He hadn't expected that Wan Lei, always called a useless playboy, could single-handedly overpower so many disciples, almost securing victory on his own.

Actually, only Wan Lei himself knew how he had won.

His opponents were merely students who hadn't even killed anyone before. They lacked fighting spirit, let alone the iron will of soldiers.

That's why they were scared into scurrying away after his initial fierce attack. Despite having such powerful combat strength, they couldn't utilize it at all, only running away haphazardly and allowing themselves to be slaughtered.

If it were a real life-or-death battlefield, those battle-hardened warriors would never be frightened into retreat by a single attack. They would die if they ran, and would fight desperately even if only one of them remained.

That was the difference between students and warriors.

Wan Lei didn't feel any sense of accomplishment bullying these people.

On the contrary, he hoped for the opportunity to fight on a real, bloody battlefield where life and death were at stake. That was where a warrior belonged.

Yes, he was the Thunder God, a standard, perfect warrior who had experienced countless battles of blood and fire.

"Children, you have done well. I am very pleased to see your battle. You represent the most outstanding and brilliant young generation in the entire Wan Clan Southern Prefecture..."

Zhao Dongxing gave a long-winded speech, praising the students below, and then said, "As agreed, this time, you will choose the next Dean of Xinxing Academy.

So, the children who are still on the field, tell me, do you choose me to continue as Dean, or do you choose Vice Dean Liu to take my place?"

Guan Zhan immediately stepped forward and said, "During Dean Zhao's tenure, our Xinxing Academy has flourished, emphasizing both martial ethics and cultivation. He has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the academy. I believe that only Dean Zhao is qualified to serve as Dean."

"We also support Dean Zhao!"

"Support Dean Zhao!"

The disciples did not leave, and all the more than one hundred people on the field shouted in support of Dean Zhao.

Liu Dehuai's face was extremely gloomy as he left with a flick of his sleeve.

Wan Lei noticed the haze that flashed in Zhao Dongxing's eyes as he watched Liu Dehuai's departing figure.

One could imagine that Dean Zhao would take this opportunity to purge some of the Second Master's faction, and the academy would face a major reshuffle.

Wan Lei quietly left the field and came to Sui Xiaohang and Feng Silu, smiling and saying:

"Feng Silu, thanks to your good idea, otherwise, I'm afraid this time, we wouldn't have won so easily."

Feng Silu smiled like a flower, looking Wan Lei up and down:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect it. You're so strong now. It seems that even without my idea, you could have easily won."

"No, your contribution is great. I said before, how about coming to my mansion as a strategist?"

Wan Lei said with a playful smile.

"Hehe, you wish. I'm telling you, although I'm siding with your faction now, it doesn't mean my family is also doing the same. So you still have to work hard and try to win over my family as well."

After saying that, Feng Silu hopped away.

Wan Lei smiled. He felt that Feng Silu was now almost trustworthy, but not completely. After all, as long as the Second Master's lineage did not fall, she could be drawn over there at any time.

Even if she, a little girl, had no value to be won over, and she and Wan Jin and the others were enemies and would not be won over, it didn't mean that her family wouldn't be won over.

After all, when the time really came to fight against the Second Master's lineage, those affiliated families would have to take sides.

Although their strength was not strong, they had the advantage in numbers.

The competition was over, and Wan Lei, with nothing to do, returned home. These days, he had been working hard to cultivate, but because he had no cultivation technique, and because he was a Thunder Body, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was even slower than that of people with poorer aptitude.

Just taking it as diligence can make up for clumsiness, Wan Lei began to cultivate.

That night, in an unknown courtyard in Southern Prefecture City, three people were sitting.

One was Liu Dehuai, and the other was Wan Honglin. These two Core Formation experts were now sitting in the lower seats. In the middle main seat sat an old man with a withered figure, white hair, and chicken skin.

In Southern Prefecture City, the identity of the person who could sit above the two of them was self-evident. It was Wan Lei's Second Master, Wan Xiaotian!

"Father, Wan Lei is very strange now. We can't see through him at all. It seems like he suddenly has cultivation. A few days ago, he was no match for Jin'er, but today he can fight dozens of experts of the same realm alone.

If we let him continue like this, he will eventually become a disaster."

Wan Honglin frowned and said.

Wan Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Although I don't know why he has become so strong so quickly, how strong can he be? As long as Liuchuan wins the position of heir, we can rightfully force my eldest brother to abdicate.

A mere child is not to be feared."

"He is not to be feared now, but that doesn't mean he won't be in the future.

Father, although he can't defeat Liuchuan in the heir competition, all the evidence now shows that this kid has extremely high talent. What if, when we take action, or before we take action, the Great Master sends him away to escape?

Think about it, many years later, a peerless expert returns to take revenge. How should we deal with it then? Father, although this possibility is very small, we have to guard against it!"

Wan Hongxin said.

Hearing this, Wan Xiaotian's eyes suddenly narrowed. Yes, he was going to be the Lord of the Wan Clan Southern Prefecture, how could he leave such a disaster behind?

Wan Lei was now only at the ninth level of the Initial Force Realm, and he could exert such combat power. Then, when he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would probably require extremely powerful experts to kill him.

It was better to take advantage of the fact that he was still weak, and kill him directly when it was easiest to kill him, to avoid any unforeseen troubles in the future.

"Okay, find some outer family members who are not afraid of death, promise them a large sum of money, but be sure to demand one thing, that is, not to reveal any information about us instructing them.

We cannot do this kind of thing by our own family members. The main family's attitude is still unclear, and it is not time to completely fall out with them yet."

A dangerous arc appeared on the corner of Wan Xiaotian's mouth.

Liu Dehuai stood up and cupped his fist and said, "Don't worry, Second Master, leave this matter to me. I know some friends who don't value their lives, and they dare to do anything for money.

Moreover, they know the rules very well. Once captured, they will commit suicide immediately and will never reveal the information of the employer. I will contact them now."

"Alright then, do things cleanly. Honglin, go and get some treasures and give them to Dean Liu. He has worked hard in this competition and should be rewarded as well."

Wan Xiaotian said.
