Heavenly Cultivation Institution courtyard

"I wonder what really happened during that battle. I clearly remember dying. hmmm. I'll have to figure this out later because it seems like everything except for my memories were reset. Speaking of which, I wonder where Quin Li and Shin Lao are? Normally they'd come try to scare me." thought Shao Lin.

WAM

"huh? what was that? id better go check it out"

...

"why dont you just give up you little freak. You can't fight us even if you wanted to. Maybe ill give it back if you beg for it." said a tall, muscular looking boy with red hair and sharp blue eyes. This boy was none other than Ling Chen of the Sacred Seal family and also the nephew of Ling Xue.

'It's Ling Chen and his cronies! that dirty bastard what is he up to now?' thought Shao Lin. 'wait a minute, who's that on the ground? Wait! that looks like... Ying Nam? What would she be doing here and why is Ling Chen bullying her? This is too weird. i guess ill just have to deal with those things later first I've got to stop him.'

"Hey! Ling Chen stop that" shouted Shao Lin.

everyone stops and turns around to look at Shao Lin. "Well Well well look who it is. If it isn't Shao Lin of the DECLINING Flaming Seal family." said Ling Chen "Are you here to stick up for this freak? you'd make a perfect match. A freak from the Soul Chain family and a worthless brat from the Flaming Seal family. hehehe"

"Oh shut it Ling Chen. The only reason you can talk like that is because of your little cronies behind you. If it wasn't 3 on 1 I would win in a fight against you easily." said Shao Lin. This made Ling Chen really mad. His skin started to turn deep red.

"you? beat me? ha don't think so highly of yourself! I , Ling Chen, challenge you and this lil freak to a two person duel in the Festival of The Kings!"

"I accept your challenge on behalf of both Ying Nam and I. And " says Shao Lin.

"Fine! I'll beat you no matter what and as my stake when i win you'll be my personal servant for life and stop attempting at cultivation." says Ling Chen with a devious sneer on his face and pride in his voice.

"alright my stake will be the same, well except for you being my servant, of course, i have no need for a useless servant"said Shao Lin.

"why you little..." said Ling Chen as he grabbed her by her shirt.

Suddenly they start to hear whispers. "hey isn't that Ling Chen?" "Why is he flirting with a couple of girls?" "Yeah I heard he was supposed to be competing in the Festival in a few months, shouldn't he be preparing for it?" "Ling Chen! What are you doing?!?!" They all turned to see a mature looking woman with a very regal and imposing aura surrounding her. This woman was none other than the head teacher of the year 4 and 5 alchemy classes, Lady Red. She was once the Head Alchemist of the city and was rumored to have once been proposed to by the City Lord but refused and then saved his life on multiple occasions before she finally retired to to simply teaching alchemy at The Institute, and even though she was just a mere teacher now she still held quite the prestige and power of when she was in her youth.

"Lady Red!" said Ling Chen. "I... I was just... I.." "There will be no need Ling Chen. I've seen and heard more than enough to know what's going on here. So miss Shao Lin you wish to join the Festival along with Ying Nam, did I hear that correctly?"

"Yes ma'am." said Shao Lin.

"And you do know that in order to enter the Festival's fighting matches you must compete in at least two other competitions?"

"Yes ma'am, I do."

"And do you know what other competitions you two will compete in?"

"Yes ma'am, I do. We plan to compete in all of them."

"what's wrong with this kid?" "yeah, she thinks to highly of herself!"

"Quiet! So you wish to participate in every challenge?" said Lady Red.

"Yes ma'am, that is what I said."

"Well Well, at least there are some students here whom are pretty brave. Alright! Tomorrow morning I will have someone come get the two of you and bring you both to my office because there are some... formal tests that you must take to enter some of these competitions, understood?"

"Yes ma'am, understood."

"Alright then I will see the two of you tomorrow. And you Ling Chen, come with me I don't think your aunt will appreciate hearing about this."
