Chapter 67: The Academy’s Annual Competition Begins (2/2)
“Oh, Luo Tong Kingdom’s prince?” Huang Xiaolong was a little surprised at the information.
“Yes, Young Master!” Fei Hou said, “The Luo Tong Kingdom’s King, Lu Zhe, is very attentive towards this son, and I also heard the King will attend tomorrow’s Academy matches.”
“King Lu Zhe will come to watch the competition.” Again, Huang Xiaolong was surprised; it seemed that the Luo Tong Kingdom’s ruler attached great importance to this son.
“Moreover, this Lu Kai has some relation to Young Master.” Fei Hou continued to elaborate, “The bet between Young Master and Zhong Yuan five months ago, does Young Master remember? If Young Master takes the first place for the First Year’s competition, the Principal will expel him from the Academy. Lu Kai is Zhong Wangfei’s son!”
Zhong Wangfei’s son!
This time, Huang Xiaolong was truly shocked.
Zhong Wangfei was Zhong Yuan’s elder sister. This meant that Lu Kai was Zhong Yuan’s nephew and Zhong Yuan was Lu Kai’s Uncle.
Lu Kai, Huang Xiaolong repeated the name once in his heart.
Seventh Order huh? Looks like the First Year competition tomorrow will be a little more meaningful.
“Young Master, in fact, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t take the first spot in the First Year’s competition. Young Master is still very young, only ten years old, whereas that Lu Kai is already nineteen!” Seeing Huang Xiaolong in deep thought, Fei Hou assumed Huang Xiaolong was worried about the competition tomorrow, so he spoke some words of comfort.
Sovereign’s talent can be described as monstrous and was strong compared to others of the same age, but in Fei Hou’s opinion, it was still too difficult for him to win against a Seventh Order warrior.
On hearing Fei Hou’s words, Huang Xiaolong laughed lightly; waving his hand and changing the topic, he asked Fei Hou about his progress in the ‘Liquid Thunder Arts.'
And Fei Hou answered truthfully.
“Oh right, I have something for you two.” Some time later, Huang Xiaolong remembered something and took out ten pieces of cycad fruit.
“These are cycad fruit!” Staring wide-eyed at the cycad fruit in Huang Xiaolong’s palm, Fei Hou exclaimed out loud in surprise. When Li Lu heard what Fei Hou said, her eyes too opened wide in surprise.
“Yes, these are cycad fruits.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, “The little guy found it while we were training in the Silvermoon Forest.”
At this moment, the little violet monkey (who was seated beside him) squeaked proudly, both tiny hands gesturing. He obviously was showing off in front of Fei Hou and Li Lu. The little violet monkey’s cute antics made the three people in the hall burst out in laughter.
But, finding these cycad fruits was something that one can be proud of.
Huang Xiaolong divided the fruits and gave Fei Hou and Li Lu five each.
A short while later, Fei Hou and Li Lu left the main hall. Huang Xiaolong also left and went to his courtyard to practice the Asura Demon Claw.
Not long later, Marshal Haotian got the message that Sovereign was back from the Silvermoon Forest and quickly went over to Tianxuan Mansion from the Marshal Mansion. Marshal Haotian also mentioned Lu Kai to Huang Xiaolong with a worried tone.
It seems not only the Academy’s teachers and students, even Fei Hou and Haotian, don’t believe I can get the first place ah, Huang Xiaolong thought to himself inside.
Night slowly descended.
Moonlight shone brightly over the land.
Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed as the twin dragon martial spirits greedily devoured the netherworld spiritual energy.
One night passed peacefully just like that.
Replaced with warm sunlight, the day of Cosmic Star Academy’s annual event – the day of the class and year competition had finally arrived.
