102: One of me is enough!

“Look, people from Blazing Dragon University are here!”

“No way? They only sent one person? They really don't think much of us!”

“His Rank is only fifty-five, he probably didn't even make it onto Blazing Dragon University's freshman ranking list, did he?”

“...”

When Wang Chen walked towards the exchange meeting's gathering area, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Especially his Blazing Dragon University school uniform, which instantly made many people present show solemn expressions.

However...

[Rank: Fifty-five (Second Turn)]

When they used their probing skills to check Wang Chen's Rank, anger involuntarily appeared in their eyes.

Although the people present were not the best among the freshmen of various universities, they were still ranked high, with the weakest Rank reaching fifty-five, and the strongest few being around sixty.

Blazing Dragon University sending a fifty-five Rank freshman to participate in the exchange meeting clearly showed that they didn't take them seriously.

“Arrogant!”

“Blazing Dragon University has been pulled down from the top spot in the academy rankings by Huaqing University, yet they still maintain this condescending attitude!”

“Do they really think a fifty-five Rank freshman can sweep us all?”

“Too naive!”

“...”

The crowd was buzzing with discussions, and many students participating in the exchange meeting stared intently at Wang Chen, secretly deciding that they would teach him a good lesson once they entered the Secret Realm.

At the same time.

The teachers leading the teams from several universities were also stunned when they saw Wang Chen alone.

“Student, did your Blazing Dragon University only send you?”

The host of this exchange meeting, the team leader from Qingqiu University, came forward with a somewhat displeased expression.

Other universities had anywhere from three or four to ten students participating in the exchange meeting.

But Blazing Dragon University only sent one person, and didn't even have a team leader!

Is this... do they have some opinion about our Qingqiu University?

“Yes!”

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded and said sincerely, “My teacher said I alone would be enough.”

“You...”

Hearing his words, the team leader from Qingqiu University's mouth twitched, and his face darkened.

Too arrogant!

What does “one person is enough” mean?

This is clearly not taking the Genius students from our other universities seriously!

“Alright, student, come with me to register.”

The Qingqiu University teacher said dryly, then turned and walked towards the registration desk.

Following behind this teacher, Wang Chen's eyes calmly swept over the surrounding crowd.

He could already feel the overflowing anger in the eyes of the people around him.

If gazes could kill, he would probably have been torn to shreds by now.

However, Wang Chen's expression remained unperturbed.

His goal in coming here, besides the fox heart grass, was to “crash the party”!

Being hostile? It doesn't matter, it's just the mentor's task.

As for fear...

It simply doesn't exist!

Just as his mentor Mu Wanying said before he came, among these people, there isn't a single one who can fight.

...

“This guy... he looks so familiar!”

Behind the angry crowd, in the Yanshan University team, a girl's expression was somewhat hesitant.

Her gaze kept shifting between Wang Chen and the two little guys on his shoulder.

“What's wrong, Fang Yan?”

“Do you know this arrogant guy?”

Beside the girl, a tall boy saw his companion's expression and asked curiously.

“Lu Yunzhang, this guy seems to be our Yuanjiang Province's top scholar, Wang Chen...”

Hearing this, Fang Yan said with some hesitation.

“Oh?”

“Wang Chen? The Giant-Beast Master who contracted a Dragon?”

After hearing her words, the anger on Lu Yunzhang's face disappeared, and his gaze turned somewhat solemn as he looked at the figure who was registering.

A provincial top scholar, and he also possesses a Divine Beast-level Dragon as a beast pet, even if his Rank is only fifty-five, it is enough to warrant attention.

“Yes.”

After confirming a few more times, Fang Yan nodded.

“Heh heh!”

At this moment, another student in the Yanshan University team heard his companions' discussion and sneered disdainfully:

“A provincial top scholar, running to participate in an exchange meeting? It seems his title as top scholar is merely in name! He's probably not doing well at Blazing Dragon University!”

“Zhu Jiangming, you'd best not underestimate him. To be able to become a provincial top scholar, he definitely has something extraordinary about him!”

Lu Yunzhang, who was beside him, couldn't help but remind his companion.

“Hmph!”

Hearing his words, Zhu Jiangming snorted coldly.

“Yuanjiang Province Ranks at the bottom among dozens of provinces in our Dragon Country, so the amount of 'water' in his provincial top scholar title can be imagined.”

“If I encounter him in the Secret Realm, I can easily eliminate this Wang Chen.”

Zhu Jiangming shook his head and said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Fang Yan's expression was somewhat annoyed; this statement was too broad in its Strike.

She was also from Yuanjiang Province, if the top scholar had 'water,' wouldn't she have even more 'water'?

However, although she was annoyed, Fang Yan's lips moved at this moment, but she didn't dare to voice her rebuttal.

Zhu Jiangming came from a wealthy family, his Rank had reached fifty-nine, and his strength was among the top ten freshmen at Yanshan University.

She couldn't afford to provoke him.

...

After Wang Chen finished registering his information, all the universities participating in the exchange meeting had arrived, and the teachers from the host, Qingqiu University, began to announce the rules of this exchange meeting.

“This exchange meeting will adopt a point-based ranking system. Every wild monster you hunt in the Secret Realm will accumulate corresponding points for you.”

“After the Secret Realm closes, the top ten in terms of total points will receive corresponding rewards.”

“The first place will even receive a special reward prepared by our Qingqiu University!”

Standing in front of the crowd, the team leader from Qingqiu University said with a smile.

As he spoke, he had his accompanying colleagues distribute a jade token to every student present.

“Fellow students, the wild Secret Realm is different from the Secret Realm Dungeon you've entered before; this is real combat!”

“After entering the wild Secret Realm, danger is everywhere, so do not let your guard down. Your opponents are not only other competitors and wild monsters.”

“The jade token has a function to exit the Secret Realm. If you encounter a life-threatening crisis, please immediately crush the jade token.”

“But be aware, once the jade token is crushed, you will lose your qualification for the exchange meeting ranking.”

After all the students had put away their jade tokens, the Qingqiu University teacher said with a serious expression.

As his voice fell, many students below showed expressions of nonchalance.

They didn't take this reminder to heart at all.

However, Wang Chen, who was playing with the jade token, raised an eyebrow and glanced at the ordinary Awakeners gathered around him.

Any escape tool takes time to use.

He thought to himself, and after the rules were announced, he walked to the side and waited.

Soon.

A faint magical fluctuation appeared from the entrance of the Secret Realm, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
