Chapter 666 - After The Match



Chapter 666: ?After The Match

There was a brief silence. Most of the people at the scene still did not know what had happened. The match had ended just like that. That match could be divided into three parts. Dawn Academy had the absolute advantage in the early stage. After that, the Turkish academy showed shocking abilities, including their mysterious mastery of the art of necromancy. The strange performance of the Turkish leader, Said, was a point of contention.

The final result was unexpected. Dawn Academy might have won, but even Cheng Ming, who was a participant, did not know how they won. No, even Xiao Lin himself was probably in a state of confusion.

Xiao Lin was quite puzzled. He had practiced Starburst before, but it never had such shocking power. Said did not even have any chance to retaliate, and had been killed off in a flash.

With those questions in mind, Xiao Lin asked Cheng Ming some questions, but Cheng Ming shot back at Xiao Lin with some of his own.

“Xiao Lin, what kind of swordsmanship was that? I never felt any large surges of energy, but you managed to explode with such power in the blink of an eye!” Cheng Ming was not surprised that Xiao Lin had that kind of power, but he found that the sword aura that Xiao Lin used at the last moment felt very strange.

Cheng Ming was someone who had studied swordsmanship for a long time, so he was confident that he already understood most of the basics of swordsmanship. All sword auras, no matter the difference in technique, all had similar characteristics. On Planet Norma, they were all just different ways of transforming energy. However, Xiao Lin’s final attack was different. Cheng Ming did not feel any fluctuation of energy at all. It was just like a dead lake. Plainly speaking, there was no indication that a sword technique had been used.

Xiao Lin had even more questions on his mind. It seemed like Starburst was not an ordinary elemental swordsmanship style. However, it was not the time to think about that. As Dawn Academy was announced as the final victors, the tournament committee’s people sternly walked over to the Turkish academy. They looked for the leader, Said, and brought him away after some hushed words.

The others might have been curious, but they did not have any right to follow. Xiao Lin tried to, but was quickly stopped by the president’s gaze.

No matter what, Dawn Academy had won the second round. A little later, they heard of the results of the other match. Judge Academy had unsurprisingly completely defeated the Japanese academy. Currently, Dawn Academy had two wins and was in first place. Judge Academy and the Turkish academy both had a win and a loss, which gave them joint second place while the Japanese academy sat at the bottom with two losses.

“It’s quite a good start. wWe’ve already seized the initiative of making it out of the group stages. However, we can’t be careless. After all, the group stages are just the start of our goals.” After Yu Mei gave some words of encouragement, everyone dispersed. Even Yu Mei, who was usually very harsh, had a lot more confidence in talking to the Dawn Academy students after the two matches.

The third match would see them going to the Japanese academy. Due to some historical reasons, many of them did not need any encouragement to throw themselves into intense training.

Xiao Lin had privately looked for Yu Mei, asking her about Starburst, but he did not get any answers. However, Yu Mei found an even better person to answer him.

So, after two days, Xiao Lin appeared at Song Junlang’s logistics department. Due to him having been busy training for the tournament, Xiao Lin had not been there for quite some time. Of course, there were also some personal reasons for that, and Xiao Lin was not too willing to visit without a good reason. No one knew what strange and rare creatures would be there.

Everything seemed normal on that day, and Song Junlang made for a rare sight, lying down on the sofa and reading a newspaper with a serious and quiet look on his face. He was not continuing with his experiments.

Xiao Lin felt like he had seen a ghost when he was greeted with such a strange scene. After pausing for a moment and making sure there was nothing dangerous in the room, he walked in and poured himself some water before sitting down. Even after a moment, Song Junlang ignored him, continuing to focus on the paper. Xiao Lin could not help but joke, “Department Head Song, there’s something wrong with you today. You’re actually reading the paper at this time. I almost couldn’t recognize you.”

Song Junlang speechlessly looked up before turning his gaze back to the paper, saying. “You’re going to leave for Japan in two days. Did you come visit me because you’re too excited to sleep?”

“What? Why would I be excited?” Xiao Lin did not know how to react.

“The Japanese academy is very enthusiastic. If you go over, they will probably invite you to play around in Tokyo for a day. Oh, I heard that they provide all sorts of services.” Song Junlang emphasized the word ‘services’.

Fine, Xiao Lin finally understood what he meant, but Xiao Lin chose to ignore it. After being silent for a few minutes, he chose to approach the topic directly, “I heard that Said was interrogated for half a day and sent back?”

“That’s right, or did you want him to continue vacationing here?” Song Junlang’s tone was still apathetic.

“Don’t you understand? Said’s necromancy in the match was definitely not normal!” Xiao Lin seemed a little anxious.

“You’re the one who doesn’t understand!” Song Junlang sighed, finally putting down the paper as he said, “Many academies are researching necromancy, and even place their priorities on it. You should be able to guess the reason. The resurrection towers and the Law of Resurrection. After Ivan, no one understands it. Even though we know the general reasoning lies in necromancy, it’s very simple; all the academies want to hold the law in their hands, even if it would end up in mutual suspicions and infighting!”

“Then did Said succeed? No, more precisely, the Turkish academy.” Xiao Lin remembered that Said successfully bypassed the Law of Resurrection and directly reanimated his companions. It obviously went against the law, and was something he was very concerned about. What caused him to be surprised was how casually this seemed to be treated. It shook everyone, but everyone quickly stopped pursuing the matter.

Song Junlang knew what he was thinking, and a helpless and wry smile appeared. That expression was rare on Song Junlang’s face. “You should stop bothering yourself with this matter. It involves some very deep things. All I can tell you is that the Turkish academy might be working with the Normese internally, but we have no proof. Since it involves the academies, it’s not something we can interfere with. It involves too many people, so you should stop asking about it.”
