Chapter 71: Tyrant’s Determination.

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

What Mei said was so right to the point that Xiaosu was left speechless.

No one understood Wang Zheng better than Xiaosu. Wang Zheng had this stubborn character, and it was the same when it came to his passion for mecha, as well as his friendships. He was too happy and forgot about Aina’s status.

Was it still possible?

There was still a chance. After all, he had read so many romantic fairytales since he was young. Yet somehow, Xiaosu felt that he was deceiving himself.

"See, I knew it! As his brother, you should advise Wang Zheng. Both Meng Tian and Zisu come from very good backgrounds. Even though I am not totally sure about Meng Tian, her household is not like yours or mine. Not to mention Zisu is OMG’s little princess. At this age, Wang Zheng should do something to make his dreams a reality. Although he has now proven his capabilities, he is still lacking in standing..."

What An Mei said was the truth.

"Haha, An Mei, can we keep our innocent feelings?"

"Childish!" An Mei rolled her eyes at Xiaosu.

"Well, is the reason you like me because of the fact that I am ..." Tyrant Su looked hurt. An Mei glared at Xiaosu. "So you think you are rich? Calling you a tycoon is a compliment! Hmph!"

Xiaosu broke into laughter. "I know my Meimei is the best. Don’t worry, I will definitely become a true tycoon!" An Mei pointed a delicate finger onto Xiaosu’s forehead, "Have some ambition! I want to become a rich young lady."

"Alright, a tycoon it is," Xiaosu determinedly said.

The dance followed after the banquet. The girls were already leaving the stadium to prepare themselves for the latter event, and the students from Zeus and Apollo College were going to arrive shortly after. As the host, as well as the overall champion, Ares College had to showcase its glory and hospitality.

Everyone from Ares College was in high spirits and definitely more passionate than usual. It was rumored that someone had even spontaneously thanked Luo Fei, the fatty. This ending would not have been possible without him!

Even though Lear was unable to take part in the final battle, everyone had witnessed his capabilities. He had not performed to his fullest potential, and luck was not on his side, but without doubt, his future opponent would inevitably be Wang Zheng.

The Physics Department took center stage and was in the limelight, especially Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. The two guys who were usually sidelined were suddenly the hottest topic. This was accompanied by Professor Xiao Fei’s research results, which further propelled the department into the attention of the masses.

It was very likely that the alliance would be pumping more funds into the Physics Department. Ares College would not only enjoy greater research materials but resources as well, further strengthening the college’s reputation and competency.

This was truly a call for celebration for Ares College.

Gu Te’s social standing and reputation were reinforced. With these two extraordinary results, the media was bound to be full of compliments and praises. There was a clear 180 degree shift from the previous opinions propagated by the media. What would appear on the headlines? Would it only be talk about ’perseverance’ and ’battle tactics’?

It was bound to be one of those familiar, over-used terminologies.

Gu Te was not a man easily moved by praise; it was change that made him happy. Ares College was a nest, and it was his goal to attract a golden phoenix.

A person’s strength was limited, but one was capable of change. For a student who had entered Ares college, his talent and standards were definitely unquestionable.

Zhuo Mu retained his job after Wang Zheng’s sudden breakthrough saved the battle. Although Zhuo Mu’s teaching style was not lacking, what he needed was an elite student.

Zhuo Mu felt guilty, as he did not contribute much to the achievements of the night. However, what Gu Te said remained etched on his mind. If he had not let Wang Zheng represent the school, Ares College would not have won.

This required the impeccable judgment of a capable instructor, and at times, this ability was of paramount importance.

Sounds of awe resonated around the banquet hall. The beautiful ladies had finally made their grand appearance.

At the same time, the students of Zeus College and Apollo College entered the hall. It was clear that the black suit would forever be a classic.

Despite not winning, Campbell looked regretful rather than disappointed. It was part of a warrior’s duty to withstand failure.

Lear’s entrance enchanted everyone. His sharply tailored suit brought out his handsome features and lean body. An elegant aura surrounded him, making him stand out from the crowd. Every small action reflected composure and graciousness.

He had even caught the attention of numerous female students of Ares College.

"I’ve got to say, that guy is really handsome despite his coldness."

"That’s what makes him cool!"

Quite a few ladies were already lining up for a chance to dance with him

Yue Jing appeared in a white gown. Exquisite diamond earrings hung from her earlobes, and a pink diamond globe hung on her chest. Much attention and time was also paid to her hair. She must have prepared for this moment for a long time. Ares College was her territory, and it was now her time to shine.

Yue Jing lightly linked arms with Lear and leaned her mouth towards his ear. Lear frowned. "To deal with girls is to make her jealous. Only by doing that will she see your charm."

