Chapter 12
It was actually a mission to a.s.sist the police.
Chu Zhou, Liu Qianqian, Zhou Tong, Jin Zhennan, and the others finally understood why Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen had summoned them.
“Do you have any objections to this mission?”
Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen.
“No!”
Chu Zhou and the others naturally had no objections.
Actually, it was useless even if they had any objections.
It was their obligation.
“Very good!” Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen smiled. “You don’t have to worry too much. The main force of this operation against the fallen martial artists is still the police. You will just be on some simple a.s.sistance missions like patrolling and inspection.”
“There’s basically no danger as long as you’re careful.”
“Such an operation is also a good opportunity for you to train.”
“Besides, if you perform well, the police will reward you.”
“How can you see the rainbow at the end if you don’t experience the wind and rain?” Big Sister Saber interrupted. “Since you’ve embarked on the path of a martial artist, you won’t be able to avoid the b.l.o.o.d.y storm. There are some things that you should experience sooner rather than later.”
Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen continued,
“The top ten high schools will deploy their elite students for this mission. Therefore, you can treat this as preliminary before the elite trial.”
“Through these preliminaries, you can take the opportunity to understand the situation and strength of your opponents in the elite trial.”
“And I only have one request for you for this mission: Don’t embarra.s.s the Fifth High School.”
Preliminaries before the elite trial?
Chu Zhou, Liu Qianqian, Zhou Tong, and Jin Zhennan were startled too.
They were all prepared to partic.i.p.ate in the elite trial.
Moreover, they were now given a chance to understand their opponents in advance.
This seemed pretty good.
“Don’t worry, Vice Princ.i.p.al. With me around, I guarantee that no embarra.s.sment would come to the Fifth High School.”
Zhou Tong said confidently, emitting an air of arrogance.
Chu Zhou glanced at Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong was not in the same cla.s.s as him, so he did not know much about him.
He only knew one thing. Zhou Tong’s Life Field Energy had broken through to level 4.
He was also the only student in the Fifth High School who had a Life Field Energy at level 4.
He was known as the number one genius of the Fifth High School.
Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen seemed to be looking at Zhou Tong in a different light.
“Zhou Tong, you are the top student of the Fifth High School. You will be leading the mission this time!”
Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen said.
“No problem!”
Zhou Tong’s eyes flashed as he accepted the order.
Chu Zhou did not have much of a reaction to Zhou Tong being the leader.
In any case, it was fine as long as it did not affect him.
Liu Qianqian, however, frowned slightly.
“Alright, I’ve told you everything you need to know. Go to the school gate now. Someone will pick you up.”
Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhou Sen said.
Chu Zhou and the other three immediately left the administrative office and walked towards the school gate.
“Brother Zhou, you’re the top student of our school. Your Life Field Energy has long broken through level four. This mission is your chance to become famous in Jiang City and broaden the horizons of the elites of the other schools.”
Jin Zhennan and Zhou Tong seemed to be old acquaintances. As soon as he left the administrative office, he began to chat and laugh with Zhou Tong.
His words were filled with flattery.
Zhou Tong’s lips curled up slightly. “I always keep my word. If I said I won’t embarra.s.s the school I definitely won’t embarra.s.s the school.”
He looked at Liu Qianqian as he spoke.
However, Liu Qianqian ignored him. Instead, she walked to Chu Zhou’s side and greeted him with a light smile.
“Chu Zhou, this is our first mission together. Please take care of me.”
Chu Zhou was slightly stunned.
He did not expect Liu Qianqian to greet him. Moreover, there was a hint of intimacy.
He did not think too much about it. He smiled and said, “We’re from the same school. Let’s take care of each other!”
Liu Qianqian was slightly elated and immediately took the initiative to communicate with Chu Zhou seeing how he did not reject her.
They chatted about the situation of the elite students of other high schools.
Chu Zhou did not know much about the elite students of other high schools. He listened carefully as Liu Qianqian spoke about it.
Zhou Tong looked at Liu Qianqian, who was happily chatting with Chu Zhou, and his face immediately darkened.
