An Immortal's Tales Of Demons And Gods Chapter 24: The Bet Of Three People.

"I will surpass Lord Ye Mo, and because a Demon Spiritualist, the strongest Glory City has ever witnessed before, I'll also marry the most beautiful girl in Glory City!" Nie Li puffed his chest, and said seriously, making the rest of the classroom laugh loudly, he was really being shameless according to them.

Ye Ziyun frowned, not appreciating the fact she was mixed up into this mess, for some weird reason, she thought he was talking about her, when he said he'll marry… The most beautiful girl in Glory City.

Shen Xiu started to laugh loudly,"You, surpass Lord Ye Mo?! In your dreams!"

Nie Li had a cold smirk on his face,"Teacher Shen Xiu, Lord Ye Mo was also a commoner, just like us, which means that he was first a commoner before becoming who he is right now, so we all can reach his level if we all try enough."

Shen Xiu snorted, she reached for a paper, and smirked when she read it,"Nie Li, Red Grade Soul Realm,Soul Force 5, Physical Strength 39, with those kind of abilities, you hope to surpass Lord Ye Mo? Keep dreaming!"

Nie Li's face was covered by a cold expression,"Teacher Shen Xiu, you think that the future of one is decided by their Soul Realm, then, according to you, some of us here will reach the peak, and the rest will fall?"

Shen Xiu took several other papers,"Shen Tian,Indigo Soul Realm,Soul Force,781,Physical Strength 1923. You will only dream of surpassing my nephew,let's not speak of Xiao Ning'er,Shen Yue or Ye Ziyun."

Nie Li faked an expression, not really sure of who Shen Tian was, judging by his name, he was part of the Sacred Family, however, in his past life, there had been no Shen Tian or any of that sort.

He then shouted out,"Teacher Shen Xiu, with your despicable character, you are only protecting the 'nobles' who are gifted, and not the commoners, showing of your terrible personality, I am ashamed to have someone like you as my teacher!"

Shen Xiu's face turned red as she roared in anger,"Shut up,imbecile student, I am the teacher here! Who are you to disrespect me?!"

"Teacher Shen Xiu, I guarantee you that, in this class we will have a dozen of Commoners which will surpass your imagination, if I am lying, you can cut my head off!" Nie Li said with resolute eyes.

Shen Xiu snorted, and slightly recovered,"Even when Lord Ye Mo was young, he was tested and had a talent of the Cyan Grade Soul Realm, unlike him, you are a mere trash of the Red Grade!"

"I know that your heart is full of anger and contempt towards me, but one day, I will show it to you, I'll shut up your mouth with hard fact! Talent alone, won't write the achievements one has in life!"

"We cultivators, are already going against the path of the heavens, by cultivating! Stupid things like talent won't stop me from reaching the apex!" Nie Li shouted,"Teacher Shen Xiu, are you willing to make a bet with me?!"

Everyone in the classroom felt their blood boil, Shen Xiu took a deep breath, feeling the atmosphere in the classroom and narrowed her eyes,"What bet do you want to make?" She asked.

"In the coming test, in two months, I am willing to bet that I will reach the Bronze Rank!" His voice rang out, shocking everyone, going from a Soul Force of 5, to a Soul Force of 100 in a month?!

Impossible, that was just a fool's dream!

Shen Xiu covered her laughter and replied,"Why would I be not willing?! I am willing, but if you lose, you have to resign from the Holy Orchid Institute." Nie Li nodded,"But if I win, you have to resign from the Holy Orchid Institute as a teacher!"

"A brat with an ego like yours, won't achieve anything in life, I accept! We will see each other in the end of the two months… Until then, you can stand at the back of the classroom!" Shen Xiu yelled out.

Du Ze looked around, before gritting his teeth and also standing next to Nie Li, the boy who was a noble, had stood up for commoners, he would be very ashamed if he was still going to stay like that.

Li Piao was next, he stood up and walked towards them," I don't feel like sitting, standing up is much more refreshing!"

Three other commoner kids stood up, and walked towards them,"We also feel the same." They said at the same time. Shen Tian looked at them with amusement,'Should I also stand up, I feel like that boy is hiding a lot…'

Making his decision, Shen Tian stood up, and walked towards the group, despite the shock of both sides, Shen Xiu at her nephew abandoning his seat, and the group for almost the same reason.

Why would a noble of a major family,especially the Sacred Family stand up for them? Shen Yue snorted, and a smirk entered his face,"Trash will stay with trash." However, a quick side glare from Shen Tian made him shut up.

"Teacher Shen Xiu, I am also going to participate in this bet, if I am unable to reach the Gold Rank inside two months, you can also say I'm going to resign from the Holy Orchid Institute." Shen Tian coldly said, startling the classroom, and starting an uproar.

Shen Xiu took a deep breath to relax herself, this was too much for her, she then took out a few papers from her desk and started to read names,Ye Ziyun,Xiao Ning'er and Shen Yue were the three mentioned.

Then, another talent, Feng Hao, who was the the only one with a Azure Grade Soul Realm also stood up, Shen Xiu had also forgotten that he was a commoner too, he walked towards the group without any hesitation.

Nie Li, was surveying the classroom, for any figure he might recognize, which included Xiao Ning'er, he noticed her, and couldn't help but feel sad for her future, he was still assimilating the memories of his old body.

He was now beginning to understand who Shen Tian was, and he knew that he had an arranged marriage with Xiao Ning'er of the Winged Dragon Family, he didn't seem like a very bad guy.

He would protect Shen Tian… But at the current level they were, it would be the opposite, since Shen Tian was at the Silver Rank, he'd have to protect them, it was funny, Nie Li noted internally.

The group did not bother to listen to Shen Xiu anymore, it was a waste of time, instead they started to talk to each other, despite Shen Xiu being pissed at them for creating noise, there was not much more she could do.
