89: Who is the great hero Shen Bei?

Originally, the student Martial Artists outside the tunnel were all terrified and panicked at the unknown Vicious Beast.

Their faces were almost all pale.

They were afraid that after the tunnel was dug open, Liao Jianguo, Director and Principal Zhang would call on them to be the first to charge in.

As it turned out, Liao Jianguo, Director had some sense of responsibility; he would personally take the lead in this charge.

Liao Jianguo, Director had set up his defensive stance and was ready to fight for his life.

But then…

Inside the tunnel, apart from a direct beam of light from a mining lamp, there wasn't a single Vicious Beast!

This left Liao Jianguo, Director utterly bewildered.

The promised Vicious Beast invasion, the promised fierce decisive battle—poof, all gone?

However…

There was indeed a strong smell of blood at the scene.

Liao Jianguo, Director's mind went blank instantly.

He stood there in a daze for a long time.

He looked at the miners gathered to one side, and the scattered Vicious Beast corpses not far away.

Some were disemboweled, some had their heads smashed in, others were torn limb from limb. Liao Jianguo, Director shivered all over, his expression greatly shocked, his eyes wide, speechless.

All of this indicated that the Vicious Beast was in this tunnel, but for some reason, the Vicious Beast had been suppressed!

“Hey, hey! Stop chatting, the rescue team is here!”

Li Quanyou shouted, and only then did everyone turn their heads to see that the collapsed tunnel had been dug open.

Several laborers almost cried.

First a collapse, then a Vicious Beast invasion—this broken work was too thrilling.

And the first to cry were the two Vicious Beast victims.

They were practically snot and tears, hugging Liao Jianguo, Director and weeping, recounting their troubles.

At this moment, the student Martial Artists, Principal Zhang, and mining leaders from outside also rushed in.

They saw scattered flesh on the ground, large patches of blood still dripping from the ceiling, like a slaughterhouse.

It was incredibly bloody, with various Vicious Beasts in gruesome states. As hothouse flowers, they had never experienced such a visual Impact.

Some students fainted on the spot.

More student Martial Artists began to vomit uncontrollably.

Only a few student Martial Artists could still stand by leaning against the wall.

The students were all in a state of extreme shock and astonishment, and they couldn't help but exclaim:

“Holy crap! Are we too late?”

“You scared me to death, I thought there would be an abnormal fierce battle, I even prepared my last words, it’s good that nothing happened now.”

“Hiss~~~ As far as I know, every time an earthquake occurs and Vicious Beasts invade, dozens to hundreds, even thousands of Martial Artists go to suppress them in the country, but now there are only a few miners…”

“Is this something miners can do?”

“It’s incredible, there must be a Da Shouzi among them, but their faces are all covered in coal dust, so I can’t recognize them.”

“Respect, they deserve our respect.”

…

The students chattered, their tense expressions relaxing.

Although they couldn't make out the faces of the few miners, they were still in the mood to chat, which meant the Vicious Beast incident was completely over.

Shock was inevitable.

With less than 10 people—no, it should be 8, the other two were rescued Vicious Beast victims!

Too awesome!

Who exactly is this Da Shouzi?

They wished they could admire his esteemed appearance.

At this moment, Principal Zhang's heart was churning with turbulent waves, his eyes filled only with extreme shock, horror, and disbelief, almost losing his composure as he roared, “What is going on?!”

Liao Jianguo, Director suddenly gasped, pushed the two victims away, and asked, “Are our Diaobingshan Coal Mine's recruitment standards so high? These few Martial Artists suppressed the Vicious Beast?”

Liao Jianguo, Director's suspicion was the most fully justified.

The tunnel was blocked, with no outside assistance, which could only mean that the miners themselves suppressed it!

And the mining leader swallowed, his voice distorted, “Li Quanyou! Is that you? Li Quanyou? I remember you are a First-Rank Martial Artist! And the other laborers are temporary workers you recruited from the Labor Market, they couldn't possibly be Martial Artists, and Martial Artists wouldn't go down the mine to do such dirty and tiring work!”

As soon as the name Li Quanyou was uttered.

