Section 7: Fame at a Young Age, A Heart of Innocence

  "No problem, of course not." The scholar who had shouted earlier was now radiant and sparkling as he looked at Chu Yun with a burst of excitement.

  "Chu Yun, aren't you the young master of Chuyun Island from Shujia Island?" someone hastily asked for confirmation.

  "It's exactly below."

  "Oh heavens! I've finally seen the real thing!"

  "We've waited for such a long time, and finally we get to see each other."

  "Just to see this year's newcomer king, I chose this task of distributing jade pendants. It's exhausting me."

  The people in the academy were discussing it, and from their tone, they didn't seem to be the teachers of the academy, but rather high-ranking students.

  The young men were filled with doubts, and one by one they cast curious, measuring, suspicious, and scrutinizing glances at Chu Yun. They were puzzled, but Chu Yun was even more perplexed.

  "To save his adoptive father, he braved the stormy seas and slaughtered the pirate wolves. The renowned 'Young Tiger', I never thought I'd meet the real person!"

  "Do you know that you've already been ranked on the Jun Jie Bang? With the honor title of 'Tiger Cub' as a demon-subduing master?! The academy has been buzzing with discussions about you these past few days."

  "At the age of 13, he can already control the Great Demon Soldier and has obtained many honorary titles that demon masters have been dreaming of day and night. Tsk tsk, so many people in the academy are jealous to the point of madness."

  "At 13 years old, you've already obtained a title. This record is unprecedented in the history of the academy! Do you know that everyone already considers you to be the 'Strongest Newcomer'?"

  "But you're in trouble too, aren't you? I heard you publicly rejected Ning's proposal and humiliated our school's flower. Haha, Ning Yiyi has a bad temper, and there are many suitors waiting for her, all eager to take action."

  ……

  The people in the academy were like they had been injected with chicken blood, and they became excited. The eyes looking at Chu Yun burned with a fierce eight trigrams soul fire.

  The boys around also cast various glances. There was jealousy, surprise, sudden realization, and disdain...

  In short, Chu Yun became the focus of everyone's attention in an instant. He was pushed to the forefront and became the central figure of the whirlpool.

  Chu Yun never expected this.

  Young tiger?

  Unexpectedly, he got such a title. He can understand the jealousy of others very well. The honorary title is an affirmation of the achievement and strength of a demon master. Only a demon master with a title can be considered a famous expert. Wherever you go, report your title, and immediately attract countless admiring eyes.

  There are even many times when the title completely covers up the original name. People talk about it with relish, only remembering the title and not remembering the original name of the title holder.

  Zanlang is a title, Baihe is a title, and Baimei Dan Shi is also a title. In his previous life, Chuyun obtained a title at the age of 30 - Huohu Gongzi. It was he who relied on the imperfect Tianhu, after hundreds of battles big and small, to create this reputation. Later, when Tianhu fell, this title was abolished and disappeared.

  It's hard for a master to get a title. Especially when you're young, it's even harder. Those who have obtained the title are all famous figures with their own strengths.

  "I really didn't expect it, I unexpectedly got the title so early. Young Tiger, is it related to Father's title, Shōsei Mōko? It doesn't sound bad."

  Chu Yun smiled slightly, but in her heart, she was calm and peaceful.

  Young people are infatuated with fame and pursue wealth, so they tirelessly yearn for the glory of titles. However, Chu Yun has already passed that age. The memories of his past life told him a truth:

  All titles are empty. Real strength is the foundation. Even with or without a title, it doesn't matter. It's just someone else acknowledging one's name.

  "Obtaining the title was indeed a surprise. However, all of you are talents nurtured by Tian Ge Academy, and one day you will also get the title. Can I have my jade pendant back?" Chu Yun bowed slightly to the academy staff, if he wasn't mistaken, these people should be students from previous years, or in other words, his seniors.

  "Hehe, Zhi Hu, you're really too modest. Titles aren't something you can just wish for." The scholars in front of him shook their heads and sighed, then pulled out a jade pendant that had been prepared earlier and handed it to Chu Yun.

  "Here you are, don't lose it. The identity jade pendant is a rare item among the demon soldiers of the infantile level, containing weak spiritual energy, and can record academic credits. The procedures for reissuance are very troublesome, especially when the credits are cleared to zero, and you will cry to death at that time." The staff of the academy were warmly taking care of him, with an attitude completely different from before.

  "What's with the credits?" Chu Yun asked in surprise.

  "I'd rather not say more, it's quite important. Just enter the academy and you'll understand slowly." The staff member said in a low voice, gritting his teeth as he glanced at White Eyebrow Dan Master not far away.

  "I understand." Chu Yun nodded and took the jade pendant. Just as she was about to walk away, she slowed down her pace, "By the way, don't call me Zhi Hu anymore. Call me Chu Yun instead. I still like this name better."

  The staff of the academy were stunned.

  Why not use the title of honor, but instead call out the real name?

  The people in the academy scratched their heads, and for a while, they couldn't understand what this "New King" was thinking.

  "Whether it's the Young Tiger of this life or the Fire Fox Gentleman of the previous one, they're just titles. What remains unchanged is Chu Yun!"

  I am who I am, and will not neglect my true surname and name just because of what others call me.

  Always be myself, regardless of what others say.

  As she walked past the gatehouse, Chu Yun suddenly felt a sense of melancholy and turned back to look.

  The gate tower is tall and grand, with vermilion lacquer and golden patterns. The door pillars and lintels are painted with various mythical creatures. The base is made of dark grey stone bricks, engraved with the marks of time. The entire gate tower is exquisite and luxurious, yet not lacking in a sense of vicissitudes.

  Gate tower, gate tower.

  How many years of wind and rain, you stand among them without falling.

  Sit and watch the wind rise and clouds surge, quietly await the changes in worldly affairs.

  How many young heroes, elegant scholars and brave warriors have passed away under your feet?

  In the past, these people were like chattering young boys, lining up in your gaze, one by one entering the green hills and delving into the academy.

  How much joy and sorrow, parting and reunion, bitterness and hardship have you witnessed?

  And then, these people with flourishing wings set sail from here again, fighting against the vast sky.

  How many legends of returning home in glory, how many stories of dressing up and returning to one's hometown, add luster to your already resplendent life.

  Now it's my turn, Chu Yun!

  I can only say, brothers are too fierce! This day is coming, and three chrysanthemums have exploded. From the target, it's really not far away. Recommendation votes are all coming over, we all need them. Launch a general attack and take down the chrysanthemum array!
