The curriculum of Elite Academy X had relatively more freedom. The popular Abyss-related cla.s.ses had always been widely chosen. With the gradual release of information on the Abyss to Elite Academy recently, the related cla.s.ses were even more popular.

There weren’t many students who had been to the Abyss. The Abyss was a secret held by the Milky Way Alliance. Even those super nations had no rights to interfere there. As for the new genetic studies that originated from the Abyss, they had all produced outstanding results. For the students of the Elite Academy, the Abyss represented the most challenging adventure place in the entire Milky Way Alliance.

“I really wish to go there to train myself. I have heard that the scenery there isn’t bad at all.”

“The truth is that I don’t really understand why. With the strong powers of mankind, why don’t we just gather our military strength and eradicate the Zerg race? How could the Abyss Zerg possibly withstand our strong powers?”

“Who knows? With all these happenings, they are still afraid of so many things. I feel that the students of Elite Academy should go to the Abyss for more training. Why should there only be a few selected students each year?”

Everyone was discussing and commenting. Today was an open cla.s.s by Professor Butcher. Butcher was also one of the most popular Professors in the Academy. Moreover, he was the one in charge of the Abyss project. Professors who were in charge of major departments in the Elite Academy all had great authority. For example, Butcher in the aspect of Zergs and certain Professors in the aspect of cultivation techniques. They were all No. 1 in their respective regions of academics. Naturally, their open cla.s.ses were very popular and were open to students of all levels.

The freshmen were filled with excitement. It was especially so as the Abyss was where one could really be on a battlefield and earn merit and fame. Nonetheless, only a minority of the freshmen would qualify. Even for the higher level students, only a portion of them was allowed to enter.

There were indeed a lot of people who came. For example, Asura and Imperial Glory almost had fixed seats. This was also a hidden rule. The first two rows were prepared for the stronger students. The students of Arbiter and Aslan would typically take the center seats.

It was just that there was a group of rather special people sitting at the center seats today. Clearly, they weren’t from the Arbiter or Aslan.

w.a.n.g Zheng had brought along the people from the Saruman Snake battle team and sat in the center positions.

Reserving seats?

Did they have to be so childish? Whoever came first should sit first.

Student Zhang Shan was very comfortable. He realized that w.a.n.g Zheng was finally enlightened. As a teenager, one had to have pa.s.sion, an att.i.tude towards challenges, and the ambition to break the norms. Who were Arbiter and Aslan? Our Solar System was the strongest.

Obviously, if he was alone, he wouldn’t dare to be sitting there. w.a.n.g Zheng, Achilles, and Lie Xin didn’t feel that it was a huge thing. Tak.u.mi and Oli were feeling a little restless though. What the h.e.l.l. It felt just like they were sitting on a bed of needles. It was especially so because of Mu Zhen’s existence. He was taking up three seats by himself.

The members of the Dark Wolves battle team had arrived. Losing to the Saruman Snake battle team had clearly made Sartes and the rest felt unmatched anger, although this anger was bottled up inside them. They were surprised by w.a.n.g Zheng and couldn’t demonstrate their strength before being eradicated and therefore were definitely not convinced. Coupled with the comments from the surroundings, their days weren’t great at all. They were all prepared to face Saruman Snake battle team again.

The Icefire battle team arrived. Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu would obviously say hi to w.a.n.g Zheng and the rest. Looking at w.a.n.g Zheng’s position, Ai Xiaolu didn’t feel that it was strange at all. On the contrary, she admired w.a.n.g Zheng for doing so. As the Saruman Snake battle team, he didn’t need to have the high and mighty image of the Imperial Glory battle team or the Asura battle team. On the other hand, he needed to have a sense of fort.i.tude. They were the new up and coming power, and for a new power to grow, it had to be willing to give its all.

Ai Xiaolu was clearly interested to see the world in chaos.

Luo Er was here together with Ai Xiaolu. With regard to this type of rules in school, Luo Er didn’t pay much attention to them. She could sit wherever she wanted and no one could control her. Those who knew her wouldn’t speak a word, while those who didn’t know her showed that they were not at the right level yet.

Luo Er had become good friends with Ai Xiaolu recently. The two of them had walked different paths, but that had given them a lot of common topics to talk about. This wasn’t the same as besties, but these feelings that was better than those of besties had indeed allowed the two of them to express themselves.

The Eagle battle team and the Star Lya battle team arrived. The relations.h.i.+p of these two teams wasn’t bad. Rumor had it that they sparred frequently during training. Dendi had a good relations.h.i.+p with Pampas, and the relations.h.i.+p between w.a.n.g Zheng and the two of them couldn’t be considered as very good. However, through their few interactions, their impressions weren’t all that bad.

“w.a.n.g Zheng, you look energetic today,” laughed Dendi.

“Senior Dendi, I have heard that you often train together with Senior Pampas. I am wondering if you can include our battle team too,” laughed w.a.n.g Zheng. w.a.n.g Zheng held a sense of respect for these two people. As high level students, the two of them weren’t overbearing and acted according to reasons and evidence. When the Saruman Snake battle team was down, Dendi didn’t forcibly pull Vincent away.

“Haha, Pampas. w.a.n.g Zheng thinks so highly of us, what do you say about it?”

“Of course, I wouldn’t have a problem. However, you would need to leave some face for us,” laughed Pampas.

“Yeah. I have poached Vincent from the champion team to my team, which is at the bottom. However, I will not return him to you,” teased Dendi.

“I’m feeling embarra.s.sed by your words,” said w.a.n.g Zheng. To have more training and battles, especially with people like Dendi and Pampas, would be a great lift for the team and everyone. Victory was only the results; it didn’t mean that the two of them were weak.

