Meanwhile, the other battleships from the other units had certain reactions as well.
At Azure Drake's warship.
Fell and then Crack!
Major General Drake Ares's cup of coffee suddenly fell on the ground as he watched the scene of Feng Jing suddenly smiling an extremely familiar devious expression on his face.
His right-hand man, Colonel Shiva looked at his General with a bewildered expression, he was thinking of whether the man had finally lost it after being buried in paper works for a whole month. Now that the competition had already entered the Middle Region, as promised General Drake was finally allowed in the monitoring cabin of their ship.
But when their general saw Feng Jing's smile, they thought that the General might have fallen in love at sight with this young lord from the Feng Clan.
With a frown on his face the Colonel seriously reminded his General, "General Drake, please think twice. We cannot have any connection with the Feng Family as we serve the Janus Clan."
Unfortunately, his kind advice was ignored by Drake Ares. After recognizing who Feng Jing is, Darke Ares's eyes wandered at the figure of Feng Wu who was protecting Feng Jing. Unlike Xue Ran who kept his distance from the latter, Feng Wu was clearly more close to Feng Jing.
Drake Ares, who remembered his vessel's role as this world's Protagonist Gong murmured with a pale face, "AH~ I'm dead. Fuck!"

At the Fallen Gods battleship.
Xue Ying felt a chill the moment he witnessed his baby cousin smile like an adult. Though he knew that their Marshal would never take a liking to someone simple, he never expected for his adorable cousin to have this side. There are still some baby fats in his exquisite face but this doesn't change the fact that this young man is so beautiful. But his evil smile just now made a contradiction to his innocent appearance. A contrasting feeling of evil and good mixing. That is what Xue Ying felt when he saw Feng Jing smile deviously like that.
Xue Ying murmured, "Xiao Jing won't happen to be thinking of killing those two princes doesn't he, Marshal?"
"He is. At least indirectly," replied Marshal Sirus as he could hear the system in his head grumbling things the moment they saw Feng Jing's smile.
[Wuwuwu~ The host is playing around again. Those two are dead meat. How could he shout at him? They would be played to death and wouldn't even know how they would die. Ah~ host, please hold back a bit.]
System Yue is panicking on his own, even forgetting that the soul fragment of his lord god could also hear his voice. He continued to grumble as if no one else could hear him.
Marshal Sirius could help but lightly smile with a pampering gaze on his eyes, this is an instinctive reaction. After all, the man he doesn't know loves to indulge in this manner of entertainment his beloved always does.
"Xue Ying, inform the palace that if they concern themselves with this, not only the whole Feng Clan but also the Altair family would get involved," said Marshal Sirius.
"Eh?" Even Xue Ying was caught off guard with these words from his Marshal. He never expected that this detached from the world Marshal of theirs would openly declare that Feng Jing is under his protection, even threatening the Imperial Palace just to protect his lover.
Marshal Sirius said, "Send it to the Federation as well."
"Yes, Marshal," responded Xue Ying.

Back to Planet Citlali.
Seeing Feng Jing smiling at them, Navi Naja and Prince Regulus felt a child climb up on their spine.
Feng Jing ignored their reactions and said, "You said those words yourself. You cannot take it back, Navi Naja."
Hic!
Prince Rigel frowned and gave Navi Naja a warning gaze when he saw him about to speak more, "Imperial Uncle, please listen to this nephew's explanation."
"No more explanation. No need to call me Imperial Uncle anymore," said Feng Jing as he walked away without even looking at the Princes with ashen faces.
Halley Ascella politely greeted Feng Jing after treating her other half's injuries.
"This young lady gives his utmost gratitude to Lord Feng," said Halley Ascella, Obviously, still hiding the fact that she is a neighboring empire's princess.
Feng Jing said with his usual innocent smile, "There is no need for thanks. You should be more careful next time. As you see they even dare to harm their Imperial Uncle which is me. Better to stay away from them."
"This young lady will keep the young lord's words in mind," replied Halley Ascella.
Lord Jing only nodded to her words and ended their conversation without any talks of compensation. Clearly, Feng Jing's actions signify that he only wanted to save them from their situation.
