Chapter 68: King Lu Zhe (1/2)
Chapter 68: King Lu Zhe
On the day of competition, it was sunny and Huang Xiaolong came out from his room and saw Fei Hou waiting for him respectfully in the yard.
When Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, Wang Ning, and the three Marshal Mansion’s guards arrived at the Academy square, a sea of people already gathered on the Academy grounds.
Because today was the Academy’s annual class and year competition, the Academy’s authorities had specifically allowed each student to bring their families or servants to enter the Academy and watch the competition.
Of course, each student can only bring up to five people.
Coming onto the Academy grounds, Huang Xiaolong and his group of six headed straight to the Holy Hall.
The Academy’s Holy Hall was a few times bigger than the front square; even if tens of thousands people were crammed inside, it doesn’t feel crowded at all.
“That’s Huang Xiaolong!”
“He is this year’s new batch student, Huang Xiaolong? I heard Jiang Teng already broke through the Fifth Order but was nearly ‘wasted’ by him yesterday!”
When the crowd saw Huang Xiaolong stepping into the Holy Hall, a buzz erupted amongst the people around. Huang Xiaolong, although a new student was already famous throughout the Academy to the point even the older students and teachers all recognized him.
Ignoring the hush-voiced discussions around him, Huang Xiaolong came to a corner of the hall and stood with Fei Hou and the four guards.
“Xiaolong!” At this time, a pleasant and surprised voice cried out. Huang Xiaolong turned to look and saw a happy Li Lu running towards him. Huang Xiaolong smiled at Li Lu.
“I heard this time, not only the King is coming to watch the competition, Marshal Haotian is also coming!”
“Marshal Haotian is also coming? The rumor flying around is, that super-abnormal monster Huang Xiaolong is Marshal Haotian’s illegitimate son, don’t know if this is true or not?”
Once again, the crowd roared with this piece of news.
Listening to these people’s words in his ear, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile in bitterness.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong felt a cold, piercing stare on his body; turning around towards the source, Huang Xiaolong saw Zhong Yuan standing in a group of people.
In front of Zhong Yuan stood an imposing young man around eighteen to nineteen years old, encircled by a group of flattering students of both genders. From the looks of it, this young man should be the Prince of the Luo Tong Kingdom, Lu Kai. Also, he was the strongest First Year student according to everyone.
At this point, Lu Kai felt Huang Xiaolong’s gaze and two set of eyes met midair.
“He is Huang Xiaolong?” Lu Kai’s mouth opened and asked to no one in particular.
“Yes, he is that Huang Xiaolong!” Zhong Yuan stepped up and replied immediately.
Lu Kao nodded; his expression was the same the whole time, completely unperturbed.
As time flowed, the number of people gathering in the Holy Hall became more and more, and some time later, from outside the Holy Temple sounded a loud voice announcing, “The King, Marshal, and Principal have arrived!”
King Lu Zhe, Marshal Haotian, and Cosmic Star Academy’s Principal, Sun Zhang, arrived together!
Instantly, Huang Xiaolong and everyone else in the hall turned around to look at the entrance. At the entrance, a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow dragon robe walked majestically and strode into the Holy Hall under the protection of a group of bodyguards. Without a doubt, that middle-aged man was the Luo Tong Kingdom’s King, Lu Zhe, and half a step behind him was Marshal Haotian, and the Cosmic Star Academy Principal, Sun Zhang.
With King Lu Zhe’s arrival, the crowd quickly saluted, and the crowd began to noisily chatter in the Holy Hall.
“Hehe, everyone rise, stand up!” King Lu Zhe stepped up to the specially prepared guest of honor main platform and sat on the main seat. Marshal Haotian and Principal Sun Zhang sat on each side next to the King.
After the three ‘biggest’ people were seated, the rest of the nobles followed suit and sat down.