The group chatted for a while and the two of them brought the team and sat down on the second row. The truth was that Dendi and Pampas also admired w.a.n.g Zheng. Although he was their junior, he had the drive and his own principles. Although Lear knew what to say and what to do, they were more fond of w.a.n.g Zheng being true to himself. Lear felt a little old and experienced. As a student, there was indeed no need to be that way.

“Hmm, w.a.n.g Zheng is challenging the authority of Aslan and Arbiter. I have long heard that this person is very arrogant. Looking at him now, he really is arrogant,” said Rennes.

“Rennes, w.a.n.g Zheng isn’t arrogant. This is ambition. Why do the people of Aslan and Arbiter have the innate rights to sit on the first row?” said Ai Xiaolu faintly.

Rennes wasn’t angered by the tone of Ai Xiaolu. Instead, he smiled faintly and replied, “You are right. However, without rules, a circle wouldn’t be round and a square wouldn’t be square. This is a form of respect for the strong. If we were sufficiently strong, we could also sit at the first row.”

“Saruman Snake is the strongest now,” Ai Xiaolu said.

Student Xiaolu didn’t care about these things. She could understand Rennes’ pride and ambitions. Truthfully speaking, she had seen too many people like him. All of them wanted to stand at the peak, look down on the world, and so on. They were too childish.

Rennes didn’t try to retort. This was part of his upbringing. He knew that Ai Xiaolu and w.a.n.g Zheng were close. There were even rumours that Ai Xiaolu was fond of w.a.n.g Zheng. There were even some who claimed that she had a crush on him.

Snow Li was just looking at w.a.n.g Zheng quietly. She didn’t know what w.a.n.g Zheng had experienced on t.i.ta Star. However, she was sure that a lot had happened to cause him to have such changes.

“Stop looking. I asked him out tonight for barbeque. Even if you two cannot become lovers, being friends can also be something. What are you afraid of?” said Ai Xiaolu softly.

Snow Li’s face turned red. In this aspect, she was indeed not as good as Ai Xiaolu and just nodded her head.

The truth was that she was more fond of the atmosphere in the Saruman Snake battle team. However, she was a member of the Hail Cloud Alliance, so at this moment, she couldn’t return.

As long as that person was around, there would be an overwhelming aura of challenging everything.

The Dynasty battle team arrived. Lear took a look at w.a.n.g Zheng, smiled faintly, and headed to the second row.

Facing Lear, who was so capable in acting, one should really not think too much. Whoever thought too much into it would lose. Even Zhang Shan knew that he should ignore him. The more you cared about him, the better he felt.

If you smiled, I would also smile. Who didn’t know how to smile without meaning it?

On Earth, these types of people were known as a pain in the neck.

However, Zhang Shan really wanted to know when and if the Saruman Snake battle team faced Dynasty, just how would this troublemaker fare.

The Asura battle team arrived. They were naturally not in a rush, as there was no need for them to. Others needed to be here early to reserve seats, but the people of Arbiter never had to. These were the rules.

Marzu and Olivios brought the members of Asura forward. They had both the main members and reserves with them. Seeing that w.a.n.g Zheng and the rest were sitting there, Marzu and Olivios didn’t make too many indications and sat down.

After which, the problem arrived.

With the two groups sitting down, there weren’t many empty seats left in the first row. Very clearly, there wouldn’t be enough seats when Imperial Glory arrived later, unless they were not coming today.

Mu Zhen was really happy, truly happy. He loved to attend lessons. When he was on t.i.ta Star, he would attend lessons frequently. However, he was always with the giants. This time, he was attending lessons in the world of humans. Moreover, the elders had told him that this was the highest form of education for the humans. He was the future of the people of t.i.ta. After completing his studies, he would have to return and impart these to the people of t.i.ta. Coupled with the fact that he was appointed personally by Ada, this honor belonged only to him in the entire t.i.ta Star.

Mu Zhen opened up his electronic notebook. He wanted to take notes seriously by recording in the language of t.i.ta for better understanding.

A lot of people were staring at Mu Zhen. Seeing that a giant was so serious, they couldn’t help but laugh. That look was so stupid and silly.

Although he was being laughed at, Mu Zhen was still smiling honestly. Zhang Shan felt a little unable to overlook this, but he did not say anything. After all, Mu Zhen didn’t know about it, and he could save his effort to point it out. They were just another group of dumb people. Was being serious laughable?

The people of the Imperial Glory battle team arrived. Aina, Di Maria, and the rest of the people of Aslan were stunned when they saw the situation in the cla.s.sroom.

The first row was almost completely filled. Where were they supposed to sit?

Arbiter was there, and that was how it should be. But why was a group of people from the Solar System sitting? Also, that huge figure was taking three seats by himself!

As the captain, Di Maria couldn’t help but frown. There had been no such incidents in the past, and yet this happened when he became the captain. Was this a challenge to his authority?

Once Di Maria signalled, Jin Yaoer went over. “w.a.n.g Zheng, what’s the situation? This is Aslan’s position; your position is at the back.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Let me take a look.” Zhang Shan looked all around you and replied, “That’s strange. Your names aren’t on them.”

Everyone burst into laughter. Oh silly Jin Yaoer. The norms were the norms, but norms weren’t a must. The Saruman Snake battle team clearly didn’t care about you guys and yet you came up to find trouble for yourself.

Jin Yaoer was embarra.s.sed. Although he wasn’t happy, w.a.n.g Zheng was looking at him so faintly. Clearly, he didn’t have him in his eyes. One had to admit that disregarding one’s status, Jin Yaoer was clearly not a match for w.a.n.g Zheng.

He didn’t have the grounds to argue, but Di Maria couldn’t just let this go. Aina was also around. If this thing was settled in such a casual way, how was he going to lead the team in the future?
