Chapter 313: Winking at your man for attention

But Xiang Yu wasn’t pretending to be calm. While he was recovering, he had been studying the world of mechs and combat in this world. If he had to protect Han Xin, he would have to know everything that the original Xiang Yu didn’t know.

He smiled apologetically at the professor, his smile mesmerizing enough to make some blush. Then, he suddenly turned serious and began, "The Xan’Rax is a fearsome creature and incredibly hard to deal with. It is known for its incredible resilience and adaptive abilities."

The class, initially ready to see a funny show and post it on Star Net with the hashtag the theclownprince, fell silent, their attention now fully on Xiang Yu. He continued, "The Xan’Rax has a heavily armoured exoskeleton that can withstand most conventional weapons.

It stands at about 8 feet tall, with six powerful limbs and a maw filled with razor-sharp teeth. Its skin can change colour to blend into its surroundings, making it an effective ambush predator.

It can regenerate lost limbs and heal from injuries rapidly. It has heightened senses, enabling it to detect prey from great distances. Additionally, it can emit a corrosive acid from its glands, which can melt through most materials, so you need to be careful about that."

Xiang Yu paused, letting the information sink in before adding, "This is why the Mech Design Division is exploring more metals from the outpost planets to take care of this problem."

The professor, who had called Xiang Yu up to embarrass him, was taken aback by the effect. He had thought that this ancestor would throw another fit and stomp out of class before heading to the chancellor’s office and claim that he was targeting him and demand the he gets fired. Well, in truth he was targeting Xiang Yu. There were other students who were whispering to each other in class and there was even one who had the audacity to play games in his class but he had over looked all of them and targeted Xiang Yu as usual.

Xiang Yu continued to lecture them seriously as if he were the professor. He quite enjoyed this moment, as it reminded him of one of his happiest memories from childhood when he was in the shadow guard camp, teaching his junior brothers the parts of the human body to strike and eliminate the enemy effectively. Now, he was in front of a class of military cadets, explaining to them how to eliminate a Xan’Rax.

"To kill this beast, you need to target its vulnerable spots," Xiang Yu said, his voice steady and authoritative. "The soft tissue under its jaw and the joints of its limbs are weak points. Targeting these areas can inflict significant damage."

He pulled up his floating screen from his communicator and enlarged it, showing an array of weapons. "The books will tell you that any conventional weapon that can penetrate its armour would get the job done, but after reading the war journal by the retired marshal in the Interstellar Library, he recommends using high-energy weapons.

High-energy plasma rifles or laser weapons can penetrate its armour and cause internal damage. You can also use high-yield explosives to overcome its regenerative capabilities by causing extensive damage that the creature cannot heal from quickly. Another important tactic is to trap and immobilize it."

The professor initially thought Xiang Yu was just showing off or that he had an earpiece feeding him information. But when he saw the unmistakable passion and hunger in Xiang Yu’s eyes, he reconsidered. Xiang Yu didn’t even realize the trance he had put the entire class in. His handsome face and method of explanation made everyone eager to listen to him more.

Han Xin’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Xiang Yu, trying hard to figure out what he was playing at. He suddenly found that separating from Xiang Yu wasn’t such a good idea after all. He knew he had to watch him closely; otherwise, Xiang Yu might ruin his plans or, worse, inform Imperial Lord Xiang about the events that would unfold in the future and derail his plans.

Xiang Yu had no idea that Han Xin had decided to tail him. He continued, "Setting traps to immobilize the Xan’Rax can give you a better opportunity to target its weak points without having to deal with its formidable offence and defence at the same time.

The most important thing to ensure success is a team effort. Facing a Xan’Rax alone is extremely dangerous. A coordinated team effort with precise roles and strategies increases the chances of successfully taking it down."

Once Xiang Yu was done speaking, he turned to the professor and asked, "May I return to my seat?"

The professor, who was in awe, cleared his throat and said, "Sure." He was tempted to have Xiang Yu teach the rest of the lecture but resisted the urge. The professor added, "And Your Highness, please see me after the lecture."

Xiang Yu, who was already walking away, turned back and nodded before walking back to his seat, his steps unhurried. His body exuded an otherworldly aura that had some people unable to tear their eyes away. As he walked, he noticed Han Xin sitting at the back of the lecture hall and winked at him before sitting down.

Han Xin, "..."

Han Xin’s cold indifference melted instantly, leaving him stunned. He couldn’t fathom what Xiang Yu meant by this. He thought that Xiang Yu must be mocking him or trying to anger him on purpose. Han Xin clenched his jaw as he leaned back in his seat, his fierce gaze burrowing into Xiang Yu’s back.

Xiang Yu could feel that heated gaze on his back, but he didn’t care. In fact, this made him feel better after that little stunt Han Xin pulled earlier, talking to Peng Xiu even after he told him not to.

After class, Xiang Yu told the twins to wait for him. He went to see the professor, who was reminding everyone to implement what they had learned in the virtual battle simulator during training. Xiang Yu waited for him to finish talking before asking, "Professor, you wanted to see me?"
