Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Lin Zhong-qing leapt up with an ugly expression on his face, saying dejectedly, "I lost." But very quickly, he raised his head and widened his eyes, saying defiantly, "But next time, I won't lose to you again." The fighting spirit in his eyes was still there, not at all disheartened by this defeat.
Ling Lan looked at him thoughtfully, and then said slowly, "I'll wait." This kid was no simple character — his performance had probably attracted the attention of the homeroom teacher.
Sure enough, Cheng Yuanhang started applauding from below the stage, his face full of praise. Smiling, he said, "Not bad, Ling Lan. As expected of one of the higher ranked students in our class." He turned to look at Lin Zhong-qing, his face full of admiration for his talent — he knew who Cheng Yuanhang truly admired. "Lin Zhong-qing, you performed very well. Failure is the mother of success. Persevere, you will succeed one day."
Ling Lan was speechless at these words. Teacher Cheng, oh Teacher Cheng, when you say this, can you not say it in front of me? Isn't this cursing me to lose to Lin Zhong-qing one day? Ling Lan was really full of resentment right now.
Faced with Cheng Yuanhang's praise, Lin Zhong-qing suppressed his excitement and said, "I understand, teacher. I will work hard."
Great! He had successfully left a good impression on the homeroom teacher! Lin Zhong-qing cheered himself on internally. He turned to look at Ling Lan, who was standing opposite him with her hands clasped behind her back, and hesitated.
He inadvertently swept his gaze below the stage, and saw Li Yingjie's undisguised anger at Ling Lan's outburst. His heart instantly steeled.
Every man for himself and the devil takes the hindmost!
At this time, Little Four had already sensed Lin Zhong-qing's intentions. In the mindspace, he stomped his feet angrily, wanting Ling Lan to teach that despicable brat a lesson. It would be best if she beat him up so badly that even his mother couldn't recognise him. Damn it, he actually dared to set his sights on his Boss. How could it be so easy to set his sights on his Boss?
At this moment, Ling Lan was flipping through the files on Lin Zhong-qing that Little Four had sent to her. She knew that Lin Zhong-qing was a commoner child. Tracing back to his N generations of ancestors, they were all extremely ordinary commoners. For Lin Zhong-qing to be able to reach S- level physical strength and level one mental strength, it was definitely a genetic mutation. This child was quite pitiful. In order to gain more benefits, his parents gave him to the military to become their research material.
However, after six years of research, Lin Zhong-qing could only be considered to have been lucky. There was no research value in triggering a genetic mutation. As for materials that had no research value, the military did not mind where he went. And so, Lin Zhong-qing became a member of the Central Scout Academy this year.
For such a person who had nothing (no connections, no money, no power), what could have provoked him to challenge him? Mind you, as long as Lin Zhong-qing kept a low profile and did not attract attention, he would be able to smoothly complete the ten years of the Central Scout Academy's curriculum. After that, he would be free to choose the future he wanted.
But he just had to be so high-profile. Indeed, he had attracted the attention of the head teacher, but it was obvious that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. Moreover, Lin Zhong-qing did not look like an impulsive person.
At this thought, Ling Lan said, "Little Four, keep watching. I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple."
Little Four patted his little chest and said, "Boss, don't worry. I will monitor Lin Zhong-qing from all angles. I will definitely dig out his secrets." Little Four eagerly went to write his surveillance plan, looking like he would not rest until he had thoroughly studied Lin Zhong-qing. At this moment, Ling Lan observed a moment of silence for Lin Zhong-qing. Now that he had been targeted by Little Four, it basically meant that this person no longer had any secrets.
Just like that, Ling Lan and Lin Zhong-qing's duel ended. However, the aftermath of this incident was not over yet. Among the special class students in the upper grades, they found out that there was a very powerful child in the first grade Special Class-A. His fellow top 50 Class-A students had actually been unable to withstand a single blow from him.
Everyone was looking forward to the ranking battle in half a year's time. Mind you, the top student of Class-A every year had the right to challenge those of a higher grade. Who knew how far this first grade Class-A child could go? (They had never considered the possibility that the top student would not be Ling Lan). At this thought, the first grade students were all excited, and the upper grade students were also eager to give it a try, preparing to teach this arrogant brat a good lesson. (Rumours spread and spread, and in the end, they were all twisted. In the eyes of the masses, Ling Lan had become a strong but extremely arrogant brat.)
In the fourth grade Special Class-A, a cheerful youth said to his companion beside him with a grin, "Shiyu, with such a powerful brat in the first grade, your cousin's position at the top is in danger."
"This brat Yingjie, if he doesn't suffer a little, he'll really think he's number one in the world." Li Shiyu's face was full of disdain, as if he was very disdainful of his own cousin.
"Your Li family is really something. Since your eldest cousin brother doesn't have any talent, why did you let him become the first in line? It's causing a bunch of brothers in your family to turn against each other. How troublesome." The cheerful youth was glad that he had been born into the Yun family. Although there were some messy things going on in his life, compared to the Li family, those things were really nothing. It could be said that his family was clean.
