Chapter 590: 590
Xia Tianyu, Fei Zhe, and Xu Yan stuck closely to Nie Yan . Even though everyone treated each other equally as friends, his words started holding more sway and authority in the group .
After the fight, everyone went back to class . The school dispatched people to investigate before leaving . Nie Yan didn’t get into any trouble while Zheng Xu was definitely going to receive disciplinary action .
Though one person was missing in class, no one felt anything was off . Everything went on as usual . The only difference was that people would now think twice before provoking Nie Yan .
. . .
Xiao Yu sat in a conference room in the Top Military Academy . He received a video from one of his contacts in the command faculty .
Heavenly Kings was only composed of 26 members, but they had countless contacts on the outside . Their influence reached every corner of the Top Military Academy . Nothing could go on here without them knowing .
After watching the video on his smartphone, Xiao Yu broke out in a cold sweat . Nie Yan was much stronger than he imagined . Last time, he simply showed he had a solid foundation with his high physical specs . That didn’t necessarily mean he was a strong fighter though . Fighting skills were something that could only be honed through combat experience . First and second years generally focused on improving their physique . Only after becoming third or fourth years would they start honing their fighting skills . After a year of intense training, everyone would start to see results . People with high specs like Nie Yan, for instance, would grow several times stronger .
Xiao Yu initially believed Nie Yan’s fighting skills couldn’t be that great since he was only a first year . However, after watching the video, this notion fell like a brick through thin ice . Nie Yan showcased the skill of a seasoned fighter . His attacks were ruthless and decisive . It resembled the style taught in the military . Xiao Yu estimated Lei Su would have less than a 30% chance of winning against Nie Yan if the two fought .
A freak like Nie Yan was simply too rare . If he possessed that kind of strength as a first year, how much stronger would he become in the future?
“Lei Su will definitely be interested in this video . ” Xiao Yu faintly smiled . He relished the idea of someone giving Lei Su a taste of his own medicine .
At this moment, the door to the conference room swung open . Lei Su walked in while cracking his knuckles . He was looking at Xiao Yu like a trapped rat .
“Xiao Yu, you know what I’m here for, right?” Lei Su coldly snorted .
“Lei Su, talk about the devil! I have something for you to watch . You’ll definitely be interested . ” Xiao Yu chuckled awkwardly .
“Stop trying to weasel your way out of this . I don’t care what you want to show me . Hand over those recordings, or else… hehe, you know the consequences . ”
“Sure, sure, no problem . I’ll hand over all the recordings to you later . First, watch this . ” Xiao Yu tossed over the smartphone to Lei Su .
Lei Su reached out and caught the smartphone . He was actually curious about what Xiao Yu wanted to show him so badly . As the video started playing, he couldn’t shift his eyes away . “Oh man! Did you research his background? Is he an assassin, a mercenary maybe?”
“Yeah, I’ve already researched his past . The data says he doesn’t have that kind of experience . His dad is a veteran and probably passed on a few things to him . However, his old man didn’t even pass the bare minimum requirements for entering the Top Military Academy . Oh, one other thing . He has several dangerous individuals around him . You ever heard of Bayonet?”
“Bayonet!?” Lei Su was shocked . Bayonet was one of the most famous figures in the mercenary world . Lei Su greatly admired these people who lived on a knife’s edge .
“Bayonet is his bodyguard . That brat Nie Yan is really amazing . He even managed to recruit someone like that,” Xiao Yu said . After researching deeper into Nie Yan’s background, his curiosity only grew . Just what kind of person was Nie Yan?
After finishing the video, Lei Su let out a deep sigh .
“So, how confident are you in beating him?” Xiao Yu asked .
“Less than 30%,” Lei Su replied . If they truly fought, it might even be lower .
“That’s in line with my estimates too . ”
“That guy is too much of a freak . His attacks are so fierce . I’m pretty sure he was still holding back . If he really went all out, Zheng Xu would’ve been dead on the ground in 10 seconds . He isn’t trained in fighting, he’s trained in killing . The fighting techniques we learn are more flashy and meant for sport,” Lei Su observed . Many killing techniques could only be learned in the army, mercenary, or assassin organizations .
“Let’s send this video to General Yuntian . I’m sure the elders will make a quick decision on who to pick between Nie Yan and Qin Han . ”
“When are we going to have him officially join Heavenly Kings?” Lei Su asked .
“We’ll have to wait for word from the elders . The conflict between Nie Yan and Qin Han will have to end sooner or later anyway,” Xiao Yu said . As long as nothing unexpected came up, Nie Yan would be chosen .
Fate was a cruel mistress . Qin Han was still racking his brain trying to figure out a way to join Heavenly Kings . Meanwhile, Heavenly Kings had already decided on Nie Yan . Qin Han was destined to become a stepping stone .
. . .
Nie Yan and Xie Yao ate lunch together in the cafeteria . There was only one more class in the afternoon, an introduction to fighting . At three o’clock, the school day finally ended .
