Ch. 2571..2580
Chapter 2571 You Have No Idea What You Have Missed
Eskild, Viggo, and the other five said, “As we persevered, Divine Brigadier, God of Massacre, and the previous head of the Garrison clan took us as their students.”
“Yes. We fought for our own future. It was your fault for not leaving with us. We were assigned to other teachers after leaving!”
The seven of them puffed up their chests proudly in anticipation of the others’ envious and complicated gazes.
They must’ve regretted not coming with us!
However, they were stunned by what happened next.
Their smiles were gone, they stared at the remaining students in disbelief.
To their surprise, Troy and the seventy-nine students were unfazed by their announcement.
Their bulging eyes relayed the message. That’s it? So what?
No way! This is impossible! Shouldn’t they be full of regrets and anguish? Shouldn’t they get envious? Why are they this calm? It was as though they had experienced the end of the world. Look at how uninterested they are!
“Didn’t you hear us clearly? The seven of us became students of the Divine Brigadier among others! You must be regretting your decision to stay!” Viggo yelled in exasperation.
At his words, Troy and the rest doubled up in laughter.
They couldn’t stop laughing.
The newcomers were stunned.
Not only Eskild and Viggo, but even the thousands of students couldn’t believe their eyes.
This doesn’t make sense at all! They should be seething with jealousy after finding out their companions are doing so much better than them, right? Their reactions are the opposite of what we expected. Look at how they are cackling maniacally. Is that disdain we see in their eyes?
Yes, Troy and his seventy-nine friends were sniggering at how Eskild and the other six were assigned to other teachers.
They clearly didn’t give a damn about it, let alone feel jealous.
It was as though they were mocking Eskild and the other six for losing an important chance, and the envious ones should be Eskild and the other six!
Everyone couldn’t comprehend the situation.
Most students had arrived to see Troy and the seventy-nine men’s disheartened expressions, so they were shocked to see how pumped up Troy and the seventy-nine men were.
Confusion overwhelmed them as they fell silent.
“Are you forcing smiles? Don’t do that. Everyone in Carigrey Academy knows about your pathetic experiences! You’re too unlucky to get assigned to this useless teacher. It has nothing to do with your ability. You still have the chance to get assigned to other teachers! Just cry all you want!” the crowd consoled.
Troy said, “We’re fine. I think Master Garrison is a great teacher. I’ve decided to be his student. I won’t go to other teachers!”
Weldon chimed in, “Yes, Master Garrison is the best! He’s the only one in Carigrey Academy who has earned my respect!”
“Me too! I only want to learn from Master Garrison!”
“I agree with Weldon!”
The eighty students expressed their opinions.
It was clear that they wanted to be Levi’s student sincerely instead of putting up an act before the outsiders.
“What?”
Everyone else was shocked beyond belief.
What happened? Why do they trust Levi so much? That’s impossible! Did Levi cast a spell on them? Otherwise, how did he gain their respect?
Kyler snickered. “Eskild, you have no idea what you missed.”
“Huh?” Eskild froze.
Is Levi capable enough of gaining their respect? Did I miss something for real?
Chapter 2572 A Bunch Of Fools
Everyone else shared his sentiment.
However, they quickly came to their senses.
No way! We just saw them practicing the useless basic technique. Either Levi had deceived them with lies, or they have resigned to their fate. They must’ve accepted fate and pretended that they don’t care!
“Just you wait. Two years later, I’ll defeat each and every one of you!”
“Yes, this technique is stronger than you can imagine. We need time to prove our skills. Give us a couple of years to show you a miracle!”
In the face of the other students, Troy and his friends couldn’t wait to reign above them.
They made bold statements with confidence instinctively.
Alas, the other students cracked up at their words.
Some covered their bellies that hurt too much from laughing, while some were already rolling on the ground.
“A couple of years? That’s too late!”
“Carigrey Academy might be gone in a couple of years. Who will you show your skills to?”
“Don’t you know how fast this era is? Things might change in a couple of months. Who knows what will happen a couple of years later?”
Eskild and the rest calmed down.
Initially, they thought Levi was capable enough of earning the students’ respect, but now it was clear that he was full of lies.
Levi was just painting a rosy picture about the future!
In this era, it was pointless to talk about the future.
After all, the future was only six months away.
It would be too much to talk about what would happen a year later, so to conclude, Levi was still a useless person.
For just a moment there, they were scared witless at the thought that Levi was someone capable, but now they were assured.
They were completely relieved.
