When Zhou Tie and Qiu Jiawen, looking utterly exhausted, delivered the Thousand chanisms Ring to Ling Zhan, there were only two days left until the Global Tournant.
"Mission accomplished!"
These two master craftsn had worked tirelessly day and night to et Ling Zhan's exacting requirents.
In response, Ling Zhan generously paid an additional 200,000 Tianyan Board points as a reward.
Tianyan Board points are highly valuable to these master craftsn. They can be used to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle and purchase rare items that are otherwise unobtainable.
On this very day, the legendary prodigy Li Zhaoge returned to campus from her family estate.
Ling Zhan had heard much about this prodigy during his als at the cafeteria and visits to the library. Even the renowned Zhu Yaoguang, who was famous across provinces in her senior year, was nicknad "Little Zhaoge" by others.
For Ling Zhan, his curiosity about Li Zhaoge was purely about her strength. After all, if both he and Li Zhaoge reached the finals in the individual competition, a showdown would be inevitable.
With departure imminent, Ling Zhan allowed himself a rare mont of relaxation, taking a break from his usual rigorous training. The three divine beast girls also finally enjoyed a well-deserved rest after their grueling training.
Having completed the system's daily challenge, Ling Zhan packed his luggage and set up a one-month smart offline managent system for his mansion. The advanced AI technology ensures that even if the owner is away for a long ti, cleaning and maintenance robots will keep the house in perfect order.
With everything prepared, Ling Zhan settled down with a book, ready to drift into a peaceful sleep, awaiting the departure the next day.
anwhile, in the luxurious conference room of the student council at Tianyan Academy, a eting was underway.
The long ten-ter table was surrounded by student council mbers, all wearing the academy's robes. However, they all sat with cautious and respectful silence, sneaking glances at the elegant figure sitting at the head of the table.
Their eyes were filled with awe and admiration, not just for her formidable strength but also for the illustrious family backing her.
Dressed in a simple white dress, Li Zhaoge exuded an air of absolute coldness. Even just sitting there, she commanded attention like an ice queen.
Beside her, a seductive woman in red, with fox ears and nine bushy tails, radiated a charm that stirred n's desires. This was Li Zhaoge's contracted divine beast, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
The contrast between the cold elegance of Li Zhaoge and the alluring charm of the fox made for a stunning sight.
However, none of the student council mbers dared to openly gaze at them. The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, despite her lazy and seductive deanor, had a notoriously volatile temper. Any perceived disrespect could be t with lethal consequences.
Early in her freshman year, a senior who had been infatuated with her learned this the hard way. His advances led to him being severely maid and subjected to a torturous death.
As a result, the student council mbers now sat in tense silence.
Li Zhaoge, with her refined makeup and icy beauty, calmly read the projected virtual information panel displaying Ling Zhan's profile.
"Do you like this type?" teased the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, laughing softly.
Li Zhaoge ignored her, instead turning to a student council mber. "Did He Chuan lose to him?"
The mber quickly nodded.
"Do you have the battle footage?" she asked.
"Yes, I will play it for you now," he replied.
Soon, a video screen projected the battle. The student council mbers, having seen it multiple tis, remained composed. They still couldn't figure out how Ling Zhan had defeated He Chuan.
However, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's deanor changed from playful to serious, and even the usually cold Li Zhaoge appeared solemn.
Without hesitation, Li Zhaoge watched the battle footage five or six tis.
anwhile, He Chuan, who was present, felt deeply embarrassed.
"My lady, this person also has contracts with three other divine beasts: the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, and the Jade Rabbit," reminded a bespectacled girl.
"Summon him to the student council imdiately," ordered the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox before Li Zhaoge could respond.
A council mber hurried off, only to return two minutes later, looking uncomfortable.
"President, Ling Zhan refused your invitation. He said he’s preparing to sleep," he reported.
He Chuan, attempting to mask his embarrassnt with a sip of tea, promptly spat it out in shock.
