As they walked, Xin Wuming said, "Be careful, that area is Bloodless' territory. We shouldn't wander too close."

Amon didn't respond. After further walking, Xin Wuming realized that they were walking along the edges of that supposed territory without truly going in.

As they walked, they heard a commotion not far ahead. A student was in a verbal confrontation with three other students. Amon approached them.

"What do you mean this place is not public? Isn't this section free for all students to roam about?" The lone student said.

"We might all be new students here, but you should at least learn the rule fast," One of the three said. "This place is under control by the Bloodless. Unless you wish to join, you have better piss off!"

The lone person looked at the three. He wanted to say something but then decided it was not worth it. He turned around and was about to walk away, but two of the three Bloodless members blocked his path.

"What is it now?" He asked.

"Do you think our territory is one that you can just go in and out as you wish? If you do not wish to join, then you should pay a fine for intruding."

"How absurd! If you don't wish people to go in, then put a sign or something. And aren't you all students as well, who gives you the right to say this is your territory?!"

"Our might gives us right," the Bloodless member said. "Now, give us three hundred aer stones as your apology for trespassing. Or do you prefer a beating?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you, assholes? Come, let me teach–oof…!" One of the Bloodless members stayed behind while his two friends talked with the lone student. Now he had kicked the lone student on his back. The kick was done with martial art. The lone student vomited blood from the sneak attack.

The lone student didn't have the chance to use any art. When he was shoved forward, the two other Bloodless members sent their punches. They were all at the intermediate Strength stage. The lone student was powerless against the three's coordinated attack.

Xin Wuming turned to Amon, who just stood there watching. When the lone student was down on the ground, Amon walked toward them.

One of the Bloodless members saw Amon coming near.

"Are you blind? Do you not see Bloodless members conducting–urgh…!" He didn't finish his sentence as the energy from Amon's Bone Shattering Shadow Fist landed on his face.

Amon's execution of the martial art was close to perfection already, even if not yet grandmaster level. His victim didn't even notice his arm punching out when its fist energy already came slamming into his face.

The two others, who were still harassing the lone student, were taken by surprise when one of them was suddenly thrown back by an assault. When they turned to Amon, Amon had turned invisible. But he suddenly reappeared again with several trails of light following his two fists.

The lights in the form of fists slammed onto the two Bloodless members. They were sent sprawling to the ground.

Amon had controlled the energy so his attacks didn't kill the two. If even Abdu's protective art, who was already a beginning Transformation stage, couldn't protect him against Amon's Silent Swift Shadow Fist, these two's bones would have all been broken if Amon used full strength.

The two were whimpering on the ground. The first one was sitting up with blood leaking out of his nose. "Who… Who are you?! How dare you assault us? Do you know who we are?"

The lone student looked at Amon who had come to his rescue, he was about to say thank you but Amon's cold gaze stopped him.

Amon walked toward the Bloodless member who was covering his nostrils trying to stop the blood from leaking. He grabbed the man's neck and lifted him.

"You go back and tell your people. From now on, there will be a sixth faction in this academy, the Vicious!"

He then violently threw the man as if he was a ragged doll, into where the Bloodless' territory was. The two others who saw Amon's violent act quickly fled back into their territory as well.

After the three left, Amon turned back to the lone student. He stood before him and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ah Bin…," the lone student answered.

Amon threw a recovery pill at him. Ah Bin caught it. He looked at the pill. It's not like he didn't have a recovery pill. He had some, but each pill was precious for him. They were not cheap, after all. Furthermore, he sensed that the pill that Amon had given was of a higher quality than the one he possessed.

"If you wish the power to stand against those oppressors, then join my faction."

After saying his piece, Amon walked away without waiting for the lone student's reply. Xin Wuming hurriedly followed after him. Xin Wuming had originally wanted to join the fight once Amon started taking action, but it was already over before he could do anything.

Ah Bin looked at the two. He hesitated for a bit. When the two almost went out of sight, he finally came to a decision. He swallowed the pill Amon had given and then chased after the two.

Amon continued making his round. He never went into the five faction's territories. He just wandered around the outside and went to defend the ones that had the misfortune of getting bullied by the five factions. As Amon had predicted, there were many such occurrences. When one was in a position of power and could do things without consequences, nine out of ten would abuse the power. Just as the old saying, power corrupts.

He defended those victims and chased away the bullies. Some retreated before a confrontation happened because they all knew about Amon's prowess as the number one candidate. He could be said as the strongest student in the Freshman section. Every student in this section knew him, they didn't dare face him directly. Some required beatings, so Amon gave it to them.

Of the students that were saved, he gave all of them the same offer. Some expressed the desire to join, some didn't. Amon let them make their own choices.

In just one day, talks circulated. Some students who weren't involved roamed around for a chance to see Amon in action. Most were those who had already experienced getting bullied by the factions in prior days. They were eager to see the ones who bullied them getting bullied instead. Some of the ones who managed to catch Amon's act in chasing away the bullies expressed interest in joining.

They of course had the chance to join one of the five factions, but they didn't. Firstly, because they knew they would just be at the bottom of the pool in those factions. They didn't have any connection inside. Secondly, they were young and they grew up admiring stories of heroes who uphold justice. Seeing Amon chasing away the bullies gave them such satisfaction and they wished to be a part of it. The fact that Amon was building a new faction also meant that they had the chance to be at the top if they joined earlier.

Amon's reputation as the first rank in the entrance exam was another reason that had brought about such an interest in them. If it was any other person, they would just think that it was a busybody who didn't know his own strength. As Zhuan San had stated, influence could be helpful in certain circumstances.

Still, there was no way the five factions were letting this go. Where would they put their faces if such atrocities went unpunished?

When the sun was about to set, a large crowd gathered around a garden. This crowd was the collection of the five factions. They numbered around fifty. They were surrounding two people. One was sitting leisurely on a rock overlooking a small pond. The other was standing beside the sitting one. They were Amon and Xin Wuming.

The crowd that surrounded them were all Freshman students, so they knew Amon's reputation. Three of the faction leaders for the freshman year are here. Amon had known about these leaders from Xin Wuming's info. The three who were present were the freshman leaders of Virtuous, Bloodless, and Astute. Their names were Xian Hu, An Ling, and Ming Jin respectively.

The other two factions, Nobles and Heroic, only sent representatives. Maybe because their leaders didn't consider Amon to be worth their time, even if Amon was the first rank student in the entrance exam. Amon knew from Xin Wuming that the leader of the freshman year for Nobles was named Gao Dou, while the Heroic faction was led by Yong Gan. Amon remembered those two were also among the top ten during the second exam.
