The universe was vast . The more humanity developed, the more they understood their own inadequacy and ignorance .
The two chatted for a while . The examination inside had been going on for 20 minutes now .
This was a little long . And this was not an exam where you could take your time .
Once you failed, the system would immediately administer the results .
Redington frowned as well . "Who could it be inside?"
"No idea, but it's been 20 minutes . It must be someone from our class . "
Xuan grade's class 1 was the crème de la crème . To have risen to the Xuan Grade, and entered the Xuan grade's class 1 was a form of recognition and glory in itself .
"Could it be Diablo?" Redington laughed . "I saw him around just now . "
"Hmm, but anyway they should be out soon . " Ling Luoyu's curiosity was peaked now . The Xuan Grade was different from the Huang Grade . Nobody would go around flaunting their ability X now . What needed to be understood and guarded against should all have been clearly laid out in the Huang Grade . One needed more prudence the higher one rose, only holding nothing back in crucial moments like the competition .
"Oh, y'all are around too . " Ai Xiaolu appeared, accompanied by a hunk with short silver hair in a white T-shirt . He had a sharp look and an evil aura about him, but he did look very cool .
It was Lya Sphinx's Diablo . Rumors were that he was chasing Ai Xiaolu, although admittedly Ai Xiaolu was a great beauty . She was only overshadowed by Snow Li's presence . In dressing up, Ai Xiaolu was second to none . She was one of those who looked good in anything . She was easy on the eyes, and one liked her the more one looked .
"You two are progressing really quickly . " Redington teased .
Ai Xiaolu turned up her mouth . "You can eat rubbish, but don't speak it . "
Diablo shrugged, unfazed . His interest in Ai Xiaolu was widely known . Chasing women was a pleasure in itself, especially a fine product like Ai Xiaolu .
Redington preferred Snow Li . Pretty was pretty, but Diablo did not like too dazzling a beauty, preferring the comfortable type like Ai Xiaolu .
"Redington, how's your preparation coming along? I hear that the 4 main Academies are split into 5 groups this time . "
"I'll deal with whatever arises . I have long wanted to test the standards of the other academies . "
"I hear a lot of new students have signed up . The White Tiger's Olivios is something else . He completely does not treat the Xuan Grade as worthy of respect . " Redington chuckled .
"White Tiger Region's fame seems unwarranted then, to let a newcomer be so full of himself . If he was in the Azure Dragon Region, he would have been taught a good lesson . To think a bunch of rookies would think to come and join the party . They must have a death wish . " Diablo said darkly .
"Don't speak too early . A lot of ambitious newcomers are thirsting to bring us down . Be careful . Don't get careless and slip up, or you'll regret for a lifetime . " Ai Xiaolu tinkled .
Perhaps because of her relationship with Mo Ling, Ling Luoyu did not feel Ai Xiaolu was anything special, just another member of Class 3 . Although she did act as though she knew everything .
Suddenly, the four's laughter subsided . From another corner, someone else had appeared, merely acknowledging them with a slight nod . They were reserved, even restrained .
As expected, it was Ai Xiaolu who recovered first . "Pampas . To think we would see you here . Looks like your individual training is over?"
Pampas looked at Ai Xiaolu with a hint of a smile . "The big mecha battle is coming . I have to be back no matter what . And besides, I haven't seen you all in a while . "
Pampas of the Azure Dragon Region, the number one expert in Xuan 1 . He had basically completed the whole syllabus, and was immersed in punishing training to delve deeper and challenge his boundaries . He had no intention of following the system, and was preparing to directly participate in the promotional examination . This mecha battle was undoubtedly a good time to test himself . If he could become the top in the Xuan Grade, then he would be qualified to challenge the promotional exam .
One had to know that the Earth Grade and the Xuan Grade were two completely different worlds . It was not like the close distance between the Xuan and Huang Grades .
Just Pampas' presence brought intangible pressure to Redington and Diablo, but Pampas did not seem to be focused on them, instead looking at the training arena .
"Who's inside?"
"No idea, but the guy's been inside for half an hour . That's more than enough to pass the first stage . It should be the second stage now, so it should be one of our Xuan class 1 classmates .
Ai Xiaolu offhandedly said .
Pampas switched on his own Skylink, giving the door a sweep . His Skylink immediately displayed an In Progress situation .
This was privilege . Clearly Pampas' authorization was much higher than the four's . This was the difference . In Elite Academy X, competition for such special privileges abounded . This was the best way to galvanize geniuses to dig deep and shine, and these little privileges were of no loss to the school .
Vanity was humanity's greatest weakness, but also the best motivator .
