Tempest of the Stellar War-Novel2

Chapter 757: Cruel Freshman

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

It is obvious to Luo Fei that Lear was not in a good mood but he just could not understand the reason behind it. Frankly speaking, everything seemed to be in control. They went to check the Runic Mech’s design, it was impeccable and indeed a tailor-made machine for Lear, perfect for his Ares Art. Black Tortoise Region’s Professors were undoubtedly thinking highly on Lear and prepared to invest all their resources in Lear. After all, Hu Kan’s vigor had weakened after his defeat to Olivios. Lear’s potential was much greater than Hu Kan in this case. Moreover, Black Tortoise Region could not afford to lag further behind from the other Regions.

So, why was Lear’s mood worsening when everything was going smoothly? The thought was bothering Luo Fei.

Lear looked at Luo Fei. “Go and check out Li Zhilong.” action

“Li Zhilong?” Luo Fei has not heard about this guy.

“Freshman, from Manalasuo but had transferred to the White Tiger Region,” Lear answered.

Luo Fei soon found out who was Li Zhilong. One of the brightest and most anticipated students amongst the freshman, from the Manalasuo gifted program, hand-picked to be admitted the Elite Academy. He should have gone directly to Vermillion Bird Region, but he had chosen Black Tortoise Region instead. This was undoubtedly a good news to the Professors in Black Tortoise Region as it could break the imbalance development among the four academies. Black Tortoise Region was too weak and it desperately needed new talent. As for issues on region, there have been many exceptions made in the past few years.

Did Li Zhilong’s existence threaten Lear’s status in the Region?

Luo Fei think Lear was over worried. After all, Li Zhilong was just a freshman. Regardless, Luo Fei still did a thorough check on Li Zhilong.

Lear had no choice but to be cautioned. Li Zhilong was different from Wang Zheng or Olivios, Li Zhilong was definitely a stronger opponent and it was apparent why Li Zhilong had chosen the Black Tortoise Region, – Lear. It would be unwise to underestimate anyone’s ability here and Lear clearly knew that Li Zhilong was going to be his biggest opponent. He knew nothing about Li Zhilong vis a vis where Li Zhilong had seen him in the match.

Li Zhilong wasn’t ignorant too. He had quickly contacted his fellows from Manalasuo once arrived at the Region. Manalasuo had been one of the power houses in the Elite Academy. Over the years, they were plenty of bright fighters from Manalsuo.

“Long, I really didn’t expect you to be here. We finally have a prominent leader from Manalasuo,” said the president of the Manalaso’s alumni, Mantle from Vermillion Bird Region’s who was also from the Xuan Grade Class 1.

“Brother, I am on a mission and I would need your help.” Li Zhilong said with a faint smile.

Mantle agreed. Mantle had known Li Zhilong for years. Li Zhilong was the son of the third commander of Manalasuo, Li Jingtian. He had been the face representing the political and military affairs of the youth wing of Manalasuo. The Li’s family had also been one of the most influential families in Manalasuo.

“I want every piece of information that is related to Lear, my goal is to let him drop out of school within a month, or...”

The words was left unfinished, but the intention was clear, Lear’s life.

Only a dead person could not be a successor. Despite the Earth’s continually declining ability over the year, it remained to have a great of influence on the ancient civilization. Li Zhilong was obviously displeased with it.

Mantle frowned slightly, they were in the Elite Academy now, not Manalasuo, there were rules that could not be broken. “Long, we need to watch our steps here, to avoid getting into trouble.”

Li Zhilong waved nonchalantly. “That’s precisely why I came to you. Otherwise, I would have already killed him. He needs to be gone, that’s the main reason why I am here. This is not about me, but the future of our Manalasuo’s Empire”

Mantle’s wasn’t very pleased with the idea. It wasn’t a piece of news that the Li’s were arrogant, but to escalate the matter to the safety of the empire, it seemed absurd to Mantle.

“Okay, I will get you what you need as soon as possible. Lear is not a small fry, he is especially skilled in physical techniques.”

Li Zhilong sneered. “It would be strange if he is not skilled at physical techniques, but he’s not too much a worry. Oh, how about the other guy called Wang Zheng.”

Mantle smiled. “Wang Zheng, Lear, and Achilles are called the three stars of the solar system. These three gave the Elite Academy a great surprise. In the Elite Competition, two emerged as winner, and one entered the to the finals in the Elite game but lost to Marszu.”

“Are the people of Arbiter still so arrogant?”

“The Arbiter’s have always been arrogant. Oh yes, Wang Zheng defeated Aslan’s top fighter, Hocatolin. However, it could perhaps be owed to the fact that the Princess of Aslan and Wang Zheng have a friendly relationship.” Mantle said.

