115: Is there anyone who disagrees with Shen Bei participating in the competition?

On the way to Qi Chuanyu's dorm.

Shen Bei brought up his daily settlement panel:

["Yesterday's settlement rewards are as follows:"]

["Completed Shepherd's bounty mission: Gained +350,000 in money, +50% electrical resistance."]

"Huh?"

Shen Bei was a bit dumbfounded.

What the heck, that's it?

Is this reasonable?

However, thinking about it, Director Zheng was the main force against Yin Hong yesterday.

He almost stomped him to death.

If Yin Hong's accomplices hadn't interfered, there really wouldn't have been much for him to do.

After all, he hadn't used any martial force, so this settlement reward was quite normal.

"One hundred percent electrical resistance is also a good thing."

Shen Bei felt a bit relieved; at least he no longer feared any lightning damage.

"Jian Tong must be crying her eyes out?"

Shen Bei grinned.

She'll have to cry in the future.

However, Shen Bei was a bit confused about the bonus.

The total amount given by the patrol office was 800,000.

350,000 was the bounty for Shepherd.

50,000 was the bonus for the mission of monitoring the Apocalypse Cult.

Where did the other 400,000 come from?

"Could the finance department have pressed the wrong number?"

Shen Bei couldn't be bothered to think; as long as it was given, he would accept it with a clear conscience.

Soon.

Shen Bei arrived at the entrance of Qi Chuanyu's dorm and heard several people arguing inside.

Qi Chuanyu: "Do you know how to play Landlord? Niu Liu played 3-4-5-6-7, and you always played 10 to A to cover it!"

Du Ziteng: "I don't have a K."

Before Shen Bei even entered the door, a demonic and strange melody echoed in his mind.

He entered the door.

The first thing he saw was Liao Zhongyang still sleeping in.

A trace of glistening drool hung from his mouth; he didn't know if he was dreaming of a charming girl or a mighty strong man.

"You're here." Qi Chuanyu waved: "Want to play a round? Du Ziteng's card skills are like a rotten egg thrown into my fourth aunt's pickled cabbage jar."

Du Ziteng, enraged, directly flipped the table and cursed: "You talk so easily! Are your card skills any good?"

"Why aren't mine good? Ask Niu Yanben, are my card skills good or not?"

Niu Yanben coughed: "Not really."

Qi Chuanyu: "..."

Qi Chuanyu shouted: "Liao Zhongyang, stop sleeping! Kaiyuan City is going to challenge Changtu County! Get up and join the fight!"

Liao Zhongyang woke up, looking bewildered, smacked his lips, pulled the covers over his head, and went back to sleep.

Then, the three began a cursing match.

The screen was full of sensitive and censored words, as if they had given birth to a child.

Shen Bei's ears buzzed from the noise.

Shen Bei pressed his hands down: "Stop, stop, stop. If your strength was even half of your cursing ability, you'd be invincible by now."

Qi Chuanyu: "..."

Niu Yanben: "..."

Du Ziteng: "..."

Shen Bei took out his phone, not wasting any time: "Come on, give me your QR codes. The mission bonus just arrived, I'll divide it among you."

Qi Chuanyu let out a surprised "Oh": "Really? Gu Changfeng said yesterday that we didn't complete the mission."

"Oh." Shen Bei put his phone in his pocket and said nonchalantly: "I misremembered. It was a bonus from another mission."

Qi Chuanyu: "???"

"This isn't fun anymore." Qi Chuanyu's face darkened.

Although Qi Chuanyu wasn't short on money, Shen Bei couldn't just not give it to him.

In the end, Shen Bei still gave each person 10,000.

It was exactly an equal share of the mission bonus.

"Even split? That's decent." Niu Yanben looked at the transfer record: "Though I didn't really do anything, heh."

Qi Chuanyu massaged his forehead, giving Niu Yanben a look of disdain.

He should have kept such thoughts to himself, why say them out loud?

How embarrassing!

Just then.

There was a knock on the dorm door.

Several strangers walked in.

One of them, a man in a suit with a deep aura and calm eyes, subtly exuding a hint of dominance, showed his work ID. He was from the Martial Arts Management Bureau.

"Who is Liao Zhongyang?"

Liao Zhongyang poked his head out from under the covers: "I am. Who are you?"

"Lin Xiu from the Shenyin City Martial Arts Management Bureau." His tone was flat, devoid of emotion, and he continued: "Are you Yin Hong's student?"

"Yes." Liao Zhongyang nodded.

"Get dressed and come with us. We have some questions for you."

Liao Zhongyang was somewhat flustered, looking at Shen Bei for help: "Shen Bei..."

Shen Bei nodded: "It's fine. Go."

Only then did Liao Zhongyang get out of bed to get dressed.

Lin Xiu then turned to look at Shen Bei.

He scrutinized Shen Bei up and down, left and right.

He asked curiously: "Are you Shen Bei?"

"That's me." Shen Bei acknowledged.

Lin Xiu chuckled: "Not bad. If you were in another Earth-Grade city's school, you might have reached a higher level."

Shen Bei shrugged.

A higher level?

He couldn't.

Without Teacher Gu Xinrou making false attendance records as cover, his academic credits would have been deducted long ago, and he might even have been forced to drop out.

Then he would have no connection with Martial Skills, unless he joined the Apocalypse Cult or the Headhunter Tribe.

After Liao Zhongyang was taken away, the dorm returned to quiet.

Qi Chuanyu asked, somewhat stunned: "What exactly happened?"

Shen Bei recounted the events of last night from beginning to end.

After listening, the three of them almost had their eyes pop out.

"What! Yin Hong is a member of the Headhunter Tribe?"

