Chapter 237: Intense Debate! Song Qiuyun

In the national university league, Mo University has won the championship for most of the time.

Last year's runner-up position has left Mo University students with a bitter taste, eager to reclaim the championship as soon as possible.

Therefore, Mo University students' attention to this year's university league is even higher than last year's.

But what they never expected was that this year's team captain would be a first-year freshman.

Thus, after the roster was announced, intense discussions erupted all over campus.

"Xu Jingming participating in the competition is naturally fine, but making him captain—isn't that too reckless?"

"Xu Jingming is still just a freshman; in my opinion, it's best to let the senior Kong Shi take the role."

"Kong Shi is a seasoned powerhouse; comparatively, he's more stable."

"I have no objection to Xu Jingming being captain next year, but this year is truly too hasty."

"......"

During the Mandate Church mission before winter break, Xu Jingming surpassed Kong Shi to claim first place on the Honor Board, truly shining brightly.

But Kong Shi is a fourth-year senior whose performance at Mo University over the years has been visible to all.

Xu Jingming is merely a rising first-year freshman, comparatively far more immature.

Of course,

most importantly, during the Mandate Church mission, Kong Shi, known as "Iron Bear," was at Fourth Tier Lower.

And just over ten days ago, Kong Shi broke through Fourth Tier Lower into Fourth Tier Middle.

So in their view, Kong Shi is now stronger in power and richer in experience.

If not him, then who should be captain?

Where there is opposition, there is support.

Xu Jingming's astonishing rise has already won him a large group of staunch supporters at Mo University.

They are also speaking up in support of Xu Jingming:

"I, Lei Di, possess an S-class ability—enough to suppress everything; being captain is nothing but simple."

"Exactly! So what if Iron Bear advanced to Fourth Tier Middle? I, Lei Di, could crush him with one finger!"

"Heh, this year's Jing University roster is equally formidable; compared to Iron Bear, I still have more faith in Lei Di."

"......"

Mo University, Jin University, and Jing University—these three top-tier universities.

Located in different regions of the Great Xia map, separated by at least hundreds of kilometers.

Yet thanks to the convenience of the internet, everyone knows roughly which strong students each top university has.

Jin University needs no elaboration—it has always been at the bottom among the three top universities, posing little threat.

But Jing University is different; whether due to long-standing second-place status, it has exploded in strength over the past two years.

Not only did it win the league championship last year, but this year it has cultivated a monstrous student at Fourth Tier Upper.

So in many people's eyes, what does it matter that Kong Shi broke into Fourth Tier Middle?

In individual events, he likely still cannot defeat Jing University's Fourth Tier Upper.

In that case, why not let Xu Jingming try?

After all, over the past half year, they have witnessed too many miracles from Xu Jingming.

Thus, after the roster announcement, the entire campus nearly split into two factions over the captaincy issue.

One faction is conservative, arguing that the newly promoted Fourth Tier Middle Kong Shi should be captain.

The other is radical, arguing that Xu Jingming, with his S-class ability and knack for miracles, should be captain.

The two factions argue fiercely on the university website and student forums.

Even some alumni have joined in.

"Has Xu Jingming's influence reached this level already?"

In a training room, Li Chengzhi, former provincial top scorer from Qinghai, browsed the student forum with a complex expression.

They were both first-year freshmen, yet Xu Jingming had already left them far behind.

Now he is to represent Mo University as captain in this nationally watched competition.

"People really can't be compared," Li Chengzhi shook his head.

When Xu Jingming, at Second Tier Upper, earned the title of top freshman,

he knew this was a man destined to shine brightly and leave his name in history.

And such a person is simply beyond comparison.

Recalling his provocation during the freshman competition, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Forget it—the more I think, the worse I feel. Better get back to training."

As Li Chengzhi sighed, hundreds more comments flooded the forum.

He simply turned off his phone and returned to his cultivation.

This scene wasn't unique to Li Chengzhi—it happened to many other first-year students as well.

