90: Get out of the way, it's my turn to show off in front of others

Shen Bei stood up!

Everyone's gaze in the entire venue turned to Shen Bei.

At this moment, Shen Bei, though standing in the dim alleyway, had his face covered in coal dust, making him unrecognizable.

But as this thick, imposing, mountain-like figure entered their sight, in everyone's eyes, he shone with a brilliant, extremely dazzling light!

At this moment, Shen Bei's eyes were bright and his body stood tall, as if supporting this heaven and earth.

He stood with his hands behind his back, accepting the reverent gazes of the crowd.

"I am Shen Bei."

This simple self-introduction exploded like thunder in everyone's ears.

Others might not have recognized who it was.

But Yu Hao, Xiao Ying, and Wang Ye, who were present, heard it clearly!

Yu Hao, of course, didn't need to be told; he had had a conflict with Shen Bei just a few days ago.

He would recognize Shen Bei even if he were turned to ashes.

A thick gloom emerged in his heart, and his brows furrowed deeply. He refused to believe, even if it killed him, that the Martial Artist who suppressed the underground lair was his enemy, Shen Bei!

Yu Hao's molars were about to shatter, and his hatred for Shen Bei infinitely intensified.

Anyone else could steal the limelight, anyone else could take credit, he didn't care.

But only Shen Bei!

Every achievement Shen Bei made only highlighted his own incompetence!

Jian Tong would be even more attracted to Shen Bei.

At this moment, Yu Hao seemed to see Jian Tong throwing herself into Shen Bei's arms, cuddling together, and even kissing to show affection.

Ah~~~

Yu Hao was going crazy; this cuckoldry was so hateful!

His eyes instantly turned blood red, and the more he looked at Shen Bei, the more he was filled with loathing.

In his mind, Shen Bei was the great villain in a novel, and he himself was the protagonist.

But as the protagonist, he would never utter clichés like "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Because Yu Hao believed he was the protagonist of a 'feel-good' story!

"It's time to make my move and get some satisfaction. I'll give Shen Bei an early demise!" Yu Hao mused.

His gaze at Shen Bei was like a tiger's, an eagle's, a jackal's, a leopard's.

Xiao Ying and Wang Ye had previously assisted Gu Changfeng in capturing You Wuchang, although in the end, it didn't involve them much.

But both of them remembered Shen Bei's voice!

Xiao Ying and Wang Ye exchanged glances, both discerning extreme shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

They were not just surprised and astonished; they were utterly trembling with fear!

It's him!

It's definitely Shen Bei from the Martial Arts University!

Damn it, last time when capturing You Wuchang, it didn't involve me because of Shen Bei.

This time, suppressing the underground lair, it still didn't involve me, and it was again because of Shen Bei!

"Holy crap! How is this guy everywhere?" Xiao Ying mumbled softly.

Wang Ye sniffed, his voice even lower: "Martial Artists as excellent as us are simply overshadowed by his halo."

Xiao Ying's mouth twitched: "Don't flatter yourself, excellent my ass!"

...

At this moment.

Shen Bei's face was covered in black coal dust, but this did not hinder Liao Jianguo, Director from expressing his respect for Shen Bei.

"Hello, hello, I am Liao Jianguo, Director, the director of the Earthquake Detection Bureau."

Liao Jianguo, Director tightly grasped Shen Bei's hand with both of his, shaking it vigorously, and continued with a look of pleasant surprise: "Thank you for your contribution to the country! It's truly astonishing. One person actually suppressed an underground lair; if word gets out, it will become a legend!"

Shen Bei, however, was modest: "You flatter me. It was really just good luck. I killed a Leader, which deterred the other Otherworlders, and that's why there wasn't a large-scale invasion."

But Liao Jianguo, Director still had a look of prolonged shock: "That's still incredibly powerful! Although it was a first-level earthquake, the Leader must have been a second-tier Otherworlder, right? Then you must be a Third-Rank Martial Artist!"

Shen Bei hummed and said: "To be honest, I am a First-Rank Martial Artist."

Boom!!!

