Chapter 62: Invitation to Battle Bet

  "Senior, I..."

  Understood Nie Yuan's intention, Han Feng subconsciously wanted to explain himself for a couple of sentences, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Moreover, he wasn't even clear how much Nie Yuan knew or what he was trying to achieve.

  "What do you want to say?"

  Nie Yuan, shrouded in flames, said in a calm yet majestic tone: "You indulged your subordinates in forcibly taking away the newly-born equipment, and when others refused to give it up, you still plan to take action yourself? You don't even care about the academy's default rules, what else can you say?"

  "Senior, it's not like that."

  In front of Nie Yuan, Han Feng was no longer as arrogant as before, but instead spoke in a humble and cautious tone: "Chen Feng indeed made a mistake, I also said so earlier that he would be punished when we return. However, the reason why I'm troubling this newcomer is because he didn't show respect to his seniors first. If it wasn't for him directly fighting with the repeat student senior, I wouldn't have come over personally."

  "Sophistry!"

  Nie Yuan let out a cold snort, causing Han Feng's heart to skip a beat: "Your people are going to forcefully take our equipment, but we're not allowed to resist? Under the heavens, what kind of logic is this?"

  Nie Yuan's words were exactly what Hu Si was thinking in his heart. Being scolded like this, Han Feng was speechless.

  "I know what you're thinking." Nie Yuan looked at Han Feng, who was lowering his head and not saying a word, and said: "You must be thinking that I'm being too lenient as your senior, and instead of finding someone else, you came to me. But the thing is, you've overstepped your bounds today and committed a taboo. Besides, Tian Cheng's style has always been like this, there are many people who don't like us. If you're not convinced, feel free to come and fight!"

  "Senior, you're being too serious!"

  Han Feng's head shook like an electric fan, and he didn't dare to accept Nie Yuan's words. Joking aside, a elite LV4 student challenging a heroic bloodline? What's the difference between this and seeking death?

  "I'll tell you something else, this morning the student union's nine senior students jointly issued a notice. I didn't read the specific content, but my friends from the club told me. The senior students in their fourth year are very dissatisfied with the chaotic situation of this generation. Indeed, some things can't be avoided, they can't manage everything and don't have that much time. But at least within the college, it is absolutely forbidden to threaten freshmen with violence. Whoever dares to break the unspoken rules will just wait for the student union's senior students to invite them out for tea."

  Nine seniors of the Student Union!

  When An Yu heard this, Han Feng was shocked. That is the strongest existence among the senior students in their fourth year, except for the legendary principal, they have the greatest power in the college. The key is that there are at least three twelve palace clubs supporting them behind their backs. The will of the seniors working together, no one in the Tianhui campus can stop it.

  "Seniors... did they really say that?" he asked with some difficulty.

  Nie Yuan's eyes turned cold and he stared at Han Feng: "Are you doubting the words of the senior students in their fourth year, or are you doubting me?"

  "There is no nothing!"

  Han Feng immediately shook his head, denying Nie Yuan's guess. Although he was very unhappy in his heart, since the words had been said to this point, for Nie Yuan's face, he could only admit defeat and say: "Senior's words, I understand. Then, let's drop this matter. After going back, I will restrain my subordinates well."

  Seeing Han Feng back down, Chen Feng's face fell as he had been expecting a scene of revenge. However, facing a senior from the Libra Society, he didn't dare say anything and could only nod and follow behind Han Feng, preparing to leave the public classroom. His previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen.

  But just as the newborns thought they had turned a corner and were ready to cheer loudly, a voice suddenly rang out.

  "Wait!"

  The sudden voice from the front of the classroom startled them. Even Nie Yuan's face changed, apparently he hadn't sensed the person either. It wasn't until he became alert and looked up that he discovered a very faint shadow beside the blackboard. His ability to conceal his presence was so high that even after speaking, the new students in the room still couldn't detect him.

  However, Han Feng knew who the visitor was and a look of extreme joy suddenly appeared on his face.

  "Old Ninth! You've arrived!"

  When Han Feng called out to him, the figure lightly responded with a hum. Afterwards, he deactivated his passive skill "Blur", revealing his figure. He was wearing a full-body grey-green suit, with a deep grey long cloak draped over his back. Han Feng may not have been able to discern the origin of this outfit, but Nie Yuan, also a senior in their third year, recognized at a glance that the visitor's equipment was none other than the rare Phantom Assassin set.

