Wang Zhan pondered, a faint smile on his lips, as he took a aningful look at Chu Yuming.
So this was a case of 'better you than ,' huh?
Even if there were so signs of probing or vigilance in this situation, Wang Zhan wasn't interested in the slightest. For him, he didn't know when it started, but it seed as if youthful impetuousness was already sowhat out of place. Only strength was what truly mattered.
So, he just smiled faintly.
"As for strength, who can understand it completely without reaching the Limit? And if I say sothing, would you simply believe it? How about this: whoever sent you to ask , have him join
in the ring. What do you say to risking his life for ten million?"
Chu Yuming's heart tightened at these words.
Wang Zhan was getting harder to deal with than before. He was once an ordinary student, though slightly exceptional in so respects.
Chu Yuming had even considered challenging him, to see if those old figures would reap any unexpected benefits from him, and at the sa ti warn them not to impose those hackneyed and rigid rules on them.
But it was only from this mont on that Chu Yuming confird that Wang Zhan was truly different from before.
He now had absolute confidence in himself and naturally possessed the standing to make others listen to him.
Although Chu Yuming was not oblivious to the intentions of the senior students who had pushed him forward, he thought it would be a simple matter, and he was curious, so why not do them a favor?
But Chu Yuming, his nostrils already detecting a hint of blood, understood.
Wang Zhan was no longer soone he could afford to ss with; he had to give up.
Thus, Chu Yuming shook his head and smiled indifferently.
"We are all students, after all, so let's not resort to a fight to the death. I'll introduce you to them when I get the chance. Although they all co from deeply-rooted Families, their personal strengths are not to be underestimated either. I believe you could beco good friends."
Wang Zhan did not express any opinion. Under the scorching sun, he smiled brilliantly.
"Who knows? Let's leave these things that have yet to happen to fate."
Friend or foe, Wang Zhan didn't feel his strength had developed to a point where those prodigies would take him seriously. So, he reckoned their appearance certainly hid so agenda.
Furthermore, Wang Zhan had just landed on Earth when he already sensed ill intent from certain people, which made him even more cautious and curious. He wondered if it was related to the original organization or so other interesting events.
Presently, Chu Yuming decided to back down. Considering Wang Zhan's unfathomable strength and concealed killing intent, he didn't attempt to probe any further. He simply guided Wang Zhan through the Federal Martial Arts Academy, dutifully playing the role of a guide.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already toured the Federal Martial Arts Academy for nearly two hours, with Chu Yuming falling two steps behind Wang Zhan.
Only two steps, neither too close nor too far, yet it was like a world apart.
Suddenly, Wang Zhan asked, "Even though this is only our third eting, I think you must be eager to fight . Why don't we have a friendly exchange right here?"
This was a playing field. The grass was lush and verdant, and looking into the distance, you could see the scenery of the wilderness area.
The Federal Martial Arts Academy was located right by the Jing State City area.
But even Wang Zhan didn't understand the purpose of its layout and secrecy after exploring all over the campus precincts.
Without a doubt, there was a profound aning everywhere.
Perhaps this was the heritage the Federation possessed!
Facing Wang Zhan's challenge, Chu Yuming's aura exploded montarily, but he quickly reined it in as if he was suppressing the fighting intent inside him.
In fact, from the mont Wang Zhan ntioned the challenge, Chu Yuming's vital energy was activated, making him more vigilant and glimpsing the tip of the iceberg of Wang Zhan's profound strength.
However, even so, Chu Yuming was still composed and responded with a asured smile, "Never mind, I am not your match at the mont. Although I am curious, curiosity does not equate to seeking abuse."
Or perhaps, courting death?
Chu Yuming knew it in his heart but did not show it.
As they passed a couple of Teaching Buildings, Wang Zhan, who beca increasingly noticeable with Chu Yuming by his side, naturally attracted so attention.
"Who's that?"
"I feel like I've seen him before, but I can't rember for the life of …"
"Is Junior Brother Yuming acting as a guide for that person?"
On the top floor, several students who had already reached the Martial General Realm found their pupils contracting the more they watched.
Is... is he just a Martial Master? Why do I feel threatened?
In fact, they all felt it.
As long as their line of sight remained on Wang Zhan, they would feel a slight sting, as if they were spying on a beast they shouldn't provoke.
How could this be?
They were true geniuses, in their early twenties, yet they had already reached the Martial General Realm.
Even if they were at a low rank, and might not be able to maintain this pace in the future, it didn't impair their judgnt.
"He's sensed us; he's watching us..."
Their faces subtly changed.
