Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My King, please tell me…”
Lu Yao watched the scene on the screen end, but Ye Zi’s voice sounded in her mind. Hearing the voice, she pondered for a moment, then answered, expressing the feelings in her heart.
“It seems that something isn’t quite right…
“Brother’s strength should be more than this…”
She said hesitantly. At this moment, she did not know if she was wrong.
It had to be said that with the gradual return of the Golden King’s essence, the current Lu Yao looked very ordinary, as if she was just a regular girl. However, her essence was already very unique, surpassing many people in this world.
The battle between Chen Heng and Liu Cheng just now was not a problem in most people’s eyes. The performance was reasonable, and there would not be much doubt.
However, Lu Yao could sense that something was not right. Not just the others, just his keen insight was already very impressive.
“Not bad.”
Hearing Lu Yao’s words, Ye Zi’s voice echoed in her mind once again. At this moment, there was a hint of admiration in her voice. “My King, it’s already very good that you can see this.
“Indeed, My King, your brother’s performance is much weaker than before.”
She spoke softly, then casually pointed out a few suspicious points before continuing, “Just like these few places, your brother actually had a complete chance to take down the other party.
“But in the end, your brother chose to give up all of them.
“This kind of situation has happened more than once.”
“Why is that?”
Hearing Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao was also a little puzzled. “My brother clearly could have won. Why did he deliberately lose…”
“Maybe… There’s a reason why he had to lose…” Ye Zi said softly and sighed.
“A reason why he has to lose…”
Lu Yao couldn’t help but fall silent when she heard this. At this moment, many things came to her mind. There was often much similar news around her.
Sometimes, in a competition, the contestants themselves might want to go all out. Still, to obtain greater benefits, their sponsors would often forcefully order their contestants to lose the competition intentionally.
The scene before her eyes might be the same. Thinking of this possibility, Lu Yao could not help but feel a little heartache.
As for the possibility that Chen Heng had colluded with the other party and deliberately lost the competition, Lu Yao had never thought of this possibility from the beginning to the end.
It was because of the bias towards her elder brother and because of the impression that Chen Heng’s predecessor had left on her. Chen Heng’s predecessor was such a proud person. How could he deliberately lose the competition because of such a thing? If he really wanted to do such a thing, someone must have forced him.
Lu Yao could do nothing about it but only sigh. Moreover, for Lu Yao, it was not necessarily bad for Chen Heng to lose the match and end his journey in the league tournament.
Lu Yao had watched all the previous matches. Especially the match between Chen Heng and Wang Zhong. During the match, both sides had the intention of killing each other. Just thinking about the dangers involved in the matches made Lu Yao’s heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously felt fear.
If the match continued, she was very afraid that Chen Heng would encounter new dangers. Ending this match like this might also be a good choice.
“But… I have to become stronger too…”
Standing on the spot, she recalled Chen Heng’s previous performance. She could not help but sigh in her heart, and her will became even firmer. “One day, I have to help my brother. I can’t let him bear the pressure alone…
“Also, those unknown enemies…”
At this moment, she had already made up her mind.
Standing at the side, Ye Zi turned to look at Lu Yao. She seemed to have sensed the change in her heart, and her mood could not help but brighten at this moment.
“Don’t worry.”
She said softly, and her voice sounded in Lu Yao’s mind. “With me around, My King, you will definitely become stronger rapidly.”
“With the condition of your body, as long as the seal on the mark is removed, your power will grow rapidly.
“At most, in a year or two, you will be able to reach the level of your elder brother.”
“I hope so.” Hearing Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao nodded.
In the distance. As the bell representing victory rang, Chen Heng’s match ended just like that. Chen Heng’s expression was calm. He quietly turned around and left the arena, heading outside.
When he reached the outside world, Liu Rou was still standing there. It looked like she had been waiting here for a long time. There was a small car parked beside her. When she saw Chen Heng walk out, she couldn’t help but smile and pat the car on the side.
“Get in the car.” Standing there, she looked at Chen Heng and smiled. “I’ll take you around.”
Chen Heng nodded, then calmly sat down and let Liu Rou send him back. After returning to the familiar room, he casually treated the wounds on his body.
Of course, it was said to be a casual treatment, but in reality, it was nothing. The strength of his body was far beyond the imagination of others. The injuries he had sustained on the field looked very miserable, but by the time he returned to his room, the injuries on his body had all recovered.
On his body, some of the wounds that had been left behind were already scarred. There were still some traces of the previous battle, but they were disappearing at speed visible to the naked eye. After Liu Rou sent Chen Heng back, she chatted with him for a while before leaving.
But then, several groups of people came to visit.
Among these people, there were people from the Black Dream Group, people from Liu Cheng’s place, and even people from the Dragon City Academy.
Among them, the people from the Black Dream Group came to comfort Chen Heng and, at the same time, to confirm Chen Heng’s future treatment.
Liu Cheng’s people came to say hello and gave him a batch of gifts. They even hinted that they hoped to cooperate in the future.
As for the people from Dragon City Academy, they also gave Chen Heng a large batch of rewards and even told him about the announcement of his excellent performances.
After Chen Heng returned to Dragon City Academy, he was no longer an ordinary student. Instead, he was the captain of a city district.
Besides being an academy, Dragon City Academy was also a powerful military organization. In addition to studying in the academy, the students in Dragon City Academy would occasionally go out to carry out missions. They were responsible for guarding an area and maintaining the order of an area.