"Yun Xiu, are you looking down on my cousin?" Li Shiyu looked at him with a strange expression.
Yun Xiu rolled his eyes at him. "Isn't that so? He's a few months older than you, but he couldn't even get into the Central Scout Academy. I heard that your old man sent him to the birthplace of the Li family, planet Azure, to study at the Scout Academy? Looks like your old man doesn't think much of this first in line of your family either. "
Planet Azure was a third-rate planet, a planet with relatively less resources. It couldn't compare at all with the special-class capital planet of Doha. Normally, children with even a little bit of talent wouldn't be sent there.
"Who knows..." Li Shiyu's expression was a little blank. He didn't have many chances to see his cousin brother. Ever since his cousin brother was born, he had been brought up personally by his grandfather. Since they were young, the number of times they had met could be counted on one hand. But even so, he had a very deep impression of this cousin brother of his. This impression wasn't because of his status as the heir, but because of the feeling his cousin brother gave him.
His cousin brother had a warm aura about him that made people want to get close to him, inexplicably drawing people close to him. Even if everyone in the Li family said that his cousin brother wasn't fit to be the first in line of succession, he had never seen a trace of resentment or dissatisfaction on his cousin brother's face. That warm smile that never changed made people feel happy involuntarily.
Although he was also a strong contender for the position of heir, every time he saw his cousin brother, his desire for the position would weaken a little. Sometimes, he even thought that it wasn't a bad idea to let his cousin brother be the head of the family. He was very willing to cut through all obstacles for his cousin brother, and get rid of all the Li family members who disobeyed him...
Li Shiyu shook his head, trying to cast this thought aside. His parents would never allow him to do that. He couldn't help but sigh softly. "My cousin brother is very hard to understand... it's really hard to see him as an enemy."
Ever since his cousin brother went to planet Azure, Li Yingjie hadn't returned for four years. He probably didn't have much of an impression of his cousin brother, which was why he cared so much about the position of heir. If he really met his cousin brother, he would probably gradually lose his desire for power.
"Anyway, your grandfather is still healthy. It'll be many years before he really wants to snatch that position. It's too early to think about this now. But, I'm very curious. If that arrogant cousin of yours really had his position taken away from him, what kind of expression would he have? " Yun Xiu smiled evilly. He loved to see the expressions of children who thought they were geniuses being trampled on.
"Ha, your bad taste hasn't changed. In half a year, you'll know." Li Shiyu teased, his expression relaxed. Li Yingjie wasn't that cousin brother of his that he didn't want to be enemies with. He was very happy to see him make a fool of himself. Alright, the Li family had always lacked the so-called brotherhood. It was just that in this generation, there was a weirdo like his cousin brother.
"That's enough. Don't talk about me. Aren't you worse than me? That's your cousin brother you know. " Yun Xiu knocked on Li Shiyu's shoulder exasperatedly. Li Shiyu's interest in seeing Li Yingjie make a fool of himself was no less than his. As expected of a member of the Li family.
Li Shiyu smiled at Yun Xiu. You didn't need too many friends. Sometimes, you just needed a confidant who understood you.
Ling Lan's academic career officially began. It should be said that Ling Lan was doing very well. Although on the first day, Teacher Cheng Yuanhang had taken her down a notch, because of her outstanding performance, Cheng Yuanhang had changed his opinion of her and was no longer targeting her. This was one of the benefits she had gained from her duel with Lin Zhong-qing...
Another benefit was that she was very popular with the Class-A students. The Class-A students were all boys (Ling Lan's current identity was a boy, so she could ignore this abnormal person). They followed the ideology of the strong being respected. Ling Lan had used only one move to defeat the last place Lin Zhong-qing of Class-A. This had won the admiration of these children, and they were all willing to befriend her. This was because they all admitted that they wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Zhong-qing like Ling Lan had done.
Of course, there were also those who didn't like Ling Lan. The small group led by Li Yingjie was subtly rejecting her, and was even somewhat at odds with her.
Towards this, Ling Lan was very indifferent. She had never imagined that she was a female lead who was loved by all, a female lead who could shock the heavens and make the earth weep (Ling Lan had always thought that this kind of woman was definitely not human), so it was very normal for there to be opponents who didn't like her. Besides, she didn't like this brat Li Yingjie at all. That arrogant look of his was like that of a narcissistic peacock, not cute at all.
Alright, although Ling Lan wasn't a pure fan of looks, she was definitely a fan of cuteness. She only liked cute and pretty children...
However, the duel had not only brought benefits to Ling Lan, it had also brought about a huge problem.
That was this uninvited Lin Zhong-qing before her. Although Ling Lan had rejected his offer of personal service for a month after he lost the duel, Lin Zhong-qing had not accepted it. He still persisted in doing this matter seriously. According to Lin Zhong-qing's words, if you agree to a bet, you must accept defeat. Only then could you be considered a true man.
