Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 269 Exam Results

For the next few days, Lin Yue was filled with anxiety. Finally, the day arrived when the results would be announced.

Lin Yue waited anxiously for the results to be announced, filled with both anticipation and trepidation. Finally, the day arrived. Lin Yue's palms were sweating with nervousness as she and Li Yuetian walked towards the ranking list.

Lin Yue's eyes searched the list eagerly, and when she saw the number after her name, she was overjoyed—24th!

"Great! I met the target!" She was so excited she almost jumped up, grabbing Li Yuetian's arm. "Look! I did it! 24th place! Mid-range in the midterm exams!"

Li Yuetian was also infected by her emotions, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips: "Really! Congratulations! All your hard work these past few days has finally paid off." Lin Yue knew that this was not only an improvement in her grades, but also proof of her relentless studying during this period. Especially on the day of the English exam, she risked going to take the exam; although she missed the listening section, she clearly performed well in the written part.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and instead revealed a bright smile: "Come on! I'll treat you to dinner today! It's a promise, and you were number one again! You did so well, we have to celebrate!" Li Yuetian was taken aback, then his eyebrows curved into crescents: "You said it, so I'll enjoy it."

Lin Yue's steps were light as if she were walking on clouds. Li Yuetian secretly glanced at her; Lin Yue was looking down at her phone, checking restaurants, the sunlight softening the contours of her profile.

He suddenly felt that this scene was more gratifying than any achievement. The two arrived at a well-regarded Western restaurant, its ambiance elegant and tranquil. Li Yuetian teased her deliberately, "Since Lin Dacai is treating, this meal must include steak and red wine?"

Lin Yue waved her hand generously, "Of course! Order whatever you want, you're my honored guest today!" She flipped open the menu and quickly ordered two filet mignon steaks, foie gras, and a bottle of sparkling wine. But Li Yuetian's fingertip paused slightly on the "price" column—sure enough, it was a bit too expensive. Had he really gone too far?

While waiting for the food, Li Yuetian suddenly said seriously, "Lin Yue, actually, you've improved faster than I imagined. Although there have been setbacks, you've really worked hard."

Lin Yue stirred the lemonade in her glass, a proud smile playing on her lips. "Of course." She paused, then added, "Besides... I can't lose this kind of bet, right?" Li Yuetian chuckled, his eyes warm. "Yes, it seems I won our bet."

Lin Yue's eyes widened instantly: "What? I clearly met the standard! The bet was to be in the middle of the class in the midterm exam, and now I'm 24th, I won!" Li Yuetian smiled slyly: "But don't forget, in your guarantee during winter break you wrote 'midterm exam,' but you didn't say which one or how many. So strictly speaking, you still have several midterm exams to go."

Lin Yue was speechless for a moment before she realized what was happening. She slammed her hand on the table in anger, "Li Yuetian! You're cheating! When did you become so wicked?" This guy is getting worse and worse! Actually, if Li Yuetian had explained things clearly earlier, she would have agreed. Having someone supervise your studies definitely makes things much more efficient.

Li Yuetian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I was just joking. You really did it, how could I really..." Before he could finish speaking, the waiter came over with the food, easing the awkwardness.

When the steak was served, Lin Yue deliberately cut off a large piece and stuffed it into her mouth, saying indistinctly, "Eat quickly, you still have extra martial arts practice to do!"

Li Yuetian smiled and agreed, "Okay, you need to eat well to have energy." The two chatted as they ate, talking about their studies and future goals. Li Yuetian mentioned that he wanted to get into a top university and then join the Knights Association.

"And you?" Li Yuetian asked.

Lin Yue rarely thought about what she would do in the future.

She's a girl. Will she continue her studies, or will she marry and have children like most women?

Whatever it may be, it's still quite far removed from her current situation. What she cares about right now is the immediate crisis.

To her now, Slug is no different from any other creature on the street. But Oma Zi-O's occasional resurrection is a thorn in her side.

