RED CLOUD WARRIORS

Chapter 4. A Year of Loss

The loss that Xue Yunlei and Shang Mingmei felt had a huge impact on the lives of the two of them.

Xue Yunlei who was originally still respected by the senior disciples, now no longer felt that way.

Days passed for one year, it was not easy to pass.

So that now there is no one to help him when he was bullied by children who are the same age or a little older than him.

While Shang Mingmei's own life, which originally had a magnificent residence, has now been moved and occupies a simple building.

After a year of his father's death, Xue Yunlei was able to adjust.

The boy was walking to the Chen clan's academy.

When he had just entered the academy gate, he was confronted by five boys of his age.

"Hey, you trash boy! What else did you come here for? Don't you have no money to continue your education?". Said the figure of the boy who came from the Chen clan.

Xue Yunlei did not respond to the boy's words, she continued to step her feet and was about to pass the five brats who confronted her.

"It's also your guts, have you forgotten who's in charge here?". Said Chen Bei while catching the wrist of Xue Yunlei who wanted to pass through.

Chen Bei himself was the younger brother of Chen Kaibo the son of Chen Bian the commander of Yin City who replaced Xue Yuan's father Xue Yunlei's position.

"Before I allow you, you must not enter our academy...You understand!?". Said Chen Bei who directly kicked Xue Yunlei's stomach.

Chen Bei's treatment made Xue Yunlei's body fall directly onto the ground.

The other four brats who saw what Xue Yunlei was experiencing immediately laughed mockingly.

"Let's stand". Shouted Chen Bei.

Xue Yunlei slowly started to get up to get back up.

When Xue Yunlei stood up, Chen Bei kicked him back and made the boy fall again.

The amused laughter of the five boys was heard again.

"Young master Chen, what have you done?". Ask a senior student at the academy.

"Senior, this boy must be taught so that he will no longer be arrogant in the classroom later". Answer Chen Bei.

"This trashy boy like him still shows an arrogant attitude? So embarassing". Said the senior disciple while continuing his steps and leaving them behind.

The five brats who had just bullied him immediately left also left Xue Yunlei while saying.

"Don't until I see you again in this academy, if I see you again, I will definitely come back to beat you up". Chen Bei gave a warning to Xue Yunlei.

In the academy belonging to the Xue clan, Shang Mingmei was practicing sword techniques belonging to the Shang clan.

The girl received guidance from the teachers who taught at the academy.

And those teachers were mostly low-level elders of the Xue clan.

The elder continued to give Shang Mingmei pointers on how to execute a proper sword attack.

Because the Xue clan was the same - it was from the Shang tribe, so the techniques possessed by Shang Mingmei were well understood by the elders.

In contrast to the disciples who came from the Chen clan, they only practiced mid-level techniques from the elite ranks that the Xue clan possessed.

And that was one of the tricks so that the disciples that came from the Chen clan would not be more powerful than the disciples of the Xue clan.

But the Chen clan itself had sword techniques belonging to their family which they also often practiced.

Thus the only way to cultivate that they wanted to learn in the academy belonged to the Xue clan.

Now Shang Mingmei at the age of just 10 years has been in the Expert Realm and has finished doing the formation of the ninth level body.

So that at this time Shang Mingmei would prepare to practice in order to open up the dantian space inside his lower body.

Currently there were only two figures who could already have such an achievement.

One of them was 12-year-old Xue Zhao.

Shang Mingmei is considered to be the most genius student in the academy.

Xue Yunlei, who no longer wanted to continue her studies at the academy of political science and government, now busied herself to help the servants by finding firewood.

It is also part of his way to increase the strength of his bones and muscles.

Not only that, Xue Yunlei continued to train his physical endurance, speed and precision of punching and kicking attacks and also often trained to use a secret weapon, a flying knife with a small size.

For a boy who was five years older than him, yet did not possess Qi energy, it was certain that he would easily be able to defeat with the ability he currently possessed.

The attack speed he had would be difficult to match.

Xue Yunlei himself had completed the body-building stage, so his bone and muscle strength was already on par with a swordsman who was in the Expert Realm.

However his achievement was only able to compete with the level six Basic Realm warriors, as it lacked Qi energy.

Just as Xue Yunlei was resting, it sounded someone calling her name.

"Yunlei, what are you doing in this place?". Ask a fat teenage boy.

"I'm resting". Answer's short.

"Isn't this the time to learn? Why are you just sitting here?". Xue Bang asked curiously.

"So, why are you in this place? Isn't this still in your time to practice". Reply Xue Yunlei.

"Honestly, at this time I was truant, I was saturated with the behavior of all the students who laughed at me". Answer Xue Bang.

"What are they laughing at you?". Xue Yunlei asked again.

"What do you think I'm lacking?". Asked Xue Bang who wanted to get an appraisal from Xue Yunlei.

"I don't think you have any flaws". Xue Yunlei replied just like that.

"You look good first and give the answer". Xue Bang felt that Xue Yunlei was only answering his question at once, so the fat man again told Xue Yunlei to assess the flaws he had.

"According to my current vision, you have no flaws, that's all I know". Xue Yunlei replied to be even more convincing.

"What's your answer with reticence - really?". Ask Xue Bang again.

"Yes, I answered really, really". Xue Yunlei said to be more convincing.

"Why don't you mention if my flaws are my fat body?". Xu Bang said.

"I don't think that's one of your shortcomings, but one of your advantages". Xue Yunlei.

"Why do you think that's one of my advantages?". Ask Xue Bang.

"Who do you think is bigger, me or you?". Ask Xue Yunlei.

"Of course my body is bigger than yours". Answer Xue Bang.

"How, did I answer your question wrongly?'. Xue Yunlei's

Xue Bang thought a little and then laughed after understanding the answer Xue Yunlei gave while hearkening his non-itchy head.

"So, why are you here?". Ask Xue Bang.

"I no longer want to study in the academy of politics and government, I think it is completely useless". Xue Yunlei replied.

"You must not think that way, for political science and government are essential to leading a city".

"You see how our city has always been able to withstand every bar-bar attack, it's all thanks to the Chen clan's expertise in providing input to our troops".

"If not, we can be sure our city has fallen into their hands".

Xue Bang gave Xue Yunlei a little overview of the importance of political science and government.

"What you're saying is true, but I have absolutely no intention of pursuing that science". Xue Yunlei replied with an excuse.

Xue Yunlei did not want to tell her the real reason why she was no longer studying.
