TheConqueroroftheUniverse

Chapter 22 The Return of the King

Li Ping'an lived in the Lanyuan community.

There, a few old men and women who basked in the sunshine were boasting. They watched the direction where Li Ping'an had left away just now in puzzlement.

"Mr. Cui, am I dazzled? I seem to see a person go downstairs, but why did he disappear in a flash of the eye?"

An old man was confused, touching his back of the head.

Next to him, an old woman, with a puzzled look on her face, said, "It seems that I also saw someone pass by just now. Why did he disappear in such a short time? Wang, Li, did you see it?"

"Yes, I did."

"You all are too old to see the person clearly. Where is the hell person passing by? Let's go back to our talk."

"Piss off."

The old woman, flattered by others, was unhappy. Instantly, she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Is it a ghost in our community?"

"What? A ghost?"

When the topic was mentioned, the old men and women who were idle started their interesting conversation.

Obviously, Li Ping'an didn't have time to know about what the old men and women were talking about.

As he arrived at the gate of his school, he didn't walk in but cooled down for a few minutes.

After all, it was a horrible and amazing thing.

Earlier, his best performance in speed was more than 40 m/s. However, now, he was twice as quickly as before.

Li Ping'an vaguely found that the progress he had made in strength and neural reactions was more than that of his speed.

What did this mean?

He never heard of this before.

Li Ping'an even suspected that the third strongest person in the world and Yan Changkong, the strongest one in Walt Country, could not make such horrible progress when they were in the Refining Stage.

In this situation, Li Ping'an was also worried about this good news.

"The stone was quite mysterious. I think that Kunpeng is not the owner of the space. The core secret of it may have something to do with the big stone."

After pondering many times, Li Ping'an drew a conclusion.

If Kunpeng were alive, Li Ping'an could not survive now.

However, this was a difficult and shocking thing, so Li Ping'an didn't clearly figure it out.

"Forget it. Let it go. When I defeat Liu Qingyun, this b*st*rd, I will come to Doctor Zhuang for a physical examination."

After making the next plan, Li Ping'an became calm and entered the school steadily.

...

It was the main testing ground in Lanhai No.1 High School.

Only the greatest students of Lanhai No.1 High School were qualified to test their ability on this ground.

Now, among fifty thousand students in Lanhai No.1 High School, the top twenty ones had finished their combat testing. The top five students and a few students, including Liu Qingyun, Yan Xue, and Liu Qu, had passed the examination for a seeded player. Now, they would fight with each other, which was the greatest part of the combat testing.

Students who had finished their testing in other testing fields also crowded into the main testing ground.

After all, the strongest students of Lanhai No.1 High School gathered here, which was attractive.

The news that Liu Qingyun would battle with Li Ping'an was spread over Lanhai No.1 High School and even Lanhai City.

Many rich students expected Liu Qingyun would defeat Li Ping'an, a poor guy who was so innocent that he dared challenge rules.

Li Ping'an was an idol, hope, and model of most poor students. They expected that Li Ping'an could not only bring surprise and motivation to them but also create new records, which would inspire them to be stronger.

The new record of the speed testing of Lanhai No.1 High School this year was set by Li Ping'an.

Liu Qingyun was a strong person in the Awakening Stage, but most poor students were confident about Li Ping'an, their idol.

Senior Li Ping'an, their idol, always lived up to their expectations.

In Lanhai No.1 High School, the main testing ground which held tens of thousands of people now was crowded.

It was packed with energetic young men and women, from corridors to corners.

Some students came late, so they had to stand outside the main testing ground to wait for the news.

The rich students, including Liu Qingyun, were deliberate to spread the news that Li Ping'an had not been at school for many days and even didn't reach the testing ground, when it was a few minutes earlier than the battle between Li Ping'an and Liu Qingyun.

They would succeed in defeating Li Ping'an by the simplest and the cruelest method. Also, they made these poor students know that who the real owner of Lanhai No.1 High School was.

"What?"

"Is Senior Li Ping'an afraid of the battle? So, he secretly asked for a leave, didn't he? Or why is he absent now?"

"How could it be? Senior Li Ping'an never breaks his promise. There must be something wrong with him."

"Yes!"

"Although we are poor, we are still proud of Senior Li Ping'an. So, how could he be afraid? What you have said must be rumors. You want to defame him."

"Senior Li Ping'an is always best, so you couldn't lie to us."

"..."

Some rich students swaggered to the field outside the main testing ground. They told this news to a few thousand poor students, which reduced their passion. Suddenly, they started talking about it.

Many students rebuked the rich students for spreading rumors.

"Ho."

"You blokes, how foolish you are! What you could do is to talk glibly. Now, it is almost ten minutes to ten o'clock. You needn't wait for Senior Li Ping'an, a coward."

Liu Qingyun's follower stood high, looked at students with a sneer, and then turned around to go back to the main testing ground.

