Chapter 301: Chapter 154: If This Were Outside, You’d Be Dead; Secrets of the Holy See

Shen Fei and Su Muyu’s return to school didn’t cause much of a stir, or rather, no one even knew Shen Fei was back.

Most of the freshmen were preparing for the freshman competition.

For many freshmen, this was considered an opportunity to showcase themselves.

Meanwhile, sophomores, juniors, and seniors were either busy completing their monthly quotas.

Or they were looking for ways out after graduation.

So there were far fewer people wandering around campus.

"Not bad, a student should be constantly busy, rather than idly roaming the school."

Walking along the campus road, Shen Fei looked at the students hurrying by and smiled with satisfaction.

Su Muyu, by his side, rolled her eyes at Shen Fei, "You’re one to talk.

There are countless students who secretly want to give you a beating." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But Shen Fei smiled and said, "If they’re capable, let them come. If they can beat me.

Those assessments won’t matter to them anymore."

Su Muyu could only shake her head.

This guy really puts ’bullying the weak’ out in the open.

She then said, "The freshman competition starts tomorrow. I’ll head to the training room to try out some new skills."

"Alright, I’ll go find my master then."

After parting ways with Su Muyu, Shen Fei headed straight to Luo Ran’s office.

By now, it was almost evening, and if Luo Ran were back, he should be in the office.

As Shen Fei approached the Mage Tower, he saw Zhao Jing chatting with a well-dressed middle-aged man.

Zhao Jing was a bit surprised to see Shen Fei, "Hmm? You’re back."

"Just came back for the freshman competition, right?"

"Indeed."

Zhao Jing nodded, while the middle-aged man beside him said in a calm voice, "Are you Shen Fei?"

Hearing the slightly unfriendly tone, Shen Fei frowned, "And who might you be?"

"Ni Changlong of the Ni Family."

Shen Fei was momentarily taken aback and then asked in confusion, "Huh?"

He looked at Zhao Jing, seemingly asking who this was.

"A Venerable from the Heavenly Pride Club, here to discuss the exchange competition, Venerable Quicksand."

Zhao Jing smiled, "The Ni Family in the Imperial Capital, ranked just below the Fang Family and Dugu Family."

"Oh..."

Shen Fei nodded to show he understood.

Ni Changlong lifted his head arrogantly, seemingly waiting for Shen Fei to show some admiration or respect.

"Never heard of it."

Shen Fei’s next words left Ni Changlong’s face stiff, and Ni Changlong couldn’t help but say, "Country bumpkin..."

"No, buddy. Haven’t you watched the livestream? Or do you not know my achievements?"

Shen Fei couldn’t help but say, a Venerable acting arrogant in front of him?

He’s killed countless Tier Seven.

Tier Seven might be impressive outside, even the Breaking Abyss Army’s leader might show some respect upon meeting one.

But in front of him, they’re no different from chicks.

Still an aristocratic family member.

If this were outside, he’d just crush this guy.

Zhao Jing quickly said, "He just came out from a Secret Realm, er, maybe he hasn’t been following much."

Shen Fei shook his head, "I won’t bother arguing. If you send the Dragon Emperor or the Emperor of your Ni Family, I might be a bit more courteous."

After saying that, Shen Fei couldn’t be bothered with Ni Changlong anymore, what a character.

"Director Zhao, I’m leaving now. Master wants to see me. Oh, I’ve posted some things on the official website, take a look if you’re interested."

"Alright."

Zhao Jing nodded, while Ni Changlong’s face turned ugly, "Old Zhao, about this Shen Fei..."

Zhao Jing rubbed his brow and said, "Old Long, do you really not surf the internet?"

"I’ve vaguely heard of this guy before, there was quite a bit of discussion in the family, heard they wanted to recruit him.

Isn’t he just a Heavenly Pride with a relatively high talent?"

"Huh? Now that I’m standing in front of him, I might not last ten rounds.

You clearly haven’t read the requirements for your Heavenly Pride Club’s participation in the exchange competition."

Ni Changlong furrowed his brows, "I heard this Shen Fei is only eighteen, right?"

"Heh, indeed eighteen. Yet with King of Invincibility strength, he’s a judge for the exchange competition.

Your side’s requirement is that Shen Fei cannot participate as a contestant."

Ni Changlong was taken aback, "You speak of Wu Xia culture?

An eighteen-year-old King of Invincibility.

I just stayed in the Secret Realm for a year or two, has the outside world changed so much? Didn’t he wake up at eighteen?"

Zhao Jing watched Shen Fei’s distant figure, advising, "It’s not that the world has changed, he’s just special.

Next time you’re out, you should surf the web a bit. You’re lucky this is a school, if it were outside, you might not be here now."

"I’m from the Heavenly Pride Club, and the Ni Family, he dares to kill me?"

"Heh, you can try. He would kill even from your Heavenly Pride Club."

Zhao Jing shook his head.

This old friend was quite normal before returning to the Ni Family, but after returning, he’s been tainted by aristocratic habits.

Suddenly.

Zhao Jing thought about the impending exploration of the Ice Abyss, and he’s heard there will be quite a few aristocrats involved this time.

’Another storm is brewing.’

Zhao Jing sighed inwardly, he too is from an aristocratic family, though the Zhao Family’s territory is up in the northeast.

He grew tired of the power struggles here, and that’s why he came to teach at Imperial University.

Knowing that conflicts between aristocratic families and the Breaking Abyss Army will be extremely fierce due to interests, not to mention Shen Fei is a standard-bearer for the Breaking Abyss Army.

Regardless of the reason, the aristocrats are sure to make a move in this Ice Abyss.

This time, even Tier Nine might be involved, but Shen Fei isn’t easy to deal with either.

In the outside world, although respected as a King, due to one encirclement in Shencheng City.

Four or five Venerables died, and even a Nine-stage Flaming Celestial Demon Dragon fell.

But this time, the setup in the Ice Abyss will likely be larger than the Shencheng City encirclement, potentially leading to the fall of even Emperors.

Before, it was all Demons.

Their fall didn’t greatly affect current Wu Xia’s structure, but if an aristocratic family or the Heavenly Pride Club falls.

That’s another story.

...

Shen Fei had reached the door of Luo Ran’s office, and upon entering, he saw Luo Ran brewing tea.

Just like always.

Letting Shen Fei feel completely at ease.

"Take a seat."

The two sat opposite each other, Shen Fei took a sip of hot tea, showing a trace of enjoyment.

Luo Ran’s tea was still the best.

He wondered if he could ask Luo Ran for some tea leaves to take home.

Luo Ran spoke, "Marshal Meng and I went to Fendi Mountain."

"Mmm, mmm."

"We gave the current Pope a beating, killed their two Heavenly Prides of their sole Profession, and snatched two Mythical Artifacts and five Legendary Items from them."

Shen Fei blinked in surprise, "Master, didn’t that Pope go crazy?"

"He did, but Meng Zhengguo and I sent him packing."

"Master’s amazing."

Shen Fei genuinely marveled, damn, snatching two Mythicals, five Legendaries and still managed to leave.

Did the Pope not lose his mind?

"But that’s not the point, the main thing is I’m trying to figure out what the Church is up to."

Shen Fei’s interest was piqued by Luo Ran’s words.

It was clear Luo Ran had discovered something, or he wouldn’t be saying this.

And Luo Ran’s next words left Shen Fei stupefied.

"The Church seems to have connected with a faction from the ’Age of Gods’ Ancient Secret Realm."