Although she was confident she could defeat him each time she revived, anyone else who faced Oma would be instantly killed.

But when will this end? The existence of Oma Zi-O cannot be told to anyone. The more people who know about him, the faster he will recover after his resurrection. Because the Heavenly Emperor and Oma Zi-O had to work together to barely erase a trace of Oma Zi-O's memory, even Oma herself doesn't know. Now, she has to bear this pressure alone.

Although the Heavenly Dao has said that the Heavenly Dao Emperor's power is entirely within her, and she can live as long as she wants, what if one day she really dies, or is killed by him when he is resurrected during a demonic resurrection? Who can deal with him? What will happen to the people she cares about?

Lin Yue was lost in thought when Li Yuetian gently called to her from across the table, "Lin Yue? What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yue snapped out of her reverie and forced a smile: "It's nothing. I was just thinking that I definitely need to get into a good university." But she knew in her heart that her future might be a never-ending battle.

………………

Outside the barrier lies the palace of the alien imperial riders.

Slu was enjoying a barbecue in the palace when suddenly a voice rang in his mind.

"Slu, how's your goal coming along?"

"Yo, Lord Oma!" Slu stopped what he was doing and replied respectfully, "What brings you to see me today?"

"Stop being so cheeky!" Oma Zi-O's voice carried a hint of impatience: "You seem to be having a lot of free time, even giving yourself some kind of title like Decade King? The only task I gave you was to unify all the monsters! Have you accomplished that?"

Slu scratched his head and said with a grin, "Lord Oma, this can't be rushed. Those weirdos aren't so easy to unify, but I've been working on it."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're doing. All you do is eat, drink, and have fun. I didn't create you to waste your life! If you keep going like this, don't blame me for taking your life."

Upon hearing this, Slu immediately sat up straight, his smile vanishing: "My lord, I was wrong, I'll take care of it right away. I've already started by targeting those small groups of strange individuals, letting them gradually expand my influence, then I'll surround the larger forces, and finally seize them by force!"

Oma Zi-O was silent for a moment, then said, "I hope you can keep your word as soon as possible. If you disappoint me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Yes, sir! I will do my best." Slu quickly assured him. Once the energy of Oma Zi-O had dissipated from his mind, Slu curled his lip: "Tch, stop pretending! What's the use of being so strong? You're still sealed away and can't get out..."

Even so, Slu didn't slack off much. Now he had quite a few weirdos under his command, so why rush things? He picked up the barbecue again. What's wrong with weirdos? Can't weirdos enjoy life?

As for what will happen if the demon actually appears one day? It's not like he hasn't done it; he's already prepared all sorts of excuses.

Slu was eating barbecue when a commotion suddenly broke out outside the palace. "What's going on?" Slu frowned, put down his barbecue, and stood up. He had just reached the palace entrance when he saw a group of strange men rushing in in a panic. "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Otherworldly Gods have betrayed us!" one of the strange men exclaimed in terror.

Upon hearing this, Slu cursed angrily, "Damn Otherworldly Gods! I knew they were unruly!" "How dare they! How many of them are still following us?" Slu's eyes widened in fury.

"Sir, most of them went with them, and now... only us Shocker combatants are left." The man lowered his head, his voice trembling.

Enraged, Slu kicked over a nearby table: "You bunch of traitors! You guard the palace, I'll be right back!"

At this moment, the Otherworldly race had already gathered not far away. The leader of the Otherworldly gods coldly looked at Slu: "Slu, we followed you because we thought you could lead us to invade humanity and destroy the Kamen Riders! But what about you? You've been hesitant to make a decision!"

Slu sneered, "You? I've already said it! We haven't subdued all the monster factions yet, and there are still many monsters who haven't submitted. We're not strong enough to fight them!"

"Bah!" the Otherworldly God cursed, "You proclaimed yourself the Emperor Knight King and even created the position of Emperor Knight Queen! Don't think I don't know that you reserved this position for a human! You've been colluding with humans for a long time!"
