Dark Phoenix Prince - Chapter 139

“Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha.” Their laughter grew even louder when they saw that Alu still hadn’t come out even after six hours had passed.

“Wanting to break young master Darien’s record, this little brat has really overestimated himself.”

“Not to mention breaking young master Darien’s record, in my opinion he can’t even break the records of other top disciples.”

“Does he think it’s so easy to comprehend one of our fire temple’s top ten techniques.”

Alu’s supporters were left speechless when they heard the words of Darien’s followers.

In the end, they just stared at the virtual screen that Alu entered with a worried expression.

They waited for Alu to come out.

However, the problem is; even after another hour of time had passed, Alu still hadn’t shown himself.

Now not only had he failed to break Darien’s record, he had failed to even break the records of other top disciples.

For the names that were ranked number one on each virtual screen, although the time they needed to master any of the techniques also exceeded six hours, it was still less than seven hours.

But Alu has already exceeded seven hours.

“I told you, this little brat is just a little lucky. He might get a certain heavenly treasure for increasing his strength quickly.”

“That’s right. In fact, his true talent is not very good. He still can’t compare to our fire temple geniuses.”

“Luck won’t always come. In my opinion, this little brat’s future will only be mediocre.”

“…”

Their words made even those who supported Alu begin to hesitate.

Most of the people who support Alu are women. They may be fascinated by his appearance and attitude, but the reason why they support Alu is because of his talent.

If Alu’s talent wasn’t what they imagined, they wouldn’t support him. In their eyes, handsome men with mediocre talent were only fit to be their toys.

No one dared speak up to refute the words of Darien’s followers. The facts before them were too obvious.

At this moment, even Gareth and Flint started changing their expressions. Flint even looked like he wanted to sneer.

Shua…

When people were busy discussing about Alu, the figure of an old woman suddenly appeared in front of them. The old woman appeared right in front of ten virtual screens.

The old woman was the Elder guarding the entrance to the library.

The old woman usually only slept at the entrance to the library. She rarely even opened her eyes. Almost all the students never saw her enter the library.

Even when Darien broke new records, she still didn’t move away from her place.

Hee sudden appearance naturally stunned the disciples.

They wondered what this elder lady was doing.

Since she was standing in front of all of them, and she was facing the ten virtual screens, not a single one of the people in the place could see her current expression.

Of course, if they wanted, they could see her expression with their soul sense. However, none of those disciples dared to use their soul sense on an elder. Especially that elder with a strange personality.

Shua…

At a time when they were still confused by the old woman’s sudden appearance, the figure they had been waiting for finally came out of the virtual screen.

“He’s finally out.” They said.

But because of the old woman’s presence in front of them, no one dared to speak too loudly.

They could only stare at the newly appeared Alu with a curious expression.

Even though they couldn’t see the old woman’s expression, they could tell that she was currently watching Alu.

The fact that Alu came out right after the old woman appeared made them start thinking about the reason why the old woman had appeared.

Meanwhile, Alu who just came out of the virtual screen was still showing an innocent expression like before.

When he saw the old woman who appeared in front of him, he immediately paid his respects to the old woman. “Greetings Elder.” He says.

He also spoke to the disciples who were staring at him.

“Sorry for the senior brothers and sisters for making all of you wait too long. My talents are not that good and it took me a lot of time to comprehend these techniques.”

“…”

When the disciples heard Alu’s words, their expressions didn’t change much.

However, when they started paying close attention to Alu’s last words, they started to get a little confused.

These techniques!

What are you saying? You speak as if you are comprehending many techniques. They spoke to themselves.

They looked at Alu with strange expressions.

Darien’s followers even muttered in low voices. “This little brat still wants to brag even after he failed.”

“Does he think people have no eyes so that no one can see his hypocrisy.”

“Absolutely disgusting. How could someone like this compare to young master Darien. This only damaged our young master’s reputation.”

“…**

However, as they continued to stare at Alu, they began to find something was wrong.

“Uh. Did I see something wrong.” Several people said while rubbing their eyes.

“No. What I see is the same as you.”

“That’s right. This little brat didn’t actually come out from where he entered.”

“What happened?”

At this time, people finally noticed that Alu did not come out of the virtual screen he entered earlier. He came out of another virtual screen.

“Ah, look at that.” One of the disciples suddenly shouted, worrying the other disciples.

After all, there was an elder with a strange personality before them. If the elder was angry, she would probably kill all of them.

But they still stared at the screaming student. They saw the disciple raise his hand and finger pointing towards the top of one of the virtual screens.

The gazes of the people then followed the direction in which the disciple’s finger was pointing, and when they finally saw what the disciple was pointing at, their eyes immediately widened while their mouths were very wide open.

Above Darien’s name, they saw a new name appear. And what made them so shocked was the timestamp beside the name.

(Alu. 20 minutes.)

Not to mention them, even the old woman who was standing at the front also opened her mouth.

“Nonsense.”

“How is this possible.”

“Is there something wrong with this library.” People started screaming.

“No, look at the next screen.” The disciple who shouted earlier shouted once again.

As the people shifted their gaze to the side, they almost fell in surprise.

After that, there were even more screams as people discovering new names appeared on each virtual screen.

(Alu. 30 minutes.)

(Alu. 50 minutes.)

(Alu. 1 hour.)

Some people even nearly fainted when they saw the numbers and letters.

One hour is the longest. There really is nothing more than that.

Hisss…

The people started hissing as they stared at Alu who was standing facing them.

Not to mention the other disciples, even Darien’s followers started staring at Alu with expressions of worship.

Miracle. This is called a miracle.

Compared to the record set by Alu, the record set by Darien was completely meaningless.

Darien’s followers began to stare at each other with strange eyes. They seemed to have tacit understanding.

Luckily Darien was not there. Otherwise, he would probably vomit blood the moment he saw the expressions of his followers.

Up ahead, the library entrance guard elder stared at Alu with bright eyes after she calmed down.

She then said. “You really surprised son.”

Her eyes when she saw Alu looked like she was looking at a treasure of the rarest.

“Mm.” Alu just responded innocently.

“All right, do whatever you want.” She said one more time.

Shua…

After saying that, she immediately disappeared from there.

But even though she had disappeared, the disciples in that place still didn’t dare to speak. They were still staring at Alu with complicated expressions.

Alu didn’t really care about their gazes. He’s just acting shy.

He then looked at Angela and the others. “How about we go to the armory now sister senior. I’m done here.” He spoke to Angela.

Of course, in front of people, he still spoke in a polite tone when he spoke to Angela.

“Mm.” Angela who was still dumbfounded quickly nodded after she heard Alu’s words.

“Let’s go.” She said before leading Alu to leave the library.

The people behind them who were now in front of them immediately opened a path as they passed.

After they passed them all, they all immediately followed behind them.

They know that there will be another show waiting for them in the arsenal.

At this moment, even Darien’s followers were following them with great enthusiasm.

Among Darien’s followers, there were some people of status like Angela and the other two.

These people are unlike any of Darien’s other followers. They don’t really defend Darien. All they did was join the ranks of Darien’s followers.

They, however, also had high status, so it was only natural that they didn’t try to curry favor with Darien.

But now, as they followed Alu, they were seen trying to walk near Alu.

No one dared to stand in their way. Because of this, they were able to easily arrive behind Alu.

Gareth, Angela, and Flint looked at them with strange expressions as they saw them appear behind them.
