Chapter 180 -179: Secret Talks in the Conference Room (Vote for me!)
As the meeting room door was flung open, the bright light from the corridor spilled in. Everyone turned to look, only to see the man in the team jersey at the front rubbing his sleepy eyes and stretching in an exaggerated yawn, “Hey, everyone’s here.”
The man scanned the room until his eyes lit up upon spotting the seat for Pengzhou University.
Without caring about the annoyed or fearful looks from the others, he sauntered over to the Pengzhou University seat and plonked down next to the team captain of Pengzhou University, Di Wushi.
He flung an arm around the back of her chair and turned towards her with a flirtatious look, “Little Wushi, why didn’t you come to dinner when big brother called you out last night?”
Di Wushi stood up abruptly, her face cold and without so much as a glance in his direction, “Get lost.”
Her icy voice echoed in the meeting room, causing a momentary pause among everyone present. Although there had been rumors that Di Wushi was indifferent towards men, nobody had seen her so bluntly and publicly tell someone to “get lost,” indicating her genuine detest for that person from Yundu University.
“Yo~ that’s really freaking satisfying. Big brother loves it when someone curses at me. Come on, curse me some more,” he said, reaching for Di Wushi’s hand.
Di Wushi’s expression darkened. She extended her right hand to summon her magical creature, but then paused, completely frozen. A small snake, unbeknownst to all when it appeared, was coiled around her slender neck, flickering its black tongue and hissing.
The sound of chairs scraping against the floor rose as the Pengzhou University team members all stood up with fierce glares at the people from Yundu University, brimming with hostility.
Even though the members of Yundu University were disgusted by their captain’s behavior, they did not back down, and the atmosphere was tense and confrontational.
The team captains from Jiangkou University, Wang Xiao, and from Xiangshan University, Qin Zhaoxu, attempted to pacify their raucous teammates but didn’t say much.
“Enough!”
Seeing the situation spiral out of control, Gou Li, the responsible party from Yundu University, couldn’t hold back any longer, “Wang Xing, that’s enough!”
Wang Xing paused, casually dug his pinky into his ear and glanced sideways at Gou Li, “Yo, Teacher Gou is here too.” Standing up from his seat, he straightened the jersey draped over his shoulders, “Well, for Teacher Gou I’ll give some face.”
He whistled, and the small snake wrapped around Di Wushi’s neck disappeared in a flash of black light.
Wang Xing then turned to Di Wushi, whose complexion had turned pale, and smirked, “Little Wushi, next time don’t ignore your brother, okay? Otherwise, I’ll get angry.”
Under the watchful eyes of the various attendees, Wang Xing led the Yundu University team members to their seats and slouched back, propped up his legs, and said, “Alright, let’s begin.”
Gou Li looked at her student with a headache. As the best university in the Yundu Region, the captain of Yundu University’s team was generally a role model for others.
Yet who would have thought that her first time in charge of a school competition would involve dealing with such an… unreasonable Wang Xing.
As the face of Yundu University, Wang Xing acted solely based on his personal likes and dislikes, completely disregarding what others thought. In the end, it always fell to the school to clean up his messes, causing the university’s reputation to take a continual hit this year.
What irked her the most was that Wang Xing had a strong personal performance, even standing out among the past team captains of Yundu University. She had wanted to find someone to replace him, but there was simply no one who could beat him.
Taking a deep breath, Gou Li suppressed the irritation in her heart and put on a friendly smile, “We hurriedly gathered everyone here today, so surely you all are aware of what happened just now?”
The teachers seated below did not speak, but the students began to whisper among themselves.
They had not witnessed today’s events firsthand, but the internet had already exploded with the news.
There had been rumors that the previously unknown Su City University had produced a Dragon system combat trainer. Initially, they didn’t take it seriously, dismissing it as likely just a publicity stunt by the new principal of Su City University.
Such rumors were commonplace in Yundu regional competitions, heard so often they had become a joke.
But with this video released, even those who had been doubtful began to waver in their skepticism.
If the rumors were true and Su City University had a Dragon-type Combat Training Master, regardless of the strength of his mutant creatures, just the dominance of a Dragon-type alone could cause significant trouble for them.
It’s known that the amount of resources allocated to each school in the Yundu Region is fixed every year; an additional strong competitor means they would get fewer resources, something the upper echelons of the schools would hate to see.
Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Gou Li’s lips curved into a hint of a smile. Although the top four in the Yundu Region were competitors, in some respects, they were also allies.
As an established powerhouse in the Yundu Region, the top four spots in each competition were typically born among them, and having savored the fruits of victory, they certainly were not eager to see a new challenger threaten their position.
She pushed her glasses up and pressed the remote in her hand, “Perhaps some people have not yet seen the video, here is the clearest of the clips I selected from several different shooting angles and edited together. Let’s all have a look first.”
The projector beamed light onto the screen, and the meeting room fell deathly quiet for a time, with everyone’s gaze fixed intently on the screen.
After a long silence, the surround sound system in the meeting room suddenly emitted a roar that shook everyone to their core.
Even through the screen, the disdain emanating from a superior bloodline creature sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Upon hearing this roar, Wang Xing, who had been casual until then, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared unblinkingly at the screen.
“Burning… Burning Wings.”
With the excited shout of the one recording coming from the speakers, the video started shaking violently as the camera tried to track the figure of Burning Wings.
The video cut to a different shot.

A streak of red light flashed quickly across the screen, colliding with a blue dot at the edge of the frame. A dark red flame flashed momentarily, followed by the sound of a fierce explosion.
The entire video was short, composed of multi-angle cuts, and only at the end could one vaguely make out a pair of huge wings engulfed in flames before the sequence of explosions ended the video amidst smoke.
Gou Li turned on the lights in front of the podium, and everyone was still immersed in the brief but staggering combat they had just witnessed.
In their minds, this level of aerial battle simply couldn’t occur on the stage of a regional competition.
Only in the national competition, which brought together elites from across the country, might one witness such a concise yet powerful display of combat.
Gou Li glanced over the other three team leaders’ faces, “What do you think?”
The three team leaders looked at each other. A middle-aged man in formal attire chuckled, “They are merely baseless rumors, I think we are making a big deal out of nothing.”
The middle-aged man finished speaking and looked towards another male teacher.
“I don’t think so. Whether the news is true or false, I believe we should prepare in advance. It would also help the kids to know what they could be facing. What do you think, Teacher Yu?” the younger male teacher cleared his throat and smiled as he turned to the last teacher.
Teacher Yu was a serious middle-aged woman who pondered for a moment before uttering two words: “Information.”
Seeing that two people agreed with her, Gou Li revealed a satisfied smile. She pressed the remote again, and soon, the photos of three young men appeared on the screen.
As the photos appeared, the previously quiet meeting room buzzed with commotion, and the few female team members’ eyes sparkled as they gazed at Shao Zifeng and his two friends, unleashing silent cheers.
“I can!”
