Chapter 120: Chapter 117: The Number 1 Person of the Eastern Capital Military Academy

"Junior Gao Neng, I have some fruit here. Would you like to eat some?" a senior girl asked, bashfully half-hiding her face. Seeing that Gao Neng hadn’t touched his chopsticks, she produced a plate of fruit from behind her.

"Thank you, Senior," Gao Neng said. He then opened his system’s Attribute Panel. Sure enough, a button had appeared in the evolution section.

He tapped the button.

"DING! The system has met the requirements for evolution. Do you wish to evolve now?"

"Evolve!" Gao Neng didn’t waste a second and chose to evolve immediately. At the same time, the system panel went black, and then a progress bar appeared.

Gao Neng glanced at it. ’Looks like this will take some time.’

Next, he glanced at the meal box in front of him. His stomach let out an involuntary RUMBLE. He really was hungry. With a meal served right in front of him, he certainly wasn’t going to refuse.

After thanking the two seniors again, Gao Neng started to eat his meal and the fruit.

Seeing Gao Neng begin to eat, the two second-year seniors were very happy.

’This handsome junior is actually quite polite.’

’Not at all like the shameless person everyone described.’

Most importantly, Gao Neng was a celebrity now. The story of him single-handedly fighting a thousand freshmen had already spread through the Eastern Capital Military Academy in an instant.

When the two seniors saw that Gao Neng wasn’t a cold person, they started sharing some gossip with him.

For example, Vice Principal Wang Qixing might seem to be on bad terms with Principal Song Tianyun, but they were actually life-and-death comrades, and Song Tianyun had even saved Wang Qixing’s life.

For another, Gu Yi was once a combat hero who went missing for two months during an "infiltration" mission. He returned safe and sound, but rumor has it he had a thing with an Angel from another race.

And maybe even had a daughter with her?

Gao Neng was quite interested in these secrets. ’The more you listen, the more you learn.’

After finishing with the secret gossip, the two seniors started talking about life at the military academy. As they talked, the conversation shifted to forming battle teams and the "Battle Rankings."

Gao Neng listened attentively, but when the two seniors told him that his mentor was Gui Zian, his expression finally darkened.

’That big bald guy?’

’This doesn’t fit the script...’

’Normally, for a genius like me with both looks and talent, shouldn’t the mentor be a beautiful, charming woman? What the hell is this about a big bald guy?’

Gao Neng was not happy.

The thought of having to face a big bald guy every day, and possibly being constantly worked to the bone by him, gave him a weird feeling.

’Now I don’t just want to switch academies, I want to switch mentors too.’

’And I have to switch!’

"Junior Gao Neng doesn’t seem to like Vice Director Gui?" The two seniors sensed Gao Neng’s displeasure and giggled, covering their mouths.

"Is ’like’ really the right word for this?" Gao Neng retorted.

"Haha, you’re so funny, Junior Gao Neng. Or are you planning on ’rising to the man’?" The two seniors were clearly quite worldly, with little jokes ready at a moment’s notice.

"..." Gao Neng was momentarily at a loss for words.

"In the War Academy, Teacher Li is the nicest one. She’s beautiful and speaks so gently. If you were with Teacher Li, Junior Gao Neng, you’d definitely be well taken care of."

The two seniors started telling Gao Neng more about the War Academy.

"Oh, right, Junior Gao Neng, Vice Director Gui has a nickname. Do you know what it is?"

"The Bald Vulture?"

"Hahaha, no, it’s the Bald Shark!"

"COUGH COUGH!"

Just then, two figures appeared at the doorway.

It was none other than Gui Zian and Fang Tangtang.

The seniors’ cheerful expressions instantly froze. Their faces paled, and they fled without even daring to look up.

Gui Zian didn’t stop them. He just stared with a dark expression at the food and fruit laid out in front of Gao Neng. ’This brat beats up girls on the training grounds, so how is he still so popular with them?’

’Is it just because he’s handsome?!’

’Girls these days are getting more and more superficial...’

Gui Zian felt it was time to rectify these improper tendencies at the Eastern Capital Military Academy.

"Can you walk?" Gui Zian asked coldly.

"Yes," Gao Neng nodded.

"Then get changed and come with me!" Gui Zian said and turned to leave, but he stopped at the door. "Don’t think you’re so great just because you beat a few freshmen. The Eastern Capital Military Academy isn’t as weak as you think. It won’t be too late to be arrogant after you’ve fought your way onto the ’Battle Rankings’!"

After saying his piece, Gui Zian left.

Fang Tangtang, however, showed no signs of leaving. She quickly darted to Gao Neng’s bedside, blinking her big eyes at him. "The Bald Shark is my mentor, too!"

"I already guessed." Gao Neng wasn’t an idiot. The Bald Shark had come in with this scheming little loli; how could he not have guessed?

"Want to get on the Battle Rankings?" Fang Tangtang continued, unfazed.

"We’ll see," Gao Neng replied. Although the two seniors had told him a few things about the Battle Rankings, he didn’t actually know much about them.

He had only managed to grasp one thing.

The Battle Rankings...

...seemed to be more than just a simple ranking of strength.

"If you want to get on the Battle Rankings, you should hurry up and join my battle team. If you’re too late, my team will probably be full." Fang Tangtang got very excited whenever she mentioned her team.

Gao Neng ignored her.

He simply put on his jacket and walked out the door.

Fang Tangtang didn’t seem to mind being ignored and quickly followed him.

The two of them left the infirmary.

Gao Neng saw Gui Zian waiting outside. Besides him, there were two other familiar faces.

"Gao Neng, I will get my revenge!" The moment Feng Qingqing saw Gao Neng, she whipped her head to the side, then instinctively touched her chest.
