Chapter 288: 8.15 First Blue Star - At the First Military Academy.
The result of Feng Jing's current potential is off the charts. As Marshal Sirius had said before, Feng Jing happens to be someone with the same overwhelming potential as his. An overall potential beyond SSS rank.
Everyone was delighted and worried at the same time. Saving someone with such overwhelming strength can become the pillar of the family but at the same can become the common enemy of those who is against them. Isn't Marshal Altair's assassinations enough proof? Either way, everyone from the Feng Family is happy.
The results of Feng Jing's latest test of potential were only known by few people from the Feng Clan. Outside only the Altair Couple knew. This is because the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan had given a decree to keep such things as a secret that cannot be shared. Thankfully those who knew were people who swore loyalty to the Feng Clan.
When the morning arrived the next day, everyone had resumed their daily routines. They had all gathered at the dining hall for dinner and all left to work after the meal. The only ones left in the mansion are Marshal Sirius who is rumored to be dead and Feng Jing who still needs time to hatch his egg.
Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu were already informed about Feng Jing's awakening from his slumber. They've also decided to visit him after school.

In the First Military Academy.
Training Hall under the Feng Family.
The students were given a whole month of free training until the competition. Each team was given a training hall and schedules when they could use the gravitation room to train.

Right now, these students were having mecha training in the hall. The one in the temporary lead is Feng Wu but since Navi Nash is always in the way that their battle formation always crumbles.
Navi Nash sarcastically said, "See! This is the reason why guides had to follow after the sentinels. See how the formation has ended, because you have no fighting potential that the formation fails!"
Everyone was displeased with how Navi Nash had spoken but no one could really tell him out that it was his fault that the formation ended like that. Most members of this team were commoners and aides, while Xue Ran, the only one with a noble title who can stop Navi Nash turns a blind eye on them as if the situation had nothing to do with him.
Ever since Navi Nash had joined the team forcefully the training of their group had never progressed.
Feng Wu spoke out, "You know yourself who is really at fault. Ever since you've joined our group you do nothing but look down on your members. When the Lord returns, who will be the first one to get kicked out of the group."
Navi Nash knew this very well. Because Feng Jing hasn't shown himself in the academy, Navi Nash had forgotten about this fact. No faced with this reality, this proud young master could only show his authority and anger by beating up Feng Wu whose position is only an aide and not even full noble blood.
He noticed the eyes of the commoner students looking at him with critiquing eyes and their expressions cannot be called good with their lips pursued into line and their eyebrows frowning at the moment.
He raised his hand and slapped Feng Wu. The latter didn't even flinch when he was hit directly on his cheeks. Navi Nash may be a Sentinel but his overall strength is still a rank lower than Feng Wu who is an SS rank guide. Even if Feng Wu's physique might be a bit weaker than a SS rank Sentinel, an S Rank Sentinel like Navi Nash could never defeat him.
But their standing had been different, Navi Nash might be an illegitimate young master of the Navi Clan but he was still a nobility. While Feng Wu is from the branch family of Feng and their noble title is lower than the Navi Clan.
Feng Wu's expressionless face remained the same as he looked at Navi Nash with dull eyes yet hidden disdain within his red-orange eyes.
SLAPPED!
'If not because this Lord is restricted by the laws of heavens I would have killed you already on the spot, you bug!' thoughts of Feng Wu who was originally Prisoner Yun Ming, the former God of Fate before he became a prisoner.
Navi Nash frowned as he was now trembling in anger, he could see that even though Feng Wu's expression is detached the way he is looking at him is just like grass at the side of the road he would never concern himself with. Thinking that a mere low rank noble is looking down on him makes Navi Nash fall in rage.
"You rude low ranked shit! You and your trashy master should all go to hell!" exclaimed Navi Nash as he changed his hand from an open one to a fist.
"You motherfucking bastard! You dare!" shouted Bai Yuyan while the others had encircled
Bai Yuyan could no longer hold back his anger and cursed out loud intending to beat the shit out of Navi Nash. Seeing that things had gone awry Xue Ran had to step in and stop the fight.
But before Bai Yuyan and Xue Ran reached Navi Nash a shadowy figure flashed before them and reached the stupid young master.
Bai Yuyan and Xue Ran's thoughts, 'So fast!? Who is it?!'
Navi Nash asked in shock, "Who the hell are---Arh!!"
They both stood still and saw a man who looked physically trained and his face was covered with a mask suddenly grabbing Navi Nash's wrist twisting it at an unwanted angle. A sound of agonizing cries comes out from Navi Nash's mouth. His right hand was fully dislocated and he could only struggle with pain on the ground.
"AAAAHHH!!! MY ARM! IT HURTS!!!!" screamed Navi Nash with tears strolling down his ugly mug.
The man whose face is covered and wearing the Feng Family crest is none other than Altair Sirius who came out of the Mansion with his guide. He and Feng Jing were on their way to visit the Dean when his guide decided to surprise his team members and witnessed Navi Nash slapping Feng Wu.
When they witnessed Nash Nash trying to punch Feng Wu for the second attempt before Feng Jing could even make his move the marshal acted as his horse and made a move first. He immediately dislocated Navi Nash's right arm in a few seconds.