"What are you guys still staying here for? Are you not here to enter the Middle Region to continue the event?" said Feng Jing for everyone to hear.
Most commoners looked at each other and headed to the middle region while looking vigilantly towards the team led by the royal descendants. But they also didn't forget to salute Feng Jing and his group to show their gratitude.
Feng Jing and his group didn't enter the middle region right away as they were keeping Navi Naja's team in check. Lin Tian also gave his thanks to Feng Jing as he noticed who was the real leader in this group despite having Senior Students on their side.
Lin Tian said, "Thank you for saving me, Lord Feng."
"There is no need for thanks. I wasn't really trying to save you. Moreover, it was A'Wu and Senior Ran who defeated the enemy. You should give your thanks to them instead." replied Feng Jing.
"Hahaha~ Yes. Junior Feng, Student Xue, thank you. If you need something in the future. Please don't be shy and contact me." said Lin Tian.
The two just nodded their heads in agreement. After all, formalities were done, Lin Tian and his team said their farewell and headed to the middle region.
Prince Rigel was keeping Feng Jing at a distance but no longer said a word. What Feng Jing has said just now destroyed all decorum between them. In short, there is no need to pretend as uncle and nephews any longer.
Tang San asked while stepping on Young Master Sidra with disgust on his face, "Leader what should be done with this trash?"
Qu Yeon looked at Feng Jing for a moment and only when he saw him nod that he took over the command once again.
"Press their protective gear to initiate their disqualifications," said Qu Yeon.
Upon hearing this young master Sidra's swollen eyes widened despite the pain. His eyes wandered to Navi Naja who was being scolded by his elder cousin in the corner.
Young Master Sidra says, "Phrince! SSkave mhe!" but unfortunately the prince he is calling turned deaf ears on his calls. Only then did he realize that he followed the wrong person.
Everyone from Feng Jing's group worked together to press open the protective gears of Young Master Sidra and his team. Once it was activated each student was enclosed in a life-saving capsule forcing the one inside to enter slumber to heal. They will have to sleep until the organizers of the event come over to pick them up.
Qu Yeon seeing that everything was done he leads the way to the Middle Region and enters it to continue the competition. Feng Jing ignored the other team and followed the rest. Only when his team had disappeared did Prince Naja dare to scream. He really hated Feng Jing too much.
Navi Naja immediately complained, "Brother! That isn't really our fault? He… He just suddenly appeared there!"
"I know. I also didn't notice him appearing. But… It doesn't change the fact that we almost killed him. Uncle Zenith would definitely take his side." said Prince Rigel.
Prince Naja continues to complain, "It must be his plan. He wanted to save that one from Lin. He even started scheming with the Merchant Clan!"
Staying silent for a moment Regulus Rigel thought for a moment. The actions he did before were indeed too much. If even the biggest merchant family joins sides with the Phoenix Clan then things from their side would be a disadvantage. He needs to at least ally himself with either the Janus or the Altair Clan.
It's more probable with the Janus side instead of the Altair. As the Janus Clan only needs power and fame in exchange for a marriage alliance with the Altair Family, it would be impossible unless Marshal Sirius itself fell for Navi Naja.
Prince Rigel said, "Naja, I will help you take the compatibility test with someone from the Altair and Janis Clan. He needs to get some allies from their side so you can do whatever you want to Feng Jing."
Once this immature young man heard about this, his eyes glowed in interest. "Brother, I agree!"

Middle Region
Forest Area.
Feng Jing and the team finally entered the next region where they could hunt zergs and accumulate Kill Points. As soon as they entered the land, they followed the map completely by the drone Solaris Vega had programmed to roam around the area. Thankfully, it was able to return before they went to the next land.
The one in the lead of the group was Qu Yeon. At the center just behind him are Tang Si, Si Shen, and Wu Liu. Behind these three are Feng Wu, Feng Jing, and the other ordinary people wearing support mechas. On the right is guarded by Tang Yi and Han Ling while on the left is Bai Yuyan and Qu Yul. The rear is protected by Xue Ran and Tang San. They are running along near the water source which goes along the whole region.
