Chapter 24: New Entries

Shencheng First High School.

Fang Yuan was still discussing the matters of the high school league.

After all, it’s considered quite an event, mainly to see the teaching standards of the high schools in this area recently.

This time, it’s not just a few schools participating.

Many well-known families, enterprises, organizations, etc., will also be watching.

They might even use some resources they don’t really need to connect with future talents who will grow strong.

It’s like an early investment in powerful Professionals, forming good ties.

It’s all benefits with no harm for them.

So Fang Yuan was quite focused on this matter, when suddenly the phone beside him rang.

[Liu Wentao]

The caller ID surprised Fang Yuan.

He’s been in Shencheng City for so long, and his contact with Liu Wentao has been sparse.

Usually, there’s not much interaction, and the recent contact involved only one person, Shen Fei.

Liu Wentao calling him was most likely related to Shen Fei.

Did something happen to Shen Fei?

"This is Fang Yuan!"

Fang Yuan felt a tightness in his heart.

Shen Fei was one of the main participants he decided to send to the high school exchange league. If anything went wrong...

Arranging personnel and mobilization would be exceedingly troublesome.

"My goodness, Principal Fang, why didn’t you tell me Shen Fei was so impressive!" Liu Wentao’s voice eased Fang Yuan’s initial tension.

Yet he couldn’t figure out why Liu Wentao was calling him.

’Impressive?’

Fang Yuan paused at Liu Wentao’s description; he knew Shen Fei was impressive, but Liu Wentao was in charge of the entire defense.

Why would he say Shen Fei is impressive?

Did Shen Fei do something, in Yin and Yang style?

But it didn’t sound like it from his tone.

"Battalion Commander Liu, did Shen Fei do something?"

"Oh, he did something big.

He found the Pollution Core in the second area at the Abyss Edge, and thwarted the Demons’ plot to sacrifice Professionals to boost the Pollution Core’s power..."

The more Fang Yuan listened, the deeper his frown became. He was already Tier Four and naturally knew what the second area, Pollution Core, and Demons were.

It could be said anyone Tier Three or above has gone to the Abyss Edge at least once, and many have directly entered the Abyss. Knowing this, he frowned.

These feats aren’t surprising for someone Tier Three or Four, but for Shen Fei?

"Battalion Commander Liu, when I say Shen Fei, I mean my student..."

"Exactly your student, Shen Fei! He’s already decorated with the Silver Medal, and his rank with the Breaking Abyss Army is still pending..."

Fang Yuan: ???

Wait, hasn’t Shen Fei been gone for only a few days?

I merely asked you to look after him, how did it turn into him being decorated.

How did he suddenly accomplish such feats, especially since he remembers the second area requires at least Level 10, and involves Demons...

This seems too absurd.

"This time it’s to tell you the good news."

"Alright, thank you for looking after him, Battalion Commander Liu!"

"With Shen Fei’s ability, he doesn’t need my protection. If not for him, had those Demons succeeded, I’d be facing a ’suspension and investigation’.

I should thank him indeed."

Liu Wentao finished speaking and hung up the phone.

"Huh?"

Fang Yuan still hasn’t snapped out of it, feels something’s off!

Is this Shen Fei really the Shen Fei he knows?

He also thwarted the Demons’ plot...

But soon Fang Yuan laughed, "Hahaha, found a treasure!"

It seems Shen Fei’s growth speed and inherent strength have exceeded his expectations.

Liu Wentao naturally wouldn’t lie; such matters wouldn’t allow falsely claiming Military Merit.

"Oh, this kid, a high school student who hasn’t even graduated, acquiring the Silver Medal!" Fang Yuan already started pondering; Shen Fei’s excellence surpassed his imagination.

Even acquiring the Silver Medal.

This exchange league seems like a joke, honestly. The most, most cautious you could be in the second area.

These people compared to Shen Fei are far lacking.

"After winning the exchange league, let’s host a recognition ceremony, and invite media from Shencheng City for publicity about Shencheng First High School..."

Fang Yuan pondered, couldn’t help but laugh heartily, already imagining his old friends’ faces when witnessing Shen Fei’s ability.

"A perfect match..."

Thinking about another key player in this event, Fang Yuan couldn’t suppress a knowing smile.

After all, outstanding people attract each other.

...

Now the entire defense line knows a fierce person emerged, mainly because Liu Wentao didn’t hide during the decoration ceremony.

The whole Shencheng City defense line knows a person named Shen Fei received the Silver Medal.

The key is, he’s a Summoner.

And right now, many want to see exactly who completed the Pollution Core task, while Shen Fei, at the center of the topic, was resting for a day on the defense line.

Lying on the bed, talking on the phone.

"Dusk Rain."

Shen Fei’s face was full of smiles, Empress glanced sideways at her master, thinking how odd the smile is.

"I’m already Level 8, quite impressive, right!" The voice on the other end came out cold yet joyful.

"You’re already Level 8, that’s impressive!"

Shen Fei nodded vigorously.

Empress scratched her face, but isn’t Master already Level 13?

Is Level 8 impressive?

But Shen Fei didn’t think he was more impressive than Su Muyu.

Shen Fei reached Level 13 because of shortcuts.

One force conquers all methods.

But Su Muyu achieved her levels through her Profession and even her combat skills.

"How are you? The principal already told me you cleared the Hell Dungeon, I knew you were impressive. Originally I thought of going back after college entrance exams.

But isn’t it the exchange league? The teacher told me to get the championship, just to check out this half-month of training, and Dad agreed."

"I’m doing okay. As for Level, let’s keep it secret; when you’re back, there’s a surprise."

"Alright. Take care of yourself, don’t overdo it. I’m sending you some stuff..."

"Sending me stuff? What stuff?"

"They said Summoners need Summoned Beast Equipment too; a few days ago my dad gave me some money, I spent a bit buying Summoned Beast Equipment for you..."

Shen Fei fell silent.

"Silly girl, keep it for yourself, why buy me anything. When are you coming back? I kind of miss you."

"Hmm, five days later. I miss you too." The voice on the other side paused slightly, also with a soft and charming tone...

"Okay."

Shen Fei hung up the phone.

Honestly, he originally planned to train a few more days, at least until the day before the exchange league starts to return.

But Liu Wentao informed him the Demons’ actions aren’t limited to this incident.

Now their plan in the second area is broken; Shen Fei is likely already targeted by them.

During this period, it’s best not to appear at the Abyss Edge again; wait until the exchange league concludes.

"Let’s try the lottery..."

Shen Fei sat up.

After activating his Talent, the Golden Term sea appeared again.

A moment later, the other terms dissipated into the air, leaving only two terms flashing brightly...
