Super Soldier King and Cute CEO-Chapter 1696 - 1695: Investigation!
Deep within the Cosmic Star Sky University, the same white-haired Elder from before was now furrowing his brows!
Others couldn’t receive some strange messages, but he could!
"Death... have those things come? No wonder that fellow went berserk the other day, the Star Sky University won’t be peaceful, I should emerge from seclusion!"
The next day!
Tang Zhong awoke from his dream; it was not like yesterday, but even more confusing. He couldn’t sleep anymore and woke up early.
Once daylight broke, he prepared to participate in the second stage of the assessment!
He tidied up and went out; this area was full of their fellow marauders. When Tang Zhong woke up, everyone else was waking up around the same time too!
The group prepared to travel together.
Because of Tang Zhong’s outstanding performance, everyone had remembered him.
"Tang Zhong, let’s go together!"
"Okay!" Tang Zhong replied.
Strangely, Tang Zhong didn’t see Liqiu Xue today. Could the little girl really be afraid of Dual Cultivation?
Actually, although he said it like that, it was just in words and he wouldn’t truly engage in Dual Cultivation!
Sure enough, when Liqiu Xue appeared, she kept her distance from Tang Zhong, making him laugh; this little girl was indeed exceptionally cute!
Without much talk, the group set off towards the exam hall!
I heard it was to be conducted in a gigantic combat simulation arena!
Tang Zhong didn’t know the way, but the others did.
They walked along the road and finally arrived.
It was a huge venue called the Combat Experience Arena.
I heard that in this experience arena, you could simulate battles, lead armies into war!
You could even simulate anything on paper, as long as you wanted it!
Tang Zhong went along with others, but only saw people from the Virtual Universe Company arriving; as for the Cosmic Star Sky University, there wasn’t anyone!
This made Tang Zhong very curious; didn’t they say it was scheduled for this time, so why hadn’t Wu Yue come yet?
Soon, someone arrived piloting a small spacecraft, and after disembarking, said, "Dear students, apologies, our Cosmic Star Sky University has encountered an urgent matter and is in emergency seclusion; the second stage assessment will be postponed!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was dissatisfied and questioned, "Postponed, when will that be?"
"Postponed, well, I don’t know. I’m just here to relay the orders from higher-ups!"
Tang Zhong heard this and associated it with Wu Yue’s expression; the appearance of that burly man yesterday indicated significant issues, or else Cosmic Star Sky University wouldn’t be so cautious!
"But without a rescheduled date, we want to train; we can’t just waste time here!" someone said.
"Do not worry, everyone; our Cosmic Star Sky University has prepared training venues for each of you and is even offering compensation—an Elixir!" the messenger continued.
Offering Elixir!
No one said anything after that.
"If there are no objections, please follow me!" the messenger said.
"None!"
"Let’s go!"
The group followed the messenger and left the area!
Only Tang Zhong stepped forward to inquire of the messenger, "Brother, do you know why the written exam was halted?"
The messenger laughed, "How would I know? I’m just delivering the message!"
"Thank you!" Tang Zhong laughed.
Then he fell into deep thought; with Wu Yue as the leader this time, having not come, but rather sent someone else, it was definitely due to yesterday’s events leading to today’s situation!
He also noticed that Lei Wu wasn’t present, perhaps Cosmic Star Sky University had summoned him?
With his current status, Tang Zhong knew he couldn’t enter that tier, so he would first head to the Cultivation Room!
Then his figure quickly merged into the crowd. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
He would investigate the matter once he had the opportunity!
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of Cosmic Star Sky University, many people were gathered, and the atmosphere was very calm!
Wu Yue, Lei Wu, and the leader of the Virtual Universe Company were present, along with many more teachers and Elders from the Cosmic Star Sky University!
"What exactly happened? Why must the Tri-Force Tea Party be halted?" Lei Wu was most puzzled.
He was only informed to come here and learned that the Tri-Force Tea Party had to be suspended, and now the second stage of the written exam couldn’t proceed!
"Lei Wu, don’t be upset; actually, we don’t know either!" a teacher of high standing said.
"Elder, you must tell us the truth!" Lei Wu, seeing the Elder speaking, responded calmly.
The Elder stroked his beard and then shook his head, "This... I don’t know either!"
Lei Wu was taken aback; knowing this Elder held an important position within the Virtual Universe Company, how could even he not know?
"Elder, our three forces are united, please tell us. Rest assured, we will not speak carelessly!" Lei Wu said.
"The main issue is, I truly don’t know. Halting the Tri-Force Tea Party was an order from above!" the Elder smiled helplessly.
Order from above?
Lei Wu did not inquire further, as the Elder held significant authority, and in Cosmic Star Sky University, only the legendary university presidents ranked above him—a principal and five vice-principals!
"So this time, the Tri-Force Tea Party is paused, and we enter a state of alert!" the Elder continued.
"Something serious happened?" Lei Wu and the others were startled, entering alert mode indicated trouble for sure.
"Indeed, the vice-principal’s words were that there’s an enemy invasion!" the Elder said.
"Who would have such audacity to invade Cosmic Star Sky University? Are they tired of living?" Lei Wu remarked.
"I don’t know!" the Elder shook his head!
The Elder then addressed everyone present, "From now on, Cosmic Star Sky University is closed to outsiders, and a thorough investigation of everyone within the university is necessary. I mean, verify every single identity, let none slip through!"
"Understood!"
...
On the other hand, Tang Zhong and the others had entered the Cultivation Room and began cultivating.
Cosmic Star Sky University indeed kept its promise, providing each person with an Elixir; this way, no one had more to say, and they were happy to receive a gift!
Many wished to switch to a different cultivation location.
Tang Zhong sat cross-legged directly.
He unleashed his Divine Sense, feeling around to see if any creatures were like the black liquid from before!
However, he noticed that Cosmic University had indeed taken action.
Several people from Cosmic Star Sky University entered the Cultivation Room to inspect everyone!
"Name, which planet?"
This was a check on cosmic identity; when Tang Zhong arrived in the Galactic system, he registered his name.
Those inspecting the crowd would allow passage as long as there were no issues!
Soon, those people reached Tang Zhong: "Name, which planet?"
"Tang Zhong, Earth!"