“It’s fine. We trust Master Garrison. The future belongs to us!” Troy and the others said in unison.
One could see persistence in their expressions.
They couldn’t help but feel grateful to Levi for asking them whether they wanted to pick between now or the future.
If they hadn’t struggled internally to make a decision earlier, they’d be in a dilemma at the question hurled at them now.
Levi had forced them to make up their minds, so they had nothing to fear now.
“What a bunch of fools.”
“I can’t believe you’re resigned to become Levi’s students!”
“Ha! Just you wait. They will panic once we improve, and they remain the same.”
“Remember the competition a year later? We shall see if they regret their decisions. By then, I can defeat all eighty of them single-handedly!”
Everyone stared at those students like they were fools.
On the other hand, Zoey and the rest felt extremely guilty, for they assumed that Levi was misleading the students.
Zoey even had the urge to talk some sense into Levi so he would step down from the position.
That way, he wouldn’t delude the students.
It was a waste of talent to hand those students to Levi.
After all, Levi would only ask others to practice his basic technique.
They had been sabotaged by him for a long time, especially Azure Dragon, who was now behind everyone.
Unfortunately, after they escaped from Levi’s clutches, those students were forced to practice the basic technique and took over their places.
Zoey and the others didn’t want to see that happen.
“I feel oddly guilty,” Azure Dragon remarked.
However, Troy and the seventy-nine students remained steadfast.
The crowd grew restless and began wandering around the area.
“Hey, what is that?”
Finally, someone spotted the opening in Carigrey Mountains.
He pointed at the opening, at a loss for words.
Everyone turned in the direction he was pointing.
Chapter 2573 One Person
It was a mind-blowing sight.
Never had anyone seen such a scene in their lives.
The crowd was familiar with Carigrey Mountains, for they had seen the mountain range before they arrived at Carigrey Academy.
And yet, there was a colossal hole in the middle of the mountain range.
Did someone do this on purpose?
Comprehension dawned, and they recalled the huge commotion that happened in Carigrey Academy earlier.
That must’ve originated from here! Oh, dear! How did this happen?
“Did the chancellor and vice-chancellors cause this during their training?”
Recalling Daxon’s words, everyone gasped in surprise.
“Oh my gosh! How did they do that? I can’t imagine it!”
Everybody present was stunned by the majestic sight.
Though they know the top three fighters on the Divine Leaderboard were strong, they hadn’t seen anything from them with their own eyes.
Though they sensed Karsten’s powerful aura back then, they never really saw how powerful his attacks could be.
None of them had experienced a strong fighter’s powerful blow prior to this.
Hence, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
“I think the chancellor and vice-chancellors sent a powerful blow that caused so much damage! There’s no way a person could create this single-handedly,” Eskild guessed.
“Mm! I agree. No way a man can be this powerful!” Asura, Daxon’s student, chimed in.
“That’s right. One man can’t do this alone. Otherwise, he would’ve shown up and destroyed Karsten!”
Everyone began discussing the matter confidently.
They were certain that more than one person had caused this destruction.
“There’s no way a man had achieved this feat alone!”
That was what went through everyone’s mind.
“The three of them must be super strong to cause this blow!”
“Yes, they must be extremely powerful!”
“I’d be delighted if I were their student.”
Everyone voiced out their opinions one by one.
A voice suddenly rang out. “Ha! The hole was caused by three men? Says who?”
The crowd turned and realized it was Troy.
Bruno, Kyler, and Weldon chimed in, “Yes, says who?’
The others joined in. “Did you see three men blasting the hole? Why did you say that?”
The others were confused by their sudden question.
There was no way they’d buy someone else’s account, but Troy and the students had been here all the while.
It was highly possible that they had witnessed the entire incident with their own eyes.
Eskild and the rest blanched at the discovery.
“Oh, you can see it from here. Yes, the angle makes sense!”
“I can’t believe they witnessed it! How lucky of them!”
A wave of envy swept across the crowd.
They saw the strike-slip fault of Carigrey Mountains. If I were them, I would have no more regrets in my life!
Eskild and his gang blurted out, “Troy, hurry, tell us! Did you see it? You must’ve seen it…”
The rest looked in their direction curiously.
“Of course! We saw everything clearly!”
Troy and the seventy-nine students flashed proud grins.
They could still remember how Levi threw that powerful punch.
Their beaming and proud expressions were proof that they had witnessed the incident.
“How many men did that?” Viggo urged.
