The Undying Mecha Emperor

If I only aimed to pass the test, I would definitely just take the easy way out and jog my way up with the rest of the kids. But I needed to defeat the Lin Family heir! If not, I wouldn't have bacon for the rest of the year!

But still, Andrew had generously invited me to join their group when I was alone and had no idea what the test would be. To leave them then after knowing that I could ace the test by myself would be a despicable act.

I sighed deeply and prepared to say goodbye to my bacons.

"Justin, you should go ahead first." Andrew said.

"What? No, we're a group. We should stick together." I said firmly.

"No, you're destined to do well in this test." Andrew shook his head. "I'll be damned if I become the obstacle of the brightest rising star of our generation. If you value our friendship, then you should listen to me and go."

I frowned lightly and considered his words silently.

"It's not betrayal brother Justin." Kenny said with a smile. "We're not suffering from any loss with your departure. And if we don't let you go and achieve your highest potential, then WE would be the ones betraying you."

"You should go, brother Justin." Fey and Sera said almost at the same time.

"Hmmm." Tess nodded in agreement.

"Well in that case, I'll go ahead first." I said reluctantly, but also with an increasing sense of excitement.

"Maybe it's not goodbye after all, dearest bacons!" My heart sang.

"No problems, Brother Justin! You've already done enough. See you at the top!" Andrew promptly replied.

"See you at the top!" The rest said.

I nodded at them, swerved sharply to my right and began to make my way towards the steeper slope.

By the time I reached the rocky slope slanted at a dangerous sixty degrees, I realized that quite a few of the ten year old kids had the same idea as me. There were at least ten kids ahead of me and another twenty behind me.

If you were a bad climber, jogging up the gentle slope would be a much better and faster option. However, if you were a good climber, climbing up the steep slope would save you at least an hour's worth of climbing.

I was not a good climber in terms of techniques. Heck, I had NO techniques.

But I was by far the strongest person in the entire mountain. And by merit of that fact alone, I was THE best climber there.

I got on all fours on that steep 60-degree slope and began to make my way up.

Within a few seconds, my near superhuman physique allowed me to catch up to the first group ahead of me.

"See ya guys up top!" I called out in a friendly voice as I overtook them from the side.

"F*** you and your whole family!" The lead boy of the group cursed at me.

I was aghast. What's with the unwarranted hostility?

I sighed and ignored them.

"Jealousy is such a vile poison for the soul." I lamented sadly.

Very soon, the next group appeared in front of me.

"See you guys up top!" I called out in a friendly voice once more and smiled at the lead girl.

"Shut your dirty mouth you freaking moron!" She cursed at me vehemently.

I flinched at her vicious words and left the second jealous group behind quickly.

After two full minutes, I finally caught up to another group. They were resting as best they could on such a steep slope. Thankfully, there were many large rocks all around, so they could at least lean on those rocks to rest their muscles and catch their breath.

It was the Wang family group.

"Hey! What's up?" I called out excitedly. Surely the Wang Family group wouldn't curse me like the other two nameless groups?

One of the twins glanced my way and then smiled beautifully. "Hey there! Fancy seeing you here. You must be a pretty good climber to be able to catch up to us!"

"Ha ha ha. Not so much. I was just lucky to be born slightly stronger than the others." I said half humbly and half proudly.

"You're definitely much stronger than you look." The second twin looked at me in marvel. "Justin, right? I am Elise Wang. My twin sister is Eliana Wang."

"Nice to meet you!" I greeted them politely.

"Which organization are you from?" Eliana Wang asked me curiously as she beckoned me to join their group.

"I am from the White Tiger Hunters." I replied as I made my way closer to them.

"Ah. I see." Eliana Wang said.

But at that moment I felt that the aura around her and Elise Wang had chilled considerably.

"They know that the White Tiger Hunters belong to the Whitefrost Clan!" I realized and froze.

The two girls stared at me and realized that I knew that they knew too.

For a moment, we stared at each other, gauging and considering. Finally, the girls snapped out of any delusions of grandeur on their part and simply accepted reality.

There was nothing that they could do to me. In fact, it was the other way around. If I wanted to, I could kill them all right there and then.

Elise Wang sighed deeply with regret. "Just go then."

However, I remained silent and continued to stare at them as I considered my options. Should I attack them so that they would not threaten my pursuit for first place in this exam? I wondered.

​ Wait a minute. Elise WANG?

"Hey, is your mom Jessical Wang?" I asked them.

The two girls nodded lightly and frowned. "Why is this dumbo asking such an obvious question?" Their expressions seemed to say.

I sighed. Their mom was beyond scary. She even dared to call the old man and scream at him and call him names.

If she dared to do that to the crazy old man, she would definitely have no qualms carving ME up into pieces if I pissed her off.

There was no way I'm doing anything to their daughters!
