Chapter 146: A Towering Figure, the Bitterness of the Crowd

"Teacher Zheng, you should step out and say something; was this dungeon cutting corners during its construction?"

"Or perhaps, was this dungeon insufficiently prepared during its planning phase?"

"This is a new Unit Plane dungeon constructed just this year, and it was cleared just like that?"

The teacher who had previously questioned Zheng Youwang about leaking the questions once again aimed his spear at him.

A so-called Unit Plane can also be understood as a one-time use.

That is to say, as long as someone clears the highest difficulty, this dungeon will disappear permanently.

And from the time this Unit Plane dungeon was built to the time it was cleared, less than a month had passed.

Zheng Youwang could not help but feel his scalp tingle.

Although he understood that Zhou Chu and Zhou Li were not weak, they shouldn't be strong enough to clear this Nightmare-grade Unit Plane dungeon.

One must know, this dungeon was personally planned by Principal Yu for ten years, and finally, it was a new dungeon constructed after he spent two years building it.

It was officially put into operation today.

Unexpectedly, twelve full years of preparation and investment were actually cleared by these two people.

To tell the truth, at this moment, Zheng Youwang's heart was extremely complicated.

As students of his own department, it was indeed a happy thing that Zhou Chu and Zhou Li could clear the dungeon.

But thinking again that this was a dungeon built with twelve years of hard work, yet it was broken through so easily, it was indeed a bit hard to accept.

"Are you doubting me, or are you doubting Principal Yu?"

Zheng Youwang frowned deeply, his heart feeling as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned.

Although he felt helpless in his heart at this moment, facing the questioning of others, he still felt a trace of stifled anger.

Just as that teacher wanted to say something more, Xing Wanying hurriedly came up to smooth things over: "Alright, Teacher Zheng Youwang has always been a good teacher who is conscientious and meticulous in his teaching."

"And he is also the most authoritative dungeon expert in our entire Shenxia regarding dungeon construction."

"Almost thirty percent or more of the dungeons in the school came from Teacher Zheng's hands, so we cannot doubt an authority because of this matter."

"Principal Yu often urges at teacher meetings not to add personal emotions to work."

"This time, it only shows that the two students, Zhou Chu and Zhou Li, are excellent enough, which is a good thing for Shenxia University."

Actually, Xing Wanying is just that kind of person: outspoken and daring to act.

She had seen that teacher target Zheng Youwang to his face more than once.

Therefore, facing such injustice, Xing Wanying really couldn't stand it, which is why she stood up to speak out for Zheng Youwang.

As the dungeon clearers, Zhou Chu and Li Er were the last to be teleported out of the dungeon.

The fifty-plus freshmen and teachers from various departments present fixed their gazes on the two of them; in those gazes, there was curiosity, amazement, and also a hint of scrutiny.

Xing Wanying walked over with a face full of smiles, punched Zhou Chu in the chest, and said: "Not bad, kid. The efficiency is indeed very high; you are worthy of being the person my father took a fancy to."

Immediately after, her gaze swept over Li Er a few times, and she leaned into Zhou Chu's ear and whispered: "I couldn't tell, you actually have such a beautiful cousin."

"Even a woman like me feels jealous just looking at her."

At the same time, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

It's a good thing this girl is Zhou Chu's sister, otherwise, she might really have had no chance.

Finally, this year's freshman dungeon exploration class came to a successful conclusion.

Looking at the two people who were basking in glory, Shigu Sun felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Shenxia has vast land and abundant resources, a wide territory, and its talents are hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Previously, his vision was indeed narrow, which led to the current situation.

He had intended to form a group to crash the party, but in the end, the three of them were smashed to pieces instead; it could be described as extremely wretched.

But this does not mean Shigu Sun admitted defeat.

He decided to work even harder next, using all his strength to catch up to this Shenxia genius.

Shigu Sun thought this way because he still didn't know enough about Zhou Chu.

Conversely, He Muxue, Chen Bo, and others who knew Zhou Chu felt that the gap between them and the other party seemed to be getting wider and wider.

Chen Bo looked at Zhou Chu from afar and suddenly felt that this person's figure had become so big, so big.

Zhou Chu was no longer the soft persimmon from before who would not make a sound even when bullied by others.

It was as if he had been injected with some kind of Divine Power overnight, growing rapidly and leaving all of them far behind.

Injected with Divine Power?

What kind of nonsense is that?

Where in this world is there any Divine Power?

Chen Bo felt that it was because he thought too highly of Zhou Chu that he had such thoughts in his heart.

To tell the truth, he was actually quite unwilling in his heart.

But what could he do if he was unwilling? He could only endure it silently.

After all, the other person could clear a Nightmare-grade dungeon.

While he himself would constantly doubt life in a Nightmare-grade dungeon.

He Muxue, who had always decided to distance herself from Zhou Chu because of the words on that note, also felt a wave of loneliness in her heart.

Under the constraints of family tradition, she and Zhou Chu, people who could never have been connected, were brought together.

Even making the other party her fiancé.

He Muxue couldn't understand why she had to go to the front line to find Zhou Chu in the first place.

To put it bluntly, wasn't it because of the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker?

In fact, subconsciously, He Muxue had already regarded Zhou Chu as her fiancé, only she didn't know it herself.

But in Zhou Chu's heart, does he have her, this fiancée?

He Muxue was not sure.

Probably not.

At this moment, Zhou Chu was no longer someone she could look up to.

Even if her family was some prestigious clan, she reckoned that in the future, they would not even be regarded by him.

On the contrary, he would become a target of attention for many great families, major guilds, and even the Shenxia authorities.

He Muxue could not help but bite her lip.

Perhaps, distancing themselves from each other would be for the best.

The teachers and students gradually dispersed.

Zhou Chu secretly took stock of his gains from this Copy in his heart.

To be honest, the pickings from this freshman Copy could only be described as mediocre; the greatest gain was actually allowing Li Er's strength to improve to a certain extent.

At the same time, it also gave her the ability to repair the Psionic Core, and gave that repaired Psionic Core a place to be put to use.

If he hadn't heard it from Xing Wanying, he really wouldn't have known that this Copy was a new one that Principal Yu Dafu and Zheng Youwang had painstakingly prepared for twelve years to construct.

Today was its first day in operation, yet he and Li Er cleared it in just over an hour.

Twelve years of hard preparation, broken in just over an hour.

He wondered what Principal Yu Dafu would think if he knew.

Zhou Chu gave a wry smile, took a look at the four remaining Psionic Cores in his Storage Space, and pondered in his heart.

He wondered if he would be able to encounter other mechanical creatures in the future.

After all, a Psionic Core could only exert its effect when installed on a mechanical creature.

Just as Zhou Chu was full of thoughts, a white figure stepped through the air from the sky not far away.

The next moment, a golden beam of light tore through the sky and shot rapidly toward Zhou Chu's side.