“Three, right?” Kirin blurted out.
“Of course not. It was one person!” Troy refuted.
The others gasped at his answer.
One person?
They couldn’t believe their ears.
That’s amazing! How could a person cause such huge destruction? He must be extremely strong! I can’t even imagine how!
Chapter 2574 It Is Master Garrison
“Who was it? Hurry, tell us!” Eskild grabbed Troy’s shoulder and shook the latter earnestly.
“Did you see who did it? Hurry, tell us who he is!” everyone uttered anxiously.
They wanted to know whether it was Dark Emperor or the other two who did it.
Troy and the students replied firmly, “We won’t tell you!”
The crowd fumed at their answer, but they were eager to know who the fighter was.
Eskild and the spies were especially frantic, for their mission was to find out Dark Emperor and the other two’s real identities.
They didn’t want to miss any clues.
Hence, they were more frantic than anyone else at the scene.
Alas, they didn’t realize someone else was watching them in the dark.
“Please leave now. It’s time for our training!” Troy said.
He didn’t want to invite trouble and told the rest to leave.
“Fine, we’ll leave! So what if you saw the person? You will never be his students!”
“You won’t get the chance, but we most probably will!”
The crowd sneered coldly.
Troy and the rest continued with their training calmly and ignored those students’ mocking words.
The crowd quickly lost interest in them.
“A useless teacher and a bunch of uneducated fools. They are beyond saving!”
“You’re fated to remain in a secluded place like this for the rest of your life!”
One by one, the crowd left Levi’s place.
After they were gone, Eskild and the rest came back.
“Troy, if you tell us what you saw, we can arrange for you to get assigned to any teacher you wish!”
“Yes, we know how much you hated being Levi’s student. Just tell us what you saw earlier!”
Turns out Eskild wanted to find out what Troy and the rest saw earlier and made attractive offers to persuade them to change their minds.
Alas, Troy and the seventy-nine students realized something was wrong.
Did he just make that offer just to find out what we know? Something is amiss!
They exchanged a look before answering, “All right, we shall reveal it. It was Master Garrison who did everything!”
“Yes, Master Garrison did that all alone!”
They told the truth.
“Stop joking. It couldn’t possibly be Levi!”
As expected, Eskild and his gang thought Troy and the rest were fooling around with them.
None of them believed anything of the sort would happen.
Never mind if you don’t want to reveal the truth. Saying that you did it is more convincing than saying Levi did it!
“Do you think we’re fools? You won’t spill the truth, huh? You’ll regret your decision!”
Having said that, Eskild and the rest stalked off in a huff.
As this clue was too huge to be ignored, they got flustered and did all they could to find out more.
As a result, they nearly blew their cover.
After they left, Levi showed up.
Without further delay, Troy and the other students reported their discovery to him.
“All right, I got it. Pay no heed to them!”
The next day, Levi gathered his team.
They formed lines and marched toward the entrance.
Everyone else was shocked at the sight.
“I heard Levi is taking them to The World Summit to see the carving on the stone plaque!”
“What? Seriously? He isn’t even ranked on the Divine Leaderboard. Why would he take them there?”
“Instead of teaching his students, Levi kept doing meaningless stuff!”
Troy and the rest merely scoffed. “You have no idea why we are heading there! Idiots!”
They were pleased to see how foolish the crowd was.
Before they could step out of Carigrey Academy, a figure suddenly dashed out and stood in their paths.
The person stood before them and refused to let them leave.
Chapter 2575 Kick Levi Out Of Carigrey Academy
It was Zoey.
Everyone, including Zoey, couldn’t fathom why Levi wanted to take his students to The World Summit.
She couldn’t help but step out to stop them.
“Levi, please don’t waste their time. Listen to me and step down from the position. We can improve our skills together. Stop interfering in someone else’s business!” she implored.
“Yes, Boss. Let’s not bite off more than we can chew. You’re not strong enough to be a teacher.”
“Yes, just quit. Don’t waste the students’ time! It’s a waste of talent!”
Kirin and the others chimed in.
The bystanders burst out laughing.
“Even your wife and comrades think you’re not qualified. Will you cling to that position shamelessly? Are you powerful enough?”
“Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Are you qualified to become a teacher?”
“How ridiculous. The academy’s high-rank officials are fools to waste this many talents just because he’s Crown King!”
Everyone felt indignant on behalf of Levi’s students.
They had the same thought—dismissing Levi from his position as a teacher.