At first, Pampas was not paying attention . He just did not want to waste time . But seeing the numbers displayed, his focus returned . A repressive aura began to seep out, causing Ling Luoyu to feel the pressure .
Ai Xiaolu was again the first to respond, scooting over . But when she saw the numbers displayed, she was shocked too . "This… how could this…"
The person inside had already been tested until Level 3 . More importantly, his ability X usage rate was… zero .
Clearly this was the reason for Pampas' frown . The strongest knew the importance of one's body strength . Solely depending on ability X was not viable . In his absence, such an expert had actually appeared in Xuan 1 . Interesting!
Ling Luoyu and the rest could feel his battle lust rising . This was rare . Pampas was practically invincible in Azure Dragon's Xuan Grade . Although some could stand up against him, but none had a real hope of winning . He had spent a year just training . Meeting him now, they found that his drive had been well concealed, and the year had not been wasted . And now the person inside had caught his interest, something that Redington and Diablo were incapable of .
Ling Luoyu was curiosu as well . Who was it? She racked her brains through the Xuan 1 people . It seemed like nobody else was here today .
Inside, Wang Zheng was totally engrossed . No wonder the school council wanted this as the standard . It was indeed quite difficult . The Elite College was full of experts . After spending so long, he had just reached Grade 3, but Zhang Shan and Oli were spamming his Skylink with calls . Since he had already qualified, he would continue next time . They must be worried about him .
Wang Zheng ended the training, and the simulation faded . He was sweating heavily, and a little hyped up .
Opening the door, Wang Zheng was taken aback . There were actually 4 people standing outside, staring intently…
He must have taken up too much time .
And when they saw it was him, they shouted almost in unison . "How could it be you!"
Ling Luoyu stared inside . "Wang Zheng, who did you come with! How could you enter here!"
Wang Zheng was not sure how to respond . This senior Ling Luoyu was a little strange . Even though the blind date had been a disaster, but he had explained everything clearly, and had not brought too much of a bother to her . In fact, he had felt quite good about it .
But for Gail, Wang Zheng did not mind such small matters .
Smiling slightly, he said "Senior Ling, the training arena is a public facility, isn't it? Why can't I be here? Besides, there's no one else . I don't even know who signed me up for this mecha competition, but I don't want to let them down . So I came to take the test . There're plenty of people below, and none here . It's a waste to leave it standing empty, right?"
At this moment, his Skylink chirped again . Wang Zheng switched it on . "Zhang Shan, stop bugging me . I know . I'll go over in a moment . Nope, I'm fine . D*mn, y'all are so noisy I couldn't even finish my training . You're not my wife, stop nagging . "
Zhang Shan thought something must have happened, and was ready to roll up his sleeves and wade into the fray . His imagination was too vivid .
Pampas smiled . Interesting . Looked like he had not failed, but simply stopped the test halfway .
Ling Luoyu had a grave expression, and Diablo looked at Wang Zheng like he was a monster . Redington had a similarly black expression . Only Ai Xiaolu laughed loudly .
"Wang Zheng, this is our Xuan Grade training ground . What you just did was the Xuan Grade test . "
Ai Xiaolu now understood why Snow Li had completely ignored Redington . If she had been in her shoes, she would have done the same . This was a real man!
Redington loved to act cool, as though afraid that others did not know he liked to act cool . But people like Wang Zheng were the true experts, casually doing things that scared people half to death .
"Er, that… I did think it was strange how there was nobody here . But to do so is not against the school rules, is it . " Wang Zheng laughed .
"Although it's not a violation, but who let you in? Boundaries are there for a reason . That's why we have them . " Redington said icily . He had no goodwill for Wang Zheng, who was his love rival . He could not pretend any longer .
Wang Zheng smiled in reply . "I think so too . And since the boundaries let me in, then naturally it's fine, right?"
This guy had guts . The kind of guy who would think about starting a dye shop after getting his hands on 3 shades of red .
He looked at Pampas, who met his gaze . An interesting person had shown up . Wang Zheng could feel his incredible aura emanating clearly . Even in the Xuan Grade, this must be a pro .
"Impossible . If a Huang class 7 scum like you had such privileges, the school must belong to your family!" Redington sneered .
Pampas suddenly laughed . "I believe you . "
Immediately nobody spoke . Pampas had spoken to shut them up . Whether one was 'qualified' or not made no difference . Skill was everything .
"Student Wang Zheng, pleased to make your acquaintance . I'm called Pampas . Let's get to know each other better when we're free . " Pampas smiling stretched out a hand .
Wang Zheng smiled as well, and the two gripped hands . It was not a clash with sparks flying, but they did have an exchange . After one reached a certain level, one's intuition became especially sensitive . There was no need to test the other in flashier ways .