When the words "First-Rank Martial Artist" were spoken.

Not only Liao Jianguo, Director, but also the mine leader and Principal Zhang were collectively stunned.

Li Quanyou and the other students present also had expressions of lingering fear, their eyes trembling.

The student Martial Artists couldn't help but exclaim:

"What! A First-Rank Martial Artist?"

"Hiss~~~ Did I hear that right? A First-Rank Martial Artist killed so many Vicious Beasts and still had the stamina to fight an Alien Leader?"

"Killing opponents above one's rank isn't a new thing, after all, surface attributes and true attributes can differ, but Shen Bei's Battle Intent and experience, it's as if he's emerged from a sea of blood, isn't it?"

"Why do I have a sense of a top-tier low-level character in an online game? It's truly unbelievable!"

"Awesome! Don't even talk about me suppressing an underground lair; I'd find even killing Vicious Beasts disgusting, but this guy seems to do it like it's an everyday meal."

"Respectable! This Shen Bei is definitely a societal Martial Artist, with extremely high practical combat experience."

...

After a series of heartfelt praises and compliments, Shen Bei's face turned a little red.

Shen Bei really wanted to say, classmates, I'm actually your junior...

At this moment, Liao Jianguo, Director was truly shocked wave after wave.

From misunderstanding Li Quanyou as the one who suppressed the underground lair, to Shen Bei being the main force, and then to his Martial Artist rank.

Too many twists!

Liao Jianguo, Director took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions, and said: "A certain big shot once said, 'It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.' This is absolutely the most accurate description when applied to you."

"So, Mr. Shen Bei, where do you work? I'm going to poach a talent like you!"

Shen Bei replied calmly: "Me? I'm still a freshman at Lingnan City Martial Arts University."

Boom!!!!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone present was no longer calm.

Liao Jianguo, Director's mouth twitched, his eyeballs nearly bursting.

A student from Lingnan City Martial Arts University?

The mine leader staggered back two steps, staring at Shen Bei in disbelief.

A student? Then how do you have such rich combat experience?

Li Quanyou exclaimed "Holy crap!" and fell to the ground with a thud.

Good heavens! The temporary worker I hired, not only is he a Martial Artist, but he's also a student?

The other student Martial Artists' gazes twisted, each with their mouths wide open, big enough to fit a two-and-a-half-year-old!

Shock! After all the analysis, Shen Bei turns out to be our junior?

Especially Principal Zhang, who suspected he was hallucinating.

He kept picking at his ears, asking the student next to him: "What did that Shen Bei just say?"

The surrounding students immediately roared:

"He said he's a student at Lingnan City Martial Arts University!"

"And he's a freshman, damn it!"

"My goodness! How is this possible!"

"We sophomores rushed over anxiously, only to be scooped by a junior?"

"Wait a minute... freshman, Shen Bei... isn't that this year's Champion!"

"Holy crap, he's so fierce!"

...

Principal Zhang slapped himself several times.

He grimaced in pain, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Only then did he confirm that he wasn't hallucinating.

Shen Bei was indeed this year's Lingnan City Martial Arts University Champion, Shen Bei!

"A turning point! A turning point!"

Principal Zhang trembled with excitement.

Who would have thought that the Martial Artist with the black face, unrecognizable, who single-handedly suppressed the underground lair and emerged from a sea of blood and mountains of corpses, was actually a student from his own school!

In a daze, Principal Zhang suddenly saw a beam of light shining, which was countless resources and materials filling the school's resource library!

Principal Zhang almost lost his footing; the pleasant surprise came too quickly, he couldn't quite handle it.

He tottered, taking three steps in two, and grabbed Shen Bei's shoulders with both hands.

His eyes filled with disbelief and ecstasy, he shouted excitedly:

"Shen Bei!"

Shen Bei's expression remained unmoved, steady as a mountain, thinking to himself: How are you going to praise me? Come on, praise me more! I, Shen Bei, can handle it!

Principal Zhang's voice rose, and he shouted again:

"You damn skipped class!"

Shen Bei: ...