  Compared to the most ordinary common-grade accessories, it's a two-tier higher existence!

  "You really can't shake off your dark past!"

  Nie Yuan seemed to know the newcomer, and their relationship wasn't good. Seeing this man called "Jiu Ye" appear, the flames on Nie Yuan's body fluctuated irregularly, proving his bad mood.

  "You also know that Sagittarians are originally omnipresent."

  Due to the helmet, his voice sounded slightly muffled, and Hu Si Ming couldn't see his expression under the helmet. But one thing was certain, his appearance had stirred up waves in a matter that had already been settled.

  With a senior who is also a member of the Twelve Palaces backing him up, Han Feng has nothing to fear.

  Just as Hu Shiming had expected, the arrival of Ninth Master put Nie Yuan under immense pressure. This master who was suspected to have the bloodline of a Phantom Assassin didn't even glance at the two parties involved and directly said to Nie Yuan: "As a senior, you should treat your juniors fairly, how can you intentionally favor them just because they are new students with weak strength? One must be punished for their mistakes!"

  His words made Nie Yuan silent for a few seconds before asking: "Do you want to take his place?"

  Jiǔ yé qīng xiào yī shēng, dào: "Shuō bù shàng chū tóu, Hán Fēng xué dì běn lái jiù shì guà kào zài wǒmen Shè Shǒ Zuò míng xià de zhàn duì yuán huì. Wǒ zhè ge xué zhǎng, tí xié tā yī bǎ bú shì yīng gāi de me?"

  Nie Yuan's expression didn't change, and he said: "In this unified exam, those who encountered the underground tomb scene and could return to the ground with a perfect evaluation were only thirteen people. Among them, this little friend has something special. According to the instructions of Xu Lada, Wu Sheng, and Ba Laoban, these outstanding freshmen have all been included in the 21st issue of the Student Union's key attention list. Do you understand?"

  "Don't use the student union to suppress me!"

  The Ninth Master said impatiently, but the great names of the three legendary seniors were indeed not to be covered. Although he didn't admit it verbally, after pausing for two seconds, he looked at Nie Yuan and his attitude softened, asking: "What do you plan to do about this?"

  "Didn't I say so?" Nie Yuan coldly snorted and repeated, "That's it, this is my attitude."

  "No way!"

  The Ninth Master raised his hand nonchalantly, and a dagger with a suffocating blade suddenly appeared between his fingers. It was as if he was playing with it, but also subtly threatening: "My junior brother's subordinate did something wrong, and naturally, I will punish him when we return. But for a newcomer to defy an elder, this is something I cannot ignore. How about this? Let the two of them have a real fight, and let everyone speak with their strength. If the newcomer wins, then it will be as you said, and this matter will be settled. But if my man wins..."

  Nie Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the flames on his body suddenly brightened. The warmth that had seemed like a winter sun just moments before suddenly turned into a scorching summer sun: "What of it?"

  Jiuye paused for a moment, seemingly unable to think of a good idea. It was Han Feng who tactfully came over and whispered two sentences in his ear, before Jiuye nodded and said: "Alright, let him hand over his equipment and apologize publicly. I can guarantee that afterwards, I won't make things difficult for him."

  "Don't you think that's too much? Nie Yuan glanced at the calm Hu Si Ming and said to Jiu Ye, "Letting freshmen and repeaters duel is unfair in itself. Moreover, the odds of winning are too different. Your proposal is meaningless."

  Nie Yuan's attitude didn't seem strange to Jiu Ye at all, who countered with a question: "Then what do you think?"

  "Isn't there a required course later? Let the two of you go online and challenge each other. In the battlefield of required courses, self-enhancement cannot be used, which is the closest to being fair. Moreover, you need to add notes!"

  Jiuye hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing to Nie Yuan's plan: "Alright."

  After spitting out these two words, he looked at Han Feng and reminded him: "This matter, I have already discussed it with Nie Yuan Xue Chang, and it will be handled like this. Since you caused it, choose a decent prop as a bet yourself. Regardless of the outcome, this matter will be settled, do you understand?"
