59: Chapter 59 Punishment? Superficially admitting fault, but actually seeking credit! Early graduation?

Bang!

A loud slapping sound echoed through the meeting room.

"This is simply lawless! Arrogant! Completely disregarding all hierarchy!"

"The Grand Examination is clearly an important process to test what has been learned during this period and let the students know their level of progress. Yet, it was turned into a mess by this Lu Qingyun, even determining rankings based on financial power in the end! This is undoubtedly trampling the dignity of our entire Tianjiao Camp!"

"If this gets out, how will the outside world view Tianjiao Camp? How can we guarantee the authority of Tianjiao Camp!"

"I propose that the main culprit of this incident, Lu Qingyun, be dealt with severely! Order him to return his ill-gotten gains, cancel the results of this ranking, and reschedule the Grand Examination for another day!"

Inside the meeting room, Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan and the various instructors, along with a few people who had not expressed any opinion from start to finish and were just silently observing and recording, were gathered together.

The person standing up now was Instructor Mu Cheng, who was an intimate friend of Instructor Zhao Lieyang.

At the time, he was not at the scene.

But when he learned what had happened, he, sharing the same personality as Instructor Zhao Lieyang, was also furious!

At this moment, taking advantage of the presence of the superiors and the ongoing meeting, he brought up this matter, hoping to obtain a fair judgment!

Otherwise, it would be an injustice to Instructor Zhao Lieyang, who was still lying in his hospital bed!

Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Instructor Mu Cheng's behavior of putting him on the spot.

However, because the superiors were still present, he could not lose his temper.

He could only bite the bullet and explain: "The reason for all of this actually lies in the flaws in the Grand Examination rules over the years."

"In the past, the suppressing power of a Xiantian Martial Artist instructor over students was absolute, whether in daily training or in examinations like this. Even when facing the most powerful students, they could suppress them! This led to a kind of blind confidence in the situation among the instructors."

"But the problem is, in this batch of Tianjiao Camp that I have taken over, a very special and powerful example has appeared!"

"Defeating a Xiantian Martial Artist while in the Aperture Opening Realm! Although there was a hint of trickery, one cannot deny his talent!"

"What is the purpose of our Tianjiao Camp? Isn't it to cultivate peerless experts who can stand on their own, or even step out of the province and expand the territory for humanity!"

"When facing a seed with this kind of potential, one naturally cannot follow the rules rigidly! The fact that he could think of this method to secure the greatest benefit for himself within the existing rules is, in itself, a manifestation of his strong character!"

"Therefore... regarding this incident, we must definitely amend the rules at their root as soon as possible to prevent such incidents from happening again!"

"On the other hand, as the Chief Instructor of Tianjiao Camp, I was not at the scene at the time to discover and stop this incident in time. Instead, I was guarding a student whose talent was originally damaged, which was indeed a dereliction of duty. Fortunately, that student successfully restored his talent in the end and possesses the top-tier ability of Spatial Control, with a level of talent no weaker than Lu Qingyun's!"

The more he spoke, the smoother Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan's words became.

By the end, he even seemed to be in high spirits.

Because, while this appeared to be an admission of fault, in reality, he attributed the most important error to the imperfect rules of the Tianjiao Camp from the past.

And as a newly appointed Chief Instructor, his responsibility for an error that had existed for who knows how many years was naturally negligible.

But on this basis, he first emphasized Lu Qingyun's outstanding talent and agile mind, noting that he was more excellent than all previous members of the Tianjiao Camp!

Afterward, he mentioned his own minor, unimportant mistake.

But with a turn of phrase, an Awakened with the ability of Spatial Control was enough for him to turn this insignificant mistake into a great merit!

In just a few short sentences, he had caused the achievements during his tenure to skyrocket!

Honestly, Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan felt that if he hadn't had martial artist talent back then, he might have taken a completely different path.

"Damaged talent, Spatial Control ability?"

The people from above hadn't said anything about Lu Qingyun earlier.

But upon hearing the latter part, they discussed it among themselves and finally asked:

"The junior from the Fuming Chamber of Commerce seems to be in this batch of Tianjiao Camp too. The one you mentioned... is it him?"

"Exactly."

Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan did not hide it.

One reason was duty, and the other was that this news could not be hidden at all.

The whole Tianjiao Camp knew about the scene back then, so how could it be suppressed?

Upon hearing Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan's words, those people immediately started whispering to each other and stopped recording the meeting content.

Seeing this, Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan gave Instructor Mu Cheng a cold look.

Immediately after, he prepared to end the meeting.

However, at this moment, Instructor Mu Cheng gritted his teeth, as if having made a decision, and continued to speak:

"Even if this matter is a result of the rules, but... Lu Qingyun beating a Xiantian Martial Artist instructor into serious injury is a solid fact!"

"With his current strength, he has long exceeded the scope of what Tianjiao Camp can teach. Furthermore, from the fact that he defeated all the students in the Tianjiao Camp by himself, it can be seen that his strength is at a crushing level compared to the other students. If this continues for a long time, under such a huge gap, I fear it will cause those students to lose their drive to improve."

"Therefore... I propose allowing him to graduate early!"