Lear turned around and headed for another direction. It seemed like Meng Tian was still not there.

Their families were well connected with each other, and they were arranged to be wed in the future. Although Lear felt that such a fact was normal, Meng Tian clearly felt the opposite way. She had her own dreams and life plans.

Lear and Yue Jing were, without a doubt, the trophy couple, and they had all the attention.

Yue Jing looked as proud as a white swan as he swirled around the crowd. Meng Tian must have had been blind to reject such a fine young man. It was an opportunity that she would not miss.

To conquer a man was to ignite his desire for her.

Campbell had a crowd of fans surrounding him. Although he was defeated, he was still a very honorable soldier who was held in high regards. His realm of experience had not vanished into thin air.

Masasi and gang were then welcomed with applause in celebration of their victory.

Wang Zheng finally found Aina’s silhouette amidst the crowd. He suddenly thought of her identity, and for her sake, in a public event, he had to maintain a low profile.

Meng Tian and Zisu appeared together. The two beauties immediately attracted the attention of countless admirers. Meng Tian was cold and prideful like a snow lotus. Zisu, on the other hand, was likened to a gentle, slim and elegant water fairy.

They both possessed two clearly contrasting styles, their beauty mesmerizing scores of admirers.

Wang Zheng possessed a variety of skills and was diligent. Unfortunately, dancing was just not his forte. Everyone else appeared to be comfortable with social events, even Zhang Shan, who was usually as rough as a bull.

Xiaosu and An Mei were present too. An Mei looked around. "How is our hero without a dance partner? Where is Shishi?"

Wang Zheng laughed. "She does not like events like this."

"Oh, right. Nonetheless, our hero should not be left out. Sorry, I am already with Tyrant Su, so you’ve got to take care of yourself." An Mei blinked her eyes innocently.

Xiaosu immediately pointed at the two stars who had walked in previously. "Boss, Meimei is mine. We might be best buddies, but I can’t lend you my partner. Choose one of the two ladies over there!"

Wang Zheng laughed bitterly. "You are really asking for it. I’m not really interested; you guys can go ahead and enjoy yourselves."

He headed towards the balcony alone. Many of his peers were already in romantic relationships, yet Wang Zheng preferred his freedom. The college seemed very vibrant with these random social events.

Wang Zheng only wanted to gather his brothers for a drink and to count the stars in the night sky.

"This Wang Zheng is really stubborn. There’s nothing more you can ask of Shishi. She might be beautiful on the outside, but she is way too introverted. How can she not accompany her boyfriend? Wang Zheng should just break up with her..."

An Mei felt infuriated. They had Wang Zheng to thank for the celebration, as he was the one who turned the tide and led them to a miraculous victory.

As his girlfriend, how could she ditch him at such an important event?

She seemed more like a village girl than someone from Aslan.

"Meimei, don’t spout nonsense. Everyone has different preferences.. I myself am not a fan of social events either."

An Mei glared at Xiaosu. "Liar! You spent the entire afternoon preparing for this. You even prepared a new suit especially for this, even that Milky Way pin.... You didn’t even think of getting one for Wang Zheng.."

Xiaosu cried out innocently, "What? Like I said, you don’t understand Wang Zheng.... He does not care about frivolous things like that... he might even beat me if I interfere too much."

As the hero of the night, Wang Zheng should indeed have dressed up better for the occasion. How could he not cherish this moment?

As roommates, Chen Xiu and Ailun were already fishing for targets around the main hall. These four geniuses were truly from a legendary dormitory. Two of them had already created legends for themselves.

Everyone was in a great mood and were in their best form. The soft light accompanied by the elaborate decorations and celebratory atmosphere made it a night to remember for the youths.

Upon Meng Tian’s appearance, Lear immediately ditched Yue Jing. Yue Jing stood awkwardly at her position.

Zisu came to her rescue for the sake of their long friendship. Yue Jing, however, walked past Zisu and completely disregarded her presence. She hated Wang Zheng and everyone around him, even if it was her old friend.

"Lear, what’s going on between us is only because of our families’ well wishes. I believe you are not one to pay attention to tradition," Meng Tian said bluntly.

Lear broke into a faint smile. "Not that I mind, but you are one of the most genuine girls I know. Why do you not consider me as a partner? Are there any parts of me that you particularly dislike?"

historical

Meng Tian was stunned by Lear’s response. Frankly speaking, Lear was flawless. Without doubt, he was an ambitious and far-sighted young man, and he was a gentleman. He was clear about his future prospects with all his life plans laid out. He definitely had a bright future in front of him. He was bound to be a successful man.
