239: So angry!

“Hiss!”

Wang Chen’s scalp tingled as he watched little Ice Purity still striking poses.

What the hell?

Where did Ice Purity, that little guy, learn all these bizarre things?

Feeling the strange gazes from several passing girls, Wang Chen silently recalled Ice Purity to his Beast Pet Space.

He had made up his mind.

From now on, he would absolutely not let Ice Purity out unless it was absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, he, as her master, would be socially dead sooner or later.

“Wang Chen!”

“What… what kind of messed-up things have you been teaching Ice Purity?”

At this moment, Situ Yu walked over, her face flushed, her eyes showing three parts disgust, three parts anger, three parts shyness, and one part unknown meaning.

Seeing this, Wang Chen, who already knew he would be misunderstood, shook his head wearily.

“I’m telling you…”

“She learned all this herself, would you believe me?”

He asked with a sincere expression.

“Heh heh!”

Situ Yu sneered, her expression full of disbelief.

“You clearly led Ice Purity astray, and you’re still trying to argue here?”

“She’s so young, what does she know?”

“Hmph!”

“Come on, let’s go to the training ground. I’m going to teach you a good lesson on behalf of Ice Purity.”

Situ Yu raised her pink fist, her Aura surging wildly.

Seeing this, Wang Chen completely gave up struggling.

Sure enough, he couldn’t clear his name.

“Let’s go.”

He nodded wearily, leading the way towards the school’s training ground.

…

…

Two hours later.

Darkness, coldness, trembling, numbness—after an unknown amount of time, Situ Yu finally woke up from her stupor.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself sitting in a chair, with a tall, slender figure standing beside her.

Just then, the figure noticed the movement, turned, and revealed a handsome face.

“Not bad, you’re the one who lasted the longest among these girls.”

Wang Chen said slowly.

“It… it’s not like you didn’t go easy on me in the end.”

Situ Yu was a bit embarrassed, struggling to sit upright in the chair, feeling as if her entire body was about to fall apart.

“You’re too rough.”

Thinking of how she had been completely ravaged just now, Situ Yu snorted again.

Completely defeated!

She had wanted to test Wang Chen’s strength and see how big the gap between them was.

As a result, without even using his Beast Pet, Wang Chen was at ease under her attacks, and even a casual attack from him could put immense pressure on her.

If it were a real life-and-death battle, Situ Yu felt she wouldn't even last a second.

“You were the one who told me to be serious!”

Hearing Situ Yu’s words, Wang Chen rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat baffled.

Women are truly troublesome!

“You’ve rested enough, let’s leave here quickly.”

Seeing that many of the girls in the training ground were getting restless again, he immediately motioned for Situ Yu to leave quickly.

The senior girls in the training ground were too crazy.

Originally, Wang Chen had planned to give Situ Yu some private tutoring.

But as soon as he arrived, those senior girls saw him sparring with Situ Yu and all came forward, asking to be defeated.

A simple teaching session ended up lasting over two hours.

…

“Oh, right, the monthly Academy Grand Competition is the day after tomorrow. Teacher Mu asked me to tell you that you absolutely must be there.”

Before entering the dormitory, Situ Yu suddenly stopped, saying with a serious expression:

“Teacher Mu also said that if you skip out again the day after tomorrow, all your missed theoretical and practical classes will result in failing grades!”

“You won’t be able to graduate from Blazing Dragon University in this lifetime!”

“Huh?”

Wang Chen, who was about to leave, froze at her words, his face looking a bit bitter.

Does she have to play so big?

He knew about the monthly Academy Grand Competition. This competition was to test the students' strength and also to showcase the teaching abilities of the three major academies.

Based on the final results, it would determine the school's resource allocation to the three major academies for the next month.

“Hehe…”

Seeing this, Situ Yu chuckled gleefully, then continued:

“Teacher Mu also said that if you help our Support Academy win first place in the Academy Grand Competition, she can also sort out your truancy issues for next month.”

“Damn it!”

“Is she threatening me?”

Wang Chen felt a bit of a toothache.

“I got it!”

Waving his hand, he responded somewhat dejectedly.

He had to admit, Mu Wanying Teacher had really hit him where it hurt.

In order to be able to go out and have fun next month, he had to go all out in this Academy Grand Competition, no matter what.

But…

It was really infuriating!

No.

He needed to find a place to vent.

“You rest well. I’m going to stroll around the Secret Realm Dungeon Hall.”

Bidding farewell to Situ Yu, Wang Chen stormed towards the Secret Realm Dungeon Hall.

…

…

Secret Realm Dungeon Hall.

As the liveliest place in Blazing Dragon University, the atmosphere in the Secret Realm Dungeon Hall remained boisterous.

At this moment, the hall was bustling with people. The second and third-year senior students who had returned to school after the official start of classes, as well as the first-year freshmen who had passed their adjustment period, almost packed the spacious hall to the brim.

Looking around, there were heads everywhere, densely packed.

“Quick, look at the school forum!”

“The Prodigy Ranking List has been updated!”

In a long queue, a student who was idly browsing his data terminal suddenly exclaimed.

“What’s so surprising?”

“The Prodigy Ranking List updating, isn’t that normal?”

“At the end of every month, those monsters on the Prodigy Ranking List start fiercely competing for ranks. After all, every rank climbed significantly increases the rewards received.”

“You must be easily surprised, right? You’ll get used to it over time!”

“…”

Hearing that person’s words, many of the older students in the hall spoke up, feeling that the person was making a fuss over nothing.

“No…”

Hearing the words of the surrounding crowd, the student who had exclaimed couldn’t help but blush. He waved his hand somewhat flustered, explaining:

“No, I know they compete for ranks at the end of the month, but that’s not what surprised me.”

“It’s that there’s been a change in the top twenty of the Prodigy Ranking List.”

“What?”

At this, the surrounding crowd immediately exclaimed.

“A change in the top twenty?”

“That’s rare. The top twenty spots on the Prodigy Ranking List are mostly fixed; a change only occurs every few months.”

“At the end of every month, the most drastic rank changes are in the bottom thirty, especially the last ten ranks, which basically change several times a day in these last few days.”

Many people in the crowd said in surprise, and as they spoke, some even took out their data terminals and opened the forum to curiously check the Prodigy Ranking List.

However, this look left him dumbfounded.

“Holy crap!”

“What’s going on? Wang Chen made it into the top twenty?”

“Is this ranking fake?”

After a moment of stunned, this person let out a high-pitched exclamation, instantly causing everyone present to freeze.

Swish swish swish!!

The next second, everyone moved in unison, all picking up their data terminals and opening the school forum to check the situation.
