The Conversation with Chen Yuan
“Fang Wei, I’m going to kill you!”
“Why are you so talkative?”
“It’s all because of you! My glorious image has been shattered in front of my juniors!”
The last video ended.
The entire school was silent for a while, and Fang Wei no longer had any objections. One skill killed more than half of the school’s third-year and fourth-year experts. If this did not prove Lu Benwei’s strength, then Fang Wei was stupid.
When Chen Yuan announced the end of the meeting, the crowd could no longer hide their anger and threatened to settle the score with Fang Wei.
Fang Wei’s eyes were empty, and his limbs were weak as he lay on the ground.
“I was thinking of dueling with Lu Benwei,” Fang Wei said, “Now it seems that I was too naive.”
On the other side, Lu Benwei was about to leave the podium when Chen Yuan stopped him.
“Lu Benwei, take a break. Come to my office with Zhou Qingfeng in half an hour.”
Lu Benwei was slightly stunned, and his eyes subconsciously met Zhou Qingfeng’s. The other party’s expression was the same as his.
Shrugging his shoulders, Lu Benwei walked down the stage.
“Brother Lu, you’re so handsome!”
As soon as he got off the stage, Dugu, Qian Hai, and Gu Xuan, the three friends that Lu Benwei made in the spirit hunt secret realm, came over.
“You didn’t see Fang Wei’s expression at the end. It was so funny.”
“What’s this called? This is slapping his own mouth. It’s the most fatal!”
Lu Benwei waved his hand. “Alright, alright. Are you guys looking for me?”
Dugu and the other two looked at each other, and then laughed in embarrassment.
“Brother Lu, I know that you might not think highly of our strength, but when you go to the tournament, can you help us get three tickets to the Grand Finals? We want to see your battle with the evildoers from other schools at the end.”
action Lu Benwei laughed. “There’s still a long time to go. Are you so sure that I can make it to the finals?”
“We all believe in your strength.”
“Alright, I’ll think of a way to get a few.”
With that, the three of them left happily.
At this moment, Chu Yan walked over with Zhao Xiaoqi. “Annoying fellow, do you want to have dinner with us? We’ll treat you to hotpot.”
Lu Benwei was about to agree, but he suddenly frowned. “Miss Chu Yan wants to treat me to hotpot? Tell me, what do you want from me?” Lu Benwei asked.
Chu Yan chuckled, flashing her bright little canine teeth.
“It’s us who want to join your team to participate in the National Class Tournament.”
Lu Benwei fell into deep thought. From the moment he found out that he was one of the 20 teams, he already had the idea of inviting Chu Yan. However, Chu Yan wanted to bring along Zhao Xiaoqi.
Lu Benwei pondered for a moment and said, “Oh, I thought it was a big deal. Of course, you can.”
Zhao Xiaoqi heard this and smiled. “Thank you, Lu Benwei. I won’t say you’re a black-hearted boss behind your back anymore.”
“Black-hearted boss? How am I black-hearted?” Lu Benwei was stunned.
“Handing over all the club’s affairs to Zhao Xiaoqi and being the hands-off manager without paying a single cent, isn’t that a black-hearted boss?” Chu Yan clenched her fist and said.
“I’ll do it right away.” Lu Benwei laughed dryly. “I’ll find you another assistant after this.”
Lu Benwei changed the topic and said, “By the way, you guys go and eat first. I need to see the principal.”
“Alright, then we won’t wait for you.” The two girls agreed.
…
Ten minutes later, Lu Benwei and Zhou Qingfeng appeared in Chen Yuan’s office as promised.
Chen Yuan smiled and said to Zhou Qingfeng, “Qingfeng, you’re so early. I usually come half an hour later to find you.”
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said, “Mr. Principal, I was always on a mission when you came to look for me before this, so it’s inevitable that I wouldn’t make it in time.”
Chen Yuan waved his hand and smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s get back to the main topic. Have you two decided on your team members?”
“I’ve decided,” the two of them said in unison.
“Oh? So fast?” Chen Yuan’s expression was a little surprised. “Can you tell me who they are?”
Zhou Qingfeng muttered to himself for a moment before he named his team members.
There was a total of three of them, and all of them were the most powerful people in the Heavenly God Temple.
Chen Yuan frowned and said, “Qingfeng, I remember that you have a good relationship with Fang Wei, right? You two were in the same dormitory when you first entered the school, but you moved out later.”
Zhou Qingfeng nodded.
“The National Class Tournament rules state that the team can have a minimum of four and a maximum of five. Bring him along, he’s very strong.”
Zhou Qingfeng nodded.
“How about you, Lu Benwei?”
“Other than me, I’ve confirmed two other people,” Lu Benwei responded.
“Let me guess. Chu Yan and Zhao Xiaoqi?” Chen Yuan laughed. “You’re still missing one. I’ll give you a candidate. How about Lin Feng?”
Lu Benwei had just met Lin Feng in his first year of university, and his strength was also extraordinary. If Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were the first and second freshmen, then Lin Feng was the third.
Other than that, Lin Feng was also Chu Yan’s loyal lackey. He joined the God Slayer’s Club and claimed that he would suppress Lu Benwei in all aspects. However, the gap between them was getting bigger.
“I’ll consider it.” Lu Benwei nodded.
“Mr. Principal, this isn’t the real reason you called us here, is it?” Zhou Qingfeng interrupted.
“You’re right.”
A second ago, Chen Yuan’s face was kind, but now his face was extremely gloomy.
“I just want to know what rank you two will get.”
Lu Benwei and Zhou Qingfeng fell silent. They all knew that the reason for the decline of Zhejiang Hunter University was the start of the National Class Tournament.
In the beginning, Zhejiang Hunter University was pushed out of the top eight by a first-class A-level hunter university and was ranked last among the nine hunter universities. Later on, the ranking dropped more and more seriously year after year. Last year, the university almost lost its place in the top 16.
In the past few years, Zhejiang Hunter University had been criticized by many people. The pressure from the higher-ups, the ridicule from the same industry, and the abuse from the people below were increasing.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan sighed. As the principal, it was hard for him to shirk responsibility for the decline in strength every year. However, there were some things that he could not decide.
“So, I want the two of you to give me a guarantee,” Chen Yuan suddenly said, “This year, your team must get a ranking for me.”
