121: No...why are you sick again?

Shencheng Martial Arts University.

Because martial arts universities from various provinces and cities across the country, as well as spectators, had gathered, the school, originally twice the size of Lingnan City Martial Arts University, was now packed to the brim.

Looking from afar, it was a sea of people.

At the same time, the campus decorations were exceptionally festive.

In addition to the deafening fireworks, banners and colorful flags swayed gently in the wind.

“Compete for Friendship, Compete for Results!”

“Dare to Fight, Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win!”

“Glory is at Our Feet!”

“Martial Virtue Family Bucket, Wishing the National Exchange Competition a Perfection!”

“Crazy Thursday, Wishing all Students Success and Fame!”

...

The scene was bustling with noise and excitement.

Every time students from a provincial or city martial arts university participating in the competition got off the bus, it would cause the spectators on both sides of the road to scream wildly:

“Look quickly, it’s Liu Hanfeng from Shenzhen City! He’s a big favorite to win the championship!”

“Who said that?”

“My seventh uncle’s neighbor’s second aunt!”

“Wow! Iron Dome from Capital Wu Da! His muscles are bursting! I wish Heaven would give me such a strong man too.”

“Wait, aren’t you a man?”

“This is true love, you don’t understand a thing.”

“Hey, hey? Lingnan City Martial Arts University?”

“Damn, they still have the nerve to participate in the competition?”

The originally boisterous scene, comparable to celebrities walking the red carpet, instantly quieted down with the appearance of Lingnan City Martial Arts University.

It was as if a bustling market had suddenly stopped in time.

The human voices disappeared, the fireworks became silent, and even the wind stopped blowing.

But then, the Four-person Group of Zha Tian Gang each unfurled a large banner, with four big characters on the flag: Lingnan Martial Arts University!

Actually, for Lingnan City Martial Arts University to come to Shencheng for the National Exchange Competition, the journey wasn't far, so there should have been many students from their own school to cheer them on.

Even Principal Zhang had already rented a large bus.

The result was that other students from Lingnan City Martial Arts University all shook their heads, saying they wouldn't go.

The reason was simple: Shepherd Yin Hong.

Everyone knew in their Ming Mirror that going would only invite disdain, so why bother making themselves uncomfortable?

Therefore, only the entire Zha Tian Gang mobilized to form the cheerleading squad.

At this moment, everyone in the entire venue looked at Lingnan City Martial Arts University slowly walking by with strange gazes.

Even the other Martial Artists entering behind Lingnan City Martial Arts University stopped in their tracks, deliberately keeping their distance, afraid of being spat on their faces later.

For the Zha Tian Gang, this was a big scene, but also a small scene.

Although everyone in the entire venue was staring at the Lingnan City Martial Arts University team, Qi Chuanyu and the others didn't care at all.

One of the rules of the Zha Tian Gang was: shamelessness.

If you cared about your face, you would suffer at Shen Bei's hands.

If everyone was shameless, then they wouldn't care about other people's gazes.

Qi Chuanyu held the large flag, walking with his head held high and chest out.

Liao Zhongyang's face was like iron, his gaze firm.

Niu Yanben was a bit more cheerful, even baring his teeth and smiling at the spectators on both sides of the aisle.

Du Ziteng opened his WeChat QR code and kept asking among the crowds on both sides, “Want to add me on WeChat, Young Miss?”

“What kind of behavior is that! How dare you ask for my WeChat?”

The Young Miss harshly reprimanded him.

This ignited the powder keg of the onlookers.

Loud shouts and sounds of contempt rose and fell:

“Is this the disgraceful Lingnan City Martial Arts University?”

“Bah! They still have the nerve to participate in the competition! If it were me, I’d wish I could find a hole to crawl into!”

“Why keep this school? Just close it down! Bad people are teaching and educating, it’s simply a concentration camp for villains!”

“I’m embarrassed for you all.”

“Hetui! Looking across the entire country, Lingnan City Martial Arts University is truly unique! No wonder today’s Martial Artists are becoming more and more arrogant; people are just like their teachers!”

...

Harsh, sarcastic, abusive, contemptuous, accusatory, mocking…

The insults were incessant and lingered.

The onlookers at the scene verbally attacked Lingnan City Martial Arts University with malicious words.

But for the Zha Tian Gang, it all fell on deaf ears.

They walked, looked, laughed, and added WeChat contacts as usual.

Principal Zhang's mindset was a bit broken.

Although he had prepared himself mentally and knew he would be thoroughly cursed, when this moment arrived, his face still flushed, his blood rushed backward, and his eyes darkened.

He almost fainted.

He wanted to explain, but he didn't speak.

Such a mess was like yellow mud falling into his pants; it was impossible to explain clearly.

