Seeing Huang Tingwei’s meaningful gaze, Wang Xiao became even more shocked. However, he did not ask anything according to the other party’s instructions.
After a moment of silence, Huang Tingwei sighed and said, “I know what you’re worried about, but there’s actually no need.”
Wang Xiao’s face darkened. “What do you mean?”
“I used to have the same worries as you, but the situation is different now.”
Huang Tingwei leaned back in his chair and looked especially relaxed. “Academy Head Qin of Kaiyang Academy will also travel with us. With the two of us joining forces, even if we really encounter anything, we can guarantee that you won’t be hurt.”
“Is that so?”
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes ambiguously. “If that’s the case, why did you gather the stronger students like us?”
“Because good steel has to be used on a blade—”
At this point, Huang Tingwei suddenly paused and changed the topic. “You should have heard about the urgent battle at the front line, right?”
Wang Xiao nodded. Huang Tingwei continued, “Actually, the situation at the front line is far more tense than you know. I won’t say anything else. In short, we need to nurture a batch of qualified warriors as soon as possible.”
“Qualified… warriors?”
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered what Huang Tingwei had just said. A bold guess appeared in his mind. “You mean… this trip is actually training?
Huang Tingwei smiled and neither admitted nor denied Wang Xiao’s guess. “The ten of you have been through a lot together. Be it your horizons or experiences, you have already far exceeded other students of the same age.”
“The main function of the academy is to help and guide a newly awakened lord’s adaptability talent. However, you have already crossed this stage. In other words, the academy’s teaching content is no longer applicable to you, so…”
“I have to practice and apply what I have learned.”
Wang Xiao understood tacitly and continued the second half, but the expression on his face was as complicated as his current mood.
Although Huang Tingvvei did not say it explicitly, Wang Xiao already understood what he meant.
This student exchange was actually training for these ten people. They would use high-intensity combat training to minimize the time they needed to grow so that they could enter the Myriad World Battlefield to support the military as soon as possible.
Of course, Huang Tingwei definitely had other missions during this period of time. However, these two things did not seem to conflict.
After understanding Huang Tingwei and Chen Jinrong’s good intentions, Wang Xiao recalled the scene of them falling out in the military building and could not help but feel a little ashamed.
After nearly half a minute, Wang Xiao finally calmed down from the impact of this reversal. He thought for a moment and said, “But it’s still not right. I feel that you’re lying to me.”
Huang Tingwei’s pupils constricted slightly, but his expression did not change at all. He raised his hand as if nothing had happened. “Tell me about it.”
“First of all, it’s the wrong people.”
Wang Xiao extended a finger. “Even if our strength far exceeds our peers, in the entire Blue Planet, there are many young lords whose strength is comparable to ours. Take the Nine Heavens Academy in Kaiyang for example—”
“According to what I know, the Nine Heavens Academy has a Class o. The students inside are all powerful and have rare talents. They even have Heavenly God-level talents like the [Sea God Apostle]. In terms of strength, they are at least not inferior to me.”
Huang Tingwei nodded thoughtfully. “What you mentioned does exist, but you neglected one thing. The criteria for us to choose people is not only strength, but also temperament, potential, and the speed of growth.”
Reasonable.”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and nodded. Then, he added another finger. “Hower, the number of people is wrong. If the purpose of this trip is really as you said, this should be a huge event that would span the Blue Planet, but there are only ten of us now.”
“Well… just take it that you’re the ‘experimental class’. ”
Huang Tingwei thought for a moment and explained, “Before we confirm that this method is really effective, the military can’t promote it on a large scale. After all, this method is still a little radical.”
“Understood.”
Wang Xiao was convinced by Huang Tingwei’s explanation again, but he immediately extended a third finger. “One last question. Why does it have to be Zhou Xiruo?”
Huang Tingwei rolled his eyes and chuckled as he asked, “Why can’t it be Zhou Xiruo?”
“Because her strength is the lowest among us.”
Wang Xiao replied frankly without hiding anything, “The [Construction Lord] is powerful in the later stages, but Xiruo is only level three now. If the military urgently needs to replenish their soldiers, Gao Lixuan, the [Space Lord], is a better choice.”
“You’re right. Gao Lixuan is indeed a better choice.”
Huang Tingwei also nodded and admitted without hiding anything. However, the way he looked at Wang Xiao suddenly became strange. “But do you know why I chose Zhou Xiruo?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “Should I know?”
“Should you? It’s a must!”
Huang Tingwei’s expression turned serious, and his tone was vaguely filled with disappointment. “Anyone can tell the relationship between yo utwo. If I let the two of you separate, the result will be that the two of you will be worried about each other and won’t be in the mood to do anything.”
“In that case, it’s better to just put the two of you together. Moreover, Zhou Xiruo’s potential is very high. Even if her performance at this stage is not outstanding enough, she won’t let down the purpose of this school exchange.” “…I’ll reluctantly accept it.”
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and grinned. Although he said that he reluctantly accepted this reason, he was still a little suspicious.
Indeed, every explanation of Huang Tingwei made sense, but for some reason, after Wang Xiao heard it, he felt that he was making it up…
As if he could tell that Wang Xiao was still suspicious, Huang Tingwei thought for a moment and said, “How about this? I’ve already said a lot of things that I shouldn’t have. If you have any other questions, just ask them one at a time. It’s not good for you to travel with confusion.”
“That doesn’t sound very auspicious…”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and did not stand on ceremony with Huang Tingwei at all. “Then what’s your mission in this school exchange?”
Before Huang Tingwei could speak, Wang Xiao raised his hand and added, “Don’t say that you’re in charge of protecting our safety. You know that I won’t believe you.”
Huang Tingwei’s expression froze. Then, he spread his hands helplessly. “Then
I have nothing else to say.”
Wang Xiao frowned when he heard this. “But you just said that I can ask as I
please!”
“But I didn’t say I’d definitely answer, did I?”
Huang Tingwei smiled slyly. It was obvious that he was being shameless. “It’s not good to travel with confusion, but appropriate doubts can make you stay vigilant. This is what Commander Chen said..”