“Aslan’s top fighter, such a stupid boast. He is such a joker to be alive after losing a battle. However, the Aslan’s princess is not bad, I am very interested.” Li Zhilong licked his lips.

Mantle frowned. What was this guy up to? In case anything happened, it could even cause an international dispute.

“Long, I don’t care if you want to mess with other people, but not the Aslan’s Princess. If it is not handled properly, it may be a cause of war between Manalasuo and Aslan.”

“Hng, are we the Manalasuo afraid of them?” Li Zhilong threw his gaze at Mantle. Why would one become so timid after spending 2 years in the Elite Academy.

Mantle shook his head. The Li family had been known to be a radical expansionist, but Mantle remained calm. The Aslan Empire was not what they could resist. “Long, this is not neither fear nor being timid, we cannot underestimate Aslan’s national strength and we can never pave the way for others. If we initiate the disputes, the only beneficiary will be the Arbiter Republic. Let alone that Aslan and Atlantis are close to each other.”

The rhetorical meaning of the Mantle’s words was regardless of how powerful the Li thought they were, they should not underestimate their enemy. Aslan had indeed been the leader of the Galaxy. It was known that the few empires were getting stronger and was not happy with current arrangements in the Galaxy. However, none of them wanted to be first who started the fight. At the minimum, Manalasuo could not be the first.

Messing with Lin Huiyin left no room for negotiations. The Princess was the national symbol of Aslan. Going against the princess’ will equated to hostile actions towards the Aslan Empire.

Mantle was genuinely worried after he saw Li Zhilong indifferent reaction after his words about the princess.

Li Zhilong waved his hand impatiently. “Well, I know, I was just joking. I am sure I can conquer the little girl with my charm, let’s leave this topic for the future. We will first deal with Lear and Wang Zheng, you just have to give me the information and provide a suitable environment, I will deal with the rest.”

Mantle felt dizzy thinking about it, but he could only agree. “Brother, when can we have a party and let’s gather all the beautiful ladies from the Manalasuo. I know we have a lot of them here, ask them all over.”.

Li Zhilong desire could be seen through his eyes and Mantle was really having a headache for now. Why was this guy even here?

Li Zhilong was undoubtedly the brightest student in Manalasuo’s gifted class, but the Li’s family had always refused to let him leave Manalasuo because he had also caused a lot of problems. What had happened to cause this change?

Manalasuo’s students at the Elite Academy were either scions from influential families or talented youngsters and certainly not for Li Zhilong to mess with.

He had to shift Li Zhilong’s attention to Lear and Wang Zheng as soon as possible.

On the other side, Aslan was also holding a welcoming party for Her Royal Highness. Everything was in the right order and elegant was the only words to describe the party. Not to mention Lin Huiyin has been maintaining her stature as a princess.

Only Wang Zheng regarded Huiyin as a small child.

Although they had not sent any guards from Aslan, there had always been someone from Aslan with the princess. On one hand, it was to ensure safety, on the other hand, it also helped the Princess to blend into the environment. It was always a great idea that the Princess’ wanted to be independent... However it was not a practical one for her subordinates.

Not to mention that everyone was doing it willingly. There were strict selections to even just be the “Princess’ follower”, those with poor results were out of the picture.

It caught Wang Zheng off guard that Huiyin was handling the situation with such ease. After all, Huiyin was trained in royal etiquette since young. A tsunami to Wang Zheng would probably just be a ripple to Huiyin when it came to public event hostings.

However, the party did not last for too long. The princess ended it in the name of not wasting everyone’s time. In fact, Huiyin just couldn’t wait to go home.

Wang Zheng has been drowning himself with various activities as well, he went for his daily physical training after he left Butcher’s place. There would be a Genesis Coffee gathering this weekend and Wang Zheng had to join. Xiao Fei would be there too. Wang Zheng received countless help from the seniors ever since he joined the club, including helping KING company to get out of the predicament. In addition, it would always be beneficial to listen to the senior’s advice.

Wang Zheng was really touched by Butcher’s and Gail’s selfless care towards him. Wang Zheng would not have been saved by the rescue team if it wasn’t because of both of them whom refused to give up on any hope when he was trapped in the abyss.

Back at the dormitory, Wang Zheng saw Huiyin curled up on his sofa and watching TV.

Wang Zheng asked jokingly. “You wrench, the party ended?”

“Yeah, it was just a meeting. I just had to say Hi to everyone. Why were you so late, did you go on a date?” Asked Huiyin.

“No, I just ended training. Why did you drop by? It’s late and what would happen if someone sees you?” Wang Zheng was indifferent but he was worried for the trouble that he would cause for Huiyin.

The Aslan’s Royal family had long regarded him as an eyesore because of Aina, Wang Zheng wondered why Huiyin wasn’t afraid of getting into the same trouble.
