"Haha, that"s me. Welcome to the Divine College." Fergos walked out slowly from the corner with three Elders. "Your strength surprised me, young man. If I"m not wrong, you should be from a very unique place.""You have a good eye." Kong smiled. He bowed to Fergos. "Kong, the Chosen One from Theron Astral, greets Dean Fergos."
Indeed, Kong was indeed the Chosen One!
Fergos and the three Elders looked at each other and they could see the worry each of them had. Fergos smiled and said, "Since you are the Chosen One, I will cut the chase. Come with me. I saw the fight between you and Bei Yuanqing earlier. I need to heal him first and ensure his life safety."
"No problem." Kong nodded. "Please, Dean Fergos."
They returned to the dean"s office. Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a large group of people gathered there. Fergos took a step forward, and the rich energy of life erupted. The severely injured Bei Yuanqing grew back both his hands and feet, with the exception of his p.e.n.i.s…
Fergos: "Seeing how you mobilized so many people today, you must be going to Hong Dali"s people for trouble. Such activities are not encouraged. Hence, I have to let your little brother rest for a few more days."
Bei Yuanqing fumed. But he held his emotions back, clenched his teeth, and nodded. "Okay. Thank you, Dean!"
Then they left.
"Weakling." Kong shook his head. "He"s not too powerful, but he has quite the temper."
"Haha. Compared to you, the Chosen One, he"s indeed a little weak." Dean Fergos led Kong and the three Elders into his office and closed the door. "Alright, Mr. Kong. Can you tell me why you"re here? According to the agreement, you"re three days ahead of time."
Shenglong Astral, one of the many Astrals in the Universe.
Dozens of neighboring Astral, such as the Theron Astral, were considered friendly allies. As the Chosen One, Kong naturally had his own calling. He had agreed to an academic exchange, but he unexpectedly arrived three days early. His purpose was unknown.
"Actually, it"s nothing." Kong said slowly, "I"m just curious about the strength of the people here. Hence, I came early to take a look."
"And, how is it?" the dean said insipidly.
In fact, the reason why he arranged for Krishnata, also known as Cutie Ke, to Hong Dali"s cla.s.s, then for them to head to Cutie Ke"s planet for the Trial Course, was to prevent Theron Astral"s Chosen One from meeting Hong Dali.
Fergos" decision was proven right—Hong Dali had just left and now Kong was here.
"The students in college are so-so." Kong shook his head. "Bei Yuanqing"s strength is inadequate. But I heard there are more powerful students. One called Gu Feifei, the other, Hong Dali?"
Kong actually knew about Gu Feifei and Hong Dali? Bei Yuanqing must have told him that. This idiot!
"They left for training," Fergos said with a gentle smile. "They will be away for a week."
The exchange would end one week late. It did not matter how Kong fought with the Chosen Ones from other Astrals. Nothing must happen to Hong Dali. Otherwise, the entire Shenglong Astral would be turbulent!
Although Hong Dali was a prodigal, he was linked to countless relations.
Hong Xingyu and his wife treated him as a precious treasure. He was an eyesore for the Bei and Zhu families. His lackeys were all people with great potential, and he had the Zerg as his backing. Coupled with his special skills related to his squandering, if anything were to happen to this guy, the entire Shenglong Astral would absolutely be in a mess without a doubt.
At the very least, if he died, the Hong Family would collapse. Hong Xingyu would not wait till the Marriage Annulment Challenge to fight this Chosen One. Then, he would fail in the Marriage Annulment Challenge and the Hong Family would be dissolved. The Zerg would definitely riot. In addition, if his lackeys prepared for revenge, there would be no peace on Shenglong Astral.
"Training?" Kong frowned and thought for a while. Then, he asked, "Where did he go for training?"
"This…" Fergos paused for a moment with the thought of hiding the truth. But, he soon replied with a smile, "A small planet belonging to Fire Dragons, Fiery Star Planet."
If he hid the location from him, it would be like openly inviting suspicion. If he was honest about it, this Chosen One might lose his interest—at least as the Chosen One, he would not be pressurized facing ordinary people. The more he said it nonchalantly, the more he would not be interested.
"This way…" Indeed. Kong thought for a while and finally lost interest in heading to Fiery Star Planet to look for Hong Dali and Gu Feifei. "Since they are away for training, I won"t go. The journey is too far. There"s no point in wasting time."
