X-Dragon Era-Chapter 578 - s Po Kong Joins the Team_3

In the previous life, during this realm's Academy Challenge, the team captain was Po Kong, with two fixed members being Yi Luo Xiang and Ka Men. Yan Qingying also participated in the competition, but the Yan Qingying of that life was not from Mountain Sea Academy. As for substitutes, Xin Yun couldn't remember clearly, it seemed like there was no such rule for substitutes in her memory.

Staring out at the lush plains outside the window, for a long time... Po Kong finally let out a sigh. To be honest, he really wanted to compete in this World Academy Challenge, he was crazily eager. For a Martial Artist, not being able to take part in the World Academy Challenge was just like an athlete on Earth never having been able to participate in the Olympics, a truly regrettable matter.

The World Academy Challenge took place every thirty years, and if this opportunity was missed, by the next event, even if Po Kong didn't reach the Diamond Ten Stars, he definitely wouldn't remain at the crystal stage either. Thirty years later, Po Kong would no longer be at the Mountain Sea Academy and would, therefore, lose the qualification to compete. So, to say... missing this one meant missing it forever.

His fists clenched tightly, Po Kong really couldn't reconcile with it, couldn't accept it, even in death. Speaking of strength, he was confident that he was no weaker than anyone else in the academy, even if he faced Xin Yun, he believed that he had a greater than fifty percent chance of winning. Yet, even so, he couldn't participate in the competition.

The reason? The reason was simple: no teammates... Initially, Ming Xuan, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying would have been the best choices for teammates, but now, these three were all followers of Xin Yun. Although no one said it out loud, through investigation, Po Kong knew their relationship was definitely more solid than mere followers.

Followers might betray, just like Speedy Slash and Ke Zhan did, but the relationship between those four was beyond what ordinary people could imagine. It was like kinship yet surpassed it, a kind of life-and-death understanding that outsiders couldn't get in between.

Having missed out on those four, while other members of the academy were strong, they couldn't be considered suitable. If any one of them was defeated, the match would end there. Facing an inevitable defeat, Po Kong had no interest in participating.

Gripping his fist tightly, Po Kong couldn't help but recall Xin Yun's words, "Fear not the god-like opponents, but the pig-like teammates." Indeed... this competition was certainly going to be won by that guy, for no other reason than... they were the strongest and also the most balanced! Any one of them was enough to turn Po Kong pale with fear.

"Hehehehe..." Slumping against the back of his chair, Po Kong laughed sorrowfully. Since birth, he had always had whatever he wanted, both wind and rain at his beck and call. Even after entering the academy, he had always had smooth sailing, believing there was nothing he couldn't obtain, a real wish come true.

But now, for the first time, he realized that while he could obtain many things unimaginable to others with power and money, some things simply could not be acquired through power and money.

Missing this World Academy Challenge was an unimaginable blow to Po Kong, and it could be said... missing this chance meant Po Kong's life was never going to be perfect again. Even if he became number one in the world in the future, this regret would ultimately be irremediable.

Although born into the first family, as a Martial Artist, these were not what Po Kong valued. If possible, he would rather give up the backing of his family, just for the chance to compete in the World Academy Challenge, for the opportunity to become the most outstanding young fighter of his generation!

After earning the honor of the best young fighter, then obtaining the title of the world's number one, such was the life Po Kong longed for. If possible, he was willing to give his all for it!

Maybe some wouldn't understand, but at the core, Po Kong was more of a Martial Artist than anything else. The family background was just another part of his identity. To Po Kong, the Martial Path was everything.

Unfortunately, Po Kong knew his own situation well, no matter how much he yearned for it, this opportunity was destined to be missed. Even if Xin Yun and others didn't participate, even if he successfully represented the academy in battle, in the World Academy Challenge, he was still doomed to fail. Without suitable teammates, he could only lose, not win! In despair, tears began to glisten in Po Kong's eyes.

"Knock, knock, knock..." Just as he was engulfed in sadness, the front door was suddenly knocked on. Hearing the knocking, Po Kong was startled at first but then swiftly stood up, quickly wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, erasing all the tears that had accumulated. As a man, Po Kong had always believed in shedding blood, not tears.

"Come in!" After wiping away his tears, Po Kong straightened up and called out loudly.

Following Po Kong's voice, the heavy door was pushed open, and Po Kong's personal maid cautiously peeked her head in, softly saying, "Young Master, there are a few people outside looking for you."

Hearing the maid's words, Po Kong frowned and said sternly, "Haven't I told you? I meet no one during my training, how could you... Could you have forgotten my words?"

Seeing Po Kong's displeasure, the maid replied anxiously, "No... that's not it. These people, you had instructed us that should they come looking for you, we must immediately inform you."

"Hmm?" Hearing the maid's response, Po Kong was first taken aback but then his eyes suddenly lit up. He had indeed given such an order, but that order targeted was!
