"This is unbelievable, what did this scumbag eat?"
"Incredible, he actually defeated Yu Tao. His martial cultivation realm isn't what we thought, relying on elixirs."
At this moment, the genius group of the Martial Cultivation Academy was abuzz with discussions. Many geniuses who had been lurking in the shadows emerged.
They felt a sense of discontent. Zhou Hong's ability to defeat Yu Tao meant he was at least ranked in the top eight within the Martial Cultivation Academy, a fact that was hard for these talented students to accept.
He was originally a common university student they wouldn't even glance at, but suddenly he became so formidable, stirring envy and jealousy in everyone's hearts.
Shen Dongyang, looking at the discussions in the genius group, felt an indescribable jealousy. Although he ranked tenth on the Genius List, advancing further seemed as difficult as ascending to heaven. Yet, Zhou Hong, with seemingly no effort, had become the eighth most talented.
Meanwhile, in the Dean's conference room at the Martial Cultivation Academy.
The Dean was in a meeting with several other leaders. Suddenly, one of the leaders exclaimed, quickly pulling out his phone and showing the video to the Dean and others.
This video was none other than the one of Zhou Hong beating up Yu Tao.
"What is going on?" The Dean, seeing Yu Tao being beaten, seemed incredulous. The top ten geniuses of the Martial Cultivation Academy were their key proteges. Every one of these ten geniuses was highly valued by the Dean and other leaders, and they had formulated various training plans for them.
The content of their meeting today was about how to further enhance the martial cultivation strength of the top ten geniuses.
Yet, halfway through the meeting, they encountered such a video.
"Who is this person with such rough behavior? He looks quite young. Is he from outside the school?" the Dean asked urgently.
"Reporting to the Dean, he is also a student of Jinzhou University, but he's a common student from the School of Economics. As for why his martial arts are so strong, I'm not sure."
"My goodness, how can a student from a regular major be so strong? If he were relying on elixirs, he wouldn't be able to defeat Yu Tao."
In short, the Dean and the other leaders were shocked.
"Everyone, this Zhou Hong, we must find him quickly and invite him to our Martial Cultivation Academy. Our Jinzhou University's Martial Cultivation Academy is in dire need of geniuses, the more the merrier. The Provincial Collegiate Martial Cultivation Competition is about to be held. The only ones Jinzhou University can showcase are those top ten geniuses. Now, Zhou Hong, who can defeat Yu Tao, is clearly someone we can showcase. With one more participant, our academy will have one more ray of hope!" the Dean instructed immediately.
"Yes, Dean, we will go with you."
Thus, the meeting was immediately adjourned. The dozen or so leaders from the Martial Cultivation Academy who were present at the meeting all headed to the School of Economics to find Zhou Hong, highlighting the importance they placed on this matter.
Zhou Hong was sitting in the classroom playing Dou Dizhu on his phone. Just then, more than a dozen people appeared at the classroom door.
The teacher, who was in the middle of class, saw the group of more than ten people at the door and his face paled in shock.
The students in the class were also greatly surprised. It was the Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy, along with the Vice Dean and over a dozen other leaders.
What major event could have brought them here?
"Excuse me, is Zhou Hong in this class?" the Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy asked immediately.
"Yes, Dean Yang, what brings you here?" the teacher said with great admiration. The Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy was also an idol to all the teachers and students, and held considerable status in Jinzhou City.
Zhou Hong, who had been playing Dou Dizhu, quickly looked up.
Zhou Hong frowned slightly. Hearing that it was the Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy, he thought they were here to cause trouble, and felt a surge of anger. He had only hit that Yu Tao fellow, and now the Dean brought so many people to confront him. This was too petty.
"I am Zhou Hong. What do you want with me? Are you here to avenge that Yu Tao?" Zhou Hong stood up and said with a cold snort.
"Student Zhou Hong, you've misunderstood. I am the Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy, and these are the Vice Deans and other leaders of the Martial Cultivation Academy. We were just in a meeting discussing how to further improve the strength of the top ten geniuses. Unexpectedly, halfway through, we saw a video circulating in the group, the one of you beating Yu Tao. So, we ended the meeting immediately and came to find you."
"What do you want with me?" Zhou Hong's eyes narrowed as he sized up the so-called Martial Cultivation Dean before him. Based on Zhou Hong's estimation, this Dean's strength was around the sixty-odd realm. At this level, Zhou Hong naturally wouldn't take him seriously.
"It's like this, we want to invite you to our Martial Cultivation Academy. Your martial cultivation talent is absolutely extraordinary. If you were in our Martial Cultivation Academy, you would surely rank among the top eight," the Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy invited.
"Yes, Zhou Hong, that is your stage. It's truly a waste for you to be in this regular class," another Vice Dean quickly chimed in.
"Hahaha." Zhou Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter. Unfortunately, they didn't know what he was laughing at.
Zhou Hong was laughing because the Dean couldn't even defeat him with a single finger, yet he wanted Zhou Hong to study at the Martial Cultivation Academy.
At this moment, the students in the accounting class looked at Zhou Hong with awe. To have the Dean of the Martial Cultivation Academy and so many leaders personally come to invite him, how incredibly formidable must he be?
For a moment, all the students in the class felt like kneeling. Even the teacher looked at Zhou Hong with eyes full of admiration, wishing he could worship him.
At this moment, Qiao Xiaoyu also looked at Zhou Hong with burning passion, wishing she could go up and kiss him.
However, Zhou Hong shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't want to go to any Martial Cultivation Academy. I think this accounting major is quite good."
Everyone was stunned. Zhou Hong had actually refused.
"Student Zhou Hong, your martial cultivation talent is so strong, you shouldn't waste it here. To be honest, the Provincial Collegiate Martial Cultivation Competition will be held soon. Our Jinzhou University is relatively behind in martial cultivation compared to other major universities in the province. Originally, only those top ten geniuses were eligible to participate. If you can come to the Martial Cultivation Academy, at least we can add one more participant in you. I hope you will consider it carefully." Su Dan Novel Network
"Provincial Collegiate Martial Cultivation Competition?" Zhou Hong's brow furrowed slightly.
"Yes, it is a grand and significant event. All the martial cultivation universities in Jiangnan Province will send their geniuses to participate. This not only represents the honor of our school but also represents personal honor. The more geniuses participating, the higher the school's ranking will be. If Jinzhou University can have one more participation spot, our ranking will be higher next year, and our student recruitment will be more advantageous."
"Oh, oh." Zhou Hong nodded thoughtfully. Although he wasn't interested in these chaotic competitions, he didn't mind helping out.
