Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 542 - 540: Public Outrage of Men and Gods_1

"Everything is arranged, but are you sure about doing this?"

Yu Lan cast away her earlier frivolous demeanor, her expression solemn. It was clear that this wasn't a matter to be taken lightly.

"Why should we let those cancers linger around? At our Human Race's critical juncture, they did not lend a hand. Worse, they attacked their own kind."

When the subject came up, Qin Ying's face was full of fury. The original organization's members attacked their comrades for a few vials of King-level demonic beast blood. They were utterly inhuman.

This event incited not only Qin Ying's rage but also the wrath of the Human Race's warriors in the Star War Battlefield.

Everybody was furious. Orders were issued to eradicate the original organization on Earth.

"We have lost too much power in the war against the beasts. We are not enough on our own. Are you sure the four major academies will take action?"

Yu Lan was somewhat worried. The original organization's strength was hidden in secret. The outside world wasn't clear how strong they really were. She feared that the Federation's remaining power on Earth would not be enough to face the original organization.

The four major academies were backed by the Royal Family, which might not lend a hand in such times.

"Send a message to the four major academies. I want to see their leadership. The Federation has nurtured them; their destruction is also at their disposal."

As she spoke, Qin Ying's gaze flashed with disdain.

Even the Royal Family was subject to the Federation's constraints.

"I will go immediately, but aren't you going to ask for Wang Zhan's help?"

Yu Lan appeared to look down on Wang Zhan, but in her heart, she still recognized his abilities.

"Not necessary, this matter is trivial to him."

Qin Ying didn't want to bother Wang Zhan. If the vast Federation couldn't even handle the original organization, how could they rule the world?

After Wang Zhan left, he went straight to the Royal Martial Arts Academy where he found Edward.

Edward wasn't surprised at Wang Zhan's arrival.

Wang Zhan found a chair and sat down, after which he stated his purpose.

"I want a spot in the Star War Battlefield."

Edward wasn't surprised by Wang Zhan's directness. He was already prepared for such a request.

"No problem, but I need you to agree to a condition, otherwise it would be difficult for me to explain."

Wang Zhan was a bit surprised. He knew Edward wouldn't agree so easily.

"What condition?"

Edward slowly said, "The Spirit Crystals you obtain in the Star War Battlefield need to be sold to the four major academies first."

As he spoke, he made himself a cup of tea, not worried at all that Wang Zhan would refuse.

"Alright!"

Wang Zhan didn't ask what Spirit Crystals were. Once he entered the Star War Battlefield, he would naturally know. What he needed now was this opportunity.

Wang Zhan and Edward agreed on a time and then he left.

After Wang Zhan's departure, the Royal Martial Arts Academy was abuzz, everyone was discussing it.

At that moment, three Old Men, Yun Tianyi, Wei Daoming, and Mu Dongjun, walked out of Edward's room.

If Wang Zhan were to see this, he would certainly be shocked, wondering what these Old Men were plotting.

"You just gave the spot to Wang Zhan?"

Yun Tianyi didn't really understand Edward's actions. Spirit Crystals were precious, but they couldn't compare to a Star War Battlefield spot.

"What else? We used to view Wang Zhan as a pawn. Now he has grown up, unpredictable. Why not make a preemptive move!"

Edward was making a bold bet: he believed in the brilliant Wang Zhan's potential to make a big splash. Besides, the Royal Martial Arts Academy had deep roots. To use a Star War Battlefield spot to bet on Wang Zhan eventually becoming the strongest was a worthwhile gamble.

I wonder what Wang Zhan would think if he knew he was being schemed against by the old fox yet again.

「At this moment, Wang Zhan, who had returned home, was obediently seated beside Yang Cui.」

All three had to admit that Edward had made a splendid move. Then again, weren't they all someone else's pawns?

Once you enter the chessboard, you're a pawn for life. They wanted to see if Wang Zhan could break the game.

"Regarding the dispatch of troops to exterminate the original organization, what are your thoughts?"

The speaker was Mu Dongjun, who was somewhat indecisive about the orders issued by the Federation.

"The Federation has made a good plan. What can they do if we don't comply?"

Edward was the first to express his opinion. The four major academies were backed by the Royal Family, and were not so easily commanded by the Federation's orders.

"But all our resources are controlled by the Federation. Isn't sudden disobedience not a good idea?"

Yun Tianyi was somewhat worried. The four major academies had achieved their current status by accumulating resources, and cutting off these resources would be akin to signing their death warrants.

"The Royal Family, being on the Star War Battlefield, doesn't have autonomy over resource distribution matters anyway. Isn't it not good for us to offend the Federation like this?"

Wei Daoming also voiced his worries. The four major academies had deep roots and were backed by the Royal Family, but offending the Federation now didn't seem advantageous.