“Yes! I suggest that Carigrey Academy dismiss Levi from his position as a teacher!” Eskild stepped out and declared.
“I agree!” Viggo chimed in.
“Me, too!”
“Count me in!”
Soon, more students joined in to support the idea.
Though Zoey and her gang didn’t join the masses, they shared the same thought.
They wanted Levi to step down from the position, for he wasn’t qualified!
He was merely misleading his students.
Thousands of students voiced in unison, asking the institute to dismiss Levi from his position!
“You don’t have the right to decide if Master Garrison isn’t qualified!”
“Yes, that’s right! How dare you question Carigrey Academy’s decision?”
“We know best if he’s qualified! If he isn’t qualified, then no one else in Carigrey Academy is!”
Though Levi said nothing, Troy and his students stepped out to support him.
After all, they saw with their own eyes how capable Levi was.
He’s not qualified? That’s utter nonsense!
“What?” The crowd was astonished.
Why are they defending Levi? This is strange. Did Levi cast a spell on them so they’d support him? What could it be?
“Troy, have you gone nuts? We’re doing this for your own good!”
“If Levi is kicked out of Carigrey Academy, you’ll get assigned to other teachers. If you wish, you can even get assigned to better teachers!” Eskild offered hastily.
“Yes, we’re doing this for your sake. We’re trying to help you, get it?”
“Are you willing to become Levi’s student though he is inferior to you?”
“You won’t achieve anything with him. We’re just trying to help, so please cooperate with us!”
The crowd yelled earnestly.
Troy snickered. “There is no such need! I think Master Garrison is the best teacher!”
“Mm, we agree. Master Garrison is the best!” the other students voiced their opinion.
“We’re willing to suffer along with Master Garrison! We can accept any form of torture! Master Garrison didn’t bother you, did he? Why are you forcing him to leave?”
“That’s right! Stop butting into our business. Even if Master Garrison’s a liar, we trust him! That’s none of your business!”
The eighty students stood firm.
As a result, their stance caused a public outrage.
“What a bunch of brainless morons! All right, stay with Levi and remain useless forever!”
They assumed that the eighty students, including Troy, had gone nuts.
Just then, Levi parted his lips. “Just ignore them. Let’s go!”
Chapter 2576 The Lab of Gods Is Looking For Someone
Finally, Levi led everyone to The World Summit. Despite being mocked by them, he still led them onto the Hall of Gods.
Others might feel it was disrespectful to step onto it, knowing that it was meant for unrivaled warriors of fame, but Levi gave no hoots to everything.
Everyone could not resist having a reverence for the stone plaque. If Levi’s name were not on it, they would be deemed disrespectful of it.
Nonetheless, they were stupefied at the sight of the wordings carved on the back of the stone plaque after climbing onto it.
“Other than me, the rest of them will be the mortal enemies of the whole world. By hook or by crook, you must remember their names! To be frank, I have been nurturing all of you all this while because of them! In other words, I need all of you to battle against them!” Levi uttered solemnly.
Everyone turned pale as they fastened their gazes on the names on the back of the stone plaque.
“Mark my words. As my students, only those with their names listed here are qualified to be your foes. Even all the other teachers in Carigrey Academy are not up to the standard to be your foes. Bear in mind not to bring shame to me!” Levi reminded them again.
He led all of them there partly to let them double-check if their names were carved on the back of the stone plaque too.
Apart from that, he wished to enlighten them on their mission, so they could know in advance what kind of foes they would be battling against later.
With that, they would not waste time on those in Carigrey Academy, knowing that Levi was not targeting them.
The moment Troy and the others knew about their mission, there were changes in their countenance and demeanor. It was as though they were suddenly exuding a vibe of solemnity and maturity. Or perhaps, they were even pulling themselves away from worldly matters.
Undeniably, they tended to have a sudden change in their mindset after knowing about the foes they were going to battle against in the future.
Even so, many others started reprimanding Levi for leading the students to climb onto the stone plaque impudently.
On the other hand, Lab of Gods started to gather the information that their spies managed to obtain.
They were astounded to discover that Dark Emperor and the other two were even mightier than expected. It seemed Karsten was not comparable to them. Somehow, they were doubtful about it.
“I presume Dark Emperor and the other two are reluctant to show up as they can’t take the risk because of their identities. Thus, they would rather scheme to get rid of Karsten so they will not be exposed!” Mr. X and the others started to draw speculation.
Lucifer and the others could not help but heave a sigh. “Things seem to be getting more sophisticated and worrying for us. Too bad we’re still clueless about everything!”