Jin Zhennan saw Zhou Tong’s reaction and then glanced at Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian, who were chatting happily. He could not help but push up the gold-rimmed gla.s.ses on his forehead, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
Hehe, I’ve long heard that Zhou Tong has been pursuing Liu Qianqian, but Liu Qianqian has never agreed…
Initially, he thought that these were just groundless rumors. Now, it seemed that it was true!
With this thought in mind, Jin Zhennan suddenly said,
“Chu Zhou, your Life Field Energy level seems to be only 3.5, while Liu Qianqian’s Life Field level is at 3.9. You actually have the cheek to say that you’re taking care of her?”
His gaze turned to Liu Qianqian as he spoke.
“Liu Qianqian, even though Princ.i.p.al Zhou said that there’s basically no danger in this a.s.sisting mission… We’re dealing with fallen martial artists after all. It’s possible for an accident to happen.”
“I think it’s best if you stay by Brother Zhou’s side during the mission. There will definitely not be any problems with Brother Zhou protecting you.”
This kid was sensible!
Zhou Tong looked at Jin Zhennan in satisfaction.
He looked at Chu Zhou and said, “You have to know your limits. Don’t overestimate yourself. It would be an achievement if you know your limits and take care of yourself during the mission. Just don’t cause us trouble. Naturally, I’ll be the one protecting Qianqian!”
With that, he strode towards the school gate without looking back.
Jin Zhennan sneered at Chu Zhou and followed.
“Chu Zhou, I’m sorry. It seems that I’ve caused you trouble.”
Liu Qianqian explained to Chu Zhou guiltily.
“Zhou Tong pursued me for two years, but I didn’t like him, so I didn’t agree to be his girlfriend.”
“He must be unhappy with you now that he saw me chatting happily with you. You might be the target of his wrath.”
She didn’t hide anything and told him the inside story.
“It’s fine. It’s no big deal, you don’t have to apologize.” Chu Zhou waved his hand with a calm expression.
He simply did not care whether or not Zhou Tong was dissatisfied with him or not.
If Zhou Tong dared to make a move against him, he would definitely ask Zhou Tong to show him what he could do.
However, he truly wanted to kill Jin Zhennan, rather than Zhou Tong, who was trying to sow discord.
A clown.
Not only did he want to s.n.a.t.c.h his spot —
He even dared to provoke him repeatedly.
He was really tired of living.
Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian quickly arrived at the school gate and stood not far from Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan.
Swoosh!
A hovering police car suddenly flew over from the sky and stopped in front of Chu Zhou and the others.
“You must be students of Fifth High School who are partic.i.p.ating in the a.s.sistance mission. I’m here to pick you up. Get in the car!”
A young policeman poked his head out of the car and asked Chu Zhou and the others to get in.
“I’ll sit in front!”
Liu Qianqian immediately opened the car door and sat in the front pa.s.senger seat.
Chu Zhou, Zhou Tong, and Jin Zhennan sat in the back seat.
“Is this a hovering car? It seems to use nuclear energy blocks. A piece the size of a finger can power it for tens of thousands of kilometers…”
It was Chu Zhou’s first time sitting in a hovering car, so he couldn’t help but size it up curiously.
Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan looked at Chu Zhou with disdain.
Country b.u.mpkin!
The hovering police car sped along. In less than a minute, it brought Chu Zhou and the others to the police station.
“Follow me!”
The young policeman got Chu Zhou and the others out of the car and led them into the police station and into a hall.
“We’re here. Wait here for the commander of this operation to arrange a mission for you!”
The young policeman explained and left in a hurry.
Chu Zhou and the others looked around the hall and realized that many students from other high schools had already arrived.
Basically, they were in groups of three to five.
However, there was a special team with more than 30 students.
“Students of First High School!”
“Gasp, those three students are the three monsters of the First High School, Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi!”
Liu Qianqian looked solemnly at the group of 30 students, especially the three students leading them.
Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan looked at the three students with grave expressions.
Chu Zhou also looked over curiously. He had heard of Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi, the three monstrous students of the First High School.
Probably all third-year students in Jiang City had heard of their names.
First High School’s enrollment criteria was the strictest among all the high schools in Jiang City.
Every student who entered the First High School was considered a genius to the other high schools in Jiang City.
As for Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi — They were the geniuses among geniuses of the First High School. They were also known as the three monsters of the First High School and were famous among the third-year students in Jiang City.
