Chapter 44: Guaranteed Victory Tournament

Inside the room.

Shen Fei sat on the sofa, while Su Muyu sat opposite him. The incident at the door was just a small episode and could be easily dismissed when encountered.

No need to get angry.

But this competition.

"Individual and team..." Shen Fei pondered. The contest was divided into individual and team events. The individual was a round robin, each school with four people.

Simple and straightforward, lose and step down, and then another goes up. The first school to lose all is considered defeated.

This format was common in previous exchange matches.

Some were so strong, they could defeat all four opponents straight up.

Points were earned based on rankings.

But this team event was newly added, directly in a large dungeon where points were earned by killing monsters, and the highest scorer plus their corresponding points were added.

The school with the highest combined points wins.

"Forget it, not bothering to think about it."

It’s not that Shen Fei was arrogant; he really didn’t feel that there was anything worth pondering. This exchange match was like a baby cup to him.

Su Muyu glanced over and nodded, "There’s indeed nothing to think about. I’ve heard about Shimen First High School, it’s quite strong, but just around level eleven or twelve.

The others aren’t that strong either."

"Just half a month, normally. Not everyone can reach Abyss Edge." Shen Fei released Empress and Vast Heaven Venerable, handed another room card to Empress, "You guys go to another room."

"Okay." Empress took the room card, pursed her lips.

"Call me if there’s a problem."

Empress nodded, glanced at Su Muyu before leaving, and Su Muyu squinted slightly.

[Lin Yang]: Captain, how should we plan? We’re downstairs, why don’t we come down and discuss the plan?

[Shen Fei]: No plan, you guys chat.

As for the individual match, you and Jiang Zhirou take the first two. It’s meant to showcase a bit, I’ll go with Dusk Rain at the back.

[Lin Yang]: Okay.

[Jiang Zhirou]: Okay.

[Fang Yuan]: Shen Fei doesn’t need to worry, but you guys need to pay attention to their skills, think about how to counter. It’s also a learning experience.

[Lin Yang]: Got it.

[Jiang Zhirou]: Got it.

Su Muyu glanced at her phone, "The principal has great confidence in you."

Shen Fei raised his eyebrows, "Of course."

"It’s true, after all, only you can achieve this." Su Muyu’s gaze towards Shen Fei was filled with admiration, she had just learned last night how much Shen Fei had accomplished in the past half month.

He was indeed her hero.

"Hehe."

Shen Fei saw Su Muyu’s gaze and chuckled.

"Wanna go downstairs for a look?"

"Nah, nothing worth exchanging, they’ll end up as defeated opponents anyway. They’ll naturally recognize us then.

Might as well stay with you and watch TV?"

Su Muyu shook her head, got up from the sofa and lay on the bed.

Shen Fei nodded, "Right."

"What to watch?"

"Hmm... anything’s fine."

...

In the first-floor exchange hall, many young people were interacting, Lin Yang and Jiang Zhirou were there too, Jiang Zhirou looked at Lin Yang and whispered, "Where’s the captain and sis-in-law?"

"The captain said it’s unnecessary to exchange, anyway, when they take first place, everyone will know him." Lin Yang smiled wryly, but remembered the captain’s impressive record.

Honestly, only being there in person would make you realize Shen Fei’s record was real.

Earlier, he took a walk around, and anyone who knew he was from Shencheng kept asking if he knew the bragger Shen Fei, supposedly clearing a dungeon in a few minutes.

Although the record could be seen in many cities, they didn’t believe it was done by one person, rather thought it was a gathering of extremely strong professionals of the same level from Shencheng.

Moreover, the rumors online said it was done by a high school student who had just awakened, who would believe that. If you did, you’d be a fool.

"Feels like we’re just here for show, without any tension at all." Jiang Zhirou said weakly.

Lin Yang shrugged indifferently, "That’s good, it’s a guaranteed win contest; I heard the rewards this time are quite abundant. It’s like riding on the captain’s coattails."

"Alright." Jiang Zhirou nodded.

Lin Yang thought of the taunts from earlier, and suddenly laughed, "I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s contest. If they know the captain is the Shen Fei they’re talking about... hope they don’t have their Dao Heart shattered.

Heard it’s being livestreamed."

"Livestream huh, then I should perform well too."

...

"This movie, not bad." Shen Fei smacked his lips, carefully withdrew his hand from a soft spot, Su Muyu rolled her eyes at Shen Fei, tidied up her clothes.

"Just watch. Humph, you still touched."

"Hehe."

Shen Fei laughed, "Couldn’t help it, couldn’t help it."

"I didn’t forbid you, you’re my boyfriend, even my future husband, touching won’t matter."

Su Muyu leaned against Shen Fei.

Shen Fei scratched his head, hugged Su Muyu, and softly asked, "Dusk Rain, I asked you before why you like me so much... I mean, although my grades are good, I look alright.

But... yeah, it’s probably not much to you."

"Narcissist." Su Muyu raised her eyes to look at Shen Fei, a slight smile at the corner of her lips, this guy probably forgot about her, but it’s normal.

Back then, he didn’t step up merely because she was pretty, but it was just his nature.

She just liked his kindness.

"You like what you like, there’s not much why." Su Muyu smiled, without revealing that she actually knew him since she was young.

She wanted him to discover it himself.

Just a little surprise in life.

"Alright." Shen Fei didn’t dwell on it.

"I need to watch some Warlock videos now..." Su Muyu got up at this time, having been too indulgent these days, she hadn’t studied.

Sigh.

Her profession isn’t like Shen Fei’s Summoner; Warlock calls for operational skills and needs a lot of accumulation.

"Alright, I’ll watch some videos too."

Shen Fei nodded.

...

The next day.

Shen Fei and Su Muyu woke up, dressed in their Shencheng First High School uniforms, representing the school in the competition required some semblance of ceremony.

Outside, Empress and Vast Heaven Venerable were released by Shen Fei into the summoning space.

And Lin Yang and Jiang Zhirou were already waiting.

"Brother Shen, sis-in-law."

"Let’s go."

Shen Fei stretched, eager to finish and take the Space Crystal Stone home.

When they got downstairs, Fang Yuan was already there, looking at Shen Fei who appeared as relaxed as if it’s a picnic.

Contrast with the tense people from other schools, Fang Yuan laughed, "Let’s go, today is the individual match at Yun City Sports Complex."

"Aren’t we supposed to draw opponents?"

"They’ll draw onsite, to avoid suspicions of pre-arrangement for fake matches."

Fang Yuan explained.

Shen Fei nodded, "Either way, I looked at the profiles, seems like no big deal."

"What could be a big deal..." Fang Yuan twitched his lips.
