Anyway, things have already come to this. Having the name of Thunder God is better than having nothing at all. Both sides can just take what they need.
Zhang Wen cast aside those distracting thoughts and proceeded to ask Omega about some specific questions regarding the Southern Border Champion Tournament and its schedule. He learned that after the conclusion of the second phase test, there would be a three-day break, followed by the official competition for the Southern Border Championship. The venue for the final would also be within the Infinite Colosseum, though it would take place on the most central islands—quite different from the current small outer island’s environment.
Walking back to his own people, Zhang Wen organized his thoughts. He was determined to participate in the final match for the South Border’s overlord. He must defeat the Black Viscount and prevent his claws from extending into the South Border’s territory. This terrifying enemy would not let him have an easy time, and likewise, he would not allow the enemy to expand his power, or else his own safety would be even more at risk.
Einel gestured to Carite, stopping her from disturbing Zhang Wen’s thoughts. A clever woman knows when to be affectionate with her man and when to give him space. She truly deserved her reputation as the wise woman of Kentucky.
In the latter part of the night, everyone rested by the campfire for a while, and only when the sky began to lighten did they regain their energy.
Although according to the blue-clad man Anthony, the second round of testing wouldn’t conclude until evening, for Zhang Wen and Agate, it had clearly already lost any sense of challenge.
The Thunder God Omega had already returned to the Star Moon vessel accompanied by his disciples. Zhang Wen surmised that his injuries required proper rest and recuperation.
Zhang Wen and the boring Agate, along with Iniel, Carite, and Batengping, began to wander around the island. With Agate and Batengping, both high-level experts, ensuring their safety, there was naturally no problem. No one in their right mind would dare to harass them.
However, on the way back towards evening, there was still a bit of an unexpected incident. First, the Queen and the two powerful figures, Mengnan and Gaogan, appeared on a towering tree, gazing at Zhang Wen with unwillingness. Due to the intentional release of their high-level energy fluctuations by Agate and Batengping, the Queen ultimately disappeared reluctantly.
At the very moment before boarding the Star-Moon Vessel, Hong Xie, the fifth overlord of the Infinite Arena, rode her gigantic scorpion as it erupted from the ground. On her cold face, two icy-blue eyes fixed their gaze on Zhang Wen, filled with hatred growing wildly like rampant weeds.
Encountering such a powerful Overlord, the Fire Demon Agate eagerly wanted to test his strength, but Zhang Wen gently persuaded him otherwise. He said it was his own matter and there was no need to trouble the Fire Demon; he could handle it himself.
Although Zhang Wen was only a Saint-tier cultivator, with the Star Moon Vessel as his backing, he once again elevated his combat power to the Transcendent realm by harnessing the amplified will-energy from the vessel’s naturally surging stone power.
He wore a faintly helpless smile as he turned toward the Red Scorpion Woman. The two of them disappeared from everyone’s sight, one after the other. Half an hour later, Zhang Wen returned safely, his clothes in disarray. Seeing his self-satisfied expression, people couldn’t help but form unpleasant suspicions, wondering whether he had taken advantage of the Red Scorpion Woman, Hellena.
…
In the vast depths of space, a stealthy black warship silently hovered within an asteroid belt.
Looking through layers of alloyed steel decks, one could see Lord Hei lounging lazily against a pillar inside the core control room. His right hand—thumb, index, and middle fingers—delicately held a transparent goblet, elegantly swirling the red wine within.
After taking a deep sniff of the wine’s aroma, Lord Hei wore an elegant smile on his face. “Indeed, this kind of natural wine is the most delicious,” he murmured. Taking a gentle sip, he continued speaking towards the nearby telecommunication device, “Zhang Wen has passed the second phase test? It seems even our Fifth Overlord couldn’t handle him… I knew this fellow was tough.”
A muffled voice came from the communicator.
“Shall I handle it?”
“Hmm.” A cold glint flickered in Viscount Hei’s eyes as he gently sipped the blood-red liquid. “I don’t want to see this person again in the final match for the Southern Region Champion.”
…
The second round of testing seemed simple, but the results were merciless.
In the end, fewer than one-third of the people returned to the Xingyue.
