Does He Really Have That Much Value?

This is an underground training room within the Star Guidance Academy.

Fang Li stood in the center of the underground training room, looking at Fan Xinglu who was eagerly waiting beside him, and sighed.

Although he knew it would probably be useless, Fang Li still said it anyway.

"Is this alright, Master?"

What Fang Li was referring to was already quite clear.

This is Claudia's previous request.

"Isn't it too hasty to agree to this?" Fang Li said. "No matter how you look at it, this duel is of no benefit to us... no, I should say to me, isn't it?"

The reason Claudia made that request was obvious; she simply wanted to know about Bō Xié's performance and gather information on Bō Xié, which had been progressing with considerable difficulty.

That was information about the Pure Star Imperial Armament, which had been mysterious for decades or even nearly a century and had not been used by anyone. Moreover, it was created by the original "Myriad Heavenly Net" and had always been quite mysterious.

This information would be attractive not only to the six major academies, but also to the Integrated Enterprise Conglomerate, right?

"It's not that I'm hiding my abilities like a guilty thief, but it's currently the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, and I'm participating as a contestant. If I were to reveal Bō Xié abilities here, wouldn't that be a bit of a loss?"

Fang Li sighed, "Anyway, after the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, Bō Xié's abilities will definitely be exposed, and people will be able to collect information just the same way. Why bother agreeing to their request now?"

That's what they said, but Fang Li already knew how Fan Xinglu would answer.

The reason would definitely be something like "Isn't this fun?"

Isn't this interesting?

As expected, Fan Xinglu repeated in a cheerful voice the exact same answer that Fang Li had in mind, word for word.

Because he had anticipated this, Fang Li was able to suppress his sigh this time.

"Never mind," Fang Li said helplessly.

"If he were an upright martial artist like Senior Brother Zhao, he would openly and honestly demonstrate the abilities of the Pure Star Imperial Armament even if others didn't ask him to, right?"

Therefore, rationally, Fang Li clearly knew that this was not good, but emotionally, Fang Li felt indifferent.

In terms of how freely she acts, she's not much different from Fan Xinglu.

As the meaningless conversation between the master and apprentice came to an end, the door to the training room finally opened.

"Sorry, it took a little time."

Claudia said this with a smile as she walked in from outside the door.

Behind him were two other people.

One of them was a middle-aged man.

She should be around forty years old.

He was quite robust in physique.

He doesn't have the aura of Star Pulse Energy, so he probably isn't from the Star Pulse Generation.

He wasn't from the Star Pulse Generation, yet he seemed to move in and out of the Star Guidance Hall's facilities quite naturally. Judging from this, he must be a high-ranking member of the academy.

However, what caught Fang Li's attention was not the middle-aged man, but a young girl behind him.

A somewhat Yuiyui girl followed not far behind the former.

The girl was wearing a white uniform, which was somewhat different from Claudia's uniform, so she was probably from junior high school, not high school.

Naturally, as a junior high school student, the girl was petite and probably around thirteen or fourteen years old. Although her face had a touch of childishness, her features were very well-proportioned. Even though she was still young, she was still beautiful enough to be called a pretty girl.

This girl has waist-length silver hair, tied into two tufts on either side of her head. Her hairstyle is similar to Riko's, and her hair color is as unique as Alisa's. However, she lacks Riko's liveliness and Alisa's aloofness. Instead, she appears extremely delicate, with a pair of large, watery eyes that seem ready to burst into tears at any moment. This makes one feel a sense of guilt, wondering if they have unintentionally bullied this girl.

However, the girl possessed a beautiful figure that was clearly visible even through her clothes.

Especially her full bust, which is almost like that of a mature woman, is comparable to Riko's.

I believe that anyone would instinctively feel protective of such a delicate young girl.

Unfortunately, Fang Li doesn't know how.

Because Fang Li knew the girl's identity.

"I really didn't expect this."

Fan Xinglu's gaze immediately fell on the girl, and she smiled with a hint of surprise.

"Unexpectedly, the sparring partner that the Star Guidance Hall found was actually the number one genius in the rankings."

Yes.

It ranks first in the sequence.

This delicate girl, who easily evokes a protective instinct in others, is none other than the number one ranked student at the Star Guidance Hall, nominally the strongest student in the academy.

"Kiririn Ditou..."

A super genius who, at only thirteen years old, defeated his predecessor as the number one and became the strongest in the Star Guidance Hall.

As for the man in front of her, he was Kiririn Ditou's uncle, Koichiro Ditou.

This person is also quite famous.

Because he is an employee of the Integrated Enterprise Conglomerate that operates Star Guidance Academy, and he is also a candidate for executive, so his position may be higher than that of the chairman of the Star Guidance Academy.

This is why this cadre candidate can freely enter and leave Star Guidance Academy.

Of course, the reason this person came here was not because he cared about Kiririn Ditou.

On the contrary, judging from the fact that Koichiro Ditou didn't even glance at Kiririn Ditou following behind him and strode into the underground training room, this uncle clearly didn't like Kiririn Ditou at all.

Moreover, the look in Koichiro Ditou's eyes when he looked at Fang Li, Fan Xinglu, and even Claudia was filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.

That's the kind of rejection and hostility that ordinary people have towards the Star Pulse Generation.

So, Koichiro Ditou first glanced at Fan Xinglu, then looked at Fang Li and suddenly spoke.

"Are you the user of Bō Xié?"

There was not a trace of politeness in his voice; it was all condescension.

"A freshman who has only been enrolled for a short time and has not even made it into the rankings, actually asked the number one ranked student in the academy to be his duel opponent for collecting weapon data. It makes one wonder if he is joking."

As he said this, Koichiro Ditou looked at Claudia and said with some displeasure, "Does this person really have that kind of value?"

One sentence made the atmosphere in the entire training room tense.

Fan Xinglu seemed to find it interesting, so she chose to watch from the sidelines.

Fang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Koichiro Ditou.