It was not surprising that Kong was not interested.
Although Bei Yuanqing tried to direct his misfortune, he was too weak, after all. This created the impression that even if Hong Dali and Gu Feifei were a little stronger than him, there would not be too big a difference between their strength. It did not matter whether he went or not.
"Hehe, in that case, I"ll arrange for a place for you to stay." Fergos. .h.i.t the iron while it was hot and quickly kept Kong within the college. As to what he intended to do here, as long as it was not too much, he could agree with pretty much everything.
"In that case, I will have to trouble you." Kong nodded.
When Fergos sent Kong away, he immediately informed a few bigger families in Tianyuan City.
"Theron Astral"s warrior, Kong, is staying at the Divine College. If there"s nothing much, members of the bigger families are advised not to create trouble outside. If anyone accidentally offends Kong, they will have to bear the consequences!"
Although Fergos did not specifically mention Kong"s ident.i.ty, as the dean of the Divine College, who would dare to disregard his reminder?
Hence, everyone laid low in Tianyuan City, avoiding any exchanges with Kong.
…
On the other side, prodigal Hong Dali had arrived on Cutie"s Ke"s home planet, Fiery Star Planet, via the Interstellar Advanced s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
"Wow. This is your home planet?" Hong Dali looked at the flying dragons everywhere and huge dragons everywhere on land and drooled. "Such cute dragons! Hahahaha! I like this place. This is a good place!"
Long live the beautiful nature! Long live giant dragons planet!
"My hometown is beautiful, right?" Cutie Ke was proud to be back at home. "The environment here is very good, and there is sufficient aura in the atmosphere. It"s very suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn"t have the chance to enroll in the Divine College."
It was no wonder Cutie Ke was so proud.
Although she belonged to the Fire Dragons race, it was very different from what people imagined it to be.
There were quite a lot of volcanoes on this planet. Those were generally the settlements of the Fire Dragons. The entire Fiery Star Planet was 180,000 kilometers in diameter, most of which were covered by the ocean. The land was covered with gra.s.s and dense forests. Rivers were spread across the gra.s.sland like a net.
On this planet, animals were very well developed. The Dragon race took care of the place and maintained the balance of the entire world.
"The environment is not bad, indeed." Gu Feifei looked around.
They had landed on a huge plot of gra.s.sland. Several odd-looking animals were grazing—to them, other than the Giant Dragons who were on top of the food chain, the others were basically quite safe to be around. Although some smaller carnivores could also pose a threat to them, that was generally part of the food chain and there was no need to worry too much about it.
"Alright, students." Mentor Jynx clapped his hands and said, "According to the coordinates, the settlement of the Fire Dragons is about ten kilometers from here. We will walk over from here as a sign of respect to the Fire Dragon race."
The dragons were a proud race. If s.p.a.cecraft landed on them, they would easily attack them. Then, a tragedy would occur—there was no attribute compression force field here. The attack of the Fire Dragons should not be taken as a joking matter.
"Okay." The students nodded.
Ten kilometers on foot was nothing to the students in the Physical Training Faculty. Hence, everyone set off while chatting and laughing.
On the way, the students all checked news of the stock market on their holographic projection computer. Clearly, it was big news for Boyuan"s shares to be suspended. Hence, many people discussed it—
"Celebrating the restructuring of Boyuan Shares. We can finally be rid of it!" "I heard that the Hong Family is behind the restructuring of the Boyuan shares. When it resumes trading, I think it will hit the trading limit for 10 consecutive days!" "I think it will hit 15 even. I think it will cost 50 dollars per share."
Such discussions happened everywhere. Hong Dali"s cla.s.smates were all eager to find out if Hong Dali had any insider news. Hence, they crowded around him. "Big Brother Dali, let me help you carry something. Just tell us the forecast for Boyuan Inc.!" "Yes, yes, yes. Big Brother Dali is our G.o.d of Fortune. My pocket money depends on this. I think it should hit the trading limit for seven or eight consecutive days when it resumes trading. Our profit will be doubled!" "More than that, I think it will be ten consecutive days!"
Not just ordinary students, even Gu Feifei and a few others strained to listen. Especially Mentor Jynx…
"Oh, that stock looks quite promising." Hong Dali chuckled. "Anyway, you won"t lose money. Hold on to it. It pays to wait, wait!"
With such a powerful person around, feelings ran high. This Must Be A Great G.o.d!