But this was exactly the effect Hassan wanted. Survival of the fittest—only the strongest would remain, and they would be divided into the three teams he had arranged, significantly increasing their chances of winning the championship. As for the fate of those two-thirds who were eliminated, the survivors all maintained a consistent silence. Everyone had mentally prepared themselves before participating in the second phase of the test, although none had expected it to be so brutal.
The more simple a test seems, the more hidden dangers it actually contains. This was the only thought in the minds of those who had returned.
The Star Moon finally set sail.
According to the schedule to return to Casares, there will still be three days of rest and preparation. Three days later, the Star and Moon will take these people to participate in the final decisive battle for the southern border’s supremacy.
…
In the evening, Zhang Wen, together with Iniel, Carite, Batengping, and others, set foot on the land of the Casares planet once again. Having been away for a long time, returning felt just like coming home after a distant journey.
Carrie naturally followed Badeng Ping back to the governor’s mansion to meet her father first. If Governor Milo learned that his beloved daughter Carrie had already been taken by Zhang Wen, he would surely be shocked beyond measure. However, no matter what happened, Zhang Wen was determined not to let anything separate him from Carrie. He would never let go of a woman who belonged to him—even if she was the governor’s daughter.
Although Eneal was unharmed, she couldn’t accompany Zhang Wen to the academy. The group agreed on a time to meet again, and then the elder of the Kentucky clan left, accompanied by the clan’s warriors Kai and Si.
In the end, only Zhang Wen and the fire demon Agate remained. The two never really got along well to begin with. The closer they got to the academy, the more annoyed Agate became, thinking about how close and affectionate Xiao Xi, his beloved younger sister, was with Zhang Wen. Agate couldn’t help but scrutinize Zhang Wen with nitpicking criticism, clearly looking for any excuse to start trouble.
Zhang Wen was too lazy to cause a scene with Agate. He simply nodded in greeting upon returning to the academy before heading straight to his dormitory. No matter how urgent the matter, it could wait until after he had a good rest. As for the academy’s higher-ups, they certainly already knew he had gone to participate in the Southern Border Champion Tournament, so he wasn’t worried about owing them a day or two.
On the way, students from the academy were very surprised when they saw Zhang Wen, and many of them pointed and whispered to each other. Zhang Wen didn’t pay much attention to this.
Pushing open the door to his dorm room, Zhang Wen stretched his arms and yawned lazily, then took a few steps to his bed and lay down on it.
Nothing beats the comfort of your own bed.
Breathing quietly, savoring this rare moment of relaxation. Throughout the journey, the endless cycle of tests had kept my nerves secretly taut; only now, returning to my own planet, my home, did I feel the weariness that follows release.
Enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.
Just as Zhang Wen adjusted his breathing and completely relaxed, he suddenly raised his head instinctively to glance out the window. For a brief moment earlier, he had felt as if someone was watching him.
However, looking through the half-open window, the area outside the academy appeared normal, with only the occasional teacher passing by. The evening glow in the sky resembled clusters of burning flames, extraordinarily beautiful.
It’s probably just my imagination; my nerves are still too tense.
Zhang Wen couldn’t help but smile and shook his head, then shifted to a more comfortable prone position. Closing his eyes, he inhaled the familiar scent of the room and listened to the chime of the academy clock drifting in through the window. Soon, he drifted into a drowsy, half-asleep state.
The heavy door of the room was pushed open soundlessly, and a shadowy figure slipped in quietly. Moving forward with the light, feline steps of a cat, it approached Zhang Wen’s bed. Unfortunately, Zhang Wen had his back to the door and remained completely unaware.
The next moment, the opponent lunged fiercely onto Zhang Wen’s body, pinning him down, while his nimble hands tightly gripped Zhang Wen’s throat.
Silence. Zhang Wen remained motionless, as if unaware of his surroundings.
The hand around his neck tightened slightly, and he was glared at in annoyance: “Hmph, pretending to be asleep again! Do you think you can escape?”
Before the words had even faded, Zhang Wen suddenly arched his waist, flipping her off him and rolling over to pin her beneath his body. He then gently kissed her forehead.
“Amelis!”
The one who sneaked into Zhang Wen’s room was none other than Amelis. Only she would dare to be so bold, secretly entering Zhang Wen’s dormitory—a place no other students had ever dared to approach.
