Chapter 926: Chapter 699: The Pillar of Ding Chuan
The formidable bald man and the equally formidable new student left for a minute, and the scene remained in dead silence.
Until two beautiful women moved slightly, everyone finally reacted.
The matter has come to an end…
Scott, the accompanying team leader from Dawn Academy, stepped forward and looked at Youshi Wang with a complex expression, maintaining poise and etiquette as he slightly bowed.
“I apologize for my previous disrespectful remarks about your academy. This visit has shown me your academy’s strength. I believe that being able to engage with the powerful Dingchuan Academy is something every person striving for the development of Dawn would hope to see.”
After Ruan Xiongfei appeared, and the taboo name “Zhou Yang” was mentioned, Scott dared not utter a single disrespectful word.
Youshi Wang, slightly taken aback, quickly recovered, responding grandly and gracefully, “I appreciate your recognition of the academy, Professor Scott. Shall we continue now?”
Her eyes carried a hint of inquiry.
She knew it was all due to those two men just now, appearing arrogant first and then respectful.
In this power-centric era, whether soft power or hard power, ultimately, they are the most convincing reliance.
However, the Youshi family’s name had shielded her from too many storms in the past. Perhaps she had become accustomed to effortless success.
Facing Dawn Academy, which naturally exuded superiority, family background seemed to have little effect at this moment.
On the contrary, the reckless display of strength from that young man, and the power behind his mentor, who suppressed everything single-handedly, were the reasons Dawn finally bowed her head.
Therefore, Youshi Wang’s gaze was complex at this moment.
Brother, did you know of his extraordinariness long ago, and that’s why you asked me to investigate?
…But now, are the materials in my hand truly accurate?
Mu Fan, initially so simple, but now the mystery surrounding him only deepens.
At this moment, Youshi Wang not only developed deep doubts about the facts but also had immense curiosity about Mu Fan…
Scott smiled bitterly and looked at the accompanying leaders of the other three major academies behind him, receiving their eye signals.
This accompanying leader shook his head.
“Today’s developments truly exceeded our expectations. The event was not contained within a small scope. As the accompanying leader, I have an unshirkable responsibility and need to go back and reflect.”
“Additionally, the state of our students today might not be suitable for continuing the visit. And your academy probably needs to repair this beautiful corridor, so I hope we can delay by half a day for adjustments. I will formally apply to your academy.”
Following Scott’s sight, Youshi Wang looked at the cracked stone pits and footprints, and the nearly destroyed giant osmanthus tree, a scene hard to ignore.
Whether Dawn, Bonar, or Pulan Military Academy and Taoyun Academy, these exchange students from prestigious schools probably no longer had the heart to continue watching.
She understood and nodded, her gentle voice replying, “In that case, I’ll communicate with the academy and then lead everyone to the apartment area for rest.”
“Thank you, Student Youshi Wang.”
Seeing the beautiful and poised Youshi Wang, Scott felt emotional, perhaps those at Dawn like him had misjudged.
Dingchuan Academy is truly a place where talents and virtues converge.
So under Youshi Wang’s arrangement, the crowd dispersed orderly, and the well-informed academy staff immediately moved forward to surround the scene.
However, the fermentation of events was just beginning.
Black quietly turned off the network live broadcast and watched with great interest as Mu Fan’s news began to spread at a geometric speed in virtual space.
The entire Dingchuan intranet began to boil unprecedentedly.
At any moment, actions that could glorify the academy were the focus of everyone’s attention.
Mu Fan, at the right time, in the right place, just happened to be the hero saving them from disadvantage.
This perfect heroism almost conformed to everyone’s normal worldview and values.
Therefore, after that 14-minute complete video spread online, the entire online world exploded.
Mu Fan’s personal information began to be rapidly dug up, quickly revealing a profile so simple it was shocking.
“From some planet, where is Loga Star?”
“Family background? Sorry, none. Orphaned background…”
“Recruited through the Army Reserves!”
“What the… core student! Appointed as the top new student.”
“Then a section went blank, forcibly erased, this must be military-permission encrypted data, right?”
…
The more they looked, the more they were shocked, the more they felt unfathomable.
Yet the scattered information collected from other channels directly pushed the name “tyrant” to its peak!
Those students, whether freshmen, second-years, or third-years.
Their eyes reddened as they read the astonishing intelligence:
“Participated in the Mecha Martial Competition, annihilated three mechas from the Lan Du Military Group, directly advancing to the Iron Throne Contest!”
“In the competition, encountered an attack by the Dark Dominator Solomon’s seventy-second Gatepost Knight Andumari? And successfully survived… Are you joking with me?”
“Encountered a life-and-death attack by the notorious S-class Mercenary Group—Blood Teeth Team—outside Dingchuan Academy, massacring a level five mutant Morris.”
“Disappeared for a month afterwards, whereabouts unknown… then, just recently, single-handedly crushed Dawn’s exchange student team, Primordial Beast Boat was sent to the ICU, currently under full rescue…”
Those who read this information were panting heavily.
A thought emerged in their minds simultaneously, is this guy even human?
No matter what others thought, at least the staff preparing to repair the site felt that this kid was definitely not human.
“Did a mecha fight on this piece of land?”
“Lu Si’en, shut up, no one thinks you’re mute.”
The staff stared dumbfounded at the deep pits, calculating the materials needed and repair plans in their minds.
This is the Ninth Cultural Corridor, how did it get battered like this?
At this moment, a robust old man with golden blonde hair, tinged with some gray at the temples, appeared with two middle-aged mentors accompanying him.
The powerful aura of the man, reminiscent of dragons and tigers, made people dare not look directly at his face.
Seeing the muscles bulging with veins on his thick arms, it was hard to believe the man’s age exceeded 60.
“Simpson Doan, Dean.”
Upon seeing the old man, everyone on the scene instantly stood respectfully and shouted.
This is one of the Vice Presidents of Dingchuan and the highest manager of the Fighting Department.
After his appearance, he silently observed the traces on the ground.
Then he stretched out his thick knuckles and pointed to a spot, a clear footprint left by Mu Fan slamming into the ground, and the palm print left by using the Ancient Flow Fighting Skill—Dragon Bow.
“Preserve these two marks.”
“Ah?”
The two staff members were dumbfounded, this privilege was only available to people with great fame after graduation.
And it was even rarer to leave both handprints and footprints simultaneously.
“The strength of this kid doesn’t deserve it. But his words represent Dingchuan’s…”
“Spirit!”
A flash of pride and admiration passed through his tiger-like eyes.
Simpson Doan gazed across the lush scenery across the Feibai River, his voice loud, “I want future Dingchuan students to remember that once there was a student who fought for Dingchuan’s glory without hesitation.”
“So, this is a symbol of honor!”
“He is our pride of Dingchuan.”
Mu Fan, walking miles away, had no idea.
Ever since he arrived at Dingchuan for half a year, the words Lu Qingxue once said had indeed come true.
“May you become… Dingchuan’s pillar.”
Now, in the mouth of the Vice President, the title of Honor Pillar had been fully established.
After Simpson Doan personally awarded the praise, Mu Fan’s name began to spread with unprecedented speed among the academy’s top echelons, in Zhongjing City, and even in the upper society of Blue Capital Star.
…
Zhongjing City, Blue Moon Bay, Tang family’s residence.
The Tang Family Head, Tang Zhi, a bright-eyed yet somewhat sinister old man, was meditating while tasting tea.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a light green family uniform entered.
He held a tactical light computer in his hands.
“Family Head.”
The robust voice echoed in the clean and bright tea room.
