Chapter 13: Too Few Rewards? Raise the Stakes! Challenge All New Students! [Please Keep Reading!]
Right after Dean Xiao finished his passionate speech,
the seven Calabash Brothers and their 'Grandpa' walked onto the main stage under the gaze of thousands.
...
"Oh, it's him!"
Mu Ningjiao, seated in the student section, her gaze suddenly sharpened, landing on Wang Feng, who was at the very front of the group.
Although nearly a year had passed, she still clearly remembered that it was Wang Feng who had saved her from Mountain Man.
"Sister Mu, who is it?" Ai Tutu, noticing her unusual behavior, leaned over and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, just saw an acquaintance." Mu Ningjiao shook her head and did not explain further to Ai Tutu.
"Oh... Wait! It's that handsome guy who helped me chase away the ruffians!"
Ai Tutu's gaze quickly locked onto Wang Feng in the arena, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her tone full of delight.
"What?" Mu Ningjiao turned her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"It was that day! Didn't we agree to go pick out a birthday gift for Grandpa Mu? I told you about it, there was an unknown space system handsome guy who used telekinesis to twist a ruffian's hand! It's him, the one walking at the very front of the Fighting Arena now!"
Ai Tutu explained excitedly, her eyes sparkling with admiration, her voice filled with emotion.
"Such a coincidence?" Mu Ningjiao murmured softly, her gaze once again turning to Wang Feng in the arena.
...
Not far away, Ye Xin Xia, standing with her Healing System classmates, her gaze closely followed Wang Feng in the arena.
Her hands were gently clasped in front of her chest, her fingertips slightly tensed, her eyes full of tenderness, as she whispered, "Brother Wang Feng, go for it!"
...
When Wang Feng and the other seven stood in the center of the arena, Dean Xiao's tone shifted, and he raised his hand to point at them, his voice loud and strong:
"The first opponents you will face upon entering Pearl Institute are them! Defeat them, and you will be the protagonists of today!"
These words instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire Qing Dou Arena, and the eyes of all the new students became fervent, uniformly staring at Wang Feng and the others.
At this moment, in their eyes, Wang Feng and the other seven seemed to have become stepping stones, and they themselves were the true protagonists!
"So, who wants to go first?" Dean Xiao's gaze swept over the eight students below the resting area, his tone carrying a hint of expectation.
Mo Fan and the other seven's gazes all fell on Wang Feng.
After all, before the match, their department head, Jiang Yunming, had specifically entrusted the heavy responsibility to Wang Feng.
"Aren't you going to show off a bit first? Don't say I didn't warn you, if I go on stage, there probably won't be anything left for you." Wang Feng turned his head and asked the seven Calabash Brothers.
"Tch, who can't talk big? Since the director said this beast-fighting competition is up to you, then it's yours." Hai Dafu pouted, his words full of sarcasm and disdain.
The other Summoning new students also nodded in agreement, their faces full of dissatisfaction.
They had long been displeased with Wang Feng, this "airborne general."
Only Mo Fan had a bitter expression, wanting to speak but hesitating.
He did want to go on stage, after all, he knew that Wang Feng never spoke big words.
Since Wang Feng said there would be nothing left for them once he went on stage, then there probably really wouldn't be anything left for them.
It was a pity that his Ghost Wolf was still recovering from its injuries and couldn't fight.
"Alright, then I'm going up."
Wang Feng nodded, then strode towards the huge iron cage Fighting Arena.
Dean Xiao was somewhat surprised to see Wang Feng go first.
He had already heard from Jiang Yunming that Wang Feng possessed a Battle General Level level summoned beast.
Now that this "final boss" was appearing first, wouldn't it be a bit too bullying?
After reaching the 'iron cage' Fighting Arena, Wang Feng suddenly stopped, looked up at Dean Xiao on the platform, and asked loudly:
"Dean Xiao, before the beast-fighting begins, can I ask a few questions?"
Dean Xiao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then showed a look of interest, nodding, "Speak."
"Earlier, the Dean mentioned that if our Summoning couldn't meet the condition of defeating 100 people, then our Summoning resources would be divided among other departments. Isn't such a rule a bit unfair to us?" Wang Feng said.
Dean Xiao listened, smiled, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Then he slowly said, "Student Wang Feng, you are right, such a rule is indeed a bit unfair to you."
He paused, his tone suddenly becoming meaningful:
"However, after defeating one hundred people, there is actually a hidden rule—if you can defeat two hundred challengers, you can obtain a year's worth of resources for all the new students of this Qing Campus!"
"It's just that this condition is too harsh; since the founding of Pearl Institute, no one has ever achieved this feat, so it was not explicitly written out."
As soon as Dean Xiao's words fell, the entire Qing Dou Arena instantly erupted, discussions rising and falling like boiling water.
"Holy cow! All the new students' resources this year? How much would that be! If you really got it, wouldn't you just take off directly?"
"Did you top up too much? Are you blind and deaf?? Didn't you hear Dean Xiao say? Since the founding of the school, no one has ever met this condition!"
"Exactly, that's two hundred people! Twice as many as a hundred people! Do you think they're cabbages that you can just chop down?"
"Listening to your words is like listening to words."
"I bought a watch last year!"
.
Amidst the clamor, Dean Xiao raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, then looked at Wang Feng and asked, "Any more questions?"
Wang Feng smiled slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "No more questions, but... I'd like to ask, can we raise the stakes?"
As soon as his words fell, the entire Qing Dou Arena instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on him.
Even Dean Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, showing a hint of interest: "Oh? What stakes do you want to add?"
Wang Feng's lips curved into a slight smile, his voice clear and powerful, echoing throughout the Qing Dou Arena:
"Two hundred people is too few, how about we change it to all new students of the Qing Campus—as long as someone comes up to challenge, I will accept, with no upper limit!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue, and continued:
"Of course, the resources must also be changed. After defeating two hundred people and getting the resources for all new students of the academy, for every additional two hundred people defeated, an additional department's resources will be added."
"If no one dares to fight, then it will be based on four thousand people, and the corresponding resources will be supplemented!"
"Of course, if I am defeated by any new student during the challenge period, then my previous number of defeated people will be directly reset to zero, and at the same time—"
He said this, then pulled out a bank card from his pocket, held it in his hand, his tone carrying a hint of provocation: "I will also include a five million bonus!"
Wang Feng's voice exploded in the Qing Dou Arena like a thunderclap, carrying an indescribable magic, making all the teachers and students in the audience seem to have been hit by "Rock Demon's Eye - Petrification," falling into an eerie silence.