“As for Carigrey Academy, I’m sure as h*ll that they will train a large group of fighters to battle against us. That’s definitely another threat to us! If we can wipe them off…” As Lucifer’s voice trailed off, a glint of ferocity flickered in his eyes.
“No doubt, we have to wipe them off sooner or later. But it’s not worth the risk to do that now as we might be exposed at any time. Thus, I think we’d better focus on getting rid of Dark Emperor and the other two first. Since we hardly obtain any clue about them, we need to seek help from our friend!” Mr. X commented casually with a smile.
“Do you mean Shield from Zarain? I thought we have stopped crossing paths with them long ago, haven’t we? Did you start to get in touch with them again?” Lucifer asked curiously.
“Of course! No doubt, the new generations of Zarain and Shield seem to be more low-key, but their efficiency in obtaining information is still the most top-notch worldwide! I’ve contacted Shield long ago, requesting them to look for someone for me. Next, I can request them to trace Dark Emperor and the whereabouts of the other two. I bet we will be able to trace something…” Mr. X explained further.
Upon hearing his explanation, Lucifer and the others asked at once, “Could it be…”
Right that instant, Mr. X received a call.
After catching a glimpse of the phone screen, he told them, “It’s a call from Shield. Let me answer it first!”
After Lucifer and the others quietened down, Mr. X answered the call. “Ah! What? You’ve managed to track him down? Great! Bring him to Erudia as soon as possible!”
Chapter 2577 The Two Mysterious Entities In Erudia
“Could it be Dark Emperor’s senior disciple?” Lucifer asked warily.
“Yeah! You have the right guess! Actually, the so-called Senior Disciple is Divine Brigadier and Dark Emperor’s son! Shield has managed to find out about that. Thus, he could be the only person who knows about Dark Emperor’s identity at the moment!” Mr. X uttered placidly.
Shortly after, the special forces agent from Shield brought someone with a mask to meet them.
He turned out to be Senior Disciple of Dark Emperor.
“Who’s the current Dark Emperor?” Mr. X cut to the crap.
“I’m still investigating that. A few months ago, someone had sneaked into the headquarters of Sacred Organization and murdered my mother, the former Dark Emperor. After that, he even wiped off all the high-rank officials to take control of the whole organization! From what I know, Death Fiend, Tempestus, and the others know the exact identity of Dark Emperor. Other than Dark Emperor, they are the ones in control of Sacred Organization at the moment! Meanwhile, Tyrone Garrison and Donald Garrison are in control of Maya Industries. I have been having a hunch that Dark Emperor is from Erudia and is closely related to Eragon of The Cardinal Hall. Now that they have formed Carigrey Academy together, my guess is proven right!” the disciple explained.
Black Hawk, the special forces agent from Shield, commented admiringly, “I’m in awe of you! In fact, I bet I won’t be able to obtain certain information even if I can assign a few hundred thousand people for that! With your explanation, a lot of my doubts are cleared!”
Even so, Mr. X and the others from Lab of Gods could not help but catch their breaths. Ah! Our guess makes sense! Someone is impersonating Dark Emperor!
Not to mention, if the fake Dark Emperor was from Erudia, that would be the biggest threat for them. That was indeed the worst scenario they had expected! It was just like how they witnessed Levi finish Karsten off previously.
Black Hawk nodded and replied, “Based on the information obtained, most probably this Dark Emperor is from Erudia!”
“Oh my! We’re all finished this round! It never occurs to me that all three of them are from Erudia! Argh! The Cardinal Hall and Eragon are nothing to us since we know well about them. Even so, we have been targeting the two mysterious entities in Erudia these few years. Now that we can’t even get rid of Dark Emperor and the other two, how can we battle against them?” Mr. X’s face turned grim in an instant.
“The two mysterious entities? Is there anyone else who is mightier than The Cardinal Hall and Eragon?” Black Hawk asked in bafflement.
After all, he was deemed the leader of the intelligence department of Shield of Zarain, having first-hand worldwide information in his grasp. However, he was oblivious to the existence of the so-called two mysterious entities.
“Yeah! That’s what Shield and the others are unaware of!” one of the members from Labs of God replied.
“It’s right! There are still two mysterious entities in Erudia that have never shown up till now. If not, they’ll definitely wreak scarier havoc than The Cardinal Hall and Eragon! In other words, the disappearance of Lab of Gods is closely related to them too! To us, they are the mightiest foe among all! For you, they are just like Dark Web with various information throughout the world in hand!” Mr. X explained again.