When Zhang Wen returned to the academy, other students saw him, and naturally the news reached Amelia’s ears. As a girl, she learned of the news much faster than guys like Cloud and Zack. Without hesitation, she rushed over to see Teacher Zhang Wen, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
She couldn’t quite tell what kind of feeling was driving her deep inside. Was it concern? Perhaps so.
As soon as I saw Zhang Wen lying on his bed in the dormitory, all the worries of the past few days vanished into thin air, and a playful idea popped into my mind. I decided to play a little prank on Teacher Zhang Wen. After all, who asked him to disappear for so long without sending even a single message?
Actually, the time Zhang Wen had been away wasn’t that long. However, in the girl’s longing heart, time had been invisibly stretched out.
It had been a while since they last met, and Zhang Wen was in high spirits as he affectionately put his arm around the charming young beauty, Amelice.
Her hair was freshly washed, damp and hanging loosely, exuding an intoxicating lily fragrance. Amelice had hurried over to see Zhang Wen and seemed to have forgotten to change her clothes; she was wearing a casual, summery little dress more suitable for staying at home.
A sheer, light pink camisole with spaghetti straps revealed the girl’s rounded shoulders. Her fair, rosy, smooth skin exuded a sensual ivory-like luster. Her delicate collarbone was exceptionally beautiful; especially as the girl lay partially reclined in Zhang Wen’s arms, from his perspective one could see a charming expanse of her alluring, snowy cleavage.
The short, narrow tank top revealed a round and adorable little navel, which looked extremely sexy against the girl’s smooth abdomen. She was wearing a light white mini skirt that barely covered her hips; lying down like this exposed half of her beautiful buttocks.
Any man who saw this tantalizing scene would be unable to resist swallowing hard.
“Ugh, what are you staring at!” Amelia felt a bit smug as she sensed Zhang Wen’s fiery gaze. She puckered her luscious, flower-like lips and playfully twisted her body in a coquettish manner.
“Bad teacher, you were about to forget me, weren’t you?” She gently pinched Zhang Wen’s chest with her delicate finger, then immediately worried she had hurt him, she carefully stroked the spot and even blew on it softly.
This adorable sight made Zhang Wen’s heart race with desire. He couldn’t resist cupping her cheeks and planting a deep, passionate kiss on the girl’s fragrant, luscious lips.
Amelie’s body stiffened for a moment, then she responded to Zhang Wen with fervor. Despite her young age, she boldly expressed her passion for her beloved teacher, Zhang Wen. At times, Amelie felt conflicted and hesitant, unsure if her deep affection for Mr. Zhang was indeed love. The concept of love was still too intricate for someone of her age to fully grasp.
She was at the age of youth and love for play; anyway, it felt good, so just keep going like this.
Unconsciously captivated by Zhang Wen’s passionate kiss, their tongues entwined within each other’s mouths. Zhang Wen forcefully sucked the sweet, virginal saliva from the girl’s mouth, producing an alluring, lewd “squelching” sound. Amelia instinctively writhed her body, her skin gradually flushing a rose-like crimson red, making her look incredibly tempting.
Zhang Wen’s hands were also busy; one of them caressed the girl’s smooth abdomen and waist from below, moving upward until it finally cupped a soft, elastic mound of beauty. He gently and passionately stroked and played with it, eliciting delicate moans and sighs from the girl.
“Bad teacher, bullying me again…” The voice, a mix of accusation and moan, seemed less like a protest and more like a teasing hint.
Zhang Wen’s other hand slid onto the girl’s shapely, upturned buttocks, passionately kneading the smooth, enticing flesh as if he couldn’t get enough of it. Occasionally, his hand would glide over the tender inner thighs, sending electric shivers through her body.
The scorching breath grew increasingly rapid.
Zhang Wen was not satisfied with this contact. He gently turned her soft body, embracing her, letting her lie on top of him, allowing his hands to more thoroughly attend to her sensitive areas.
The girl’s full breasts pressed against Zhang Wen’s chest, trembling continuously as his hands stimulated her. Her delicate, fair face was tinged with an alluring blush. She tightly bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her moans from becoming too loud. There was a deeply captivating charm in her shyness.
One hand rested on Zhang Wen’s chest, absentmindedly tracing circles, while the index finger of the other hand was sucked into the mouth, eyes hazy and unfocused.
