87: Little guy, are you willing to take me as your master?
On the Blazing Dragon University Plaza.
As the top two spots on the freshman ranking list were settled, the atmosphere on the plaza, after a brief silence, became lively once more.
Although many freshmen were deeply shocked by Wang Chen's terrifying strength, now that Wang Chen had left the stage, facing others, a fierce Battle Intent surged within their hearts.
I can't defeat Wang Chen, but I can defeat you all, can't I?
With this thought, freshmen quickly stepped onto the stage one after another, challenging those opponents who had rankings on the list.
And perhaps because of Wang Chen's previous battle, these freshmen fought quite fiercely among themselves, desperately showcasing themselves.
Although the battle scenes were not as shocking as Wang Chen's, compared to a complete Rolling (crushing defeat), their battles were much more exciting.
For a time, magic lights flickered on the arena, and the sounds of weapons clashing were incessant, drawing continuous cheers from the surrounding older students.
Everything seemed to be back on track.
However, none of this concerned Wang Chen for the time being.
Stepping off the arena, he had just stood still with Situ Yu when he was surrounded by teachers from the three major academies.
"Student Wang Chen, the ranking battle is over for you. Next is the time to choose your branch. Have you made a decision?"
The beautiful teacher from the Magic Academy spoke gracefully, with an expectant expression on her face.
"If you choose our Magic Academy, all the previous conditions are still valid, and in addition to that, our Magic Academy's Dean is willing to personally take you as a student."
"You should know, the Dean, he is a Seven-Turn strong practitioner!"
Seven-Turn?
Hearing the beautiful teacher's words, Wang Chen's eyes flickered.
These conditions were indeed generous!
A Seven-Turn strong practitioner ranks among the best in the entire Dragon Country; when assigned to a local area, he would be a high-ranking official, and if he went to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, he could become a Legion Commander of a legion.
Becoming a student of such a strong practitioner could be said to be a meteoric rise for ordinary people, with endless benefits.
And on the side, the surrounding teachers, hearing this, also showed some shock on their faces.
The Magic Academy was truly sparing no expense to win over Wang Chen!
"Student Wang Chen..."
Teacher Zhao of the Combat Academy, who had been observing this side and presiding over the arena battles, also couldn't sit still upon hearing this.
The Dean of the Magic Academy personally coming forward to take a disciple was simply unprincipled!!
"Based on your performance in the arena, I, Teacher Zhao, could tell that your path is completely incompatible with the Magic Academy. The Combat Academy is your best choice."
Teacher Zhao pushed through the crowd, grabbed Wang Chen's hand, and said earnestly:
"Moreover, don't listen to this woman's exaggerated talk. The Dean of the Magic Academy is usually elusive, spending very little time in school. Even if he takes you as a student, he won't have much time to personally teach you."
"Come to our Combat Academy! All the teachers of the Combat Academy are willing to tailor a growth plan for you, and at the same time, all Secret Realm Dungeons belonging to the Combat Academy are open to you for free!"
As Teacher Zhao finished speaking, Wang Chen's eyes immediately showed a flicker of interest.
This, it sounded quite good, and it seemed more realistic than the conditions proposed by the Magic Academy teacher.
Having a Seven-Turn strong practitioner as a teacher would only give him some intangible benefits, but free access to all Secret Realm Dungeons was a tangible benefit.
With Teacher Zhao's promise, at least for a period in the future, Wang Chen felt that he wouldn't need to worry about earning academic credits to enter Secret Realm Dungeons.
For a moment, he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
And around them, hearing the conditions proposed by the teachers of the Combat Academy and the Magic Academy, the teachers from the Support Academy looked at each other, their expressions somewhat troubled.
These two guys had set the conditions so high; even if they spared no expense, they couldn't compete!
One must know that among the three major academies of Blazing Dragon University, the Support Academy, due to its development direction, controlled the most resources among the three, but in terms of teaching strength, it had a considerable gap compared to the Combat Academy and the Magic Academy.
These two academies, one had its Dean personally taking a disciple, and the other had all its teachers joining forces.
Their Support Academy, it seemed, truly had nothing to offer right now except resources.
What to do?
The teachers of the Support Academy looked at each other, their expressions very troubled.
In recent years, although the three major academies were on equal footing, because the Support Academy was not good at combat, the students who chose to join each year were of mixed quality, which kept them in last place.
Now, with a Prodigy like Wang Chen right in front of them, they really didn't want to give up.
But what conditions could they offer to attract Wang Chen?
The teachers of the Support Academy were extremely troubled in their hearts.
But soon...
They no longer needed to be troubled.
Buzz buzz buzz!!
A powerful force suddenly descended upon the plaza.
The next second, the crowd surrounding Wang Chen were involuntarily pushed back by a force.
Immediately after, a figure appeared before everyone.
"Dean!"
Seeing this figure appear, the puzzled teachers quickly bowed in salute, their faces filled with awe.
Hearing the words of the people around him, Wang Chen, who was in a dilemma, was also startled and quickly followed suit.
The Dean of Blazing Dragon University is named Lin Feng, a super strong practitioner who has reached Eight-Turn, capable of shaking the entire Dragon Country with a stomp of his foot!
How did such a prominent figure suddenly appear?
After respectfully greeting him, Wang Chen secretly sized up the newcomer.
Dean Lin Feng had a square face, a gentle demeanor, and was about forty years old. On the surface, he looked ordinary, no different from a common middle-aged man.
As Wang Chen was observing, his gaze suddenly met a gaze that was half-smiling.
"Little fellow, you're quite bold!"
"If you want to look, look openly. Being secretive is too petty!"
Dean Lin Feng looked at Wang Chen with a smile, his tone somewhat playful.
Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the Howling Moon Silver Wolf cub, the giant beast rewarded by the school, was apparently a descendant of Dean Lin Feng's Divine Beast pet.
"I gave the Howling Moon Silver Wolf to Situ Yu. Dean, he wouldn't be here to settle scores, would he?"
Thinking silently in his heart, Wang Chen felt both awkward and a little uneasy.
Sure enough,
The next second, he heard Dean Lin Feng's half-smiling voice.
"To be able to readily give away a Divine Beast-level Howling Moon Silver Wolf, such a generous person, I have truly never seen in my life."
Dean Lin Feng looked at Wang Chen with a playful glint in his eyes, and said calmly:
"Little fellow, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Wang Chen, who was preparing to come up with some excuse, couldn't help but be stunned.
Take him as a teacher?
This development seemed a bit off!
