Chapter 771: The Compet.i.tion Has Been Canceled!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The hottest topic now was the compet.i.tion between the seven major Cultivation Colleges. Most of the students partic.i.p.ating in the contest were from the combat specialization. Only the Capital Cultivation College sent its investigation specialization. If Lu Shu had not disrupted the selection, the combat specialization may have represented Luo Shen Cultivation College as well. They had been preparing to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.
But this did not sound right. The Luo Shen Cultivation College had already chosen its students. The princ.i.p.al did not choose the students. Rather, the students chose among themselves…
The students from the respective major Cultivation Colleges were all discussing how strong their representatives were. After all, many of the representatives were Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude geniuses. Everyone had dazzling performance and power.
“Zhang Yu from the Northwest College once practiced traditional Chinese martial arts. He is very strong in combat. It’s not just for show. He was already a very strong opponent, even before the dawn of the magically rich era.”
“We have these kinds of people in the capital as well. If we weren’t defeated by the investigation specialization, we have Ma Zhengyi. I heard that he has consolidated his Cla.s.s C status and is about to advance to Cla.s.s B.”
“Heh heh, Zhu Tianxiang from the Southwest College will make you understand what an expert truly is.”
The forum was full of people boasting. Suddenly, they realized that no one from Luo Shen had spoken.
Someone uploaded a post asking, “Which specialization from Luo Shen is going to partic.i.p.ate? Any representatives? I heard that Li Zimu from the combat specialization is very strong. He was full of murderous intent during missions.”
In the end, a student from the Luo Shen Cultivation College timidly replied, “We… are sending the species research specialization…”
The other six major Cultivation Colleges were shocked. What?! The species research specialization?
When the other colleges entered the forum, the initial discussions had been deleted. Everyone was talking about “Lord Lu’s” dark history. Thus, students from the other specializations did not know the origins of this nickname and why they were talking about him.
“Ha ha ha ha, brother, are you serious? Is there no one else who is willing to partic.i.p.ate? Why is the species research specialization taking part?”
“He’s obviously joking. Why are you taking him seriously?”
The Luo Shen student was very anxious. “I’m not joking. The species research specialization will represent us.”
Everyone who saw this gasped in shock. “Are your combat and investigation specializations too afraid? Why is the species research specialization taking part? Will they be fine?”
“Yes, don’t trick the species research specialization from other colleges… if anything happens, the combat and investigation specializations should be the ones stepping up. You can’t be afraid! The species research specialization is a civilian job!”
The Luo Shen students were unhappy. “What do you understand? The species research specialization is very strong.”
“Ha ha ha, the species research specialization is very strong?!”
“Stop playing with us, brother. Are you dreaming?”
Another Luo Shen student commented, “We only have five people in the species research specialization. Two Cla.s.s B’s and three Cla.s.s C’s. Do you understand…?”
The other colleges were shocked. “This is the species research specialization? More like the Heavenly King specialization!”
“Those who were part of the flood of bronze in the Lop Nur remains will know…”
Some of the members of the flood of bronze were shocked. “Brother Shu! It’s over. The other colleges are done for!”
The Luo Shen students were rather annoyed as well. After all, Lu Shu had eliminated the other students’ desire to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. It was depressing for an entire college to be oppressed by a single individual.
Now that other people were depressed, they took pleasure in their misfortune.
There was no need to talk about their strength. Although 20 people were required, no one doubted that the five of them would be able to win. There was even a possibility that they would be trashed.
Although the students from the Luo Shen Cultivation College could not partic.i.p.ate, as long as they won, they would be able to bask in the glory. Furthermore, the species research specialization was often looked down on. If they suddenly appeared and defeated the rest of the colleges, then… they were excited just thinking about it.
When the students from the other colleges heard about the cla.s.ses, they were very nervous. This must be against the rules!
Two Cla.s.s B’s could defeat 20 Cla.s.s C’s…
Furthermore, there would be no glory in winning, since 20 people would have defeated five. But if they lost, it would be very embarra.s.sing…
Suddenly, all the colleges received a message. “Due to the possibility that students will be unintentionally harmed during the compet.i.tion, the compet.i.tion between the seven major Cultivation Colleges has been canceled.”
The forum became very active. What was this? How could they cancel the compet.i.tion like that?
Why were they so afraid that students would be harmed?
Since when did the Heavenly Network worry about injuries? There were even fatalities during the military training.
At first, everyone could not accept this. After all, everyone was absolutely terrified when the list of fatalities that occurred during the military training was published, especially since it was a period of peace. But later on, everyone started to accept this. The Heavenly Network was the same. They did not care about the flowers in a greenhouse.
But for some reason, it was different this time.
“Do you think that they are afraid Lu Shu will kill someone…”
People were dumbfounded. “That’s not impossible. Look what he did in the past. I don’t believe that no one will get injured…”
“Stop guessing. It’s because he canceled it.” A Luo Shen Cultivation College student said, “I heard from my teacher that the species research specialization did so because the higher-ups didn’t allow them to partic.i.p.ate. They were afraid that a disaster would happen.”
“So, Lord Lu single-handedly changed the Heavenly Network’s important decision…”
The entire forum was suddenly flooded with “Lord Lu 666!”
“Lord Lu is amazing!”
“Lord Lu is invincible!”
When Lu Shu heard about this, he was shocked. The compet.i.tion had been canceled just because he wanted to partic.i.p.ate?!
He just wanted to earn distress points! He just wanted to obtain the trophy and deliver a speech! Was it that difficult?
Being scared that other students would be injured? Was he that kind of person?!
He was.
“I feel like I’m being targeted by Nie Ting,” said Lu Shu with a serious expression on his face.
Chen Zuan looked at the forum that was flooded with “Lord Lu 666” and laughed, “Why would Princ.i.p.al Nie target you? Don’t you…”
Slap! Chen Zuan received a slap at the back of his head. He lost his balance and fell.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu got up and walked towards Zhong Yutang’s office. He opened the door. To his surprise, Zhong Yutang was not sitting there. Instead, it was You Mingyu!
