Chapter 82

"Both of them must be military experts; otherwise, they couldn't pull off such moves!"

"Who has the time for such idle chatter, but no matter who they are, it's a good opportunity for us to see what they can do."

The girls chattered away, and soon the topic shifted to whether the skeleton was male or female.

An Mei felt that the skeleton was likely a girl because it was too calm; generally, only female warriors could be so meticulous in battle.

Wang Zheng, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly sneezed several times, as if a cold wind had swept by.

In the dormitory, Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were still up like night owls. The internal activities of their legion had just started, and if they weren't both so clumsy, they would have already joined the matches.

At first, the two of them had led their teams into battle, but they lost so badly that even their mothers wouldn't recognize them. The key was that once in battle, all their knowledge vanished, making it clear they were purely theoretical.

Wang Zheng snored on the bed, and the two exchanged glances. Rumor had it that the kid had a broken heart, but Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu didn't think much of it. In this day and age, having a broken heart could be a good thing, and they were still single.

Zhang Shan hadn't returned yet. This guy was now a training fanatic, with his combat genes fully activated. As Allen put it, he was on a one-way path to physical prowess.

Not long after the exchange program at the three military academies ended, Masato's withdrawal from school drew considerable attention.

The War God Academy's pride and joy, the transfer student, had all left. Gute had tried his best to retain them, but Masato was very determined. This place just wasn't suitable for him.

He came with a flourish and left quietly, taking nothing and leaving nothing. Since Masato's performance hadn't been overwhelmingly impressive, his departure only sparked a brief discussion among the students, and he remained low-key.

On the space elevator to the moon, Masato carried a simple backpack. Through the space station's window, Earth was clearly visible. This period of life had left him with many memories.

His skyphone rang, and Masato opened it to see a short-haired, sharp-looking girl in a silver uniform characteristic of the moon, which made her look even more beautiful.

"Still a bit nostalgic, huh?" Miro teased.

Masato smiled slightly. "Earth is indeed beautiful."

"You mean the culture. After your trip to Earth, you've become more sentimental. How do you feel about their level of skill?"

"Roughly, I'd give them a C. The average level isn't high, but a few individuals are quite strong. Lear is very powerful."

"Hehe, how could a rival that caught the boss's attention be wrong? It's always good to lay the groundwork. Come back quickly; everyone is ready. Overall, we are still the strongest."

Miro smiled sweetly.

Masato's mind suddenly flashed to Wang Zheng. He was naive in some ways but impressive in others.

"Did you find anything unexpected?"

"I might have found the person," Masato said softly.

Miro was taken aback. "Are you sure?"

"Not entirely. I investigated, and this person has only 28 genes. His physical condition is good, but he doesn't have Xfk power."

Masato shrugged.

"My intuition isn't always accurate, but I can confirm that someone without Xfk power has limited potential. It's probably not him."

The two chatted for a while, clearly well-informed about the main forces in the solar system, including the most outstanding young talents on each planet.

But Wang Zheng's image lingered in Masato's mind. The data from the exchange was impressive, but frankly, he could have done it too, and even better. However, the key was that in his interactions with Wang Zheng, Masato never felt his "presence."

The space shuttle arrived, and Masato took one last look at Earth. Some people, he would meet again.

When they met again, they would be opponents.

Wang Zheng woke up early, fully back to his normal routine. He attended classes and exercised as usual. Aina was out of touch, but Yan Xiaosu was somewhat relieved, thinking Wang Zheng had adjusted well.

Now, Yan Xiaosu was most concerned about Huiyin's arrival. The thought of seeing Huiyin made both him and An Mei very happy.

At lunch, the four of them ate together, and Ye Zisu also joined. Regarding Aina's departure, Ye Zisu wasn't sure if she should be happy. She had anticipated this result, but there was still a faint sadness.

An Mei was furious. In the dorm, Ye Zisu was always like this. The competitor was gone, and she was happy, but why worry so much? In this day and age, if you find a good man, you should act quickly, regardless of sadness. It seemed Ye Zisu really liked Wang Zheng. Apart from being a bit clever and occasionally charming, he didn't seem to have any other standout qualities. How could he make Ye Zisu like him so much?

According to Yan Xiaosu, the two were classmates but had no interaction at Dawn.

Love at first sight?

Ye Zisu wasn't an impulsive girl, but anyone who silently admired a boy for four years would have a special place for him in their heart.

