34: Chapter 34: Hidden Tactics, Wang Weidong's Fury!

The two found Instructor Wang Weidong, who was grinning foolishly in front of the leaderboard, and were somewhat confused.

"Instructor Wang, could you take a look and see why we can't submit our results?"

Zhang Jian's puzzled voice snapped him back to reality.

He hurriedly looked at Zhang Jian and Wang Fei's personal terminals.

Seeing that it displayed that the submitter's identity was non-compliant and therefore rejected.

Instructor Wang Weidong found it unbelievable when he saw the prompt.

"An SSS-Rank Nightmare-level rating is non-compliant?"

"With the number one total ranking in the whole city and the vision from the heavens, what is there to dispute?"

"If such a performance of excellence is non-compliant, then no one meets the rules!"

He furiously dialed the personal terminal and questioned the Academic Affairs Office.

"What are you all doing? Why can't Zhang Jian and Wang Fei's results be submitted?"

The other party gave him an unexpected answer.

It was specifically instructed by Dean Wang Hongming.

Instructor Wang Weidong's heart sank.

He thought of the last time Zhang Jian couldn't enter the dungeon due to being overdue, and the other party's abnormal behavior.

Could it be him again this time?

He couldn't believe it and dialed the other party's number.

"Dean, I'd like to ask about Zhang Jian and the others..."

Wang Hongming's voice was slow and leisurely.

"Old Wang, this matter is indeed a pity."

"Although Zhang Jian has cleared his overdue status, the Professionals Association has a corresponding review mechanism that hasn't passed yet."

"Zhang Jian's current status is a bit awkward; if our academy submits it, we might bear a great responsibility."

After hearing his words, Instructor Wang Weidong laughed in extreme anger.

"I don't care what the Professionals Association is pulling."

"However, Dean, you must know!"

"Zhang Jian obtained an SSS-Rank rating for clearing the Nightmare-level dungeon; isn't such a talent of excellence worth the academy vouching for him?"

"What?"

Wang Hongming's voice was full of disbelief.

"Aren't he and Wang Fei only Rank 5 or 6? How could they have such a performance?"

Instructor Wang Weidong felt a sense of relief.

It seems the Dean doesn't understand the situation.

He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"That's not all!"

"They only needed one attempt to Rank first in Jin City and second in history, only trailing [Yun Feiyang]'s score by just over a minute."

At this, Wang Hongming fell completely silent.

From the personal terminal, only heavy breathing could be heard.

Instructor Wang Weidong was secretly delighted.

Old guy, still pretending with me, you're shocked now, right?

"Dean, it's not just that!"

"Just now, they cleared it twice in a row, and their final results broke the record held by [Yun Feiyang] for twenty years, becoming the new number one in Jin City history!"

"This is a Prodigy-level achievement; our academy surely can't chill their hearts, right?"

Instructor Wang Weidong winked at Zhang Jian.

Meaning: look, the Dean has nothing to say now, right?

Just when Instructor Wang Weidong thought the other party had finally figured it out and changed his mind.

Wang Hongming's conflicted voice finally came through.

"Even a Prodigy can't help it; we must follow the rules. That's it!"

Looking at the hung-up call, Instructor Wang Weidong was shocked.

Is the Dean crazy?

Did someone drug him?

To actually turn away someone with Zhang Jian's performance and cooperate with the Professionals Association in whatever scheme they are concocting.

He really wanted to call back.

To persuade the other party again.

Even.

He had even prepared his speech in his mind instantly.

For example, with Zhang Jian's strength, he would definitely achieve excellent results in the Professional unified examination, bringing glory to the academy and to Jin City.

By then, the benefits and reputation you, Dean, would gain would certainly not be small.

As long as you are tough now and block those messy things for Zhang Jian, gaining the favor of a future powerhouse is better than anything, right?

But just as he was about to dial again, Zhang Jian reached out and stopped him.

"No need, Instructor."

Instructor Wang Weidong looked anxious, "You don't need to worry, Zhang Jian."

"I will definitely get justice for you."

Zhang Jian shook his head.

"Instructor, you have already done enough for us."

"Since someone is pulling strings in the dark, we won't waste time on this."

Instructor Wang Weidong was almost moved to tears.

Such an excellent student as Zhang Jian, yet he faces such unfair treatment.

Is there any justice?

Is there any law!

However, he still didn't give up.

"No, it can't end like this!"

"Even if I report it to the higher-level Professionals Association or relevant departments, I cannot let them act recklessly!"

Zhang Jian was moved, but still shook his head.

"Let's not bother."

Instructor Wang Weidong's expression was conflicted, "If this problem isn't solved, then how will you participate in the Professional unified examination?"

Zhang Jian, however, had a mysterious smile.

"If I can't participate as an academy student, aren't there other ways?"

Instructor Wang Weidong's eyes widened.

"You mean?"

Wang Fei, who had been silent for a long time, took over the conversation.

"Academy candidates use the clearance records and relevant ratings of trial dungeons as their in-school results, while non-academy social candidates can also use the records and ratings of other dungeons as their own results."

"This is knowledge you, Old Wang, popularized for us during class."

Instructor Wang Weidong didn't have time to worry about the fact that this guy Wang Fei dared to call him Old Wang.

His mind cleared up instantly.

"Yes, that's right, I did say that."

"But I also said that this path for social candidates is much harder."

"Other dungeons not only have high monster difficulty, but at least a clearance record of a Hard-level dungeon is required to count."

"But under the final assessment standards, the points they can obtain are not much higher than those of academy candidates."

"For so many years, it's rare for social candidates to get into key universities, and top universities are even fewer."

"After all."

He paused, as if he were lecturing in class.

"Either they are older and didn't make it to an academy, or they have deep family backgrounds with specialized teachers, which can be described as severe polarization."

"But you are still students of the academy; if you take this path, there is no turning back!"

Zhang Jian's face turned cold.

"Then, Instructor, do you think anyone is giving us a way out?"

Instructor Wang Weidong was silent.

But he was still a bit worried.

"There aren't many dungeons in our Jincheng City, but the difficulty varies greatly. Don't rush; I will study it carefully and find the most suitable one for you!"

Zhang Jian gently patted his arm and comforted him.

"We already have a target. Thank you for your trouble, Instructor."

"The Abandoned Furnace is not bad."

Instructor Wang Weidong was shocked.

"That dungeon in the black market?"

"That dungeon has monsters with a minimum Rank of 10 and up to 25!"

"To get a Hard-level rating, you have to face at least Rank 20 monsters, right? That's impossible for you!"

Wang Fei could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Then, Old Wang, where do you think we earned the money to pay off 5 million in two days?"

Instructor Wang Weidong opened his mouth wide, incredulous.

"Could it be, you... can already clear it?"

Zhang Jian nodded.

"Rest assured, Instructor."

"No matter what conspiracy they want to play, we will use our upright strength to crush it!"

Instructor Wang Weidong sniffled, but like an obedient student, nodded submissively.

"As long as you are still willing to call me Instructor, these years of teaching the children haven't been in vain!"

"This lousy academy, it's not worth working for anyway!"

As the three were talking, another commotion came from the dungeon area.

It turned out.

Ye Wenjie's team had cleared the dungeon.