Astounded by his words, Black Hawk caught his breath.
Meanwhile, the Senior Disciple was caught off guard. It never came to his mind that such mysterious and unrivaled entities existed in Erudia.
Anyway, it was known to everyone that Erudia had been a place of wonder in the martial arts world long ago. For instance, the Divine Extraction Technique and the Iron Golem Technique were both from that country.
“After this, I hope all of you from Shield are able to find out the identity of those three persons for us soonest possible! We must get rid of them as soon as possible!” Mr. X instructed. He and the others could barely wait any longer.
“I’ll try to investigate too. By hook or by crook, I must find out who they are. If not, I’m not able to avenge my mother. I hope you can obtain the clue soon!” The Senior Disciple cast all his hope on Lab of Gods.
Mr. X put flashed him a smile. “Oh yeah! Wait a minute. I have an idea…”
Chapter 2578 You Must Be Learning Discreetly
“What is that?” Senior Disciple asked quizzically.
“Does Divine Brigadier know about your existence?” Mr. X asked.
Senior Disciple nodded and replied, “I have a feeling that he does. But he doesn’t know who I am and hasn’t tried to find out.”
“If you still can’t trace any clue, I suggest you go and look for him! After all, he’s the head of The Cardinal Hall. I bet he knows the exact identity of Dark Emperor and the others. He might keep it mum from the others, but you are his son! Even though he won’t tell you everything, I’m sure he’ll at least give you some clues if you insist on avenging your mother,” Mr. X hinted to him.
Senior Disciple was quick-witted and got his point at once. “Ah! I get it! Just wait for my great news then!”
He could barely wait to leave and meet Daxon at once.
Next, Mr. X turned to instruct those from Shield, “As for the current head of the ancient Garrison clan, you can give it a try to get some clues from the family members.”
“Yes, Mr. X.” They nodded respectfully.
When Black Hawk was about to leave, Mr. X called out at him, “I’ve prepared some of the apparatus from Lab of Gods for you. They are all highly advanced and impossible for you to get elsewhere!”
Hearing that, Black Hawk’s eye lit up. Ah! I’m sure everything from Lab of Gods is of high quality! I wonder how well-developed they are now!
Moments later, he took the apparatus away with him blissfully.
After that, Mr. X proceeded with his other plans and instructed those spies who sneaked into Carigrey Academy to trace the clues by all means.
He presumed the most effective way for them was to emerge as excellent students with outstanding performance. With that, they might have the chance to get closer to Dark Emperor and the other two. Thus, they would more or less be able to spot anything if they could keep an eye on the trio.
“My goodness! It’s only the first day of the launching of Carigrey Academy. I wonder what kind of unrivaled fighter can stir up such turmoil! Apparently, it’s the effect due to one massive punch but the punch mark is too obvious!” Lucifer and the others were overwhelmed to see the strike-slip fault of the Carigrey Mountains in the photo.
“Mr. X, do you think there’s a possibility that…” Lucifer asked warily.
“What is that?” The latter cut him off.
“Is it possible that Dark Emperor is from one of the so-called two mysterious entities in Erudia?” Lucifer asked solemnly.
“It could be. After all, he’s too mighty! There’s a high possibility!” Mr. X shared the same sentiments with him.
In the meantime, Levi led the group back to Carigrey Academy.
All the others looked at them as if they were a group of ridiculous fools.
“Hmph! Because of them, such a top-notch academy worldwide seems to have been downgraded!” one of the students scoffed.
Whenever Levi and the others walked past, there were reverberations of derision from every corner.
Even so, Troy and the others paid no heed to them.
When they were back at the academy from the Hall of Gods, it was as though all the others were just naive punks for them. To them, it was even a waste of time to refute their mockery.
Due to the sudden twist in their mindset, their future plans had changed thoroughly. Even Carigrey Academy was put out of their mind.
Since those mocking them were not qualified to be their opponents, they did not feel like sparing them any glance. As for Levi, their oppressive words were even nothing to him.
Soon, he gathered everyone and kicked start with the training. At the same time, he started undergoing his own training too.
At the critical moment, it was as though he was competing against Lab of Gods in military technology. For him, time was gold.
In the following days, everyone started having training officially in Carigrey Academy. All the teachers started to guide their students respectively. In an instant, everyone in the academy was in high spirits.
