"Next, I want to have the most beautiful and biggest harem in the multiverse. I also want to have an unlimited lifespan, have the coolest weapons, have a massive mansion for all my beauties to live and we will enjoy ourselves every night, oh, even day. Then I also want an unlimited buffe-"
"That's enough, stop shaming yourself any further. Here, wear the necklace."
While the village chief put the necklace onto Feng's neck, the others were stupefied by this kid's grand ambition.
"He's a pervert! A creep!" Qiu, who had a face flushed in red, shouted, "I ask again, how do you like this guy?"
Lin shrugged his shoulders.
[We'll get along with that girl over there. I'm not surprised with every word you just said... how far I have fallen.]
Meanwhile, the envoys disregarded this as a kid who didn't know his limits. His answer was abnormal but nothing to be worried about. He will learn the harsh reality in the near future, they thought. And ultimately, why do they care? This kid's not their responsibility.
"I don't see anything." Feng said and the village chief took the necklace without any surprise shown on his face.
But there are some sharp individuals that picked up Feng's strange reaction. Normally, as shown before, children would be depressed after seeing that they have no physique. Because no matter how untalented you are, there is a small hope that you would've one.
Maybe he already expects nothing? Feng is a weird kid in the first place so maybe.
After the village chief took the necklace away, three envoys raised their hands. This was to be expected since Feng was just nine who had reached the second stage. If not for Lin's revelation earlier, he would've been highly regarded at this moment.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Kong raised his hand!
'If I don't bring anyone back, others might think that I didn't do anything. Might as well bring this kid. He couldn't compare to the other two but he has the potential to become above-average.'
"Tiger Breath Corporation invites Feng."
"Heavy Gust Academy invites Feng."
The other two envoys said. They didn't need any more introduction regarding the faction they represented. Furthermore, they believed that these children should be tutored about this before the envoys even arrived.
Even Li Kong didn't feel the need to say that he represents the military. He was sure that Feng will choose him.
From afar, Feng's parents saw this and were speechless. Never in their expectation that any envoy would raise their hands!
"D-dear! Am I seeing right?" Fei broke the silence which incited vigor from Boqin.
"No, dear! The military is going to accept our son! The Hawk Might City's Military, dear! The faction that has more resources than the rest of the factions combined!"
"Sniff... I don't know how Feng did it but sniff, he will finally be able to leave this shithole."
Back to the place where the Trial and Observation was being currently held, the village chief urged.
"Pick now so that we can finish this."
"Hm? But I want to go to the High Wind Academy because Lin is there." Feng said which made Lin form a smile, while a heavy frown on Li Kong.
He was rejected by Lin last year and made a scene. If Ling Qin didn't stop him, he might've beaten Lin. Now, is he getting rejected again? What does he do now?
The village chief sweated and angrily whispered while exerting some pressure on Feng.
"Feng, did you not hear earlier? The High Wind Academy is no longer accepting anyone. Also, the Hawk Might City's Military is offering you an invitation, is that not enough for you?"
"I want the High Wind Academy though... if that's how it is, I will just wait for next year." Feng then went back when Lin suddenly shouted.
"Feng, we can just be together at the military then."
"What!?" both Ling Qin and Li Kong reacted at the same time but with different expressions.
Li Kong widely smiled, feeling this is a godsend opportunity.
"Yes! I will accept you both! As long as that is your decision! I will even put you in the same squad!"
"But Lin has already accepted my invitation!"
"Is he already enrolled?" Li Kong looked at Ling Qin with an "innocent face"
"Ling Qin, do you have a problem? This is the child's decision." Mei Lan butted in. Earlier, Ling Qin directly and shamelessly attacked their offers. How could she not ally with Li Kong?
"Grr..." Ling Qin's face contorted. He was cornered but he will definitely not let a future powerhouse go.
"Fine, the High Wind Academy extends its invitation to Feng." he continued.
"I thought we only have two slots, Ling Qin?" Li Kong asked again with a dumb face.
Ling Qin's eyes widened. He totally forgot about it! If he denied it, it is akin to shouting that he is a big liar. By doing so, he will not only harm his image but also that High Wind Academy he represents!
"Hahaha, Li Kong, you misunderstand. I'm saying this because three months from now, the High Wind Academy will open up, letting youths have the chance to enroll. Normally, only those who have recommendations can try the entrance examination so I am handing a recommendation."
Li Kong's face contorted to a frown. He got too complacent.
"But that's still three months from now."
"The current school year still has two months before it ended. Lin can't just transfer in at the end of the school year so he still has to wait. In other words, there's no difference if I take them in now or if they want to enroll three months from now."
If only there is one envoy, that person will just take every talented youth whether they like it or not. But because of the presence of other representatives, they have restricted themselves.
"So what are you two going to choose?" Li Kong said with an amicable smile.
Lin just looked at Feng for a decision.
"I want the military since I want to see Uncle Jun gets beaten up but..."
Jun suddenly began coughing out wildly. He now fully realized whose fault it is why their son acted this way!
"But...?" Li Kong was prepared to go against what Feng wants to say.
"But the military is strict and tough, I don't like it."
"N-...!" Li Kong was about to say something but he realized he couldn't deny Feng's statement. The military is indeed strict and tough.
"And the city hall is full of work... I think. Let's just go with the High Wind Academy. I think there's a lot of pretty chicks there." Feng pointed out.
"Ughh... okay..." Lin responded with a dismayed look after knowing Feng's reasons.
'No! I should just be beside Feng all the time or he will get a lot of girls there!' he toughened his will.
If Rumia heard this, she will be weirded out - you expect him to get girls with his personality?
Ling Qin laughed loudly and said.
"Okay! Then I expect to see you there little Feng. Let's go. Parents, you can have your time with your children first before they go out. Even if you can visit them anytime, a few words right now are important."
Li Kong and Mei Lan rolled their eyes at this.
'When did you give the children have some time with their parents? Aren't you too much in a good mood?'
"Wait, I can't stay here with Feng? We'll just go after three months." Lin said but Ling Qin shook his head.
"The Gentle Breeze Valley is not only our destination. We have to register your names immediately so that there will be no mistakes made."
Lin was about to say something but then he heard Rumia's voice in his head.
[Feng said that you can go first. Your father will definitely do something to you if you stayed. He said that he will catch up to you later while you complete your missions.]
Although Lin was not saying it, Feng knew that Jun being an abusive father was not an understatement. After what happened last year, Lin was beaten black and blue by his father. He had to recover for a few weeks before playing with Feng again.
'Sour relationship? Lin, you're too kind. You think you can hide your bruises from me? There are new ones almost every day behind your shirt. If that's not abuse, I don't know what.'
This is the reason why Lin accepted Feng's plan. He too wanted his father to taste some beatings as well.
Lin may be kind but that is only towards Feng. Inwardly, he loathes everyone in the Gentle Breeze Valley excluding his mother, Feng, and Feng's parents.
'Wait, but what about Feng? What if Father will do something to him?'
Lin was aware that his request about his father and his friends going to the military is not going to be acted upon immediately. If Feng didn't get out of there, isn't he in danger?
[Also, Feng said not to worry. If you do all your missions, he will get stronger as well and be able to defend himself.]
Hearing this in his head, Lin nodded before following Ling Qin.
The envoys left in their horses, leaving Feng in the middle of the Gentle Breeze Valley's people.
