19: Chapter 19 Ten Million Yuan Bodyguard Fee! The Only Son from No. 3 Middle School!

After unplugging the connection cable, Lin Feng had barely sat back in his seat when the students from No. 3 High School swarmed around him.

"Lin Feng! Why didn't you reveal your Tier 3 trump card?"

"Yeah, exactly! If you had released that Tier 3 boss, you definitely could've rubbed City No.1 High School into the dirt!"

Faced with the chatter of his classmates, Lin Feng could only shrug helplessly.

"Go away, go away! Stop making such a fuss! This is what you call holding back an ace, get it?" Tang You snorted, dispersing the surrounding crowd, and then casually sat down next to Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, let me give you a heads-up." Tang You leaned in close and lowered her voice, "The guy ranked first at City No.1 High School most likely has a dragon in his hand."

"A dragon?" Lin Feng frowned, "How do you know that?"

"Ahem! Trade secret, get it?" Tang You blinked, "But from what I understand, it should only be a Tier 3 dragon."

"Alright, got it. Thanks." Lin Feng nodded, not asking any further.

The Tang Family was wealthy and powerful, and with her father being the richest man and the president of the Tang Family Chamber of Commerce, it wasn't strange that she was well-informed.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that?" Seeing the indifferent expression on Lin Feng's face, Tang You was instantly unhappy, her cheeks puffing out like a little pufferfish, which actually looked quite cute.

"This young lady kindly brings you intelligence, and you don't care at all. You deserve to be single for the rest of your life!"

"Ahem... focus on the match." Lin Feng's face flushed, and he quickly changed the subject.

...

The morning schedule continued to progress.

Not long after, Gu Ze took the stage.

His opponent was an ordinary student from City No. 6 High School, and he secured the victory without much effort.

Tang You's opponent wasn't very strong either, and she also advanced easily.

Only Chu Yun had terrible luck.

He drew a tough character from City No.1 High School and was eliminated without any suspense.

"Brothers, I've let you all down!" After Chu Yun returned, he looked like a wilted eggplant.

Losing a fight isn't scary; whoever loses is the one who's embarrassed.

Among the four-person squad, he was the only one eliminated, which was truly embarrassing.

Because the opponent was simply too strong, it was completely impossible to fight.

"Don't take it to heart. Isn't there the team competition this afternoon? We'll carry you to victory then." Gu Ze patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

It took the entire morning to finish the first round of the individual competition.

Half of the one hundred participants were eliminated immediately.

No. 3 High School had five people eliminated.

Lin Feng had been sitting under the stage, observing silently.

He had to admit that the overall caliber of City No.1 High School was indeed formidable.

Except for Lu Yu, whom he had taken out himself, the other nine had all advanced.

However, after looking around, he didn't see any sign of a dragon.

Either Tang You's intelligence was incorrect, or the opponent was holding back a big move, just like him.

After the first round of the individual competition, there was a two-hour break before continuing in the afternoon.

During the break, everyone could go get a meal to relax.

Lin Feng originally intended to grab a quick bite around the plaza, but Tang You took the initiative to offer to treat him.

"Someone's treating? Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ze and Chu Yun were immediately energized.

Tang You rolled her eyes in annoyance: "You two go cool off somewhere else. This young lady is treating Student Lin alone today."

Treating him alone?

Both of them were full of envy, then they heavily patted Lin Feng on the back: "Brother, eat plenty!"

Lin Feng was speechless.

Getting into a luxury hover car, the two soon arrived at the top-tier seven-star hotel in Xinghai City.

Unsurprisingly, this building was also a property of the Tang Family.

Pushing open the door to the top-floor private room, a middle-aged man in a suit was already sitting in the main seat, waiting.

"Lin Feng, let me formally introduce you. This is my dad, Tang Tianchen." Tang You said with a smile.

Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly.

This was the president of the Chamber of Commerce he had seen on the high platform that morning, a genuine Tier 6 Deity.

The moment he stepped into the private room, Lin Feng clearly felt a strange fluctuation scan over his body.

He couldn't say exactly what kind of method it was.

"Hello, little brother Lin Feng, please sit anywhere."

The middle-aged man greeted him gently.

There was absolutely no air of a Tier 6 powerhouse about him, nor did he release any sense of oppression.

"Thank you, Uncle Tang." Lin Feng pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I heard from Xiao You that you have a Tier 3 auxiliary divine beast hidden in your hand?" Tang Tianchen picked up his teacup and asked, seemingly casually.

Why ask about this? Lin Feng frowned slightly.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I wouldn't do something as shameful as forced buying or selling." Tang Tianchen saw through Lin Feng's concerns at a glance and waved his hand with a smile, "That girl was ignorant before; don't take it to heart."

Immediately after, Tang Tianchen flipped his palm and pushed a crystal-clear storage crystal to the middle of the table.

"Inside this is ten million drops of divine power." Tang Tianchen's tone was very flat.

