended, for those who enter the earthly realm, life expectancy is generally around five hundred years, and in the Heavenly Way, life expectancy can generally reach eight or nine hundred years, and to reach the legendary immortal life of a thousand years, perhaps only by breaking through the heavenly Way and entering the immortal path is possible, but to break through the heavenly way is definitely not an easy thing, There are not many examples of this in history.

 When Cheng Fei was five years old, his father told him that he didn't quite understand at that time. When he heard this, Cheng Fei was very glad to know that his father had always been very demanding of his children, harsher than could be harsher, harsher than could be harsher, but in those words, his father actually told him: No matter what you do, father will support you.

 As a result, Cheng Yun was very fond of Cheng Fei, so much so that anyone who dared to touch Cheng Fei in the slightest would be killed by Cheng Yun! Even his father, the emperor, was no exception. Who was he? He is the president of the Goltai Chamber, one of the three most powerful chambers of commerce on the continent of Augustus.

 With such a background, even an emperor would never dare to act recklessly.

 Now Cheng Fei understood, understood the meaning of his father's words, that his father had no expectation of his future achievements at all, that he was completely desperate of himself!!

 There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart!

 "My brother got into the Ether Academy with the third place, and now he has graduated, and my sister Yuhan got into the university by her own strength and is now a public figure in the school, but I have to use backdoor connections to get in..."

 At noon, the sun was like fire, roasting the earth. Cheng Fei was sweating profusely, not knowing how far he had run. Suddenly, his heel went weak and he fell to the ground, panting heavily.

 "Are you dizzy? How could he be dizzy again?" In the training area, a big kid pointed at Cheng Fei, puzzled.

 "Well, I see, he probably got in through connections. At his level, he can't even hold on for such a short distance. I could crush him with one finger," said the other boy disdainfully.

 "Be careful with your words. I've heard that his father is the president of the Geltai Chamber of Commerce. If it gets to his father, I'm afraid..." A girl also came up to him.

 "Humph, you're so big and you have to rely on your family to make a living. You're really good-for-nothing,"

 "Oh, yes. Back then, how awesome his brother was, he broke through the territory in just ten years. Oh, he's far behind his brother."

 "He had an elder sister, who was said to have reached the peak of the world, and the whole family was fine. How could there be such a useless thing like him?"

 "Well, he's probably the worst in the Etheric academy for thousands of years..."

 "..."

 Listening quietly to the comments of these people, Cheng Fei, who was only thirteen years old, took a deep breath. His face twitched as if he had been slapped by life, and he kept trembling.

 He had never been insulted like this before, the pain of having his pride completely insulted,

 It pierced deep, deep into the heart.

 It pierced the deepest part, the place that could never be touched!

 Why, why do they insult me like this!

 Some of the teachers did have some complaints about Cheng Fei, who fainted several times during training and got into the school through connections, but they were too scared to do so under pressure from the school's top management.

 The teacher who has been teaching this group of people these days is a master of the Heavenly Way - Link. To reach the realm of the Heavenly Way is truly remarkable. Even on the entire Augustus continent, there are no more than a hundred thousand masters of the Heavenly Way. Besides, the Augustus continent has a huge population and a vast territory, mainly including the three great empires and the three great churches. There are countless small states under his command. These more than 100,000 masters are divided up one by one by these big and small forces, and the number of masters assigned to the same region is pitifully small. Some principalities don't even have a single master of the Way.

 Link, standing not far from Cheng Fei, shook his head in the face of the crowd's comments: This child is not to be taught

 "If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning against you." The King of Colors, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward, not caring about offending the hundreds of people present, and spoke louder than a bear's cry.

 Sure enough, the sound on the field gradually died down and then fell silent.

 "What evidence do you have to say this? Don't say anything without evidence, or I'll say you try." The Lazy King also stepped forward, went to Cheng Fei's side and helped him off.

 Those comments are indeed true, but no one knows that Cheng Fei has been born without a heart and has struggled to survive these years by life contract, but as he grows older, the effect of life contract becomes weaker and weaker, and when it is weak enough to sustain a person's soul, that is death.
