Chapter 433: Not Going! Off to Train

Chapter 433: Not Going! Off to Train

Ling Zhan put the intimate clothing back where it belonged.

Only then did he begin to examine the 'Death Sword Aura' ability.

No need to say much.

It was yet another excellent talent, specifically designed to counter high-health, high-defense opponents.

"So, thinking about it, the 'Light Leap' ability that ignores obstacles should also count as a spatial skill..."

"With the Space Dominator talent now boosting it, could it be even faster? Maybe even surpass the speed of light?"

Ling Zhan muttered to himself.

Surpassing the speed of light with your attacks is no easy feat.

If Ling Zhan hadn't acquired the skill 'Extreme Acceleration,'

He wouldn't be able to make his attacks exceed the speed of light either.

Even surpassing the speed of light with attacks is difficult—let alone for a professional themselves!

But with the Space Dominator talent's boost, perhaps the S-tier movement skill 'Light Leap' could actually achieve faster-than-light teleportation!

"Forget it, no need to think too much about it."

"First, I'll get some sleep, then attend the auction tomorrow."

Ling Zhan took a deep breath.

Then, with a smile, he peacefully drifted into sleep.

......

......

The night passed without dreams.

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the luxurious curtains, spilling into the room and onto Ling Zhan,

He slowly opened his eyes.

Stretching lazily.

Hmm...

He noticed that, without the three beast girls bothering him, he had slept exceptionally well.

Those three beast girls could be a bit too much at times.

They always had various bizarre reasons to try and enter Ling Zhan's room.

Meng Shuang, a princess of the Azure Dragon clan and daughter of the mighty elder Meng Zhang, who controlled the secret arts of Azure Thunder,

Once knocked on his door in the middle of a thunderstorm, trembling while holding a pillow, claiming she was scared of the thunder and wanted to sleep with him.

Ling Zhan couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

He wanted to ask this girl to put her hand on her heart and question herself: how could she say that without feeling guilty?

You're an Azure Dragon beast! If you revealed your true form, not only would a little thunderstorm be nothing,

Even the violent lightning of a thunder pool would be like a toy in your hands.

And you say you're afraid of thunder!?

Chang Yue took a different approach.

This gentle, serene girl often created small disturbances in the living room on purpose, just to lure Ling Zhan out to check on her.

Then she'd start talking about random things, sitting close to him, happily chatting away for half the night before finally returning to her room.

The problem was, she was a good actress.

She'd often fake sadness, sometimes talking about missing her mother, other times her father.

At first, Ling Zhan sympathized and offered words of comfort.

After all, she was his contracted beast, following him from afar to compete in this tournament.

But after a few too many times...

Ling Zhan caught on and stopped paying attention to her act.

As for Yun Man...

She was the biggest headache.

Because she was so straightforward.

She'd show up at his door wearing rather revealing pajamas, standing there innocently and directly asking, "Master, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Ling Zhan didn't think twice before slamming the door.

But she didn't give up.

She'd try again the next night.

This ultimately led to Ling Zhan having somewhat poor sleep quality for a while.

Ling Zhan's personality was indeed cold.

But that was toward others.

As for the three beast girls, they had signed a contract with him, and in a sense, they shared a mental bond—he could sometimes feel their emotional fluctuations.

Plus...

They'd been together for a long time now.

Ling Zhan couldn't bring himself to do something as harsh as kicking them out.

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside.

That was Ling Zhan's true nature.

Still, it had to be said.

Last night's sleep was the best he'd had in a long time.

He got up, washed, completed the system's daily tasks, and headed to breakfast.

In the luxurious dining room reserved for the Royal Family of the Holy Light Empire, he finally saw the three beast girls.

As well as Li Chaoge and the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Five beautiful girls sitting in a row.

They were a stunning, radiant sight in the entire dining hall.

Unfortunately...

The seats across from them were reserved only for Ling Zhan, and no one dared approach.

"This is all your favorite food."

Li Chaoge gently pushed a bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables in front of Ling Zhan.

By now, she had thoroughly learned his eating habits.

As a southerner, Ling Zhan didn't like oily food for breakfast.

But for lunch, he preferred rich, spicy dishes.

This dining hall was Ling Zhan's favorite place to eat during the competition.

"Thank you."

Ling Zhan thanked her politely.

Then, glancing at the five girls sitting in a row, he asked with slight confusion, "What's going on with you all?"

The five girls in front of him...

Each had dark circles under their eyes.

Like five adorable pandas.

The four beast girls never bothered with makeup to hide their dark circles.

They thought humans using cosmetics was unnecessary and troublesome.

Even though, with today's advanced technology, many beauty products were made from harmless, natural materials.

Li Chaoge, on the other hand, wore delicate makeup.

But her dark circles were still visible.

"Master, don't even ask. They started fighting in their sleep last night!"

Meng Shuang rolled her eyes playfully, pouting as she sipped her porridge and complained.

"Oh."

Ling Zhan only responded with a brief "oh," not prying any further.

He had a feeling that asking more about this would lead to trouble.

"Aren't you curious why we fought?" The Nine-Tailed Fox teased, giving Ling Zhan a mischievous look.

"A-Lan, stop teasing,"

Li Chaoge shot a glance at the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Her cheeks blushed slightly.

Suddenly...

The other beast girls seemed to think of something, and their faces also turned red.

The five of them blushed as they quietly sipped their porridge.

It melted the hearts of the nearby male students.

None of them could have imagined that the always heroic and composed Li Chaoge could look so adorable.

Ling Zhan didn't ask further.

It was best not to meddle in girls' affairs.

As for their so-called fight last night, he wasn't interested.

"By the way..."

"Ling Zhan, there's a cultural exchange event between the nations later. Are you going?"

Li Chaoge asked softly.

"No."

Ling Zhan shook his head.

"Then what will you do?"

"Train."

Li Chaoge: "..."

The others: "..."

Well, damn!

"So intense!"

"Bro, you're already a double champion! And you're still pushing yourself!"

"Damn! Now my breakfast tastes bland!"

"I suddenly don't feel like attending the cultural exchange. I just want to train now, what should I do?"

"Let's do it! If someone stronger than us is this diligent, how can we slack off?"

"..."

The other national competitors in the dining hall had been eavesdropping on Ling Zhan's conversation.

The moment Ling Zhan stepped into the dining hall, countless eyes were already on him.

After all, he was a double champion!

However...

Upon hearing his unwavering dedication to self-discipline, competitors from other nations all made up their minds.

Screw the cultural exchange!

To hell with it!

We're not going!

Off to train!
