Chapter 1298: The Glory Belongs to Elite Academy X

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The craze of SIG entered a few days after the event ended in Aslan. Of course, it was partly because Aslan had lost. People would remember Wang Zheng and honor him in their hearts. A new journey was about to start with the new day.

The couple thought they could finally be together now that their relationship was exposed. Nonetheless, there was always a gap between reality and ideal. Their relationship had become the new hotbed for gossip, replacing SIG. It was the same in Aslan. It had compressed the space for them instead. There were eyes everywhere in the palace. There was no point thinking about going out. Disguises were useless and the flames of gossip were inextinguishable. Both Wang Zheng and Aina didn’t want to become the caged animals of the zoo.

They were still very happy spending their time together even though it was different from their imagination. One thing that was restored was their communication through Skylink. Kashawen no longer intervened. Wang Zheng and Aina chatted plenty. Wang Zheng certainly disliked Kashawen. Aina, on the other, might be “vying” with Kashawen, but there was no doubt that Aina was filled with admiration and respect for her. Wang Zheng saw this very clearly as well. The battle was always within boundaries. Kashawen had finally gave in through this battle.

Wang Zheng was leaving with his gang, heading back to Elite Academy X. He was still a student there after all. It was already an exception for him to stay for so long. He couldn’t possibly continue staying in Aslan. Aina was returning later than Wang Zheng. They wanted to return together, but it wasn’t so practical in reality.

Wang Zheng was facing problems too. It was uncomfortable to be in the spotlight wherever he went. He liked it better when he was carefree, but now he seemed to be an alien specimen on display. Most importantly, only a small fraction took note of him because of the SIG championship – most of the attention he was getting was because he was “the Princess’ man”.

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Their short rest in Aslan was met with pretty good treatment. Zhang Shan could already walk, but he couldn’t move too much yet. Everyone cherished the time they had together. They would be going separate ways when they returned back to Elite Academy X after all.

“Wang Zheng, have you decided on what to do yet?” Zhang Shan asked as the space shuttle stabilized after entering warp travel. There were no stars to watch, so some were playing cards, while the girls held their secret conversations. This SIG had many memorable moments. They had been celebrating almost every moment after they won.

“Not yet.”

“Haha, I thought you would stay in Aslan and marry into the family,” Zhang Shan teased.

“Go to hell, am I a useless gigolo!”

“Brother, please don’t say that. Do you know how many people in the world want to be a freeloader? Don’t miss the fortune in front of you!” Zhang Shan scorned.

“Zhang Shan, do you think everyone is as useless as you!?” Lie Xin shot at him. “Wang Zheng would die sooner or later if he was strapped to a place. Also, how can someone from the Solar System be taken away by a woman?”

“I support Lie Xin’s view on this. Make Aina marry into the Solar System if you can!” Achilles expressed his view in this rare instance. “Also, Raston and gang have sent congratulatory notes to you, saying that you have achieved glory for the Solar System.”

“F*ck, couldn’t they have sent me a message? I thought they forgot about me!” Wang Zheng said with a laugh.

“They are afraid of disturbing your honeymoon.” Achilles chuckled.

Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er were whispering as well. Ai Xiaolu was still very concerned about Ryan’s condition, even more so than Luo Er. This was partly because of the compulsive nature of the Aishi Financial Group. They had finally established their relationship with the President of the Milky Way Alliance, and it wasn’t easy. Anyone else would have been controlled by several empires to influence Aina through Wang Zheng. It would have been nothing good for the Aishi Financial Group.

This thought only lasted a moment in Ai Xiaolu’s mind. Wang Zheng and Aina were the strangest couple. Their love was compltely pure. There were no other factors in the love. There were many speculations on how they met. Only three to five people knew the whole story, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu were amongst them.

Ai Xiaolu knew it wasn’t easy to get the story out of the collected Ye Zisu. It was much easier to deal with Yan Xiaosu. She intoxicated him, and Yan Xiaosu babbled everything out in no time. Ai Xiaolu couldn’t help but listen with envy. It was like a fairytale. No wonder they were so determined. She would also be willing to dedicate her whole life to a person if he were to protect her with his life.

Unfortunately, that was not possible.

It wasn’t that Wang Zheng didn’t have the faintest idea in mind. He knew that he couldn’t stay in Elite Academy X. His next step was to go to Titatitan Star on Mu Sen’s invitation. That was his base. He also wanted to train at Titatitan Star. He only had a preliminary understanding of the 256 Point Blade Technique. Only a calm environment could help him become fully enlightened.

Things would have to return to their natural state after chaos.

They were met with a warm welcome as they entered the spaceport in Roland Garros. It was also the glory of Elite Academy X. The victory of Saruman Snake cemented the glory of the elites. All the other countries were criticizing Elite Academy X before they went. Now, they were proven right.

Applause, cheers, and flowers, these were essential and would accompany Saruman Snake for a while.

Wang Zheng and Achilles were of the same mentality. They enjoyed the process of the battle, the breakthrough of life and death, the pursuit of the power of the oracle, but cared nothing for these things. However, they couldn’t ignore the enthusiasm of everyone around.

The status of Elite Academy X had risen after this battle. It had strengthened the Milky Way Alliance as a result of a chain reaction. The Milky Way Alliance was a body, while the countries were individuals. They were always connected yet in conflict with each other. Their relations developed in this struggle. However, Elite Academy X had managed to win this time, so the other countries would hide their contempt for the time being.

Respect was only earned through real strength.

Butcher and the others were very calm. This was true mentoring. Wang Zheng ditched the crowd and went directly to Butcher’s laboratory right after he returned.

Teacher Butcher didn’t care about what was happening outside. He was really happy that Wang Zheng had come.

“Isn’t this our Greatest King, haha, I thought you’d only come tomorrow.” Butcher beamed.

“Old Butch, you know I’m not suited for that kind of crowd. I’m hiding here.”

“Rascal, you did alright, you scored for us!” Butcher was also moved. There was a shortage of such youngsters. Anyone else would have basked in the glory and lost themselves for a while. Butcher had the feeling that Wang Zheng would be different, but he could never be too sure. The young got conceited easily. He didn’t think that Wang Zheng would be more mature than he had thought… Perhaps it couldn’t be described as mature, but character.

“I heard you are in a relationship with the Princess. Good lad, I was wondering why you were not interested in anyone in school. So, you were hiding a huge secret all this while!” Butcher suddenly became gossipy as well.

“Old Butch, you…”

“Haha, so our Greatest King does have a face of embarrassment. Romantic, you’ve done wonderfully. A princess and a knight, what a good match!” Butcher grinned from ear to ear.

Wang Zheng touched his nose and accepted his fate. He was going to be ridiculed for a long time.

“Come, I’ll show you the latest research results.” Butcher beamed. His laboratory was now the quietest shelter in the college.

“Has that result been found?” Wang Zheng suddenly recalled the two guys that were caught a while back.

Butcher shrugged helplessly. “They were caught, but they had long sold the object. I’ve yet to locate it. I hope nothing happens.”

There were huge cheers in Elite Academy X. Compared to the Saruman Snake battle team, the performance of the other three teams were really unsatisfactory. Mars was heading back, but Olivios chose to stay. The people of Arbiter were not afraid. They would climb up from where they fell. Di Maria was the same. Lear and Luo Fei, on the hand, dropped out of school. That was strange since their performance was the best after the Saruman Snake battle team, having made it into the top four.
