Chapter 13 - School Auditorium, Gathering Ground of Talents

Time flies. Two days passed in a blink of an eye. With the sound of the prompt outside, Lu Feng, sitting cross-legged on the bed, finally opened his eyes. At this moment, a strange light flashed through the eyes of Lu Feng. In the pupils, there appeared two cluster of clouds. But they disappeared in an instant. "Lu Feng. Lu Feng. Your friend Li Yongheng is waiting outdoors." "Lu Feng. Lu Feng. Your friend Li Yongheng is waiting outdoors." The constant noising of the prompt drove Lu Feng out of bed. He turned it off and walked straight towards the door. Seconds later, Lu Feng should have passed through the giant townhouse. Li Yongheng would be astounded to see this, for it never became an ordinary person. The speed could only be seen in a warrior or above. But by the departure from Lu Feng the other day, his physical strength was even below a half-star level. Lu Feng smiled as he opened the door and saw Li Yongheng in a long face. His smile did come from the bottom of his heart. These days, he had been thinking of the so-called family members who paid a visit a few days ago. But he did not figure it out anyway. And Lu Feng would not bother to crack it. From his point of view, the so-called clans were way worse than the good buddy whom he grew up with. Even Li Haiping, father of Li Yongheng, would outweigh those so-called clans in the eyes of Lu Feng. Lu Feng knew it that Li Yonghe was worried because of him. Different from Lu Feng, Li Yongfeng really was a genius. He had an extremely powerful cultivation in terms of a warrior. And he had become a junior warrior at the peak level. He could be a genuine intermediate warrior any time. But it seemed that he was still trying not to show what he was capable of. As far as the examination was concerned, Li Yongheng could make it without much effort, not taking into account of his father's influence. "Lu Feng, how's your cultivation these days? You do have to make it. Otherwise we will be breaking our agreement." Anxiety was heard from his tones. These days, Li Yongheng was unable to stay calm back home. There was everything that prompted the question the minute they met. Lu Feng responded with a confident smile to the anxious tone. He was different now. He had transformed. He was no longer the loser Lu Feng he once had been. Who could ever transform from a loser that had no mental power at all or half-star level of physical strength to a junior mage and warrior? It was a miracle. And that made Lu Feng unique in the entire federation. Li Yonghong was a little surprised to see Lu Feng's confident look. And his nervousness got somewhat relieved. He asked doubtfully and jokingly, "Lu Feng, are you a junior mage now? Tell you what. Do not waste that vial of Mentality Waking Portion. You have no idea how badly I got beaten. My dad would have sent me to the military court if I did not confess that it was you who I gave to." Lu Feng held the words to be true. Li Haiping, father to Li Yongheng, was a true warrior, upright and impartial. He observed the principle that business was business and never placed emotion above laws. It explained why Li Yongheng became men of the hour in the school with his own extraordinary talents instead of the standing and background way superior to those of Lu Feng. Lu Feng tapped at Li Yongheng and said, "The examination is around the corner. You'll see then. What I said now, I'm afraid that you won't believe it. Let's wait and see." Lu Feng's confident look cast out the last trace of doubt of Li Yongheng. The two walked towards the school. Soon did they arrive at the school and head towards the auditorium where a graduation ceremony was to be held. Greetings were heard along the way. Although Lu Feng was not able to cultivate his power, there were quite a number of muggles like him. Lu Feng had a good reputation in the school and therefore, a lot of people would say hi to the man of the day. And most of them were girls... "Lu Feng, you are so popular here. You see, when you appear, any girl will take a look at you. It got me why Li Yan would turn to Wang Qu, the piece of garbage by breaking up with..." Li Yongheng did not utter the last word but wear an awkward face. He knew the feelings of Lu Feng towards Li Yan. They had a history for two years. And it was Li Yan who dumped Lu Feng. It was a scar in Lu Feng's mind. And he felt so sorry to bring it up. But Lu Feng only shrugged to the embarrassed Li Yongheng. He was very