Among the four, only Edward remained firm.

This time, Qin Ying's threats were backed by substantial power, and it didn't seem like she was joking about cutting off resources.

"The Royal Family hasn't mistreated us over the years. Now, are you afraid of a weak woman? I don't believe she dares to cut off our Academy's resources; the Royal Family will surely stand up for us."

Edward said with indignation. As the head of the top Academy of the Federation, he believed that Qin Ying was disrespecting him by merely issuing a directive to send their elites to their deaths.

Yun Tianyi retorted against Edward. He believed that ever since the Royal Family had shifted its focus to the Star War Battlefield, they hadn't provided any resources to the four major academies. On the contrary, the Federation had consistently been providing resources to nurture students. Even if these students were eventually absorbed by the Royal Family, there were no complaints as long as it contributed to the stability of the Star War Battlefield.

"Besides, have you all forgotten about the Battle of Chu State and the unspeakable things the original organization did?"

Wei Daoming obviously agreed with Yun Tianyi's viewpoint; the original organization colluded with the Beast Clan, disregarding the lives of their fellow beings.

They all recalled how the original organization had defected at a critical moment during the Battle of Chu State, inflicting immense damage upon the Human Race. Most of the casualties had been Academy students, the look of unwillingness on their faces still vivid in their memories.

"So what? That's not a justification for the Federation to treat us as cannon fodder. Does she, a girl, know how to fight? Pointing and directing us around."

Even though his stance had slightly softened moments ago, Edward still refused to back down. Qin Ying's attempt to command him with just an order was something he found intolerable.

"But after all, she is the Secretary-General of the Federal President and has made quite a lot of contributions to the Federation. Moreover, this is aimed at the original organization, which is in line with the public sentiment."

The original organization's deeds in Chu State had infuriated the public. Wei Daoming believed that the Federation leading the four major academies to counter the original organization could earn them a good reputation.

「Meanwhile, inside an office within the Federal Presidential Palace, Qin Ying was still working.」

Yu Lan pushed the door and entered.

"Won't you ask me if the representatives of the four major academies agreed?"

Qin Ying put down the pen in her hand, her voice pleasant to the ear.

"There's no need to ask. Those four Old Men will surely agree unless they're idiots."

In Qin Ying's opinion, the threat of cutting off resources was merely a bluff. Given the public outcry demanding severe punishment for the original organization, she believed it was only logical for the four major academies to seize the opportunity.

"But that Old Man Edward seems to have a big issue with you, and he's the first dean among the four major academies."

Yu Lan didn't have a good feeling about Edward's attitude towards her when she visited the Royal Martial Arts Academy earlier today.

"How does it matter if he's the top dean of the Federation? If he's too old to move with the times, we'll just replace him."

Qin Ying showed disdain for Edward's pompous behavior. What the Federation didn't lack was manpower, and anyone playing dumb in this critical situation could be replaced. What if they had the backing of the Royal Family? Qin Ying didn't believe that the Royal Family would dare to turn against the Federation over a few Academy heads.

"You're right. I didn't find that Old Man pleasant today. He's too arrogant and even said you didn't have manners."

Remembering Edward's demeanor, Yu Lan felt contemptuous.

"Some older people tend to be slow in response. Come on, let's go for supper, I'm a bit hungry."

Qin Ying was about to leave after tidying up, having done all she could. Now, all she had to do was wait.

"Hehe, your little lover won't be with you tonight; let me pamper you. It's been a long time since we've slept together."

"Alright, let's see how I'll tame you, you goblin."

Yu Lan seemed very pleased. They shared a superior-subordinate relationship during working hours and were just friends during off-hours. The two women left the office amidst their playful bickering.

「Back at the Royal Martial Arts Academy, the heads of the four major academies were red-faced from their heated debate. Edward eventually, and reluctantly, agreed after Yun Tianyi reasoned that even if the Federation killed them, the Royal Family wouldn't seek revenge on their behalf.」

Eventually, the four major academies decided to dispatch a Martial Emperor Expert from each Academy, ten Martial Kings, and twenty Grandmasters to annihilate the original organization.

This group could be described as the top treasures of the Academies, generally kept hidden.

These talents would normally only appear in times of crisis. This time, the grand display against the original organization was unprecedented.

After concluding the meeting, Edward left to get some fresh air, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

This time, deploying such powerful combat power against the original organization made Edward somewhat apprehensive of potential accidents.

When the heads of the four major academies finally made a decision, Qin Ying got wind of it. Her lips curled up in a small smile.

On this night, the decision to annihilate the original organization was settled. The Federation would later appoint a holiday to commemorate this day.

If Wang Zhan knew about these events, he would definitely not hesitate to use his big saber to shred the members of the original organization.
