Chapter 126 – The Return of the Ball Queen

Within the Prodigy Society Student Ma Dong was still lamenting over having missed the opportunity to get closer with the Ball Queen . On the other hand, Wang Zhong had just arrived at the classroom .

Wang Zhong could be considered an unconditional model of a good student . He would often waste away his time in the library and he paid close attention in class . Yet, he found that the more he learned, the more he felt that what he knew was smaller than the whole .

In class, Wang Zhong paid great attention to three components . The first item were the various combat techniques and skills . They were the basics and fundamentals of a heroic soul academy .

The second component was the history and details of techniques fused from the old and new era . He held a great yearning for the previous world . Compared to now, it seemed like heaven .

Lastly, there was information and knowledge of the dimensions . This was also an area in which the Freedom Federation paid great attention to . It was natural instinct for mankind to look forward and let the past stay in the past . The world of the higher dimension was the final goal for humans .

Mankind had no way of investigating black holes . A man-made black hole was simply the key to opening Pandora’s Box and didn’t give them any means of investigating it . Currently, knowledge and information about the dimensions came entirely from dimensional lifeforms and simple guesses .

Wang Zhong had always felt that humanity’s scientists were worthy of respect . They really dared to think up anything . Such bravery didn’t give birth to random guesses or assumptions, but a kind of innovation and air of exploration that went past one’s intelligence .

An early morning’s worth of time was enough for Wang Zhong to read and finish off a thesis paper about the many assumptions of the dimensions . It was a voluminous text of a couple thousand words . Wang Zhong read it word by word with great seriousness . Of course, such a thesis paper didn’t contain any sort of investigation, but the thought process of those writing such papers provided Wang Zhong with quite a number of ideas .

This aspect of the Federation was especially commendable . While it had inherited the resources of the old era, it had also kept the social order of the past . With this, regular humans were kept on as citizens of the cities and kept their human rights .

Normal humans didn’t only provide the Federation with a sufficient population base, but also allowed the new human population to regularly grow by a sizable number each year . Some of these regular humans were also intellectuals and turned out to become scientists and related personnel . These weren’t new humans, but ordinary humans who, through their intellect, acquired a rather good position .

The one who had written this “Hypothesis about the conspiracy behind the invasion of the dimension” thesis paper was a normal human . It had come from a member of a research institute within Stuart City . He had gathered information from the four continents and found that the dimensional cracks of the other three continents were obviously larger than the ones found in the Federation . Furthermore, according to a few indefinite statistics, these dimension cracks were gradually increasing in number . Yet, due to the lower population within the three continents-, such a thing didn’t attract much attention .

‘If intelligent life did exist within the hyperdimension, then according to life’s natural instinct to expand, we should not keep being so optimistic about their current problems . Does the dimension world have some need for our world?’

‘What exactly do they need?’

This was a very big question . Wang Zhong read it with great interest and very much approved of the author’s point of view . We, humans, cared greatly of the resources needed for survival . In the past ti had been fossil fuels . Not it was the collection of radiation energy emitted from the dimensions . What would the hyperdimension need?

Frankly speaking, Wang Zhong felt that Earth definitely possessed something they needed . What the author mentioned was the livable territories of Earth . Wang Zhong didn’t agree with this point . Mankind currently live in a fourth dimension world . The world of the other side must be of at least the sixth dimension and above, so the idea of ‘space’ would be different . It was just like how an ant would care about tree leaves and treat them as the most precious thing . Such a thing bore no importance for humans, however .

What was the essence of this?

Wang Zhong loved to ponder and brainstorm about such matters . Being immersed in his own thoughts allowed him to focus and turn calm . At the same time, it gave him the feeling of being alive .

“Do you understand all of this?” A voice rang beside his head, waking Wang Zhong from his thoughts . “What are all these formulas and runes about? Does Tianjing Academy teach all of this?”

