    “I didn’t expect Elder Gong’s newly epted disciple to break Nie Linglong’s record! D*mn, Nie Linglong won 28 rounds, but Ye Wanwan won 37 rounds…”


    “You’reparing Ye Wanwan to Nie Linglong? Are you trying to be funny? The number of SS-rank mercenaries who participated in thepetition from Nie Linglong’s year was as many as the amount of fur on a cow’s body! Thepetitors in these two years were apletely different caliber, alright? Even if we ignore that, Ye Wanwan merely broke one of Nie Linglong’s records, and it’s an insignificant record!”


    Things like the quantity of S-rank missions, mercenary honor points, and such had brought about Nie Linglong’s nearly unrivaled and unshakable reputation at Scarlet mes Academy.


    Many higher-ups couldn’t help but nod and praise Ye Wanwan.


    Some of them walked toward Elder Gong with a grin on their face as they congratted him.


    “Haha, Elder Gong, you’ve truly epted a disciple with remarkable potential! She’s only a D-rank but managed to bulldoze through this year’s martialpetition…”


    “Elder Gong, you truly make other people really envious.”


    Elder Gong’s face didn’t reveal anything, but joy surfaced in his eyes as he said, “My awful disciple still has a long journey to travel. She merely got lucky and was able to break the record this time and achieve first ce. It’s nothing worthy of bragging or praise.”


    Elder Lei He nced at Elder Gong, his expression so dark that ink could drip from it.?<i>This old geezer is actually showing off despite being the one who won in the end.</i>


    “Heh, Linglong, how does it feel to watch your record get broken?” a higher-up genially joked while looking at the nearby Nie Linglong.


    Nie Linglong met that higher-up’s eyes and expressionlessly responded, “Oh…? I broke this kind of record?”


    “Of course! You won 28 matches in a row the first time youpeted in the martialpetition and broke the record of your sister, Worriless Nie…”


    The higher-up nodded frantically. Did Nie Linglong forget her own record breaking?


    “I see.” Nie Linglong nodded lightly and detachedly said, “I don’t take this kind of minor record to heart, so I must’ve forgotten it with the passing of time.”


    “Haha…” The higher-upughed. “That’s true. Linglong, the martialpetition from your year had a much higher caliber than this year’s… Furthermore, you did break quite a number of major records, so it’s normal for you to forget about a record like this.”


    Nie Linglong walked toward Scarlet mes’ headmaster and said, “Headmaster, I’ll excuse myself now since thepetition has concluded.”


    The headmaster nodded, giving her the go-ahead.


    “My Lord, thepetition is over and it’ste. There are still many matters requiring my Lord’s attention, so why don’t we leave soon?” Jiang Yan quietly asked the expressionless man next to him.


    “Then I’ll also excuse myself now.”


    Seeing the dust settle for thispetition and everyone’s sessive departures, Lord Asura stood up and said, “I’ll be taking my leave now, Headmaster.”


    “Help yourself, Lord Asura.” The headmaster nodded.


    Lord Asura merely walked a few steps before suddenly turning around, his bone-chilling gazending on the unmoving Ji Xiuran.


    “Emperor Ji seems to be abundant in free time. Thepetition has already ended, so why is Emperor Ji still staying?” Lord Asura aloofly asked the other man.


    Ji Xiuran smiled faintly. “May I ask what it has to do with Lord Asura whether I have an abundance of free time and whether or not I’m staying or leaving?”
