CHAPTER 1192: CHAPTER 1202: CONSPIRACY!

And the story of Tang Zhong competing with Xiang Nan over guns quickly spread around Earth Guard.

Those who returned from their missions were all shocked by this event.

"No way, I’ve just been away for a few days and such a big thing happened. But who is Tang Zhong? I’ve never heard of him!"

"Exactly, isn’t Xiang Nan the champion of Earth Guard’s gun competition? He would lose!"

More people felt Xiang Nan’s loss was somewhat absurd, but they were more curious about who Tang Zhong was.

When they learned that Tang Zhong was just a new recruit who joined Earth Guard two months ago, everyone was even more shocked.

"No way... that’s impossible!"

"Who is this guy? I want to meet him!"

Especially the female soldiers of Earth Guard, who were eager to see Tang Zhong. In the cosmos, women admire the strong, especially when he’s a young, attractive man; they are even more captivated!

Many women who previously fancied Xiang Nan have now deserted him and become fans of Tang Zhong.

With just one gun competition, Xiang Nan’s face was greatly lost.

This world respects the powerful!

More importantly, Tang Zhong is much more handsome than Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan was becoming increasingly displeased.

In a Galactic Guard bar,

Xiang Nan ordered a couple of bottles of wine and started drinking!

There are all sorts of entertainment venues within Galactic Guard!

Xiang Nan lifted his head and took a big gulp, already feeling dizzy: "Damn Tang Zhong, I definitely won’t let you off!"

"When the chance comes, I’ll make you look bad!"

That day he was terrified, which was truly embarrassing.

He was sitting by the bar counter.

Suddenly, someone sat down next to him, and if you looked closely, you’d find that it was Huang Xiang, smiling with a tall glass, sitting beside Xiang Nan.

This bar is originally a part of Galactic Guard, accessible to all Five Guards.

"Brother Xiang, what’s up with you? Drinking so much, aren’t you training tomorrow?" Huang Xiang said with a smile, gently swirling the glass in his hand, making the red wine inside sway.

Xiang Nan turned and saw Huang Xiang, his brow furrowing: "Huang Xiang?"

"Yes, it’s me!" Huang Xiang replied smiling.

Huang Xiang is the captain of Water Guard, widely recognized, and Xiang Nan is no exception, as they both joined Galactic Guard in the same year.

"What are you doing here?" Xiang Nan asked.

"I came to find you, of course, for a reason. You know Tang Zhong, right?" Huang Xiang started.

Actually, he came to the bar after hearing that Xiang Nan was here!

"Don’t mention that name in front of me!" Upon hearing that, Xiang Nan’s expression turned ugly: "Are you here to mock me?"

"No, no... I definitely am not. I’m here to discuss something with you!" Huang Xiang replied.

"Discuss? You’re from Water Guard, I’m from Earth Guard, there’s nothing that intersects. What is there to discuss?" Xiang Nan said.

"I assume you wish for Tang Zhong to die, right?" Huang Xiang said coldly.

Xiang Nan, upon hearing this, gritted his teeth in anger: "I wish he were dead right now!"

"I also want him dead, so we can join forces to kill him!" Huang Xiang said with a sneer.

"Is it possible?" Xiang Nan asked quickly.

"Of course, you and I together, what can’t we accomplish?" Huang Xiang sneered.

To be honest, Xiang Nan was indeed tempted by what he was hearing; he really wanted Tang Zhong dead. But soon, he doubted it, shaking his head: "Tang Zhong is always in Earth Guard; we have no chance to approach him, how can we kill him?"

"If he always stays in Earth Guard, of course, we can’t kill him. But what if he leaves? Don’t forget, in a month, the soldiers of the Five Guards will go to Python Extinguishing Pond for a trial. That would be the perfect opportunity!" Huang Xiang explained.

Xiang Nan’s eyes lit up: "You mean the Python Extermination Pool Trial, but are you sure Tang Zhong can participate in it? He just joined as a regular soldier and doesn’t seem to qualify!"

"No, he qualifies. You should know that Tang Zhong now doesn’t hold the rank of a regular soldier anymore!" Huang Xiang stated.

"What rank is he? I saw him moving into our regular soldiers’ dormitory recently, how could he not be?" Xiang Nan was surprised.

"Actually, Tang Zhong is now at the rank of a deputy captain, but Earth Guard has kept this hidden!" Huang Xiang said. Having completed that A-level mission, Tang Zhong’s rank would certainly be promoted, but Huang Xiang wouldn’t tell Xiang Nan about Tang Zhong defeating the Hell Skeleton Soldiers.

Xiang Nan is the type who’s cowardly and bullies the weak. If he knew the truth, whether he would dare confront Tang Zhong is uncertain!

"I can’t believe this, if that’s the case, he can join the Python Extermination Pool Trial. But if Tang Zhong participates, how do we deal with him?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Simple, you and I will join forces, lure him to a deserted place, and kill him. We’ll ensure he doesn’t return, but attracting Tang Zhong to a deserted spot requires your help!" Huang Xiang said.

"No problem, such a small task!" Xiang Nan said excitedly, raising his glass: "Come, brother, let’s drink!"

Huang Xiang also raised his tall glass, smiling broadly, but in his heart thinking solely of matters concerning Tang Zhong: "Damn guy, at the Python Extinguishing Pond, let’s see how you die!"

In fact, after Huang Xiang left that day, he thought of many ways to tackle Tang Zhong, but none were effective because he couldn’t confront Tang Zhong directly. After a chance encounter with Xiang Nan and learning of their conflict, he knew what to do, leading to today’s conversation.

Meanwhile, Tang Zhong had become a regular soldier.

During this period, Liu Tian continuously sought Tang Zhong.

Offering to help Tang Zhong train, saying that now Tang Zhong, with Meteorite Level strength, must improve his power!

Inside the training room,

Liu Tian impatiently explained to Tang Zhong: "You must breathe now; when we elevate our training level, it fuses with cosmic energy. The more energy you merge with, the stronger you become!"

Tang Zhong listened intently, understanding nothing. These were the very points the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers had taught him. To avoid exposing himself, he listened attentively again!

Liu Tian explained a bit more, and Tang Zhong asked a few token questions.

Finally, Liu Tian stood up: "Alright, that’s all for today!"

"Thank you, senior sister!" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"Your current power is too weak, so you must train quickly!" Liu Tian added.

Liu Tian was correct, and Tang Zhong knew it well; though the Giant Dragon Avatar was powerful, this human avatar’s power was indeed too weak.

"Yes, senior sister!" Tang Zhong replied.

After a moment of thought, Liu Tian concluded: "No, you must also use external means, come, let’s go to Lingbao Pavilion to have a look!"