Xue Ran vigilantly took a protective stance and stood before his teammates as the strongest and as a sentinel, he was the first one to fight in this group full of guides and ordinary people. Han Ling and Qu Yul also took their stand behind him.
Xue Ran asked, "Who are you? How are you able to enter our training hall? This is the Feng Clan private hall."
While everyone is confused by the sudden arrival of this masked man, the latter ignore their questioning and walk back towards the entrance to reach out his hand like an escort. Feng Jing placed his hand on Sirius and let him hold it as he wanted.
Feng Jing, "Since you knew that this hall is under my Feng Family why is it that you didn't stop that trash before he could even hit my aide?"
Everyone was startled by Feng Jing's sudden arrival. Those who recognized him immediately greeted him respectfully. Even Xue Ran had to lower his head in his presence.
"Greetings to Young Lord Feng!"
Feng Jing smiled at Bai Yuyan and the rest, "Be at ease. This is not such a place for such formality."
"As you wish!"
Seeing the swollen face of Feng Wu, Feng Jing's kind smile instantly faded, he approached his aide and passed to him a healing regent of high purity.
"A'Wu you've done well. Heal your face and leave the rest to me," said Feng Jing.
"Yes, Lord Jing," responded Feng Wu.
Bai Yuyan asked, "Jing, are you able to join the training already?"
"Not today. I should be able to join the day after tomorrow. Don't worry. I am fine, A'Yu." replied Feng Jing.
Bai Yuyan nodded his head. As few people understand Feng Jing's situation, the rest only know that he is suffering from the failure of awakening. No one knew what kind of backlash he received to be out of school for a long time.
Only people like Feng Wu and Bai Yuyan who were directly involved that night understand what is really happening with Feng Jing's situation. They also knew who the person behind that masked figure was. The two of them silently greet the man beside Feng Jing and salute. Marshal Sirius only nods a bit to accept their salute.
Those who didn't know the identity of the masked person only followed Feng Wu and Bai Yuyan's actions and saluted towards the masked man as well. Only the injured Navi Nash and bewildered Xue Ran didn't salute the person who appeared with Feng Jing.
The marshal gestures to them to be at ease with just a hand movement. He didn't utter a single word ever since he appeared in the training hall.
Feng Jing gave Xue Ran an aloof glance before walking towards Navi Nash who was in pain. When he saw Feng Jing's icy expression, Navi Nash recognized that the former soft Feng Jing before was gone and only his scary person wearing the appearance of Feng Jing stood before him.
He started shivering in pain and fear, Navi Nash is now staring at Feng Jing like he is some kind of monster.
"S-S-Sorr...ryy..."
Feng Jing suddenly smiled as he did before but in Navi Nash's eyes that smile is not kind at all but a devil's smile
"I did warn you before. To stay away from Vega Solaris. But not only you ignored my warnings, but you also entered my team without permission and hurt my aide whom I've didn't even hit before.
Not only did you look down on my teammates, but you also pushed your mistakes to others. How shameless could you be? Even worse than trash. Didn't you know that even if I accidentally kill you your Navi Family would even send me a give of compensation? Did you really think that because you are surnamed Navi that your talents would be above others?
Before I awakened I was stronger than you, even if I fail to awaken I will still be stronger than you are. Am I trash or are you? Hm~"
Navi Nash's face turned red in embarrassment and anger. He couldn't believe that a failure like Fang Jing who wasn't even able to awaken as a guide to look down on him like that.
"You!... I'll... Kill you! Greenie!" Navi Nash summoned his quantum beast. An emerald tree boa.
An emerald tree boa is a non-venomous boa species. Adult tree boas grow to about 6 feet in length. They have highly developed front teeth. The color pattern typically consists of an emerald green ground color with a white zigzag stripe or so-called "lightning bolts".
HISSS~
Feng Jing chuckles seeing his quantum beast.
"Heh~ it's just a slightly big green earthworm. Cielo, that snake is a lot larger than this one," murmured Feng Jing.
The Marshal could no longer stay silent hearing his guide call his dragon a snake. He could never understand why his future wife calls his quantum beast a proud dragon king as a snake. He even heard him calling the phoenixes of his own family as chickens.
"Jing'er, my Cielo is not a snake," said Sirius.
Feng Jing pouted and stared at the marshal with inflated cheeks. He looks cute and innocent this way.
"If I say it's a snake and then it's a snake!" said Feng Jing.
'So cute~' The marshal's thoughts who sold his quantum beast and let his future wife call it a snake despite being a dragon with king bloodline.
"Un! Jing'er is right. Cielo is a snake." said the future henpecked husband, Martial Sirius.
The Dragon King, Cielo, didn't know that his own master had sold him to his wife and is known by others as a snake instead of being a proud dragon. If Cielo knew about it, he would cry without question. But right now that dragon king was left in the Feng Mansion incubating his future mate.
On the other hand, the confused other students who don't know who Cielo is but are stunned when they've heard Feng Jing called Navi Nash's Boa type quantum beast an earthworm.
"Who is Cielo? Is Lord Jing calling Young Master Navi's quantum beast an earthworm?!"
Bai Yuyan, "Pfft!~ green earthworm."
Only the sound of Bai Yuyan's laughing echoes in the training hall.
