Tainted will

Chapter 6 Profiting

The sky was blue and clear, white clouds drifted like cotton. The warm rays of the Sun fell on the Xuan mountains.

It had been five days since Bai Ming had managed to acquire the number one place in the assessment.

"Ahh!" Bei ju yelled loudly, swinging his fist at Bai Ming, sweeping fiercely through the air.

Bai Ming lowered his body and dodged, then he lifted his leg and swiftly kicked at the boy's kidney.

Bam!

Bei ju groaned in pain as his body crashed down with a loud sound, his entire body was covered in dirt. But his heart was indignant, he tried to raise his head to fiercely glare at Bai Ming.

But the moment he lifted his head his pupils shrunk to pin size, two dagger-like fingers were aiming at his eyes and were just inches away from piercing his two eyeballs.

Bei Ju felt a cold chill in his heart, his mouth was dry. He froze in fear. But to his relief the daggers didn't move forward, they were stationary.

After a few short breaths, Bei Ju spoke with much difficulty, "I surrender."

Instantly the surrounding youths who were spectating had various expressions. Some cheered loudly, while some gasped in amazement, some had pondering gazes and some were making unsightly expressions, while two of the youths were solemn.

Bai Ming coldly stared down at the miserable Bei Ju as he spoke arrogantly "How weak! with this little strength, you want to challenge me, ridiculous!"

Bei Ju heard this and gritted his teeth even more ferociously. He spoke with extreme anger "Don't be too proud, I will definitely make you beg for mercy one day. Just you wait!"

As he said that he took out a small bag from his robes. He directly threw it at Bai Ming's face.

Bai Ming caught it in a swift manner. "Hehe, at least you can keep your word" As he spoke, he threw one last glance at Bei Ju before leaving the training grounds.

Bei Ju was one of the high-grade talents of this year's batch, After it was known that the first one to break through was Bai Ming, he felt extremely humiliated by the fact that he had lost to a person with only mid-grade talent.

It was not just him the remaining high-grade talents also felt the same way. It was only natural for these kids to feel that way. If they had lost to Su Ming it was fine, they would not have felt such humiliation but losing to Bai Ming, a mid-grade trash they absolutely couldn't accept it.

In the past few days, during the physical combat training sessions, Bai Ming noticed how he was treated differently by his classmates than before. Earlier he was not treated poorly or anything, he was just treated like any other student.

But after winning first place in the assessment it was different, the gazes of his classmates had a subtle change from before.

The majority of low-grade and mid-grade talents would take the Initiative to strike up conversations with him, Bai Ming would just politely nod at them and stay silent.

As for high-grade talents, there were only 4 of them, among them one was friendly, while the other two were indifferent as for the last one Bei Ju, he would reveal his unconcealed disdain for Bai Ming.

Bai Ming noticed this but didn't take it to heart. Why would he care about others' opinions? At the end of the day, they were just empty words.

Next, he carefully collected information on all of his classmates' family backgrounds, After he did that he felt very pleased with this kid, Bei Ju.

Because Bei Ju was just like him, he didn't have any core formation realm experts in his family.

Then Bai Ming began to plot. He would purposefully act arrogantly in front of Bei Ju, making Bei Ju who was already very displeased with Bai Ming even more annoyed.

Sometimes Bai Ming would laugh or even comment words like 'trash' and 'filth' directly on Bei Ju's face.

After enduring Bai Ming's arrogance for a couple of days, Bei Ju couldn't take it anymore. He openly challenged Bai Ming to spar, this made the other students excited. After all, who doesn't like a fight.

At the time Bai Ming secretly felt happy, But on the surface, he had spoken with much disdain and disgust "Bei Ju, you're just some lowly trash, You really think I would accept a challenge from you? Isn't that just bullying the weak? But if you're really that determined, tomorrow evening in the academy training grounds we can fight, But since you are the one initiating this challenge, I have a condition to add, when I win you will have to give me 30 spirit stones. If you're incapable of even arranging this measly sum then do us all a favor and get lost."

Bei Ju's face was twisted as he tried to control his burning rage, his eyes were glaring at Bai Ming as he spoke word for word, "Then what will I receive if you lose?"

"What did you just say? what happens if I lose? Hahaha, trash like you should know your place, there is no way I will lose to someone like you. Now scram, we will meet tomorrow." Bai Ming laughed coldly and spat a ward of saliva inches away from Bei Ju, before turning around and leaving.

When Bai Ming conversed with Bei Ju he had made sure of three things. First, he made Bei Ju himself challenge him. This shows that he was helpless, As he did not want to bully his classmates. He had to fight to protect his reputation and the people of ye village valued their reputation highly.

Secondly, he made it so that he was the one setting both the time and place. Bai Ming had just broken through on the day before the fight, advancing to the 3rd layer of the bone-forging realm and facing Bei Ju who was only a 2nd-level bone-forging realm martial artist.

Thirdly, He made Bei Ju put 30 spirit stones as the bet prize if Bai Ming won, whereas Bai Ming himself never promised anything.

One could say that the entire situation was firmly within Bai Ming's gasp. Even if he lost the fight he wouldn't really lose anything.

Reputation? Hehe, it can kiss his ass.

"Adding 19 spirit stones from last time. I have 49 spirit stones now, hehehe this should be enough for me to reach 6th layer of the bone-forging realm. Bei Ju, you are such a nice person." Bai Ming had an innocent smile as he walked back home.