calm. He did feign it and he really was. "It's okay. What's the big deal of breakup? She was not my only one. My love for her was never deep to bones." That being said, a figure appeared in the head of Lu Feng. It was vague and invisible. But somehow, Lu Feng could feel the weight it held in his heart. He could not remember whether he knew a person like this one. He shook his head and shook out the figure from his impression. Lu Feng got himself together and went on the walk towards the auditorium with Li Yongheng. ... "Well, well, well. If it weren't young master of Lus. What brings you here? The ceremony and what else?" Lu Feng did not react to the sound. But Li Yongheng darkened his face. He turned around to the direction where the sound came. He said with a bit anger, "Zhao Qiang, save it. You just can't pick your size to bully. Do you have the guts to fight with me? Winner takes the enrollment quota of talents which belongs to Lu Feng. I spare you from harm for ten seconds. You've got no balls. I dare you. " The comer was Zhao Qiang who won the enrollment quota from Lu Feng three years ago. In the federation, a contract was always protected by the federal laws, with no exception to anyone. Zhao Qiang changed his face slightly upon hearing Li Yongheng. Despite the fact that he was himself a junior warrior, but when compared with Li Yongheng, a junior warrior at the peak level, he did see the large gap in between. Besides, Li Yongheng had practiced the martial formulas in real terms. Even though he was not good at comprehension and did not break though the junior level of martial formulas, his own talents were able to conjure up an increase by several times. Once they were engaged, he would be kicked in the ass by Li Yonghong within an instant. Moments later, Zhao Qiang covered his embarrassment and looked at Lu Feng, "I am not foolish enough to engage in a lost battle. But seriously, I have to thank you, Lu Feng. Well, I do have the ticket to the Federal University, but with this enrollment quota of talents, I hop on a fast lane. Thank you so much this time." Zhao Qiang did not take a glance at Li Yongheng as he said so, and then he turned around, heading directly to the Auditorium. Li Yongheng stared at him, with melancholy and silence. The enrollment quota for talents warranted the direct access to the Federal University without taking any examination. These talents were treated better than those ordinary students were. Zhao Qiang, admitted into the Federal University a talent, would be likely to move along with all those resources. Lu Feng smiled when he saw the long face of Li Yongheng. He reached out a hand and tapped his best friend, "Yongheng, no worry. An enrollment quota for talents is never a big deal." Li Yongheng was still somewhat melancholic upon hearing Lu Feng. But he let slip of the topic eventually. He looked at Lu Feng and released a deep sigh, "I do have an enrollment quota for talents. I was hoping that my mom could make some arrangements for us to stick together when we are admitted into the Federal University talents. But now, I see no light of hope." Li Yongheng's mother was a big short who worked at the top level of government. Inferior to Li Haiping in terms of social standing, her mother played an even more active role in the daily life. Lu Feng said nothing but smiled. There were sparkles in his eyes as he saw off Zhao Qiang. It was a scornful and cold smile. "Talents? Stop bragging." A talent could barely hold a high standing when compared to a mage. There were four hundred thousand students in the School of Red Orchid Planet, Federal University, with a quarter in each grade. And among the one hundred thousand students, a thousand or two were talents. But the mages were less than fifty. The bridge was as wide as such. Li Yongheng was still cursing Zhao Qiang and heard no murmurs of Lu Feng. He followed Lu Feng when he left. Soon, they walked into the Auditorium, when it was fully seated. The total number of students, teachers and specially invited parents added to over thirty thousand, which was very scary. But the magnificent auditorium seemed to be able to accommodate more. The auditorium took a shape of a cube, with each side stretching nearly a thousand meters. And the auditorium had other functions rather than a ceremony place for graduation. It was recognized by its function as a competition site. The competitions among the warriors happened here. And so did the special examination of the Federal University to come.
