Summoners: One Golden Term per Level
Chapter 307 - 160: The Regretful University President
Here is the translation:

Only the numerous Tier Nine present could sense the peculiarity of Shen Fei’s summoned beasts.
Even Zhao Jing and others didn’t find anything amiss.
Only a high mountain can appreciate the height of another high mountain, while others only see it as high and grand.
As Shen Fei entered, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena reached a climax, with discussions surging like waves.
Not just students from Imperial University, but also students from other schools.
Almost all stretched their necks to see what Shen Fei, who overshadowed countless Heavenly Prides, really looked like.
"The leader is here! The leader looks even more handsome!"
"Whoa, who’s lucky enough to be drawn to compete with the leader?"
"It’s sparring with the leader, and if the leader reaches Tier Ten, that’s something to boast about!"
"I once battled Shen Tiandi and survived, right?"
...
Although many students at Imperial University occasionally complained about Shen Fei’s system.
Forcing them to constantly think about how to avoid having their benefits reduced in the next assessment.
Rising with the intent to go into the Abyss to hunt abyssal creatures.
But this wasn’t considered intense competition; it was about earning more through more work, as competition is about gaining more benefits under limited resources.
And being forced to repeat meaningless tasks with the same level of people.
But in essence, it doesn’t enlarge the pie but makes everyone struggle more.
But the leader is different.
If you work hard, he really gives you things!
Someone calculated that in this short time, the Innovation Association had spent at least 100,000 credits to train students.
Of course, it wasn’t purely credits but equipment, items, skill books, and various teachings.
Chen Qingyang, seeing this, became a bit curious, "I didn’t expect Shen Fei to have such a high reputation among students at that time?"
"It seems the reform indeed has benefits; the students’ essence, qi, and spirit have all improved significantly, and I found that the quality of this batch of freshmen is indeed much better."
Yan Xingtian also nodded, "Indeed so."
And Ni Yi and others, who followed behind Xu Zixu, fell into silence, feeling that almost a single call could rally them.
Even though they were considered the first among the younger generation within their own families, wanting such renown wasn’t just about strength.
Shen Fei nodded as a greeting but didn’t linger in the competitors’ section, whereas Su Muyu remained there.
Shen Fei went to the viewing platform, "Greetings to all seniors."
Then his gaze fell on Xu Zixu, "I didn’t expect Dragon Emperor Senior to lead people here again."
"Brother is polite."
Xu Zixu didn’t feel calling Shen Fei brother was shameful, because it was due to Luo Ran’s relationship.
The key thing was Luo Ran’s identity being quite special, as she hadn’t joined any faction.
This was why inside the Heavenly Pride Club, there were still voices considering whether to recruit Shen Fei into the club.
If Shen Fei joined the club, then Luo Ran would surely lean towards the club.
And there had long been a seat established for Shen Fei in the viewing seats, and after Shen Fei sat down, Chen Qingyang smiled and said, "A hero emerges from youth, seeing is believing. Truly extraordinary demeanor."
"Principal exaggerates, but the principal looks as vigorous as ever."
"Hahaha."
Chen Qingyang laughed heartily, casting glances at the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and the Empress behind Shen Fei.
Murmuring in his heart, ’Could Shen Fei already possess the strength of an Emperor?’
Yan Motong chuckled lightly and said, "When Sister Luo talked to me about you, I didn’t quite believe there was such a Heavenly Pride in the world.
Now it seems, it was not false at all."
Shen Fei naturally accepted this with a smile, even though he didn’t know the three principals, Tang Yann had prepared a lot of information about the school’s senior management.
Shen Fei naturally had reviewed it all.
But when he saw Bai Qingzhao, his expression turned a bit odd, and Bai Qingzhao revealed a slight smile upon seeing Shen Fei.
While people were chatting, the freshmen battles below had also begun.
Students from both sides were engulfed in enthusiasm, for the freshmen who could enter Imperial University surely had impressive strength and professions.
Add the combat techniques honed during the college entrance examination phase, and the recent urging from the Innovation Association like a whip cracking behind them.
Made for quite a spectacle. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Just a few matches made Wang Bi’an and the other four principals exchange glances, especially Ye Fengbai.
He surprisingly saw the spirit of their university in Imperial University’s students.
Actions were swift and decisive, whether it was the use of skills or control over the combat rhythm.
These were honed through long-term battles, were these really the ’wealthy students’ of Imperial University?
Among the four prestigious schools, Chang’an University held the most contempt for Imperial University students.
Because even though they had the highest talent, their combat skills were scattered, potentially still excelling among peers when their levels were slightly weaker.
But once facing abyssal creatures, each one’s combat skills were scattered, equipment, items, and skills were all quite powerful.
But poorly utilized.
"Principal Chen, your freshmen’s combat quality isn’t bad at all this year. It seems the Breaking Abyss Army’s reforms have some effect."
Ye Fengbai nodded.
But Yan Xingtian laughed and said, "That’s just one part, another part is due to Shen Fei’s reforms on campus."
"Reforms?"
The people were curious; initially, they thought the reform Chen Qingyang mentioned earlier was a reform within their own school.
When the Breaking Abyss Army pushed for entrance exam reforms, their school naturally followed suit with reforms.
This was naturally not surprising.
But they didn’t expect Yan Xingtian to say it was Shen Fei’s doing.
Yan Xingtian casually explained the emergence of the Innovation Association and the policies Shen Fei implemented.
"Decisive and efficient."
Xie Cheng’an exclaimed, as their school also had a student council, unlike the previous club system at Imperial University.
Other schools simply didn’t have the soil for such things to sprout.
The Imperial Capital had always been a place fought over by strategists.
Economy, culture, education, politics, etc., anyone with a bit of ambition wanted a foothold there.
That’s why clubs like ’Zhenyuan’, ’Martial Movement’, and others could maintain their presence for so long.
They were somewhat aware, and it was due to ancient ties being deeply rooted, hard to deal with even if one wanted to.
Yet, Shen Fei emerged as a unique variable, overpowering an entire generation of Heavenly Prides purely with his strength.
And he wasn’t merely the strongest of his peers but could single-handedly overpower all his peers combined.
On top of that.
Imperial University also acknowledged Shen Fei’s methods, eliminating a significant part of the university’s criticisms.
Even though establishing the Innovation Association did break down the club system, those interest entanglements still existed.
But as long as they weren’t cemented on the surface, there was room for maneuver.
Moreover, the policies Shen Fei implemented were acceptable to students, and there was so much resource support...
"Indeed, I now regret not pulling all the stops to bring Shen Fei to our school."
Wang Bi’an shook his head, clearly they had the advantages of location and conditions, and even the slots for the Ancient Secret Realm, to be honest.
Even if Imperial University hadn’t given it to Shen Fei, with his strength, he could have obtained it.
But back then, he still thought nurturing more talented individuals would be better.
Instead of betting everything on Shen Fei.
Looking back now, it was a loss.
The crowd increasingly realized that Shen Fei wasn’t just strong, his political insight was also impressive.
Not only could he be a General, but also a Marshal.
