Chapter 536: Chapter 11 Distinguished Guests
The Extraordinary Department’s freshmen competition continued.
At that moment, on the battlefield, two people were engaged in combat, both attacking with ferocity.
One of them, with a head of graceful golden hair and a handsome face, was none other than Carter, while the other was also a genius of the Extraordinary Department and very famous.
Then, Carter’s long spear moved like a dragon, his momentum like a rainbow. With this thrust, it seemed as if there was no return, carrying an unstoppable force, supremely domineering.
A loud noise echoed as the long spear broke through the opponent’s attack and sent him flying directly out of the fray.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment before a round of applause broke out.
Carter’s performance in the past few days had been incredibly dazzling, becoming more intense with each battle, seemingly improving every day, especially his spear skills, which were faster and more cunning than before. But the most outstanding was still that stunning thrust, under which several famous individuals, bigger names than his, had fallen.
Apart from Carter, Ize’s progress was equally surprising. The two were like they had discovered the key to transcendence, soaring in strength rapidly.
After leaving the battlefield, Carter returned to his own spot. Ize glanced at him, their eyes met, then both shifted their gaze away, their eyes brimming with rivalry.
These days, both of them had been shadowing Xu Mo; thus, during the freshman competition, Xu Mo would become their sparring partner in the evenings, which accounted for their daily improvements.
Of course, such progress would eventually hit a ceiling.
“Not bad, I thought it would be difficult to win today,” whispered Princess Elizabeth.
She had observed Ize and Carter’s progress.
Her curiosity about that librarian grew more and more. What kind of servant was he, capable of coaching Ize and Carter with his vast theoretical knowledge to such an incredible extent, as if they had undergone a transformation? It was truly magical.
“With some luck,” Carter replied. However, his admiration for Xu Mo grew stronger by the day. Today’s opponent was actually quite challenging; everyone had agreed before the match that he would likely lose.
Yet Xu Mo managed to find the opponent’s flaw by watching his battle videos, instructed him when to deliver that thrust, and upon doing so, he won.
The feeling was as though everything had been calculated and arranged transparently.
No wonder they were of the Royal Family, and so was Elizabeth.
Carter wondered who was stronger, Xu Mo or Elizabeth?
He was actually a bit curious. However, they never mentioned Xu Mo’s combat power, since Xu Mo did not intend to reveal it, needing to hide his royal identity.
At that moment, a figure squeezed through the crowd—it was Mokov, who had been ‘missing’ for a few days.
“Mokov, where have you been these past few days?” asked Elizabeth.
Mokov’s neck was still somewhat stiff, appearing unnatural.
“Family matters,” Mokov said, then his gaze flicked to Carter and Ize. He had been healing and recovering these past few days.
“The son of the Minister of Finance is also so busy? Too busy to join the freshman competition, or do they need you to crunch numbers instead?” Carter spoke with a meaningful tone, his eyes holding a hint of sarcasm as he looked at Mokov.
A venomous look flitted across Mokov’s eyes.
But with his dark history in Carter’s hands, he couldn’t afford to break off relations and had to endure it.
Mokov didn’t respond, and Elizabeth didn’t think much of it, assuming Mokov was absent these days because he couldn’t face the embarrassment of his loss to Ize.
But Carter’s gaze toward Mokov already carried a hint of disdain. Mokov, he had no more chances.
The son of the Minister of Finance still dreaming of climbing higher, leveraging Princess Elizabeth’s influence, was wishful thinking.
Mokov no longer posed a threat.
At this moment, a deafening cheer suddenly arose from the crowd, causing the group to turn their eyes toward the battlefield, where they saw a short-haired man stepping onto the battlefield.
Elizabeth’s eyes also turned to this person, her gaze filled with a bit of gravity.
Sal of the Lasas Kingdom’s Royal Family.
The Lasas Kingdom was the largest territory holder in the Star System Alliance, and it was called a kingdom because it ruled over many planets nearby, having once been a warlike kingdom with extensive domains.
Within the Star System Alliance, the Lasas Kingdom was powerful enough to contend with Lucas Star, also a standing member of the council of stars.
Sal’s combat power was very strong, exceptionally so. He was one of the top contenders among the Extraordinary Department’s freshmen and considered a rival by Elizabeth, who felt threatened by him.
Moreover, Sal had always seen her as his rival, desiring a battle with her.
His opponent was a Mechanical Master, but at that moment, the situation seemed extremely serious. The Mecha’s energy surged out, and the blade in its hand was raised.
Sal’s eyes fixated on his opponent, with a hint of dreadful energy light in his pupils. Energy raged around his body, forming a formidable Energy Field. Sal extended his hand, and suddenly, a wild energy converged into a War Axe.
He wasn’t even wearing Armor, letting the energy around him act as a protective shield, almost as if it had turned into his personal Armor.
“Boom…” The Mecha blasted off, frighteningly swift, his body leaping into the air, displaying great agility, and plunging down at terrifying speed, aiming to strike Sal.
This display of impressive piloting skill elicited cheers, as Sal moved with equal ferocity. The incredible Power that shuddered with his steps awed the onlookers. He charged forward, then leapt into the air like Lightning. When the energy within him burst forth, it was loaded with an unrivaled Power, and his War Axe slashed down.