It seemed that if they took another look at poor students, it would be an insult to their dignity.

"This..."

"It's impossible. Isn't it? How could Senior Li Ping'an be a coward? It's known that goddess Jiang also admires him."

As Liu Qingyun's followers left, poor students were more upset and confused.

For a long time, they had expected in this combat testing, Ping'an could create new records and encourage poor students to be stronger. However, they were discouraged by those words.

"Sh*t! Recently, I have not seen Senior Li Ping'an at school indeed. Is something wrong with him?"

Someone whispered.

"D*mn it! Did Liu Qingyun secretly attack Senior Li Ping'an? So, Senior Li Ping'an got hurt and cannot join the combat testing today?"

"I agree with you. What could the rich foppery students like Liu Qingyun dare not do?"

"Sh*t. It's unfair and going too far. How could they do such a thing?"

"..."

People kept talking about it, and they were too irritated and disappointed to take a breath.

As poor students, they were in a hard situation. It was not easy for Li Ping'an to be strong and famous, but unexpectedly he was attacked because he had offended Liu Qingyun, a rich student.

Now, the news was spread from the outside of the testing ground to the inside. People there exploded with anger.

There were fifty thousand students in Lanhai No.1 High School. The top twenty students were the strongest in the late of the Refining Stage. Among them, Li Ping'an was the only one from a poor family, so he was the idol and hope of many poor students.

If Li Ping'an failed, the result would affect him and plenty of poor students who were eager to make progress to go beyond their family limits.

It could be expected that how these poor students would be discouraged by this news that had been spread fifteen minutes earlier than the battle.

Many students were shocked, so they lost their hopes and goals.

If a strong person like Li Ping'an failed to do it, how could these poor ordinary students reach their goals even if they trained hard?

Many teachers and instructors didn't bear it, so they clenched their fists.

However, they couldn't offend the rich students unless they didn't want their work. Who dared to provoke Liu Qingyun?

In other words, Liu Qingyun was not alone, and he was one of the rich students.

Mr. Wang also frowned.

He didn't expect that the battle would be tricked by Liu Qingyun. How horrible the man was!

However, he also knew the ability of Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun not only had entered the Awakening Stage but also went beyond it. Earlier, in the private training of the Family Liu, he even defeated a strong person in the Awakening Stage.

He was a famous powerhouse in Lanhai City.

Mr. Wang didn't know how to deal with it.

It was likely that Mr. Wang would not defeat Liu Qingyun even if he battled with this young man.

In the aspects of background and resources, the gap between the rich and the poor was hard too large to narrow.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang had asked for a leave on the behalf of Li Ping'an, so he would not come here now.

Li Ping'an had more time and more chances to catch up with Liu Qingyun and even would defeat him.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang clenched his fists again.

He believed the dark-skinned young man whom he thought highly of would not disappoint him.

"Childe Qingyun, I have finished the task. At this time, Li Ping'an must run into trouble."

Next to the VIP section in the main testing ground, a follower excitedly whispered to Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun wore a bigger smile. A few moments later, he said with a smile, "Good job. After I battle with Yan Xue and Liu Qu, let's go to the Fairyland on Earth for fun."

"Thanks, Childe Qingyun."

"Hooray for Childe Qingyun!"

His followers beside him were psyched.

The Fairyland on Earth, the most high-end and renowned entertainment place in Lanhai City, won the public's praise.

His followers were not poor, but they didn't get power in their families. So, who could afford the Fairyland on Earth?

Childe Qingyun not only had power in his family but also had his own property.

So how could he not entertain his followers for their behavior today?

Not far from here, Jiang Zhiyan frowned, with her fingers snapping.

What was wrong with Li Ping'an?

There was also anxiety on the face of Ms. Hong.

She was rather busy before, so she didn't notice that her communication gadget had been running low on battery. When she kept calling for someone to search for Li Ping'an just now, its battery ended up running down.

Now, she only could wait for her assistants to come here to report the result. So, she didn't know that Mr. Wang, the manager, had already found Li Ping'an.

In the main testing ground, the atmosphere was totally and painfully different.

Liu Qingyun and a group of rich students started celebrating the absence of Li Ping'an.

However, a young man had been outside the testing ground now.

"Haha, there are so many people here. It's pretty noisy."

Li Ping'an said hello to his close junior with a big smile.

"Senior Li Ping'an?"

The junior was stunned. Suddenly, he cried out as if he were taken philter, "This is Senior Li Ping'an! He has come here. Who dared say he was a coward?"

"What? Senior Li Ping'an?"

"Jesus, Senior Li Ping'an really come here. Haha. Senior Li Ping'an is best!"

"You will win! Senior Li Ping'an!"

"Senior Li Ping'an is coming back as a king!"

Instantly, numerous cheers escalated into the horrible sound waves, which almost trembled the ground.
