1555 The Seven Stellar Academies’ Invigilators! (1)

There was a ten-day break after the top eighteen were decided.

Wang Teng thought he could spend some time tallying his spoils, never expecting that someone would find him so soon.

“Colonel Wang Teng, the generals are looking for you.”

It was Major Maxwell, the one who greeted him in the beginning. He saluted the hero with respect.

“The generals are looking for me?” Wang Teng frowned and said in a puzzled tone, “The competition is still in progress. I don’t think it’s proper for me to just leave like this, right?”

“Don’t worry, the generals have already gotten permission from the Seven Stellar Academies’ invigilators. Furthermore, they’re here as well.” The official smiled.

“The Seven Stellar Academies invigilators are here!” exclaimed the Second Prince and the others, before the young hero could reply.

The latter was a little surprised as well. None of the invigilators had made an appearance thus far. Only one of their voices was heard when the Great Lightning Monster showed up. The young hero never thought they would meet in the flesh.

However, he quickly guessed it was about the mixed blood fellow’s situation.

Looks like the Seven Stellar Academies are also concerned about this matter.

“What…” Ji Haochen couldn’t help but say, “Can we go?”

“This!” Maxwell was a bit flustered. He said with some hesitation, “The generals only requested Colonel Wang Teng’s presence, so…”

“Ah~” Ji Haochen dropped his head and stared at the earthling with jealousy, “Why doesn’t anything good ever happen to me?”

“That’s right. Nothing this good has ever happened to us,” Timothy said enviously.

“I don’t think so. This isn’t anything good.” Wang Teng was at a loss.

Ji Haochen exclaimed, “Not a good thing? They are the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies. To actually be able to meet them before the competition ends. This means that you’ve already drawn their attention; you can even get up close and personal with them and leave a good impression. When the time comes, you’ll be able to go to whichever academy you wish.”

“Don’t say that…” Wang Teng patted the latter’s shoulder. “Even if I don’t meet them, I can still choose any academy. Some people aren’t the same.”

Ji Haochen clutched his chest and took a step back. “Get lost!”

“Hahaha.” Wang Teng burst out laughing when he saw his reaction.

“All right, all right. Go quickly; don’t let the invigilators wait for too long,” said the Second Prince, waving a hand with a disgusted look.

“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Wang Teng called for Major Maxwell and they left together.

Once the top eighteen were decided, Leng Qianxue, Gaunt and the others were already with all the finalists, so they heard the exchange.

A strange glow appeared in Leng Qianxue’s eyes as she looked at the young hero’s retreating back.

She felt that he was awfully peculiar.

A trace of jealousy appeared in Gaunt, Jiang Weisheng and Strachey’s eyes. They wanted to take his place. Alas, they couldn’t.

…

Wang Teng followed Maxwell and entered the military’s spacecraft. He then met with the three eternal stage generals and a few powerful figures next to them.

Their eyes had been on him ever since he entered.

The scrutiny caused the young hero’s heart to skip a beat.

Those strangers were very likely the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies. From appearance alone they seemed to be extremely powerful; even Wang Teng’s Real Eye was unable to ascertain their cultivation. Some sort of hazy fog was enveloping their bodies.

As far as he knew, they were probably eternal stage warriors!

“Huh?”

Seven was the number of the powerhouses representing the academies. Wang Teng couldn’t help but gasp softly upon noticing that there was an eighth expert.

“Grand Duke Chongshan!”

It was a middle aged man with thick black hair and a magnificent figure. His body radiated a noble aura; however, there was no condescension coming from him. Even so, his sole presence would compel people to lower their heads and avoid making eye contact with him.

If our hero didn’t have a strong will, he probably would have prostrated himself on the ground as a display of submission.

The man was none other than Grand Duke Chongshan, the one he met previously!

General Fu Xinglan said, “Wang Teng, come over and meet Grand Duke Chongshan and the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies.”

Wang Teng nodded and greeted them with a formal salute, “Greetings Grand Duke, and honored invigilators!”

“Wang Teng, you’ve done well in this competition.” The Grand Duke smiled.

“You flatter me,” the young one said modestly.

“Your performance has indeed been stunning. I’ve served as an invigilator for several League Of Talents’ editions, but this is the first time I have seen an outstanding performance such as yours.” A white-haired, middle aged man smiled warmly. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Sikong the Second, invigilator from the Seventh Stellar Academies!”

Sikong the Second? Wang Teng was confused. What kind of name is this?

The expert seemed to know what the youth was thinking and smiled. “My name is a bit special. You can just call me Instructor Sikong in the future, if fate allows it.”

The young hero rushed to comply, “Instructor Sikong.” Whether or not they would meet in the future, there was no loss in greeting him like that first.

“Hahaha…” The elder was taken aback by the response and laughed. “You’re an interesting fellow.”