“Oh!” Suddenly, the young girl’s waist stiffened, and her body became rigid.
“There… there isn’t okay!” As soon as she finished speaking, her body went limp, and she collapsed onto Zhang Wen’s chest, letting out soft, cat-like moans. Her breathing quickened, and her body shuddered in rhythmic spasms—she had already reached a climax.
Zhang Wen kissed her blushing cheek, “Come, let your teacher cherish you properly…”
“No… don’t!” Amyris, finally regaining her senses from the lingering sensations, blushed deeply and quickly propped herself up. Seeing Zhang Wen’s questioning gaze, she hurriedly explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to… but Zack and Cloud might come to visit you later, and if they see me like this… I…” She became too embarrassed to continue and buried her face into Zhang Wen’s chest. Her neck, as graceful and fair as a swan’s, flushed a delicate shade of crimson from shyness.
“If those two brats dare to say anything bad about the teacher, I’ll give them such a beating.”
Even so, Zhang Wen still embraced Amelis and sat up, adjusting her clothes before preparing to take her out for dinner. He had missed the food here during their time away. It would be even better if they could run into Zack and Cloud along the way.
After getting out of bed, Amelice resumed her lively demeanor and clung to Zhang Wen, eagerly asking him to recount his experiences from the past period. Zhang Wen held her hand, walking along as he narrated his story. When he reached the tense parts, Amelice couldn’t help letting out soft gasps of surprise. The sight of her wide, almond eyes was absolutely adorable.
Zhang Wen didn’t rush to take Amelis to dinner right away. Instead, he went with her to the girls’ dormitory first, so she could change clothes. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the light outfit itself, but having other guys stare at her nonstop made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Among all the women associated with Zhang Wen, Amelice’s legs, though not the longest, had the most aesthetically pleasing lines.
Amiris’s slender and graceful legs are best described as “adding one more portion would make them fat, while reducing one more would make them thin.” Those ivory-white long legs feature elegant and sexy lines; their smooth skin seems to emit a glow even in the darkness, giving a feeling of softness and smoothness. If one were to touch them, they would be amazed to discover an indescribable youthful vitality within those beautiful legs.
Zhang Wen watched from behind as Amelice trotted into the dormitory. Her charming legs swayed, and her tiny miniskirt, barely covering her little bottom, flew up slightly, revealing a glimpse of her pink panties underneath.
Zhang Wen couldn’t help shaking his head and laughing softly.
“This little sprite!”
Next time, you must mention it to her and tell her to pay attention to her dressing. She can’t wear such revealing clothes anymore.
After experiencing these series of events, Zhang Wen’s mindset has also changed. Initially, when his strength was not great, he was content with whatever circumstances he encountered, merely hoping to live a peaceful and stable life in this world. Now, as his strength has grown and he gradually ascends into the ranks of the powerful at the upper echelons of the pyramid, his thoughts and aspirations have naturally evolved as well.
The most obvious change is that he is no longer as casual towards his woman; instead, he has become more dominant and assertive.
Amelis, the female student with whom he had the longest sexual relationship, was naturally considered his woman.
After Amelice changed into a fresh, elegant long dress and walked out, Zhang Wen joined her side by side as they headed out of the courtyard. They chatted and laughed along the way, enjoying the tranquil, scholarly atmosphere.
Just as the two of them were passing by a garden at the corner of the academy, a middle-aged man approached them head-on.
At first, Zhang Wen hadn’t noticed this person. People dressed in the uniform of an academy teacher were something he saw countless times every day. If it weren’t for the scars on the man’s face, he wouldn’t have caught Zhang Wen’s attention at all.
The two scars stretching from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his mouth, located on both cheeks, leave an unforgettable impression!
The supreme expert Gao Long!
“Nicknamed the ‘Killing Machine,’ Gao Long ranks even higher on the galaxy’s most dangerous list than the Terror Queen Leika,” Liliya’s words still echoed in Zhang Wen’s ears as his body suddenly tensed.
At this moment, he was only ten steps away from Zhang Wen, the perfect distance to make his move!
Was it a coincidence that this killing machine appeared at the academy?
Never!
It was he who rescued the Black Viscount!
An unprecedented sense of crisis is sounding a powerful alarm.
