Chapter 69: Senior, Save Me! Someone's Trying to Assassinate Me!

Mu Rong gazed at the stage with admiration. "Classmate Bai Jing is amazing!"

Deng Xin was speechless. "That's not amazing, that's crazy—it's plain stupid!"

"Xinxin, why do you always pick on Classmate Bai Jing? I think he's amazing. At least he dares to challenge everyone. If it were me, forget being that lively—I wouldn't even dare say a single word up there!"

"Fine, yours is called social anxiety. His is full-blown social godliness!"

Seeing the principal grinning from ear to ear, Wu Quan sidled over.

"Principal, this kid is far too showy. He has no idea what humility is!"

"No, no, no. I think it's wonderful. This is the vigor young people should have, isn't it?"

"Besides, hasn't he livened up the atmosphere? With a spark like him, this year's competition is bound to be spectacular!"

"Right now I'm looking forward to seeing just how far this kid can go."

It seemed the principal was no ordinary fan of this student.

Cao De was also being ribbed by the other professors at this moment.

"Old Cao, with a troublemaker student like that, you'll have headaches aplenty in the future!"

Cao De gave a wry smile. "I'm not afraid of troublemaker students—I'm afraid when the troublemaker is a top student. You can't hit them, you can't scold them. That's what really puts a person in a bind!"

"Alright, students, now follow the teachers to the school's cultivation base."

The moment Bai Jing stepped down, he was met with pairs of wolfish, gleaming eyes.

"Don't do anything rash, okay? Even if you want to fight, you can't beat me. We agreed to settle the score on the arena!"

"Pfft!"

The students scattered in an instant!

"We'll be waiting for you to come call us 'lord'!"

"Hmph, then let's wait and see!"

The three dorm buddies squeezed over.

"Brother Bai, you went way too far. If you lose, you'll really be at the very bottom of the school!"

"No, no, no. Even if I lose, aren't you three there to be the bottom?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm your boss!"

"Shit!"

The three caught on—so when the time comes, the ones at the very bottom will be the three of us?

"Brothers, beat the crap out of this bastard!"

The four of them roughhoused, weaving in and out through the crowd, but then…

"Hey! Which bastard just groped me?"

"Ah~ molester!"

"There's a pervert!"

Someone deflected the trouble: "It was those three! Grab them!"

"Bai Jing, we're going to fight you to the death!"

The cultivation base was right inside the school, covering a vast area. Inside, various environments had been simulated to accommodate the different species of spirits.

Nearly two thousand people stopped at the Damenkou. A squad of fully armed police was already standing by.

"Students, you will spend twenty days inside. During this time, you may tame any spirit you like, but only one at a time—though you may attempt taming repeatedly."

"Taming must be done with the special spirit balls issued by the school. Every spirit inside is recorded. I'm telling you now—don't try to cheat, or you'll not only be disqualified but also have a stain on your record."

"There are also wristbands for communication. If you run into danger, you should call for help immediately."

"During this period, you may come out at any time to resupply."

"Alright, line up and come collect your spirit balls and wristbands."

Bai Jing darted to the very front, collected his gear, then ran up to one of the officers.

An old acquaintance—none other than the criminal squad captain, Guan Yunfei.

"Senior, what are you doing here?"

The school had a wall of distinguished figures, and Guan Yunfei's portrait hung right on it.

Huh? Why does something feel off?

He had once been a prominent figure at Modu University himself—otherwise he couldn't have become captain of the criminal squad at such a young age.

"Naturally, it's to look after you new students!"

Understood. Too many students, the teachers couldn't watch them all, so they'd called in the police to help.

"I see… then remember to keep a special eye on me, because I suspect someone is trying to assassinate me!"

Guan Yunfei rolled his eyes. "Cut the nonsense. Don't think I don't know about your big-mouthed boasting earlier. You had the guts to domineeringly challenge everyone, and you still need me to look after you?"

"I gotta say, you're something else. That courage of yours even I can't help but admire!"

"Uh… alright then! Do you have anything like a handgun? Lend me one for self-defense!"

"Get lost~ Is that something you can just lend out?"

Guan Yunfei was truly torn between laughter and tears. This junior was far too unserious!

"Kou Sect, you illegitimate son of the principal!"

Guan Yunfei was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Did I guess wrong? You surname is Guan, he also surnames Guan. The moment you arrived at the school, you went to find him. Can a principal be visited just like that? So you two must be related!"

Guan Yunfei instantly flared up. "He's my uncle—my uncle, got it? I really can't figure out how you jumped to 'illegitimate son'!"