Principal Zhang slightly lowered his head and walked on in silence.

Professor Gu Xinrou and Jian Tong on the side had already broken down; the two girls covered their faces, not daring to show themselves.

As for Yu Qiuyi, she hadn't even entered Shencheng Martial Arts University; after getting off the bus, she went straight to her grandfather.

“Shen Bei, don’t feel any pressure. Just let these words be like wind in your ears.”

Principal Zhang spoke up, giving Shen Bei psychological counseling.

“Shen Bei?”

“Shen Bei?”

Principal Zhang turned his head and found that Shen Bei, who had been following him, was nowhere to be seen!

“Where is he?” Principal Zhang asked the Four-person Group of Zha Tian Gang in surprise.

Qi Chuanyu and the others all shook their heads: “We were walking in front, we didn’t see him at all.”

“Teacher Gu, did you see him?”

Professor Gu Xinrou gasped, her eyes flickering behind her hands: “I’ve been walking with my head down, I didn’t see him.”

Principal Zhang’s mouth twitched, and he gestured with his hands: “Then where is he! Where did such a big person go?”

Professor Gu Xinrou and Jian Tong exchanged glances; why did this scene feel somewhat familiar?

Professor Gu Xinrou slowly opened her mouth, her eyes twitching wildly: “No way… he…”

Jian Tong seemed to have guessed it too: “This, this…”

Professor Gu Xinrou grabbed Jian Tong’s waist and lifted her up: “Look around for any construction sites!”

With the heightened view, Jian Tong looked around and exclaimed, “There really is one! I see him! He’s moving bricks at the construction site.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s shoulders slumped in helplessness.

Even the Zha Tian Gang recalled the scene during the Martial Arts Exam.

That guy who was building scaffolding while taking the exam…

Principal Zhang was confused; he had no idea Shen Bei had such a strange habit.

“What’s going on? What construction site, what moving bricks?” Principal Zhang demanded.

Professor Gu Xinrou continued to cover her face with her hands: “Principal, you don’t need to worry about it. He’ll be back soon. Let’s go, let’s go quickly. It’s so embarrassing.”

Principal Zhang hummed and signaled the team to continue forward.

Wherever Lingnan City Martial Arts University went, there was a chorus of curses.

It was as if they had triggered a heavenly decree.

The curses made Principal Zhang’s blood pressure soar, and he took several quick-acting heart pills.

It was quite unbearable.

Finally, they walked out of the passage and entered the main venue, lining up below the rostrum.

Principal Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He had finally endured the embarrassing situation where the crowd was like a mob, just short of throwing rotten eggs and vegetables.

Just then, someone on the side greeted him: “Old Zhang, how have you been lately?”

Principal Zhang turned to look and exclaimed, “Oh, isn’t this Old Qin? I heard you’re getting a promotion, going to Capital Wu Da? Impressive, impressive!”

Principal Zhang quickly extended his hand, wanting to express respect and reverence.

But Old Qin just stood with his hands behind his back, smiling and saying, “Just a rumor. I feel quite good being the principal of Shen City Martial Arts University.”

Principal Zhang’s hands awkwardly hung in the air, and he chuckled: “Water flows to low places, people go to high places. You still have to strive for it.”

Old Qin smiled without warmth: “Yes, but going backward is not an option.”

Principal Zhang naturally understood Old Qin’s meaning and said with a bitter face: “I was also badly tricked.”

“You tricked our entire education industry.” Old Qin pointed his finger in the air, speaking in a stiff tone.

Principal Zhang sighed, no longer speaking.

Old Qin narrowed his eyes and continued: “To be honest with you, Old Zhang, I never thought you’d end up like this. Look at me, I have high hopes of being promoted to Capital Wu Da. And you, I’m afraid you’ll fall to being an elementary school principal, no, a kindergarten principal, perhaps not even that. A doorman is more like it. This is all your own doing.”

Principal Zhang remained silent.

No matter how unpleasant the words were, he had to listen.

Who told him to make mistakes?

He had to stand at attention when being reprimanded.

Old Qin continued: “To be frank with you, as long as my students win the championship in this National Exchange Competition, I will definitely be promoted to Capital Wu Da.”

Principal Zhang said, “Oh,” and cupped his hands: “Congratulations, congratulations.”

“It doesn’t look like you’re sincerely congratulating me.”

Principal Zhang sullenly returned to his team, not bothering to pay attention to Old Qin.

Although he was ridiculed and boasted to by Old Qin, it wasn't over yet.

Below the rostrum were teachers and students from various martial arts universities.

All their gazes were focused on the personnel of Lingnan City Martial Arts University.

Whispers came one after another…