"Hm? Something is coming over," said Bai Yuyan.
Tang Si said, "I feel it too but…"
"But why?" asked Qu Yeon.
It was Si Shen and Wu Liu who answered the question of the man at the vanguard position.
Si Shen, "Its presence keeps appearing then disappearing."
"As if it could make its aura disappear on its own," said Wu Liu.
Feng Jing was smiling all the way while even sipping the Iced Cappuccino drink he took out from his space.
"You can use what I gave you. It can never miss any detection," said Feng Jing.
Everyone remembered the radar option of the program Feng Jing had installed in their light brain. With that, they've all started tapping their temples to activate the mapping mode. Now a holographic screen appeared in front of them showing three glowing blue-green dots on the map coming on their way at a fast speed.
[Ding! Incoming Bee type Zerg. Level: Medium. Numbers: 3. Capabilities: Flying speed, Paralyzing Poison, and short teleportation. Coming at the rear! It will arrive at our location in 3 minutes.
Ding! I repeat! Incoming Bee type Zerg. Level: Medium. Numbers: 3. Capabilities: Flying speed, Paralyzing Poison, and short teleportation. Coming at the rear! It will arrive at our location in 3 minutes.]
The twin cursed, "Fuck! A mid-rank zerg that could teleport!?"
"Is that even fair!?" complained Han Ling.
Qu Yul said, "Stop bemoaning. Be thankful that it could only teleport at a short distance or it would have long appeared in front of us!"
"Get ready! It's about to teleport here!" said Bai Yuyan. As a guide, his spirit energy is stronger than Qu Yeon's. So, he could feel the ripples in the energy around it, especially whenever it tried to use its skill to teleport.
Qu Yeon and the rest pulled out their weapons. Their formations had shifted, making Qu Yeon at the rear with the rest of the Sentinels all spread out of the group. The ordinary students all brought out an energy gun to protect themselves and support the team from behind. Feng Jing had already jumped at some treetops with the others spreading their formation further but for his case, he was out there by Feng Wu for his safety.
KRRIEK. KRIEEEK… KRIIEEK~
After the words Bai Yuyan had spoken, a certain movement could be heard from the direction the program had informed them just now. As expected, three huge black bees came flying towards them. Qu Yeon jumps on one and fights it. The moment he did that the other two bee-type zerg had teleported.
The guides shouted, "At the right at five o'clock and eight o'clock at the left!"
The two zerg appeared at what their guides had announced. The sentinel guarding the right and left had a jump of the exact location before the bee completely appeared. Xue Ran, Han Ling, Qu Yul, and Bau Yuyan held a sword slash towards those directions.
KRIIEEEEEEK!!!
Han Ling reacted, "Damn! They've really teleported in these coordinates."
"Keep slashing! That's a mid-sized zerg. It wouldn't die with a single slash." said Qu Yul.
Tang Yi and Tang San support them and Qu Yeon with energy guns. Tang Si is supporting him with his spirit energy causing confusion to the mind of the zerg. Si Shen and Wu Liu did the same for the other two teams. While the ordinary people like Solaris Vega and the rest were helping in keeping the area safe just in case something else appeared on their location while some helped in providing support by sending spare energy bullets and so on.
At the tree branches, Feng Jing and Feng Wu were watching the rest of the fight. As he had said before, he wouldn't help them unless they were in a life-and-death situation.
"Hm? A'Wu at 6 o'clock in the rear. There's one high-leveled zerg coming. If it suddenly came over here, these children would get distracted. Kill it and return." ordered Feng Jing.
Feng Wu saluted and said, "As you ordered, my lord."
With a single step towards the pointed directly at the rear, Feng Wu disappeared, obviously, his speed isn't what an SS rank Guide should possess. After all, like Feng Jing, he isn't originally from this world.
The group of children took an hour to defeat three mid-sized zergs but they weren't too tired as this is what they had trained for. At the moment the death of the zergs had been confirmed, their communicators had all ring.
[Ping! You have killed three mid-level zergs and one high-level zerg. Your team had gained 1900 KP. Your total KP is 2900. Work Hard!]
