Please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prince stumbled back, his eyes bulging and his breath ragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all it took to crush his confidence to smithereens and destroy his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert grew up in a pampering environment since childhood. All the 'challenging' fights he had until this point were carefully planned by the people behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than those 'challenges', the people he fought against were always weaker than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his first time fighting against an overwhelming enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert still had moves he didn't use, treasures he didn't activate, tactics he didn't apply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn't matter anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Varian raised his sword, the Prince felt something inside him die. It was his fire—the pride of a warrior and the confidence in one's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to experience that terrible pain again. Others thought it was just a cut of an arm but only he knew that Varian's aura was inside his body, wrecking havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's as if he had eaten scorching needles. They were destroying him from the inside. His body was spasming from the overwhelming pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I am sorry! I am sorry for insulting your woman and your mother!\" The Prince did the unthinkable and banged his head against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, most of the audience stood up. There was even more shock now than even when Varian crushed the Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert was the younger brother of Rudolph, the second most likely candidate to become the Crown Prince. How could he bow down to someone like Telor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From today, the Prince's reputation would all but sink. He would have no retainers, no support and no prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Telor wouldn't survive once he leaves the academy. Out of respect for the Dean, the forces might not move immediately, but move they would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For all intents and purposes, Telor was a dead man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at the shivering Prince in disgust. He then took out a soft cloth and began wiping the blade of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, if I knew he was such a coward, I wouldn't stain you with his filthy blood.\" He said in a low voice but it was audible to everyone in the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Robert couldn't even refute such humilating words and coughed out blood before passing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Winner: Telor Xon Navak]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host announced in a quivering voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian exhaled lightly and unknown to the audience, a tightly packaged soul power was planted in Prince Robert, concealed away the power of slivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a time bomb to claim the bastard's soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he's not a direct enemy, Varian wasn't so generous to forgive him after taking just a forerarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting away his sword, he headed back to his dorm. Miss Calamity looked at Robert with contempt before flying after the imposter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laboratory was in a synthetic world far away from the Academy. The top 10 students were all taken to a space gate in the academy. Prince Robert, the number 2, wasn't there, however.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one gossiped about that man's condition. The so-called strongest of the academy remained silent and meek as they stood in the company of a dangerous man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, except for one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were sooo cool~\" Miss Calamity clenched her fists in front of her chest and looked at him like a cheergirl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew she was faking it. But sometimes, her words were genuine. This was one of those rare ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to see anything in the lab? I heard they have all sorts of cool stuff! Herbs that are a million years old, medicines that can double your lifespan, armors which can hold back even a rank 9's attack, heck, they even have powerful rank 9 beasts!\" The more she spoke, the more excited she seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked into her eyes for a moment and then turned around. He had a strong feeling that this woman must've guessed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 'Imposter' was aiming for the 'Lab'. It wasn't so difficult to estimate. The timing was just too coincidental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only question, why didn't she stop him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she waiting for him to act so she could find what exactly he was after? Or was she trying to do something else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes shifted and he turned to a familiar face in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number 5 of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Samatv.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his 'awakening', this man acted as if they never met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian thought he'd be after something but strangely, the Prince didn't do anything out of the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was his normal self, Varian would have investigated the Prince and dug up more information. But with an annoying powerhouse stalking him 24x7, he didn't have that luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well, once I get what I want, I don't care what happens.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjusting his mind, Varian waited along with others for the teacher responsible for taking them to the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already running a few mintutes behind the schedule. No one understood why a teacher of all people would be late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more minutes passed and a silhouttee brushed past the crowd and stopped in front of the space gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zara Woz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman with a long tail and large wings folded on her back. She was in formal clothes of a black coat over a white inshirt and a long black skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But isn't she a professor? Where is her badge?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Varian, even the other students were confused at her attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly, a department head wasn't supposed to be assigned for a post like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was just puzzled and didn't care much. But Prince Samatv felt tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoping it wasn't what he feared to be, he stepped forward with a smile. \"Prof Zara, did you come all the way here to wish us good luck? As expected of a department head! If you would, please call the person assigned to lead us into the lab. We're already running late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins popped up on Zara Woz's forehead and she gave one nasty glare at the Prince before walking into the space gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up and follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-06T07:58:50.957Z",1,"novelbin.me","e0c7b2b2cb4b9d89ad6b7db98fa926c94a23d810ebc6cc7199ccdc2243f2664f","divine-path-system-chapter-1378","divine-path-system-chapter-1376",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