After completing his own training session, Levi turned to guide his students. Next, he started to stroll around the academy to check on the others’ progress.
First, he joined Eustace’s team silently and observed their progress. Apart from shortlisting the talented ones among the students, he aimed at tracing spies who infiltrated the academy.
Next, he moved on to Gabriel’s team. After that, he did the same to the other teachers’ teams to observe all the students closely one by one.
Thus, his demeanor tended to look weird to the others.
“Levi, what are you doing? You are learning our skill discreetly, aren’t you?” someone piped out.
Chapter 2579 Add Insult To Injury
Eskild turned out to be the one blurting out the question. He had actually voiced up the doubt bugging most of the others’ minds.
Many others were observing Levi too, and could not resist feeling that he looked suspicious. Even Zoey and the others assumed he was trying to learn discreetly from them. Even so, they knew it was inappropriate for them to comment on anything.
After Eskild voiced his doubt, the others echoed as they inched toward Levi and surrounded him.
“You have a point. I notice he has been standing here for hours and acting weirdly!”
“Not only that, he’s doing the same for almost all the teams…”
“Good gracious! He observes every student for more than one minute. What’s that for if he’s not learning our skills discreetly?”
…
As Zoey exchanged glances with the others, something flashed across their minds. Could it be that he infiltrates the academy to be a teacher so he can learn our skills discreetly? As a teacher, it makes sense for him to check on all the teams one by one. Not to mention, it’s surely awkward for him to learn directly from the other teachers. But if he learns discreetly, nobody can say anything then.
All of them felt that Eskild had drawn the right speculation. They were convinced that Levi was learning their skills discreetly!
Snickering, Levi retorted, “Do you really think that I need to learn discreetly from you? Who do you think you are, huh? Is it worth it for me to do so?”
His words sent the students into an instant frenzy.
Daxon tried to appease them, fearing that they would further infuriate Levi! The students could not be blamed as they were oblivious to his invincible combat prowess. However, he and other teachers knew it too well. How is it possible for such an unrivaled fighter to learn from us?
Meanwhile, Levi flashed them a subtle smile and shot them a meaningful look before striding away.
“Didn’t you see that smile on his face just now? He has apparently gained something discreetly from us just now! What a shameless man!” someone yelled.
“Pfft! How can a teacher play tricks to learn discreetly? He obviously doesn’t have any sense of shame!” the student next to him sneered.
“It’s not fair for us!” another student whined.
The students got all worked up instantaneously.
Little did they realize that Levi was blissful at the sight of their emotional turbulence. Ha! That’s how spies are traceable, in a way!
Moments ago, he had had a close-up observation of at least one minute for quite a lot of them. Subsequently, he managed to spot a few talented ones among the students.
Even though his technique might not suit them, he could still train them. His gut instinct told him that they might be able to possess even mightier combat prowess than Daxon and the others if they were well-trained. He was glad that those talented students whom he shortlisted could meet his requirement as formidable fighters.
Apart from that, he managed to trace other spies among the students other than Eskild. Even without concrete evidence, he had a hunch that they were suspicious.
Deep down, Levi could not help but snort. Hmph! Anyway, they are a bit too slow! That’s why they are still in vain to trace anything on Dark Emperor.
Smiling slyly, he decided to add insult to injury to stir up trouble for them. At night, he gathered Daxon and the others aside to brief them about his plan, which would be carried out the following day.
On the other hand, the special forces agents from Shield and Senior Disciple had started to take action. At the same time, Black Hawk prepared to assign his men to sneak into Erudia and headed for the Garrison residence right away to trace any clues about the new head of the ancient Garrison clan.
Meanwhile, Senior Disciple started to trace any clues in Sacred Organization.
Even so, Lab of Gods was still in vain to obtain any clue about Carigrey Academy. Both parties seemed to be battling against each other discreetly.
The following day, Daxon gathered all the teachers and students of Carigrey Academy for a grand meeting.
He announced, “To motivate all the students, Carigrey Academy has decided to implement a new system known as the Special Reward System, and we are going to have a monthly tournament. Then, we’ll list out all the students’ personal and team rankings, respectively. The student who is ranked first will receive an ultimate divine tool. It was specially invented by Dark Emperor and is able to emanate invincible force! Meanwhile, the teams ranked in the top three will receive various types of resources such as drugs and other types of divine tools. In short, those are the resources that enable you to upgrade your combat prowess!”
The announcement resulted in an instant uproar.
