Lear was a little worried because of Li Zhilong. Ever since this guy arrived at the Academy, he had not stopped stirring up trouble. Recently, he kept following him during classes. It was obvious that he was targeting him. They were both candidates for the position of the Son of Saint. Lear knew clearly what the other party wanted to do but the problem was that he was alone in the Elite Academy. Luo Fei… That fatty was unreliable. And the Li family was considered to have some power in Manalasuo. Lear postulated that the Li family was most possibly one of the ancient martial arts families that walked out of the Interstellar Great Voyage Era. The problem was that Manalasuo had great power in the Elite Academy.
One on one, Lear was not afraid of anything. But he was afraid that the other party would use Manalasuo’s influence to deal with him. Then things would get more troublesome. And actually, Lear was not willing to fight within the Academy. At the moment, Lear’s plans were going very well. After all, the Solar System, especially Earth’s influence was too weak.
But this time it was no longer up to him.
Li Zhilong jumped down from a tree. His head of white hair was very easy to recognize.
“Lear, I’ve been waiting for you for so long,” Li Zhilong said with a smile. His gaze was especially devilish.
Lear’s gaze lightly swept across. “Such a big formation.”
“Haha, you are after all a candidate. Come out brothers.”
More than 10 Manalasuo citizens emerged from the trees. They were all of the Xuan Grade. Six of them were even from the Xuan Grade Class 1.
“What do you want?” A killing intent flashed across Lear’s eyes.
“Hehe. You know very well what I want. Withdraw from the Academy and I will spare your miserable life. If not, you will know what I will do.”
Lear snorted derisively. He originally did not want to cause trouble. But if someone came looking for trouble, he did not mind making a move. “How do you want to end this!”
“Can’t you see, I have gathered so many people. Obviously I want to challenge you. One group of us against one of you!”
Li Zhilong teased and laughed. This Lear was only so much and he wanted to contend with him for the position of the Son of Saint.
Lear frowned. “Its strange that people like you can actually also become a candidate.”
“Are you scared? You are so naïve. Do you think that this is the era of knights where one on one duels are in fashion? We are going to give you a good time.”
Li Zhilong clenched both his fists and gathered his ability X. Golden light shone from his eyes and he directly locked onto Lear.
A punch was thrown out and Lear immediately evaded. His opponent’s speed was not very fast. He could evade but he was worried that the people surrounding him would make a move.
But warning signs appeared. Li Zhilong’s punch actually followed him like a shadow. There was no way to evade. It was similar to some sort of lock-on ability.
Hong…
He forced himself to withstand this punch. Lear knew that things did not look good. This guy’s ability X had to do with metal of the Five Minor Elements. With just one punch landing, his defense actually disintegrated.
Lear lost his balance momentarily and the surrounding Manalasuo citizens immediately made their move and rushed towards him. More than 10 types of ability X’s directly landed on Lear.
The key was that Li Zhilong’s punch directly blocked any of Lear’s follow-up actions. He had no chance at all. Lear curled up into a ball.
The whole group rushed towards him and gave him a round of mad beatings. Mantle frowned, “Long, just beat him up. Don’t kill him or else we will have big trouble.”
There were all sorts of challenges and duels in the Elite Academy. They were all energetic young people. The Academy was also not too strict on this, but everything had a limit. If they crossed the line then things would get troublesome. This Lear had been quite valued by the Academy. Mantle was a little worried.
Li Zhilong glared at Mantle impatiently. “Call me Li Zhilong, or Young Master Long like what the rest do. Not Long. Just leave him with just a breath.”
The Li family in Manalasuo was indeed very influential. All the others also knew that. If they had the care of the Li family, they would raise through the ranks much faster when they returned after graduating from the Elite Academy. Everyone was willing to get into Li Zhilong’s good grace. Besides, it was just beating up one person and Lear this rascal was too arrogant. Just a Huang Grade student and he was so proud. The others had been unhappy with him for quite some time.
After a round of crazy kicking and stomping, he could not handle Mantle’s nagging anymore. Li Zhilong waved his hands and walked over. He stepped on Lear’s head twice. “Remember, I don’t care what method you use, I’m giving you three days’ time to immediately disappear from the name list. Just you, a small creature from Earth and you would dare dream of competing with me. If I know that you are still around, I will beat you up every time I see you. I will beat you until you obey!”
After saying, he spat at Lear and waved his hands. “Let’s go brothers. I will treat everyone to a good time!”
Lear slowly moved only after this group of people had left for quite some time. To Lear, this was not only a great humiliation, but his injuries were also quite serious. This Li Zhilong did not hold back at all. The others might not have been too vicious but their thoughtless bombardment of abilities still hurt him. If not for his Ares Art, he would definitely not be able to get up now.
But there was no angry expression on Lear’s face. In his heart, he was calculating the situation. Obviously, it was not smart getting serious with Li Zhilong in the Elite Academy. Even if he could beat Li Zhilong in battle, things would be considered over but he had to think of a way to prevent future troubles.
Except that it was a little difficult in the current situation
After Li Zhilong’s punch, Lear understood in his heart. The other party was most likely also an inheritor of ancient martial arts. His physical techniques would not be poor and his ability X should have to do with locking on to enemies and breaking their defense. Even though he clearly defended against that one blow, but there was still a sharp power that broke through, instantly disintegrating his defense. Even if he had prepared himself, it was most likely that his defense would slowly disintegrate. This most likely had to do with the Metal element of the Cycle of Five Minor Elements.
And this type of attack hindered Lear’s devouring power. He was not afraid of abilities that were slow and insidious. Instead he was very afraid powers that could unleash a large amount of power in a single burst. This countered his ability.
The key point was that this Li Zhilong was a despicable person and totally left him no chance to escape.
When Luo Fei rushed to the infirmary, he was also shocked. Lear was already placed in the healing tank. His injuries were much worse than Lear himself had imagined.
Multiple healing abilities surrounded him. Adding up his external and internal injuries, it was simply a miracle that he could walk to the infirmary. He was almost instantly placed in the healing container.
He had to recover for at least three or four days.
It also depended on his body’s recuperative situation.
Li Zhilong wanted this type of effect. He could not kill him but he wanted to leave him half dead. This was still not over. As long as Lear was still on that name list, he would prepare a few more rounds of this type of activity. Having more people was the best!
“You youngsters, I already said not to fight or beat each other up. Three ribs as well as your left hand is also broken.” The doctor sighed and shook his head. He had been at the Elite Academy for a long time. This was considered a serious injury. “You can go see him.”
The meat on Luo Fei’s fat face shivered. He came to Lear. Lear’s eyes were very calm. He saw Luo Fei approach and nodded. “You need to be careful. Don’t walk around at night these few days.”
Lear said. In his mind, he was thinking of how to handle Li Zhilong after he had healed. This thing was of course not over. Except that the way he handled had to be precise. He could not risk raising the Academy’s resentment but he needed Li Zhilong to be defeated and give up.
This was a little difficult to execute.
Luo Fei nodded. He had yet to open his mouth and Lear already indicated that he could go back. He wanted to prevent anymore incidents from happening. Based on this fatty’s strength, once he was blocked, just any two students could beat him till he was half dead.
Luo Fei lowered his head. He wanted to say something but walked out cowardly.