Chen Heng’s previous performance had already been seen by them. The representatives of Dragon City Academy thought that with Chen Heng’s current strength, he was not inferior to those top students at all. There was no need to waste time in the academy simply. Therefore, they gave Chen Heng such a position.
Chen Heng agreed. Being in charge of guarding a city area, the benefits of this position were very great. Not only could he enjoy a very high treatment, but he could also move freely without being bound.
Of course, if there was anything else in the area that required guarding, he had to be the first to do it. For Chen Heng, this was naturally not a problem.
After taking this job, he could no longer be restricted within the Dragon City Academy and do whatever he wanted. No matter what he did in the future, it would be much more convenient. This would also be more convenient for Chen Heng’s future plans.
For the future, Chen Heng had a clear plan. As the Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body gradually awakened, those under the Five Knights would definitely catch up to Qika Star.
In total, there wasn’t much time. Therefore, Chen Heng definitely wanted to take advantage of this period to strengthen himself as quickly as possible.
Coincidentally, when Chen Heng browsed the timeline previously, he obtained some useful information. If he could make good use of it, it would undoubtedly speed up the growth of his strength.
The position given by Dragon City Academy gave him the right to move freely. It could be considered very good. Therefore, Chen Heng agreed without saying anything else.
After sending off the group of people who came to visit him, Chen Heng returned to his room and continued to rest. At this time, he sighed silently in his heart.
“It’s finally over…”
With him being defeated in the competition, his journey had basically come to an end. Of course, Chen Heng didn’t really care about this. After all, he had basically obtained everything he wanted in this competition.
He had successfully made his reputation known and gained the attention of many people. As a result, he had obtained many precious things. With these things, he would be able to make great strides in the following period of time, and he would no longer have to worry about anything else. This had to be said to be good news.
As for the rest, it was just some other things. In addition, during the course of this competition, there were still some doubts left behind. For example, the person who came to probe and even assassinate him.
Who exactly was that person? And who sent him? Chen Heng remained puzzled about this question. Liu Rou’s side was still using the power of the Black Dream Group to help Chen Heng find that person.
But up until now, there had been no results. Chen Heng wasn’t surprised about this.
No matter what, since the other party dared to probe, he must have made sufficient preparations. It wouldn’t be so easy to find him. Otherwise, it would be too unprofessional.
“If I activate the Mark of Destiny, I should be able to find him. However, it’s not worth it…”
Chen Heng raised his head to look at the top of his head. A faint golden fate flickered there. At this moment, it was extremely clear. All of this Power of Destiny had been extracted from Lu Yao’s body by Chen Heng through the Mark of Destiny over this period of time. The accumulation of it had slowly reached its current state.
If he used the power of the Mark of Destiny to make use of the Power of Destiny, he should be able to find the person from before. But now, it was unnecessary.
The investment and output were not proportional at all. Therefore, it was enough to leave it for Liu Rou to do this. Apart from this, there was another thing that Chen Heng was concerned about.
“By my calculations of the time, the Golden Mark on Lu Yao should have fully awakened by now…”
He had a clear understanding of the entire process of Lu Yao’s rise. According to the original trajectory, by the time the Five Knights descended, Lu Yao’s strength should have already reached the peak of Level 3, which was Chen Heng’s current level.
As for now, she should still be in the state of awakening. With the help of her followers, she had just awakened her telekinetic power and truly set foot on this path that belonged to her.
It was so in the original trajectory. But now, it was not very clear. Maybe it was the same, or maybe it had already changed. After all, because of Chen Heng’s strong rise, at this time, there were already some things that were different from before.
Chen Heng turned around and closed his eyes. The nameless refinement method instantly circulated in his body. The True Spirit in his body shook. In an instant, it was as if there were rays of light covering all directions, covering Chen Heng’s spiritual sea. It was exceptionally unique and mysterious.
It had been some time since Chen Heng had obtained the nameless refinement method. In the recent period of time, through this nameless refinement method, Chen Heng had constantly refined himself and strengthened the telekinetic power in his body.
Now, his telekinetic power had caught up and truly matched his Martial Artist’s strength, reaching the level of Level Three.
“I just don’t know how long it will take to reach Level Four…”
Chen Heng silently opened his eyes as he felt the change within him. A hint of understanding flashed through his heart. Compared to Martial Artists, in this world, the path of a Beastmaster was clearly planned.
From Level One to Level Three, it was all the accumulation of telekinetic power. As long as one’s telekinetic power reached a certain level, they could enter naturally and reach the transition of life level.
However, Level Four was different.
This was a transition of the essence of life. What was needed was something else. In this world, if a Beastmaster wanted to reach Level Four, they had to convert the telekinetic power in their body into drops of pure telekinetic power liquid. Only then could they do it.
This step tested not only the strength of the telekinetic power but also the control of their own body, as well as their subtle control ability.
Of course, to Chen Heng, this was not a big problem. After all, his main body’s strength was far stronger than this world’s so-called Level Four. It would be strange if he could still fall at this stage.
To him, what he lacked the most at the moment was the amount of his telekinetic power and the technique of condensing his telekinetic power into liquid. These things were destined to be irreparable in a short period of time. He could only wait until he returned to plan it out slowly.
Chen Heng stood up from where he was and looked at the scenery outside the window sill. Under his gaze, the outside world’s breeze blew, and leaves slowly fell. The scenery was different.. It seemed to have a different atmosphere.
