1555 The Seven Stellar Academiesâ Invigilators! (1)
There was a ten-day break after the top eighteen were decided.
Wang Teng thought he could spend some time tallying his spoils, never expecting that someone would find him so soon.
âColonel Wang Teng, the generals are looking for you.â
It was Major Maxwell, the one who greeted him in the beginning. He saluted the hero with respect.
âThe generals are looking for me?â Wang Teng frowned and said in a puzzled tone, âThe competition is still in progress. I donât think itâs proper for me to just leave like this, right?â
âDonât worry, the generals have already gotten permission from the Seven Stellar Academiesâ invigilators. Furthermore, theyâre here as well.â The official smiled.
âThe Seven Stellar Academies invigilators are here!â exclaimed the Second Prince and the others, before the young hero could reply.
The latter was a little surprised as well. None of the invigilators had made an appearance thus far. Only one of their voices was heard when the Great Lightning Monster showed up. The young hero never thought they would meet in the flesh.
However, he quickly guessed it was about the mixed blood fellowâs situation.
Looks like the Seven Stellar Academies are also concerned about this matter.
âWhatâ¦â Ji Haochen couldnât help but say, âCan we go?â
âThis!â Maxwell was a bit flustered. He said with some hesitation, âThe generals only requested Colonel Wang Tengâs presence, soâ¦â
âAh~â Ji Haochen dropped his head and stared at the earthling with jealousy, âWhy doesnât anything good ever happen to me?â
âThatâs right. Nothing this good has ever happened to us,â Timothy said enviously.
âI donât think so. This isnât anything good.â Wang Teng was at a loss.
Ji Haochen exclaimed, âNot a good thing? They are the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies. To actually be able to meet them before the competition ends. This means that youâve already drawn their attention; you can even get up close and personal with them and leave a good impression. When the time comes, youâll be able to go to whichever academy you wish.â
âDonât say thatâ¦â Wang Teng patted the latterâs shoulder. âEven if I donât meet them, I can still choose any academy. Some people arenât the same.â
Ji Haochen clutched his chest and took a step back. âGet lost!â
âHahaha.â Wang Teng burst out laughing when he saw his reaction.
âAll right, all right. Go quickly; donât let the invigilators wait for too long,â said the Second Prince, waving a hand with a disgusted look.
âLetâs go! Letâs go!â Wang Teng called for Major Maxwell and they left together.
Once the top eighteen were decided, Leng Qianxue, Gaunt and the others were already with all the finalists, so they heard the exchange.
A strange glow appeared in Leng Qianxueâs eyes as she looked at the young heroâs retreating back.
She felt that he was awfully peculiar.
A trace of jealousy appeared in Gaunt, Jiang Weisheng and Stracheyâs eyes. They wanted to take his place. Alas, they couldnât.
â¦
Wang Teng followed Maxwell and entered the militaryâs spacecraft. He then met with the three eternal stage generals and a few powerful figures next to them.
Their eyes had been on him ever since he entered.
The scrutiny caused the young heroâs heart to skip a beat.
Those strangers were very likely the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies. From appearance alone they seemed to be extremely powerful; even Wang Tengâs Real Eye was unable to ascertain their cultivation. Some sort of hazy fog was enveloping their bodies.
As far as he knew, they were probably eternal stage warriors!
âHuh?â
Seven was the number of the powerhouses representing the academies. Wang Teng couldnât help but gasp softly upon noticing that there was an eighth expert.
âGrand Duke Chongshan!â
It was a middle aged man with thick black hair and a magnificent figure. His body radiated a noble aura; however, there was no condescension coming from him. Even so, his sole presence would compel people to lower their heads and avoid making eye contact with him.
If our hero didnât have a strong will, he probably would have prostrated himself on the ground as a display of submission.
The man was none other than Grand Duke Chongshan, the one he met previously!
General Fu Xinglan said, âWang Teng, come over and meet Grand Duke Chongshan and the invigilators from the Seven Stellar Academies.â
Wang Teng nodded and greeted them with a formal salute, âGreetings Grand Duke, and honored invigilators!â
âWang Teng, youâve done well in this competition.â The Grand Duke smiled.

âYou flatter me,â the young one said modestly.
âYour performance has indeed been stunning. Iâve served as an invigilator for several League Of Talentsâ editions, but this is the first time I have seen an outstanding performance such as yours.â A white-haired, middle aged man smiled warmly. âLet me introduce myself. Iâm Sikong the Second, invigilator from the Seventh Stellar Academies!â
Sikong the Second? Wang Teng was confused. What kind of name is this?
The expert seemed to know what the youth was thinking and smiled. âMy name is a bit special. You can just call me Instructor Sikong in the future, if fate allows it.â
The young hero rushed to comply, âInstructor Sikong.â Whether or not they would meet in the future, there was no loss in greeting him like that first.
âHahahaâ¦â The elder was taken aback by the response and laughed. âYouâre an interesting fellow.â
