Ling Xiao was startled by Xuu Zixuâs angry shout, shut his mouth, and secretly blamed himself for being unable to sit still.
Although he was working for the Ni Family, the Dragon Emperor was also a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Pride Club, and he was being too impatient.
Ni Yi quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Hey, Dragon Emperor, calm down. Ling Xiao is just straightforward and not questioning Shen Fei..."
Shen Fei said with a smile, "There are so many Kings and Emperors present, how could they not notice if there was really any malpractice?
Do you think, Ling Xiao, that your eyesight is better than these seniors?
Do you think that these seniors saw it but didnât speak out because they were pressured by Imperial University, but you, unafraid of authority, exposed the reality?"
Shen Feiâs two sentences immediately elevated Ling Xiaoâs questioning to an unwarranted level.
With these words.
Ling Xiaoâs face turned extremely ugly.
Not only the teachers from Imperial University and people like Chen Qingyang, but even Lin Feng, who came to watch the match, along with many Kings and Venerables, all frowned.
Theyâre not fools.
Shen Feiâs every point, they might not have noticed at the time, but as soon as Shen Fei mentioned it.
When they recalled and combined what Shen Fei said, it turned out to be true; Shen Fei was right.
And even if they didnât question, it was a junior who did.
Does that make you seem superior?
Or do you think your eyesight is much better than theirs?
In either case, nobody felt good about it.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "If you can refute like Shen Fei, with reason and evidence, thatâs another thing. But just claiming Imperial University is fraudulent?
Refuting just for the sake of it."
"Dragon Emperor, it seems your clubâs ability to nurture the younger generation is lacking."
"Ling Xiao might have a hard time taking on big responsibilities in the future."
These words were serious, knowing that Lin Feng was not only an Emperor but also backed by the enormous power of One Sword Overthrows Immortal Gongsun Manor.
Every move Lin Feng makes garners attention and observation from countless people.
After these words, anyone who knows Lin Feng will have as their first impression of Ling Xiao.
âThis person was deemed unfit for major responsibilities by the Mad Sword Emperor.â
Xuu Zixu naturally realized this too and hastily said, "Mad Sword Emperor, those words were a bit severe. Ling Xiao is just young and inexperienced..."
"Hey, my student doesnât get it either, but you should just quietly listen if you donât understand."
"Pretending to know when you donât makes you a lifelong fool."
Lin Feng wasnât on the Heavenly Pride Clubâs side, speaking freely and cutting off Xuu Zixu.
The surrounding Kings and Venerables whispered to each other.
Shen Fei shook his head silently; is this the Heavenly Pride coming from an aristocratic family?
No wonder, despite a glorious ancestry, they ended up like this.
Indeed.
Falling from grace.
For a time.
The enthusiasm for the Heavenly Pride Club among the people decreased significantly.
Instead, they chatted amiably with teachers from Imperial University.
Xuu Zixu no longer retained his previous relaxed demeanor, only sitting there with a gloomy expression.
âShen Fei, youâre difficult to deal with...â
Xuu Zixu didnât expect that despite Shen Feiâs formidable strength, he had no arrogance about it.
Instead, he adeptly used the strategy of Borrowing Power.
Just this incident alone elevated Ling Xiao to a reckless person in the eyes of many High Tiers.
This may seem like a minor episode, but it could prove fatal for Ling Xiao in the future.
After all, as Ling Xiao advances into the High Tiers, interactions with these people are inevitable, and the first impression is already poor.
Building relationships may be difficult.
âTo curry favor with the Ni Family, he sacrificed his own reputation.â
While everyone was talking, Wang Shengteng on the platform could only cup his fists and say, "Thank you, Teacher Xie, for your guidance. Thank you, leader, for your advice. Itâs just that Iâve been too complacent lately."
"Mm. Go and ponder what your mentor has told you. If you can show improvement by the next class, we can consider the failed subjects."
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable said, arms crossed.
Wang Shengteng quickly nodded, "Okay, okay. I wonât let the teacher down."
"If I donât see your growth, failing subjects will be the least of your concerns."
"Yes!"
The spectators around also returned to their senses, bursting into immense discussion.
"His underpants were practically pulled off; whoâs daring enough to challenge Shen Fei?"
"You canât say it like that. Everything Shen Fei said was substantive, even discerning your current deficiencies.
Unfortunately, Iâm from another school; if only I could receive some of Shen Feiâs guidance, Iâd definitely improve."
"Indeed, people from Imperial University really donât know how good they have it, and Iâve heard they have special systemsâthose resources make me envious..."
"When will Shen Fei be able to share more broadly? Shen Fei isnât just Imperial Universityâs pride; heâs for everyone."
"Share Shen Fei? You guys sure know how to talk."
...
There were those who questioned, those who envied, but more were amazed by Shen Feiâs abilities, indicating that he was not just powerful.
In teaching, he also surpassed many of his peers.
Even some teachers admitted with a wry smile that they did not have Shen Feiâs insight, and that his insight made him fit to lead students.
The subsequent battles continued, but compared to the match between the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and Wang Shengteng, they seemed somewhat lackluster.
For a while, even the cheers that erupted before the Celestial Dao Demon Venerableâs appearance were sparse afterward.
Yan Xingtian looked at the subdued atmosphere and couldnât help but look at Shen Fei, who had directly boosted the excitement of the previous match.
Now, everyone lacked interest.
A flash of inspiration came to mind, and he said with a smile, "Shen Fei, why donât you comment on this battle?"
Shen Fei was still writing something on paper when he was suddenly caught off guard by Yan Xingtianâs words and said, "Principal, this isnât really my job."
"Hey, anyway, we have nothing else to do, and hearing your commentary is more interesting."
Many Kings and Venerables also nodded secretly, and Shen Fei looked a bit troubled.
Seeing this, Yan Xingtian said, "You mean to say I, the vice-principal, canât even call on you?"
"Oh no, Principal, donât put me on a pedestal like that, but I do have my work too."
Knowing that Shen Fei was difficult to persuade without incentives, Yan Xingtian said, "Not long ago, your Innovation Association wanted some of the schoolâs resource allocation rights?
Society approval rights and part of the Sub-Abyss development rights, too."
"If, by the end of this, everyoneâs satisfied, it might be something to consider."
Shen Fei raised his eyebrows, "Vice-Principal, but the Principal is still here."
"Yan Xingtian can handle it," Chen Qingyang said with interest, which added some fun to this freshmen competition.
The usual freshmen competitions had already become monotonous over time.
