I Am Overlord

ake their words to heart.
He increased the speed at which he finished his wine before calling over the waiter to settle the bill.

“Dear customer, your bill comes to a total of 10 points.
Please present your jade plate to pay,” the waiter politely said, although his eyes betrayed the doubt that was present within him.
Even the waiter thought the brat was just another one of the outer court disciples here to eat without paying.
Taking note of the way the waiter was looking at him, Xiang Shaoyun took out the jade plate and slammed it right into the table.

Pa!

“Take it,” Xiang Shaoyun said with an unconcealed trace of pride.

Cultivators must have an unyielding backbone, one that will never break.
These were words that his father had taught him.
Never in his wildest dreams had the waiter thought Xiang Shaoyun would actually be able to produce a jade plate.
Examining the jade plate, he cried out in shock, “Th-this is the jade plate given by the Hall of Limits!”

“What’s wrong? Is there an issue?” Xiang Shaoyun snapped back at him.

“No, there’s no issue at all.
Furthermore, since you are in possession of a jade plate from the Hall of Limits, you are entitled to 40 percent off your total bill.
Hence, you only need to pay 6 points now!” The waiter’s attitude had done an entire 180-degree turn, his tone now taking on a tinge of respect.

A disciple able to surpass one of the limits would have a vast future ahead of him and was not someone a mere waiter at a restaurant could afford to offend.

“There’s something like this here? Not bad at all.” Xiang Shaoyun indifferently laughed.

After he finished settling Xiang Shaoyun’s bill, the waiter returned the jade plate and even respectfully said, “Please keep it well, young master.”

His address changing from customer to young master was indeed swift.

Xiang Shaoyun lightly laughed before saying, “In the future, before you act like such a snob, just remember that the river flows 30 years to the east and 30 years to the west.
Who can say what will happen tomorrow?”

“Of course, of course,” the waiter immediately answered.

Xiang Shaoyun’s words fell on the ears of the inner court disciples nearby, giving them a very unpleasant feeling as if he was countering everything they had said about him before.

The inner court disciple who had been the first to ridicule Xiang Shaoyun stood up and pointed at him, saying, “Just a mere sixth-stage Basic Realm brat dares to spout such nonsense? Yeah, I don’t think there’s a need for you to vie for the position of an inner court disciple anymore.”

Xiang Shaoyun turned back to look at the inner court disciple who had just spoken and said, “What right do you think you have to cut short my path forward?”

“By the fact that my name is Wang Yang!” the inner court disciple replied, proud as a peacock.

Wang Yang was one of the top 15 disciples in the inner court.
Just from this alone, he did indeed possess the ability to halt the progress of a majority of the outer court disciples.

One ought to know that the difference between inner and outer court disciples was like that of the sky and the ground.
Every single inner court disciple was an individual who had successfully condensed astral energy.
They had reached the point of refining strength into qi and separating their astral energy from their physical bodies, giving them immense combat ability.

Taking care of an outer court disciple would just be a walk in the park for any inner court disciple, much less one ranked within the top 15.
As it was approaching dinnertime, numerous disciples began streaming into the restaurant.
They had just stepped foot into the restaurant when they heard Wang Yang arguing with an outer court disciple.
Not wanting to miss out on the fun, they couldn’t help but draw closer.

“Wang Yang…,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered, seemingly in a daze.

“Hmph, so you do know fear! If you’re sensible, then get the hell over here and apologize! Oh, give me all of your points as well, otherwise…” Wang Yang sneered arrogantly.

Before he had even finished speaking, however, Xiang Shaoyun began digging his ears as he indifferently replied, “Never heard of you before.”

Xiang Shaoyun’s actions and manner of speech were full of provocation, leaving a very foul taste in Wang Yang’s mouth.
To him, as one of the top 15 disciples of the inner court, being humiliated as such by a mere outer court disciple was no different from directly smacking him in the face.
