"How could this happen?"
"Who are you? Why are all the fire lotuses in your hands?"
Tens of thousands of people who rushed forward next saw that Zhou Hong had snatched all the fire lotuses by himself and were furious.
At this moment, the onlookers on both sides were also shocked. Such a thing had never happened before, where one person could pick all the fire lotuses.
Lu Qianqian also saw it, rubbed her eyes, and wondered if she was seeing things.
"Senior brothers, I know you are not reconciled, but it's all about individual skill. I snatched all the fire lotuses with my own abilities," Zhou Hong shouted.
"You're talking nonsense. I finally understand why, at the moment the fire lotuses matured, a group of women were dancing naked right under our noses, causing us to be distracted. When we rushed out again, we were obscured by smoke, delayed again. It turns out it was all your doing," said one of the male students in the late Lingji stage, his face full of anger.
"Senior brother, the academy doesn't seem to have a rule against using methods like this to interfere with others. If your willpower is not strong enough, you will be attracted by the women I invited to dance. You can only blame yourselves."
"You are shameless." A large group of people surrounding Zhou Hong in the center of the lake were all enraged, especially the tens of thousands of students in the Lingji stage. They originally had the best chance, but Zhou Hong's petty trick affected them.
Seeing the enraged crowd, Zhou Hong quickly put the fire lotuses into his sub-world. Others didn't know it was a storage space or something similar.
"Senior brothers, disperse. The fire lotuses are gone this time. There will be another chance in ten years," Zhou Hong said comfortingly.
The more Zhou Hong said this, the angrier the crowd became.
In Zhou Hong's sub-world, Zhou Hong quickly ate a fire lotus.
A few minutes later, Zhou Hong's cultivation level surged, and he instantly broke through to the late Heart-Moving stage. Su Dan Novel Network
"Hahaha, it's indeed powerful." Zhou Hong felt the cultivation level within him and laughed excitedly.
"This classmate, what's your name?" At this moment, an old man descended from the sky. It was none other than the vice-dean from before.
"Replying to the Dean, my name is Zhou Hong, a student from Class 30, Year 1."
Hearing that Zhou Hong was from Year 1 and Class 30, everyone was incredulous. Although they disdained Zhou Hong's vulgar methods, they had to admit that this guy had some skills. In the cultivation world, honest people often achieve nothing, while cunning people go further.
"Classmate Zhou Hong, because your speed was not enough, you used a trick to slow down others, thus reaching the center of the lake first. Is that right?" the vice-dean said.
"Vice-dean, the academy has no rule against using tricks to slow down others, right?"
"Of course, the academy has no such rule. You can use these tricks as long as they are not direct attacks. However, after you reached the center of the lake first, you are not allowed to pick all the fire lotuses yourself. No matter who reaches first, they can only pick one. Otherwise, in every past instance, didn't the first person to arrive want to pick all the fire lotuses?"
"Is that so? Is there a rule that only one can be picked?"
"Of course. Moreover, it's useless for you to consume so many yourself. So, please take out the rest, otherwise, if you incur public wrath, I won't be able to save you."
Zhou Hong chuckled helplessly. He had originally planned to take them out to build goodwill and give them to some classmates.
"Since the vice-dean has said so, I will take out the rest. However, with so many people, who should I give them to?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Hand them over to me, and I will let them fight for them again."
Zhou Hong had no choice but to take out the remaining 29 fire lotuses and hand them over to the vice-dean.
"Very good." The vice-dean nodded, seeming to have a good impression of Zhou Hong. Although the tricks Zhou Hong used were indeed vulgar, they were also a display of strength.
"Everyone, there was a small interruption just now. Now, everyone retreat to your original positions. I will reinsert the fire lotuses, and you can fight for them again." The vice-dean looked at everyone and said.
"Thank you, vice-dean."
Everyone then retreated to the shore with satisfaction. If Zhou Hong had really possessed all of them, they would definitely not have accepted it.
Zhou Hong also returned to the shore. He now needed to deal with the 1,000 beautiful women and send them back to his sub-world.
"Have you all put on your clothes?" Zhou Hong said to the 1,000 beautiful women in his mind.
"We put them on long ago. You told us to put on our clothes immediately after we succeeded and hide in a secluded place. We are now in the secluded corner where we came out." came the reply from those beautiful women.
Zhou Hong immediately went to the corner where they had come out. As expected, the 1,000 beautiful women were waiting for Zhou Hong there.
Zhou Hong looked around. No one was following him. Everyone's attention was now back on the fire lotuses, and they naturally wouldn't pay attention to Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong quickly collected the 1,000 beautiful women back into his sub-world.
"Thank you. This was very successful." In the sub-world, Zhou Hong said gratefully to the 1,000 beautiful women. Although Zhou Hong did not appear before them directly, his voice reached their ears.
"Senior, you don't need to be so polite. If you need our help again in the future, just ask us."
"Heh heh, alright, then each of you go back to your own homes." With a thought from Zhou Hong, the 1,000 beautiful women were sent back to where they were brought from.
With everything settled, Zhou Hong returned to the lakeside.
At this moment, the vice-dean was still in the center of the lake, reinserting the 29 fire lotuses one by one.
"Everyone, when you see the fireball in my hand thrown into the sky and then fall onto the water, rush up and grab it immediately," the vice-dean shouted loudly.
Everyone refocused their attention.
A few seconds later, the vice-dean held a fireball and threw it fiercely into the sky. The fireball was thrown very, very high. About half a minute later, the fireball fell onto the lake surface.
The moment the fireball landed on the lake, everyone rushed forward.
Soon, the dust settled, and the搶奪 was completed. This was a matter of an instant.
Zhou Hong stood on the shore, watching everyone snatch with a happy smile.
"Zhou Hong." Just then, a woman's voice called out from behind Zhou Hong. He turned around and saw it was Lu Qianqian.
