Chapter 466: 104. Tumu siege lion
The one called Beizhong Gui Ming from the Xilus Clan had already been carried away by friends, it was clear she had good connections, while Lucite still stood in place, people unapologetically stepping over him without a hint of respect.
The appearance of Dragon Titan Emperor Yalan suddenly stole all the limelight, those squabbles of the Xilus Clan?
What were they, really?
The Xilus Clan is brave, but compared to a stunning genius like Emperor Yalan, they were nothing at all.
Hobbs was very concerned, "Emperor Yalan specifically looked at you—did you provoke her?"
Li Aozi replied indifferently, "She’s just a college girl, what’s there to be afraid of?"
"Dragons, Titans, each on their own could be a terrifying disaster capable of destroying planets, their offspring mostly turn out to be defective monsters—yet Emperor Yalan perfectly balances them, not only that, but she is also quite a beauty."
Hobbs paused:
"But if we speak purely of Charm, I feel you seem a bit more outstanding—I’ll have you know my orientation is fine, and secondly, I’m only speaking from an aesthetic perspective—the girl’s beauty is too sharp, too striking, making someone as feeble as I feel uncomfortable, but you are different, you are like the Sun, both dazzling and warm, and you don’t make people uncomfortable... I really have no issue with my orientation!"
"I never doubted that you did."
Li Aozi never cared about this matter.
Though Dragon Titans are rare, he had slain some in his past life, and the constant bragging was beginning to annoy Li Aozi a bit.
Who knows, maybe she had been his victim in a past life, turned into a ’Guerrilla Star’.
Lower-tier members of the Dragon Race are quite suitable for making Guerrilla Stars, when version 14.0 first launched, Li Aozi used to consume 4,000 Guerrilla Stars every day, and the Dragon Race being reared in automated planets were counted by the tens of thousands.
From level 180, the occupation of Meteor Fall Master is not one to be trifled with.
What Species Bloodline, in the presence of the pure Power of the Stars, all are just proteins that would disintegrate under high heat and radiation.
His attention was on Lucite, lying nearby, his body battered and bruised.
"Hm? Could it be you are thinking—ah, I understand. Indeed, he is quite pitiful."
Hobbs noticed Li Aozi’s gaze and immediately understood.
Li Aozi walked up to Lucite who was struggling within the railings, the latter laboriously turned his head, relying solely on his sturdy body and Armored Suit that the punch hadn’t taken his life.
"...Ah, I didn’t expect this to happen."
Lucite closed his eyes, sighing deeply.
"Can you get up on your own?" Li Aozi asked.
"I can’t... it seems my spine was crushed, I need some time to heal," Lucite slowly looked towards Li Aozi, "Thank you for your concern, amongst all these onlookers, you are the first to care about me."
"That Dragon Titan, she was too harsh," Hobbs clicked his tongue, squatting down: "Do you need a hand? Even for an Armored Breed, that’s a serious injury, isn’t it?"
"No need, thank you, I appreciate your kindness. My recovery ability is strong, I’ll be up in a moment."
Lucite’s tone was somewhat moved, but Li Aozi could tell he was trying hard to keep his demeanor calm and indifferent.
"In some ways, this also helped you out of a difficult situation, handling it this brutally... but it at least put an end to this farce,"
Li Aozi said.
"But this method was too brutal." Hobbs frowned, pulling out a Magic Potion from his embrace, "This might help you."
"I’m used to taking a beating."
Lucite struggled to take the potion, but he was right, his complexion gradually improved a lot. After a while, he sat up straight, delicately touched his forehead with one hand, and said earnestly to them:
"Lucite Kaostro, I salute you. Although I am financially embarrassed... I owe you a favor, if you have any problems to solve, no matter what, I will do my best to help."
"Look at what you’re saying, we’re all classmates at the same university, let’s not talk about owing favors."
Hobbs spread his hands with his thumb pointing at Li Aozi as he introduced:
"My name is Hobbs, and this is Leoz."
"I am deeply grateful; I’ve taken note of your kindness," Lucite said with a subtle hint of heartache in his voice, "It’s hard to imagine that my own people would speak ill of me and try to drive me out of school. That it’s two strangers from a different species showing me kindness..."
"Every race has its good and bad, its idiots. There were plenty of Tanas people among the onlookers just now," Li Aozi said. "Tell us what happened, Lucite, I’m interested in your story."
"My experience?"
"Did you previously have a conflict with that woman? She’s targeting you, so there must be some reason or misunderstanding, right?"
"Nothing at all."
Lucite forced a smile:
"What if I told you that today was the first time I met Beizhong Gui Ming, and that we had never met before then? What would you think?"
"...Huh?" Hobbs was confused. "She doesn’t know you? But she knew your name."
"She got it from this."
Lucite twirled his long beard, which immediately emitted a faint sound of electric current streaking through the air:
"Our Xilus Race evolved from catfish, so we can communicate directly through electrical signals and access each other’s public information. I knew her, but she only found out about me today."
"What does that mean? Is Beizhong Gui Ming famous among your Xilus Race?" Li Aozi asked, curious.
"Yes."
Lucite said helplessly:
"Beizhong Gui Ming is the second daughter of the Beizhong Clan’s Chieftain. She was not supposed to come to this school. She used the threat of suicide to force her older brother to give up his place so she could swagger in here."
Li Aozi was not expecting that answer.
"Isn’t that impersonation?" Li Aozi asked.
"There’s no way around it. The school only recognizes the admission notice. Other information can be changed with money, not to mention that this is between family members. Any pretext can easily muddle through," Hobbs explained.
"That’s right, what student Hobbs said is correct."
Lucite continued:
"Beizhong Gui Ming secured her chance to leave the Mother Star through these dishonorable means, which caused an uproar on our planet. If you could access our network search, you’d find relevant information, but for Baizhu Star, it’s just..."
"Got it."
Li Aozi clarified the situation:
"So, you mean that Beizhong Gui Ming came here under a false identity. By coincidence, you passed the tests and ended up in the same university. Thus, she targeted you, planning to drive you away to keep her dark history from spreading."
"Exactly..."
Lucite sounded extremely dejected:
"I am really not some pervert. Besides, I didn’t even want to apply to our school... I wanted to go to Crystal Architecture University to study civil engineering."
Hobbs grimaced: "Uh, that’s hell there..."
Lucite continued: "My dream is to become an outstanding civil engineer, building underwater high-speed rails, volcanic greenhouses, strata thermal power stations, and coral reef elementary schools for all Seabed People to enjoy the conveniences brought by infrastructure."
Li Aozi was curious: "So how did you end up here then?"
"Here comes the crucial part!" Lucite gestured dismissively: "The education committee said, ’Your math scores aren’t good enough.’ So they switched my program to this school, to study Magic Application."