"Never mind, let's not bother him. Later we'll ask Junior Brother Yuming about him, to see who this guy really is..."
"Could he be a high-profile seed from one of the noble families? They should also have this kind of strength, right?"
"Impossible. They usually don't co out, and even if they do, they won't join the Federation. I heard from our ntor that the current Earth Federation is only a Trial Grounds created to make miracles happen for us students..."
As they whispered to each other, Wang Zhan, who sensed their probing, nonchalantly turned his head.
But after glancing briefly, his eyes squinted slightly, and then he smiled, as if expressing his goodwill.
Regardless of the reason, Chu Yuming whispered a reminder, "Although I'm reluctant to remind you, as a peer, I feel it's necessary to tell you a fact."
"Go ahead."
Wang Zhan listened, slightly pausing his steps, taking Chu Yuming's advice seriously and respectfully.
Chu Yuming's gaze beca complicated.
In the past, due to so inexplicable arrangents from the ntors or so rebellious feelings within him, he had allowed all the opportunities to take the lilight to fall on Wang Zhan, while he silently watched from behind.
But since when had it started? When it ca to Wang Zhan, perhaps only his own family background and extensive knowledge gave Chu Yuming a slight sense of superiority, yet he found himself willingly letting Wang Zhan walk ahead of him.
Moreover, had he started to feel willing to let this happen?
"...Don't just look at their low strengths and consider them inconsequential. In fact, you don't know their trump cards; you don't know what kind of backing they possess. Hence, you might get only one opportunity, whereas they... they have countless!"
Wang Zhan nodded appreciatively but also raised a profound question, casting a aningful stare at Chu Yuming, "Does this include you too?"
"It includes
too!"
With a solemn expression, Chu Yuming spoke. Wang Zhan laughed heartily.
"I think you're overly worried. In fact, I have zero interest in them. All I want to do now is to figure out how to beco stronger and survive on the Star War Battlefield... Well, you should know what the Star War Battlefield is, so I guess I'm not breaking any rules."
However, Chu Yuming didn't know that while Wang Zhan could bid farewell gracefully after speaking, he himself could not. This made Chu Yuming feel even more weighed down, and Wang Zhan's retreating figure seed increasingly daunting.
He went to the Star War Battlefield and survived?
Could it be that this pressing obsession with survival, deep within Wang Zhan's heart, was the real reason he had co this far, leaving him leagues behind in the blink of an eye?
Chu Yuming contemplated as he looked into the sunset.
Although he spent a lot of ti today acting as Wang Zhan's guide, the re existence of Wang Zhan was in itself a gain for him.
It was a sense of... urgency in the face of pressure, and a craving to beco stronger!
Chu Yuming even wondered if he should get closer to Wang Zhan. After all, pressure breeds progress.
Chu Yuming knew he'd be unable to catch up with Wang Zhan's pace in a short ti. Even though Wang Zhan had never overtly displayed his full capabilities, Chu Yuming was unwilling to concede...
"Hello, may I confirm if you're Student Wang Zhan?"
As Wang Zhan was about to step up the staircase, a strongly built middle-aged man in black formal attire stopped him in his tracks.
While the man's facial expression seed artificially mild, there was still a stiffness coming from deep within his heart, coupled with a vigilant gaze towards his Surroundings.
Wang Zhan's brow arched slightly.
Good grief, he's a genuine Martial King!
Upon determining the man's strength, Wang Zhan maintained an aloof smile, neither too friendly nor too distant, and asked, "Who are you?"
Internally, though, he tensed.
His vital energy surged. Even the mad man—that idiot confined to an energy body—was roused, ready to buy him precious ti if this Martial King showed any sign of malice.
After all, if a Martial King got close with malicious intent, it would truly be a life-threatening situation!
The man gave a stiff smile, akin to a puppet manipulated by strings.
It was evident that he was normally a very serious person, as every movent carried that distinct air of seriousness.
"I am Chen San, Captain of the First Brigade of the Jing State Internal Affairs Departnt. I have co on behalf of the State Governor. I hope Student Wang Zhan will allow
to escort him to et the Governor!"
BA-DUMP...
Wang Zhan's steady heartbeat suddenly hamred once. Then, he looked deeply at the man before him—this Captain from the Jing State Internal Affairs Departnt—and then at... his identification!
So that's how it is.
This must be a confidant of the State Governor. But why would such an important figure want to see ?
Wang Zhan didn't know that his last disappearance not only aroused concern from his mother and the person he cared for but also the imnse forces behind Qin Ying.
Just like a little butterfly, variables started to flutter under the clear blue sky.
Everything before him was only the beginning.
"Alright!"
