<h4>Chapter 757: Cruel Freshman</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Abyssruler <strong>Editor: </strong>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 impable and indeed a tailor-made machine for Lear, perfect for his Ares Art. ck 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, ck Tortoise Region could not afford tog 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.”


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


    “Freshman, from Mansuo 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 Mansuo gifted program, hand-picked to be admitted the Elite Academy. He should have gone directly to Vermillion Bird Region, but he had chosen ck Tortoise Region instead. This was undoubtedly a good news to the Professors in ck Tortoise Region as it could break the imbnce development among the four academies. ck 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 ck 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 Mansuo once arrived at the Region. Mansuo 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 Mansuo,” said the president of the Manso’s alumni, Mantle from Vermillion Bird Region’s who was also from the Xuan Grade ss 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 thirdmander of Mansuo, Li Jingtian. He had been the face representing the political and military affairs of the youth wing of Mansuo. The Li’s family had also been one of the most influential families in Mansuo.


    “I want every piece of information that is rted 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 sessor. 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 Mansuo, there were rules that could not be broken. “Long, we need to watch our steps here, to avoid getting into trouble.”


    Li Zhilong waved nonchntly. “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 Mansuo’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 escte 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 sr 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 An’s top fighter, Hocatolin. However, it could perhaps be owed to the fact that the Princess of An and Wang Zheng have a friendly rtionship.” Mantle said.


    “An’s top fighter, such a stupid boast. He is such a joker to be alive after losing a battle. However, the An’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 An’s Princess. If it is not handled properly, it may be a cause of war between Mansuo and An.”


    “Hng, are we the Mansuo afraid of them?” Li Zhilong threw his gaze at Mantle. Why would one be 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 An Empire was not what they could resist. “Long, this is not neither fear nor being timid, we cannot underestimate An’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 An and Antis 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. An had indeed been the leader of the Gxy. It was known that the few empires were getting stronger and was not happy with current arrangements in the Gxy. However, none of them wanted to be first who started the fight. At the minimum, Mansuo could not be the first.


    Messing with Lin Huiyin left no room for negotiations. The Princess was the national symbol of An. Going against the princess’ will equated to hostile actions towards the An 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 beautifuldies from the Mansuo. 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 Mansuo’s gifted ss, but the Li’s family had always refused to let him leave Mansuo because he had also caused a lot of problems. What had happened to cause this change?


    Mansuo’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, An was also holding a weing 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 An, there had always been someone from An 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 notst 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 ce. 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 KINGpany 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 sote, did you go on a date?” Asked Huiyin.


    “No, I just ended training. Why did you drop by? It’ste 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 An’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.