Ten million!

Although Lin Feng appeared as steady as an old dog on the surface, his heart was already beginning to churn.

"What do you want me to do?"

Lin Feng absolutely did not believe there was any such thing as a free lunch in the world.

"Just look after Xiao You a bit more often." Tang Tianchen smiled and pushed the crystal a bit closer.

As long as he absorbed this stone, his divine power balance would instantly skyrocket by ten million.

"It's that simple?"

"Protect her well, and by the way, be a spokesperson for the Tang Family Chamber of Commerce. It's that simple." Tang Tianchen added another sentence.

"Dad, I'm so strong, why would I need anyone else to protect me!" Tang You was unhappy and pouted in protest.

"This..."

Lin Feng still found it strange, "You are a dignified Tier 6 Deity; surely you wouldn't be looking for a high school student like me to be a bodyguard?"

Tang Tianchen shook his head.

"In Xinghai City, I can naturally cover for her. But later, when she goes to the Imperial Capital and enters the highest institution, my reach won't be that long."

The highest institution in the Alliance's Imperial Capital was the holy land that all deities in the country dreamed of.

Every year, it only recruited a mere three thousand people nationwide, and the threshold was ridiculously high.

Tang Tianchen's words were equivalent to directly asserting that Lin Feng and Tang You would definitely be able to get in.

"Is President Tang so certain that I can get an admission letter?" Lin Feng laughed at himself, "Besides, as a student with no background, how can I be the face of the Tang Family Chamber of Commerce?"

"An ordinary student is certainly not qualified." Tang Tianchen put down his teacup, "But what if it's the national champion of the Ten-School Joint Exam?"

This old fox actually put the hat of the national champion directly on his head.

The strange scanning fluctuation from when he entered the door flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

Damn!

He definitely got played!

Seeing Lin Feng's expression change, Tang Tianchen knew his little trick had been seen through.

"Ahem!"

He coughed twice to resolve the awkwardness: "The combat power scanner newly developed by the Chamber of Commerce can only measure the approximate overall value; it can't check what specific troop type or level it is at all."

Tang Tianchen hadn't put on airs from beginning to end, which made Lin Feng's internal resistance decrease significantly.

"Deal."

Lin Feng nodded decisively, grabbed the crystal on the table, and absorbed it.

His account balance instantly skyrocketed by ten million!

Since he had the strength, he should monetize it.

Principal Qin was right; the one million champion prize money was just a fraction, the real big money was in the attention and investment of these super powers.

...

After eating and drinking his fill, the two took a car back to the plaza.

"Lin Feng, I really didn't know my dad would put a scanner at the entrance security checkpoint, I'm sorry!" In the car carriage, Tang You was full of apologies.

"It's fine, your dad is actually quite generous." Lin Feng waved his hand, indicating it was nothing at all.

The afternoon schedule was arranged very tightly.

In the second match, Lin Feng drew a girl from the No. 9 High School.

The opponent's strength was lackluster, and Lin Feng didn't even use his trump card; he just sent out some minor beasts and cleared the opponent.

After several subsequent rounds, Tang You had bad luck, ran into a tough opponent, and was eliminated.

After round after round of slaughter, the list of the top eight was finally released.

Gu Ze barely squeezed into the top eight.

Among the eight people, No. 3 High School took two spots, No. 8 High School took one, and the remaining five spots were all people from City No.1 High School.

And in the subsequent quarter-finals, Gu Ze was also unfortunately eliminated.

When leaving the stage, he patted Lin Feng's back with red-rimmed eyes: "These guys from City No.1 High School really play dirty! Brother, the face of No. 3 High School depends entirely on you to carry!"

Lin Feng patted his shoulder as comfort and turned to face the semi-final seats.

The remaining three people were all dressed in the uniform of City No.1 High School.

"Now! The semi-finals officially begin!"

"Who will be the one to laugh last and lift the championship trophy!"

The host's voice spread throughout the entire venue via the loudspeaker.

Every duel from here on out would determine the final ranking.

In previous years at this time, the top four would have long been swept by City No.1 High School.

But today, a lone seed from No. 3 High School had forced its way in.

On the VIP high platform.

The other nine principals looked at Principal Qin in unison.

"Old Qin! It seems you really weren't bragging today."

"Being able to scrape into fourth place can be considered bringing honor to your ancestors."

"It's just a pity that your good luck ends here."

Several principals chatted and laughed.

In their eyes, no one could shake the dominant position of City No.1 High School.

For Lin Feng to sneak into the top four, it must have been that smoke was rising from his ancestral grave.

Faced with the sarcasm of his colleagues, Principal Qin was as steady as Mount Tai.

Lin Feng hadn't even revealed his true trump card yet.

Whether who will end up with a swollen face later is still uncertain.

"First match of the semi-finals!"

"Lin Feng of City No. 3 High School, versus Wang Hao of City No.1 High School!"