Pride and self-respect always kept her from speaking up. Ye Zisu often thought that if not for the fear of Yue Jing's ridicule, she might have already been with Wang Zheng.

"Wang Zheng, Huiyin is coming soon. Have you thought about where to take her?" Ye Zisu suddenly said.

An Mei and Ye Zisu froze. "Xiaoye, what did you say? Lin Huiyin?"

Girls naturally form cliques, and the four of them split into two groups. In the dorm, Ye Zisu and An Mei were close, while Meng Tian and Du Qingqing were more compatible and affectionate.

"It's a school assignment. I'm supposed to represent the school with Wang Zheng, but I don't know what she likes."

Wang Zheng slapped his head. "Oops, I forgot about that."

The three looked at each other, and Yan Xiaosu was about to explode. If not for the fear of revealing too much, he would have jumped up.

"Boss, Lin Huiyin, Lin Huiyin!" Yan Xiaosu looked frustrated.

Wang Zheng smiled. "An Mei, you need to control him. He's being so bold in front of you."

An Mei pinched Yan Xiaosu's slightly plump face. "Special permission. If this guy can charm Lin Huiyin, I'll be the little one."

Wang Zheng was stunned and gave Yan Xiaosu a thumbs up. "A real man!"

Yan Xiaosu smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, feeling very honored.

"Big stars are hard to please. Let's just go with the flow."

Wang Zheng shrugged indifferently.

"True, it might not be a good assignment."

"Ah, you two are so ungrateful. If it were me, I'd get a hundred autographs, sell each for ten thousand, and make a million!"

The rich Yan Xiaosu immediately calculated the profit.

Wherever Yan Xiaosu was, there was joy. His unpredictable mind always brought surprises.

At that moment, on the distant Aslan planet, Aina had returned. The entire Aslan planet was preparing for a grand celebration, the 16th birthday of Princess Aina Aslan.

Undoubtedly, this was not only a festival for Aslan but also for all the unmarried young men in the galaxy. At this banquet, the princess would lead the first dance, and who would be her dance partner was the current hot topic.

The nobles of the Aslan Empire, if they had unmarried sons, were desperately trying to get on the list. Dancing with the princess at such an important event would leave a deep impression, regardless of future opportunities.

Although it was still some time away, the festive atmosphere in the Aslan Empire was already very thick, even more so than the Aslan Easter.

Kasawen looked at the now calm Aina with satisfaction. She knew Aina could handle it. Aina was a big-picture thinker, far better than Huiyin.

Aslan needed a great queen. If Aina could do it, she would have to make many sacrifices.

"Aina, the royal family has started preparations. If you have any special requests, just say so, and we'll try to fulfill them."

Aina smiled. "It's not just my coming-of-age ceremony but everyone's festival. I hope everyone is happy."

"Naive girl, although many people are celebrating with you, you are the most important, unique in the entire galaxy." Kasawen knew Aina well. Aina's mother had died giving birth to her, and the king was busy with state affairs, so Aina was essentially raised by Kasawen.

Aina just smiled, and Kasawen knew that a girl in her first love couldn't change so quickly. "Aina, let me ask you a question. If you have a property that you can sell for 100,000 now, but if you wait three years, it will be worth 1,000,000, would you sell now or wait three years?"

"Of course, I'd wait three years."

Kasawen smiled and nodded. The royal style was to hint, and she believed Aina would understand. The Aina of now and the Aina of three years from now would make different choices. For a regular girl, it might not matter, but not for her. She was the symbol of Aslan and couldn't afford to make mistakes.

Aina's eyes twinkled, and she understood what Kasawen meant. Her iron-fisted prime minister was not only decisive but also skilled at persuasion.

"Aunt, let's make it grand. I want more people to share in it!"

"Hehe, rest assured. The chairman of the Galactic Alliance and the commander of the Galactic Army will be there, as well as important figures from other planets. Your coming-of-age ceremony is also Aslan's dignity."

Kasawen's tone was filled with pride for the empire, a sentiment that permeated every Aslan citizen.

It was this self-respect, confidence, and strength that made the great Aslan Empire. In this country, not only was the power strong, but every Aslan citizen also had a spirit of sacrifice, making Aslan inviolable.

Kasawen trusted Aina because, from the beginning, Aina's skyphone had not contacted Earth again. Besides, Kasawen couldn't imagine what kind of excellent boy could be found in such a backward place.

After seeing too many jewels, one might occasionally want to smell the earth.