It was no secret to everyone that Dark Emperor had invented an ultimate divine tool. Nevertheless, nobody had ever seen it before. Thus, they could only imagine and dream about it.
Now that they finally had the opportunity to possess the divine tool, they could not resist getting all worked up. They felt a rush of excitement and could scarcely wait to lay their hands on the legendary invention!
Chapter 2580 The Divine Tool As A Reward
“To motivate everyone, the chancellor has sent a divine tool for us to take a look and give it a try!” Daxon announced again.
His words whipped up all the students. Wow! We’ll get to see the divine tool on the spot and even give it a try to test its force?
Shortly after, someone brought in a rectangular box with modern technology.
The box opened with a thud right after Daxon keyed in the passcode. The next second, a crossbow with glimmering blue rays sprang out.
Boom!
At the same time, everyone was overwhelmed when it emanated a massive force. Even Gabriel and the others were flabbergasted and tensed up due to the intimidating force.
Eustace gritted his teeth unknowingly. Good gracious! This divine tool seems to be even mightier than my weapon! It’s no joke! Levi obviously has a lot of goodies! I bet anyone who can handle this divine tool well will at least have their combat prowess doubled!
Undeniably, the divine tool was not an ordinary item that could be handled by everyone. Even Daxon and the others were not convinced that they could do so.
Levi seemed to be the only person who could enable the divine tool to emanate its mightiest power. Anyway, they believed even the slightest bit of the released force could work magic.
There was even a compartment in the rectangular box. About twenty arrowheads made of the unique metal from Restricted Area 76 were placed neatly in it! Needless to say, the horrifying energy was beyond imagination.
They foresaw that the released arrow would result in a disastrous force. Even the Skyward Sword and the Terra Blade were not comparable to it!
When the divine tool came into view, everyone clenched their fists in exhilaration. There was even a flicker of unmissable maniac in their eyes. The great charm of the divine tool was irresistible for all of them!
“Let’s choose someone among you to give it a try! Floyd, can you come forward?” Daxon called out his name.
“Okay!” Floyd replied excitedly.
Without hesitation, he dashed forward and took out the crossbow from the rectangular box with trembling hands.
All the others gazed at him enviously.
Meanwhile, Daxon moved swiftly and stood approximately one hundred meters away from him.
“Okay, get ready and attack me with it!” he yelled out at Floyd.
“Huh?” Floyd was dumbfounded.
“Pull at your greatest strength and shoot at me!” Daxon instructed resolutely.
Floyd had no choice but to lift the crossbow as he continued to shudder. Surprisingly, it was a lot heavier than expected. Oh my! It’s really heavy! In fact, it seems to be as heavy as a small hill!
Seconds later, he took out an arrow from the compartment and placed it on the crossbow. “Sir, watch out! I’m going to shoot now!”
The next moment, he mustered up his strength to pull the crossbow.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
The crossbow was too heavy for him, and he could not even pull the string backward! Apparently, the divine tool was not an item that could be handled effortlessly. Whoever managed to do so would be undefeatable for sure!
“Argh!” Floyd thundered out as he tried to pull the crossbow again.
During this round, he used up all his energy to pull the string of the crossbow. As his power surged continuously, his strength increased gradually. Soon, it was as though his power had reached its full extent, and he would burst at any moment.
Boom!
It even shook the earth with an ear-splitting sound. Nonetheless, the string of the crossbow could only be pulled halfway backward!
Obviously, only one with mighty energy was able to handle the divine tool!
Whoosh!
Floyd applied greater force till it reached the highest point and shot the arrow.
The released arrow swooshed by like a bolt of lightning with a wave of petrifying billowing energy.
In the twinkling of an eye, it emerged in front of Daxon.
Right that instant, his face turned ashen.
He had seemingly overestimated himself. Initially, he presumed Floyd would not be able to fully handle the divine tool, and thus the unleashed force would not be a threat to him.
Unexpectedly, things turned the other way around! It was as if his life was put on the line in an instant.
“Argh!” Daxon bellowed, unleashing every bit of his power to shield himself against the arrow.
Whoosh!
He continued to stagger backward and only came to a halt a few thousand meters away before he was finally out of danger.
Thunderstruck, the others gaped at his dishevelment. It was indeed a mind-boggling scene for them!
Awestruck, Zoey, Azure Dragon, Kirin, and the others clenched their fists! They vowed to be ranked first in the monthly tournament in order to obtain the divine tool! What an invincible weapon!
Even so, Levi only smirked at them.
