Chapter 38: Chapter 36: Verbal Dueling at Swords’ Point, the Martial Arts Grand Exam Begins! (Thanks to reader lord Traveller Entertainment for the recommendation ticket!) Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at the speaker, who turned out to be Che Yongyuan.
Luo Yong’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
It was extremely foolish for someone from the Alliance to jump out and expose a colleague’s shortcomings in public.
Exposing the internal conflicts of the Alliance, does it do you or Chen Fei any good?
He said coldly, “It seems that Director Che has some unique ideas!”
Che Yongyuan had been feeling uncomfortable since Luo Yong had been lavishly praising Chu Feng.
The kid had rejected his hint and overture, and then raised a ruckus, leading to him being beaten up by Luo Yong again.
His face still bore the marks of the beating, attracting odd glances from many guests.
Now, watching Chu Feng about to secure a guaranteed slot, jealousy clouded his judgment, and he blurted out this statement without thinking.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he also found himself in a difficult position and simply sneered:
“Principal Luo didn’t mention that Jia Ren’s disappearance and Ding Bowen’s death from the Ding Family might be related to him, right!
“He is one of the suspects, and personally, I believe he is the real murderer!
“Such a person still receives Principal Luo’s full recommendation?
“As an internal delegate of the Alliance, I cannot help but suspect that there is some sort of internal deal!”
Everyone was shocked. Chu Feng was involved in a homicide?
Ji Feiyang asked sternly, “Principal Luo, is that so?
“If this student is a suspect, may I assume that your school is misleading us?”
Luo Yong quickly waved his hands: “There is no misleading, I have a full explanation and reliable evidence proving that Chu Feng is innocent!”
He then looked at Che Yongyuan and laughed:
“Not to mention, your claim has no evidence, even after the Patrol Team investigated, they ruled out Chu Feng as a suspect.
“Just to speak of Jia Ren, abandoning his post during battle, framing colleagues, and coveting others’ secret techniques!
“Even if you and Chen Fei have retracted the charges and the warrant for his arrest, he is still a traitor to Ninghe No.1 Middle School and a disgrace to the Human Race, unworthy of sympathy in death!
“As for Ding Bowen, while it is not gracious of me to speak ill of a deceased student.
“But the betrayal of classmates, putting more than a dozen students and a teacher in peril for personal gain, this alone is enough to strip him of his humanity!
“Detested by all, justified by all to be killed!
“If it weren’t for Chu Feng and the other four risking their lives to fend off a Soldier Level demon, those teachers and students would’ve been sacrificed by now!
“Now, you have the audacity to stand up for a turncoat of the Human Race and to slander a Hero in public!
“As the principal of Ninghe No.1 Middle School, I seriously question your allegiance as a delegate!”
Che Yongyuan’s face turned purple with rage after hearing this.
Especially since it implicated Chen Fei as well, leaving him without an ounce of dignity.
He opened his mouth to retort but suddenly realized he had nothing to say.
The affairs of Jia Ren and Ding Bowen were reported to the upper levels of the Alliance, Chen Fei couldn’t suppress them.
Even if the warrants were retracted, the crimes committed by the two were substantial, and there was just no prosecution.
Wanting to defend them, but there was nothing he could hold onto.
Che Yongyuan was seething with anger, with such teammates, how were they supposed to fight?
…
The crowd was startled upon hearing these secrets.
A traitorous teacher disappears, a traitorous student dead?
That was one thing, for consortiums don’t value such matters.
What they were more concerned about was, how could a mere five Martial Apprentices withstand a Soldier Level demon?!
Goodness gracious, if Chu Feng managed to do this, it wasn’t just being invincible among equals.
That was taking on higher-level challenges!
Rong Wanyun asked anxiously, “Principal Luo, you just said that Chu Feng and the other four could resist a Soldier Level demon? Is that true?”
Luo Yong proudly smiled, “It’s true, the whole story of this incident was released through the Ning He Daily!”
“We have also rewarded five people within our school.
“Little Li, go find the incident report and show it to the guests!”
Li Peng responded and quickly turned to leave.
Soon, the battle report from the period of the demons’ invasion was placed before everyone, with the commendations for the five individuals right at the top.
However, the battle report had been modified by Wang Weiguo.
To cover up the abnormality of Chu Feng’s achievements from the public, and with his consent, the credit had been evenly distributed among the other four.
Of course, the actual benefits all went to Chu Feng.
The warehouse full of Wraith Demon corpses he had drawn from, if really valued at the market price of Demon Clan corpses, was completely not the trivial sum Wang Weiguo had casually mentioned.
Secretary Li Peng thoughtfully placed a copy in front of Che Yongyuan as well.
The cover featuring Chu Feng’s radiant smiling face caused Che Yongyuan immense shame and annoyance, yet he was helpless.
Everyone flipped through the battle report, marveling in amazement.
Luo Yong glanced at Che Yongyuan and smiled, “So, our guests need not worry.
“Chu Feng is a very good student, and I can vouch for him. He is definitely not the criminal some people claim him to be!
“I just want the outstanding students from our No. 1 Middle School to have a bright future and not to waste their youthful efforts!”
All six guests, including the representative of the noble families who had been silent, began clapping in admiration.
Noble families, unlike consortia, are not as open. They also recruit talents, but their requirements are more stringent, usually demanding blood ties.
Put plainly, either marry into a noble family or become a noble clan’s son-in-law, which they welcome even more.
After all, the martial artists who established noble families did so with the intention of strengthening internal bonds with bloodlines.
Although it’s inevitable for various conflicts and dirty laundry to arise within noble families,
Overall, they are more united and exclusive than organizations such as consortia.
At this moment, the strange looks directed at Che Yongyuan by the others only served to inflame his anger.
Compared to Luo Yong, the head-down Che Yongyuan looked like a clown.
He couldn’t help but clench his device, sneering in his mind:
‘So, you’re picking a fight with me, huh? Fine, Luo Yong, you’ll have your time to cry very soon!’
Seeing the guests happy and his enemy deflated, Luo Yong was satisfied, chuckling lightly:
“Dear guests, please look at the next student, Wang Erbao, one of the Chu Feng quintet, also a fledgling talent with exceptional gifts…”
…
Half an hour later, after everyone had finished their discussions, He Guanshan, sitting at the central seat of honor, knocked on the table and said with a smile:
“Everyone’s here; let’s get started. No matter how good it looks on paper, they need to prove themselves in practice, right?”
The guests all agreed with a laugh, “Minister He is right, to see how excellent the talents of No. 1 Middle School really are, we need to see true skills for ourselves.”
“Hopefully, we can sign a few more good seedlings this time, and then this year’s task will be completed!”
He Guanshan nodded, looked at Luo Yong, who understood and surged True Force within his chest.
As he opened his mouth, a massive voice swept across the entire Martial Arts Field like thunderous echoes, causing everyone to feel a slight tingling in their feet:
“All examinees, quiet down!
“This Ninghe No.1 Middle School Martial Arts Grand Exam will be presided over by Minister He Guanshan of the Academy Alliance Eastern Region branch!
“Now, please welcome Minister He to speak!”
Scattered applause came from below the stage.
He Guanshan smiled faintly, and without any visible effort, his amiable voice miraculously rose by each person’s ear, speaking leisurely:
“Dear students, I am He Guanshan, and I welcome you to this session of the Martial Arts Grand Exam.
“I wish you all satisfying results, in recognition of yesterday’s sweat and effort.
“A decade of hard work forges a blade, all for today’s leap through the Dragon Gate!
“Now, I announce that the 101st Martial Arts Grand Exam of Ninghe No.1 Middle School is officially underway!”
