Chapter 79: The Conspiracy of the Four Royal Family Members

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

This combat examination for the college entrance test was one where the royal families of the Great Qin, Han, Tang, and Ming empires from the Sea of Realms all arranged for their direct descendants to participate.

After loitering around the central district of the city with Li Fengwen for seven days, Zi Liyuan had managed to meet members from all four royal families.

Hmm, each one was a bit extraordinary.

Li Fengwen of the Tang Empire had lured a Lord model panda cub and was willing to be its mount, carrying it around the city every day, but he deliberately suppressed Tuanzi’s level to prevent it from leveling up.

He claimed to have another plan, to help Tuanzi awaken its ancient Iron-Eating Beast bloodline.

Zhu Wu of the Ming Empire, a burly man with impressive physical strength, was engulfed in evil Qi. Wielding a pair of golden hammers, he swung them like a humanoid Gundam, leaving a trail of blood and gore wherever he went.

The first time Zi Liyuan saw him, he was using the hammers to beat down a Lv 4.0 hero Boss, pinning it to the ground without giving it a chance to fight back, bludgeoning it to death.

Liu Shengnan of the Han Empire, though a woman, did not pale in comparison to men. With her square halberd and a majestic white tiger with a jade snow fur, she was valiant and freely roamed among myriad creatures.

Ying Xueji of the Great Qjn Empire, beautiful as a celestial being, with her smiles and glances that could topple cities and kingdoms, commanded snowflakes that filled the sky with a wave of her hand, sealing miles in ice like a queen of the frozen world, able to control the weather.

The ones Zi Liyuan met were not limited to these four, but they were indeed the leaders.

He also learned about some of their plans, such as allowing Heretical Sect members to stir trouble because they needed the descent of the Evil God to obtain some substantial benefits.

So they only kicked out some of the small fries among the Heretical Sect members from the instance, keeping the main members untouched but under surveillance.

It was also their deliberate indulgence that allowed the Heretical Sect to almost complete their foundation in the central district. The altars required were all carved out; what was missing was a high-quality sacrifice.

And the sacrifice that they needed was well known to these royals by birth, the ruler of the creatures in the central district, the Lord Boss!

The combat examination for the college entrance test was still in its First Order phase, and the Boss had not been strengthened yet. The only Lord Boss in the central district was certainly not sufficient to be a sacrifice, so they planned to wait until the Third Order phase began to summon the descent of the Evil God.

As to whether they would mess it up and cause great losses to the examinees of this combat examination, these fellows were overly confident that there would be no issues.

Hmm, what should have been a straightforward combat examination was turned chaotic, outraging Zi Liyuan, who went to each of them, gave them a good beating, and robbed them of all their points.

Then, contently holding the special signaling jade pendant given by Li Fengwen, he rode Lao Tie in search of Shen Yurou.

The central district was so dangerous; how could he, precious as he was, be recklessly wild like those madmen and women?

Time to slip away-!

Better to lead the girl and climb the ranks than to let the Heretical Sect followers ruin everything and risk Shen Yurou not achieving good results. He wouldn’t want his reserved gold medal logistics personnel to lose the qualification to participate in the Dragon Academy assessment.

“Li Fengwen, where did you find this kind of freak? Aren’t you afraid that once the Evil God descends, he will be tempted to become a fallen one?”

“Seven days, Second Order Lv 43, with such a temperament, can a mere wisp of the Evil God’s will truly tempt him?”

“If he has indeed been bewitched into a fallen one, simply slay him. It’s still manageable on Blue Star, but if he enters the Sea of Realms, that would be a real mess.”

“Considering everyone present, could you achieve such a feat within seven days? Moreover, the opponent has advanced through two consecutive hero class-change quests. Without revealing your trump cards, you may not even be able to beat him.”

“I’m just afraid that when the Evil God descends, he’ll mess up my plans. I need the blood of the Evil God to stimulate Tuanzi’s bloodline, causing a mutation and awakening the ancient iron-eating divine beast bloodline.”

“You’re in trouble, the corpse of the Evil God is a highly coveted material for death-related professionals. I don’t believe he wouldn’t be tempted to forcefully take it.”

“Everyone has their own calculations. From the beginning of entering the martial trial instance, we agreed on how to share. Now suddenly someone new has entered. Should we join forces to keep him out, or get our own benefits with our abilities? Let’s discuss.”

“We from the Great Ming Empire have always disliked professionals related to death, and this guy is a bit too arrogant. He needs to be beaten down. I agree to join forces to suppress him, so he doesn’t mess up our plans.”

“Ever since Xu Fu led the Yin and Yang practitioners to rebel against us, we from the Great Qjn Empire have also held no fondness for death-related professionals. I agree to join forces to suppress him.”

“I remember the Necromancer has the ‘Rebirth’ skill. Considering this, he wouldn’t give up an Evil God’s cadaver. We won’t shelter him in the Great Tang Empire. I also agree to join forces to suppress him.”

“Since Sister Ying, Brother Zhu, and Brother Li have decided, Shengnan agrees as well.”

Zi Liyuan did not know that, after he had slipped away, these petty geniuses had already conspired on how to suppress him.

But even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. What difference did it make if they were royals?

If they haven’t shown their trump cards, does that mean he has none?

Having collected so many BOSS corpses, some with health points as high as 200W, the damage that a Corpse Explosion Technique could cause was not to be taken lightly!

A few more blasts and he doubted they could withstand it!

Moreover, he had other trump cards up his sleeve, like bringing Shen Yurou along.

Although she could only create bombs, sniper rifles, and handguns right now, Zi Liyuan had already prepared some items for her, like Goblin technology creations and Gnome technology creations, the “Goblin Lumberjack Armor – Type One,” and the “Gnome Stupid Mechanical Bird Mount – Type One.”

As long as he let Shen Yurou decipher the technology involved, and combined it with some of Earth’s concepts he knew of, creating an exoskeleton armor or a stupid-type robot wouldn’t be too much of an issue, right?

Even if she couldn’t make them yet, producing more bombs and causing a few big explosions should be enough. Could these royal family members, or the Evil God for that matter, really stand up to it?

As for the Evil God entity, Zi Liyuan was somewhat wary himself; death-related professionals were all too easily bewitched and corrupted by the Evil God, especially once they entered the Sea of Realms.

All he was thinking about now was whether, once he entered Dragon Academy and leveled up, he could find a wild instance to utilize special instance origin treasure chests, which might yield items that could resist the Evil God’s bewitchment or hide his aura to avoid detection by the Evil God.

But all these were issues for after he entered Dragon Academy. Right now, what he needed was to secure the top position in this college entrance exam.

Of course, the members of the four royal families weren’t interested in snatching the top scholar title; to them, it was meaningless and would only cut off some opportunities for ordinary professionals.

So, after a fight with Zi Liyuan, they voluntarily gave up their points to him.