A slender, white finger began to point at a formula about the transformation and conservation of dimension energy . The dense and numerous runes and formulas made Sharmie’s head spin slightly . Such scientific stuff couldn’t be found in Flame Academy . This era emphasized the rule of ‘whose fist was bigger’ . There was no point wasting time on this kind of stuff .

Only now did Wang Zhong realize who it was that was leaning against him… Sharmie… didn’t she already leave!?

When he took a look at his surroundings, he found that the classroom had already become full of people . Everyone was staring at him with fiery, burning gazes… gazes that brimmed with killing intent .

“Why are you here?” Wang Zhong asked helplessly .

Sharmie didn’t take any insult from his words and just asked, “Do you understand all of this?”

Wang Zhong nodded his head and replied, “A little . ”

Sharmie started to judge him once more . “You sure do maintain a low profile . Are all Tianjing people like that, or is it just you?”

She was like a curious baby right now, but all of this just caused a headache for Wang Zhong . He really didn’t want to attract attention .

“Sharmie, it really is Sharmie!”

“She looks so much better than on video! That body truly is one-of-a-kind!”

“A good body, first-class strength; a true super elite . Flame Academy’s ranking increased all because of her existence . ”

“Wang Zhong actually knows her . After entering the Prodigy Society, this fellow’s luck sure has gotten good . ”

“I also heard about how the Prodigy Society is a place of good fortune . ”

“Captain Sharmie, if you want a tour of the academy I can ask Ma Dong to find someone for you . ”

Sharmie smiled and replied, “Do you hate me?”

Wang Zhong wiped his nose . She was far too direct; he simply wasn’t used to this kind of character . “Naturally not . You will, however, draw hate toward me . I think at least half the males here want to get rid of me . ”

“Oh really . Perhaps they won’t be able to get rid of you . Since I’ve yet to experience classes of other academies, I’ll attend your class today,” Sharmie replied with renewed interest .

Once class started, however, Wang Zhong began to pay attention to it . Professor Li Yun Ke’s class focused on the habits and combat traits of mutated lifeforms . From their appearance at birth to their mature state, he gave a thorough explanation . There was an exceptionally complete system of this within the current Federation .

Most of the students in class treated this as though they were listening to a story . The Federation’s mode of combat now focused on all-rounded armies . The era of one-on-one fighting was long gone . Yet, if this information was placed inside the empires, the current situation would’ve been completely reversed .

There were naturally those who listened earnestly, and Wang Zhong was one of them . Today’s class was an introduction to spider-type mutated lifeforms . Bug-types themselves were simple existences, and the end result of dimension energy contamination was just as simple . They were either mutate or die off . The simple addition of energy allowed them to mutate into lethal killing creatures .

Even if one were to say there was still a chance to tame mutated beast, that was only if they had emotions and thoughts . Bugs were complete disasters . They lacked fear and only possessed the ability to slaughter .

Within the Pyramid Continent, ants had become its disaster . For the Freedom Federation, it was mainly spiders that took on that role . There were various kinds of mutated spiders, and Teacher Li Yun Ke’s main objective today was to talk about wolf spiders and black widows . They were the archetypical models for spiders .

Adolescence to maturity, tastes and likes . Naturally, what was most important were the special traits and movements that spiders were capable of . This date had been constantly developed through countless fights . Only the Federation could acquire such a complete analysis and calculation of such information with its vast number of sources . If this were to be sent to the past, then it would’ve been worth lives .

Sharmie was bored to death by this class . Who cared about this and that spider . It would all be done and over with just squishing them to death .

She decided to leave . Sharmie was halfway out the class before a question suddenly intruded into her mind . That Mario fellow had said All-Mouthy King’s results in the past year had been so horrible it was unbearable to watch . Only in this year did he suddenly erupt and stand in the limelight . This led to numerous disputes rising up .

Wang Zhong’s results in the past year were just as bad as All-Mouthy King’s . As a student of the commander department, he actually had to do a makeup exam . If he were in Flame City, he might’ve already been expelled .