Everyone present was once again twisted with shock.

The student Martial Artists' confidence and pride suffered an unprecedented blow, even feeling a genuine sense of horror, their eyes filled with deep shock.

They exclaimed again:

“What? A First-Rank Martial Artist?”

“A Rank One earthquake can bring out Rank Two Yiren and Vicious Beasts, Li Quanyou killed them all, that's amazing!”

“The power of one man, the power of one man! Soaring high!”

“Indeed, there is always someone better, Li Quanyou must be like the Sweeping Monk in Wuxia novels, his strength unknown, growing stronger when faced with a stronger opponent!”

“The country has five Ranks of merit for Martial Artists, he should at least get a Third Class Merit!”

…

At this moment, Principal Zhang was extremely disappointed.

Li Quanyou suppressed the Vicious Beast alone, taking all the credit.

The Martial Arts University essentially ran a pointless errand!

Heartache.

Just thinking about the lost credit made his heart ache!

As if he had missed out on several hundred million.

And Li Quanyou stood up, looking confused, facing the mining leader, stammering.

The mining leader laughed heartily, patted his shoulder, and said, “I was right about you! If I hadn't single-handedly overruled everyone and let you contract this tunnel excavation project, who knows how many people would have died. Your contribution is too great!”

“Let me put it this way, from now on, whatever coal mine project you want to contract, just say it, and I'll approve it directly for you!”

“Leader… I…”

Li Quanyou felt his face flush with embarrassment at the others' flattery.

He did participate in the Vicious Beast suppression.

But he was spat blood in the very first round.

It had nothing to do with him at all.

Good heavens.

These people immediately jumped to conclusions, praising him so much, almost describing him as a God of War.

Isn't this just slapping his own face! At this moment, Li Quanyou wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Li Quanyou really couldn't hold it in anymore and directly revealed the whole truth: “Actually… actually, none of this has anything to do with me.”

“Hmm?” Liao Jianguo, Director's expression changed, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “If not you, then who? You're the only Martial Artist here, don't tell me the laborers smashed the Vicious Beasts to pieces with their fists.”

“It's really, really not me, it's—”

“Stop pretending, it's you!”

Li Quanyou took a breath and shouted, “It was a Martial Artist named Shen Bei who suppressed it alone!”

As soon as the name Shen Bei was uttered.

Everyone present was confused.

There's such a hidden story?

The mining leader and Liao Jianguo, Director were bewildered.

Who is Shen Bei?

They didn't recognize him at all.

But Principal Zhang had a blank look on his face.

Shen Bei?

That name sounds so familiar.

There's also a student named Shen Bei at the Martial Arts University, and he's this year's Martial Arts Champion.

But he's only a freshman, still studying at school right now.

Principal Zhang looked down at Yu Hao and said, “You're familiar with Shen Bei, right?”

“I'm quite familiar with Shen Bei at school.”

At the mention of Shen Bei, Yu Hao looked annoyed; he was a love rival!

He clenched his fists, wishing he could go back and issue a life-and-death challenge to Shen Bei, openly eliminating him.

To make Jian Tong give up and return to his embrace.

He gritted his teeth and continued, “However, the Shen Bei Li Quanyou mentioned must be a namesake; how could Shen Bei have such abilities?”

Principal Zhang nodded, but also felt a sense of loss in his heart.

He wished so much that the Shen Bei Li Quanyou mentioned was Shen Bei, the Champion of the Martial Arts University.

If so, this credit for Lingnan City Martial Arts University would be incredibly dazzling.

Just think, there are only a few people in the whole country who can suppress a Vicious Beast alone!

But Principal Zhang knew this was impossible.

Shen Bei was still a student, still attending school.

It was even less likely that he would skip class to do odd jobs.

One, it would be beneath him, and two, in the school's attendance records, no student was absent; all were present.

At this moment, Liao Jianguo, Director, with deep puzzlement and suspicion, looked at the other laborers, his tone accompanied by respect, and asked:

“Which of you is the great hero Shen Bei?”

Shen Bei heard this…

And stood up.
