How could this suddenly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang paused, then looked at Guhe and asked tentatively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And… Principal, if I remember correctly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Lightning Element Substitute should be just a few fragments away from full formation, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been stuck here for years. You finally got one fragment—why not use it yourself? Why give it as a reward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang was growing anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe, as one of Longguo’s top Lightning Mage, had long hit a bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he formed his Lightning Element Substitute, his power would leap qualitatively—even reshaping Longguo’s high-tier combat strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a crucial thing, just given away as a reward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe looked at Xu Wenchang, his gaze softening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a quiet sigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I truly formed my Substitute, what would it change?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the grand picture of Longguo, for the coming Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield, for the unknown catastrophe ahead…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One old man like me won’t make a difference.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, I’m short more than just this one fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe lifted his head, gazing toward the villa complex beyond the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Lin Mo is different—he’s still young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s only Level 25, yet he’s already awakened his Fire Element Body. If he can awaken his Lightning Element Body before Level 30…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With both dual-element special skills, can you imagine what kind of monster he’d become?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe chuckled lightly, weighing the fragment in his hand. “This stone is more valuable in his hands than in mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang stared at the white-haired elder before him, a wave of respect rising in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, who doesn’t want to grow stronger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power is the foundation of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, the president of Jing University, for a vague hope, for a complete stranger, was willing to sacrifice his own chance at transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang said, resigned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All this grand setup—you’re just looking for an excuse to slip this fragment to him, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe’s expression turned serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean ‘looking for an excuse’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Private favoritism is a grave taboo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Longxu Class may have privileges, but those privileges must be earned through strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I just handed it to him directly, what would others think?

What if Shen Jun’s team wins? After all, he’s got two thousand people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe laughed loudly, waving his hand dismissively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let them have it. If Shen Jun’s team truly wins, they prove they deserve the fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I may be partial, but I’m not blind to right and wrong. Whoever wins gets it—that’s only fair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Guhe waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, Old Xu.

Saw we were Regular students, and just mocked us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kai grew more agitated, slamming his fist on the table:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Shen asked what skills he had, and he said he could use ‘Fire-Earth Combo Skill’—and even ‘Lightning-Fire Combo Skill’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he seriously taking us for fools?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A freshman, hasn’t even started classes yet, and he claims two combo skills? Who’s he kidding? This is clearly insulting our intelligence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the room erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck!

Then we won’t even see their taillights!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair and injustice ignited fully in this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun rose slowly, watching the furious crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice, low and powerful, cut through the noise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re not as gifted as they are.

This is our chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun clenched his fist and slammed it onto the table:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have two hundred people—all elite! We crush them in levels!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, we’ll make those Longxu Class freshmen know—Regular students aren’t fools to be toyed with!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll make them understand what respect means!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah!