"The source is contaminated, heh!"

"This... Liao Zhongyang won't be implicated, will he?"

Shen Bei shook his head: "That big fool would never understand Yin Hong's PUA, so he'll definitely be fine."

Qi Chuanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Within the Zha Tian Gang, Shen Bei was neutral and helped no one.

Niu Yanben and Du Ziteng were from Kaiyuan City.

They already had a grudge against him.

If Liao Zhongyang was out, he'd be left alone. Niu Yanben hadn't helped with the internal competition either.

Shen Bei said: "These are small problems. The biggest problem is that all the students Yin Hong taught, who have already entered society, or are in Provincial Capital Martial Arts University or Capital Wu Da, will have to undergo scrutiny."

"It's a complete uprooting, a thorough investigation going back more than ten years..."

Qi Chuanyu and the others gasped.

Thinking about it, it was truly terrifying.

If someone was in a position, in competition with an opponent, and happened to be a student taught by Yin Hong, with that label placed on them...

Even if there were no issues, they would still be rejected.

At this moment, the few of them leaned on the windowsill, watching personnel from the school's Education Bureau and Martial Arts Management Bureau entering and exiting the office building.

Those students who belonged to Teacher Yin Hong were also summoned, waiting to be questioned and investigated.

Teachers were also lined up, holding their materials and self-criticism reports, waiting for verification.

At this moment, Du Ziteng pointed at a strange woman with a grin: "Look, is that someone from the Martial Arts Management Bureau? She looks like a motorcycle fitted with Optimus Prime's extra-large headlights, making my eyes dizzy."

Qi Chuanyu and Niu Yanben also craned their necks, their eyes gleaming as they looked over, emitting sounds of awe.

Shen Bei was also startled.

The woman had a slender figure, but that thing was out of proportion!

She was truly blessed by the heavens.

"I'm a little moved." Du Ziteng smacked his lips.

Shen Bei and the others gave Du Ziteng a strange look.

Qi Chuanyu gave him a disdainful glance: "You can't drive at all, you can't handle it."

Niu Yanben snorted, and even more boastfully said: "You're just moved? My bottom is moving, heh."

Shen Bei rubbed his chin: "I think this woman is at least 30 years old. What kind of strange fetish do you guys have? Driving a big car is skilled driving, but driving a classic car is a special fetish."

Du Ziteng waved his hand, saying with an extremely firm attitude: "What do you know? Young and ignorant of the charms of older women, mistaking young girls for treasures. I don't want to take the long way."

"Then she has a lot of past." Shen Bei said.

Du Ziteng slapped the windowsill, uttering a truly explosive famous quote: "A man who will succeed in the future should marry a woman with a past!"

Shen Bei shivered upon hearing this.

Damn it.

What kind of monsters are these in the Zha Tian Gang?

They're practically the waiting room of a mental hospital.

...

While Lingnan City Martial Arts University was undergoing investigation, Shen Bei wasn't idle either.

He hid in the basement, researching another Move of Seven Stars Fist: Shooting Star Sweeping Tail.

This was a Martial Skill similar to shooting projectiles.

But it required a hardcore prerequisite: there must be True Qi in the body.

And Shen Bei had already learned True Qi through the Indestructible Golden Light.

It was practically a seamless connection.

To practice Shooting Star Sweeping Tail, Shen Bei specifically went to an off-campus store to exchange a lot of coins.

As projectiles, coins weren't the best choice; a small knife would have been even better.

But coins had an advantage: convenience...

Shen Bei focused True Qi in his fingers, constantly flicking coins.

A few days of practice allowed Shen Bei to initially grasp the technique of this Move.

The coins moved faster and faster, and their power also increased.

"I can also attack from a distance now?"

At this moment, Shen Bei held several coins in his hand and flicked them back.

Accelerated by True Qi, they embedded directly into the steel plate in the basement!

Puff, puff, puff...

With continuous flicking, the steel plate became like wood, riddled with holes from the coins.

However, Shen Bei wasn't too concerned about this Move; it was far from the adrenaline rush and extreme violent aesthetics of fist-to-flesh combat.

"Better than nothing, I guess."

...

A few days later, the investigation by the Education Bureau and the Martial Arts Management Bureau at Lingnan City Martial Arts University officially concluded.

Except for one or two students who were taken away for re-education, everyone else was safe and sound.

As for what would happen to those outside the school who had been taught by Yin Hong, that was beyond what Lingnan City Martial Arts University could oversee.

After the Martial Arts University's teaching resumed normalcy.

Yin Hong's former students were assigned to other teachers.

Professor Gu Xinrou thought some students would voluntarily join her class.

But not a single one came.

She was so angry that she complained in the principal's office for an hour.

Principal Zhang had been physically and mentally exhausted these days, complaining endlessly: "Teacher Gu, your current task is to wholeheartedly assist Shen Bei. The National Exchange Competition is coming soon, so don't get distracted."

Professor Gu Xinrou rolled her eyes.

Assist Shen Bei?

Don't joke.

Aside from theoretical knowledge, when it came to Cultivating, he could be her teacher.

Professor Gu Xinrou really wanted a few students to improve her teaching level.

Practice makes perfect, after all.

Principal Zhang gestured with his hand: "We'll talk about assigning students later. The most important issue now is that I want Shen Bei to participate in the competition, but one student seems unconvinced and wants to challenge him."

Professor Gu Xinrou raised an eyebrow.

There are still students who are unconvinced by Shen Bei?

It's truly like a frog at the bottom of a well seeing the outside world for the first time, an eye-opener.

Professor Gu Xinrou asked: "Which student is it?"