They couldn't help but feel that Xu Jingming seemed to exist in an entirely different world from them...

"Qiuyun, your guy is getting a lot of attention right now."

Dormitory Zone 3, Villa No. 12.

Song Qiuyun and her roommate Qi Dongxia had already returned; Qi Dongxia, scrolling through news on her phone, teased her.

"What do you mean 'my guy'? We haven't even gotten engaged yet."

Song Qiuyun knew exactly who Qi Dongxia meant, her face flushing as she pouted.

"No way!"

Qi Dongxia widened her eyes. "Didn't you go to the Thunder Secret Realm to find him during New Year's Eve?

A lone man and woman alone in a room—and you still didn't win him over?"

Qi Dongxia glanced instinctively at Song Qiuyun.

Clear, large eyes, a straight, delicate nose, lips as rosy and dewy as a rose.

Song Qiuyun's beauty was undeniably radiant and alluring.

Add to that her outstanding bust and slightly curvy, long legs.

Who wouldn't be dazzled?

Even she, another girl, sometimes couldn't resist wanting to snuggle up to Song Qiuyun—how could Xu Jingming resist?

Qi Dongxia was utterly baffled.

Could it be that Xu Jingming didn't like women, but preferred men?

Just as she felt a chill at the thought, Song Qiuyun beside her shook her head gently:

"I didn't go alone that time—Jiang Xuejie came with me."

"Jiang Xuejie? My goodness, why did you bring her to the Thunder Secret Realm?

Don't you realize she has feelings for Xu Jingming just like you do?" Qi Dongxia couldn't help asking.

"I realized it, but I felt Jiang Xuejie is a good person; leaving her out made me feel like I was doing something wrong..."

Song Qiuyun whispered.

"Romance is inherently selfish. If you want Xu Jingming, you must exclude Jiang Xuejie—do you understand?"

Qi Dongxia sighed in frustration.

How could this talented beauty from Sichuan be so naive about love?

Yet Song Qiuyun's next sentence made her eyes widen in shock:

"It's fine—I don't mind sharing him with Jiang Xuejie."

"Whoa! Qiuyun, you're that generous?"

Qi Dongxia sucked in a breath, utterly astonished by such an idea.

You're the proudest prodigy of Sichuan, a goddess to countless people—how could you think like this?

"It's not that I'm generous; I just know with his pace of progress, he'll surely have more than one woman someday."

Song Qiuyun shook her head softly, "So why not choose someone I already know? That way, I can accept it a little easier."

Indeed,

Xu Jingming's progress was simply too fast.

So fast that she had exhausted every effort yet still couldn't keep up—instead, she was left far behind.

Take the upcoming national university league—it's something she might only encounter in her third or fourth year.

"Alright, I give up," Qi Dongxia sighed, rubbing her forehead.

But thinking carefully, someone with Xu Jingming's rare S-class ability truly couldn't have only one woman.

Even the state would encourage him to have more.

"But it's still too early to say this—I haven't even won over Jiang Xuejie or Xu Jingming yet," Song Qiuyun said helplessly.

She felt that in front of Xu Jingming, she seemed to have lost all her charm.

"True."

Qi Dongxia nodded, paused, then added:

"But whether it's you or Jiang Xuejie, you'd better hurry up.

Right now, Xu Jingming is only famous within Mo University.

After the university league ends, the whole nation—and perhaps the entire world—will know of him."

At that time, there may well be girls more outstanding than you who will approach Xu Jingming.

Song Qiuyun, from the Song family of Sichuan Province, indeed has powerful backing, but there are even stronger Ninth-Stage Martial Saint clans.

For these clans, finding a few young, beautiful descendants is incredibly easy.

"Girls more outstanding than us?"

Song Qiuyun paused slightly, her pearl-like teeth gently biting her red lips; after a long while, she seemed to make up her mind:

"Indeed, we must seize the time..."
