Chapter 207: Surpass You at Entry
Nangong Jing gasped, and she raised her brow impatiently. âYouâre a new student after all. It is not fair for you. After school starts, Iâll give you an opportunity. You should like it.â
To this kid, this half month was indeed a huge loss for him. She quite liked this kid, and due to Uncle Merlin, she would give him an opportunity when the time was right.
Sigh... she really didnât want to go there...
Nangong Jing felt tired, but she couldnât avoid going.
Lu Zeâs eyes lit up.
What sort of opportunity did she mean? Lu Ze was curious.
Everyone else looked at Lu Ze with envy.
Although he lost the chance to earn military merit on the battlefield, Nangong Jingâs opportunity clearly would compensate for this. It would probably even overcompensate!
Nangong Jing looked at Lin Ling and the rest. âThe battlefield is no longer suitable for new students like you. You guys can also go back to HQ. There will compensation too. Your academic credit will be three times that of what you acquired.â
Everyone rejoiced.
They didnât expect this. Although there would be less military merit, the academic credit would make up for it.
The battlefield was going to be more dangerous. It was pretty good to receive such rewards without the need to take risks.
Old Derry glanced at the officers and said, âIt will be a huge battle. I hope everyone will take it seriously.â
âYes! General!â
Old Derry nodded with satisfaction after seeing the curiosity of everyone. Then, he smiled, âIâm no stubborn old fool. There would be a few days before the blade demons arrive. Tonight will be the celebration of the victory from last time. This is the last relaxation before the war.â
âTomorrow, lead your troops to prepare for the war!â
Everyone smiled. A celebration was necessary for a big victory.
It was a huge increase in morale and helped soldiers relieve some pressure.
Old Derry wasnât going to keep his soldiers constantly tense.
After the discussion, everyone left the meeting room.
Nangong Jing walked over and smiled. âI will escort you out tomorrow to base. You guys go pack up first.â
âThe war isnât finished yet. Your military merit will be awarded at the HQ. Major General Barry will deal with it.â
Then, she left with the other young dukes and military officers.
Lu Ze smiled. âSince teacher Nangong said this, letâs go back and pack up first. We can have an early holiday tomorrow.â
Everyone smiled.
Tianyuan Qianhua said, âI wonder what our reward will be?â
Everyone was keen with anticipation too. Lin Ling smiled. âWeâll know once we get to the HQ.â
Thus, everyone went back to their dorms and started packing their belongings.
...
At night, Lu Ze and the others were notified to attend the celebratory party.
It was held in a military hall. All the high levels who went to the battle arrived. Those soldiers would celebrate with their own companies.
As for the defense of the base, it would be the new arrivals who would be responsible.
When Lu Ze and the others arrived, there were quite some people present already, including their senior schoolmates and the prodigy barrack prodigies.
As soon as Lu Ze walked in, he smelled this intense aroma, making his eyes light up.
Ahh... it was the smell of delicious food!
There were long rows of tables with all sorts of food there.
Lu Ze gulped his saliva.
He wanted to eat!
There were no special rules at the celebration. Everyone could grab whatever they wanted.
Nangong Jing was happily drinking wine right now.
She was overexcited from all the beautiful wine here.
Lu Ze charged in and grabbed a plate and began stuffing all sorts of food inside his mouth.
Seeing this, Lin Lingâs mouth spasmed. However, everyone felt hungry too, so they grabbed their plates and started eating.
People would come to say hi to Lu Ze from time to time.
After all, Lu Ze was strong and talented. It was good to know him.
Lu Ze felt it was troublesome, but he had to smile back with manners.
Eventually, Lu Ze ran to Nangong Jing. No one dared to come next to her.
Who wasnât worried about the female T-Rex?
Nangong Jingâs face blushed from the wine. She said, âKid, tell me, you and Uncle Merlin are familiar with each other?â
Uncle Merlin told her to take special care of Lu Ze, this wasnât like him.
Lu Ze smiled. âWeâre alright. Iâm good friends with Alice. As for Uncle Merlin... Iâve been beaten up by him a few times.â
When he reminisced his training before, it was full of pain, especially for his butt.
Nangong Jing wasnât too satisfied with this answer, but she didnât keep asking. âYour power is still too weak. Your control of strength isnât good enough. Itâs not just strength god art, but also the other god arts. Youâre just completely letting loose. When we go back to school, I will teach you properly.â
Lu Ze: ...
Lu Ze felt cold when he heard the word âteachâ for some reason.
Then, he thought of something and looked at Nangong Jing curiously. âBy the way Teacher Nangong, what is the opportunity you were talking about?â
Nangong Jing glared at Lu Ze. âDonât ask what you shouldnât. You will know when the time is right. You wonât be losing out.â
Then, she curled her lips. âIf it wasnât due to Uncle Merlin, I wouldnât take you there.â
This made Lu Ze even more curious, but he couldnât force her to say it.
At this moment, Lin Ling walked over with a plate.
Lu Ze glanced at her plate, it was full of meat. There were no vegetables nor spirit fruit.
She smiled at Nangong Jing. âSister Jing, I want to apply for a leave.â
Lu Ze opened his eyes wide. âApply for a leave?â
What was she doing this for during an entrance test?
Nangong Jing was a little surprised too. Then, she asked, âReason?â
Then, Nangong Jing seemed to have thought of something. She gave Lin Ling a complicated look and asked, âYouâve thought it through?â
Lin Ling showed a complicated smile. âWeâll talk about that later.â
Nangong Jing nodded. âArenât you going to tell your brother?â
Lin Ling looked hesitant for a moment, but then, she shook her head. âNever mind, he will know.â
âHeh, if you tell him now, he would probably feel much better and perform much better in the war? Youâre really not going to tell him?â Nangong Jing smirked.
Lin Lingâs face stiffened, and then, she rolled her eyes. âSister Jing, youâre really mean.â
Nangong Jing smiled. âSome things arenât appropriate for me to say, but itâs good you can see through it.â
Then, she drank some more.
She rubbed Lin Lingâs head. âI approve of the leave.â
Lin Lingâs eyes lit up as she giggled. âThank you, Sister Jing.â
Lu Ze felt dazed, and he looked strangely at the two.
âLin Ling, what are you guys talking about?â
Lin Ling raised a brow and smiled. âWhen we start school, my power will definitely surpass you.â
Lu Ze: â???â
He looked at Lin Ling in disbelief. Since when was she this arrogant? Even he didnât dare to be this arrogant.
Nangong Jing grinned. âIt might really be possible. Lin Ling you need to work hard.â
Lu Ze: â???â
He felt Nangong Jingâs smile was evil. Even she felt it was possible?
This seemed to be a problem. He became worried.
