114: I nominate... Su Muxue!

By the time Zhao Shanhe arrived at the conference room, Wang Ting was already there.

As the principal, Wang Ting was not wearing formal attire today; instead, he was dressed in a black martial arts suit.

Although he was just sitting there calmly, his entire being exuded a murderous Aura, like a wild beast ready to devour someone at any moment.

This invisible Aura even made Zhao Shanhe, a Lord-level Beast Soul Master, feel a considerable amount of pressure.

As the time for the meeting drew closer, more and more of the school's top brass filed into the conference room.

Before long, the long table in the conference room was almost completely filled.

Wang Ting looked around and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is here, we can begin the meeting."

However, just as Wang Ting spoke, another figure appeared at the doorway of the conference room.

Then, a slightly raspy voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Ahem... Sorry, I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I hope I'm not late?"

Accompanied by this voice, a thin, pale middle-aged man walked in slowly from outside. He pulled out a chair for himself and sat down at the spot furthest from Wang Ting.

For a moment, almost everyone's eyes fell upon this pale man.

Because this person was none other than the Vice Principal of Modu Beast University, Li Xiangui!

After settling in, Li Xiangui gestured for Wang Ting to proceed and said with a smile, "Principal Wang Ting, my apologies for being late and interrupting. Please, continue."

Watching this scene, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

To be honest, he had long heard that Vice Principal Li Xiangui and Principal Wang Ting did not get along.

It seemed this wasn't just a rumor, but a fact.

And the reason for the conflict between the two was quite simple.

It was because of the position of Principal of Modu Beast University.

Even before Wang Ting came to Modu Beast University to serve as Principal, Li Xiangui was already its Vice Principal.

At that time, almost everyone believed that Li Xiangui would be the next Principal.

After all, whether in terms of seniority or strength, Li Xiangui was certainly not inferior to anyone else.

However, unexpectedly, at the critical moment when the old Principal stepped down, Wang Ting was parachuted in to take over the role of Principal of Modu Beast University.

Although this was the decision of the Huaxia Military Department and the old Principal was satisfied with the choice, Li Xiangui could never swallow his pride.

He, Li Xiangui, had dedicated so many years to Modu Beast University and cultivated so many outstanding students.

On what grounds?!

Why should Wang Ting be able to sit in that top position as soon as he arrived?!

Why should he, Li Xiangui, have to be subordinate to someone else?!

Naturally, he could not be reconciled to such an outcome.

This led to Li Xiangui's resentment toward Wang Ting growing day by day.

Over the years, the overt and covert struggles between him and Wang Ting had never ceased.

Facing Li Xiangui's provocative 'apology,' Wang Ting seemed accustomed to it and said calmly, "Teacher Zhao, since everyone is here, please close the door."

"Aside from Vice Principal Li, no one else should be late."

"Alright."

Zhao Shanhe immediately stood up, walked to the door, and closed the entrance to the conference hall.

Seeing this, Li Xiangui's expression couldn't help but darken.

He knew perfectly well that Wang Ting's words were clearly aimed at him.

This guy really wouldn't take the slightest loss.

However, aside from a cold snort, Li Xiangui did not respond further.

After all, both he and Wang Ting were Beast Emperor Level Beast Soul Masters; if they fixated solely on verbal sparring, it would be beneath them.

Then, Wang Ting looked around again and said calmly, "I believe everyone already knows the purpose of calling this meeting."

"It is to finalize the roster of participants for the National Freshman Friendship Competition!"

"This is the nation's first National Freshman Friendship Competition, and all prestigious schools, including Yanjing Beast University, will participate!"

"I do not want our students to lose Face for Modu Beast University at this grand event."

"I wonder... does anyone have any suitable candidates?"

"If you have candidates in mind, you can propose them now for discussion before we make our final selection."

After Wang Ting spoke, most of the people in the conference room fell into deep thought, seemingly contemplating candidates to recommend.

You see, recommending candidates is a thankless task.

If the recommended students achieve excellent results in the National Freshman Friendship Competition, that would naturally be wonderful.

But if they perform poorly, even if one isn't held accountable, their judgment would surely be called into question.

Seeing everyone remain silent, Wang Ting couldn't help but laugh. "Is it really that difficult to just recommend a few candidates?"

"In that case, I'll go first. I recommend Song Lan, the Top Scorer of the Modu City college entrance examination!"

"If I recall correctly, his beast soul is the SSS-rank Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly."

"If this type of beast soul is utilized properly, it will surely shine in the Team Battle!"

After Wang Ting spoke, the academy's senior management chimed in one after another.

"Principal Wang Ting is right; this Song Lan is indeed a promising Talent!"

"With such a highly talented Support-type Beast Soul Master, our Modu Beast University will certainly gain the upper hand in the Team Battle!"

"I agree. As a Support-type Beast Soul Master, the fact that Song Lan is ranked so high on the hidden dragon ranking is enough to prove his strength!"

Although Song Lan had just been defeated by Yuan Liean not long ago, no one mentioned it now.

After all, Song Lan was a candidate personally recommended by Wang Ting; they couldn't exactly go against the principal's Face, could they?

Saying Song Lan wasn't good enough now would be indirectly saying the principal's judgment was poor.

Besides, it's perfectly normal for a Support-type Beast Soul Master to lose to a Power-type Beast Soul Master.

This doesn't mean the role Song Lan can play is necessarily smaller than Yuan Liean's.

You see, Support-type Beast Souls are inherently rare.

An SSS-rank Talent Support-type Beast Soul like the Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly is even rarer, practically more precious than a giant panda.

Furthermore, a powerful Support-type Beast Soul Master can play an incredibly significant role on the battlefield.

They can even change the entire course of a battle single-handedly!

It's no wonder Wang Ting held such high expectations for Song Lan.

Under these circumstances, the proposal to include Song Lan in the official roster was quickly and unanimously approved by all the school's senior management.

The meeting had just begun, and one of the twelve spots, including substitutes, was already locked in.

Right then, a cold female voice rang out.

"I nominate Su Muxue. The beast soul she awakened is the S-rank Nine-Tailed Snow Fox."

"However, her beast soul has fused with a portion of Emperor-rank bloodline and has now grown to SSS-rank."

"In other words, in terms of both Talent and strength, I believe she meets the criteria for the National Freshman Friendship Competition."
