Chapter 53 - Tang Ling’s Entrance (1/2)

“Orston isn’t bad either. He’s considered a standout even in the First Reserved Camp in the past five years.”

Maybe because of the awkward atmosphere between the deputy speaker and Fei Long, Alan braced himself and toned down the awkwardness.

Fei Long and the deputy speaker did not object to his suggestion either. The high-profile Orston was also considered a surprise given his performance.

Then, Fei Long lazily stretched his body and walked to the door. “There’s nothing else to watch. I’m leaving. Chrissy is waiting for me.”

When Chrissy’s name was mentioned, the deputy speaker revealed a trace of jealousy in his eyes. As the number one girl in the Silver Palace, which was the biggest entertainment place in the sector, many men longed to approach her, but no one dared to do so because she was exclusively Fei Long’s woman.

“Fei Long, there’s one more kid left. Don’t you want to finish watching?” Alan stopped Fei Long.

“Not interested.” Fei Long opened the door.

“But Su Yao brought him in,” Alan simply said, and after a short unintelligible mutter later, he added, “but on second thought, never mind. I’m not as interested as well.”

However, Fei Long stopped mid-step. He thought about it for a while and decided to return to the screen.

Truth be told, he stood by his opinion. So what if Su Yao brought the kid in?

However, he assumed that it would not take a lot of his time. He actually wanted to see what surprising thing would Su Yao do if the kid that he brought failed the exam. Su Yao was known for having an attitude that would cause a headache since he never followed the rules, so it was interesting to Fei Long.

The big screen in Glory Square replayed the battle between Yu and the primordial blade tiger in slow motion.

After witnessing what really happened, the crowd cheered even more excitedly than before.

Yu’s name became a slogan as it repeatedly echoed throughout the square.

The instructor allowed the crowd to cheer. He was not in a hurry to send the last candidate into the cage, Tang Ling.

He was completely forgotten.

“Yu, I admit that your battle was amazing, but it doesn’t prove that you’re stronger than me,” Orston said begrudgingly as he stood in Yu’s way.

Without showing any expression or uttering a word, Yu walked around Orston and went away.

“Yu! Didn’t your family teach you any manners?” Orston was obviously incensed.

Yu stopped, looking around slightly. “Orston, I think you’re mistaken about something.”

“What?” Orston raised his brow.

Yu’s gaze grew excited, then he enunciated word by word, “You are never my rival, but Hank is.”

The name Hank sounded like it had some kind of magic. Coupled with Yu’s unique way of talking, which sounded arduous, it stunned Orston. He wanted to refute, but the words were stuck in his throat.

A thought exploded in his mind.  Yu has lost his mind! He deems Hank his rival?

The thought flushed Orston. When he looked up, Yu was already gone.

“Crazy bastard, it’s not your call to make whether you treat me as a rival or not.” Yu’s arrogance agitated Orston, but the ripped young man was not a person who would accept defeat so easily.

“No. 45,” the instructor finally called out the last number when the crowd’s applause calmed down. It was Tang Ling’s number.

Tang Ling’s entry did not attract anyone’s attention as their minds were filled with the young genius, Yu.

“Unlucky bastard.” Orston leaned back against the wall without paying any further attention. The candidates’ numbers hinted at their strength, so how weak would No. 45, who was the last of the bunch, be?

Coincidentally, the last in the line was also the last to participate in the exam. It was as if the exam was going to welcome an imperfect ending.
