Chapter 136 – Singing of Conquering

His palm rested gently against Laura’s fair neck .

Time seemed to instantly stop,

Even the soul bear had stopped moving .

Darwin Potter sighed softly . She still lost… they weren’t even of the same level . The difference was just too great .

Regardless of whether it were those in the OP viewing gallery or those watching the video feed, all of them were silent . Laura’s consummate technique that had shook the OP system with its might was broken so easily . This verified the most basic principle; it didn’t matter how strong a technique was if it didn’t hit the target .

After a few seconds fervent roars and cheers erupted from those within the cannon fodder division . All-Mouthy King cannot be stopped!

Sharmie sighed gently . She didn’t feel particularly happy, but instead felt a sense of pressure . The stronger his opponent the stronger he appeared . That kind of swaying movement hadn’t ever been seen before . It was like the steps of a silent ghost, a nightmare for close combat .

All of a sudden she felt like making a call on the skylink .

Wang Zhong took a deep breath . He’d finally been able to sum up that movement . Last year he’d suffered through all kinds of defeats, but in fact he had been able to use the experience to verify quite a number of matters . He had in fact used that movement before, just… the result wasn’t sufficient enough . People had still beaten him up badly . But it was a different story now . With a strong body and vigorous soul power along with more experience, his power had grown since the previous year . He’d seemingly undergone a transformation since his freshman years .

Those swaying movements weren’t anything like a ghost or specter’s movements, but was instead Clown Steps . They were the same kind of actions Simba used to tease him in the past . Erratic center of gravity and swaying with the wind . Wang Zhong couldn’t display it the same way as Simba, but he’d still extracted quite a bit of its essence to use in this set of motions .

There were two issues with Bear Rules The World . The first was the area of effect . Laura couldn’t be too close to the summoning point or it would have a negative impact on her . The second was the requirement of triangulating the opponent’s position . While the soul bear’s descent was still very fast, it still wasn’t instantaneous and required time . Triangulation was still a must .

That was just enough for Wang Zhong to mislead her .

Laura had made a mistake . She shouldn’t have placed all her apples in one basket . During a fight that kind of act which relied completely on luck and staked everything was equivalent to giving up her life .

A captain should maintain their calm at all time .

His skylink suddenly rang… unexpectedly it was Sharmie, she…

In the next second Wang Zhong dashed out to join the cheering crowd as he answered his skylink . “Hello, who is this? Ah, Sharmie, is there something you need?”

When she heard the clamoring and cheers of ‘All-Mouthy King’ sent over her skylink, Sharmie replied, “Nothing, just thinking about you . We’ll chat next time,” and then hung up the call .

Wang Zhong was dumbfounded and the members of the Flame Artillery Squadron were all stupefied .

“What are you all looking at? If you continue looking like that I’ll dig your eyes out!”

Everyone immediately pointed their eyes toward their noses, noses toward their mouths .

Different from the other places, Copperfield Academy was a sea of dejected souls . Laura had lost matches before, but that was before comprehending that consummate skill and her personal improvements . Never would they have imagined she would lose now . Furthermore, she had lost in such a peak condition .

Without a doubt, after this fight All-Mouthy King would climb to new heights .

His invincible path still continued .

Who, who could stop that mysterious man!

After defeating Laura, All-Mouthy King became completely famous . The various great academies were all trying to find their own ‘All-Mouthy King’ . After all, who could possibly reject the possibility of one being hidden within their academy?

In this short period of time there were quite a few who proclaimed themselves as being All-Mouthy King . yet, they were all hung up and beaten in the end . Where was the genuine All-Mouthy King?

The hearts of a few clans were also stirred . Regardless of whether or not All-Mouthy King were a student or where he was, so long as he was unaffiliated this became their opportunity .

One’s identity in the OP was an absolute secret . This was a decision made by the power structure of the current Freedom Federation . It was a kind of equality . Any one person or clan would find it difficult to break this .

But all of this usually revolved around secrets and benefits . All-Mouthy King was but a simple person and seemingly didn’t have any clan standing behind him . There were already some powers beginning to stir . If they wanted to get their hands on him then it was easy for them to find out who he was .

Nothing absolute existed in this world . If one had a rival then one could extinguish them beforehand . Lacking influence, he was perfect for them to try and entice with their full force . This was the way to live in this new era .

Wang Zhong felt a slight headache from all the noise coming from the outside world . He was powerless, however, and could only continue his routine and attend his classes up until the second group training sessions started .

After experiencing the first round of this selection process and going through the shock brought on by Sharmie’s visit, Scarlet and the rest obviously felt the pressure . The CHF didn’t seem as beautiful as they imagined . With their strength they were but newbies among heroes .

Grace was naturally very clear of this situation . If not, she wouldn’t have returned . Originally the second group training session should have started long ago, yet a small dispute arose when she left the city to prepare for it . This then required her to personally go and settle it . Such a problem occurred frequently in the Federation . Usually, people within the Federation wouldn’t dare touch the stuff of the Five Great Families rashly . When Grace stepped forward, however, even the other side wouldn’t dare get overly excessive .

Looking at the people gathering, a sliver of recollection appeared on Grace’s face . The Markis and Markos brothers stood behind Grace as was usual .

“The second phase is also the final phase that I’ve prepared for everyone . Your training location will be the Disorderly Burial Lake Region,” Grace said before pausing . She watched the group of people before her and, as expected, the majority of them had shocked expressions on their faces .

The Disorderly Burial Lake Region was their training locatio . In fact, a few people had already guessed this like Scarlet and Reeves . What no one thought was that this would be the last phase of their group training .

“Teacher Grace, did you just say the group training ends after this second phase?” asked Scarlet . She felt it was a bit too fast . Although the group training had been tough, they could still feel the increase in strength as well as the growth in cohesion within the group . This kind of group training was obviously very effective .

“The captain has duties at the front line and can’t always be staying here . Masters are responsible for teaching the basics; training depends on the individual,” said Markis . To be frank he didn’t feel like this group of people were worth Grace wasting her time . At least, this went for the majority of them .

Grace waved a hand to show she didn’t plan to further explain . There was no need to give such details to these little guys and show them the tangled up, complicated situation going on at the front lines . Originally there should have been a third phase and even a cushion for training in the middle . But now they can only make do and move on .

“You guys have probably heard about the Disorderly Burial Lake Region . It is classified as a C Grade restricted region by the Federation . A naturally pit lake is located at its center and the region is separated into three layers . Other than the center there is also the middle region and outer region .

“The rules are simple . I placed a few tokens in the center region for you guys . Those who bring them back are qualified to pass this phase . ”

The faces of quite a few of the students turned slightly pale . This included Reeves . It was still fine if they were to hunt and kill mutated lifeforms within a restricted region . Although he’d guessed correctly that they going to the Disorderly Burial Lake Region, he’d assumed they were to just kill a few monsters around the edges to test their coordination and survival capabilities as a group .

But to directly head toward the center of the Disorderly Burial Lake Region? That was the most dangerous location within this entire C Grade restricted region…
