Summoners: One Golden Term per Level-Chapter 81: Consecutive Record-Breaking, Stirring Up a Storm
Xiao Jing froze when he looked at the Record Stele of the dungeon.
In the Hell Difficulty, the names ’Shen Fei’ and ’Su Muyu’ were like two sharp swords, stabbing his eyes.
Not only that, but the surrounding discussions gradually reached his ears.
"They used to say Tang City was proud, but now look, Shen Fei has set the record at 15 minutes. Even if you cleared the Hell Dungeon, you wouldn’t be able to match him!"
"Hehe, Xiao Jing used to harass other people’s girlfriends.
I heard he liked to steal someone’s love back in high school, claiming to have the bearing of the Venerable Wei Wu. Isn’t he just shameless?"
"Please, don’t insult Wei Wu’s bearing. At least the Venerable Wei Wu fancied widows, not people still with boyfriends or husbands."
"The main thing is whether you have the strength. If not, then damn, that’s the most impressive."
"Suddenly, I don’t feel like sending my child to Shimen First High School. Shencheng First High School seems pretty good." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"And I heard that after the exchange match, South China Area will invest more in Shencheng First High School. The key is becoming schoolmates with Shen Fei. If you get a chance to connect with him, wouldn’t that be exciting?"
...
These unreserved sarcastic comments were like arrows piercing Xiao Jing’s already battered heart, causing his facade to crumble.
Ultimately, he was gnashing his teeth.
"Shen Fei!!"
He had completely etched those two words into his mind.
After pondering, he looked at Jiang Lan and said, "Principal, I’ll go back and think about it first. I’ll come back this afternoon; right now my state of mind is a bit unstable."
"Okay, you go rest first."
Jiang Lan nodded, but her eyes were filled with worry.
The influence of Shen Fei on Tang City had only just begun.
This was just the first dungeon.
At Shen Fei’s clearing speed, he could likely finish all the Hell Difficulty dungeons below Tier Three in Tang City before dinner.
"A new storm has arisen!"
Jiang Lan couldn’t understand why such a freak like Shen Fei existed, completely beyond the realm of Heavenly Pride.
And why didn’t he appear at their Shimen First High School?
...
After eating Tang City noodles, Fang Yuan immediately took Shen Fei and Su Muyu to the next dungeon. This dungeon was called ’Gale Dragon Nest’, not as famous as the Cursed Land in Tang City.
Not long after.
The first-time red light, still seen in Tang City, appeared again in the sky over Tang City.
[Congratulations Professional ’Shen Fei’, ’Su Muyu’, for first-clearing the Hell Difficulty dungeon—Gale Dragon Nest! Time taken: 00:10:36!]
[First-clear dungeon, special reward medal: Dragon Hunter]
This was just the beginning.
...
[Blood Plains]——[00:08:23]
[Bone Tomb]——[00:09:12]
[Frost Valley]——[00:07:11]
...
The entire afternoon in Tang City, every now and then, was under the cover of red light.
Originally, when the first one appeared, people in Tang City thought another Heavenly Pride within Tang City had conquered a Hell Dungeon.
But as the news from the Cursed Plain Dungeon emerged.
The continuous first-clearing of dungeons in Tang City was actually done by Shen Fei from Shencheng First High School.
Each red light was like a slap from Shen Fei, hitting everyone in Tang City, and gathering the major powers like the Wu Family, Shimen First High School, Fierce Tiger Association, and Breaking Abyss Army together.
...
"What should we do now? If we let Shen Fei continue, Tang City will lose all face."
Tang City’s chief executive, Liu Feng, filled with anxiety, spoke with his square face.
He frowned tightly, and the sound of ancient walnut pieces he was fiddling with came out rapidly.
"Why not expel Shen Fei?"
Wu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Just claim that Shen Fei might be suspected as a Demon. After all, with his age and awakening time, it’s unlikely for him to have such strength.
It’s not slander; it’s just an excuse to investigate, so we can drive him away for a while. After the college entrance exams, his focus will definitely shift."
Liu Feng’s eyes lit up, but Xue Hu, the president of the Fierce Tiger Association, looked at the Breaking Abyss Army’s Battalion Commander, Wang Zi.
"No, you can’t use that excuse to make Shen Fei leave."
Breaking Abyss Army’s Battalion Commander Wang Zi’s face showed clear refusal.
Jiang Lan also agreed with Wang Zi’s statement, saying, "Indeed, Shen Fei is someone Governor Han values. You can use any excuse or reason, but not this Demon suspicion."
"Moreover, this morning, their train to Tang City was attacked. The current news is that the enemy was a Tier Four Demon. Shen Fei is already a target for Demons, and if you frame him as one now..."
Wang Zi shook her head and said, "It might escalate to someone of the Venerable level, and then Tang City could become a major search target!"
"Forget it then." Wu Mo dismissed that reason, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes—could Shen Fei really even evade a Tier Four Demon? Were those Demons eating aimlessly?
However, Xue Hu heard the key point, "Wait, how did Shen Fei survive an attack from a Tier Four Demon?"
He knew the concept of a Tier Four Demon.
Wang Zi shook her head and said, "I can’t disclose specifics. I’m here at this meeting to tell you that you can entice, coerce, or negotiate. But don’t frame or smear him.
Otherwise, if a divine punishment comes down, Tang City could be done for."
Liu Feng, being an old hand, understood that Shen Fei had powerful backers.
You can engage him through rightful means, but if you use vile ways, you’ll understand what ’powerful backing’ really means.
"Then there’s no way, really. We can only negotiate, and now public sentiment is boiling.
If Shen Fei continues breaking records, the public will become like a powder keg, and key is, Shen Fei is just taking first-clears now.
If he gets bored and breaks every record once,
he could single-handedly hold a city."
Liu Feng rubbed his forehead, looking at Jiang Lan and Wu Mo. "Shen Fei was provoked by your Shimen First High School and Wu Family.
If you don’t want your names stinking in Tang City in the future, you better resolve this quickly."
"Everyone, disperse."
Wang Zi was the first to stand up and suddenly said while turning around, "Also, best not let me know if any of you have ties with Demons."
"Otherwise, I’m a Tang City person, but above all, I’m a Wuxia person, and with the Breaking Abyss Army."
"Don’t blame me for disregarding old friendships then."
...
After the meeting, Jiang Lan and Wu Mo issued a joint statement, apologizing for the inappropriate conduct by certain individuals during and before the exchange match.
They also invited Shen Fei to Tang City’s largest restaurant for a public apology to show sincerity.
This joint announcement from Shimen First High School and the Wu Family immediately stirred a storm in Tang City.
The name of Shen Fei became known everywhere in Tang City.
